"Von will have to come to me, mon

sufficient strength to gain my hand and

"fcnprlslll" muttered Monsieur Thurnn.
"Xou arc attorriptlntC to cheat me out

Again Clayton exerted his remaining

A moment later ho heard an exclama

"I am coming." whispered tho Hussion.
Again Clayton essayed to stagger on to
meet his fntc, hut once more he pitched
headlong to the boot's bottom, nor, try
as he would, could ho again rise. Ills

ever nearer and nearer, he could hear
the laborious shuffling, and the stertorous
breathing of tho Itueslnn.
It seemed that ho must havo lain thus
an hour waiting for tho thing to crawl
out of the dark and end his misery. It
wna quite close now, but thoro wero
longer and longer pauses between Its ef

to bo almost Imperceptible.
Finally ho knew that Thuran was qillto

laugh, something touched his face, and he
lost consciousness.
CHAPTER XIX.
THE' CITY OP GOLD.
THE very night that Tarzan of the
Apes became chief of tho Wnzirl tho
woman he loyed lay dying in a tiny boat
100 miles west of him upon the Atlantic.
As ho danced among his naked fellow
savages, tho llrellght gleaming against
lila great. Tolling muscles, the porsonlfl
catlon of physical perfection and Btrcngth,
tho woman who loved him lay thin and
emaciated In the last coma that precedes
death by thirst and starvation.
The weelc following tho Induction of
Tarzan into the kingship of tho Wazlrl
was occupied In escorting the Mnnyuema
of tho Arab raiders to the northern boun
dary of Wazlrl, In accordance with tho
promise which Tarzan had made them.
Before he left them he exacted a pledge
from them that they would not lead any
expeditions against tho Wazlrl In tho fu
' ture, nor was Jt a dlfllcult promise to
obtain. They had had sufficient oxpcrl
enco with tho lighting tactics of the new
"Wazlrl chief not to have tho slightest de
lro to accompany another predatory
force within the boundaries of his do
minion, Almost Immediately upon his return to
the Vlllago Tarzan commenced making
preparations for leading an expedition In
search of the ruined city of gold which
old Wazlrl had described to him. He
selected 50 of the sturdiest warriors of
his trloe. choosing only men who seemed
anxious to accompany him on the arduous
march and share tho dangers of a now
and hostile country.
Tho fabulous wealth of tho fabled city
had been almost constantly In his mind
since Wazlrl had recounted the strange
adventures of the former expedition
which had stumbled upon tTio vast ruins
by chance. Tho Juro of adventure may
have been quite as powerful a factor In
urging Tarzan of tho Apes to undertake
tho Journey as the luro of goldt but the
luro of gold, was there, too, for ho had
learned among civilized man something
of tho miracles that may bo. wrought by
the possessor of the maglo yellow metal.
What he would do with a golden fortune
In tho heart of savage Africa It had not
occurred to him to consider it would be'
enougn to possess tno,power. toivork won
ders, oven though "he never had an oppor
tunity to employ It.
So one glorious tropical morning Wazlrl,
chief of the "Wazlrl, set out at the head of
to clean-limbed ebon warriors In quest of
adventure and of riches. They followed
the course which old Wazlrl had described
to, Tarzan. For days they marchedup
one river, ncroes a low divide; down an
other river; up a third, until at tho end
of .the twenty-fifth day they capiped upon
a. mountain sdo, from the summit of
which thry hoped to catch their first view
of the marvelous city of treasure,
.Early tho next morning they were,
climbing the almost perpendicular crags
which formed tho last, but greatest, nat
ural barrier between them and their des
tlnatlcn. It was nearly noon before Tor
son, who headed the thin line of climbing
warriors, scrambled aver the top of the
last cliff and stood upon the llttlo flat
tableland of the mountalntop.
On either hand towered mighty peaks
thousands of feet higher than thepass
throwih. which they wero entering the
fojbldflen Valley. Dehind him stretched
the wopded valley across which they had
Jtjdljed for many days, and at the oppo
site side the low range which marked tho
boundary of their own country.
But before him was the view that cen
tred his attention. Here lay rt desolate
valley A shallow, narrow valley dotted
with stunted trees and covered with many
great boulders. And on the far side of
the valley lay what appeared to be a
mighty city, Its great walls. Its lofty
spires, Its turrets, minarets and domes
showing red and yellow In the sunlight.
Tarzan Was yet too far away to note the
mnrkn nt rntri tn him It nnneared it wonc
dcrful city of magnificent beauty, and In
