TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR

By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS ‘TARZ THe" APES”

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE THEY think that they have us," said Stelkxa. "They believe that we shall tack here and make a run for the open sea around the end of that promontory, and they axe ready to head us off." Tanar held the boat’s nose straight for the shoreline. Beyond the angry surf he could see a sandy beach, but between lay a barrier of rock upon which the waves broke, hurling their spume far Into the air. "Look!" exclaimed Stellara, as the boat raced toward the smoother of boiling water. “Look! There! Right ahead! There may be a way yet!" "I have been watching that place,” said Tanar. "I have been holding her straight for It, and If It is a break In the rocky wall we shall soon know it, and If it Is not ” The Sarian glanced back in the direction ol the Korsars’ boats and saw that they again were in pursuit, for by this time it must have become evident to them that their quarry was throwing itself upon the rocky shore-line in desperation rather than to risk capture by turning again toward the open sea, Every inch of sail was spread upon the little craft, and though taut, bellowing canvas strained upon the cordage until it hummed, as the boat sped straight for the rocks dead ahead. Tanar and Stellara crouched in the stern, the man’s left arm pressing the girl protecttngly to his side. With grim fascination they watched the bowsprit rise and fall as it rushed straight toward what seemed must be inevitable disaster. They were there! The sea lifted them high in the air and launched them forward upon the rocks. To the right a jagged finger of granite broke through the smother of spume. To the left the sleek, waterworn side of a huge boulder revealed Itself for an instant as they sped past. The boat grated and rasped upon a sunken rock, slid over and raced toward a sandy beach. a u a TANAR whipped out his dirk and slashed the halyards, bringing the sail down as the boat’s keel touched the ground. Then, seizing Stellara in his arms, he leaped into the shallow water and hastened up the shore. Pausing, they looked back toward the pursuing Korsars, and to their astonishment saw that all three boats were making swiftly toward the rocky shore. “They dare not go back without us,” said Stellara, “or they would never risk that surf.”

“The Cid must have guessed our identity, then, when a search failed to reveal you," said Tanar. "It may also be that they discovered your absence from the dungeon, and, coupling this with the fact that I, too, was missing, someone guessed the identity of the two sailors who sought to pass through the gate and who paid gold for a small boat at the river,” suggested Stellara. "There goes one of them on the rocks,” cried Tanar, as the leading boat disappeared in a smother of water. The second boat shared the same fate as its predecessor, but the third rode through the same opening that had carried Tanar and Stellara to the safety of the beach, and as it did the two fugitives turned and ran toward the forest. Behind them raced a dozen Korsars, and amidst the crack of pistols and arequebuses Tanar and Stellara disappeared within the dark shadows of the primeval forest. The story of their long and arduous Journey through unknown lands to the kingdom of Sari would be replete with interest, excitement and adventure, but it is no part of this story. It is enough to say that they arrived at Sari shortly before Ja and Gara made their appearance, the latter having been delayed by adventures that almost had cost them their lives. The people of Sari welcomed the Amiocapian mate that the son of Ghak had brought back to his own country. And Gura they accepted, too, because she had befriended Tanar, though the young men accepted her for herself, and many were the trophies that were laid before the hut of the beautiful Himean maiden. But she repulsed them all, for in her heart she held a secret love that she never had divulged, but which, perhaps, Stellara had guessed and which may have accounted for the tender solicitude which the Amiocapian maid revealed for her Himean sister. n tt a CONCLUSION AS Perry neared the end of the story of Tanar of Pellucldar, the sending became weaker and weaker until it died out entirely, and Jason Gridley could hear no more. He turned to me. “I think Perry had something more to say,” he said. “He was trying to tell us something. He was trying to ask something.” “Jason,’’ I said, reproachfully, “didn’t you tell me that the story of the inner world is perfectly ri-

diculous; that there could be no such place peopled by strange reptiles and men of the stone age? Didn’t you insist that there is no emperor or Pellucldar?” “Tut-tut,” he said. “I apologize. I am sorry. But that is past. The question now is what can we do.” “About what?” I asked. “Do you not realize that David Innes lies a prisoner in a dark dungeon beneath the palace of The Cid of Korsar?” he demanded with more excitement than I had ever known Jason Gridley io exhibit. “Well, what of It?” I demanded. “I am sorry, of course; but what in the world can we do to help him?” “We can do a lot,” said Jason Gridley, determinedly. I must confess that as I looked at him I felt considerable solicitude for the state of his mind, for he evidently was laboring under great excitement. ‘Think of it!” he cried. “Think of that poor devil buried there in utter darkness, silence, solitude—and with those snakes'” He shuddered. “Snakes crawling all over him, creeping across his face as he sleeps, and nothing else to break the monotony—no hnman voice, the song of no bird, no ray of sunlight. Something must be done. He must foe SBiV6d ** “But who Is going to do it?” I asked. “I am!" replied Jason Gridley. THE END. (CooviUrht. 1931. bv Metropolitan Newspaper Feature Service.

TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION

Flora Hawkes possessed a crafty brain in addition to her obvious good looks. In England she had had a very checkered career—all the way from “lady's maid” to a recognized queen of the underworld. It was in the former capacity, in the Greystoke’s London town house, as well as at the African bungalow, that her fertile brain conceived the shrewd plot upon which she was now embarked. And which, with the coming of the ape-man, now seemed upon the of failure?

She had learned much in detail concerning the fabulous wealth of the treasure vaults of Opar. Largely through the conversation of the Greystokes, since she had been their trusted servant Unscrupulous and brainy, Flora had managed to copy maps and obtain other valuable information concerning the ruined city—all stolen at various times from Lord Greystoke's private desk. Constant dreaming of this hidden fortune had aroused in her the desire for possession of enough golden ingots from Opar to make her rich for life,

The entire brilliant scheme had been Flora’s. First, she had interested Kraski, her lover, in it. He then had f9und the other men and together, by hook and crook, they raised the necessary money to defray the cost of the expedition. Her trump card had been the successful search for a man who could impersonate Tarzan of the Apes In his own jungle. This man she had found in Esteban, a handsome, powerful and thoroughly bad Spaniard. Aside from being physically courageous, Esteban was past master of the art of acting.

Thus fai there had been no hitch whatever in the whole plan. Things had progressed famously. Esteban was even now carrying out his part of the plan farther away in the interior But the unexpected always happens. Tarzan himself had dropped upon them, apparently from the heavens . . . Flora watched Kraski pour a portion of the vial’s liquid into one of the coffee cups ... Breathless she saw the apeman bow politely to his host. Would he suspect? Weak with suspense the girl collapsed upon her cot as outside the tent, Tarzan of the Apes drained his cup with the fatal drop*
