Presently the bottom cf the gl began to slope more rap‘dly. Here and there were indications of ancient rapids and waterfalls. The trall became more dificult but was well marked and showed indications ‘of great antiquity and in places the I handiwork: of’man. ‘They had pro- ' ceeded for a half or three-quarters of a mile when, at a turning of the gorge, Tarzan saw before him a narrow val- ley cut deep intd the living rock of the earth's crust with lofty mountain bounding it upon the south. How far it extended cast and west he could not see, but apparently it was mo more than three or four miles across from north,to south. That it was a well-watered valley was indicated by the wealth of vege- tation that carpeted its floor from the rocky cliffs upon the north to the mountains on the south. Over the edge of the cliffs from B foror! the ape-man viewed the valley trail had been hewn that led dewn- ward to the base. Preceded by the lion Tarzan descended into the valley which, at this point, was forested with large trees. Before him the trail wound onward toward the centre of the valley. Raucous-voiced birds of brilliant plumage screamed among the branches while innumerable monkeys chattered and erolded above him. The forest teemed with life and yet there was borne in upon the ape-man &@ sense of ynutterable loneliness, a sensation that he never before had felt in his beloved jungles. There was unreality in everything about hin.— in the valley itself, lying hidden and forgotten in what was supposed to be an arid waste. The birds and the monkeys, while .similar in type to many with which he was familiar, were identical with none, nor was the vegetation without its idiosyn- crasies. It was as’ though he nad been suddenly transported to an- other world and he felt a strange restlessness that might easily have beon a premonition of danger. Fruits were growing among the trees and some of these he saw that of the Ape Man. Pression on her, The man who im- mediately preceded her was m® fellov of powerful bulld, yet. when a brill- fantly colored parrot swooped down- ward toward him he dropped upon his knees and covering his face with his arms bent forward until his head touched the ground. Some of the others looked at him and laughed nervously. Presently the man glancud upward and see.ng that the bird hac gone, rose to his feet and continued along the trail. It was &t this brief halt that Smith- Oldwick was brought to her side oy the men who had been supporting him. He had been rather badly mauled by one of the lions; but was now able to walk alone, though ne was extremely weak’from shock aad loss of blood. Pretty mess, what?” he remarked with a wry smile, indicating - tis bloody and disheveled state. “It is terrible,” said the girl. “I hope you are not suffering.” “Not as much as I should have ex- Pected,” he replied, “but I foel as weak as @ fool. What’ sort of croa: tures are these beggars, anyway “I don't know,” she replied, “there is something terribly uncanny about their appearance. The man regarded one of thetr captors closely for a moment, and then, turning to the girl, asked, “Did you ever visit a madhouse?” She looked up at him in quick un- derstanding and with a horrified Pression in her eyes. “That's it!” she cried. : “They all have the ear-marks,” he of the eyes showing irises, hair growing stiffly erect from the scalp and low down upon the forehead—even their mannerisms and their carriage: are those of maniacs.” The girl shuddered, For a while as they walked side by side their thoughts and conversation centred upon this latest experience, until the trail emerging from the for, est opened to their view a walled city and an area of cultivated Jand. Neither could suppress an exclamation of sur- prise. . * “Why, that wall is .. regular en- sincering Job,” exciaimed Smith-Old- ick. “And look at the domes and mina- rete of the city "cried the girl, “They must be civilized people beyond that wall. bly we are fortunate to have ‘fallen into their hands.’ Smith-Oldwick shrugged his should- ers, “I hope 60,” he said, “though | am not-at all sure Sout people who travel about with loms and are afraid Manu, the monkey, ate. ping bene he swung to the lower branches amidst a great chattering of the monkeys, proceeded to eat such of the fruit as he saw the monkeys ate in aey, When he had partially sa1is- his hunger, for meat alone could fully do so, he looked about him for Numa of the p‘t to discover that the ion had gone, CHAPTER XVIIL. § the lions swarmed over her) + protectors, Bertha Kircher) shrank back.in the cave in| a momentary paralysis of fright superinduced, perhaps, by tho) long days of terrific nerve strain which she had undergone.