Imagination he peopled Its broad avenues
and Its hugo temples with a throng of
happy, aCtlvo people.
For nn hour the llttlo expedition rested
upon the mountalntop, and then Tarzan
led them down Into tho valley below,
Thero was no trail, but the way was less
arduous than the ascent of the opposite
face of the mountain had been. Onco in
the valley their progress was rapid, so
that It was still light when they halted
before the towering Walls of tho ancient
city.
Tho outer wall was 60 feet In height
where It had not fatlen Into ruin, but no
where) as far as they could see had moro
than 10 or 2u feet of the upper courses
fallen away. It was still a formidable de
fense. On several occasions Tarzan hod
thought that he discerned things moving
behind the ruined portions of the wall
near to them, as though creatures wero
watching them from behind the bulwarks
of the ancient pile. And often ho felt tho
sensation of unseen eyes upon him, but
not onco could ho be sure that It was more
than Imagination.
That night they camped outsldo the city.
Once, ot midnight, thoy wero awakened
by a shrill scream from beyond the great
wall. It was very high at first, descend
ing graduully until It ended In a series of
dismal moans. , It had a strange effect
upon tho blacks, almost paralyzing them
with terror whte It lasted, and It was nn
hour before tho camp settled down to
Bleep onco more. In tho morning the ef
fects of It were still vlslblo" In tho fearful,
sidelong glances that the Wazlrl contin
ually cast nt the masslvo and forbidding
structure which loomed before them.
It required considerable encouragement
and urging on Tarzan's part to prevent
tho blacks from abandoning the venturo
on tho spot and hastening back across
the valley toward the cliffs they had
scnlcd tho day before. Dut nt length, by
dint of commands, and threats that he
would enter the city alone, they ngrced
to accompany him.
For IB minutes they marched along tho
faco of tho wall before they discovered
a means of Ingress. Then they camo to
a. nnrrow cleft about 20 Inches wide.
Within, a Iftght of concrete steps, worn
hollow by centuries of use. rose beforn
them, to disappear at a sharp turning
of tho passago a few yards ahead.
Into this nnrrow alley Tarzan mado his
way, turning his giant shoulders sideways
that they might enter at all. Dehind him
trailed his black warriors. At tho turn
In tho cleft tho stairs endvd, and tha
path was level: but it wound and twisted
In a serpentine, fashion, until suddenly at
a sharp angle It debouched upon a nar
row court, across which loomed an Inner
wall equally as high as the outer. This
Inner wall was set with little round
towers alternating along Its entlro sum
mit with pointed monoliths. In places
these had fallen, and the wall was ruined,
but It was In a much better stato of
preservation than the outer wall.
Another narrow passage led through
this wall, und at its end Tarzan and his
warriors found themselves In a broad ave
nue, on tho opposlto side of which
crumbling edifices of hewn granite
loomed dark and forbidding. Upon tho
crumbled debris along tho face of tho
buildings trees had grown, and vines
wound in n,nd out of the hollow, staring
windows; but tho building directly op
poslto them seemed less overgrown than
tho others, and In a much better state
of preservation. It was a masslvo pile,
surmounted by an enormous dome. At
either side of its great entrance stood
rnws of tall pillars, each capped by a
huge, grotesque bird carved from the
solid rock of the monoliths.
As tho ape-man and his companions
stood gazing In varying degrees of wor
rterment nt this ancient city In tho midst
r,f savage Africa, several of thorn became
aware of movement within tho structure
at which they were looking, Dim,
shadowy shapes appeared to bo moving
about In the semldarkness of the Interior.
There was nothing tangible that the eye
could grasp only nn uncanny suggestion
of life where It seemed that there should
be no life, for living things seemed out
or place n this weird, dead city of the
long-dead past.
Tarzan recalled something that he had
read In the library at Paris of a lost race
of "white men that native legend described
os living In tho heart of Africa. He'
wondered If he were not looklnir unan
tho ruins of the clvlltaztlon that this
Btrango people had wrought amid the
savage surroundings of their strange and
savage home. Could jt be possible that
even now a remnnnt of that lost race In
habited the ruined grandeur that had
once been their progenitors? Again ho
became conscious of a stealthy movement
within the great temple before him.
