. t The Nightmare
rpiiE blacks of the village of
Mbonga, the chief, 'were fcast-
Lrf Insr. while above them in a lareo
ij. 5 tree sat Tarzan of the Apes grim,
, terrible, empty, and envious. Hunt
ing ha'd proved poor that day, for
there are lean days ns well as fat
ones for even the greatest of the
Jungle hunters. Oftentimes Tarzan
went empty for more than a full
sun, and he had passed through
entire moons during which he had
Seen but barely able to stave off
starvation; but such times vero in
frequent. What he was at this moment was
a very hungry wild beast whom
caution was holding in leash, for
hi; great cooking pot in the center
of the village was surrounded by
black warriors, thiough whom not
even Tarzan of the Apes might hope
to pass unharmed. It would be
necessary, therefoie, for the watcher
to remain there hungry until the
blacks had gorged themselves to
stupor, and then, if they had left
nny scrtips, to make the best meal
he could from such; but to the im
patient Tarzan it seemed tnat tne
greedy Gomangani would rather
burst than leave the feast bcfoi c the
last morsel had been devoured, bor
a time they broke the monotony of
eating by executing poitions of a
hunting dance, a maneuver which
sufficiently stimulated digestion to
permit them to fall to once more
with renewed vigor; but with the
consumption of appalling quanti
ties of elephant meat and native
beer they presently became too
loggy for physical exertion of any
sort, some reaching a stage where
they no longer could rise from the
ground, but lay conveniently close
to the great cooking pot, stuffing
themselves into unconsciousness. j
It was well past midnight before,
Tarzan even could begin to sec the
end of the orgy. The blacks were
now falling alseep rapidly; but a
few still persisted. From their
condition Tarzan had no doubt
' that he easily could enter the village
and snatch a handful of meat be
fore their noses; but a handful was
not what he wanted. Nothing less
than a stomachful would allay the
gnawing craving of that gicat
emptiness. He must therefore have
ample time to forage in peace.
At last but a single warrior le
mained true to his ideals an old
fellow whose once wrinkled belly
was now Ss smooth and as tight as
the head of a drum. With evi-
dences of great discomfoit, and even
pain, he would crawl toward the pot
and drag himself slowly to his
knees, from which position he could
reach into the receptacle and seize
, a -piece of meat. Then he would
roll over on his back with a loud j
groan and lie there while he slowly i
forced the food between his teeth
and down into his goiged stomach.
It was evident to Tarzan that
the old fellow would eat until he
died, or until there was no more
'meat. The apg-man shook his head
in disgust. What foul creatures were
these Gomangani? Yet of all the
jungle folk they alone resembled
Tarzan closely in form. Tarzan was
a man, and they, too, must be some
manner of men, just as the little
monkeys, and the great apes and
Bolgani the gorilla, were quite evi
dently of one great family, though
differing in size and appearance and bay the moss-grown cabin that
customs. Tarzan was ashamed, for wjth its contents was the sole heri
of all the beasts of the jungle, then, , tage ieft by his dead and unknown
man was the most disgusting man father to the young Lord Grcy
and Dango, the hyena. Only man j stoke ?
and Dango ate until they swelled up
like a dead rat. Tarzan had seen
Dango eat his way into the carcass
of a dead elephant and then con
tinue to eat so much that he had
been unable to get out of the hole
through which he had entered. Now
he could readily believe that man,
given the oppoitunity, would do the
same. Man, too, was the most un
lovely of creatures with his skinny
legs and his big stomach, his filed
teeth, and his thick, red lips. Man
was disgusting. Tarzan's gaze was
riveted upon the hideous old war
rior wallowing in filth beneath him.
There! the thing was struggling
to its knees to reach for another
morsel of flesh. It groaned aloud in
pain and yet it persisted in eating,

endure it no longer neither his
hunger nor his disgust. Silently he
Slipped to the ground with the bole
of the great tree between himself
snd the feaster.
