Tarzan made no acknowledgment of their exuberant greeting, but came forward in silence to stand at last with folded arms before them. There was a grim, accusing expression upon his countenance that brought the chill of fear to Biu- ber’s cowardly heart, and blanched the faces of the two hardened Eng- lish pugs. “What is it?’ “What is wrong? pened?” “| have come for the bag of stones you took from me,” said Tarzan simply.

But the woman—who was she? It was evi-| dent that she had been walking| upon sore, tired feet, and that in| |lieu of shoes she wore bandages of cloth. | Tarzan followed the spoor of the man and the woman where it led from the hut into the jungle. As| it progressed it became apparent that the woman had been lagging |behind, and that she» had com- jmenced to limp more and more painfully. Her progress was very |slow, and Tarzan could see that the| }man had not waited for her, but |that he had been, in some p | considerable distance ahead of her.| And so it was that Esteban had| forged far ahead of Fiora Hawkes whose bruised and bleeding fect| would scarce support her. “walt for me, Esteban,” she had pleaded. ‘Do not desert me.