"Come," ho said to his Wazlrl. "Let
us have a look at what lies behind those
ruined walls."
His men were loath to follow him, but
when they saw that he was bravely en
tering tho frowning portal they trailed a
few pace's behind In a huddled group that
seemed the personification of nervous ter
ror. A single shriek such as they hod
heard the night befqre would hove been
sufficient to have sent them all racing
madly for the narrow cleft that led
through the great walls to the outer
world.
As Tarzan entered tho bulldlne- he was
distinctly aware of many eyes upon him. J
There was a rustling In tho shadows Of n,
nearby corridor, and he could have
sworn that he saw n human hand with
drawn front an embrasure that opened
above him Into tho domelike rotundA In
which ho found himself.
The floor of tho chAmbor was ot con
crete, the' wall of smooth' grnnlte, upon
which strong figures of mon and boasts
were carved, jn plates tablets of yellow
metal had been set In tho solid masonry
ot tho walls.
When ho aproached closer to one of
these tablets ho saw that It was of gold,
nnd bore many hieroglyphics. Heyond
this first chamber thero wero others, and
back ot them tho building branched out
Into enormous wings. Tarzan passed
through several of these chambers, find
ing many evidences ot the fabulous
wealth of the original builders. In one
room were seven pillars of solid gold,
and In another tho floor Itself was of
precious metal. And all tho while ho ex
plored his blacks huddled closo together
at his back, and strange shapes hovored
upon either hand and before them and
behind, yet never closo enough that any
might say that they were not nlono.
Tho strain, however, was telling upon
the nerves of tho Wazlrl. They said that
nu good could come of such an expedition,
for tho ruins wero haunted by the spirits
of tho dead who hnd onco Inhabited them.
"They aro watching us, O King," whis
pered Ilusull. "Thoy nro waiting until
they havo led us Into tho innermost re
cesses of their stronghold, nnd then they
will fall upon us nnd tear us to pieces
with their teeth. That Is tho way with
spirits. My mother's uncle, who Is n
great witch doctor, has told mo all about
it many times."
Tarzan laughed. "Itun back to the sun
light, my children," ho Bald. "I will Join
you when I havo searched this old ruin
from top to bottom nnd found tho gold
or found that thoro Is nono. At least wo
mny tako tho tablets from tho walls,
though tho pillars aro too heavy for us
to handlo! but thero should be great
storerooms filled with gold gold that wo
can carry nway upon our bucks with
enBc. Itun on now, out Into tho fresh air
where you may breatho easier."
Some of the warriors started to obey
their chief with alacrity, but Uusull and
Bcvornl others hesitated to leave him
hesitated between love nnd loyalty for
their King, and superstitious fear of tho
unknown. And then, quite unexpectedly,
that occurred which decided the question
without tho necessity for further discus
sion, uut or tno silence or tho ruined
tcmplo thero rang, closo to their cnrB, tho
samo mucous snncK tnoy had heard tho
previous night, nnd with horrified cries
tho black warriors turned nnd lied
through the empty halls of tho age-old
edifice.
Behind them stood Tarzan of tho Apes
whero they had left him, a grim smllo
upon his lips waiting for tho enemy ho
fully expected was about to pounco upon
him But again sllenca reigned, except
for the faint suggestion of tho sound of
naked feet moving stealthly In nearby
places.
Then Tarzan wheeled and passed on Into
the depths of tho tcmplo. From room to
room ho went, until ho enme to nn nt
which a rude, burred door still stood.
and. as ho put his shoulder against It to
push It In, again the shriek of warning
rang out almost beside him. It was evi
dent that he wns being warned to re
frnln from desecrating this particular
room. Or could It be that within lay the
secret to tho treasure stores?
At any rate, the very fact that tho
strange, Invlslblo guardians of this weird
place had flomo reason for wishing him
not to enter this particular chamber was
sufllclcnt to treble Tarzan's desire to do
so, nnd, though tho shrieking wns re
peated continuously, ho kept his shoulder
to tho door until it gavo before his giant
strength to swing open upon creaking
wooden hinges.
Within all was black as tho tomb. There
was no window to let In tho faintest ray
vi iigiu, ana, as mo corridor upon which
it opened was Itself In semldarkness,
even the open door shed no relieving rays
within. Feeling before him upon the
floor With tho butt Of his snear. Tnnnn
entered tlje Stygian gloom. Suddenly the