The man was still kneeling, bent
almost double in agony, before the
cooking pot. His back was toward
the ape-man. Swiftly and noise
lessly Tarzan approached him.
There was no sound as steel fingers
closed about the black throat. The
struggle was short, for the man
was old and already half stupefied
from the effects of the gorging and
, the beer.

fore a roaring blaze; but tonight
he squirmed and twisted, for at the
pit of his stomach was a peculiar
feeling that resembled nothing more
closely than an attempt upon the
part of the fragments of clcphnnt
meat reposing there to come out into
the night and search for their ele
phant; but Tarzan was- adamant.
He gritted his tcetn and held them
back. He was not to bo lobbed of
his meal after waiting so long to
obtain it.
He had succeeded in dozing when
the roaring of a lion awoke him. He
sat up to discover that it was broad
daylight. Tarzan rubbed his eyes.
Lould it be that ho had really slept?
He did not feel particularly re
freshed as he should have after a
good ricep. A noise attracted his
attention, and he looked down to see
the lion standing at the foot of the
tree gazing hungrily at him. Tar
zan made a face at the king of
beasts, whereat Nuraa, gicatly to
the ape-man's surprise, started to
climb up into the branches toward
him. Now, never before had Tarzan
seen a lion climb a tree, yet, for.
some unaccountable reason, he was
not greatly suipnsed that this par
ticular lion should do so.
As the lion climbed slowly to-
, ward him, Tarzan sought higher
J brunches; but to his chagrin, he dis
covered that it was with the utmost
difficulty that he could climb at all.
Again and again he slipped back,
losing all that he hail .gained, while
the lion kept steadily at his climb
ing, coming ever closer and closer
to the ape-man. Tarzan could sec
the hungry light in the yellow
green eyes. He could see the slaver
on the drooping jowls, and the great
fangs agape to seize and destroy
him. Clawing desperately, the ape-
man at last succeeded in gaining a
little upon his pursuer. He reached
the more slender branches far aloft
wheie he well knew no lion could
follow, yet on and on came devil-
. faced Numa. It was incredible; but
lt was true. "i ct what most amazed
Taizan was that though he realized
the incredibility of it all, he at the
same time accepted it as- a matter of
course, first that a lion should climb
at all and second that he should
enter the upper terraces where even
Sheets, the ' panther, dared not
venture.
To the very top of a tall tree the
ape-man clawed his awkward way
and after him came Numa, the lion,
moaning dismally. At last Tarzan
stood balanced upon the very ut
most pinnacle of a swaying branch,
high above the forest. He could go
no farther. Below him the lion
came steadily upward, and Tarzan
of the Apes realized that at last the
end had come. He could not do
battle upon a tiny branch with
Numa, the lion, especially with such
a Numa, to which swaying branches
two hundied feet above the ground
provided as substantial footing as
the ground itself.
Nearer and nearer came the lion.
Another moment and he could reach
up with one great paw and drag the
ape-man downward to those awful
jaws. A whirring noise above his
head caused Tarzan to glance appre
hensively upward. A great biid was
cii cling close above him. He never
had seen so large a bird in all his
life, yet he recognized it imme
diately, for had he not seen it hun
dreds of times in one of the books
in the little cabin by the land-locked
In the picture-book the great bird
was shown flying far above the
ground with a small child in its
talons while, beneath, a distracted
mother stood with uplifted hands.
The lion was already leaching forth
a taldned paw to seize him when the
bird swooped and buried no less
formidable talons in Tarzan's back.
The pain was numbing; but it was

man felt himself snatched from the
clutches of Numa.
With a great whirring of wings
the bird lose rapidly until the for
est lay far belowr It made Tarzan
sick and dizzy to look down upon it
from so great a height, so he closed
his eyes and held his breath. Higher
.... ...... . ...
and higher climbed the huge bird
Tarzan opened his eyes. The jungle
was so far away that he could see
only a dim, green blur below him,
but just above and quite close was
the sun. Tarzan reached out his
hands and warmed them, for they
were very cold. Then a sudden
madness seized him. Where was the
bird taking him? Was he to sub
mit thus passively to a feathered
creature .however enormous? Was
he, Tarzan of the Apes, mighty
fighter, to die without striking a
blow in his own defense? Never!