The man who seized her kept the lions from her with what ap- peared to be a stout spear, the hoft of which he used to beat off the beasts. The fellow dragged her from the cavern the while he shouted what appeared to be commands and warn- ings to the lions. Once out upon the light sands of the bottom of the gorge objects be- came more Penge and then she saw that there were other men in the party and that two half led and half carried the stunfbling. figure of a third, whom she guessed must be Smith-Oldwick. For a he lions nmade frenzied efforts to reach the two captives but always the men with them succeede in beating them off. The fellows seemed utterly unafraid of the great Lines d snarling about ling them much the same treperous dogs. Along the bed of the ‘old watercourse that once ran througo the gorge they made their way, and as the first faint lightening of the eastern horizon presaged the coming dawn, they paused for a moment upon nt of a declivity, which ap- peared to the girl in thi range Jight of the waning night as a vast bottom- ‘ue lieas pit; but as their captors resumed their way and the light of the new mj|day became stronger, sho saw that they were moving downward toward @ dense forest.

There must be something wrong with them.” The party followed the trail across the field to an arched whieh opened at the summons’of one of their captors who beat upon the heavy wooden panels with his spear. Beyond the gate opened into a narrow street which seemed but a continuation, of the jungle trail leading from the fo: est. Buildings on either. hand ad- joined the wall and fronted the nar- row, windii street which was only visible for a short distance ahead. ‘The houses were ‘practically all two-storied structures, the upper stories flush with | the street while the walls of the fir: story were set back some ten feet, series of simple columns and arc! supporting the front of the second story and forming an arcade on either side of the narrow thoroughfare, The pathway in the centre of’ the street was unpaved, but the fi the arcades were cut stone of various shapes and gizes but all carefully fitted and laid without mortar, These floors gave evidence of great antiquity, thero being a distinct depression down the centre as though the stone had been worn away by the passage of count- less sandaled feet during’the ages “bat it had lain there. ‘There were tew people astir a; this arly hour, and these were of the same tfpe as their captors. At first those whom they saw were only men, but as they went deeper into the city they came upon a few naked children laying in the soft dust of the road- Many they passed showed greatest surprise and curfosity in prisoners, and often made inquiries of the guards, which the two assumed must have been in relation to them- selves, while others appeared not to notice them .at all. ‘ "IT wish we could understand their pally language,” exclaimed Smith- Oldwick. “Yes,” said the girl, “I would like to ask them what they are going to do with us.” ‘Their captors led them along the pavement beside the lagoon for @ distance and then through an arched doorway into one of the build- ings facing the avenue. Here, direct- ly within the entrance, was a large room furnished with massive benches and tables, many of which were ¢lab- orately hand carved with the figures of the inevitable parrot, the lion or the monkey; the parrot always pre- dominating. Behind one of the tables sat a man who ¢iffered in no way that the cap- tives ‘could discover from those who accompanied them. Before this per- son the party: halted and one «f the men who had brought them made what seemed to be an oral report. Whether they were before a judge, a military offter or a civil dignitary they could not know, but evidently he was a man of authority, for after ening t6 whatever recital was be- ing made to him, the while he cl.sely ruunized the two captives, he made a single futile attempt to converse with them and then issued some curt orders to him who had made vbe re- port, 7 Almost lenfood ately Soro of the men approached Bertha Kircher and sig- naled her to accompany them, sm: Qldwick started to follow her, but was interrupted by one of the guards. The girl stopped then and turned back, at the same time looking at the man at the table and making and loud chattering about them. In; numerable monkeys scolded and scl in the branches overhead while harsh-voiced birds of brilliant darted hither and thither, he nol presently that their cap- rehensive the birds and on seemed to ith her hands, indicating, as best Smith-Old . but the fellow only shook his head negatively and motioned to the guards to remove her.

