Tanar was seldom in his apartment and when he was he ordinarily gave no more than casual attention to the garden beyond the wall. But upon one occasion, after returning from an inspection of an iron mine, he had been left alone with his own sad thoughts. Seating himself upon the sill of the window, he was gazing down upon the lovely scene below, when his attention was attracted by the figure of a girl as she came into view almost directly before him along one of the graveled paths. She was looking up toward his window and their eyes met simultaneously. It was Gura. Placing her finger to her lips, cautioning him to silence, she came quickly forward until she reached a point as close to his window as it was possible for her to come. “There is a gate In the garden wall at the far end of your barracks.’’ she said in a low whisper attuned to reach his ears. “Come to it at once.” Tanar stopped to ask no questions. The girl’s tone had been peremptory* Her whole manner bespoke urgency. Descending the stairway to the ground floor. Tanar left the building and walked slowly toward its far end. Korsars were all about him, but they had been accustomed to seeing him, and now he held himself to a slow and careless pace that aroused no suspicion. Just beyond the end of the barracks he came to a small heavily planked door set in the garden wall. As he arrived opposite this, it swung open and he stepped quickly ithin the garden, Gura instantly closing the gate behind him. “At last I have succeeded.” cried the girl, "but I thought that I never should I have tried so hard to see you ever since Fitt took you from the Cid’s palace. I learned from one of the slaves where your quarters were in the barracks, and whenever I have been free I always have been beneath your window “Twice before I saw you, but I could not attract your attention, and that I have succeeded perhaps it is too late” “Too late! What do you mean?” “Too late to save Stellara,” said the girl. “She is in danger?” asked Tanar. “The preparations for her marriage to Bulf are complete. She can not delay it much longer.” a a a “'VXT'HY should she wish to delay Wit?” demanded the Sarian. “is she not content with the man she ha* chosen?” “Like all men. you are a fool in matters pertaining to a woman's heart,” cried Gura. “I know what she told me,” said Tanar. “After all that you had been through together, after all that she had been to you, how could you have believed that she loved another?” demanded Gura. “You mean that she does not love Bulf?” “Os course she does not love him. He is a horrid beast.” “And she still loves me?”

“She never has loved any one lse?” replied the girl. “Then why did she treat me as he did?” “She was jealous.” “Jealous!” Jealous of whom?” “Os me," said Gura, dropping her eyes. The Sarian stood looking dumbly at the dark-haired Himean girl standing before him. He noted her slim body, her drooping shoulders, her attitude of dejection. “Gura,” he asked, “did I ever speak words of love to you? Did I ever give Stellara or another the right to believe that I loved you?” a a a SHE shook her head. “No,” she said, “and I told Stellara that when I found out what she thought. I told her that you did not love me and Anally she was convinced and asked me to And you and tell you that she still loves you. But I have another message for you from myself. “I know you, Sarian. I know that you are not planning to remain here contentedly a prisoner of the Korsars. I know that you will try to escape and I have come to beg you to take Stellara with you, for she will kill herself before she will become the mate of Bulf.” “Escape,” mused Tanar. "How may it be accomplished from the heart of The Cid’s palace?” “That is man’s work,” said Gura. "It is for you to plan the way.” “And you?” asked Tanar. “You wish to come away with us?” “Do not think of me,” said Gura. “If you and Stellara can escape, I do not matter.” “But you do matter,” said the man “and I am sure that you do not wish to stay in Korsar.” “No, I do not wish to remain in Korsar,” replied the girl. “You wish to return to Hime?” asked Tanar. “After the brief taste of happiness I have had,” replied the girl, I could not return to the quarrels, the hatred and the constant unhappiness that constitutes life within the cave at Scurv and w'hich would be but continued in some other cave, were I to take a mate in Hime.” “Then come with us,” said the Sarian. “Oh, if I only might!” exclaimed Gura. a a a " r PHEN that is settled.” exA claimed Tanar. “You shall come with us and if we reach Sari I know that you can And peace and happiness.” “It sounds likea dream.” said the girl, wistfully, “from which I shall awaken in the cave of Scurv.” “We shall make the dream come true,” said the Sarian; “and now let us plan on how best we can get you and Stellara out of the palace of The Cid.” “That will not be so easy,” said Gura. ‘No, it is the most difficult part of our escape,” agreed the Sarian; “but it must be done.” a a a “And it must be done at once,” said Gura, “lor the wedding arrangements are completed and Bulf is impatient for his mate.” For a moment Tanar stood In thought, seeking to formulate some plan that might contain at least a chance of feasibility. “Can you bring Stellara to this gate at once?” he asked Gura. “If she is alone, yes,” replied the girl. “Then go and fetch her and wait here with her until I return. My signal will be a low whistle. When you hear it, unlatch the gate.” “I shall return as quickly as possible,” said Gura, and, as Tanar stepped through the doorway into the barracks yards he closed and latched the gate behind him. CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT THE Sarian looked about him and was delighted to note that apparently no one had seen him emerge from the garden. Instead of returning along the front of the barracks the way he had come, he turned in the opposite direction and made his way directly to one of the main gates of the palace. And this strategy was prompted also by another motive—he washed to ascertain if he could pass the guard at the main gate without being challenged. Tanar had not adopted the garments of his captors and still was conspicuous by the scant attire and simple ornaments of a savage warrior and already his comings and goings had made him a familiar flgure around the palace yard and in the Korsar streets beyond. But he never had passed through a palace

