CHAPTER VII .Continued) "1T7HEN they had gone he descended W from the tree and sought food. Out upon tho plain grazed numerous herds of wild ruminants. Toward ti sleek, fttt bunch of zebras he wormed his stealthy wnv. No Intricate process ot reasoning caused him to cliclo . '-widely until he was down wind from his prey ho acted instinctively He took advantage of e ery form of co er as he crawled upon nil fours and often flat upon his stomach toward them. A plump mare and a fat stnllton grazed nearest to lilm ns he nenred tne herd. Again It was instinct which se lected tho former for his meat. A low bush grew but a few vnrds f:om the unsuspecting two The ape man teach ed Its shelter. Ho gathered his spear firmly in his grasp, cautiously ne drew his feet beneath him In a single swift move ho rose and cast nis heavy weapon at the mare's side. Nor did he wait to note the efTcct of his assault, but leaped catlike after his pear, his hunting knife ready in nis hand. For an Instant the two animals stood 'motionless. The tearing of tho craol barb into her side brought a sudden scream of pain nnd fright from the mare, and then they both wheeled and broke for safety. But Tarznn of the Apes, for a distance of a few janK could equal the speed of een these, and the first stride of the mare found her overhauled, with a savage beast at her shoulder. Sho turned, biting and kicking at her foe. Her mate hesitated for an Instant, as though about to rush to her assistance; but a backward glance revealed to him the living heels of the balance of the herd, and with a snort and a shake of his head ho wheeled and dashed nvvav Clinging with one hand to the short mane of his quarry, Tatznn struck1 .again and again with his knife nt the unprotected heart. The result had from the first, been inevitable. The mare fought bravely but hopelessly, and presently sank to tho earth, her heart pierced. The ape-man placed x foot upon her carcass and raised his vclce in the victory caff of the manganl. " In tho distance Basull halted as the fAlnt notes of. the hideous scream - broke upon his ears. "The great apes," he said to his companion. "It has been long since I have heard them In the countiy of tho Wazlrl. What could have brought them back?" Tarzan grasped his kill and dragged It to tho partial seclusion of the bush which had hidden his own near ap- L proach, and there ho squatted upon it, cut a huge hunk of flesh from the loin and proceeded to satisfy his hunger. Attracted by tho shrill screami ot tho mare, a pair of hyenas slunkpres ently Into view. They trotted to n point a few yards from the gorging ape-man and halted. Tarzan looked up, bared his fighting fangs and growled. The hyenas returned the compliment and withdrew a couple of paces. They made jio move to attack, but continued at a respectful distance until Tarzan had concluded his meal. After the ape-man had cut a few strips from the carcass to carry with I him, he walked slowly off in tho direc tion of the river to quench his thirst. His way lay directly toward tho hve ,nas, nor did he alter his course a jot because of them. "With all the majesty of Numa, the lion,, ho strode straight toward the growling beasts. For a, moment they held their ground, bristling and do flant; but only for a moment, and then slunk away to ono side while the Indifferent ape-man passed them on his lordly way. A moment later they Were tearing at the remains of tho Bcbra. Hack to the reeds Tarzan mndo his way and through them toward the Hver. A herd of buffalo, startled by his approach, roso ready to charge or to fly. A great bull pawed the ground and bellowed as his bloodshot eyes ills covered the Intruder; but the ape-man passed across their front as though Ignorant of their existence. Tho bull's bellowing lessened to a low" rumbling, he turned and sgraped a horde of files from his side with his muzzle, cost a final glance at the ape man, and resumed his feeding. His numerous family either followed hk example or stood gazing nfter Tar . sri In mild-eyed curiosity, until the 'apposite reeds swallowed him from v(w At tho river Tarzan drank his fill and bathed. During the, heat of the day he lay up under the shade of n : .tfcegr near the ruins of his burned 'fetrns. HU eye wandered out across itie plain toward the forest, nnd a l Wlna for the pleasures of Us mys- . . Mrtotis depths possessed his thoughts tin a considerable time.

