It was noon of the third day before they reached their destination. After a steep climb and a short walk they palted at the ed a_ precipitous cliff and Schneider looked down Into a narrow guich where a single. tree grew beside a tiny rivulet and sparse grass broke from a rock-strewn soll. ‘Tarzan motioned him over the edge; but the German drew back in terror. ‘The ape-man seized him and pushed him roughly toward the brink. “De. scend,” he said, It was the second time he had spoken in three days and perhaps his very silence, ominous in itself, had done more to arouse terror in the breast of the Boche than even the spear point, ever ready as it al- ways was.

And at last the time came when he could not longer en- @ bare march away. His decision made, the direction’ of the German camp, the fleld of operations he might find an opportunity to harass the German command as ho so well knew how to do. His way took him along the gorge close to the gulch in which he had left Schneider, and yielding to a natural curiosity, he scaled the cliffs and made his way to the edge of tbe gulch, The tree was empty, nor was there sign of Numa, the lion. Pick- gulch, where it rolled to the very en- trance to the cave. Instantly the lion appeared in the aperture; but such a different looking lion from the great sleek brute that Tarzan had trapped there two weeks before. Now he was gaunt and emaciated, and when he walked he staggered. Where is the German?” shouted Tarzan. “Was he good eating, or only a bag of bones when he slipped and fell from the tree?” Numa growled, “You look hungry, Numa,” continued the ape-man, “You must have been very hungry to eat all the grass from your lair atd even you can reach. Would you like an- other German?” And, smiling, turned away. A few minutes later he came sud- denly upon Bara, the deer, asleep be- neath a tree, and as Tarzan was hun- gry he made a quick kill and, squat- 4 hin fill, As he was gnawing the last caught the padding of stealthy feet behind him, and, turning, he con- After accounting for Schneider as disdovered that in the neighborhood dened by thirst, knowing that sooner if enter the cave, and then he pictured | more and more the ape-man found mans who were besting them. The growl and it worried him not a littlesthe next shot that would tell hin’ ing it difficult to forget that he was an Englishman when he wanted only dure the thought of Germans killing Englishmen while he hunted in safety he set out in ne well-defined plan formulated, but with the general idea that once near ing up a rock, he hurled it into the the bark from the tree as far up as he ng Weside his prey, proceeded to eat morsel from a bone his quick ears of the Apes knew Dango even better thar Dango knew himself. He knew that the brute, made savage by bi ger, was mustering its gou! ge fo8 As - attack; that it was probably a tomed to man and therefore more or slung his heavy spear and ready at his side while he continued h eal, all the time keeping & ul eye Upon the byena. He felt no fear, for long familiarity with the dangers of hig wild world had so accustomed him Yo them thas he took whatever came as a part of each day's existence as you accept the homely though no less real dan-* kers-ot the farm, the range, or the crowded metropolis, Being jungle bred he was ready to protect his kilt from all comers within ordinary liml- tations of caution. Under favorable conditions Tarzan would face even Numa himself and, if forced to sufety by. flight, he could do so with- out any feeling of shame. There no braver creature roamed savage wilds and at the same oe there was none more wise—the factors that hgd permitted bim to survive, Lengo might have charged vut for the savage growls of the man—growls' which, coming f human lips, raised aq’ fear In the hyena’s heart: He attacked women and cbildren in native fields and he had frighte: their men about their fires at nigi but he never had seen & man-thi who made this sonnd that remin him more of Numa angry than of @ man afraid. i When Tarzan had completed his repast he was about to rise and hurl a clean-picked bone at the beast be- fore he went his way, leaving the re+ mains of his kill to Dango, but a, sudden thought stayed him and ine stead he picked up the carcass of the deer, threw it over bis shoulder, and set off in the direction of the gulch. For a few yards Dango followed, growling, and then realizing that be was being robbed of even a taste of the luscious flesh he cast discretion to the winds and charged. Instantly, as though Nature had given him eyes in the back of his head, Tarzan sensed the impending danger dropping Bara to the ground tu with raised spear, Far back went the brown, right hand and then ward, lighting-like, backed by &b power of giant muscles and the weight of his brawn and bone. The spear, released at the right instant, drove straight for Dango, caught in the neck where it Gane shouldera and passed thro body. When he had withdrawn the shaft from the hyena Tarzan shouldered both careases and continued on toward the gulch, Below lay Numa beneath the shade the lone tree and at the ape-man’s call he stag: gered slowly to his feet, yet weak he was, hé still growled savagely, even essaying a roar at the sight of his enemy. Tarzan let the two bod- fes slide over the rim of the cliff. “Eat, Numa!” he cried. “Tt may be that'T shall need you again.” He saw the lion, quickened to new life at the sight of food, spring upon the body of the deer and then he left him rending and tearing the flesh as he bolted great pieces into his empty maw. 4 ‘Tne following day Targan came within sight of the German lines. From a wooded spur of the hills he looked down, upon the enemy's left flank and beyond to the British lines. His position gave him a bird’s§) view of the field of battle, and keen eyesight picked out many de tails that would not have been ap- parent to a man‘ whose every sense was not trained to the highest point of perfection as were the ape-man's. He noted machine-gun emplacements cunningly hidden’ from the view of the British and listening poste p! well out in No Man's Land. As his interested gaze moved hither and thither from one point of interes? to another he “heard from a point upon the hillside below him, above the roar of cannon and the crack of rifle fire, a single rifle 8 Imme- diately his attention was centred upon the spot where he knew a sniper must be hid, Patiently he awaited more surely the exact location of rifleman, and when !t came he moved down the steep hillside with the stealth and quietness of a panther, Apparently he took no cognizance of where he stepped, yet never a loow® stone was disturbed nor twit broken—it was as though his feet saw, Presently, as he passed through a clump of bushes, he came to the edz of a low cliff and saw upon a ledge some fifteen feet below him a Gere man soldier prone behind an em- bankment of loose rock and leafy boughs that hid him from the view of the British lines. The man must hav been an excellent shot, for he was well back of the German lines, firing over the heads of his fellows. His high-powered rifle was equipped witin telescope sights and he also carried binoculars which he was in the got of using as Tarzan discovered him, either to note the effect of his last ,- shot or to discover a new target/ Tarzan let his eye move quickly toward that part of the British ling the German seemed to be scanning, his keen sight revealing many excold lent targets for a rifle placed so high above the trenches, The Boche evidently satisfied with his observations, laid aside his binec- wars and again took up his rifle, Placed its butt In the hollow of his shoulder and took careful aim. A® the same instant a brown body sprang outward from the cliff above him. ‘There was no sound and it is doubtful that the German ever knew what manner of creature it was that alighted heavily upon his back, for at the instant of impact the sinewy fingers of the ape-man circled the hairy throat of the Boche, There was 4 moment of futile struggling fol= lowed by the sudden realtzation ot dissolution~the sniper was dead. Lying behind the rampart of rockm and boughs, Tarzan looked down upom {far end of the gulch, “There is a hungry lion in there. If you can reach that tree before he discovers ‘you, you will have several days jonger in which to enjoy life and then—when you are too weak to cling Jonger to the branches of the tree the sran-spter,, will feed again fronted Dango, the hyena, upon him, With a grow! the ape- the skulking away, eater of carrion!” he or!
