He had seen, dimly in the shadows of the night, strange, mon strous forms and Taden and Omat | had spoken of great creatures that all men feared: but always, every- where, by night and by day, there dangers. From infancy death stalked, grim and terrible, at bis heels. He knew little of any other existence. To cope with danger was hig life and he lived bis life as simply and as naturally as you live yours Th goes abroad in the jungle at night is afraid, for he has spent his life since ther and the elephant and the ape—a true jungle creature de pendent solely upon hig prowess and his wits, playing a fone hand against creation, Therefore he was, sur. prised at nothing and feared nothing and so he walked thru the strange night as the farmer to the cow lot fm the darkness before the dawn. Once more Pan-at-lec’s trail ended jat the verge of a cliff; but this time there was no indication that she had leaped over the edge and a moment's search revealed to Tarzan the stone pegs upon which she had made her descent. As he lay upon his belly leaning over the top of the cliff ex- amining the pegs his attention was suddenly attracted by something at the foot of the cliff. He could not distinguish ita identity, but he saw that it moved and presently that it was ascending slowly, apparently by means of pegs similar to those di- rectly below him. He watched it in tently as it rose higher and higher until he was able to distinguish its form more clearly, with the result more nearly resembled some form of great ape than a lower order. It | had a tall, tho, and im other respects | it did not seem a true ape. Slowly it ascended to the upper tier of caves, into one of which it |disappeared. Then Tarzan took up lowed it down the stone pegs to the | Rearest cave and then farther along | |the upper tier. The ape-man raised bis eyebrows when he saw the direc tion in which it led, and quickened his pace. He had almost reached the third cave when the echoes of Kor- ublgryf were awakened by @ shrill scream of terror. CHAPTER VI THE TORO-DON Pan-at-lée slept—the troubled sleep of physical and nervous exhaustion, filled with weird dreamings. She dreamed that she slept beneath a great tree in the bottom of the Kor- ul-gryf and that one of the fearsome beasts was creeping upon her but she could not open her eyes nor move. She tried to scream, but no sound issued from her lips. She felt the thing touch her throat, her breast, her arm, and there it closed and seemed to be dragging her to ward it. of will she opened her eyes. instant she knew that dreaming and that quickly the hallu cination of the dream would fage— it had happened to her many times before. But it persisted. In the dim light that filtered mto the dark chamber she saw a form beaide her, she felt hairy fingers upon he hairy breast against which she was being drawn. Jad-ben-Otho! this was no dream. And then she screamed and tried to fight the thing from her; but her scream was answered by a low growl and”enother hairy hand seized her by the hair of the head. ‘The beast rose now upon its hind legs and dragged her from the cave te the moonlit recess without, and at the same instant she saw the figure that be became convinced that it/ again the trail of Pan-atlee. ,He fol- | With a superhuman effort | In the| she was! spot where she had emerged from | his friend, and for Omat he would continue upon the trail he had picked Here) tying it to the lower branch / How OLD 4R€ You, JOHNSON ¢ TO GO FIRST!

She was lost—that Pan-at lee knew. The two things might fight tor her, but whichever won she was lost. Perhaps during the battle, if it came to that, she might find the opportunity to throw herself over into the Kor-ul-gryf. The thing that held her she had recognized now as a Tor-o-don, but the other thing she could not place, tho in the moonlight she could see it very distinctly. It had no tail, She could see its hands and its | feet, and they were not the hands and feet of the races of Pal-ul-don | It was slowly closing upon the Tor.

Watch from there. If 1 am defeated you will have time to es-| cape this siow thing; if I am not I will come to you there. I am.Omat's friend and yours.” ‘The last words took the keen edge from Panat-lee’s terror; but she did not understand. How did this strange creature know her name? How did it know that she had descended the pegs by a certain cave? It must, then, have been here when she came. ‘anatlee was puzzled “Who are you?’ she asked, “a: from whence do you come?” “I am Tarzan,” he replied, “and just now I came from Om-at, gund of Kor-ul-Ja, in search of you.” Om-at, gund of Kor-ulja! What | wild talk was this? She would have questioned him further, but now he was approaching the Toro-don and the lattep was screaming and growl- ing so loudly as to drown the sound of Wér voice. And then it did what the strange creature had said that it would do—it released its hold upon her hair as it prepared to charge. Charge it did and in those close quarters there was no room to fence for openings. Instantly the two beasts locked in deadly embrace: each seeking the other's throat. Pan atdee watched, taking no advantage of the opportunity to escape which thelr preoccupation gave her, She watched and waited, for into her savage little brain had come the ro. solve to pin her faith to this strange creature who had unlocked her heart with those four words—“I am Ony at's friend!’ And so. she waited, with drawn knife, the 6pportunity to do her bit in the vanquishing of the Tor-o-don, ‘hat the newcomer could do it unaided she well knew to be beyond the realms of posalbility, for |ehe knew well the prowess of the beastlike man with whom it fought. There were not many of them in Pal-ul-don, but what few therexwere were a terror to the women of the Waz-don and the Ho-don, for the old Tor-o-don bulls roamed the moun tains and the valleys of Pal-uldon between rutting seasons and woe be- * SEATTL WE MAY AS WELL GET ON 1 SUPPOSE BUT | DO WISH LET's Go! rhein Nu For all Howly Thunder and rors, folks kind of like them.

The two fell heavily, but so agile was the ape-man and so quick his powerful muscles that even tm falling he twisted the beast beneath him, so that Tarzan fell on top and now the tail that had tripped him sought his throat as had the tail of In-tan, the Kor-ullul. In the effort of turning his antagonist’s body during the fall Tarzan had had to relinquish his knife that he might seize the shaggy body with both hands and now the weapon lay out of teach at the very edge of the recess, Both hands were occupied for the moment in fending off the clutching fingers that sought to seize him and drag his throat within reach of his foe's formidable fangs and now the tail was seeking its 1221-Third Ave “COR UNINERSITY Met epee hed ate ~|Mrs, Bluebird said, REM TMS 15, THEY t EMBER MAY USE WHISKEY Jumpy Lightning are such ter- soon, Jack Frost ts likely to be} snooping around, and he'd play a/ trick on me sure as anything.

How they got started and everything. I wish I could talk to somebody who was up there on the mountain before there were roads and guides and things.” “Some day,” mother-dcar sald. “I hope you will be able to do that, son; I really think the Longmire’s would have the most interesting early-day memories. 1 was reading quite recently an article in a paper, written by Mrs. Mary Longmire Beach, in which she tells many things I have never heard before. She writes of Capt. George Vancouver, of Eng- land, who was a navigator of 1792. “He is the first white man who ever made any record of the won- derful mountain, and it was he who named it Mount Rainier, in) honor of bis dear friend, Rear Admiral Rainier, “Vancouver thought at that time that all this country would be English territory.
