remain where the angered Es-Mt might
lay hands upon her.
. When she had gained the sunimlt,
the girl moved quickly through the
darkness In the direction of the next
gorge which cut the mountainside a
mile beyond Kor-ul-ja. It was tho
Gorgcof.water, Kor-uMul, to which
her father and two brothers had been
sent by Es-sat ostensibly to spy upon
the nelnhborins tribe. Th .
chance, a slender chance, that she might
mm mem , u not tnero was the deserted
Kor-ul-gryf several miles beyond,
where she might hide Indefinitely from
man If she could elude the frightful
monster from which the gorge derived
Its name and whose presence there had
rendered Its eftves uninhabitable for
generations.
Pan-at-lee crent stealthily nlnntr thn
rim of tho Kor-ul-luj. just whcrohcr
miner and brothers would watch she
did not know. Sometimes their spies
remained upon the rim, sometimes they
watched from the gorge's bottom. Pan-at-lee
was at n loss to know what to
do dr where to go. Hho felt very small
and helpless alone in the vast darkness
of the night. Strange noises fell upon
her cars. They came from the lonoly
reaches of tho towcrlnt: mountains
nbovo her, from far" away In the In
visible valley and from the nenrer foot
hills and once, In the distance, she
heard what she thought was the bellow
of a bull gryf. It came from the direc
tion of the Kor-ul-gryf. She shud
dered. Presently there came to her keen cars
another sound. Something approached
her along the rim of tho gorge. It waa
coming from above. She halted,
listening. Perhaps it was her father,
or a brother. It was coming closer.
Sho strained her eyes through the
darkness. She did not move sue
scarcely breathed. And then, of n eud
don, quite clo.se it seemed, there blnzod
through the black night two ji'llow
grcen spots of tire.
Pun-nt-lee wan brave, but as always
with tho primitive, the durkness held
infinite terrors for her. Not alone the
terrors of tho known but more fright
ful ones as well those of the un
known. She had passed through much
this night and her nerves were keyed
to the highest pitch raw, taut nerves,
they were, ready to react in an exag
gerated form to the slightest shock.
But this was no slight shock. To
hope for a father and a brother and
to see death Instead glaring out of the
darkness 1 Yes, Pan-at-lee was bravo,
but she was not of Iron. With a shriek
that reverberated among the hills she
turned and lied along the rim of Kor-ul-lul
and behind her, swiftly, cainc the
devil-eyed Hon of the mountains of
Pnl-ul-don.
Pan-at-lec was lost. Death was in-
evitanie. ui this there could be no
doubt, but to die beneath the rending
fangs of tho carnivore, congenital ter
ror of her Wind it was unthinkable.
Itut there was an alternative. The
Hon was almost upon her another in
ttant and he would seize her. Pan -at -leo
turned sharply to her left. Just a
few steps she took In the new direction
before she disappeared over the rim of
Kor-ul-lul. The baffled Hon, planting
all four feet, barely stopped upon the
verge of the abyss. Glaring down into
the black shadows beneath he mouthed
an angry roar.
Through the darkness at the bottom
of Kor-ul-Ja, Om-at led the war
toward the caves of bis people. Bchina
him came Tarzan and Tn-dcn. Pres
ently they halted beneath a great tiec
that grew close to the cliff.
"First," whispered Om-ut, "I will
go to the cave of Pan-at-lee. Then
will I peek the cave of my ancestors
to have speech with my own blood. Jt
will not take long. Wait here I shall
return hoon. Afterward shall we go
together to Ta-den's people."
He moved silently toward the foot
of the cliff up which Tarzan could
presently see him adccr.dlng like a
great fly on a wall. In the dim light
tho ape-man could not see the pegs set
in tho face of the cliff. Om-at moved
warily. In the lower tier of caves
there should be a sentry. His knowl
edge of his people and their customs
told him, however, that in all proba
bility the sentry was asleep. In this
he was not mistaken, yet he did not
In any way abate his wariness. Smooth
ly and swiftly he ascended toward the
cave of Pan-at-lee while from below
Tarzan and Ta-den watched him.
"How docs he do it?" asked Tarzan.
"I con fcce no foothold upon that
vertical surface and yet ho appears to
be climbing with the utmost case."
Ta-den explained the stairway of
pegs, "xou could ascend cafiiy, ne
said, "ai though a tan wouia do 01 great
assistance."
They watched until Ora-nt was about
to enter the cave of Pnn-nt-lco without
seeing any indication that he had been
observed nnd then, simultaneously,
both saw a head appear ln the mouth
of ono of the lower caves. It was
quickly evident that its owner had dis
covered Om-at, for Immediately he
Htarted upward in pursuit. Without a
word Tarzan nnd Ta-den sprang for
ward toward the foot of the cliff. The
pithecanthropus was the first to reach
It nnd the ape-man &aw him spring up
wnrd for a handhold on the lowest peg
above him. Now Tarzan suw other pegs
roughly paralleling each other in zigzag
rows up the cliff face. He sprang nnd
caught one of these, pulled himself up
ward by one hand until he could reach
a second with his othor hand ; and when
ho had ascended far enough to u?e his
feet, discovered that he could mnke
rapid progress. Ta-den was outstrip
ping him, however, for these precarious
ladders were no novelty to him njid,
further, he hnd an advantage in pos
sessing a tail.
Nevertheless, the ape-man gave u
good account of himself, being presently
urged to redoubled efforts by the fact
that the Wax-don above Ta-den glanced
down nnd discovered his pursuers Just
before the Ho-don overtook him. In
stantly a wild cry shnttered the sllcnco
of the gorge a cry that was Irame.
dlately unswered by hundreds of savogc
throats as warrior after warrior
emerged from the entrance to his cave.
The creature who had raised the
ninrm had now reached the recess be-
foro Pan-at-lces cave nnn nerc no
halted and turned to give battle to Ta
den. Unsllnglng his club which had
hung down his back from a thong about
bin neck ho stood upon the level floor
nf the entrance-way, effectually block
ing Ta-den's ascent. From all direc
tions tho warriors of Kor-ul-ja were
swarming toward tho interlopers. Tar
zan, who had reached n point on tht
same level with Ta-den hut a little to
the latter's left, saw that nothing short
of 0 miracle could save them. Just
at tho ape-man's left was the entrance
to a cave that cither was deserted or
whose occupants had not as yet been
aroused, for tiie levei recess lemmaou
unoccupied. Resourceful was the alert
mind of Tarzan of the Apes and quick
to respond were the trained muclea.
In the time that you or I might give
to debating an action he would nccQin
pllsh It and now, though only seconds
separated his nearest antagonist from
him, In the brief span of time nt his
disposal he had stepped In o the recess,
unslung his long ropo nnd leaning fnr
out shot the sinuous noose, with the
precision of long habitude, toward the
menacing figure wielding Ita heavy club
above Ta-den. il
