tanar of pellucidar By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS “TARZAN OP*THsT APES”

ITNOm 1 -Tanar U a voung warrior of Sari, a i somewhere beneath the earth a ‘ r “sL Some yean before. David Innea his scientist# friend. Abner P-rry. r ‘*d Penetrated to Pellucidar from the outer world, and David had established himself as emperor of a certain region, tn, an invasion of a horde of savages railing themselves Korsars and coming from across an unknown sea. Tanar la oarriad away on one of their ships. ' Tanar finds a friend In Stellara. sup®Pe<llv the daughter of The Cld. chief S*. the Korsars. A terrific storm cornea ’to The Korsars. in a panic, take to ie email boats, leaving Tanar and Stellara behind. Tanar learns that Stellar* U not after all the daughter of The Cld. though the chief believes her to be. CHAPTER FOUR (Continued) "And the woman was not your mother?” "May the god* forbid!" she extlalmed. "But The Cld! He treated you like a daughter.” "He thought I was his daughter, but I am not." “I do not understand," said tTanar; yet I am glad that you are hot. I could not understand how you, who are so different from them, could be a Korsar.” mem '"MY mother was a native of the island of Amlocap, and there The Cld, raiding for women, seised her. She told me about It many times before she died. ‘‘Her mate was absent upon a great tandor hunt and she never naw him again. When I was born The Cld thought that I was his daughter, but my mother knew better, for I bore upon my left shoulder a small, red birthmark identical with one upon the left shoulder of the mate from whom she had been eiolen—my father. ‘‘My mother never told The Cld (►rue in accordance with the cusVcm the Korsars follow of destroying the children of their captives if a Korsar Is not the father.” "And the woman who was with you on board was not your mother?" "No; she was The Cld’s mate, but not my mother, who Is dead.” Tanar felt a distinct sense of relief that Stellara was not a Korsar, but why this should be so he did not know, or, perhaps did he attempt to analyze his feelings. "But why?” she asked. "Now we do not have to be enemies,” he replied. “Were we before?” He hesitated and then he laughed. 'T Was not your enemy,” he said, f, but you reminded me that you were gnlne.” "It has been the habit of a lifetime to think of myself as a Korsar,” exclaimed Stellara, "although I knew that I was not. I felt no enmity toward you.” "Whatever we may have been, we must of necessity be friends now,” he told her. "That will depend upon you,” she replied. CHAPTER FIVE blue waters of the great I sea known as Korsar Az wash the shores of a green Island far from the mainland —Amlocap, an Island of mystery and romance. Thus It appeared to the two survivors from the deck of the Korsar derelict drifting helplessly with the sluggish run of an ocean current and at the whim of vagrant winds They had been sleeping—for how long who may say in the measureless present of Pellucidar? Stellara was the first to come on deck from the cabin she had occupied next to that of The Cld. She looked about for Tanar, but not seeing him she let her eyes wander out over the upeurving expanse of water that merged In every direction with the blue-domed vault of the brilliant .dry, In the exact center of which hung the noonday sun. But suddenly her gaze was caught and held by something besides the illimitable waters and the ceaseless sun. She voiced a surprised and Joyous cry and. turning, ran across the deck toward the cabin which Tanar slept. "Tanar! Tanar!” she cried, pounding upon the paneled door. "Land. Tanar, land!” The door swung open and the Sarian stepped out upon the deck where Stellara stood pointing across the starboard rail of the drifting derelict. “The pleasant green of the soft foliage often hides terrible beasts and savage men,” Stellara reminded him. “But they are the dangers that I know—it is the unknown dangers of the sea that I do not like. lam not of the sea. I do not understand it. But there is something that I

do understand,” and he pointed toward the land. There was that in Tanar"! tone that caused Stellara to look quickly In the direction that he indicated. "Men!” she exclaimed. "There must be twenty of them in that canoe.” “And here comes another canoeful behind them.” From the mouth of a narrow cove the canoes were paddling out into the open sea. “Look!” cried Stellara. ""There are many more.” One after another, twenty canoes moved In a long column out upon the quiet waters and, as they drew steadily toward the ship, the survivors saw that each was filled with almost naked warriors. Short, heavy spears, bone tipped, bristled menacingly; stone knives protruded from every G-string, and stone hatchets swung at every hip.

A S the flotilla approached, Tanar went to a cabin and returned with two of the heavy pistols left behind when the ship had been abandoned. "Do you expect to repulse 400 warriors with those?” asked the girl. Tanar shrugged. "If they never have heard the report of a firearm, a few shots may suffice to frighten them away, for a time at least,” he explained, "and if we do not go on the shore the current will carry us away from them in time." “But suppose they do not frighten so easily? she demanded. "Then I can do my best with the crude weapons and the inferior powder of the Korsars,” he said. "Perhaps they will not be unfriendly*” suggested Stellara. Tanar laughed. Then they are not of Pollucidar,” he said, "but of some wondrous country inhabited by what Perry calls angols.’’ “Who is Perry?” she demanded. “I never heard of him.” "He is a madman who says that Pollucidar Is the inside of a hollow stone that Is as round as the strange world that hangs forever above the land of Awful Shadow, and that upon the outside are seas and mountains and plains and countless people and great country from which he comes.” "He must be quite mad," said the girl. “Yet he and David, our emperor, have brought us many advantages that were before unknown in Pollucidar, so that now we can kill more warriors in a single battle than was possible before during the course of a whole war. Perry calls this civilization and it is indc and a very wonderful thing.” “Perhaps he came from the " >zen world from which the anees sos the Korsars came,” suggested the girl. “They say that that country lies outside of Pellucidar."’ "Here is the enemy,” said Tanar. m n m THERE came a hail from the leading canoe. “We are prepared for you, Korsars,” shouted a tall warrior standing in the bow of the" first canoe. “You are few in numbers. We are many. Your great canoe is a useless wreck; ours are manned by twenty warriors each. You are helpless. We are strong. It is not always thus and this time it is not we who shall be taken prisoners, but you, if you attempt to iand. “But we are not like you Korsars. We do not want to kill or capture. Go away and we shall hot harm you.”

