TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE, BURROUGHS “TARZAN OP THE APES”

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE Bulf nodded his head slowly. “I hate to give up my plans," he said, "for I should like to inflict that torero upon this Sarian myself. But,” and ho turned to the cadaverous one, "you arc right. You have named a torture infinitely worse than ny that I could conceive.” "Thus it ir ordered,” said The Oid. "To separate palace dungeons for life.” a a a TANAR and David were blindfolded; Tanar felt himself being stripped of all his ornaments and of what meager raiment it was his custom to wear, with the exception of his loin cloth. Then he was pushed and dragged roughly along. He was hustled down flights of stone steps and through corridors and at last he felt himself lowered into an opening, a guard seizing him under each arm. The air felt damp and it smelled of mold and must and of something else that was disgusting, but unrecognizable to his nostrils. And then they let go of him and he dropped a short distance and landed upon a .stone flagging that felt damp and slippery to his bare feet. He heard a sound above his head —a grating sound as though a stone slab had been pushed across a stone floor to close the trap through which he had been lowered. Then Tanar snatched the bandage from his eyes, but he might as well have left it there, for he found himself surrounded by utter darkness. He listened intently, but there was no sound, not even the sounds of the retreating footsteps of his guards,—darkness and silence—they had chosen the most terrible torture that they could inflict upon a Sarian—silence, darkness, and solitude. . For a long time he stood there motionless and then, slowly, he commenced to grope his way forward. Four steps he took before he touched the wall, and this he followed two steps to the end, and there he turned and took six steps to cross before he reached the wall on the opposite side, and thus he made the c'rcuit of his dungeon and found that it was four by six paces —perhaps not small for a dungeon, but narrower than the grave for Tanar of Pellucidar. He tried to think—to think how he could occupy his time until death released him. Death! Could he not hasten it? But how? Six paces was length of his prison cell. Could he not dash at full speed from one end to the other, crushing his brains out by the impact? And then he recalled hts promise to Stellara, even in the face of her appeal to him t,o take his own life—“l shall not die of my own hand.” a a a HE tried to plan for the future—the blank, dark, silent future —the eternity of loneliness that confronted him. He found that through the despair of utter hopelessness his own unconquerable spirit still could ' discern hope, and he realized that!

notitisig short of death ever could rob hi m of this solace, and so his plan .finally developed. H* *nust in some way keep his mints fl-om dwelling constantly upon the pro sent. He must erase from it all consideration of darkness, the silence .and the .ylitude that surrourdW i him. And he must keep fit, meneallr and physically, for the moment ol ’release or escape. And nu he planned to w alk and to exercise ~his arms and the other muscles o f his body systematically, to the en and that he might keep in good condition and at the same time itwdfco sufficient fatigue to enable him | o sleep as much as possible, and when he rested preparatory to si* ep he concentrated his mind entla ely upon pleasant memories. „ . , And vihen. he put the plan into practice he i ound that it was all that he hod h oped that it would be. He exercised until he was thoroughly faligu id and then he lay down to plea* int day dreams until sleep claimei. him. But his awakening! As consciousness slowly returned, it was accompanie C (by a scene of horror, the cause of which gradually filtered to hi; i iA vakening sensibilities. A cold, slimy. ’ body was crawling across his cbfcst. instinctively his hand seized It to- thrust it away and his fingers clo: ted upon a scaly thing that wriggled Mand writhed and struggled. Tanar leapt td to his feet, cold sweat bursting fa )m every pore. He stepped back ajst' his foot touched another of those Liorrid things. He slipped and flelt and, falling, his body encountened, others—cold, clammy, wriggling. Scrambling to hts feet he retreated to the opposite end of his dungeon, but (everywhere the floor was covered H ifch writhing, scaly bodies. And mow the silence became a panderr ionium of seething sounds, a black, caldron of venomous hisses. tt * n it LONG bodies cqrled themselves about his legs and writhed and wriggled e puiard toward his face. No sooner* did he tear one from him and it aside than another took its place. This was no dr earn , as he had at first hoped, but a tark, horrible reality. These hid eous serpents that filled his cell w\ ere but a part of his torture, bn'> flYey would !e----feat their purpose. They would drive him mad. Already he felt hi/c mind tottering and then into It, crept the cunning scheme of a nmriman. With their own weapons he \.would defeat their ends. He w ouki rob them quickly of the powei • to torture him further, and he bun?t into a shrill, mirthless laugh as h e fc< ire a snake from around his botdy land held it before him. The reptile writhed and struggled and veiy slowly Tana -of Pellucidar worked his hand ward to its throat. Grasping the* reptile about a foot below its head y* ith one hand, Tanar slapped it repet vtedly in the face with the other an and then held

it close to his breast. Laughing and screaming, he struck and struck again, and at last the snake struck back, burying its fangs deep in the flesh of the Sarian. With a cry of triumph Tanar hurled the thing from him and then slowly sank to the floor upon the writhing, wriggling forms that carpeted it. "With your own weapons I have robbed you of your revenge,” he shrieked, and then fye lapsed into unconsciousness. (To Be Continuedi (Coovrieht. 1931. bv Metropolitan Newspaper Feature Service.