gate alone before; nor without the ever present Fitt. As he neared the gate, he neither hastened nor loitered, but maintained a steady pace and an unconcerned demeanor. Others were passing in and out and as the former naturally received much closer scrutiny by the guards than the latter, Tanar soon found himself in a Korsar street outside the palace of The Cid. Before him were the usual sights nowr grown familiar—the narrow’, dusty street, the small open shops or bazars lining the opposite side, Lie swaggering Korsars in their brilliant kerchiefs and sashes, and the slaves bearing great burdens to and fro—garden truck and the fruits of the chase coming in from the back country, while bales of tanned hides, salt and other commodities, craved by the simple tastes of the aborigines, were being borne out of the city toward the interior. Some of the bales were of considerable size and weight, requiring the services of four carriers, and were supported on two long poles, the ends of which rested on the shoulders of the men. There were lines of slaves carrying provisions and ammunition to a Aeet of ships that was outAtttng for a new' raid, and another line bearing plunder from the hold of another ship that had but recently come to anchor in the river before the city. a a a V LL this activity presented a ■L*- scene of apparent confusion, which was increased by the voices of the merchants hawking their w’ares and the shrill bickering of prospective purchasers. Through the motley throng the Sarian shouldered his way back toward another gate that gave entrance to the palace ground, dose to the far end of the long, rambling barracks. As this was the gate through which he passed most often, he was accorded no more than a glance as he passed through, and once within he hastened immediately to the quarters assigned to David. Here he found both David and Ja, to whom he immediately unfolded a plan that he had been perfecting since he left the garden of The Cid. “And now,” he said, “before you have agreed to my plan, let me make it plain that I do not expect you to accompany me if you feel that the chances of success are too slight. It is my duty, as well as my desire, to save Stellara and Gura. But I can not ask you to place you r plans for escape in jeopardy.” “Your plan is a good one,” replied. David, “and even if it were not, it is the best that has been suggested yet. And as for our deserting either you or Stellara or Gura, that, of course, is not even a question’ for discussion. We shall go with you and I know that I speak for Ja as well as myself.” “I knew that you would say Ciat,” said the Sarian, “and now let us start at once to put the plan to test.” “Good,” said David. “You make your purchases and return to the garden, and Ja and I will proceed at once to carry out our part.” The three proceeded at once toward the palace gate at the far end of the barracks, and as they were passing through, the Korsar in charge stopped them. “Where now?” he demanded. “We are going into the city to make purchases for a long expedition that we are about to make in search of new iron deposits in the back country, farther than we have ever been before.” (To Be Continued) (Cooyright, 1931, by Metropolitan Newspaper feature Service.

The Golden Lion rumbled a scarce audible acknowledgment of Tarzan’s command. Stealthily he worked his way through the bush. The antelopes fed on, not suspecting the danger so near them. Now the lion was gathering for the charge. The only noticeable movement was the twitching of his tail. Then, as lightning from the sky, as an arrow from the bow, Jad-bal-ja shot forward. He was almost upon the buck before the animal realized it. Then it was too late. The litfc rose on its~ , ind feet and seized it while the balance of tfcperd fled.

“Now," said Korak, “we shall see." “He will bring the antelope to me," said Tarzan, confidently. The Golden Lion hesitated a moment, growling over the carcase of his kill. Then he seized it by the back and it slowly along the ground beside him as he made his way back to Tarzan. After he had dropped it at the feet of his master he stood looking up at the face of the ape-man with an expression of pride. Tarzan spoke to him in a lov? voice, praising him, and stroked his head. Jane and Korak stood by, waiting the ape-man's next move.

Tarzan, drawing his hunting knife, cut the jugular of the antelope. This would be the test. What would Jad-bal-ja do with the smell of fresh, hot blood in his nostrils? He sniffed at it and growled. With bared fangs he eyed the three wickedly. The ape-man pushed him away with his open palm. The lion growled again angrily and snapped at him. Quick is Numa, quick is Bara the deer, but Tarzan of the Apes is lightning. So swiftly did he strike, and so heavily, that Jad-bal-ja was falling on his back almost in the very instant that he had growled at Tarzan.

Swiftly he came to his feet again and the two —man and facing each other. “Down!” commanded the ape-man. “Lie down, Jad-bal-ja!" His voice was low and firm. The lion hesitated but for an instant, and then lay down as Tarzan of the Apes had taught him to do at the word of command. Tarzan turned and lifted the carcass of the antelope to his shoulder. “Come," he said to Jad,bal-ja. The lion, immediately followed them back to the horses. “You win," said “How do you do it?” “There is but one T4rz&n,” said Lady Greystcke, with pride iai her vvj*.
