But for Tar- zan's nimbleness and tho zealous watchfulness of savago Kala's imother-iove, Tublat would long since a rid himself of this stain upon is family escutcheon, So long had had {t been since Tarzan became a member of the tribe that Tublat had forgotten the circumstances sur- the entrance of the jungle- waif into his family, with the result that he now imagined that Tarzan was his own offspring, a supposition which added greatly to his chagrin. Ww far swung Tarzan of the Apes, until at last, as he reached the highest point of tho aro, the rope, which had rapidly frayed on the rough bark of the tree-lunb, suddenly parted. The watching apes saw the smooth brown body shoot outward and down, plummet-like, = Tubdiat leaped high in air, emitting what In @ human being would have been an exclamation of delight. This would be the end of Tarzan and of most of Tublat’s troubles, From now on he could lead hie life in peace and se- curity, Tarzan fell quite forty feet, alight- ing on his back ina thick bush, Kala was the first to reach his side, fero- cious, hideous, loving Kala, She had seen the life crushed from her own balu in just such a fall, years before, Was she to loge this one too in tho same way? Tarzan was lying quite sUll when she found him, embedded deeply in the bush. It took Kala eev- eral minutes to disentangle him and drag him forth—but he was not killed He was not even badly injured. The bush had broken the force of the fall, A cut upon the back of his head showed where he had struck a tough stem of the shrub and explained his unconsciousness, roundir In a few minutes Tarzan was as tive as ever. Tublat was fur.ous. his rage he snapped at a fellow without first discovering the tity of his victim, and was badly In ape id auled for MM temper, having chosen to vent his spite upon a husky and belligerent young bull In the full prime of his vigor, But Tar- zan had learned something new. He had learned that continued friction would wear through the strands of his rope, though it was many years before this knowledge did more for him than merely to keep him from swinging too long at a time or too far above the ground at the end of b The day came, however, when the very thing that had once al! but killed Tarban proved the means of saving Ho was no longer a child, but a mighty jungle male, There was none w to wateh over him solicitou por did he need such, Kala was dead. Dead too was Tublat, and though with Kala passed the one creature that ever had really loved him, there were sul many who hated him after Tubiat departed ynto the arms of his fathers, It wag not because he was r ruel Or more savage than they that hated him; for, though he was both cruel and savage, as were he beasts, his fellows, yet too was ften tender, which they never were, No, the thing which brought Tarzan most into disrepute with those who did not Ike him was the pos- res-ion and practice of a character which they had not and could t understand—the human sense of or. In Tarzan it was a trifle 1, perhaps, manifesting itself ir rough and painful yractical jokes upon his frieuds and crue} baiting of his enemies, But to nether of these did he owe the enmity of Bukawal, the witch- or who dwelt in the cave between the two hills far to the north of the village of Mbonga the chief.