"We can not go away," replied Tanar. “Our ship is helpless. We are only two, and our food and water are nearly exhausted. Let us land and remain until we can prepare to return to our own countries." The warrior turned and conversed with the others in his canoe. Presently he faced Tanar again. “No,” he said, “my peopel will not permit Korsars to come among us. They do not trust you. Neither do I. If you do not go'away, we shall take you as prisoners and your fate will be in the hands of the council of the chiefs.” “But we are not Korsars,” explained Tanar. The warrior laughed. You speak a lie,” he said. "Do you think that we do not know the ships of Korsar?” “This is a Korsar ship,” Tanar replied, “but we are not Korsars. We were prisoners and when they abandoned their ship in a grea,t storm they left us aboard.” Again the warriors conferred.

“Who are you then?” demanded the spokesman. “I am Tanar of Pellucidar. My father is King of Sari.” mam are all of Pellucidar," re- ▼ V plied the warrior; “but we never heard of a country called Sari. And the woman—she is your mate?” “No!” cried Stellara, haughtily. “I t\m not his mate.” “Who are you? Are you a Sarian, also?” “I am no Sarian. My father and mother were of Amlocap.” Again the warriors talked among themselves, some seeming to favor one idea, some another. ‘Do you know the name of this country?” finally demanded the leading warrior, addressing Stellara. “We were about to ask you that very question,” said Tanar. “And the woman is from Amiocap?" demanded the warrior. "No other blood flows in my veins,” said Stellara proudly. “Then it is strange that you do not recognize your own land and your own people, cried the warrior. “This is the island of Amlocap!” Stellara voiced a low cry of pleased astonishment. "Amlocap!” she breathed softly, but the warriors in the canoes were too far away to heir her. They thought she was silent and embarrassed, because they had discovered her deception. "Go away!” they cried again. “You will not send me away from the land of my parents!” cried Stellara, in astonishment. / “You have lied to us,” replied the tall warrior. “You are not of Amlocap. You do not know us, nor do we know you.” “Listen!" cried Tanar. T was a prisoner aboard this ship and, being no Korsar, the girl told me her story long before we sighted this land. She could not have known that we were near your island. I do not ko iw that she even knew its location. “She never has said that she was from Amiocap, but that her parents were. She never has seen the island before now. Her mother was stolen by the Korsars before she was bom. man AGAIN the warriors spoke totogether in low tones for a moment and then, once more, the spokesman addressed Stellara. “What was your mother’s name?” he demanded. “Who was your father?" “My mother was called Allara,” replied the girl. "'I never saw my father, but my mother said that he was a chief called Fedol.” At a word from the tall warrior in the bow of the loading canoe, the warriors paddled slowly nearer the drifting hulk, and as they approached the ship's waist Tanar and Stellate descended to the main deck, which now was almost awash, so deep the ship rode because of the water in her hold. As the canoe drifted alongside, the warriors laid down their paddles and stood ready with their bone-tipped spears. Now the two upon the ship’s deck and the tall warrior in the canoe stood almost upon the same level and face to face. The latter was a smooth-faced man with finely moldtd features and clear, gray eyes that bespoke Intelligence and courage. He was gazing Intently at Stellara. Presently he spoke. “You might well be her daughter,” he said; “the resemblance is apparent.”

“You know my mother?” exclaimed Stellara. “I am Vulhan. You have heard her speak of me?” (To Be Continued) (OoDTrlsht. 1931, by Metropolitan Newspaper Feature Service, Inc.: Copyright, 1939. Edgar Rice Burroughs. Inc.)

TAEZAN AND THE LOST EMPIRE

The wedding of Fastus and Dilecta was to take place upon the steps of Caesar's throne. The high priest of the temple stood facing the audience, and just below, at one side, Fastus waited, while slowly up the long chamber came the bride, followed by the vestal virgins.

Dilecta was pale, but she did not falter aa she moved slowly forward to her doom. There were many who whispered that she looked an empress already, so noble was her mien, so stately her carriage. They could not see the slim dagger clutched in her right hand beneath her bridal robes.

“What favor do you seek?” the emperor asked. “No favor,” said Dilecta. “Before 1 pledge my troth to Fastus, I demand to see Maximus Praeclarus, here, alive and free." ‘ That can not be.” said Caesar. “It can,” said a voice from the balcony. “Maximum Praeclarus is behind ail”
