Chapman --------- • - . —sus seemed to satisfy the officer, and after taking the names of the par- ty he marched his men on toward the !Beene of the skirmish to bring back ;the dead men for purposes of identitl- cation if possible. • Two days later Kadour ben Satiate with his daughter and followers, rode eoutla through the pass below Bou Sae - bound for their horae in the far ;wilderness. The sheik bad urged Tier- izan to accompany him, and the girl lima added her entreaties to those of ,her father; but, though he could not liexplain it to thene Tarzan's dialed :loomed particularly large after the • iliappenings of the past .few days so iehat he could not thinb of leaving his 'fent for an instant. But he promised come later if it lay within bis power ;to do so, and they bad to conteut them- 7ee1yes, with that assurance. During these two days Tarzan had esisent practically all his time with Ka - dour ben Sedan and his daughter. He :ccetts keenly interested in this race of • 'stern and dignified warriors and em - 'braced the opportunity which their 'friendship offered to learn what he could of their lives and customs, In .bis bead revolved an idea that when ;be had completed his mission he would ,resign and return to live for the re- =Wieder of his life with the tribe of Kadour ben Saden. The front of the Hotel du Petit Sa- 'bare, where Tarzan stopped in Bon Simla, is taken up with the bar, two -dining rooms and the kitchens. • Both .of the dining rooms open directly off the bar, and one of them is reserved for'the use of the officers of the garri- son. -As you stand in the barroom ,you may look into either of the dining rooms if you wish. It was to the bar that Tarzan re- paired after speeding Kadour ben • :Saden and his party on their way. It was yet early in the morning, for Ka - dour ben Saden had elected to ride fax 'that day, so that ithappened that when Tarzan returned there were guests still :at breakfast. ,* As his casual glance wandered into •the officers' dining room Taman saw something which brought a look' of in- •terest to his eyes. Lieutenant Gernois was sitting there, and as Tarzan look- ed a white robed Arab approached and, bending, whispered a few words Into Abe lieutenant's ear. Then- be passed .on out of the buelding through another door. In itself the thing was nothing, but :as the man had stooped to speak to the -officer Tarzan caught sight of sotne. , -thing which the accidental parting of the man's burnoose revealed—he car- ried his left arm in a eting. CHAPTER X. Name "El Adreafi N the same day that Kadour ben Saden rode south the diligence from the north brought Taman a letter from D'Arnot which • had been forwarded f ram Sidebel- Abbes. Here is the letter: My Dear Jean -.Since last I wrote you / have been across to London on a matter • of business: I was there but theta days. The very first day I came upon an old friend of yours quite unexpectedly In 'Henrietta street. Now, you never in the world would guess whom. None other :than Mt. Samuel T. Philander.

Your sincere friend, PAUL D'ARNOT. I "I fear," mused Taman, belt aloud, ' "that Olga has thrown away her 20,- 000 francs." • He read over that part of D'Arnoes letter several times in which he had quoted from his conversation with ;lane Porter. Tarzart tierired a rather pathetic happiness from it, but it was :better than no happluess at all. The following three weeks at Bon *lade were quite uneventful. Geruois, never cordial, kept more than ever adopt' from Taman since the episode In the dining room of the !tote! at Au- tnale. His attitude on the few occa- sions that they had been thrown to- gether had been distinctly hostile. That he might keep up the appear - lune of the character he was playing Taman spent considerable time hunt- ing in the vicinity of Bou Saada. Once, probably because of the fact that he rode alone, be was like to have lost his .life. He was riding slowly through a little ravine when a shot sounded close behind hint and a bullet passed through the cork helmet be wore. Al- though he turned at Once and galloped raeldly to the top or the ravine, there was no sign of any enemy, nor did he see aught of another human being un- til he reached Bou Saada. "Yes," he soliloquized In recalling the oceurrence, "Olga bas indeed thrown :may her 20,000 francs." • One night be was Captain Gerard's guest at it little dinner. "Your huntiug has not been very for- tunate?" questioned the'officer. "No," replied Taman. "I ttrink 1 snail move on farther south and have a try at some of your Algerian lions." . "Good!" exclaimed the captain. "We are ,marching toward -Djelfa on the wOrrow. You shall hnve company that far at least. Lieutenant Gernois :2nd I, with 100 men, are ordered south to patrol a district in which the marauders are giving considerable trouble. Possibly we may have the pleasure of hunting the lion together. What say you?" Taman was more than pleased, nor did he hesitate to say so, lint the ettp4 tain would have been astonished had be known the real reason of Tarzan's pleasure. Gernois was sitting opposite the ape -man. Be did not seera so pleased with his captithes invitation. "Yon will II d lion buntlng more ex- ritbng teen gazelle shooting," remark- ed Captain Gerard, "and more dan- gerous." "Even gazelle sbooting has its dan- gers," replied Tarzan, "especially when one goes alone. I found it so to- day-. I also found that, while the git- • zetIe is the most timid of animals, It is not the most cowardly." Tamab saw a dull red creep tip from beneath •G * collnr. Fe isfied and quickly changed the subject. Wben ttie eoluinti• Boa Saada the next morning there Were half a dozen Arabs bringing up the rear. • "They accompany us on the road for companionship," &Mil Gerard. Taman had learned