He snatched the hunting blade
from his gee-string and thrusting
upward drove it once, twice, thrice
into the breast above him. The
mighty wings fluttered a few more
times, spasmodically, the talons re
laxed their hold, and Tarzan of the
Apes fell hurtling downward to
ward the distant jungle.
It seemed to the ape-man that he
fell for many minutes before he
crashed through the leafy verdure of
the tree tops. The smaller branches
broke his fall, So that he came to
rest for an instant upon the very
branch upon which he had sought
slumber the previous night For an
instant he toppled there in a frantic
attempt to regain his equilibrium;
hat at last he rolled off, yet, clutch
ing wildly, he succeeded in grasping
the branch and hanging on.
Once more he opened his eyes,
which he had closed during the fall.
Aealn it was- night. With all his

lie snatched the hunting
crotch from which he had toppled.
Below him a lion roared, and, look
ing downward, Tarzan could see the
yellow-green eyes shining in the
moonlight as they boicd hungrily
upward through the darkness of the
jungle night towaid him.
The ape-man gasped for breath.
Cold sweat stood out from every
pore, there was a great sickness at
the pit of Tarzan's stomach. Tar
zan of the Apes had dreamed his
first dicam.
For a long time he sat watching
for Numa to climb into the tree
after him, and listening for the
sound of the gr6at wings from
above, for to Tarzan of the Apes his
dieam was a reality.
it
He could not believe what he had
seen nnd yet, having seen even
these incredible things, he could not
disbeliee the evidence of his own
perceptions. Never in all his life
had Tarzan's senses deceived him
badly, and so, naturally, he had
great faith in them. Each percep
tion which ever had been transmit
ted to Tarzan's brain had been, w ith
varying accuracy, a true perception.
He could not conceive of the possi
bility of apparently having passed
through such a weird adventure in
which there was no grain of truth.

cayed elephant flesh, a lion roaring
in the jungle, a picture-book, and
sleep could have so truly portrayed

knew that Numa could not climb a
tree, he knew that there existed in
the jungle no such bird as he had
seen, and he knew, too, that he
could not have fallen a tiny fraction
of the distance he had hurtled down
ward, and lived.
To say the least, he was a very
puzzled Tarzan as he tried to com
pose himself once more for slumber
a very puzzled and a very nau
seated Tarzan.
As he thought deeply upon the
strange occurrences of the night, he
witnessed another "remarkable hap
pening. It was indeed quite pre
posterous, yet he saw it all with his
own eyes it was nothing less than
Histah, the snake, wreathing his
sinuous and slimy way up the bole
of the tree below him Histah, with
the head of the old man Tarzan had
shoved into the cooking pot the
head and the round, tight, black,
distended stomach. As the old
man's frightful face, with upturned
eyes, set and glassy, came close to
Tarzan, the jaws opened to seize
him. The ape-man struck furiously
at the hideous face and as he struck
the apparition disappeared.
Tarzan sat straight up upon his
branch trembling in every limb,
wide-eyed and panting. He looked
all around him with his keen,
jungle-trained eyes, but he ' saw
naught of the old man with the
body of Histah, the snje, but on
his naked thigh the ape-man saw a
caterpillar, dropped from a branch
above him. With a grimace he flicked
it off into the darkness beneath.
And so the night wore on, dream
following dfeam, nightmare follow
ing nightmare, until the distracted
ape-man started like a frightened
deer at the rustling of the wind in
the trees about him, or leaped to his
feet as the. uncanny laugh pi a
hyena burst suddenly upon a

blade and, thrusting upward, drove it
last the tardy morning broke and a
sick and feverish Tarzan wound
sluggishly thiough the dank and
gloomy mazes of the forest in search
of water. His whole body seemed
on fire, a great sickness surged up
waid to his throat. He saw a tangle
of almost impenetrable thicket and,
like the wild beast he was, he
crawled into it to die alone and un
seen, safe from the attacks of pred
atory carnivora.
