Ono was a fair she, and It was her face which most often moved through the tangled recollections of his convalescing brain. Who was she? What had sho been to Tarzan of tho Apes?

If the woman belonged there, what hotter placo lo search or await hef than tho very soot which his brokott recollections seemed to assign to her'.' It was worth trying.
