For a long minute the officers stood with tensed nerves, every eye rivetted upon the bushes from whence the ominous sound had issued. Each re- called recent mysterious disappear- ances from the heart of camps as wel! as from lonely outguards. Rach thought 6f the silent dead he had seen, slain almost within sight ‘of their fellows by some unseen cr2a- ture. ‘They thought of the marks upon dead throats—made by talons or by giant fingers, they could not tell which—and those upon shoulders and jugulars where powerful teeth had fastened, and they waited with drawn pistols. Once the bushes moved almost \.n- perceptibly and an instant later one of the officers, without warning, fired into them; but Tarzan of the Aves was not there. In the interval be- tween the moving ef the bushes and the firing of the shot he had melted into the night. Ten minutes later he was hovering on the outskirts.of that part of camp where were bivouacked for the night the black soldiers of a native company commanded by one Hauptmah Fritz Schneider. The :nen were stretched upon the ground with- out tents; but there were tents pitched for the officers. Toward these ‘Tarzan crept. “It was sfow and peril- ous work, as the Germans were now upon the alert for the uncanny foc that crept into their camps to take his toll by night, yet the apé-man passed their sentinels, eluded the vix- {lance of the interior guard, and crevt at last to the rear of the officers’ line. Here he flattened himself against the ‘ground ¢lose behind the nearest tent and listened.

The shadow of a falling leaf, floating gently to earth upon a still day, could have been no more soundiess. He moved to the side of the sleeping man and bent low over him, He could not know, of course, whether it was Schneider or another, as he had never seen Schneider; but he meant to know and to know even more.

An hour gater he was outside the German camp and headed for the 1 tle hill town of Wilhelmstal, the sum- mer seat of government of German East Africa. Fraulein Bertha Kircher was lost. She was humiliated, and angry—it was long before she would admit it, that she, who prided herself upon her woodcraft, was lost in this little patch pf country between the Pan- gant and the Tanga railway. She knew that Wilhelmstal lay southeast of her about fifty miles; but, through a combination of untoward circum- stances, she found herself unable to determine which was southeast. In the first place she had set out from German headquarters on a well- marked road that was being traveled by troops and with every reason to believe that .she would follow that road to Wilhelmstal, Later she had been warned from this road by word that a strong British patrol had come down the west bank of the Pangani, effected a crossing south of her, and was even then marching on the railway at Tonda, After leaving the road’ she found | herself in thick bush and as the sky was heavily overcast she presently | had recourse to her compass and it was not until then that she discov- ered to her dismay that she did not have it with her.

During all that time the lion did not roar again; but there was jconstantly the sensation that it was creeping upon her. Agatn and again she would start and turn to peer 4 into the blackness beyond the trees behind her as her’ overwrought nerves conjured the stealthy fall of padded feet. She held the rifle across her knees at the ready now and she was trembling from head to foot. Suddenly her horse raised his hi and snorted, and with a little ery the girl sprang to her feet. The animal turned and trotted back toward her until the picket rope brought him to a stand, and then he wheeled about and with ears up-pricked gazed out into the night; but the girl could neither see nor hear aught.

Light-hearted ai unsuspecting the girl rode ross the clearing toward the bush while directly be- fore her two yellow-green eyes glared round and terrible, a tawny tail twitched nervously and great, padded paws. gathered beneath a sleek barfel fer a mighty spring. The horse was almost at the edge of the bush when Numa, the lion, launched himself through the air. H. struck the animal's right shoulder a the instant that it reared, terrified, to wheel in flight.