But he did not die. For a long
time he wanted to; but presently
nature and an outraged stomach re
lieved themselves in their own
therapeutic manner, the ape-man
broke into a violent perspiration and
then fell into a normal and un
troubled sleep which persisted well
into the afternoon. When he awoke
he found himself weak, but no
longer sfek.
Once more he sought water, and
after drinking deeply, took his way
slowly toward the cabin by the sea.
In times of loneliness and trouble,
it had long been his custom to seek
there the quiet and vestfulness
which he could find nowhere else.
As he approached the cabin and
raised the crude latch which his
father had fashioned so many years
Deiore, two small, blood-shot eyes
watched him fiom the concealing
foliage of the jungle close by. From
beneath shaggy, beetling brows
they glared maliciously upon him,
maliciously and with a keen curi
osity; then Tarzan entered the cabin
and closed the door after him. Here,
with all the world shut out from him,
he could dream without fear of in
terruption. He could curl up and
look at the pictures in the strange
things which were books, he could
puzzle out the printed word he had
learned to read without knowledge
of the spoken language it repre
sented, he could live in a wonder
ful world of which he had no knowl
edge beyond the covers of his be
loved books. Numa and Sabor
might prowl about close to him, the
elements might rage in all their
fury; but here at least Tarzan
might be entirely off his guard in a
delightful relaxation which gave him
all his faculties for the uninter
rupted pursuit of this greatest of
all his pleasures.
But the more he thought upon the
matter the less positive he was .as
to the verity of the seeming adven
ture through which he had passed,
yet where the real had ceased and
the unreal commenced he was quite
unable to determine. Had he really
then been to the village of the blacks
at all, had he killed the old Goman
gani, had he eaten of the elephant
meat, had he been sick? Tarzan
scratched his tousled black head and
wondered. It was all very strange,
yet he knew that he never had seen
Numa climb a tree, or Histah with
the head and belly of an old black
man whom Tarzan already had
slain.
Finally, with a sigh he gave up
trying to fathom the unfathomable,
yet in his heart of hearts he knew
that something had come into his
life that he never before had
experienced, another life which
existed when he slept and the con
sciousness of which was carried over
into his walking hours.
Then he commenced to wonder if
some of these, strange creatures
which he met in his sleep might not
curb iRrzan
into the breast aboie him
of the Apes seemed to be a different
Tarzan, sluggish, helpless and timid
wishing to flee his enemies as fled
Bara, the deer, most fearful of
creatures.
Thus, with a dieam, came the first
faint tinge of a knowledge of fear,
a knowledge which Tarzan, awake,
had never experienced, and perhaps
he was experiencing what his early
forebears passed through and trans
mitted to posterity; in the form of
superstition first and religion later;
for they, as Tarzan, had seen things
at night which they could not ex
plain by the daylight standards of
sense perception or of reason, and
so had built for themselves a weird
explanation which included gro
tesque shapes, possessed of strange
and uncanny powers, to whom they
finally came to attribute all those
inexplicable phenomena of nature
which with each recurrenco filled
them with awe, with Wonder, or with
terror.