So far with the single exception of the attack made upon him they had no reason to believe that they might not receive fair treatment from their captors, and so he reasoned that it might be wiser to avoid antagonizing them until such a time as he becam thoroughly convinced that their im tentions were entirely hostile. He saw the girl led from the building and just before she disappeared from his view she turned and wayed her hand to him: “Good luck!” gone. , The lions that had entered the building with the party had, during » their examination by the man at the table, been driven from the apartment through a doorway behind hin. ‘Toward this same doorway two of the men now led Smith-Oldwick. Ho found himself in a long corridor frotw the sides of which other doorways openetl, presumably into other apart- | ments of the building. At the far end’ | of the corridor he saw a heavy grat- ing beyond which appeared ap open courtyard. Into this’ courtyard the prisoner was conducted, and as he en- tered it with the two guards he found. himself in an opening which was bounded by the inwer walls of the, building. It was in the nature of garden in whicn a number of trees and flowering shrubs grew. Beneath several of the trees wéve benches and there was a berich along the south wall, but what aroused his most im- mediate attention was the fact that the lions which had assisted in their capture and which had accothpanied them upon the return to gpe city, lay sprawled about upon the ground or wandered restlessly to and fro.’ Just inside the gate his guard halted. The two men exchanged & few words and then turned and re- entered the corridor. The Englishman / was horror stricken as the full realiza. tion of his terrible plight forced itself upon his tired brain. He turned and, seized the grating in an attempt to open it and gain the safety of th corridor, but he found it securely locked against his every effort, and then he called aloud to the retreating figures of the men within. The only reply he received was a high-pitched, mirthless laugh, and then the two passed through the doorway at the far end of the corridor and alone with the lions. she cried, and wae CHAPTER XIX. 'N the mean time Bertha beh was conducted the length.of the Plaza toward the largest and most Pretentious of the buildings sur- rounding it. This edifice covered the entire width of one end of the plaza, It was several stories in height, the main entrance being approached by a wide flight of stone steps, the bottons \of which was guarded by enormous stone lions, while at the top there were two pedestals flanking the entrance and of the same height, upon each gf which was the stone image of a large parrot. As the girl neared these lat- | ter images she saw that the capital of each column was hewn into the som- blance of a human skull upon which the parrots perched: Above the arched rway and upon the walls of the building were the figures of other par- rots, of lions and of monkeys. Som of these were carved in bas-relief: others were delineated in mosaics, while still others appeared to have been painted upon the surface of the wall. ‘Through three other chambers ond past three more massive doors, at each. . of which her guard was changed, the |girl was conducted before she was ushered into a comparatively small room, back and forth across the floor of which paced a man in a scarlet tunic, upon the front and back of which was embroidered an enormous parrot and upon whose head was a barbaric headdress surmounted by @ stuffed parrot. The walls of this room were ‘en- tirely hidden by hangings upon which hundreds, even thousands, of parrots were embroidered. Inlaid in the floor were golden parrots, while as thickly as they could be painted upon the ceiling were brilliant-hued parrots with wings outspread though in the act of flying. ? ‘The man himself was larger of stat- ure than any she had yet seen within the city. His, parchinent-like skin was wrinkled with age and he waa, much fatter than any other of his ikind that she had seen. His bared arms, however, gave evidence of great strength and his gait was not that of an old man. His facial ex- pression denoted almost utter imbe- cility and-he Was quite the most re- pulsive human creature that ever Bertha Kircher had looked upon, ‘ For several minutes after she was conducted into his presence he ap- peared not to be aware that she was ther® but continued his restless pac- ing to and fro. Suddenly, without the slightest warning, and while he was at the far end of the room from her with his back toward her, he wheeled and rushed madly at her, Involuntarily the girl shrank back, extending her open palms toward the frightful creature as though to hold him aloof, but # man upon either side of her, the two who had con- ducted her into the apartment, seized and held her. Although he rushed violently toward her the man stopped without touching her. For a moment his horrid white- rimmed eyes glared searchingly into her face, immediately following which he burst into mahiacal laughter. For vo or three minutes the creature gave himself over to merriment and then, opping as suddenly «& he had com~ menced to lg he fell to, examining the prisonel felt of hér hair, skin, the texture of the garment she wore and by means of signs made her understand that she was to open her mouth. In the latter he seemed much interested, calling the attention of one of the guards to her canlae, teeth and then baring his own sharp tangs for the prisoner to see, |” Presently he resumed pacing to and fro across the floor, and it was fully f'fteen minutes before he again theed the prisoner, and then it w: to issue & curt order to her guard; who immediately conducted her from the apartment. »
