BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Copyright, 1921, A.C. McClurg & Co, CHAPTER I The Pithecanthropus Silent as the shadows thru which he moved, the great his head lowered and flattened, and every muscle vibrant to the thrill of the hunt. The jungle moon dappled an oc- casional clearing which the great cat was always careful to avoid. Tho he moved thru thick verdure across a carpet of innumerable twigs, broken branches, and leaves, his passing gave forth no sound that might have been ap- |prehended by dull human ears. Hunted Thing Less Cautious Apparently less cautious was the hunted thing moving even as silently as the lion a hundred paces ahead of the tawny carnivore, for instead of skirting the moon-splashed natural clearings it passed directly across them, and by the tortuous record of its spoor it might indeed be guessed that it sought these avenues of least resistance, as well it mght, since, unlike its grim stalker, it walked erect upon two feet—it walked upon two feet and was hairless except for a black thatch upon its head; its arms were well shaped and muscular; its hands powerful and slender with long tapering fingers and thumbs reaching almost to the first joint of the index fingers. It legs, too, were shapely, but its feet departed from the standards of all races of men, except possibly a few of the lowest races, in that the great toes protruded at right angles from the foot. Pausing momentarily in the full light of the gorgeous African moon, the creature turned an attentive ear to the rear and then, his head lifted, his features might readily | have been discerned in the moonlight. They were strong, | clean cut, and regular—features that would have attracted) attention for their masculine beauty in any of the great capitals of the world. But was this thing a man? It ~vould! |have been hard for a watcher in the trees to have decided |as the lion’s prey resumed its way across the silver tapestry that Luna had laid upon the floor of the dismal jungie, for from beneath the loin cloth of black fur that giidled/ its thighs there depended a long, hairless, white tail. Carries Stout Club in Hand In one hand the creature carried a stout club, and sus- pended at its left side from a shoulder belt was a short, sheathed knife, while a cross belt supported a pouch at its fright hip. Confining these straps to the body and also apparently supporting the loin cloth was a broad girdle which glittered tm the moonlight as tho encrusted with virgin gold, and| was clasped in the center of, the belly with a huge buckle} of ornate design that scintillated as with precios stones. Closer and closer crept Numa, the lion, to his intended victim, and that the latter was not entirely unaware of his danger was evidenced by the increasing frequency with which he turned his ear and his sharp black eyes in the} direction of the cat upon his trail. He did not greatly lincrease his speed, a long, swinging walk, where the open places permitted, but he loosened the knife in its scabbard| and at all times kept his club in readiness for instant action. | Leaves Safety of Trees Behind Forging at last thru a narrow strip of dense jungle vegetation, the man-thing broke thru into an almost treeless | urea of considerable extent. For an instant he hesitated, glancing quickly behind him and then up at the security of the branches of the great trees waving overhead, but }some greater urge than fear or caution influenced his de- \cision apparently, for he moved off again across the little | plain, leaving the safety of the trees behind him.