Then, as they chanced to enter his mind, ho conceived a desire He leaped, cat to plaj with them again, and, having nothing better to do thnn satisfy the first whim which possessed him, no rose and started ucross the plain from the forest In w hich he had spent the preceding dnj. ' Though no mark showed whero the gems had been hurled, nnd though the upot resembled an unbroken stretch seveinl miles In length, where tne neds terminated at tho edge of tho meadow land, et the ape-man moved with unerring precision dlrectl to tho place where he had hid his treasure. With his hunting knife he upturned the loose earth, beneath which the pouch should be; but, though he ex cavated to a greater distance than the depth of tho original hole, there was no sign of pouch or Jewels. Tarzan's brow clouded as he discovered that he had been despoiled. Little or no reasoning was required to convince him of tho Identity of the guilty party, and with tho same celerity that had marked his decision to unearth -the Jewels ho set out upon tho trail of tho thief. .Though the spoor wa3 two days old, nnd virtually obliterated In many places, Tarzan followed it with com' J Piratlve ease. A white man could not have followed It twenty paces twelvo hours after It had been made; a black man would have lost It within the first mile. But Tarzan of tho Apes hnd been forced In childhood to develop senses that an ordinary mortal scarce ever uses. We may note the garlic and whisky on the breath of a fellow straphanger, or the cheap perfurno emanating from the person of tho wondrous lady sit ting In front of us, and deplore tho fact ot our sensitive noses; but as a matter of fact we cannot smell at all, our olfactory organs are practically atrophied, by comparison with tho de velopment of the sense among tho beasts of tho wild.

Dog- gedlj' ho followed the faint spoor, pausing by da onl to eat and giving up with regret at night that he might sleep and refresh himself. Occasionally he passed paitles of savage warriors; but theso he gavo a wide berth, for he was hunting with a purpose that was not to be dis tracted by the minor accidents of tho trnll. ' Theso parties wero of tho collect ing hordes of tho Wazlri and their allies which Basull had scattered his messengers broadcast to summon. They wero matching to a common rendezvous In preparation for an as sault upon the stronghold of Achmot Zek; but to Tarzan they were enemies ho retained no conscious memory of nny friendship for the black men. It was night when he halted outside the palisaded vlllago of the Arab raider. Perched In the branches of a great tree, ho gazed down upon the llfo within the Inclosuro. To this place had the spoor Jed him. His quarry must bo within; but how -was he to find him among so many huts? Tarzan, although cognizant of his mighty powers, realized nlso his limi tations. Ho knew that ho could not successfully cope with great numbers In open battle. He must resort to stealth and(trlckery if he were to suc ceed. Sitting in the safety of his tree, I munching upon tho leg bone of Hortn, the bonr, Tarran waited a favorablo opportunity to enter tho village. For n while ho gnawed nt tho bulgh g round ends pf the large bone, splintering off small pieces between his strong Jaws nnd sucking nt the delicious rhnrrow within; but nil the tlmo ho cast re peated glnnces Into the village. He saw white robed figures nnd half naked blacks; but not once did he see one who resembled the stealer of the gems l'ntlently he waited until the streets were deserted by nil save tho sentries at tho gates, then he dropped lightly to tho Ground, circled to the opposite palisade Xt his side hung a long, rawhldo rope a natural and more dependible evolution from the grass rope of his childhood.

Once at the top, It required but a moment to gather tho dangling rope once more into Its colls, make it fast again -at his waist, tako a quick glance down ward within the palisade and, assured that no one lurked directly beneath him, dropped softly to tho ground. Now ho wns within tho village. Before him stretched a series of tents and natlvo huts. Tho business of ex ploring each of them would be fraught with" danger; but danger was only a natural factor of each day's life It nover appalled Taizan. Tho chances appealed to him the chancts of llfo and death, with his prowess and his faculties pitted against those of a wot thy antagonist. It was not necessaiy that ho entor each habitation 'through a door, a window, or an open chink his noso told him whether or not his prey lay within.
