TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS "TARZAN APES”

syvopmp Tanar 1* * young warrior of Sari, a eoontrv In Polluetdar. a strange inner world somewhere beneath the earth's •rust A horde of savages, calling therapives Korsars, and coming from across •f) unknown sea. invade Pellucidar. and though repulsed, sail awav with man:? prisoners, including Tanar. Tanar Is summoned before The Cld. chief of the Korsars, who offers him hla freedom if he will teach the Korsars how to make the superior weapons and gunowwder that had been used against them bv his countrymen. Tanar. seising the chance to gain time to find means of escape for his companions and himself, accepts The Cid's bargain. CHAPTER TWO < Continued) “You are too beautiful and too fine.” he replied. ‘‘You have shown sympathy and that Is a finer sentiment far beyond their mental capability. They are ” “Be careful, enemy; perhaps I am a Korsar!” ‘‘l do not believe It,” said Tanar. ‘‘Then keep your beliefs to yourself, prisoner,” retorted the girl in a haughty tone. “What is this?” demanded a rough voice behind Tanar. “What has this thing said to you, Stellara?” Tanar wheeled to face Bohar the Bloody. ‘‘l questioned that she was of the same race as you,” snapped Tanar before the girl could reply. “It is inconceivable that one so beautiful could be tainted by the blood of Korsar ” u a a HIS face flaming with rage, Bohar laid a hand upon one of his knives and stepped truculently tov.ard the Sarian. “It is death to insult the daughter of The Cid,” he cried, whipping the knife from his sash and striking a wicked blow at Tanar. The Sarian, light of foot, trained lroni childhood in the defensive as well as offensive use cf edged weapons, stopped quickly to one side and then as quickly in again and once more Bohar the Bloodysprawled upon the deck to a welldelivered blow. Bohar fairly was foaming at the mouth with rage as he jerked his heavy pistol from his gaudy sash and aiming it at Tanar’s chest irom where he lay upon the deck, pulled the trigger. At the same instant the girl sprang forward as though to prevent the slaying of the prisoner. It all happened so quickly that Tanar scarcely knew he sequence oi events, but what he did know was that the powder failed to ignite, end then he laughed. “You would beter wait until I have taught you how to make powder that will burn before you try to murder me, Bohar,” he said. The Bloody One scrambled to his feet and Tanar stood ready to receive the expected charge, but the girl stepped between them. “Enough of this!” she cried. “It is The Cid’s wish that this man live. Would you like to have The Cid know that you tried to pistol him, Bohar?” Tile Bloody One stood glaring at Tanar for several seconds, then he wheeled and strode away. <t should seem that Bohar does nut like me,” said Tanar, smiling. “He dislikes nearly every one,” said Stellara; “but he hates you—now.” “Because I knocked him down, I (suppose.” “That is not the real reason,” said tho girl. “What is, then?” outt SHE hesitated and then she laughed. “He te jealous. Bohar wants me for his mate.” “But why should he be jealous of me?” Stallara looked Tanar up and down and then she laughed again. “I do not know,” she said. “You are not much of a man beside our huge Korsars—with your beardless face and your small waist.” To Tanar her tone implied thinly veiled contempt and it piqued him, but why it should he did not know and that annoyed him, too. What was she but the savage daughter of a savage, boorish Korsar? When he had first learned from Bohar's lips that she was the daughter and not the mate of The Cid, he had felt an unaccountable relief, half unconsciously and without at all attempting to analyze his reaction. “Perhaps it was the girl’s beauty that had made such a relationship with 'The Cid seem repulsive, perhaps it was her lesser ruthlessness, which seemed superlative gentleness by contrast with the brutality of Bohar and The Cid, but now she seemed capable of a refined cruelty, which was, after all, what he might have expected to find in one form or another in the daughter of the chief of the Korsars.

