With one arm around La‘s waist the ape-man carried her to the sum mit of the dais, where he seized his spear and drew it from the body of the dead lion. Then, turning about, | and facing the advancing Bolgani, | he placed one foot upon the carcass | of his kill and raised his volce in the terrifying victory ery of the apes of Kerchak.

From thelr ranks there| suddenly leaped the old man of the east tower, who ran swiftly toward Tarzan. “Ah, traitor,” cried the ape-man, “you would be the first, then, to taste | the wrath of Tarzan?" He spoke in English and the old man replied inj} the same tongue. | “Traitor?” he exclaimed in sur-| prise. “Yes, traitor,” thundered Tarzan, “Did you not hurry here to tell the Bolgani that I was in the palace, that they might send Gomangani to lure me to a érap? “I did nothing of the kind,” replied the other. “I came here to place my- raising a “Listen! self near the white woman, with the|me, and nothing Iéss than this shall|day when we thought that I might be of service | to her or you if I were needed.

For a moment they pressed them back, but the numbers against them were too great, and once again a wave swept up that seemed likely to overwhelm them, when there broke upon the ears of the contest- ants a frightful roar, which, coming from almost at their sides, brought nm sudden, momentary cessation of the battle. rning thelr eyes in the direction sound they saw a huge, black- ned tion standing upon the floor of the partment, just within one of the windows.

Our only hope, therefore, is. to escape from the palace while they are momentarily disorganized, and trust to fleetness and ,to luck to rry us beyond the limits of the val- ley before we are apprehended.” “See,” cried La, pointing; “even now it is too late—they return.” ‘Tarzan looked in the direction that she indicated and saw thru the open doorway at the far end of the cham- ber a large number of gorilla-men approaching.
