hid w far outwitted tho high powers
ef A-lur- he moved rapidly to the oppn
s!tt end of the inclosure. Here ho
found a patch of flowering shrubbery
tlit might safely have concealed n
dozen men.
jCrawIIng well within he removed the
uncomfortable headdress and sat down
to await whatever eventualities fate
nJiht have in store for him the while
he formulated plans for the future.
The one night that he had spent in
A-Iur had kept him up to n late hour,
apprising him of the fact that while
tlrte were few abrpad in the temple
'pounds at night, there were yet enough
to make It possible for htm to fare forth
under cover of hli disguise without at
tracting tbo unpleasant attention of the
(oards, nnd, too, he had noticed that
the, priesthood constituted a privileged
tla'u that seemed to come nnd go nt
will and unchallenged throughout the
palace as well as the temple. Alto
tether then, he decided, night furnished
the most propitious hours for his in
vtstiritloii by day he could He up in
the shrubbery of the Forbidden Garden,
rettonably free from detection. From
beipnd the garden he henrd tho voices
el men calling to ono nnother both far
ind tear, and he guessed that diligent
was the search that was being piose
cuN for him.
The idle moments afforded him an
opportunity to evolve n more satis
factory scheme for attaching his stolen
caudal nppendnge. He nrrunged it In
tuchaway thnt it might bo quickly as
sumed or discarded, und this done he
fell to examining the weird mask that
hsdMeffectUcly hidden his features.
The thing had been very cunningly
wrought from a single block of wood,
Terr probably n section of a tree, upon
which the features had been carved and
afternard the interior hollowed out
until only a comparatively thin shell
remained. Two scml-eireulnr notches
ij fn, rounded out from opposite
HUM of the lower edge. These fitted
"ugly over his shoulders, nprons of
wood extending dow nwnrd n few inches
upon his chcit nnd hnrk. t.V,m, fc..,..

Tho priests hnd scarce departed when
there camo the sound of feet running
rapidly across the garden in the direc
tion of the princess to an nccompanl-
inciii oi rnpni Dreaming as of one al
most spent, cither from fatigue or ex
citement. "Pan-at-lec," exclaimed O-lo-n,
"what has hnpponed? You look as
terrified as the doo for which you wcro
named I"
"O Princess of Pal-ul-don," cried
Pan-at-lee, "they would have killed
hlm in the temple. They would hnva
Kiiica me wonurous stranger who claim
ed to be the Dftr-ul-Otho."
"But he escaped, " said O-lo-n.
"You were there. Tell me about it."
"The head priest would have had him
selicd nnd slnln, but when they nishel
upon him he hurled one in the face of
Lu-don with the same ease that you
might cast your breastplates at me:
and then he leaped upon the altar and
from there to tho top of the temple wall
nnd disappeared below.
"They are searching for him, buL
O, Princess, prny that they do not find
mm.
"And why do you pray that?" asked
O-lo-n. "Has not one who has blas
phemed earned death?"
"Ah, but you do not know him," re
plied Pan-rU-lce.
"And you do, then?" retorted O-lo-a
quickly. "This morning you betrayed
jourself nnd 'then nttemptcd to deceive
me. The slaves of O-lo-n do not such
things nlth Impunity. He is then the
same Tnrzan-Jnd-guru of whom you
told me? Hpcnk woman nnd speak only
the truth."
Pnn-nt-lee drew herself up very
erect, her little chin held high, lor was
not she too among her own people
nlreadr ns .rood ns n nrlneess? "Pnn-
nt-lee the Ktjr-ui-ja dors not lie," she
said, "to protect herself."
"Then tell me what you know of this
Tnrzan-jad-guru." Insisted O-lo-n,.
"I know thnt he is n wondrous man
nnd very brnve," said Pan-at-lec, "nnd
that he saved me from the Tor-o-don
and tho gryf as I told you, nnd thnt he
Is Indeed the same who came Into the
garden this morning; nnd even now I
do not know thnt he is not the son of
.Tnd-bcn-Otho, for his courage and his
strength nre more than those of mortal
man, as arc nlso his kindness and his
honor: for when he inignt nave harmed
me he protected me, and when he might
hnve saved himself he thought onlv of
me. And all this he did because of his
friendship for Om-nt, who is gund of
Kor-ul-jn nnd with whom I should have
mnted bad tbe Ho-don not captured
me."
