questioned him further, but now no wni
approaching the Tor-o-don and the lnt
tor was screaming nnd growling so loud
ly as to drown the sound of her voieo.
And then It did what the strange crea
ture vhnd said that It would do It
released Its hold upon her hair as it
prepared to charge Charge It did and
in those closo quarters there was no
room to fence for openings. Instantly
tho two bentta loeked In deadlv cm.
brace, each Reeking tho other's throat.
I'an-at-lco watched, taking no advan
tage of the opportunity to escape which
their preoccupation gave her. She
watched and waited, for into her
savage little brain had come the resolve
to pin her faith to this strange creaturo
who had unlocked hor heart with thoso
four words "I am Om-at's friend 1"
And so she waited, with drown knife,
tho opportunity to do her bit In the
vanquishing of tho Tor-o-don. Thnt
the newcomer could do It unaided aho
well knew to be beyond the realms of
possibility, for she knew well the
prowess of the beast-like man with
whom it fought. There wero not many
of them In ral-ul-don, but what few
tbcro were wero a terror to the women
of the War-don and the Ho -don, for
tho o)d Tor-o-don bulls roamed the
mountains and the vallem nt Pal-ul-
don between rutting seasons and woo
betide the women who fell Into their
paths.
With his tall the Tor-o-don sought
one of Tartan's ankles, and finding It,
tripped him. The two fell heavily, but
so agile- was the ape-man and so quick
his powerful muscles that even in fall
ing ho twisted tho boast beneath him,
so that Tarzan fell on ton and now the
tall that had tripped him sought his
throat as had the tail of In-tan, tho
Kor-ul-lul.
In tho effort of turning his antago
nist's body during tho fall Tarzan had
had to relinquish his knife that ho might
seize tho Shnggy body with both hands,
nnd now the weapon lny out of rench
nt tho very edgo of tho roccss. Uoth
handa wero occupied for tho mament lit

Bought to Eelze him nnd tiro? hl3 throat
within reach of his foe's formidable
fanss and now thn (nil wnn uppklnt- Its
deadly hold with a formidable persist
ence mat would not be ucnieu.
Pan-at-lco hovored nbout, breathless,
her dagger ready, but theni was no
oponing that did not also endanger Tar
zan, so constantly were tho two duelists
changing their positions. Tarzan felt
tho tall slowly but surely insinuating
itself about his neck, though he had
drawn his head down between tho mus
cles of his shoulders in an effort to pro
tect this vulnernblo part. The battle
seemed to bo going agnlnst him, for
the giant bpast against which ho strove
wouki havo been a fair match in weight
nnd strength for Bolgani. tho gorilla.
And knowing this, ho suddenly exerted
a einflo superhuman effort, thrust far
npart tho giant hands nnd with the
swiftness of a striking snake buried his
tangs in tho jugular of the Tor-o-don.
At tho same instant tho creature's tail
coiled about his own throat and then
commenced a battle royal of turning
nnd twistinff bodies as each Bought to
dlslodgo tho fatal hold of the other, but
tho acts of tho ape-man were guided by
a human brain and thus it'wns that the
rolling bodies rolled In tho direction that
Tarzan wished toward tho edge ot the
recess.
Tho choking tail had shut the nir
from his lungs, he know that his grasp
ing llpa wero parted ond bin tongue
protruding; and now His brnln reelnl
nnd his sight drew dim; but not before
he reached his coal and n (mirk lmml
shot out to seize tho Imifo that now
lay within reach ns tho two bodies tot-
tored perilously unon tho brink nt tu
chasm. .
With all his remaining strength the
ape-man drovo home thn lilnrii . our
twice, thrlco, nnd then nil went black
beforo him as ho felt hlmbclf, still in
tho clutches of tho Tor-o-don, topple
from tho roccss.
Fortunate it was for Tarzan that
Pan-at-lce had not obeyed his injunc
tion to mnko good her escnpp while he
encaged tho Tor-o-don, for It was to
this fact that ho owed his life. Ciotc be

brief moments of tho terrlfl" climax she
had realized every detail of the danger

was fraught, and as she saw tho two
dolling over tho outer edgo of the niche
hho seized tho ape-man by an anklo ut
tho samo tlmo throwing herself prone
upon tho rocky floor. The muscles of
(ho Tor-o-don relaxed in denth with
the last thrust of Tarzan's knife nnd
with its hold upon the ape-man re

It was with infinito difficulty that
