Kit a moment Tarxan thought thai b7
me trnnge freak of fate a miracle
had saved him, but when ho realised tho
easo with which the girl had, single
handed, beaten oft ! a-orllla-llke male,
and an Instant later, as he saw them
again tako up their danco about him
white she addressed them In a slngsong-
monotone, which bore every evidence o
rote, he- came to tho conclusion mat
was alt but ft part of tho ceremony of
which he was tho central figure.
After a moment or two tho girl drow a
ltnlfe from her girdle, and leaning over
Tartan cut tho bond from his legs,
vhon. ihit men atonncd their dance and
' approached, aho motioned to him to rise,
Mtn i ho rnnn that had been about hli
legs around his neck, she led him across'
tho courtyard, tho men following in twos.
Through winding corridors she led,
forther and farther Into the remoter pre
cincts of the temple, until they came to
a great chamber In tho centra of which
stood an altar. Then It Was that Tar
jtan translated tho strango ceremony that
had preceded his Introduction Into this
holy of holies.
Ho had fallen Into tne hands of
defendants of the ancient sun wor
shippers. His seeming rescue by a vo
taress of the high priestess of tie sun
had been but ft part of tho mimicry of
their heathen ccremony-the sun looking
down upon him through tho opening nt
tho top of tho court had claimed him ns
his own, and the priestess had come from
tho Inner temple to save him from tha
polluting hands of worldllngs-lo save
him as a human offering to their flaming
deity.
And had ho needed further nssurnnto
as to the correctness of his theory ho
had only to east his oyes upon the brownish-red
stains that caked the stono altar
And covered tho floor In Its Immediate vi
cinity, or to tho human akulls which
grinned from countless niches In tho tow
ering walls.
The priestess led the victim to tho altar
steps. Again tho galleries above filled
with watchers, while from nn arched
doorway at tho cast end of tho chamber
a procession of females filed slowly Into
tho room. They wore, llko tho men, only
skins of wild animals caught about tli
waists with rawhide belts or chains of
gold: but the black masses of their hair
were Incrusted with golden headgear
composed of many circular and oval
pieces of gold ingeniously held together
to form a metal cap from which de
pended, at caoh side of the head, long
strlngn of oval pieces falling to tho
The females wero more symmetrically
proportioned than tho males, their fea
tures were much more perfect, tho shapes
Of their heads and their large, soft, blan.c
eyes denoting far greater Intelligence and
humanity than was possessed by their
'lords, and masters.
' .Each priestess bore two golden cups,
and na they fprmed In line along one side
of tho altar the men formed opposite
them, advancing and taking each a cUp
from tho female opposite. Then the
chant began once more, and presently
from tt dark passageway boyond tho al
tar another female emerged from the
cavernous depths beneath the chamber.
The high priestess, thought Tarsan 8ho
was a young woman with a rather In
telligent and shapely . face. Her orna
ments were similar to those worn by her
votaries, but much more elaborate, many
being et with diamonds. Her bare arms
and legs were almost concealed by the
massive, bejeweled ornaments which cov
ered them, whllo her single leopard skin
was supported by a closo-flttlng glrdlo
of golden rings set In strange designs
with Innumerable small diamonds. In
the glrdlo she carried a long. Jewelod
knife, and In her hand a slender wand
In lieu of a bludgeon.
As she advanced to the opposlto sldo of
tho altar she halted, nnd the chanting
censed. Tho priests and priestesses knelt
before her, whllo with wand extended
above them she recited a long and tire
some prayer. Her volco was soft and mu
sical, Tarzon could scarce realize that Its
possessor In a moment moro would bs
transformed by the fanatical cstusy of
religious seal Into a wild-eyed and blood
thirsty executioner, who, with dripping
Jtnlfe, would bo the first to drink her
victim's red. warm blood from the little
golden cup that stood upon the altar.
As sho finished her prayer she let her
oyes rest for the first time upon Tanan.
With every Indication of considerable
curiosity she examined htm from head to
foot. Then she addressed htm, and when
she had finished' stie stood wafting, as
though she expected a reply.
"I do not speak your language," satd
Tanan. "Possibly we may speak to
gether In another tongue!" .But sho could
not understand him, though he tried
French. English, Arab, Wazlrl, and. ns a
last resort,, the mongrel tonguo of the
TVest Coast.
Shs'shook. her head, and It seemed that
-there, was a note of weariness In her voice
bb slie"motloncd to the priests to continue
with the rltis. These now circled In a.
repetition of their Idiotic dance, which was
terminated finally at a. command from
the priestess, who had stood throughout,
till looking Intently upon Tanan.
At her signal tho priests rushed upon
tho ape-man, and, lifting him bodily, laid
him upon his back across the altar, his
head hanging over one edge, his legs over
the opposite. Then they and the priest
esses formed In two lines, with their little
golden cups In readiness to capture a
share of the victim's llfeblood after the
sacrificial knlfo had accomplished Its
work.
In the lino of priests an altercation
arose as to who should have first place.
A burly brute with all the refined Intelli
gence of a gorilla stamped upon his
bestial face was attempting to push a
smaller man to second place, but tho
smaller one appealed to the high priest
ess, who, In a cold, peremptory voice sent
the larger to the extreme end of tho line.
Tanan could hear him growling and

