From the location OF the stars
aud moon. and from the upward
rend % the TRAIL Tarau knew
that hc was bciug led into tho
mountains that he behind upar a
place h. had never thought Of
visiting. since the country appeared
tough and uninyiung, and not likely
10 harbor game such ss TarE,n
cared most TO hunt Tie was already
surprised by the nature Of the ycsr
talion. for he had thought the hiils
barrun except Tor stunted trees and
scaggy bush. As they continued
upon their way. climbing ever up
ward. the moon roso higher in the
heavens. until It's soft light revealed
u,orc clearly 20 the keen eyes OF
the ape man the topography of The
country they were traycrsins, aud
then u was that he saws they were
ascending narrow, thickly wooded
gorge. and he understood why the
heavy vegetation had been invisible
from tho plain before opar. Him.
self naturally uncommunieattye, the
woman's silence made no particular
impression upon Tarzan, Had hc
had anything 10 say he should have
said Il. and likewise he assumed
that there was no necessity FOR her
speaking unless there was some good
reason for speaking. FOR those who
travel far and fast have no breath
to waste upon conversation.
The eastern stars were fading NJ
the first hint Of coming dawn when
the two scrambled up a precipitous
bank that formed the upper end Of
the rayinc. and came out upon
comparatively level ground. Is they
advanced the sky llghtened, and
presently the woman halted at the
edge OF declivity, and as the day
broke Tarzan saw below him a
wooded basin in the heart OF the
mountain. and. showing thru the
trees at what appeared to b. some
two or three miles distant. the cut,
lines OF building that gIlstened
and sparkled and sciutilAted Ia the
light of the new sun. Then he
turned and looked NJ his companion.
and surprise and CONSERVATION wcre
writ upon his face. for standinS
before him was Ia, the high
priestess OF Opar
''You7" he exclaimed. Now, in.
deed. will cadI have the excuse
that Dooth said he sought 70 put
you out OF the way"
"Hc viii never have the oppor'
tunity 10 put me out Of the way.
replied Ia, FOR shall never re
turn to opar.'
Never return to Opars he ex
claimed. then where are yau 90
ing? where can you goTr
Il am going with you. she re
piled. II do not ask that you love
me. only ask that You take me
away from Opar and from the enc.
mics who would stay me. There
was no other way. Manu-. the
monkey. overheard them plotting
and he came to me and told me
all that they would do. Whether
/ saved you or sacrificed you. Il
had all been the same with me
They we're determined TO do away
with me. that Oah might be high
priestess and Cadj king OF Opar
But / should not have sacrificed
you. Tarzan. under any circum
stances. and this, then. seemed the
only way IN which we might both
be saved. We could not 20 to the
north or the west across the plain
OF Opar for there Cadj has placed
warriors IN ambush TO waylay you
and tho you be Tarzan and a
mighty fighter. they would over
whclm you by their very numbers
and STAY you"
But where are you leading me?-
asked Tarzan.
Il have chosen the lesser Of twe
evils; in this direction lies an un
known country. filled for US opar
ians with legends Of grim monsters
and strange people. Never has ar
Oparian yentured here and returned
again TO Opar. But II there lives
in all the world creature who
could win thru this unknown valley
IL be you. Tarzan Of the Apes"
But il you know nothing Of this
country, or its Inhabitants de
nanded Tarzan. how Is it that you
50 well know the train that leads
% ~"
we well know the trail to the
summit, but that is as far as ]
nave ever been before. Tho great
apes and the lions use this trail
when they come down into opar
The lions, OF course. cannot tell US
where IT leads. and the great apes