door behind him closed, and at tho samo
time hands clutched him from every di
rection out of the darkness.
Tho ape-man fought with nil the sav
ngo fury of self-preservation backed by
tho herculean strength that was his. But,
though he felt his blows land and his
teeth sink Into soft flesh, thero seemed
nlways two new hands to toko tho place
of those that he fought off. At last they
dragged him down, and Blowly, very
slowly, they overcame him by the mere
weight of their numbers. And then they
bound him his hands behind his back
nnd his feet trussed up to meet them.
Ho had heard no Bound except tho
heavy breathing of his antagonists, and
tho noise of tho battle. He knew not
what manner of creatures had captured
him, but that they wero human seemed
evident from tho fact that they had bound
him.
Presently they lifted him from the floor,
and, hnlf dragging, half pushing him,
they brought him out of tho hlnni nh.
ter, through onother doorway, Into an
Inner courtyard of the temnle. iiir. h
saw his captors. Thero must havo been
n hundred of them short, stocky men.
with great beards that covered their faces
and fell upon their hnlry breasts.
The thick, matted hair upon their heads
grew low over their receding brows, nnd
hung about their shoulders and their
bocks. Their crooked legs were short and
heavy, their arms, long and muscular.
About their loins they wore the skins of
leopards and of lions, and great neck
laces of the claws of these same animals
depended upon their breasts. Massive
circlets of virgin gold adorned their arms
and legs. For weapons they carried
heavy, knotted bludgeons, and in tho belts
that confined their single garmems each
had a long, wlcked-looklng knife
But the feature of them that made tho
most startling Impression upon their prls
oner was their white sklns-neither In
color nor feature was there ft trace of the
negroid About them fet, with their re
ceding foreheads, wicked little eloe-set
eye and yellow fangs, they were fAr
from prepossessing in appearance.
During the fight within the dafk cham
ber, and while they had been dragging
TArzan to the Inner court, no word had
been spoken, but now several of them ex
changed grunting, monosyllable, conver
sation In ft language Unfamiliar to the
Ape-man, nnd presently they left him
lying upon the concrete floor whllo they
trooped off on their short legs Into an
other part of the temple beyond the court.
As Tarzan lay upon his back he saw
that the temple entirely surrounded the
llttlo Inclosure, and that on nil sides Its
lofty walls rose high abovo him. At the
top n tittle patch of blue sky was visible,
nnd In nn direction, through nn embras
ure, ho could see foliage, but whether It
was beyorid or within the temple ho did
not know.
About the court, from the ground to the
ton of the temnle. wero series of open
galleries, nnd now and then the captlvo
caught glimpses of bright eyes gleaming
from beneath masses Of tumbling hair,
peering down upon him from above.
Tho ape-man gently tested the strength
of the bonds that held him. And While he
could not be sure, it seemed that they
were of insufficient strength to witnstana
tho strnln of his mighty muscles when
tho tlma came to make a break for free
dom; but ho did not dare put them to tho
crucial test until darkness hnd fallen,
or he felt that no spying eyes were upon
him.
Ho hnd lain within the court for several
hours beforo tho first rays of sunlight
penetrated tho Vertical shaft; almost si
multaneously ho heard the pattering of
bnro feet In tho corridors about mm. ana
a moment later saw tho galleries abovo
fill with crafty faces as a score or more
entered tho courtyard.
For a moment every eyo was bent upon
tho noonday sun, and then In unison tho
people. In tho galleries and those In the
court below took up the refrain of a. low,
weird chant. Presently those nbout Tar
zan began to danco to tho cadence of
their solemn sang. Thoy circled him
slowly, resembling In their manner of
dancing n number of clumsy, shuffling
bears; but as yet they did not, look at
htm, keeping their llttlo eyes fixed upon
tho sun.
For 10 minutes or moro they kept up
their monotonous chant nnd steps, and
then suddenly, and In perfect unison, they
turned toward their victim with upraised
the girl Whom he bad W'mnSmenV
gave a great tfaSP of AMBnlshment.
Betty Allls! Where on earth!
Jack Wilton! Where" .
The two stood silent In n hearty hand
grasp. Buddenly Jack fell to trembling
and for A moment ft panic seized him.
"Betty Allls!" he repeated, to think
that some one that I knew nnd-thnt l
knew, was In this cAtastrophe, lo
near death! It mAkes me-lt mskea

