First the high priest confronted Tarzan
With the hlnck slave who previously had rec
ognized the ape-man at the banquet. At Luz
don's command the covering fellow told how
ne had seen this creature "as our warriors met
our neighporing enemy who had among them
this same tailless man. They called him Tar
IAN the Terrible and he fought cur warriors
with such strength that it took twenty to sub
due him. But he did not fight as god fights,

sank unconscious as might an ordinary NOR

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR.

A T luncheon, which they ate in
l. a quiet, candle-lighted restau-
rant, Larry began to tease Ellen
about the wedding ring.
Il do believe you selected that
plain ring to save me money. You
felt guilty over this one"
He flicked the solitaire with his
thumb-nail.
Il do feel sort of guilty" she adj
mitted timidly. You're too good
to me-"
What a whopper!"
Its true"
Get that out Of your head, dar-
ling, and instantly. No one could
be too good to you or for you.
You're the sweetest, dearest, most
honest"
You might not know"
He laughed at such foolishness.
What ARE you thinking about,
sweet, with your eyes so big and
your face so solemn?" he asked
after a while.
Ellen put down her coffee very
carefully. Il was thinking that I'm
not nearly so good as you think
I am she faltered. II was think
ing that I don't want you to feel
that way about me. 1t isn't right.
1t would break my heart to fail
you"
Il suppose you're limiting at that
dark past of yours" Larry leased.
We'll, I'm willing to risk it."
Are your" she asked so earnest
ly that he was sobered.
What are you driving at?" he
demanded. What do you mean?"
Il don't mean anything" Ellen

claimed. "lest Jad-ben-Otho strike them dead

Tarzan that the crafty Lu-don had already in

They met. as arranged, next
morning on Fifth avenue. He was
late and as Ellen sat waiting in the

absurdly nervous. What had de-

She tried 70 appear easy and as

averted her eyes from the clock.
All At once she saw Larry swing
through the revolving doors. Again

He glanced hurriedly about and
caught her eyes. Both smiled with
infinite content and Larry moved
swiftly across the room.

She looked exactly what she was

right of way for the new Kootenai
