Some cried the latter, ing to hi others followed him. “Five friends! shouted Omat a: An-un and his sons discovered them. “Adenen yo!" echoed O-dan and In-ead. The fugitives scarce paused as these jomed them, but they eyed Taden nd Tarzan with puzzled glances. “The Kor-vidul are many,” shout- ed Anun. “Would that we might Pause and fight; but we must warn Es-aat and our people. “Yes,” said Omat, “we must warn our people.” “Esaat ts dead,” eaid In-end. “Who is chief?" asked one of An-un's sona, “Omat,” replied Odan. “Tt is well,” cried An-un. “Pan-at- tee sald that you would come back and slay Eseat.” Now the enemy broke tnto sight behind them. “Come!” cried Tarzan, “let us turn and charge them, raixing a great cry. They pursued but. three and when they see eight charging upon them they will think that many men come to do battle. They ‘will believe that there are more even than they see and then one who is swift will have time to renga gorge and warn your people.’ “It is well,” said Omat. “Idan, you are ewift—carry wofd to th warriors of Kor-ul-ja that we fight the Kor-ul-lul upon the ridge and that Ab-den shall send a hundred men.” Id-an, the son of An-un, sped swift ly toward the cliff-dwellings of the Korul-ja while the others charged the incoming Kor-ul-lul, the war cries of the two tribes rising and falling in a certain grim harmony. The leaders of the Kor-ul-lul paused at sight of the reinforcements, waiting apparently for those behind to catch up with them and, possibly, also to learn how great a force confronted them. The leaders, swifter runners than their fellows, perhaps, were far in advance, while the balance of their number had not yet emerged from the brush: and now as Om-at and his companions fell upon them with a ferocity born of necessity they fell back, so that when their com- panions at last came in sight of tham they appeared to be in full rout, The natural result was that the others turned and fled. Encouraged by this first success Omvat followed them into the brush, his little company charging valiantly upon his either side, and loud and which they pursued the fleeing en- emy. The brush, while not ing #0 closely together as to impede progress, was of such height as to hide the members of the party from one another when they became sep- arated by even a few yards, The re- sult was that Tarzan, always swift and always keen for battle, was soon pursu of the others—a lack of prudence which was to prove his undoing. The warriors of Kor-ul-lul, doubt less aa valorous as their foemen, re treated only to a more strategic position in the brush, nor were they long in guessing that the numbe of their pursuers was fewer than their own. They made a stand then where the brush was densest—an ambush {t was, and into this ran Tarzan of the Apes. They tricked him neatly. Yes, sad as is the narra. tion of it, they tricked the wily jungle lord. But then they w fighting on their own ground, every foot of which they knew as you know your front parlor, and they were fol lowing thelr own tactics, of which Tarzan knew nothing. A single black warrior appeared to Tarzan a laggard in the rear of the retreating enemy and thus retreat ing he jured ‘Tarzan on. At last he turned at bay, confronting the a man with bludgeon and drawn knife, and as Tarzan charged him @ score of burly Wazdon leaped from the surrounding brush. Instantly, but too late, the giant Tarmangani real ized his peril, There flashed before him a vision of his lost mate and a great and sickening regret surged thru him with the realization that if she atill lived she might no longer hope, for tho she might never know of the passing of her lord (the fact it must inevitably seal her doom pning—from down the ridge.” He ened himself upon his belly in} And consequent to this jthought there enveloped him a or frenzy \ spring: | feet and running rapidly | to Intercept the three fugitives.

EDITH RINGS UP AND I RING OFF When I left home the next morn- ing Bobbie was sneezing at about half-minute intervais, “He seems to have taken a pretty bad cold,” said Dot. “Are you sure you tucked that blanket around him when it began to get cool yesterday ernoon?

Perhaps he had gotten uncovered at night. I called up Dot before I went out | for lunch and she informed me that Bobbie was no better and that she had taken his temperature, It was a degree above normal, “That isn't much,” I told her, “but why don't you ask Dr. Harris to drop ‘round to our house?” “Perhaps I will,” said my wife, “though I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.” I was uneasy the rest of the day nd made up my mind to hurry home early as I could. But all sorte of things came up and, though I had planned to leave sharply at five, it was half past that hour before I went to the clothestree to get my hat. Then, just as I was about to make my exit, a telephone call was announced for me, 1 went to the instrument. The voice was Edith’s. “I'm sorry I can’t stop to talk long now.” I said even before she had told me what she wanted, “Be bie is sick and I'm hurrying home. “That’s too bad.” I did not think her voice sounded very sy tipathetic, “Do you have to act as nursemaid even on weekdays?” “Sometimes. I'm sorry I have to hurry now. I'll evening or tomorrow morning.” 1 said that to break the force of my abruptness. I was not particularly interested in what Edith had to say. Of course, it had not been her fault that I failed to notice how cool it turned at sundown and to bundle Bobbie up a ring you up this) | cordingly. But if she hadn't insisted on being with me I was certain I would have | thought of it. That wasn’t very log- jical, but I was looking for some |one on whom I could put the blame, All the way home I reproached | myself for not taking better care of | Bobbie. He was a thousand times more important to me than Edith and I was anxious to forget any nonsense about her that my imagina- tion might have evolved. ‘Woe 1 eet home I saw in front of our house a coupe which I recog. nized as belonging to Dr. Harris.
