TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS “TARZAjPoF THE F APES'*

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT "’ITIT'HAT do you mean?’’ deVV manded Stellara. Wait and you shall see," replied Tanar, and drawing his dirk he stooped and turned Bull over upon his back. Then with the razor-sharp blade of his weapon he commenced to hack off the bushy, black beard of the dead Korsar. Spreading Bulf’s headcloth flat upon the floor, Tanar deposited upon it the hair that he cut from the man’s face, and when he had completed his grewcome tonsorial effort ho folded the hair Into the handkerchief and, rising, motioned for Stellara to follow him. Going to the door that led into the tunnel through which he had escaped from the dungeon, Tanar opened it, and smearing his fingers with the pitch that exuded from the boards upon the inside of the door, he smeared some it it upon the side of his face and then turned to Stellara "Put this hair upon my face in as natural a way as you can.’’ Horrible as the plan seemed and though she shrank from touching the hair of the dead man, Stellara steeled herself and did as Tanar bid. Little by little, Tanar applied pitch to his face and Stellara placed the hair upon it until presently only the eyes and nose of the Sarian remained exposed. The expression of the former were altered by increasing the size and bushiness of the eyebrows with shreds of Bulfs beard that had been left over. Then Stellara stood away and surveyed him critically Do you think I can pass as a Korsar?” he asked. No one will suspect, unless they Question you closely as you leave the palace.’’ We are going together,’’ said Tanar But how?” asked Stellara tt a a I HAVE been thinking of another plan,” he said ‘‘l noticed when 1 was living in the barracks that sailors going toward the river had no difficulty in passing through the gate leaving the palace. In fact, it 1s always much easier to leave the palace then to enter it. On many occasions I have heard them say merely that they were going to their ships. We can do the same.” "Do I look like a Korsar sailor?” demanded Stellara. "You will when I get through with you.” "What do you mean?”

‘There is Korsar clothing here,” said Tanar; "and there is still plenty of hair on Bulf’s head.” The girl drew back with a shudder. “Oh, Tanar! You can not mean that.” "What other way is there?” he demanded. “If we can escape together, is it not worth any price?” "You are right,” she said. “I will do it.” When Tanar completed his work upon her, Stellara had been transformed into a bearded Korsar, but the best that he could do in the way of disguise failed to hide entirely the contours of her figure. “I am afraid they will suspect,” he said. "Your figure is too feminine for shorts and a shirt to hide it.” "Wait!” exclaimed Stellara. “Sometimes the sailors, when they are going on long voyages, wear cloaks, which they use to sleep in if the nights are cool. Let us see if we can , find such a one here.” a a a YES, I saw one,” replied Tanar, and crossing the room he returned with a cloak made of wide striped goods. “That will give you greater height,” he said. But when they draped it about her,. her femine figure still was too evident. “Build out my shoulders,” suggested Stellar, and with scarfs and handkerchiefs the Sarian built the girl’s shoulders out so that she resembled a short, stocky man. “Now we are ready,” said the Sarian. Stellara pointed to the body of Bulf “We can not leave him lying there,” she said. “Someone may come to this room and discover him and when they do, every man in the palace—yes, even in the entire city —will be arrested and questioned.” Tanar looked about the room and then he seized the corpse of Bull and dragged it into a far corner, after which he piled bundles of bides and baskets upon it, and over the blood stains upon the floor he dragged other bales and baskets. “Now,” he said, “is as good a time as another to put our disguises to the test.” Together they approached the door. “You know the leastfrequented passages to the garden,” said Tanar. “Let us make our way from the palace through the garden to the gate that gave us escape before.” “Then follow me,” replied Stellara, as Tanar opened the door and the two stepped out into the corridor •beyond. It was empty, Tanar

closed the door behind him, and Stellara led the way down the passage. They had pr©ceeded but a short distance when they heard a man’s voice in an apartment to the left, “Where is die?” he demanded. ‘T do not know,” replied a woman’s voice. “She was here but a moment ago and Bulf was with her.” Find them and lose no time about it,” commanded the man, sternly. And he stepped from the apartment just as Tanar and Stellara were approaching. ITo Be Continued) (Coovrlglit. 1931. toy Metropolitan Newspaper Feature Service. Inc.: Copyright, 1929.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

The two burly men beside the campfire . leaped startled to their feet as suddenly, near at hand, a lion’s roar broke the silence of the jungle. At this very moment Tarzan elected to drop quietly into the circle of firelight before them. As they saw him, their looks of terror gave way to relief and anger. “Why do you come back like that. Esteban?” cried the taller fallow. “Don’t you suppose we’ve got no nerves? What’s the big idea getting’ back so soon?” I

Tarzan was angry. Angry at these raw intruders who dared enter without his permission the wide domain in which he kept peace and order. When Tarzan was angry there flamed upon htasjorehead the scar that Bolganl, the gorilla, had placed there that day long ago when the boy Tarzan had met the great beast in mortal combat. Then it was he first learned the true value of his father’s hunting knife, the knife. that placed him tpon an even footing with the great beast oif rhe jungle.

Tarzan’s gray eyes narrowed. His voice came cold and level as he addressed them: “Who are you,” he demanded, “who dare thus invade the country of a Waziri, the land of Tarzan, without permission from the lord of the jungle?” The men looked amazed at this spech, then laughed long and uproariously. “Where do you get that stuff, Estaban?” demanded one. “What you doin’ back ’ere alone? Where’s your bally men, and where’s the blooming gold?” the other yelled, working hijnself up by this time into a great pitch of excitement

The ape-man eyed the speakers in silence for a moment. “I am Tarzan of the Apes,” he said. “I do not know what you are tatiHng about. I only know that I came in search of him who slew Gobu, the great ape; hjm who slew Bara the deer without my permission.” “Oh, stow the guff, Estaban,” exploded the Cockney. “If you’re trying to be funny, we don’t see the joke.” Inside the tent which Tarzan had seen the third man enter, a woman crouched 4n sudden terror. She grasped the wrist of h*jr companion frantically.
