TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS "TARZASTOF* THif APES’*

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE IT was The Cid. heart stopped beating as the Korsar tbicr looked into the faces of Tanar •nd herself. "Who are you?" demanded The Cid. "We arc sailors" said Tanar, quickly. "Whal are you doing here in my palac'*?" demanded the Kcrsar ruler. "We w-pr*. sent here with packages to the storeroom,” replied Tanar, "and we are but now returning to our ship.” "Well, be quick about it. Ido not like your looks." growled The Cid as he stamped off. Tanar saw Stellara sway ar.d he stepped to her side and supported her. but she quickly gained possession of herself, and an instant later turned to the right and led Tanar through a doorway into the garden. "Good!” w’hispered the man, as they walked side by side after quitting the building. “If The Cid did not know you, then your disguise must be perfect.” There were a number of men and women in the garden close to the palace. Some of these scrutinized them casually, but they passed by in safety and a moment later the gravel walk they were following wound through dense shrubbery that hid them from view and then they were at the doorway in the garden wall. a b tt AGAIN fortune favored them and they passed out into the barracks yards without being noticed. Electing to try the main gate because of the greater number of people who passed to and fro through it, Tanar turned to the right, passed n.ong the full length of the barracks Phst a dozen men and approached the gate with Stellara at his side. They were almost through when e stupid-looking Korsar soldier topped thefti. "Who are you?" he demanded, “and-what business takes you from the nalace?" "We are sailors," replied Tanar. “We are going to our ship." What were you doing in the palace?" demanded the mail. “We took packages there from the captain of the ship to The Cid's storeroom.” explained the Sarian. "I do not like the looks, of you," said the man. "Wait here until the captain of the gat? returns. He will wish to question you.” The Sarian's heart sank. “If we arc late in returning to our ship, we shall be punished,” said he. ‘That is nothing to me," replied the soldier. Stellara reached inside her cloak and beneath the man’s clothes that covered her. own apparel, and searched until she found a pouch that was attached to her girdle. From this she drew something which she slipped into Tanar’s

hands. He understood immediately, ] and stopping close to the soldier he pressed two pieces of gold into the fellow's palm. "It will go very hard with us if we are late,” he said. a m tt THE man felt the cool gold within his palm. “Very well," he said gruffly, “go on about your business, and be quick about it.” Without waiting for a second invitation, Tanar and Stellara merged with the crowd upon the Korsar street. Nor did either speak until they had left the palace gate well behind. . “And where now?” she asked at ' last. f “We are going to sea,” replied the man. “We are going Ashing.” Along the banks of the river were moored many craft, but when Tanar saw r how many men were on or around them he realized that the plan he had chosen, which contemplated a fishing boat, most probably ■ ould end disastrously, and he explained his doubts to Stellara. "We could never do it,” she said. | “Stealing a boat is considered the most heinous crime that one can I commit in Korsar, and if the owner of a boat is not aboard it you may rest assured that some of his friends are watching it for him, even though there is little likelihood that any one will attempt to steal it, since the penalty is death." Tanar shook his head. “Then we shall have to risk passing through the entire city of Korsar,” he said, "and going out into the open country without any reasonable excuse in the event that we are questioned." "We might buy a boat,” suggested Stellara. “I have no money,” said Tanar. "I have,” replied the girl. "The Cid always has kept me well supplied with gold.” Once more she reached into her pouch and drew forth a handful of gold pieces. "Here," she said, "take these.” a a Questioning the first man that he approached at the river ! side, Tanar learned that there was I a small fishing boat for sale a short way down the river, and it was not leng before they had found its owner and consummated the purchase. As they pushed off into the current and floated down stream, Tanar became conscious of a sudden conviction that his escape from Korsar had been effected too easily; that there must be something wrong, : that either he was dreaming or else disaster and recapture lay just ahead. Borne down toward the sea by the slow 7 current of the river, Tanar w ielded a single oar, paddlewtse from the stern, to keep the boat out in the channel and its bow r in the right direction, for he did not wish to make sail under the eyes of Korsar