"We can't help," he said, "and you aro

"Shall wo try to And Bhclter In tho

Except for a solitary berth far down
tho aisle, Wilton had tho Pullman to hlm
Bclf. In sheer loneliness ho had turned
In enrly, and lay Blaring at the stars and
flitting telegraph poles, hour after hour.
His month of vacation at tho old home
hod been a disappointment. The Texan

bo would his puppy. And yet, after nil,
thero was no one who really cared.

den slowing of tho train had thrown vio
lently into his face. "Hang It! I wonder
why on earth Betty Allls had to tako

trip West. Tho one month out of flvo
years that might have given mo a chance
to see her nnd know her again. I wond "
Thero was sudden darkness. Wilton
found himself groveling on the car floor.
Thero was the maddening sense of tho
helplessness with which, In a nightmare,
one fights for breath and space. With
fearful momentum with grinding, tearing
and upheaving, the car rolled half ,way
to us siae, seemed to slldo down and
down, then, with a violent shock, -stood
still. Tho ghastly stlcnco that succeeded
was as appalling as tho uproar had been.
Wilton lay still for a moment, waiting
for ho knew not what, Then ho crawled
to his feet, gathered his clothes from the
opposlto section and rapidly dressed him
self.
"Wonder what's happened?" he thought
breathlessly. "Gee, smell that gas!" And
ho started toward the rear of the car.
As his hand touched the stateroom wall
at the end of tho aisle, a girl's volco
rang through the car. "Porter, porter, I
wish you would come help mo out." Wil
ton stopped. "Gad she's cool, anyhow,"
ho thought, ns ho listened for tho por
ter's response. None came. The odor of
gas was filling the car. He leaped to tho
opposite window and kicked out a pane,
letting In a flood of cold air. Then, as
quickly as Its angle would permit, ho
dashed down tho aisle to tho other berth.
"Let. mo help you, madam," ho said.
"Tho porter has deserted ua."
"I stem to be In a sort of well," my
berth is1 so tilted," answered tho girl. "If
you could Just lend tme a hand."
in a moment a girlish form was stand
ing beside him. "Aro wo killed?" she
asked, her voice trembling a little In
spite of Its brave tone.
"Not yet." answered Wilton, "hut w'rf
better get out at once. The goa tanks
aro leaking."
Together they groped down the aisle, to
And a brakeman forcing his way Into the
wreckage at the end of the car.
"Any one hurt in here?" ho asked,
flashing his lantern In their faces. "The
porter didn't stop to Bee."
"All safe." answered Wilton. "What's
tho trouble?"
"Open switch. Banged into coal chute.
Engineer and fireman killed. Lot of
coach passengers hurt. You are the only
Pullmans. Better get out of this," and
ho led the way up to the steep embank
ment, down which the train had plunged,
then trotted off down tha track, leaving
them alone beside the, tangle of trucks
and rails that marked the path of the
wreck,

"I never received the letters," sho said.
"You might havo known that Aunt Jano
would tnke caro of thaL"
Wilton walked up and down restlessly
half a dozen times, and threw sorao sticks
on tho flro beforo stopping In front of tho
girl. "And now," ho continued, "would
you mind telling mo vHiy you sent me
away from you Ave years ago?"
"That was not Aunt Jane's fault, Jack,"

Betty lifted her head bravely. "I Bent

Jack thrust his hands moro deeply into
his pockets. Ho was holding In well,
considering tho flood tldo within. The sun

lighting up the sweet mobility of her
face. Yes, It was the same dear Betty.
"And now," ho said, a little hoarsely.

know what the years have dono for me,
and you aro Ave years grown away." .
Betty rose slowly and looked into his
clear, dark eyes. She looked at tho fine,
firm mouth, the clear-cut, tanned face,
the straight, strong alertness of his figure.
She spoke slowly and softly.
"Yes," sho Bald, "wo did not wrlto to
