Disillusioned, bitter, an undercurrent of hopelessness surged beneath the sentences: "I no longer read your column. There is no money to buy a paper.” To them the rountrv was as unkind as the citv.

“But it is not my turn yet!” she cried. “While Belthar lives, Nemone lives.” Tarzan recalled then the superstition connected with the royal lion and the Queen. After a moment's silence she continued: "You may live, too, Tarzan. There is something I would rather see you do than see you die!”

Nemone looked anxiously at the ape-man. “Last night.” she said, “I knelt at your feet and begged for love. Kneel here, before my people; kneel'at my feet and beg for mercy, and YOTJ may live!” The Lord oi the Jungle drew himself up proudly as he answered: “Fetch your lion!”