People’s Voice

Editor Times—A banker's statement is that a working man can live on and be honest receiving 35 cents an hour for his xvork. Now, Mr. Banker, answer this: If a man works every day in the year, nine hours a day, except Sunday, he works 2,808 hours a year. At 35 cents an hour, his wages are $982.80. The banker says a man can feed his children and wife and self on 1212 cents a meal. With five in a family, three children, husband and wife, at 12% cents a meal, eating three meals a day will total $1.87% a day. Seven days a week will total $13.12% for a grocery bill. Fif:ytwo weeks will total $682.50. Now allow him only $lO a month for house rent. That will be $l2O a year. Shoes, two oairs each for all five, averaging $2 a pair, will total S2O. Overalls, four pairs for three will total sl2; hats for three, $6. Mother and sister’s clothes at $12.50 each will be $25. Five tons of coal at $6 a ton is S3O a year for fuel. These few expenses total $895.50 and the laboring man has only $87.30 to spend on his family. He has not paid water bill, electric light bill, insurance, has walked to work ever day, has no automobile, no tobacco, no underwear, overcoat, has given nothing to his church, nothing to the Red Cross, nothing to the poor, has had no company to visit him, no Sunday clothes to wear, has not paid his doctor bill, has bought no medicine. He has none of the things that go toward making life worth living and keeping the love of God in our hearts. Now, Mr. Banker, would you say that 35 cents an hour is enough for a working man with babies? Are not his loved ones as dear to him as yours? What is labor worth? OTIS L. WOOLLEN, 458 W. Palmer street, Frankfort, Ind. Editor Times—The suggestion of Lcland Overton in The Times to open the brew T eries and put a million or more men to work should be given some thought. This will give the farmer a chance to raise all the grain needed and get a price for it worthy of his labor, instead of stacking it up in the warehouses and no market for it. What we need is someone big enough to come out and start the wheels going on the road to prosperity. TIMES READER, Death Driver Accused By Times Special LAGRANGE, Ind., Feb. 21.—William Strakalaris, 25, Chicago, faces a charge of manslaughter here as a result of the death of John Van Ginkle, 26, Chicago, when a bus driven by Strakalaris crashed into a truck east of here.

POWKI H U L DA HAWAII A tribe-of Hawaiians used the words, “POWKI HULDA” to designate the Islands upon which they lived. The two words are composed of ten different letters. Each letter was used to represent a different figure. “L,” for example, might represent 7. Thus “P 0 W K I” and (HULDA” each are numbers of five figures. An explorer added these two numbers together and found that their total spelled HAWAII. On you discover what figure each letter represents?

Tarzan only laughed at Jane’s fears. Werper was dead and an earthquake wasn’t likely to happen again. Those had been his enemies on the previous trips to Opar. “Shall you take Korak with you?” she asked. “No.” said Tarzan, “he must remain with you. Our son and the Cf&lden Lion surely ought to protect you,” he laughed, trying to dispel her fears. “Fifty of the Waziri warriors shall go with me. They can carry the gold—enough this time to last our lives.” A week later-they set out on the long trail that leads to Opar.

Behind the ape-man marched fifty jiant Waziri. These were the pick of the warlike tribe that had adopted Tarzan as their chief. Jane and Korak waved farewell to the party. As it filed off across the plain, the rumbling roar of Jad-bal-ja came to the ape-man’s ears. Did the Golden Lion sense that unheard of dangers were to threaten his master before the two should meet again? At last the voice of Numa trailed off into nothingness as the warriors were swallowed up in the distance.

Opar lay a good twenty-five days’ trek from the Greystoke estates. Upon the return journey, laden as they would be with ingots of gold, their progress wohld be slower. Because of this the ape-man had allowed two months for the venture. They carried no supplies. All were hunters and were moving through an Jbundant game country. A thorn boma and a few leaves provided their shelter by night. Spears, arrows and the powers of their great white chief were all the equipment they needed.

Midaftemoon of the third week, Tarzan, ranging far ahead pf his blacks in search of game, came suddenly upon the carcass of Bara, the deer. A feathered arrow protruded from the animal’s flank. What caught the attention of the ape-man was the arrow's design. When he withdrew it he was filled with wonderment, for he knew it was not of native make. What had brought that slight weapon from some civilized pity’s sporting goods house into the heart of >stvage Africa? Tarzan’s curiosity was aroused. Also his inherent jungle caution.
