TARZAN AND THE LION MAN. Rhonda was aghast, and even the steely Tarzan was taken aback when the half man, half gorilla explained his appalling purpose: cells from you two I shall not only insure my youth, but I shall take on again the semblance of a man— a human being!” “But you will not have to kill us!” Rhonda ex- claimed. “You take the cells from the gorillas with- out killing them.

And he put the trinket in the chamois wrapping into the hands of the bishop. The latter, unwrapping the thing slowly, still kept his grave, gentle eyes fixed on the stranger until something that his fingers touched made him look down quickly. Then he saw that sacred glimmer of gold and green and he clasped the treasure in both hands against his breast. ’ “You are El Keed!” he said. “Ah, where is Pascual!