And as Tarzan concentrated his

mind on the little bugs upon tho
printed page before him, the active
recollection of his strange adven
tures presently merged into the text
of that which ho was reading a
story of Bolgani, tho gorilla, in cap
tivity. There was a mo'rc or less
lifelike illustration of Bolgani in
colors and in a cage, with many re
markable looking Tnrmangani stand
ing against a rail and peering curi
ously at the snarling brute. Tar
zan wondered not a little, as he al
ways did, at the odd and seomingly
useless array of colored plumage
which covered the bodies of the
Tarmangani. It always caused him
to grin a trifle when he looked at
theso strange creatures. He won
dered if they so covered their bodies
from shame of their hairlcssncss or
because they thought the odd things
they wore added any to tho beauty
of their appearance. Particularly
was Tarzan amused by the gro
tesque headdresses of the' pictured-
people. He wondered how some of
the shes succeeded in balancing
theirs in an upright position, and he
came as near to laughing aloud as
he ever had, as he contemplated the
funny little round things upon the
heads of the hcs. ,
Slowly the ape-man picked out the
meaning of the various combinations
of letters on the printed page, and
as he read, the little bugs, for as
such he always thought of the let
ters, commenced to run about in a
most confusing manner, blurring his
vision and befuddling his thoughts.
Twice he brushed the back of a hand
smartly across his eyes; but only
for a moment could be bring the
bugs back to coherent and intelli
gible form. He had slept ill the
night before and now he was ex
hausted from loss of sleep, from
sickness, 'and from the slight fever
he had had, so that it became more
and more difficult to fix his atten
tion, or to keep his eyes open.
Tarzan realized that he was fall
ing asleep, and just as the realiza
tion was borne in upon him and he
had decided to relinquish himself to
an inclination which had assumed
almost the proportions of a physical
pain, he was aroused by the opening
of the cabin door. Turning quickly
toward the interruption Tarzan was
amazed, for a moment, to see bulk
ing large in the doorway the huge
and hairy form of Bolgani, the
gorilla.
Now there was scarcely a denizen
of the great jungle with whom Tar
zan would rather not have been
cooped up inside the small cabin
than Bolgani, the gorilla, yet he felt
no fear, even though his quick eye
noted that Bolgani was in the throes
of that jungle madness which seizes
upon so many of the fiercer males.
Ordinarily the huge gorillas avoid
conflict, hide themselves from the
other jungle folk, and are generally
the best of neighbors; but when they
arc attacked, or the madness seizes
them, there is no jungle denizen so
bold and fierce as to deliberately
seek a quarrel with them.
But for Tarzan there was no
escape. Bolgani was glowering at
him from red-rimmed, wicked eyes.
In a moment he would rush in and
seize the ape-man. Tarzan reached
for the hunting knrfe where he had
lain it on the table beside him; but
as his fingers djd not immediately
locate the weapon, he turned a
quick glance in search of it. As he

did so his eyes fell upon tho book
he had been looking at which still
lay open at the picture of Bolgani.
Tarzan found his knife, but he
merely fingered it Idly and grinned
in tho directfon, -of the advancing
gorilla. 4
Not again would he be fooled by
empty things which came while he
slept! In a moment, no doubt, Bol
gani would turn Into Pamba, the
rat, with the head of Tantor, tho
elephant. Tarzan had seen enough
of such strange happenings recently
to have some idea as to what he
might expect; but this timo Bol
gani did not alter his form as he
came slowly, toward the young ape-
man.
Tarzan was a bit puzzled too. that
.he felt no desire to rush frantically
to some place of safety, as had
been the sensation most conspicuous
in tho other, of his new and remark-
fable adventures. He was just him
self now, ready to fight, if neces
sary; but still sure that no flesh and
blood gorilla stood before him.
The thing should be fading away
into thin air by now, thought Tar
zan, or changing into something
else; yet it did not. Instead it
loomed clear-cut and real as Hol
gani himself, the magnificent dark
coat glistening with life and health
in a bar of sunlight which shot
across the cabin through the high
window behind tho young Lord
Greystbke. This was quite the'
most realistic of his sleep adven
tures, thought Tarzon, as he pas
sively awaited the next amusing in
cident. And then the gorilla charged.
Two mighty, calloused hands seized
upon the ape-man, great fangs were
bared close to his face, a hideous
growl burst from the cavernous
throat and hot breath fanned Tar
zan's cheek, and still he sat grinning
at the apparition. Tarzan might be
fooled once or twice, but not for so
many times in succession! He knew
that this Bolgani was no real Bol
gani, for had he been he never could
have gained entrance to the cabin,
since only Tarzan kr&w how to op
erate the latch.
