To him the Great Spirit apppeared in‘e dream, and said, ‘Arise, tell thy wife and thy children to go-early in the morn- ing; take them to the top of Mount Tahoma, for a mighty flood shall come upon this earth and destroy all that is bad. ‘On top of the mountain I will come and speak to you aguin. I | will tell you what to do." “So early, early in the morning when the first gray of the dawn appeared, O-laqua took his wife and his children 4nd his faithful dogs and hurried to the mountain, while the rest of the world was tast asleep. Soon strange things began to happen in the sky and on the earth, and seeing O-la-qua fined, “in the great, ~ towering . | t wi le |had ‘em locked up safe and sound, | Places ant then I blow ‘em away. |] ain pe clean once more, and|ind his‘ family and his faithful ht of the creature pursuing him | even tho ‘he reached the tree he | id have to climb in an incred-| ly short time as, unless appear. | i es were deceiving, the thing could | & ch up and pluck bim down from § branch under 30 feet agove the, f und, and possibly from 50 feet, if it reared up on its hind | Tarzan was no sluggard and D the gryf was incredibly fast de-| its great bulk, it was no match | ‘Tarzan, and when it comes to| imbing, the little monkeys ont th envy upon the feats of the ape- And #0 it was that the bellow- gryf came to a baffled stop at| foot of the tree and even tho reared up and sought to seize his among the branches, as T: had guessed he might, he failed | this also.

One of the gryfe walked over and gniffed about it, but did not offer to devour it. Tarzan had examined it casually as he had paswed earlier in the morning. He guewsed that it represented either a very high order of ape or @ very tow order of man—something akin to the Java man, perhaps; a truer ex ample @f the pithecanthrop! than Ho-don or the Waz-don) possibly pfecursor of them both, As his eyes wandered idly over the} acene below, his active brain was working out the details of the plan that he had made to permjt Pan.at lee’s escape from the gorge. His thoughts werg ,interrupted by a strange ery from above them in the Whee-oo! coming closer. ‘The gryfs raised their heads and looked in the dirgction of the inter ruption. One of them made a low, rumbling sound im its throat. It was not a bellow and it did not indicate anger, The gryfe repeated the rum. Whee-oo! it sounded, bling and at intervals the “Whee-oo!” was repeated, coming ever closer, ‘Tarzan 1ooked at Pan-at-lee,” What is it?" he asked The creature, walking erect carrying a stick in one hand, ad- vanced at a slow, lumbering gait. It walked directly toward the gryts, who moved aside, as tho afraid. ‘Tar- zan watched intently. The Tor-o-don was now quite close to one of the triceratops, H swung its head and at him yiciously. Instantly Tor-odon sprang in and com- menced to belabor the huge beast across the face with his stick. To the ape-man’s amazement the gryf, that might have dhnibilated the comparatively puny Tor-o-don in- stantly in any of a dozen ways, cringed like a whipped cur. “Whee-oo! Whee-vo!” shouted the Tor-o-don, and the gfyf came slowly toward him. A whack on the me dian horn brought it to a stop. Then the Tor-o-don walkeg around behind it, clambered up its tail and seated himself astraddie of the huge back, “Whee-oo!” he shouted, and prodded the beast with a sharp point of his stick, The gryf commenced to move off, So rapt had Tarzan been tn the scene below him that he had given no thought to escape, for he realized that for him and Panatelee time had in these brief moments turned back countless ages to spread before their eyes a page of the dim and distant past. Théy too had looked upon the first man and his primitive beasts of burden. And now the ridden gryf halted and looked up at them, bellowme. It was sufficient.

The Past, basing {ts claims upon brute strength, sought to reach the other and‘drag him down; but the loosed arrow sank deep ifito the savages heart and the Past sank back into the oblivion that had claimed his kind. “Tarzan -jad- guru! murmured Pan-at-lee, unknowingly giving him out of the fullness of her admira- | tion the same title that the warriors of her tribe had bestowed upon him.