voice rose louder and louder. A priestess

The knife was tjulte near to Tafin i

shoot her swift displeasure nt the insti
gator of this sacrilegious Interuptlon.

see tho burly brute of a priest leap upon
the woman opposite him, dashing out her
brains with a single blow of hl heavy
cudgel. Then that happened which Tar
san had witnessed a hundred times before
among tho wild denlxens of his own sav
age jungle. Ho had seen the thing fall
upon Kerchak, and Tublnt and Tcrkozl
upon a doien of the other mighty bull
apes of his tribe! nnd upon Tontor, tho
elephant: there was scarco any of the
males of tho forest that did not nt times
fail prey to It. The priest went nmd. and
with his heavy bludgeon ran amucK
among his fellows.
His screams of rage wero frightful as lie
dashed hither and thither, dealing tcrrlflo
blows with his giant weapon, or sinking
his yellow fangs Into tho flesh of soma
luckless victim. And during It the priest
ess stood with poised knlfo above Tanan,
her eyes fixed In horror upon the inanlacal
thing that was dealing out death and de
struction to her votaries.
I'rcscntly tho room was emptied ex
cept for tho dead nnd dying on the floor,
tho victim upon the altar, tho high priest
ess and the madman. As tho cunning
eyes of the latter fell upon tho woman
they lighted with n new and sudden lust.
Slowly ho crept toward her, and now he
spoke: but this time there fell Upon Tar
san's surprised cars a language ho. could
understand! the last one that he would
over have thought of employing In at
tempting to converse with human beings
tho low guttural barking of tho tribe
of great anthropoids his own mother
tongue. And the woman answered the
man In the same language. ,
Ho was' threatening she attempting to
reason with him, for It was quite evident
that sho saw that he was past her author
ity. Tho brute was qulta close now
creeping with clawlike hands extended
townrd her around tho" end of tho altar.
Tnnnn strained at .the bonds which
held his arms pinioned behind him. Tho
woman did not see she had forgotten her
prey In the horror of the danger that
threatened herself. As the brute leaped
past Tanan to clutch his victim, tho
ape-man gave one superhuman wrench at
the thongs that held him. The effort
sent him rolling from the altar to the
stono floor on the-opposite side from that
on which tho priestess, stood: but as he
sprang to his' feet the thongs dropped
from his freed arms, and at the samo
time he realized that he was atone In
tho Inner temple the high priestess and
the mad priest had disappeared.
And then a .muffled scream camo from
the cavernous mouth of the dark hole
beyond the sacrificial altar through which
thn priestess had entered the temple.
Without even a thought for hla own
safety, or the possibility for escape which
this rapid series of fortuitous circum
stances had thrust upon him, Tanan of
the Apes answered the call of tho woman
In danger. With a lithe bound ho was
at the gaping entrance to the 'subterra
nean chamber, and a moment later was
ruhning down a flight of age-old con
crete steps that led ho knew not where.
The faint light that filtered In from
above showed him a large, low-celled
vault from which several doorways led
off Into Inky darkness, but there was
no need to thread an unknown way, for
there before him lay the objects of his
search the' mad bruto had the girl upon
tho floor; and the gorilla-like fingers were
clutching frantically at her throat as
she struggled to. escape the fury of tho
awful thing upon her.
As Tarzan's heavy hand fell upon his
shoulder the priest dropped his victim,
and turned upon her would-be rescuer,
With foam-flecked lips and bared fangs
the mad sun-worshipper battled with the
tenfold power of the maniac. In tin
blood lust ,of his fury the creature had
undergone a sudden reversion to type.
Which left him a wild beast, forgetful of
the dogger that projected from his belt
thinking only of nature's weapons with
which his brute prototype had battled.
But If he could use his teeth and hands
to advantago, he found ono even better
versed In the school of savage warfare
to which he had reverted, for Tanan of
the Apes closed with htm. and they fell
to the floor tearing and rending at one
another like two bull apes; while the
prlmltlvo priestess stood flattened agalnet
the wall, watching with wide, fear-fascinated
eyes tho growling, snapping
beasts at her feet.
At last she saw tho stranger close ono
mighty hand upon the throat of his an
tagonist, and as ho forced the brute
man's head far back, rain blow after blow
upon the upturned face. A moment later
he threw the still thing from him, and,
arising, shook himself like a reat lion.
Hd placed a foot upon the carcass before
him, and raised his head to give the vic
tory cry of his kind, but as his eyes fell
upon the opening above him leading Into
the temple of human sacrifice he thought
better of his Intended act
The girl, who had been halt paralyzed
by fear as the two men fought, had Juit
commenced to give thought to her prob-

