Ttrxan continued on his way, ful y -..ill. that tho moment was immi nent when the fate of his plan would bo ittlati. Nor had he long to wait, since tt the next turning of the winding street i. ..,. fr to face with a llo-don warrior. He saw tho sudden surprise fa the letter's eyes, followed instantly to one of suspicion, hut before the fel low could speak Tnwon addressed him. "I am n stranger from another id, he saiu: "X wouiu sponn wiui io-Un, your king." The fellow stepped back, laying ms kind upon bis knife. "Thero nro no ttrtngers that come to the gates of A-lur," he said, "other than'as cue bIm or slaves. " '.' come neither as a slave nor an many," replied Tarzan. "I come dl Xtctlj from Jad-ben-Otho. Look!" nnd hi held out his hands that tho ITo-dan Bljht sco how greatly they differed from his own, and then wheeled about that tit other mlrht see that he was tail- leu, for It was upon this fact that bin ilia una oeen Daseu, auo to nis rocoi ectlon of the quarrel between Tn-dcn isd Om-at, in which the Waz-don had tlilmed that .Ted-bcn-Otho had n long till while the Ho-don hnd been equally willing to fight for his fnlth in tho tail JtSKMS of his god. The warrior's eyes widened nnd an npresslon of awo crept Into thorn, though it was still tinged with sus picion. "Jad-ben-Otbo!" lie mur milrhl. and then. "It is true that you in neither llo-don nor Waz-don, nnd Kill also true that Jad-ben-Otho has so toil. Come," ho saiJ. "I will tnke jou to Ko-tan, for this is a matter in tbieh no common warrior may Inter fere. Follow rao," and still clutching tit handle of his knife ana ftcerlnc n vary side glance upon tho npe-uinn he led the way through A-lur. The city covered n large area. Somo time there was a considerable dit- taon between groups of buildings, and again they were quito close together. There were numerous Imposing groups, tridtntly hewn from tho larger hills, often rising to a height of a hundred ft or more. As they advanced they met numerous warriors and women, nil of whom showed great curiosity in tho itranger, but thero was no attonvpt to menace him when it was found that he as being conducted to the pnlaco of the king. They camo at last to a great pile that sprawled over n considerable area, lU western front facing upon a large Hue lake and evidently hewn from what had once been a natural cliff. This group of buildings was surrounded by a wall of considerably greater height tiin any Tarzan had before seen. Ills galde led him to a gatowuy before which waited a dozen or more warriori who had risen to their feet and formed a barrier across the entrnnco-wny in Tanan and his party appeared around corner of the palace wall, for by thji time ho had accumulated such n following of the curious as presented to tho guards the appearance of a formidable mob. The guide's story told, Tarzan was conducted into the courtyard, wheie he was held while one of the warriors entered the palace, evidently with the Intention of notifying Ko-tan. Fifteen a nuics later a large warrior appeared . followed by several others, oil of whom uuninea 'larzan witu every sign ot wnosity as they approached. Tho leader Of tho party hnlted be fore the ape-man. ''Who nro you?" HMktd, "and what do you of Ko-tan, theklng?" I am a friend," replied tho ape Wn, "nnd I havo como from tho coun "7 of Jad-bcn-Otho to visit Ko-tnn of Pal-ul-don." Th warrior nnd his followers necmed japressed.

This tlmo the effect of his words was immediately nnd painfully noticeable upon all thoso near him. With ono ac cord they shrank back, the spokesman almost collapsing in evident terror. His apologies, when flnnlly the paralysis of his fear would permit him to voice them, wero so abject thnt the npe-man could scarce repress a smile of amused con tempt. "Have mercy, 0 Dor-ul-Otho," he pleaded, "on poor old Dnk-lot. Pro redo me and I will show you to whero Ko-tan, tho king, awaits you, trem bling. "Aside, snakes and vermin," he cried, pushing his warriors to right nnd eft for tho purposo of forming an ave nue for Tarzan, "Cornel" crjed tho ape-man peremp torily, "lead tho way, and let theso others follow." i 1T!l?Jnow thoroughly frightened Dak lot did as he wns bid, and Tarzan of the Apes was ushered Into the palace of Ko-tan, King of 1'nl-ul-don.

