Now from fho lion's throat roso hideous screams of hato and rago and pain ns ho redoubled his efforts to dls lodgo nnd punish his tormentor; but always the tousled block head remained half buried In tho dark brown mane and tho mighty arm roso nnd fell to plungo the knlfo ngaln and again Into the dying beast. Tho Pnl-ul-doninns stood In muto wonder and admiration. Bravo men and mighty hunters thoy were, nnd as ch tho first to accord honor to a mightier. "And you would have hnd mo slay himl cried Om-nt, glancing nt In-sad nnd O-dan. "Jad-bcn-Otho reward you that you did not," breathed In-sad. And now the lion lunged suddenly to earth nnd with n few spnsmodlc quiver ings ay still. Tho ape-man roso and shook himself, even ns might jn, the eopard-cpatcd Hon of Pnl-ul-don, hnd ho been the one to survive. O-dan advanced quickly toward Tar zan. Placing n palm upon his own breast nnd the. other on Turznn's. "Tarzan the Terrible." ho snld. "I ask no greater honor than your friend ship." 'And I no moro than tho friendship of Om-nt's friends," replied the ape man simply, returning tho other's sa lute. "Do yot think," asked Om-at, com ing close to Tarzan and laying a hand upon tho other's shoulder, "thnt ho got her? "No, my friend ; it was a hungry lion that charged us." "You seem to know much of lions," said In-sad. "Had I n brother I could not know him better," replied Tarzan. "Then where can sho be?" continued Om-nt. , "Wo can but follow while the spoor Is fresh," answered the apo-man, and again taking up hiB Interrupted track ing ho led them down thn riAtrn nml nt .a sharp turning of the trull to the left orougnt them to the verge of the cliff that dropped into tho Kor-ul-lul. For a moment Tarzan examined the ground to tho right nnd to tho left, then he stood trcct nnd looking nt Om-at pointed Into the gorge. For a moment the Wnz-don gazed down Into tho green rift, nt tho bottom of which n tumultuous river tumbled downwnrd along its rocky bed, then he closed his eyes ns to a sudden spasm of pain nnd turned away. "You mean phe jumped?" he nsked. "To cscapo tho lion," replied Tarzan. "Ho was right behind her look, you can fcce where his four paws left their impress in the turf ns he checked his chargo upon the very verge of the abyss." "Is thero any chance " com menced Om-at, to bo suddenly silenced by a warning gesture from Tnrzau. "Down!" whispeicd tho ape-man, "many men nro coming. They nro run ning from down the ridge." He flat tened himself upon his belly in the grnHs, tho others following his example. For some minutes they waited thus nnd then the others, too, heard tho sound of running feet nnd now a hoarso shout followed by many more. "It is tho wnr cry of tho Kor-ul-iul," whispered Om-nt "tho hunting cry of men who hunt men. Presently shall wc so them and If Jad-ben-Otho is pleased! with us they shall not too iirentlv outnumber us." "There nro many," said Tarznnx "forty or fifty, I should say; but hov many are tho pursued nnd how many tho pursuers wo cannot even guess, ex cept that tho latter must greatly out number the former, clHe these would not run bo fast." "Hero they come," said Ta-den. "It is An-un, father of Pan-nt-lee, nnd his two wins," exclaimed O-dun. "They will pass without seeing us if wo do not hurry," he added looking nt Om-at, tho chief, for a sign. "Come!" cried tho latter, springing to his feet nnd running rapidly to In tercept the three fugitives. The others followed him. "Five fiiends!" shouted Om-at as An-un and his sons discovered them. "Adcnen yo!" echoed O'dnn nnd In-Mil. Tho fugitives scarce paused as thew! unexpected rt-cnforcementH loined them, but they eyed Ta-den uud Tarzan with puzzled glances. "The Kor-ul-lul nro ninny," shouted An-un. "Would that wo might pauso nnd tight; but first wc must warn Ls lot and our people." "Yes," said Om-nt, "wo must warn our people." "Wn.nnt in (lend. said Ill-Sad. "Who is chief?" asked one of An un's sons. "Om-at," replied O-dan. "It is well." cried An-un. "Pnn-nt-leo snld that you would como back and slay Fs-bat." Now tho enemy brolio into sight ne hlnd them. "Come!" cried Taran, "let us turn and chargo them, raising h grcnt cry. They pursued but three and when they seo eight chnrglng upon them they will think that many men have come to do butt'e. They will believe thut theio nro moro even than they bco nnd thun ono who Is swift will havo time to reach the gorge and wurn your people. "It is well," sul(T Om-nt. "Id-an, you lire owlft carry word to the war riors of Kor-ul-ja that we light the Kor-ul-lul upon the ridxe uud thnt Ah-on shall send n hundred men." Id-an, the son of An-un, sped swiftly toward tho cliff-dwellings of tho Kor-ul-ja while tuo others ciiiirgeu mu oncoming Kor-ul-lul, the war cries of tin- two tribes rising aud falling in a certoln grim harmony. Tho leaders of tho Kor-ul-lul paused at sight of the ro-cnforccmcnts, waiting apparently for tlioso behind to catch up with them, and, possibly, nlso to learn how great a forco confronted them. The lendcrb, swifter runners than their fellows, per haps, were far in advance, while tho balance of their number hnd not yet emerged from the brush; and now ns Om-nt nnd his companions fell upon thorn with n ferocity born of neces sity they fell back, so that when their companions at hist ctuiio in sight of them they appeared n ho In full rout. Tho natural result was that tho others turned and fled. CONTINUED TOMOnnOW. THE GUMPS 0, Minerva!.
