but there was none that seemed

They spoke but seldom and then IN
tcnes which rcsemblcd the growing
OF beasts. nor once. while Tarznn
watched them. did he sec ono laugh
or even smile. which, OF nil their
traits, rendered them most unlike
the average native OF Africa. Tho
Tarzan's eyes searched the com
pound carefully, he saw no indica-
ton OF cooking utensilc or Of any
fire. Upon the ground about them
lay their weapons, short iavelin.liko
spears and a sort Of battle-ax with
a sharpened. metal blade. Tarzan
OF the Apes was glad that he had
come this way. for II had permitted
him 20 see such q type Of native
as he had not dreamed existcd--a
type so low that Il bordered closely
upon the brute. Even the Waz.done
and Ho.done Of Pau.ul.don were far
advanced in the scale Of evolution
TO these.
AS he looked at them he could
not but wonder that they were suf'
ficlcntly intelligent to manufacture
the weapons they possessed. which
he could soc. even at a distance,