Stone vessels were much In evi dence ns well as ornnments of gold nnd the skins of many nnlmnls, but nowhere did ho see an Inrilontlnn nt nnv tmun fabric, indicating thnt in thnt respect at least the Ho-don wero still low In tho scnlo of evolution, nnd yet tho pro portions nnd symmetry of the corridors and apartments bespoke a degreo of civilization. Tho way led throueh several nnnrt. ments and long corridors, up at least three flights of stone stairs and finally out upon n ledge upon tho western side of tho building overlooking tho blue ..' ,A,onF tn,s Ic(,Re. or arcade, his guide led him for a hundred yards, to stop at last before a wide cntranco-way lending into another apartment of the palace. Here Tarzan beheld a considerable concourse of warriors in nn enormous npartment. the domed celling of which wns fully fifty feet nbove the floor. Al most filling the chamber wns n crcnt pyramid ascending in broad steps well up under the dome, In which were n number of round npcrturcs which let in the light. Tho steps of the pyramid were occupied by warriors 'to the very pinnacle, upon which sat a large, Im posing figure of n man whose golden trappings shono brightly in the light of the afternoon sun, n shnft of which poured through one of the tiny aper tures of the dome. "Ko-tnn!" cried Dnk-lot. addressing the resplendent figure nt the pinnacle of the pyramid. '"Ko-tan nnd warriors of Pnl-til-don! Behold the honor that .Tad-bcn-Otho has done you in sending as his messenger bis own son," nnd Dnk-lot. stepping aside, indicated Tar zan with a dramatic sweep of his hand. Ko-tnn rose to his feet and evciy warrior within sight craned his neck to have a better view of tho newcomei. Those upon tho opposite side of the pyrnmid crowded to the front as the words of the old warrior reached them. Skeptical were the expressions on most of the faces; but theirs was a skepti cism marked with caution. No matter which way fortnno jumped they wished to bo upon tho right side of tho fenee. For n moment all eyes wero centered upon Tarzan and then gradually tnoy drifted to Ko-tnn, for from his atti tude would thoy rccelvo tho cue that would 'determine theirs. But Ko-tan was evidently in the same quandary as they the very attitude of his body in dicated it it was ono of indecision and of doubt. Tho ape-man stood erect, his arms folded upon his broad breast, an ex pression of haughty disdain upon his hnndsomo face; but to Dak -lot there seemed to bo Indications also of growing anger. The situation was becoming strained. Dak-lot fidgeted, casting ap prehensive glances nt Tarzan nnd np ncallnr ones at Ko-tan. The silence of the tomb wrapped tho great chamber of the throne room ot l'ni-ui-uon. At last Ko-tan spoke. "Who says that he is Dor-ul-Otho?" he asked, casting a terrible look at Dak -lot. "Ho doesl" almost snoutea mat ter rified noblo. "And so It must be true?" queried Ko-tan. Could it bo that there was a trace of irony in tho chief's tone? Otho for bid! Dak-lot cast a side glance nt Tarzan a glance that he intended should carry tho assurance of his own faith; but that succeeded only In Im pressing tho ape-man with the other's pitiable terror. "O Ko-tan!" pleaded Dak-loi, "your own eyes must convlnco you that indeed ho is the son of Otbo. Bohold bis godlike figure, his hands and his feet, that are not as ours, and that he is entirely tailless bb is his mighty father." Ko-tan nppenred to bo perceiving theso facts for tho first timo nnd there was an indication that his skepticism was faltering. At that moment a young warrior who had pushed his way for ward from tho opposite sldo of the pyra mid to whero he could obtain a good look at Tarzan raised his voice. "Ko-tan," ho cried, "it must bo even as Dak-lot soys, for I nm sure now that I havo seen Dor-ul-Otho be fore. Yesterday ns we wero returning with the Kor-ul-lul prisoners wo bo held him seated upon tho back of a great gryf. We hid in the woods before he came too near, but I saw enough to make sure that 'he who rodo upon the great beast was none other than the messenger who stands hero now." This evidence seemed to bo quite cnmich to convince the majority of the warriors that thoy indeed stood in the presence of deity their faces showed it only too plainly, and o sudden modesty that cnused them to shrink behind their neighbors. As their neighbors were at tempting to do the bnme thing, tbo re sult was a sudden molting nwny of thoso who stood nearest the ape-man, until the steps of the pyramid directly be fore him lay vacant to the very apex and to Ko-tnn. Tho latter, possibly in fluenced as much by the fearful atti tude of his followers as by tho cvidencn adduced, now nltered his tone and his manner In such degreo ns might com port with the requirements if the stranger was Indeed the Dor-ul-Otho while leaving his dignity a lopoholo of escape should it appear that he had entertained an impostor. "If Indeed you are tho Dor-ul-Otho," ho said, addressing Tarzan, "you will know that our doubts were but natural since we have received no sign from Jad-ben-Otho that ho In tended honoring us so greatly, nor how could wo know, even, that the Great God had a son? If you aro he, all l'al-ul-don rejoices to honor you ; if you are not ho, swift and tcrnuie sunn uc me punishment of jour temerity. I, Ko tau, King of l'ol-ul-don, have spoken." PGEEtflRLS.
