",-ui.jui wuo were not engnged, ho
tlon of tho Valley of Jnd-ben-Otho
toward the cavc;j of his people.
This one, when ho discovered the
purpose of their questioning, bartered
with them for tho lives and liberty of
himself and lite fellows. "I can tell
you much of this terrible man of whom
you ask, Korul-Ja," he said. "I saw
iilm yesterday and I know whero he
is, and if you will promise to let me
nnd my fellows return In safety to the
caves of our ancestors I will tell you
nil, nnd truthfully, that which I
know."
"You will toll us nnywny," replied
Om-nt, "or we shall kill you."
"You will kill me nnywny," retorted
the prisoner, "unless you make me this
promise; so if I nm to bo killed the
thing I know shall go with me.",'
"He Is. right, Ora-ntf'' said Ta-den;
"promise him that they shall have their
liberty."
"Very well,'" said Om-at. "Speak
Kor-ul-lul, and when you havo tdd
mo nil, you nnd your fellows may re
turn unnnnncn to your tribo."
"I was thus," commenced tho pris
oner. "Three dnys since I was hunt
ing with n party of my fellows near the
mouth of Kor-ul-lul, not far from
where you captured me this morning,
when we wore surprised nnd set upon
uy a large number of Ho-don, Vno
took us prisoners nnd carried us to
A-lur, where n few wero chosen to bo
slaves and tho rest w'ero cast Into n
chnmbcr beneath tho temple where are
held for sacrifice tho victims that nre
offered by the Ho-don to Jnd-bcn-Otho
upon the sncrlflclal altnrs of tho
temple of A-lur.
"It seemed then that Indeed was my
fate scaled and that lucky indeed were
those who had been selected for slaves
among the Ho-don, for they nt least
might hope to escape those in tho
chamber with me must be without
hope.
"But yesterday a strange thing hap
pened. There came to the temple, ac
companied by nil the priests and by the
Kins nnd mnnv of hid warriors. 0110
to whom nil did great reverence, nnd
when ho came to the barred gateway
leading to tho chamber in which wo
wretched ones nwaltcd our fate, I snw
to my surprise that it was none other
than thnt terrible man who luul so ic
ccntly been n prisoner in tho vlllago of
Kor-ul-lul he whom you cnll Tnrznn-jad-guro,
but whom they addressed as
I)or-ul-Otho. And ho looked upon ui
and questioned tho high priest nnd
when ho was told of the purpose for
which we were imprisoned there he grew
nngry nnd cried that it was not the
will of .Tad-bcn-Otho that his people
be thus sacrificed, nnd ho commanded
the high priest to liberate us, nnd this
wob done.
"Tho Ho-don prisoners were per
mitted to return to their homes nnd
we were led beyond tho city of A-lur
and set upon our way toward Kor-ul-lul.
There were three of us, but many
nro the dangers that He between A-lur
and Kor-ul-lul and we wero only three
nnd unarmed. Therefore none of us
reijchcd the village of our peoplo nnd
on.y one of us lives. I hnve spoken."
Thnt is all you know concerning
ToMon-Jad-guru?" asked Om-nt.
"lhat is all I know." replied the
prisoner, "other than thnt he whom
they cnll Lu-don, the high priest nt
A-lur, was very nngry, nnd that one
; I. . nrIes,s who guided us out
of the city said to the. other thnt the
stranger wns not Dor-ul-Otho nt nil;
Hint I,u-don had said so nnd that he
had also said thnt he would expose him
n.n"t thnt he should bo punished with
Heath for his presumption. That is
nil they said within rav hearing.
And now, chief of Korul-jn, let us
depart.
Om-nt nodded. "Go j,our way," he
snm, nnd Ab-on. send warriors to
guard them until they nre safely with
in ( tho Kor-ul-lul.

Tlio Masqucrader
As Tar7an dropped to the
ucyonu tlio temple wall there woo in
his mind no intention to escapo from
tho City of A-lur until ho had satis
lied himself thnt his mato wns not n
prisonor there, but how, in tills atrnniM
city in which every man'n hand must
be now against him, he wns to live nnd
j.rospcuto his search ns fnr from clear
tc Iilm.
Thoro was only one place of which
ho know that ho might llnd even tem-
i!I'lr.ysan5,tunry' nnd tlmt was tho
Forbidden Garden of tho king. There
w?s, thhk shrubbery in whii-h a mnn
jiukiii uiao, nnu water nnd fruits. A
cunning junglo crature, if he could
lencu tho siot unstiHpectud, mi.-rht re
main concealed there for a considerable
time, but how he waH to trnverse the
Ulstanco between the twuplo grounds
nnd th gnrden unseen wn-j n question
the soriouhness of which he fully no
prccintcd. "Mighty is Tnr?an," he solilo
qulzoil "Jn his nntlvo jungle, but In
Ijie c tics of man he Is llttlu better tbnu
tlicy."
Depending upon his keen observation
and sense of location no toit Fiifo In
assuming thnt hu could roncli the puluce
grounds by means of the mibtermnrnn
corridors nnd chambers of the temple
through which he had been conducted
Ihe dnv before, nor nny slightent detnll
or which lmd escaped bin keen eye.
J lint would bo better, he icnsoned, than
crossing tho open grounds above, where
bin Tiursuei'A would nntnrnllv Imm...
dlntely follow him from tho temple nnd
ijuicKiy uisr-ovcr mm.
And so n dosou piicoc from tho tern
plo wall ho disappeared from sight of
any chance obscnor ubovo down one
of tho st me .tuinvnjs thnt led to the
npiirtiuonts beneath. The way that
he hnd been" conducted the provlmiH
day had follow td tho windings nnd
turnings of numerous corrldorn nnd
npaitiiientA, but Tarzan, wire of him
self In such mattors, retraced the routo
nccurntclv without licsitntiiin.
lie hnd little fear of immediato np
prelirtision heie fiinco he believed that
nil tho prlcstfj of the temple had ns
Minbled In tlip court above to wittu-Ks
IiIk trial nnd his humiliation nnd his
dentil, nnd with this Idea llimly im
plnnted In hiH mind ho rounded tho
tin n of tho corridor and came faco to
fnco with nn under pticst, hl grn
tesquo hend-die.ss concealing whatover
emotion the night of Tarzan may hao
aroused.
However, Tarzan had one advantngc
over the masked votary of Jad-bcu-Otho
In that the moment he saw the
priest ho knew his Intention concerning
him, nnd, therefore, was not compelled
to dclny action. And so It wits thnt be
foro tho priest could determine on any
suitnblo line of conduct In the prem
ised n long, keen knife hnd been slipped
Into lifs heart,
As the bodv lunged toward the floor
Tnrau cnught It nnd bnntchcil the
headdress fiom its shoulders, for the
lirst sight of the creature had suggested
to his ever-alert mind u bold bchcme
for deceiving his enemies.

We asked the young lady
across tho way If she liked frogs
and she enld she hardly knew as
every time she'd ever ordered them
there didn't seem to be anything
left but the drumsticks.
