The ape-man shrugged his shou'- ders, “One must die some time,” he said. “To you doubtless it may seem terrible—such a death; but Tarzan of the Apes has always expected to go out in some such way. Few of us die of old age in the jungle, nor should I care to die thus. Some day Numa will get me, or Sheeta, or a black warrior. These or some of the others. What difference does it make ‘which it ts, or whether it comes to-night or next year or in ten years?

Smith-Oldwick was doz- ing against the rocky wall of the cav- ern entrance while the girlsexhausted by the excitement and fatigue of the day, had fallen into deep slumber. An instant after Tarzan arose, Smith- Oldwick and the girl were arous by a volley of thunderous roars at the noise of many padded feet rush- ing toward them. arsan of the Apes stood directly before the entrance to the cavern, his knife in his hand, awaiting the charge. ‘The ape-man had not ex- pected any such concerted action as ‘he now realized had been taken by those watching them. He had known joined those who were with the lions earlier in the evening, and when he arose to his feet it was because he knew that the lions and the men were moving cautiously closer to him and his y. He migh eluded u . for he had seen that the face of the cliff rising above the mouth of the cavern might be scaled by as good a climber as himself. It might have been wiser had he tried to escape, for he knew that in the face of such odds even he was help- less, but he stood his ground though I doubt if he could have told why. He owed nothing either of duty or friendship to the girl sleeping in the cavern, nor could he jonger be of any rotection to her or her companion. Yor something held him there futile self-sacrifice. The great Tarmangeni had not even the satisfaction of striking a blow in self-defense. A veritable avalanche of savage rolled over bim and threw him heavily to the ground. In falling hig head struck the rocky sur- face of the cliff, stunning him. light when he regained . The first dim im- ression borne to his awakening mind was a confusion of savage sounds which gradually resolved themselves into the growling of lions, and then, little by little, there came back to him the recollections of what had preceded the blow that had felled him, Strong in his nostrils was the scent of Numa, the lion, and against one naked leg he could feel the coat of some animal. Slqwly Tarzan opened his eyes. He was lyin on his side and as he looked down his: body, he eaw that a great lion stodd straddling him—a great lion who growled hide- ously at something which Tarzan could not see. eh h the full return of his senses Patani nose told him that the beast above him was Numa of the Wamabo pit. Thus reassured, the ape-man spoke to the lion and at the same time made a motion as though he would arise, Immediately Numa . stepped from above him. As Tarzan raised his head, he saw that he still lay where he had fallen before the open- ing of the cliff where the girl had been sleeping and that Numa, backed against the cliffside, was apparentiy defending him from two other lions who paced ta and fro a short distance from their intended yictim. ‘And then Tarzan turned his eyes into the cave and saw that the girl and Smith-Oldwick were gone. « His efforts and sacrifices had been for naught. With an angry toss of his head, the ape-man turned upon the two lions who had continued to pace back and forth a few yards from him, Numa of the lion pit turned a friendly glance in Tarzan's direction, rubbed his head against the ape-man's side and then directed his snarling countenance toward the two hunters. “| think,” sald Tarzan to Numa, “that you and I together can make these beasts very unhappy.” He spoke in English, which, of course, Numa did not undegstand at all, but there must have been something re- assuring in the tone, for Numa whined pleadingly and moved impatiently to and fro parallel with their antago- nists. “Come,” said Tarzan suddenly, and, grasping the lion's mane with his left hand, he moved forward toward the other jions, his companion pacing at his side, As the two advanced the others drew slowly back and, finally separating, moved off to either side, Tarzan and Numa passed between them, but neither the great black- maned lion nor the man failed to him, so that they were not caught un- awares when, a8 though at some pre- concerted ‘signal, the two cats charged |simuitaneousiy from opposite direc- tions. The ape-man met the charge of his | antagonist after the same fashion of {fighting that he had been accus- | tomed’ to employing in previous en- jeounters with Numa and Sheeta, To |have attempted to meet the full shock of a lion's charge would have been suicidal even for the giant Tar- mangani. Instead he resorted to \methods of agility and cunning, for quick as are the great cats, even quicker is Tarzan of the Apes. ‘With outspread, raking talons and bared fangs Numa sprang for the paked chest of the ape-man. Throw. | 'ng up his left arm as a boxer might ward off a blow, Tarzan struck up- ward beneath the left forearm of the Hon, at the same time rushing in with his shoulder beneath the ani- mais body and, simultaneously drove his blade into the tawny hide behind the shoulder, With a roar of pain Numa wheeled again, tite sonification of beastial N indeed would he exterminate this pre sumptuous man-thing who dared even to think that he could thwart the kipg of beasts in his desires.. But aw he’ wheeled, his intended ~ quarry wheeled: with him, brown fingers locked in the heavy mane on the powerful neck and again the blade struck deep into the lion's side, Then it was that Numa went mad with hate and pain and at the same instant the his pack, Ea: locked his legs beneath the belly of a lion while he clung to its long mane and stabbed it until his point reached _/ its heart. So easy it had seemed be- fore that he experienced a sharp feeling of resentment that he was un- able to do so now, for the quick movements of the lion prevented him and presently, to his dismay, as the lion leaped and threw him about, the ape-man realized that he was swing- ing Inevitably beneath those frightful talons., With a final effort he threw him- uma’s back and sought, * drew his long blade from | by his quickness, to elude the fren- zied beast for the fraction of an stant that would permit him to regain his feet and meet the animal again upon a more even footing. But this tme Numa was too quick for him and he was but partially up when a ‘nd | Sreat paw struck him on the aide of the head and bowled him over. As he fell he saw a black streak’ shoot above him and another lion close upon bis antagonist. Rolling from beneath the two battling ‘fons Tarzan regained his feet, though he al staggering from the impact of the terrible blow he had received.