As one will, when piqued, and Just at random, Tanar loosed a bolt in the hope that It might annoy her. “Bohar knows you better than I,” he said; “perhaps he knew that he had cause for jealousy.” “Perhaps,” she replied, enigmatt-! cally, “but no one ever will know, for Bohar will kill you—l know him well enough to know that.” CHAPTER THREE UPON the timeless seas of Pellucidar a voyage may last for an hour or a year—taht depends not upon its duration, but upon the Important occurrences which mark its course. Curving upward along the inside of the arc of a great circle, tlie Korsar fleet plowed the restless sea. Favorable winds carried the ships onward. The noonday sun hung perpetually at zenith. Men ate when they were hungry, slept when they were tired, or slept against the time when sleep might be denied them, for the people of Pellucidar soon endowed with a faculty that permits them to store sleep, as it were, in times of ease, against the more strenuous periods of hunting and warfare when there is no opportunity for sleep. Similarly, they eat with unbelievable irregularity. Tanar had slept and eaten several times since his encounter with Bohar, whom he had seen upon various occasions since without an actual meeting. The Bloody. One seemed to be biding his time. Stellara had kept to her cabin with the old woman, who Tanar surmised was her mother. He wondered if Stellara would look like the mother or The Cid when she was older, and he shuddered when he considered either eventuality. As he stood thus musing, Tanar’s attention was attracted by the actions of the men of the lower deck. He saw them looking across the port bow and upward and, following the direction of their eyes with his, he saw the rare phenomena of a cloud in the brilliant sky. Someone must have notified The Cid at about the same time, for he came from his cabin and looked long and searchingly at the heavens. In his loud voice, The Cid bellowed commands and his wild crew scrambled to their stations like monkeys, swarming aloft or standing by on deck ready to do his bidding. Down came the great sails and reefed were the lesser ones, and throughout the fleet, scattered over the surface of the shining sea, the example of the commander was followed. The cloud was increasing in size and coming rapidly nearer. No longer was it a small white cloud that first had * attracted their attention, but a large, bulging, ominous, black mass that frowned down upon the ocean, turning it a sullen gray where the shadow ’ay. The wind, that had been blowing gently, ceased suddenly. The ship fell off and rolled in the trough of the sea. The silence that followed cast a spell of terror over the ship's company. u TANAR, watching, 6aw the change. If those rough, seafaring men blanched before the threat of the great cloud, the dagger must be great indeed. The Sarians were mountain people. Tanar knew little of the sea, but if Tanar feared anything on Pollucidar, it was the sea. The sight, therefore, of these savage Korsar sailors cringing in terror was far. from reassuring. 0 Someone had come to tlie rail and was standing at his side. “When that has passed,” said a voice, “there will be fewer ships in the fleet of Korsar and fewer men to go home to their women.” He turned and saw Stellara looking upward to the cloud. “You do not seem afraid,” he said. “Nor you,” replied the girl. “We seem the only people aboard who are not afraid.” “Look down at the prisoners,” he told her. “They show no fear ” “Why?” she asked. “They are Pollucidarians,” he replied. proudly. “We are all of Pollucidar,” she reminded him. “I refer to the Empire,” he said. “Why are you not afraid?” she asked. “Are you so much braver than the Korsars?” There was no sarcasm in her tone. “I am very much afraid,” replied Tanar. “Mine are mountain people—we know little of the sea or its ways.”

“But you show no fear,” insisted Stellara. “That Is the result of heredity and training,” he replied. “The Korsars show their fear,” she mused. She spoke as one who was of different blood. “They boast much of their bravery,” she continued as though speaking to herself, “but when the sky frowns they show fear.” There seemed a little note of contempt in her voice. “See!” she cried. "It is coming!" a tt n r T'HE cloud was tearing toward , them now and beneath it the sea was lashed to fury. Shreds of cloud whirled and twisted at the edges of the great cloud mass. Shreds of spume whirled and twisted above the angry waves. And then the storm struck the ship, laying it over on its side. What ensued was appalling to a mountaineer, unaccustomed to the sea—the chaos of watery mountains, tumbling, rolling, lashing at the wallowing ship; the shrieking wind; the driving, blinding spume; the terror-stricken crew, cowed, no longer swaggering bullies. Reeling, staggering, clutching at the rail, Bohar the Bloody passed Tanar, where he clung with one arm about a stanchion and the other holding Stellara, who would have been hurled to the dock, but for the quick action of the Sarian. The face of Bohar was an ashen mask against which the red gash of his ugly scar stood out in startling contrast. He looked at Tanar and Stellara. but he passed them by, mumbling to himself. 1 Beyond them was The Cid, screaming orders that no one could hear. Toward him Bohaf made his way. Above the storm Tanar heard The Bloody One screaming at his chief. “Save me! Save me!” he cried. “The boats—lower the boats! The ship is lost.” It was apparent, even to a landsman, that no small boat could live in such a sea, even if one could have been lowered, The Cid paid no attention to his lieutenant, but clung where he was, bawling commands. A mighty sea rose suddenly above the bow; it hung there for an instant and,then rolled in upon the lower deck—tons of crushing, pitiless, insensate sea—rolled in upon the huddled, screaming seamen. Naught but the high prow and the lofty foot showed above the angry waves—just for an instant the great ship strained and shuddered, battling for life. “It is the end!” cried Stellara. Bohar screamed like a dumb brute into the agony of death. The Cid knelt on the deck, his face buried ih his arms. Tanar stood watching, fascinated by the terrifying might of the elements. He saw men shrink to puny insignificance before a gust of wind, and a slow smile crossed his face. (To be continued) (Copyright. 1931. by Metropolitan Newspaper Feature Service.

Warning his followers to silence, Tarzan led them toward the barracks of the Colosseum guard where were quartered the men of Praeclarus’ own cohort. Swarming close to Tarzan were the giant apes—Gayat, Zutho and Goyad—gnd their three fellow apes. To the blacks thes pes appeared to be ghosts of great warriors.

At the barracks Maximus Praeclarus addressed the legionaires whom he had until recently commanded. Mutiny had long been rife in the ranks and now they welcomed the opportunity to follow the young patrician, whom they loved, to the very gates of the plaace of Caesar, even if failure meant death as rebeie.
