It was quite evident that he was coming down into tile desert to hunt. It was the roar of a .hengt7, lion. Tarzan envied him, for he was free.

Now the back of tee tent drops into place and all is darkness again -what- ' -ever it Is is inside the tent with him. He hears it creeping close to hlm-now it is beside him. He doses bis eyea and waits for the mighty paw. Upon his upturned face falls tbe gentle touch of a!soft letnd groping in the dark, and then a girl's voice in a scarcely audis ble whisper prottomices his name. . .

"Nevertheless," he ineisted, "you are a very brave girl. But how did you know that I was a prisoner back there?" 'sachmet din Taieb, who is my cous- in on my fathet"s side, was visiting some friends who belong to the tribe that captured you. lae was at the dollar . when you were brought in, When he reached home he was telling Us about the big Frenchman •who had beexr captured by Ali ben Ahmed for another Frenchman who wished to kill Frorn the description I knew that It must be you. My fattiee was away. 1 tried to persuade some of the men to come and save you, but they would not do it, saying: 'Let the unbelievers kill one another if they vrish. It is none of otir affair, and if we go and interfere with Ali ben Alined's plans we shall only stir up a figbt with our own people.' "So when it was dark I came alone, riding one horse and leading another for you. They are tethered not far from here. By morning we shall be within rny father's douar. Ele should be there himself by now-tben let thein come and try to • take tandem. hen Saden's friend." For a few moments they walked on In silence. "We should be near the horses," she said. • "It is strange that 1 do not see thein here." Then a Moment later she stopped, with a littte cry of consternation. 'They are gone!" she exclaimed. "It Is here that I tethered them." Tamen) stooped to examine the ground. He found that a large shrub had been torn np by the roots. Tben he round something else. There was a wry smile on his face as he rose and turned toward the girl. "Iel mirea has been here. nem the sigus, though, I rather think that his prey escaped him. With a little start they would be safe enough from him in the open." There was nothing 'to do but arm - Untie on foot. The way led them across a low spur of the mountains, but the girl knew the trail as welt as she did her mother's face. They walked in easy, swinging strides, Tarzan keeping a band's breadth behind the girl's shoulders that she might set the pace and thus be less fatigued. As they wtilked they talked, occasionally stop- ping to listen for sounds of pursuit,. It was a beautiful moonlit night. The air was crisp and invigorating. Behind them lay the interminable vista or the desert, dotted here and there with an occasional oasis. The date palms of the little fertile Spot they had just left and the circle of goatskin tents stood out in sharp relief against the yellow sand -a phantom pahdise epee a pbantom sea. Before them rose the grim and silent mountains. Tar- zan's blood leaped in his viens. This was life! He looked down Upon the girl beside him -a daughter of the des- ert walking across the face of a dead world with it son of the jungle. He smiled at the thought. He wished that he had had a sister and that she had been like this girl. What a bully chum she would have been! They had entered the tnountains now and were progressing more slow- ly, for the trail was :deeper and very rocky. For a few minutes they bad been si• lent. The girt was wondering If they would reach leer father's dotter before the pursuit bad otertaken them. Tar- zan was wishing that they might walk On Um forever. If the girl were only a man they might. 11e longed for a friend who loved the same wild life that he loved. Lie had learned to crave companionship, but it was his misfortune that most of the nien he knew preferred immaculate linen end their clubs to tiakedness and the jun- gle. It was, of course, diilicult to un- derstand, yet it was very evident that they did. • The two had just turned a projecting rock around which the trail ran when they were brought to h sudden step. There before them, directly in tbe mid- dle of the path, stood Mums, el adrest, the black lion. ilis green -eyes looked Very *idled, and he bared his teeth and lashed his bay black sides with his angr3r tail. Then he roared -the fearsome, terror inspiring roar of the hungry lion Which is also angry. "Your knife," said Tarzan to the girl, extending his hand. She sleiped the hilt of the Weepon into his wait, Jig Minx As his fingers doSed upon the dreW her hack and numbed her be- hind hint "Walk back to the desert As rapidly as you can.

With a little cry of fear she shrank away from him. She thought that the fearful strain of the encounter had driven him Mad. As the last note of that fiendish challenge died out in the diminishing echoes of the distance the man dropped his eyes until they rested upon the girl. Instantly his face was lighted by the kindly senile that was ample assurance of his sanity, and the girl breathed freely once again, snillieg in response. "What manner of man are you?" she asked. "The thing you have done is unheard of.
