There Was little rifle fire and only an occa- sional shell vouched for the presence of artillery behind the opposing lines. ‘As the shells from both sides were failing well back of the trenches tliey constituted no menace to Tarzan; but the noise of them and that of the rifle fire had a marked effect upon Numa, who crouched, trembling, close to the ‘Tarmangani as though seeking pro- tection. Cautiously’ the two beasts moved forward toward the listening post of the Germans, In ope hand Tarzan carried the bomb the English had given him, in the other was the colled rope attached to the lion, At last Tarzan could see the position a few yards ahead, His keen eyes picked out the head and shoulders of the sentinel on watch, The &pe-man grasped the bomb firmly in his ribht hand, He measured the dis tance with his eye and gathered hi feet beneath him, then in a single motion he rose and threw the missile, immedlately flattening himself prone upon the ground. ‘Five seconds later there was a ter- rifie explosion in the centor of the listening p Numa guye a nervous start and attempted to break away; but Tarzan held him and leaping to his feet ran forward dragging Numa after him.

Then ‘Numa balked, only to feel the sharp prick of Tarzan’s knife point in his hind quarters, Goading him on the ape-man finally succeeded in get- ting the lion sufficiently far into the tunnel so that there ws no chance of his escaping other than by going forward or deliberately backing into the shanp blade at his rear, Then Tarzan out the bags from the great hind feet, placed his shoulder and his knife ‘point against Numa’s seat. dug his toes into the loose earth that had been broken up by the explosion of the bomb, and shoved. Inch by inch at first Numa ad- vanced. He was growling now and presently he commenced to roar. Suddenly he leaped forward and Ta: zan knew that he had caught the scent of meat ahead. Dragging the machine gun beside him, the ape-man followed quickly after the lion, whose roars he could plainly hear ahead mingled with the unmistakable screams of frightened men. Once again a grim smile touched the lips of this man-beast. “They murdered my Waziri," he muttered; “they crucified Wasimbu, son of Muviro! When Tarzan reached the trench 6 |and emerged into it there was no one in sight in that particular bay, nor in the next, nor the next as he hur- ried forward in the direction of the German centre; but in the fourth bay he saw a dozen men jammed in the angle of the traverse at the end while leaping upon them and rending with talons and fangs was Numa, terrific incarnation of ferocity and ravenous hunger, Whatever held the men at last way as they fought madly with janother in their efforts to escape th! dread creature that from their in- fancy had filled them with terror, and again they were retreating. Som clamibered over the parados and some even over the parapet, preferring th dangers of No Man's Land to this other soul-searing menace. As the British advanced slowly toward the German trenches they first met terrified blacks who ran into their arms only too willing to surren- der, That pandemonium had broken loose in the trench was apparent to the Rhodesians not only from the appearance of the deserters but from the sounds of screaming, oursing men which came clearly to thelr ears; but there way one ,that baffled them, for it resembled ‘hothing more closely than the infuriated growling of an angry lion. And when at last they reached the trench, those furthest on the left of the advancing Britishers heard a ma- chine gun sputter suddenly before them and saw a huge lion leap over the German parados with the body of screaming soldier between his jaws and vanish into the shadows of the night, while squatting upon a traverse to bheir left was. Tarzan of the Apes with a machine gun before him with which he was raking the length of the German trenches. ‘The foremost Rhodesians aaw some- thing else—they saw a huge German officer emerge from a dugout just in rear of the ape-man. They saw him snatch up a discarded rifle with bayo- ve e ently unconscious Tarzan. They ran forward, shouting warnings; but above the pandemonium of the trenches and the machine gun their voices could not reach him, The German leaped upon the parapet be- hind him—the fat hands raised the rifle butt aloft for the cowardly down- | ward thrust into the naked back, and jthen, as moves Ara, the lightning, moved Tarzan of the Apes. It was no man who leaped forward upon that Boche officer, striking aside the sharp bayonet*as one might trike aside @ straw in a baby's hand —It was a wild beast and the roar of a wild beast was upon those s«vage lips, for as that strange sense that Tarzan owned in common with the other jungle-bred creatures of his wild don warned him of the pres- him and he had whirled attack, his eyes had seen regiment Untamed | hrilling and Sensational Story net fixed and creep upon the appar-| ¢ insignia (Read to-morrews ! | iy i] | upon the other’s blouse—it was tht same as that worn by the mi Of hls wite and hie people, by the spoilers of his home and his ness, was a wild beast whose fastened upon the shoulder of Boche—it was.a wild beast whose tak ong sought that fat neck.