The battling beasts made a few feints and passes at each other before the larger succeeded in fastening his fangs in the other’s throat and then, as acatshakes a mouse, the larger lion shook the lesser, and when his dying « foe sought to roll beneath and rake his conqueror with his hind claws, the other met him halfway at his own game, and as the great talons buried themselves in the lower part of the other's chest and then were raked downward with all the terrific ie} “ in| strength of the mighty hind legs, the battle was ended. As Numa rose from his second vie- tim and shook himself Tarzan could not but again note ‘The Hons they had bested were splen- did specimens themselves, and in their coats Tarzan noticed a suggea- tion of the black which was such a strongly marked characteristic of Numa of the pit. Their manes were just a trifle darker than an ordinary ‘black-maned lion, but the tawny shade on the balance of their coats predominated. However, the ape- man realized that they were a dis- tinct species from any he had seen. as though they had sprang originally » from a cross between the forest lion of his acquaintance and a breed «€ which Numa of the pit might be typical. The forest teemed with life and yet there was borne in upon the ape-man a sense of unutterable loneliness, a sensation that he never before had felt in his beloved jungles. There unreality in eve! ing about him- in the valley itself, lying hidden and forgotten in what was supposed to be an arid waste. The birds and the monkeys, while similar jn type to many with which he was familiar, ‘were identical with none, nor wae the vegetation without {ts tdiosyncrastes. It was as though he had been sud- denly transported to another world and he felt a strange restlessness that easily. might have been a pre- monition of danger. Fruits were growing among the trees and some of these he saw that Manu, the monkey, ate. Being hungry he swung to the lower branches and amidet a great chattering of the proceeded to eat such of the he saw the monkeys ate in safety, When he had partially satis- fied his hunger, for meat alone could not fully do #0, he looked about him for Numa of the pit, to discover that the lion had gone. The immediate obstruction in hie way having been removed, Tarzan was for setting out in search of the spoor of the girl and Smith- Oldwick that he might discover thelr fate, He suddenly found himself tre- mendously hungry and as he clroled about over the sandy bottom, search. ing among the tangled network of innumerable tracks for those of his proteges, there broke from his lips involuntarily the whine of a hungry beast. Immediately Numa of the pit pricked up his ears and, regarding the ape-man steadily for a moment, he answered the call of hunger and started briskly off toward the south, stopping occasionally to see if Tar- zan was following, ‘The ape-~man realized that the beast was jeading bim to food, and so he followed and as he followed his keen eyes and sensitive nostrils sought for some indication of the direction taken by the man and the girl. Prea- ently out of the mass of lion fracks keep an eye upon the beast nearer | Tarzan picked up those of many sandled feet and the scent spoor of the members of the strange race such as had been with the lions the night before, and then faintly he caught the scent spoor of the girl and a little later-that of Smith-Old- wick, Presently the tracks thinned and here those of the girl and the Englishman became well marked. They had been walking aide by ai and there bad been men and iio! to the right and left of them, and men and lions in front and behind. ‘The Ape-man was puzzled by the pos- sibilities suggested by the tracks, but in the light of any previous experi- ence he could not explain satisfac. torily to himself what heeioataa ‘8 perceptions (Be ie Cvailnued)