means of escape. The black mouth of a.

quick leap he was at rief side, and a re
straining hand was laid upon hef arm.
"Wnltl" said Tftrzan of the Apw. In
tho language of the tribe of Kerchak.
The gtrl looked at htm In astonishment.
"Who are you," she whispered, "who
speaks tho language of the first man?
I am Tawan of the Apes," lie an
swered In the vernacular of the anthro
poids. "What do you want of met" she con
tinued. "For what purpose did you savo
me from That"
"I could not eo a woman murdered V
It was ft half question that answered
her.
"But what do you Intend to do with me
nowt" she continued.
"Nothlig," he replied, "but you can do
somethlig for me you can lead mo out
of this place to freedom." He mado tho
suggestion without the slightest thought
that she would accede. He felt quite
euro that tho sacrifice would go on from
tho point where It had been Intertipted
If tho high priestess had her way, though
ho was equally posltlvo that they would
find Tarzan of tho Apes unbound and
with n long dagger in hla hand a much
less tractnblo victim than Tnrzan dis
armed nnd bound.
Tho girl stood looking at him for a
long moment before she spoke.
"You nro n wonderful man," she said.
"You nro such a man ns I have seen In
my daydreams over since I was a little
girl. You aro such a rnnn as I Imaglno
tho forebears of my people must have
boon-the great rnco of people who built
this mighty city in tho heart of a savage
world that they might wrest from tho
bowels of the earth the fabulous wealth
for which they had sacrificed their far
distant civilization.
"I cannot understand why you came to
my rescue In tho first plnco, and now I
can't undorBtand why, having me within
your power, you do not wish to bo re
venged upon mo for having sentenced you
to denth-for having nlmoat having put
you to death with my own hand."
"I presume," replied the ape-man, "that
you but follow tho teachlngn of your re
ligion. I ennnot blamo you for that, no
matter what I may think of your creed.
But who aro you what people have I
fallen among?"
"I nm La, high priestess of tho Templo
of the Sun, In tho city of Opar. Wo nro
descendants of n people who came to this
savage world moro than ten thousand
years ago In seach of gold. Their cities
stretched from a great sea. under the ris
ing sun to n great sea Into which the sun
doscends nt night to cool his flaming
brow. Thoy were very rich nnd very
powerful, but they lived only n .few
months of the year In their magnificent
palaces here: tho rest of their time they
spent In their native land, far, far to tho
north.
"Many ships went back and forth be
tween this now world and tho old. Dur
ing tho rainy season there wero but few
Inhabitants remained here, only thoso
who superintend the working of the
mines by the black slaves, and tho mer
chants who had to stay to, supply their
wants, and the soldiers who guarded tho
cities and the mines.
"It was at ono of these times that tho
groat calamity occurcd. When Ihe tlmo
camo for tho teeming thousands to return
none came. For weckH tho people waited.
Then thoy sent out a great galloy to learn
why no one came from tho mother coun
try, but though they sailed, about for
many months, they were unable to And
any trace of the mighty land that had
for ages borne their civilization-It had
sunk Into the sea,
"From that day dated the downfall of
my people. Disheartened and unhappy,
they soon became a prey to tho blacK
hordes of the north nnd tho black hordes
of tho south. Ono by one the cltleB wero
deserted or overcome. The last remnant
was Anally forced totake shelter with n
this mighty mountain fortress. Slowly
we have dwindled In power, In civiliza
tion, In intellect. In numbers, until now
we, are no more than a small tribe ot
savage apes.
"In fact, the apes live with us, nnd have
for many ages. Wo call them tho first
men-we speak their language quite as
much as we do our own; only In the
rituals ot tho templo do we make any
attempt to retain our mother tongue. In
time it will bo forgotten, and wo will
speak only the language ot tho apes;
In time wo will no longer banish those
of our people who mate with apes, and
so In time wo shall descend to tho very
beasts for which ages ago our pro
genitors may have sprung."
"But why aro you more human than