"He was indeed n wonderful man to
look upon," mused O-lo-n. "and he
was not ns nre other men, not nlone in
the conformation of his hands nnd feet
or the fact thnt he was tailless, but
thero was that about him which made
him seem different In ways more im
portant than these." ft
"And," supplemented Pnn-nt-lce,
her ravage little heart loyal to the man
who hnd befriended her and hoping to
uln for him the consideration of the
princess even though it might, not avail
hlm; "and." she said, "did ho not
know nil nbout Tn-den and even his
whereabouts? Tell me. O Princess,
could mortal know such things ns
these?"
"Perhaps he snw Ta-den," sug
gested O-lo-n.
"nut how would he know that you
loved Tn-dcn," pnrrled rnn-nt-lee. "I
tell vou. mv Princess, that If be Is
not a god he is nt least more than Ho
dnn or Wnz-don. lie followed me from
the cave of Es-sat in Kor-ul-Ja across
Kor-ul-lul nnd two wide ridges to the
very cave in Kor-ul-gryf where I hid.
though mnnv hours hnd passed since I
had come that way nnd my bnre fVot
left no Impress upon the ground. Whnt
mortal ninn could do such things as
these? And where ln all Pnl-ul-don
would virgin maid find friend nnd pro
tector in n strnnse male other than he?"
"Perhnps Lu-don may be mistaken
perhnps he is n god." said O-lo-n. In
fluenced by her slave's enthusiastic
championing of tho stranger.
"nut whether god or man he Is too
wonderful to die," cried Pan-at-lee.
"Would that I might save him. If ho
lived ho might even find a way to give
ion vour Ta-den. Princess.
"Ah, If he onlv could," sighed
O-ln-n. "but alas! It Is too late, for to.
morrow I am to be given to Itu-lot."
"He who camo to jour quarters yes
terday with your father?" asked
Pun-at-lee.
"Yes; the one with tho awful round
face and the big belly," exclaimed the
princess disgustedly. "He is so lazy
he will neither hunt nor fight. To cat
and to drink is all that Bu-lot is fit
for, and he thinks of naught els ex
cept these things and his slave women.
Hut come, Pan-at-lec. gather for me
somo of these beautiful blossoms. I
wouiu nave uiem spread around my
couch tonight that I may enrry away
with me in the morning the memory
of the fragrance that I love beat and
which I know that I shall not find in
the village of Mo-sar, the father of
Ilu-lot. I will help vouj Pan-at-lee.
and we will gather armfuls of them,
for I love to gather them as I Iova
nothing else they were Tn-den's
favorite flowers.
The two approached the flowering
siiriiDDery wiiere Tarznn Hid, but ns
the blooms grew plentifully upon every
bush the npe-man guessed there would
he no necessity for them to enter the
patch far enough to discover him. With
little exclamntions of pleasure as they
found particularly large or perfect
blooms the two moved from, place to
place upon the outskirts of Tarznn's
retreat.
"Oh, look, Pnn-nt-lee," cried O-lo-n
presently; "there is tbe king of them
nil. Never did I see so wonderful n
flower No! I will cet it mviwlfifr I
so lorge and wonderful no other hand
shall touch it," oud the princess wound
in among wie dumics toward the point
where the greao flower bloomed upon
n bush nbove the ape-man's head.
So .sudden and unexpected her ap
proach that there was no onnortnniiv tn
escape and Tnrznn sat silently trusting
that fnte might ba kind to him and
lead Ro-tan's daughter uwoy before her
eyes dropped from tho hlgh-growing
bloom to him. Hut us tho girl cut the
long stem with her knife she looked
down straight Into the amlllng faco of
larzan-jad-guru.
With a stifled scream she drew back
and the upo-mnn rose nnd faced her.
Iinvii Tin fnnt 1ltAn. ft i..
I Mired her. "It is 'the friend 'nf Tn.riJ
who salutes you," rulslng her fingera
to his lipM.
Pan-ut-lce came now excitedly for
"'".?! "O Jad-ben-Otho, It is ho!"
And now thnt inn l,rn fr.i....l ... )i
queried Tarzan, "will you give mo up
to. Lu-don. the high priest? V
I an-nt-lee threw herself upon her
knees nt O-lo-a's feet. "iVinccsg'
PiinT!" flhe beseoched "do not d I J.'
covered him to his enemies,"
Hut Ko-tnn, my father." whispered
O-lo-n fearfully, f'f he knew of mv
perfidy his rngo would be beyond
limning, hven though I am a princess,
Lu-don might demand thnt I bo sue
i Weed to apiwnM- the wrath of .lad-hen-O
ho, and between the two of them
I should be lost."
