CHArTER IX-(Continued rPIIE Arab passed beneath tho over- hanging bough; there wus a slight l rustling of the leaves above and the horse snorted nnd plunged as n brown- t akinned creature dropped upon Its rump. A pair of mighty ormi encir cled the Arab and he was dragged from his saddle to the trail. Ten minutes later the nre-man, I carrying the outer garments of an Arab bundled beneath an arm, ro- , joined his companions. He exhibited Jils trophies to them, explaining ln low gutturals the detail of his exploit Chulk and Taglat fingered '.he fabrics smelled nnd tasted them, and then. Vlaclng them to their ears, tried to listen to them. Then Tarzan led trcm back through the Jungle to the trail, where tho three hid themselves nnd walled. Nor had they long to wait beroro two of Ach mat Zek's blacks, clothed, in bill ments similar to their mister's, came down the trail on foot, returning to the camp. One moment they were laughing and talking together the next they lay stretched In death upon tho trail, three mighty engines of destruction bending over them. Tarzan removed their outergarments as he had remov d those of his first victim, and again retired with Chulk and Taglat to the jrreater seclusion of tho tree they had first selected. Here the ape-man arranged the gar ments upon his shaggy fellows and himself, until, at a distance, it might have appeared that three white-robed Arabs (squatted silently among the branches of the forest. Until dark they remained where they were, for from his point of vant age Tarzan could view tho Inclosuro Within tho palisade. He marked the position of the hut in which ho had first discovered the scent-spoor of the one he sought. He saw tho two sen trie standing before its doorway, and ho located the habitation of Aehmet Zek where something told him he wouia most likely And his missing pouch and pebbles. Chulk and Taglat were, at first, crtatly interested In their wonderful , raiment. They fingered the fabric, melled of It. and regarded ono an other Intently with every murk of sat isfaction and pride. Chulk, a humor- their expedition that it had been dlf- j "And you disturbed me thus to tell the village of the raiders the Abyssin 1st ln his way, stretched forth a long ficult for Taglat to hold his Idea up-'me what any fool might know?" he atl3 camped but a few miles to the and hairy arm, and, grasping the permost In IiIr mind, and on several said.

The older ape, pessimistic by nature, recognized no such, thing as humor. Creatures laid their paws upon hltn tor but two things to search for tloas end to attack. The pulling of tho tar-niangani-scented thing about his head and eyes could not be for the perform ance of the former act; therefore It must be the latter. He was attacked! Chulk had attacked hltn. With a snarl he was at the other's throat, n3t even waiting to lift the woolen veil which obscured his vision.