Sho drew the crimson, roses from the
bowl and then thrust them back with a
gesture of loathing. They were too
heavy, too sweet, too gorgeous. They
reminded her too forcibly of htm. They
suggested too strongly tho dollars and
cents expended on them. She sank Into a
curved chair, and taking a photograph
from a silver holder on the desk, looked
critically nt the cynical, world-worn face.
As she pushed the picture Into tho holder
a plto of letters met her eye; she remem
bered that her maid had reminded her of
her mall on return from the theatre, but
In the crowding thoughts which had sub
merged her sho had forgotten It. She
pushed asldo the letters contemptuously,
Sho was used to, and weary of tho effu
sions. But as she pushed them from her a
little oblong box 'met her eye, 'and beside
It addressed In tho samo handwriting, lay
a letter. With a smothered exclamation
she bent nearer, and her face showed
oddly white under the rouge.
With trembling fingers she tore open
the letter and read:
"My little love; You will doubtless be
surprised to hear from me. In your new
and gorgeous .surroundings tho old lite

friends like people of a dream. But to

with grave eyes the face that looked

Tho little maid stared when sho entered

erently. "Mademoiselle," he said, earnestly, "do
you know what you are relinquishing?
Are you prepared to forego all the lux
ury, the pleasure, the splendor of your
present life to give up that which has
become almost a part ot your being to
give up all this for a life narrow and
petty a lite dull, and, perhaps, even
sordid?"
She raised her head proudly, and he
thought he had never seen her moro beau
tiful than when she answered him.
"No," she said, 'tit is not sordid, and
it will not be dull. Monsieur, It will be
glorified by love."
For a moment he stood In silence. Then
he raised his head and looked into the
clear eyes:
"Ah, Mademoiselle, It la worth an eter
nity of misery ono hour of lovo such' as
that"
He touched her hand again wth hla
lips, and then went quickly from the
room, without a backward glance.
She sank down beside the window, rest
ing her bowed head on hr arms, and on
the night air came to her the : voices of
the choristers, triumphant. Joyous.
