"Here Is one," thought Tarxan,

Won' Driest whom he knew had nl-

With a shrug ho descended the steps

Wfrnl.Otho," he said, "where Lu-don
atttes hla god, for Jnd-ben-Otho can

U-don ungrny, turning upon
previously a friendly interest in the
psuedo godllng.
"It is only a step in the progress to
ward truth," Interjected Lu-don "Pos
sibly the evidence of the only princess
of the house of Ko-tan will have greater
weight with tho i great dilcf from tho
north, though tho father oftji son who
fled tho holy offer of tho priesthood may
not receive with willing ears nny tes
timony against another blasphemer."
Ja-don's hand Icnped to his knlfo,
but the warriors next him laid detain
ing fingers upon his arms, "You aro
In tho temple of Jad-bcn-Otho, Jn
ilon." they cautlonod and the great
chief wa forced to swallow Im-aon's
affront, though It left in his heart bitter
hatred of the high priest.
And now Ko-tan turned toward Lu
don. "What knowcth my daughter of
this matter?" he nsked. "You would
not bring a princess of my house to
testify tints publicly?"
"No," replied Lu-don," not In per
son, but I have hero ono who will
testify for her." Ho beckoned to nn
under prlcRt. "Fetch the slavo of tho
princes," ho said.
His grotesque headdress adding a
touch of the hideous to tho scene, the
nriest stepped forward, dragging the re
luctant Pan-at-lcc by the wrist.
"The Princess O-lo-a was nlonc In
tho Forbidden Garden with but this
ono slave," explained the priest, "when
thnro suddenly nppearcd from the
foliage nearby this crcaturo who claims
to be the Dor-ul-Otho. When tho slave
saw hltn the princess says that she
cried aloud in startled recognition and
called the creature by name Tarzan-Jad-guru
the same name that tho
slavo from Kor-ul-lul gave him. This
woman Is not from Kor-ul-lul but from
Kor-ul-jn, tho very tribe with which
tho Kor-ul-lul says the creature was
associating when he first saw him. And
further tho princess said that when this
woman, whoso name Is Pan-nt-lco, was
brought to her yestenla.v she told a
strange story of hnvlng been rescued
from n Tor-o-don In tlio Kor-ul-gryf
by a creature Ruch ns this, whom she
Bpokc of then as Tarran-jad-guru; and
of how tho two were pursued In the
bottom of tho gorgo by two monster
gryfs, and of how Uie man led them
away while Pan-at-lco escaped, only
to be tnken prisoner in the Kor-ul-lul
as she was seeking to return to her own
tribe.
"Is It not plain now," cried Lu-don,
"that this crcaturo Is no god. Did he
tell you that he was the son of god?"
he almost nhoutcd, turning suddenly
upon i'nn-at-iec.
The girl shrank back terrified. "An
swer me, slave!" dried the high priest.
"He seemed moro than mortal,"
parried Pan-nt-lco.
"Did ho tell you that he was tho
son of god? Answer my question," in
sisted Lu-don.
"No," she admitted in a low voice,
casting nn appealing look of forglvo
ncss at Tarzan who returned a smile
of encouragement and friendship.
"That Is no proof thnt he is not the
sou of god," cried Jn-don. "Dost think
Ja'd-bcn-Otho goes about crying 'I am
god 1 I am god !' Hast ever heard him,
Lu-don? No, jou have not. Why
should his son do that which tho father
docs not do?"
"Enough," cried Lu-don. "Tho evi
dence is clear. The creature Is an Im
postor and I, the head priest of Jad-ben-Otho
In the city of A-lur, do con
demn him to die." There was a mo
ment's silence during which Lu-don
evidently paused for the dramatic effect
of his climax. "And If I nm wrong
may Jnd-ben-Otho pierce my heart with
his lightnings as 1 stnnd here befoio
you all."
The lapping of tho wavelets of the
lake agalribt the foot of the palace wall

almost breathless silence which ensued,

cried, ".invoke tho lightnings of Jad-

"Enough of this," unapped Lu-don.
"Since whon wns Ja-don created high
priest? Heizo the prisoner," he cried
to the priests nnd wurrlois. "nnd on
tho morrow lie shall die In the manner
Hint Jnil-ben-Uthn has willed."
There wns no limn ilintc movement
on thc part of anj ot the warriors to
obey the high priest's command, but
tho lesser priests on tho other hand,
Imbued with tliu courngo of fanaticism,
leaped eagerly forward like a Uock of

The game was up. That Tarzan
knew. No longer could cunning and
diplomacy usurp the functions of the
weapons of defeuso ho best loiod. And
so tho first hideous priest who leaped
to thc platform was confronted bj no
suavo ambassador from heaven, but
rather a grim and ferocious beast whose
temper savored more of hell.
Tlie altar stood closo to tho wostcrn

Lu-dou stood there now behind Tnrzan,

Tho presumptuous one who would

stretched hand to seize tho ape-man.
Instead It wus he who was seized ; seized
by steel fingers that snapped him as
though he hail lieen n dummy or strnw,
grouped him by ono leg and thc harness

nuns high above tho nltar. Closo at
