TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS TARZAN 1 ?? ] THE F APES”

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN TANAR sat musing thus, he became aware suddenly of voice* raised in altercation Just outside the door of the storeroom. One was a man’s voice; the other a woman’s. “And If you won’t have me,” growled the man, “I’ll take you.” Tanar could hot hear the woman’s reply, though he heard her speak. “What do I care for The Cid?” cried the man. “I am as powerful in Korsar as he. I could take the ’hrone and be Cid myself, if I chose." Again Tanar heard the woman speak. “If you do, I'll choke the wind out of you." threatened the man. “Come in here where we can talk better. Then you can yell all you want, for no one can hear you.” Tanar heard the man Insert a key in the lock, and as he did so the Pellucidartan sought a hiding place behind a pile of whisky hampers. “And after you get out of this room,” continued the man, “there will be nothing left for you to yell about." "I have told you right along,” said the woman, "that I would rather kill myself than mate with you, but If you take me by force I still shall kill myself, but I shall kill you first.” ana THE heart of Tanar of Pellucidar leaped in his breast when he heard that voice. His fingers cloeed upon the hilt of the cutlass at his side, and as Bulf voiced a sneering laugh in answer to the girl’s threat the Sartan leaped from his concealment. a naked blade shining in his lght hand. At the sound behind him Bulf wheeled about and for an instant did not recognize the Sarian in the Kosar garb, but Stellara did, and ;ihe voiced a cry of mingled surprise and Joy. “Tanar!” she cried. "My Tanar!” As the Sarian rushed him, Bulf fell back, drawing his cutlass as he retreated. Tanar saw that he was making for the door leading into the corridor and he rushed at the man to engage him before he could escape. “Stand back,” cried Bulf, “or you 'shall die for this,” but Tanar of Pellucidtr only laughed in his face as he swung a wicked blow Pt the man’s head, which Bulf but barely parried, and then they were at one another like wild beasts. Tanar drew fisrt boold from a slight gash in Bulf’s shoulder and then the fellow yelled for help. “You said that no one could hear Stellara’s cries for help from this

apartment,” taunted Tanar, “so why do you think that they can hear yours?” mam “T ET me out of here," cried Bulf. Ju “Let me out and I will give you your freedom.’ But Tanar rushed him into a comer and the sharp edge of his cutless sheared an ear from Bulfs head. "Help!” shrieked the Korsar. “Help! It is Bulf. The Sarian is killing me.” Fearful that his loud cries might reach the corridor beyond and attract attention, Tanar Increased the fury of his assault. He beat down the Korsar’s guard. He swung his cutlass in one terrible circle that clove Bulf’s skull, and with a gurgling gasp the great brute lunged forward upon his face. And Tanar of Pellucidar turned and took Stellara in his arms. “Thank God,” he said, “that I was In time.” “Thank heaven you are alive,” said the girl. “I thought you dead.” They told me that you were dead.” “No,” said Tanar. “They put me in a lark dungeon beneath the palace.” “And you have been so near me all this time,” said Stellara, “and I thought that you yere dead.” “For a long time I thought that I was worse than dead,” replied the man. solitude and silence—it \.ac worse than death.”

BEBE HAS TWO LOVE AFFAIRS THIS TIME Ben Lyon Acts the Role of a Lover to Miss Daniels in “My Past,” Which Is Due Saturday at the Apollo. BEBE DANIELS returns to the screen as a star Saturday, when the Warner Brothers production, “My Past,” opens at the Apollo for one week’s engagement. “My Past” was adapted to the screen from the novel, “Ex-Mistress.” Miss Daniels will be associated with the audible screen success, “Rio Rita” and “Dixiana,” and in the coming film portrays the role of Doree Masy, an actress who ia loved by two men, who are pals and business partners. Ben Lyon, who, by the way, is Miss Daniels’ husband, plays the part of the young lover who is unhappily married to a wife who is quite as

dissatisfied with him ps he with her. Natalie Moorehead, with her usual sophistication, portrays the galllvanting wife. Doree’s other suitor is played magnificently by Lewis Stone, whose love, being that of an older man, finally causes him to give her to his young friend. Many complications block the way to this culmination, however—and Albert Gran furnishes some delightful fun along the way.

afternoon dress. We think Martin, the artist who draws “Boots and Her Buddies,” provided an unusually attractive outfit. Watch for another costume for “Boots” tomorrow.

"And yet you escaped!” The girl’s voice was filled with awe. man “TT was because of you that I A escaped," said Tanar. “Thoughts of you kept me from going mad—thought and hope urged me on to seek some avenue of scape. Never again as long as life is in me shall I feel that there can be any situation that Is entirely hopeless, after what l have passed through.” Stellara shook her head. “Your hope will have to be strong, dear heart, against the discouragement that you must face in seeking a way out of the palace of The Cid and the city of Korsar.” “I have come this far,” replied Tanar. “Already have I achieved the impossible. Why should I doubt my ability to wrest freedom for you and for me from whatever fate holds in store for us?” “You can not get by with that smooth face, Tanar,” said the girl, sadly. “Ah, if you only had Bulf’s whiskers,” and she glanced down at the corpse of the fallen man. Tanar turned, too, and looked down at Bulf, where he lay upon the floor. And then quickly he faced Stellara. “Why not?” he cried. “Why not?” (To Be Continued) (CopyrlthL 1931. by Metropolitan Ketricaptr Fe-:,iuro Service. Inc.; Copyright, 1939. Kdfrar Rice Burroughs.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

Thus far on the Qreystoke estates, during Tarzan’s absence, life had followed its usual routine. Korak managed the activities of the farmhouse and in his leisure moments exercised the Golden Lion upon a leash. At such times he was very cautious, for he feared his own powers of control over Jad-balja. And it required uttle imagination to visualize what would happen if In the absence of Tarzan, its master, the Golden Won, reared fearlesa among men, “ ehotttd take to-the jungle and revert to its natural, savage state.

Then befell the first of a series of events that were to bring Tarzan of the Apes to the brink of disaster. Came a native runner from Nairobi bearing a cable message to Lady Greystoke announcing the serious illness of her father in London. Jane discussed the situation with her son. It would be weeks before a runner could reach Tarzan. It was decided, therefor, that she should set out immediately. Korak was to accompany her as far as Nairobi. Then he was to return to the ranch and resume its responsibility until his father’s return.

—By Ahern

Now it Is a long trek from the Greystoke estates to the little African town of Nairobi. Korak had not yet returned when, three weeks late, Jad-bal-Ja escaped. A careless black, whose duty it was to feed the Golden Lion, accidentally left the cage door unfastened. The shrewd beast observed It, inserted a great, padded paw and the gate swung open, Jad-bal-ja dropped softly to the ground. He easily leaped the inclosing fence and loped off in the direction of the jungle. Thorough search by the affrighted blacks failed to find him. Woe to any foes who cross the ‘path -of this king of beasts!

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

That same night Tarzan approached the campfires of the strange party he had been following. Unseen by them, the ape-man halted in the foliage of a tree directly in the center of their camp which was brilliantly lighted by enormous fires of brushwood. Before one of these sat three white men. Two were great, bull-necked fellows, evidently middle class Englishmen. The other was tall, slsnder and handsome, with regular features and dark wavy hair. This chap now entered a nearby tent from which came the sound of conversation. Taruan, amazed, recognized one voice as that of a woman.
