The girl drew back with a shud-

When Tanar completed his work
upon her, Stellara had been trans
formed into a bearded Korsar, but
the best that he could do in the
way Of disguise failed to hide en-
tirely The contours Of her figure.
Il am afraid they will suspect, +"
he said. Your figure is too femi-
nine for shorts and shirt to
hide it"
"Wait!" exclaimed stellara.
Sometimes the sailors, when they
are going on long voyages, wear
cloaks, which they use to sleep in
if the nights are cool. Let us see
if we can find such a. one here"

turned with q cloak made Of wide
striped goods. THAT will give you

they draped it about her, her
femme figure still was too evident.

suggested Stellar, and with scarfs
and handkerchiefs the Sarian built
the girls shoulders out so that she
resembled a short, stocky man.
Nov we are ready" said the
Sarian.
Stellara pointed to the body of
Buff. I'VE can not leave him lying
there" she said. Some one may
come to this room and discover him
and when they do, every man in the
palace-yes, even in the entire city
will be arrested and questioned"
Tanar looked about the room and
then he seized the corpse of Bull
and dragged it into a far corner,
after which he piled bundles of
bides and baskets upon it, and over
the blood stains upon the floor he
dragged other bales and baskets.
Now" he said, "is as good time
as another to put our DISCUSSES to
the test" Together they approached
the door "You know the least

"Then follow me-" replied Stel-
lara, as Tanar opened the door and

w msnded Stellara.
Wait and you shall See" replied
lamar, and drawing his dirk he
stopped and turned Buff over upon
his back. Then with the razor sharp
blade Of his weapon he commenced
to hack off the bushy, black beard
Of the dead Korsar.
Spreading Bluffs headcloth fat
upon the floor, Tanar deposited
upon it the hair that he cut from
the mans face, and when he had
completed his grew5ome tonsorial
effort he foldec the hair into the
handkerchief and, rising, motioned
for SteEars to follow him.
Going to the door that led into
the tunnel through which he had
escaped from the dungeon, Tanar
opened it, and smearing his fingers
with the pitch that exuded from the
boards upon the inside Of the door,
he sneared some it it upon the side
Of his face and then turned to
Stellara.
Put this hair upon my face in as
natural way as you can"
Horrible as the plan seemed and
though she shrank from touching
the hair Of the dead man, Stellara
steeled herself and did as Tanar bid.
Little by little, Tanar applied pitch
TO his face and Stellara placed the
hair upon it until presently only the
eyes and nose Of the Sarian re-
NAMED exposed.
The expression of the former were
altered by increasing the size and
business of the eyebrows with
shreds Of Bluffs beard that had been
left over. Then Stellara stood away
end surveyed him critically.
Do you think I can pass as a
KorsarP" he asked.
No one will suspect, unless they
question you closely as you leave the

is always much easier to leave the

occasions I have heard them say
merely that they we're going to their
ships. We can do the same"
DO I look like a Korsar sailor?"
demanded Stellara.

Tarzans gray eyes narrowed. His voice came
cold and level as he addressed them: Who are
you" he demanded, who dare thus invade the
country of q Waziri, the land Of Tarzan, with
out permission from the lord Of the jungle?"
The men looked amazed at this speech, then
laughed long and uproariously. Where do you
