ably entirely different from anything In
his past experience! yet he was wis?
enougn to Know when discretion wfli
tho better nart of valor, and now, a. In
tho past, ha yielded to that law which
dominate tho kindred of the wild, pre
vontlng them from courting danger use
lessly, whoie Uvph nro sufficiently filled
with dnnger In their ordinary routine
of feeding and mating.
An the rising sun dispelled tho
shadows of the iilnht. Tarxan found
himself again upon the verge of a great
lorest into winch his guide plunged,
tnklng nimbly to tho branches of the
trees through which ho made his way
with the Celerity of long habitude and
hereditary Instinct, but thoueh nldcd by
n prehenslla tall, fingers mid toes, tho
man-thing moved through the forest
with no greater ease or surety than din
tho giant npo-mnn.
It wax durino- thU lourney thnt Tar
xan recalled tho wound In his sldo In
flicted upon him the previous night by
tho raking talons of Nuinn, tho Hon,
and examining lb was surprised to dis
cover that not only was It painless, but
nlong Its edges were no lndlcntlon of
Inflammation, the results doubtless of
tho antiseptic powder his strange com
panion had sprinkled upon It.
They luiil proceeded for a mile or two
when Tarxan s companion came to earth
upon a grassy slope beneath n great
tree whoso brnnches overhung n clear
brook.
Here they drank, and Tarxan discov
ered the wafer to W not only deliriously
pure and fresh, but of an Icy tempera
turn that Indicated Its rapid descent
from the lofty mountains of its origin.
Casting OHlde bin loin cloth and wcap
onn Tarxan entered the little pool be
neath the tree and after n moment
emerged, greatly refreshed and filled
with a keen desire to breakfast. As ho
came out of the pool he noticed ills
compniilon examining him with a pux
zled expression upon his face. Taltlng
the ape-man by the shoulder he turned
him around so that Tnrxnn'H back was
toward him and then, touching the end
of Torxan's spine with his forefinger,
lie curled his own tall up over his
shoulder and, wheeling tho apo-man
about nguln, pointed first at Tarxan
mid then at his own caudal appendage,
it look of puzzlement upon his face, the
while he Jabbered excitedly In his
stranffo tongue.
Tho apo-man realized thnt proooniy
for the first time his companion had
discovered that he was talltess by nature
rather than by accident, and so he
called attention to his own great toes
and thumbs to further lmnrcss unon
tho creature that they were of different
specie..
Tho fellow shook his head dubiously.
ns though entirely unable to compre
hend why Tarxan should differ so from
him, but nt last, apparently giving the
problem up with n shrug, he laid aside
Ills own harness, skin and weapons
and entered tho pool.
His nblutloriH completed and his
meager apparel redonucd he seated him
self nt the foot of the tree and, mo
tioning Tarxan to a place beside him,
opened the pouch that hung at hW right
side, taking from It strip of dried flesh
mul a couple of handfultt of thin
shelled nuts with which Torzan was
unfamiliar. Heclns: the other break
them with his teeth and eat tho kernel,
Tarxan followed tho examplo thus set
him, discovering the meat to be rich
and well flavored. The dried flesh also
una far from unpalatable, though it had
evlently been jerked without salt, a
commodity which Tarxan Imagined
might be rather difficult to obtain iu
this locality.
As they ate Tarzan'n companion
pointed to the nuts, the dried meat and
uirlouN other nearby objects, in each
instance repeating what Tarxan readily
ditcovered must be the. names of these
filings In the creature's native lan
guage. Tho apii-man could but smile
at this evident desire upon the part of
ins new-round acquaintance to impart
to him Instructions that eventually
might lead to an exchange of thoughta
between them. Having already mas
tered several languages and a multitude
ol dialects the ape-man felt thnt he
could readily assimilate another cveli
though this appeared one entirely unre
lated to any with which he was fnmlllar.
So occupied were they with their
DreaKfast and the lesson that neither
wan awnro of the beady eyes glittering
down unon them from above: nor was
Tarxun cognizant of nny impending dan-
gcr until too instant that a huge, hairy
body leaped full upon his compunlon
from tho branches above them.

CHAI'TEK II
"To tho Death I"
In the moment of discovery Torzan
saw that tho creature was almost a
counterpart of his companion In size
und conformation, with the exception
that his body wan entirely clothed with
a coat of shaggy black hair which al
most concenled Ills features, while his
harness and weapons were similar to
those of the creature he had attacked.
Ere Tar.an could prevent, the creature
had struck the apo-man companion a
blow upon the head with his knotted
club that felled him, uncontclous, to the
earth ; but before he could Inflict fur
ther injury upon his defenseless prey
the ane-mnn had cloved with him.
ItiHtiuilly Tnrzan realized that he was
locked with n creature of almost super
human strength. The sinewy fingers
of n powerful hand sought his throat
while the other lifted the bludgeon above
his head. Hut if the strength of the
hairy attacker wiih great, great, too,

tagonist. Swinging a single terrific
blow with clenched (1st to the point of
tho other's chin, Tnrzan momentarily
staggered hie assailant, and then his own

the ape-man saw his opportunity and ns

banks of which tho battle was progress