enough about Arab character .since he bad been in Algeria to know that this was no reat motiee, for the Arab is inever overfona of the cotnpan!onshlp• . and espetially of French soldiers. ne was cOnvinced that there were hired assassins on his trail, nor was he In great doubt bilt that Itokoff was at the Iot Whether It was to be retenge or Wns In some way , eonneeted with his mission in the (ler- nois affair he colild net determine. If the latter, and It seetned probable skied the etritlence he had had that Geed% suspected hire, then he had two rather powerful ettetties to con- tend with. ' After camping et Djelfa for twO days the eelunin Moved to the seetth- West, froth whence word had come that the marauders were operating against the tribes whose &mars were situated at the foot of the toomitaing. The little band of Arabs WhO had accompanied them from lieu Salida disappeared suddenly the very night that orders had been given to prepare for the MOrrOw'S niarch front Djelfa. • had *Men Gernois 111Converge- gen With One of thetn Sonia half hour after • Colette) (leant had issued Ills instrIletions relative to the new meVe• Only Gernois tine Taman knew tile di- rection of tile proposed march. Late that Aftertieou they went Into Camp at a little oasts in which wits the donee of a sheik whose awes were be - fug stolen and whose herdsmen were being killed. Taman, who by thls time, with the assistuuce of Abdul, had picked up quite a smattering of Arable, questioned one or the younger Melba. No, he bad seen no pitrty of slx borsemeu riding front the direction of Dielfa. There were other oases seitt- tered about. Possibly they had been journeying to one of' these. Early tlie next morning Captain Gerard split his command in two, giv- ing Lieutenant Germ& command ot oue party, while he headed the other, Tbey were to scour the mountains upou opposite sides of the plain. "And with which detachment will M. Taman ride?" aseed the captain. "Or maybe it is that monsieur dues not care to bunt marauders?" "Oh, I sball be delighted to go," Tar- zan hastened to explain. Be was won- dering what excuse he could make to accompany Geruols. Elis embarrass- ment was short lived and was relieved from a most unexpected source. It was Gernois hlinsell' who spoke. "If my captain will forego the pleas- ure) of M. Trtrzan's connotny for this onee I shall esteem it an honor indeed to have monsieur ride with me today," he said, nor was his tone lacking in cordiality—in fact, Tarzan imagined that be bad overdone it a trifle. And so it was that Lieutenant Ger- nois and Tarzan rode off side by side at the head of the little detachment ot s,pahis. Gernois' cordiality was short lived. No sooner had they ridden out of sight of Captaie Gerard and his men than he lapsed once more int() his ac- ctistomed taciturnity. As they advanc- ed the ground became rougbev. Stead- ily it ascended toward the mountains, into which they aled through a narrow canyon close to 'loon. By the side of a little rivulet Gernots called the mid- day halt. Here the men prepared and ate their frugal meal and refilled their canteens. After an hour'srest they advanced again along the canyon until they pres- ently came to a little valley, from which several rocky gorges diverged. "We shall separate here," Gernois said, "several riding into each of these gorges." And then be commenced to detail bis various squads and issue in- structions to the noncommissioned of- ficers who were eto command them. When he had dote he turned to Tar- zan. "Monsieur will be so good as to remain here until we return." Tarzan demurred, but the officer cut him short. "There may be fighting tor one of these sections," he said, "and troops mullet be embarrassed by dvil- Ian noncombatants during action." A moment Tater Tarzan found himself alone in the midst of a desolate moun- tain fastness. The sun was hot, so be sought the shelter of a nearby tree, tels.ere he tethered his horse and sat down upon the ground to smoke. Inwardly he swore at Gerde for the trick he had played upon him. A mean little re- venge, thought Tarzan, and then sud- denly it occurred to him that the man would not be such ti fool as to aatag- onize him through a trival annoyance of so petty a description. There must be pometlaing deeper than this behind it. With' the thought he arose and re - Moved bis rifle from its boot He look- ed to its loads and saw that the usage - zine was full. Then he inspected his revolver. After this preliminary pre- caution he scanned the surrounding heights and the mouths of the several gorges—he was determined that he should not be Ought napping. The sun sank lower and lower, yet there was no sign of reterning At last the valley was submerged in shadow. Tarzan was too proud to go back to camp until he had given the detachment ample time to return to the valley, which be thought was to have been their rendezvous. With the closing in of night he felt safer Atm, attack, for he was at home in the dark, and he fell asleep, with his back against the tree. He must have slept for several hours, for when he tvas suddenly awakened by the frightened snorting and piling - big of his horse the moon was shining full upon the little ranee, and there, not ten paces before him, stood the • grim ause of the terror of his mount. Superb, majestic, his graceful tail ex- tended raid qulverthg, and ble' ttro eyes of tire riveted full upon his prey, stood Numa, el adrea, the black lion. A lite tle thrill of joy tingled through War- zan's nerves. It was like meeting ati old friend after years of seperation. Foe a moment be sat rigid to enjoy the raagnifleent spectacle Of this lord of the wilderness. But now Nutna was crouching foe the spring. Vet er slowly Tarzan raised his gtin"t0 hie shoulder.

