capped by the necessity for forcing his
way through a 'hostile land.
Ta-den, who had been hunting for
some of the smaller mammals, the meat
of which is especially relished by the
Mo-don, forgot his intended sport in
the greater interest of his new discov
ery. He would take the stranecr to
Om-at nnd possibly together the two
would find some wny of discovering the
true intentions or the newcomer. And
so again through signs he apprised the
other that he would nppompnny him and
together they descended toward the
cliiTs of Om-nt n people.
As they appronched these they came
upon thc women nnd children working
tinder gunrd of the old men nnd the
youths gathering the wild fruits and
herbs which constitute n part of their
met, as wen no tending the small ncres
of growing crops which they cultivate.
The fields iny in smnll level patches
that had been cleared nf trees nnd
brush. Their farm implement consisted
of mctnl-shod poles which bore a closer
resemblnnco to spears thnn to tools of
peaceful agriculture. Supplementing
these were others with flattened blades
thnt were neither linen nor nndp hut
instend possessed the nppenrancc of nn
unhappy attempt to combine the two
Implements in one.
At first sight of these people the
stranger hnlted nnd unslung his bow,

thelr bodies entirely eovered rlh hnlr.
But Tn-den, Interpreting thc doubt In
the other's mind, renssured him with a
gesture and n smile. Thc Waa-don.

berlng (juration in a Innguiigc which the
strnuger discovered his sulile nrulprntnn.l
though It wis entirely unintelligible to
the former. They made no attempt to
inolest him nud he wns now sure thnt
he had fallen among a peaceful and
friendly people.
It was but a short distance now to
the CaVCS. mid When thev renehnt thiwn
Ta-dcn led the wny aloft upon the
wooden pegs, assured thnt this creature
wnom ne nnd discovered would hnvc no
morediaicult.v hi following him than
hau Tarzan the Terrible. Vnr wna h
mistaken, for thc other mounted with
ease until presently thc two stood within
tho recess before the enve nf Ctm.nt- th
.- -. ... HV, ....
The latter was not there nnd It was
miduftcrnoon before ho returned, but In
the meantime mnny wnrrlors enmc to
look upon thc visitor and In each In
stance thc latter wns more thoroughly
impressed with the friendly nnd pence
uble spirit of his hosts, little guessing
thnt he wns being entertnined by a fero
cious nnd warlike tribe who never before
inu coming ot xa-den nnd Tnnnn had
suiTcred a strnngcr among them.
At last Om-at rcturncdniid the guest
sensed Intuitively that he wns In the
presence of a great man nmong these
people, possibly a chief or king, ior not
only did the uttitudc of the other black
warriors indicate this, but it wbh writ
ten nUo In the mien and bearing of the
splendid creature who stood looking nt
him while Tn-tlen explained the cir
cumstances of their meeting. "Aud I
believe, Om-nt," concluded the Ho-don,
that he becks Tnrzan thc Terrible."
1 , ..."A6. B01,ml of tll0t "nine, the first
intelljgible word that had fnllen upon
the enrs of thc strnngcr since he had
come among them, his face lightened.
"Tarzan!" he cried, "Tnraan of the
Apes!" and by signs he tried to tell
mi t,,nt il wns ne whom ho sought.
They understood, and nlso they
?ilc?s?d frora tbe "Pression of his face
'"at he sought Torznn from motives of
5. . Uon rntncr than the reverse, but of
this Om-at wished to make sure.
He pointed to the strungcr's knife,
iind repeating Tnrzan's name, seized
la-den and pretended to stab him, im
mediately turning auestioulngly toward
the Mruugcr.
The latter shook his head vehemently
nnd then first placing a hand above his
heart ho raised his pmm in the symbol
of pence.
'lib is a friend of Tnrznn-jad-guru,"
exclaimed Ta-dcn.
"Either n friend nr n cranf lln. ...
plied Om-at. '
"Tnrzan," continued the stranorcr.
ou know him? He lives? O tiod, If
I could only spenk your language."
And again reverting to sign lungungc
ho sought to ascertain where Tnrzan
WUS. lie would nronounce the nnme
unci point in umerent directions, In the
cave, down Into the gorge, back toward
the mountains, or out upon tho valley
below, nnd each time he would raise
his brows questloningly and voice the
universal -eiw 01 interrogation which
they could not fall to understand. But
always Om-at shook bis head ' and
spread his palms in a gesture which
indlcnted that while he understood the
question be was ignorant as to the
whereabouts ot the ape-man, nnd thon
the black chief nttcninted ns hear hn
might to explain to tho strnngcr what
he Knew of the whereabouts of Tarzan.
He called the newcomer Jar-don,
which in the language of Pnl-ul-don
nienns "strnuger," nnd ho pointed to
the sun nnd snld ns. This he repented
sevcrnl times nnd then he held up one
hand with thc fingers outspread and
touching them one by one, Including
the thumb, repeated thc word adencu
until the stranger understood that he
meant five. Aguln he pointed to tho
sun and describing nn nrc with his
forefinger starting nt the enstern hori
zon nnd terminating nt the western, he
repented ngnln the words as adencn.
It was plain to the stmnger thnt the
words meant thnt the sun hnd crossed
thc heavens five times. In other words,
five days had passed. Om-nt then
pointed to the cave where they stood,
pronouncing Tnrznn's nnme nnd Imi
tating a walking man with the first and
second fingers of his right hnnd upon
the floor of the recess, sought to show
thnt Tnrznn had walked out of thc enve
nnd climbed upward on the pegs five
days before, but this was ns fnr nB the
sign inngtinge would permit him to go
This far tho stranger followed him
nnd. indicating that he understood, he
pointed to himself nud then Indicating
thc pegs lending nbovo announced thnt
he would toiiow rnrznn.
"Let us ko with him." Bnld Om-nt.
"for ns yet wo hnve not punlbhed thc
Kor-ul-lul for killing our friend and
nlly."
"Persuade him to wnlt until morn
Ing." snld Tn-den, "thnt you may take
with you mnny wnrrlors and make u
grent raid upon thc Kpr-ul-lul, nnd this
time. Um-nt, ao not uiu your prisopors.
"Take ns mnny ns you enn nllve
nnd from some of them we mny lenrn
the fate of Tnrzan-Jnd-guru." '
"Orcnt h the wisdom of the Ho
don," leplicd Om-nt. "It shnll bo ns
you say, nnd having made prisoners of
nil the Kor-ul-lul wc shall make them
tell us what we wish to know. And
then we shnll mnrch them to thc rim of
Kor-ul-gryf nnd push them over the
edge of the cliff." ,
Ta-dcn smiled, llo knew that they
would not take prisoner all the Kor-ul-lul
wnrrlors thnt they would bo
fortunato If they took one nnd It was
also possible that they might even bo
driven back In defeat, but he knew,
too, thnt Om-nt would not hesitate to
carry out his tlircnt If he hnd the op.
portunlty, so Implncnble wns the hntred
of theso neighbors for each other.