sailors and fishermen, as he was well aware that he could not do so without attracting attention to his evident inexperience and thus casting Suspicion upon them. Slowly the boat drew away from the Korsar raiders anchored in midstream and tjien, at last, he felt that it would be safe to hoist the sail and take advantage of the land breeze that was blowing. With Stellara’s assistance the canvas was spread and as it bellied to the wind the craft bore forward with accelerated speed. Then behind them they heard shouts and, turning, saw three boats speeding toward them." (To Be Continuedi fCoDvrißht. 1931, by Metropolitan NewsD&per Feature Service. Inc.; Copyrisrtu. 1929.

Shaffer, Huntington, urged passage of his bill to make licensing of saloons optional with counties. The measure provided that a saloon keeper must obtain names of majority of the persons in a township before he could secure a license. The license fee was to be $250., Vote o n the measuie was 25 to 23 against passage. Throughout the session both houses had received thousands of petitions from all sections of the state urging sore stringent prohibition laws. In the debate on the bill, Shaffer pointed out that “the present law is never enforced and never will be.’ He also predicted that if the bill were passed, "more than three-fourths of the saloons would be abolished within ten years.” crimFnalsteriuzing MEASURE IS KILLED Senators Act on Belief That Tt Is Clearly 'Unconstitutional.* Death w T as inflicted summarily upon the Evans-Simpson criminal sterilization bill by the Indiana senate Friday. Called down for second reading, the bill, passed by the house 58 to 32 Feb. 18 after long debate, was postponed indefinitely on motion of Senator C. Oliver Holmes (Rep., Lake). , Senator Robert Moorhead (Rep., Marion) and others agreed with Holmes’ contention "the measure clearly is unconstitutional.” The bill would have permitted juries to inflict the added penalty of sterilization on criminals convicted of felonies in which human life was threatened or destroyed.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

The girl pointed toward the tall, almost naked figure of the ape-man as he stood revealed in the full light of the blazing beast fires. “Carl,” she whispered in trembling, tones, “look!” “What’s wrong. Flora?” he said, “I only see Esteban.” ‘lt is not Estaban,” hissed 'the girl, hysterically. “It is Lord Greystoke, himself! It is Tarzan of the Apes!” “You are mad, Flora,” replied the man. “It can not be." “It is, it is!" the girl cried over and over. “Look at that red scar flaming on his forehead! And haven’t I reason to know him?”

“Well, suppose it is, what can he do to us?" inquired the handsome young Russian. “What? You may well ask. You do not know him,” she went on in low tones. “Here, he has power of life and death over man and knows why we are here, not one of us will ever reach the coast alive, I tell you!” She paused a moment in thought! “The fact he is here makes me believe he may have discovered our purpose. And if he has, heaven help us—unless—unless—” “Unless what?” demanded ' the man who began also to show signs of agitation.

The girl pondered as if she were deciding some very weighty question. “We dare not kill him, even if we could,” she said finally. “There is a way, though, if we act quickly.” Turning, she searched in one of her bags and then handed a small bottle containing colorless liquid. “Go and talk to him,” she said. “Make friends with him, promise anything. Get him to remain and have coffee with you fellows. Then you wilt,know what to do wit® this!” she concluded craftily, indicating the small vial the man now held.*

Carl Kraski nodded. “I understand,” he whispered, and left the tent. The girl called him back. “On your life, Carl, promise not to let him see me or even know I am here.” Approaching the tense figures before the fire, the ingratiating Russian greeted Tarzan with a disarmingly pleasant smile. “Welcome,” he said. “We are glad to see a stranger in our camp.” The ape-man eyed Kraski as he had eyed the others,. No answering friendly ligftt in Tarzan’s eyes responded to the young Russian’s cheery greeting.