The gorilla seemed puzzled by the
strange passivity of the" hairless ape.
He paused an instant with his jaws
snarling close to the other's throat,
then he seemed suddenly to come to
some decision. Whirling the ape
man across a . hairy shoulder, as
easily asyu or I might lift a babe
in arms, Bolgani turned and' dashed
out into the open, racing toward the
great trees.
Now, indeed, "was Tarzan sure
that this was a sleep adventure, and
so grinned, largely as the giant go
rilla bore him, unresisting, away.
Presently, reasoned Tarzan, he
would awaken and find himself back
in the cabin where he had fallen
asleep. He glanced back at the
thought and saw the cabin door
standing wide open. This would
never do! Always had he been care
ful to close and latch it against
wild intruders. Manu, the monkey,
would make sad havoc among Tar
zan's treasures should he have ac
cess to, the interior for even a few
minutes. The question which arose
in Tarzan's mind was a baffling one.
Where did sleep adventures end and
leality commence? ,How was he
to be sure that the cabin door was
not really open? Everything about

hlrrf appeared quite normal there
were none of the grotesque exag
gerations of his former sleep adven
tures. It would be better then to.
be upon the safe sido and make sure
that tho cabin door was closed It
would do no harm even if all that
seemed to be happening were not
happening at all.
Tarzan essayed to slip from Bol
gani's shoulder; but the great beast
only growled ominbusly and gripped
him tighter. With a mighty effort
the ape-man wrenched himself loose.
and as he slid to the ground, the $
dream gorilla turned ferociously 1
upon him, seized him once more and .
buried great fangs in a sleek; brown
shoulder. ' I
The grin of derision faded from
Tarzan's lips as the pain and tho
hot blood aroused his fighting in
stincts. Asleep or awake, this thing .
was no longer a joke! Biting, tear-j-i
ing nnd snarling; the two rolled
over upon the ground. The gorilla
now was frantic with insane rage.
Again and again he loosed his hold
upon the ape-man's shoulder in an
attempt to seize "the jugular; but
Tarzan of tho Apes had fought bin
fore with creatures who struck first
for thevital vein, (and each time ho
wriggled out of harm's wajj as ha
strove to get his fingers upon his
adversary's throat. At last he suc
ceeded his great muscles tensed
and knotted beneath his smooth hido-
as he forced with every ounce of his
mighty strength to push the hairy
torso from him. And as he choked
Bolgani and strained him away, his
other hand crept slowly upward be
tween them until the point of tho
hunting knife i rested over tho sav
age heart there was a quick move
ment of the steel-thewed wrist and -the
blade plunged to its goal.
Bolgani, the gorilla, voiced a
smgle frightful shriek, tore himself
loose from the grasp of the ape
man, rose to his feet, staggered a
few steps and then plunged to earth.
There were a few spasmodic move
ments of the limbs and the brute
was still.
Tarzan of the Apes stood looking
down upon his kill, and as he stood
there he ran his fingers through his
thick, black shock of hair. Presently
he stooped and touched the dead
body. Some of the red life-blood
of the gorilla crimsoned his fingers.
He raised them to his nose and
sniffed. Then he shook his head
and turned toward the. cabin. The
door was still open. He closed it
and fastened the latch. Returning
toward the body of his kill he again
paused and scratched his head.
If this was a sleep adventure,
what then was reality? How was
he to know the one from the other?
How much of all that, had happened
in his life had been real and how
much unreal?
He placed a foot upon the pros
trate form and raising his face to
the heavens gave voice to the kill
cry of the bull ape. Far in the
distance a lion answered. It Was
very real and, yet, he did not know.
Puzzled, he turned away into the
jungle.
No, he did not kjiow what was
real and what was not; but there
was one thing that he did know
never again would he eat of tho
flesh of Tantor, the elephant