At the same instant the tenet -fed horse made a last frantic effort to escape. The tether parted. and he went careen- ing; down the canyon toward the des- ert. No ordinary man could have eseaped those frightful claws when Num spraug from so short a distance. But Taman was no ordinary man. From earliest childhood his muscles had been trained by the tierce exigencies or els existence to ad with the rnpidity ot thought. As quick as was el adrea Taman of the Apes was quicker, and so the great beast crashed against a tree, where he had expected to feel the soft flesh of man, while Tarzan, a couple of paces to the right, putnped another' bullet into him that brought him, clawing and roaring, to his side. Twice more Taman fired in quick succession, and then el adrea lay still and roared no more. It was no longer M. Jean Tarzan. It was Tarzan of the Apes that put n savage foot upon the body ot' his savage kill and, raising his face to the full moon, lifted his mighty voice In the weird and terrible chat- ' lenge of his kind—a buil ape had made his kill. And the wild things in the wild mountains stopped in their bunt - bug and trembled at this new and awful voice, while down itt the desert the children of the wilderness came out of their goatskin tents and looked • toward the mountains, wondering .what new and savage scourge had cotne to devastate their flocks. CHAPTER X. . Through the Valley of the Shadow, ALIALle mile from the valley in which Tarzan stood a score ot white robed figures, bearing long, wicked looking guns, halt- ed at the sound and looked at one an- other with questioning eyes.

Presently a new sound—a soft, stealthy sound—obtruded itself among the others. No Inman ears other Mau the ape -man's would have detected it. At first he did not translate it, but finally he realized that it came from the bare feet of a number of' human beings. They were behind him, and they were coming toward him quietly. He was being stnlked. In a flash he knew why he bad been left in that little valley by Genets, but there had been a hitch in the arrange- ments—the men had come too late. °loser and closer came the footsteps. Tarzan halted and faced them, his rifle ready in his hand. Now be caught a fleeting glimpse of a white burnoose. He called aloud in ?Preach, asking what they would ot bim. His reply • was the flash of a lotg gun, and with , the sound of the shot Tarzan of the ' Apes plunged forward upon bis face. 1 ' The Arabs did not rush out immedi- ' ately; instead, they waited to be sure that their victim did not rise. Then they came rapidly from their conceal- ment and bent over him. It was soon apparent that be was not dead. One of the men put the muzzle of his gun to the back of Tarzan's bead to finish him, but another waved him aside, "If we bring him alive the reward is to be greater," explained the latter. So tbey bound his hands and feet and, picking him tip, placed him on the sboulders of four of' their number. The the march was resumed toward the desert. When they had come out of the mountains they turned toward the south anti about daylight came to the spot where their borses stood in care of two of thele number. 1 IFrom, here on their progress was ! more rapid. Tarzan, who had regained consciousness, was tied to a spare 1 horse, which they evidently had brought for the pnrpoSe. His wound was but a slight scratch, wbich had furrowed the flesh across his temple. It bad stopped bleeding, but the dried and clotted blood smeared his face and clothing. He bad said no word sines he had fallen into the hands of these Arabs nor had they addressed him ' otber than to issue a few brief com- mands to him tvben the horses had been reached. For six bouts they rode rapidly across the btliming desert, avoiding the oases near Which their way led. About , noon they came to a douar of about • twenty tents, Here they halted, and • as one of the Maths was releasing tbe alfa grass ropes which bound him to his mount they were surreunded by a mob of men, Women and children. Many of the tribe, and more especial- ly the wonieb, appeared to take delight in heaping insults npon the prisoner, and some had even gene so far as to tbrow stones at him and strike him with sticks when an old sheik appear- ed and drove them away.
