courtyard with him.
For a moment every eye was bent
upon the noonday sun, and then in eel,
sou the people in the galleries and.
those in the eourt below took up the
refrain of a low, weird hant, Presently
those about Tame began to dance to
the cadence of their solemn Song.
For ten minutes or more they kept
up their monotonous chant and steps,
:Ind then suddenly and in perfect uni-
son they turned toward tlaeir victim
with upraised bludgeons and emitting
fearful bowls, the while they contorted.
their features into the raost diabolical
expressions, they rushed upon him.
At the same instant a female figure
dashed into the' midst of the blood-
thirsty horde, and; with a bludgeon
similar to their own, except that it was
wrought from gold, beat back the ad-
vancing men.
After a moment or two the girl drew
• a knife from her girdle and, leaning
over Taman, cut the bonds from his
legs. Tben as the men stopped their
dance' and approached she motioned to
him to rise. Placing the rope that had
been about his legs around his neck,
she led him across the courtyard, the
men eollowing in twos.
Through winding corridors she led,
farther and farther into the remoter
precificts of the temple until they came
to a great chamber in the center of
whin stood an altar. Then it was that
Taman translated the strange ceremo-
ny that had preceded his introduction
into this holy of holies,
ile bad fallen into the hands of de-
seendants of the ancient sun worship-
ers. His seeming rescue by a votaress
of the high priestess of the sun had -
been -but a part of the mimicry of their
heathen ceremony—the sun looking
clown upon him through the opening at.
the top of the court had elaipaed him
as his own, and the priestess had come
from the inner temple to save him
from the polluting hands of worldlings
—to save him as a unman offering to
their flaming deity.
And had he needed further assurance
as to the correctness of his theory he
had only to cast his eyes upon the
brownish red stains that caked the
stone altar and covered the floor in its
immediate vicinity or to the human
skulls which grinned from countless
niches in the towering 'walls.
The priestess led the victim to the
altar steps. Again the galleries above
filled with watchers, while from an
arched doorway at the east end of the
chamber a procession of females filed
slowly into the room. They wore, like
the men, only sktns of wild animals
caughe about their waists with raw -
bide belts or challis of gold, but the
black masses of their hair were in-
crusted with golden headgear composed
of many circular and. oval pieces of
gold ingeniously held together to form
a metal cap from which depended at
each side of the head long strings of
oval pieces falling to the waist
Each priestess bore two golden cups,
and as they formed in line on either
side of the altar the men formed oppo-
site them, advancing and Melee; each a
cup from the female opposite. Then
tbe chant began once more, and pres-
ently from dark passageway beyond
the altar another female emerged from
the cavernous depth beneath the cham-
ber.
The high priestess, thought Tarzan.
She was a young woman with a rather
intelligent and Shapely face. /ter or-
nament; were sitallar to these worn by
her votaries, but mech more elaborate,
many being set with diamonds. In the
girdle she carried a long, jeweled knife,
and in her hand a slender weed In lieu
of a bludgeon.
As She advencecl to the opposite side
of the altar she hatted and the chant-
ing eeased. The priests and priestesses
knelt before her, while with wand ex-
tended above them she recited a long
and tiresome prayer.
When she finished her prayer she let
her eyes rest for the first time upon
Terzen. With every indication of ode
sidetable curiosity she examined him
from head to foot, Then elle addressed

sacrilegious interruption.
There wasa sudden come:101cm in

close now—creeping with clawlike
hands extended toward her around
the end of the altar. As the brute
leaped past Tarzan to clutch his victim
the ape -man gave one superhuman
wrench at the thongs that held him.
The effort sent him rolling from the
altar to the stone floor on the opposite
side from that on which the priestess
stood, but as he sprang to his feet tlae

Thought She Would Lose
Her Little Girl
From Severe Attacks of Summer
Complaint
Mrs. Wrn. Hirst, 191 Palmerston

date of January 23rd, 1914.

Dear Sirs :—" Last summer I had grave
cnixiety for my little girl, who was just
one year old in July last. She had con-
stant and severe attacks of sunamer
complaint, and it seemed to drag on her
so long despite the many remedies
tried, My neighbors told me she had
grown so weak- they thought I would
loose her. One night While nursing her
an old frienci of mine happened to come
to see me, and after telling her about my
baby's lingering illness she asked nie to
try Dr. Powder's Extract of Wild Straw-
berry. I sent a little girl to our drug
store and bought it bottle, and after
having given the baby one dose I
noticed a remarkable change, and after
giving het three or four doses she was
well again, and began to walk, which
she had not been blc: to de prior to her
attack. She is now a fam hcelthsr
and I owe her life to that kindly adviee
of an old frind 1e•oul I advise (.01
mothers to give "Dr. :Yowler's" it prom-
inent place iit their medicine chest.'

people must have been—the great race
of people weo built this mighty city in
; the heart of a savage world that they
; might wrest from tee bowels of tee
earth the fabulous wealth for which
they had sacrificed their far distant
' civilization.
"I cannot understand why you came
to my rescue in the first place, mad
now I cannot understand why, baring
me within your power, you do not wish
to be revenged upon me for having
gentenced you to death—for having al-
most put you to death with my own

"that you but followed the teachings of
your religion. I canit blame you for
'that, no matter what41 may think of
your creed. But who are you—wbat
;people have I fallen among?'
• "I am La, high priestess of the Tem-
Ple of the Sun, In the city of Opar. We
are descendants of a people who came
to this savage world more than 10,-
000 years ago in search of gold. Their
teltles stretched fro/11a great sea under
the rising sun to a great sea into which
ehe sun descends at night to cool his
'flaming brow. They were very rich
and. very powerful, but they lived only
a few months of the year in their mag-
nificent palaces here, the rest of the
time they spent in their native land,
ffar, far to the north,
"Many ships went back and. forth be-
tween this new world and the old.
During the rainy season there were but
'few of the inhabitants who remained
:here, only those who superintended the
working of the mines by the black
Slaves and the merchants who had to
'stay to supply their wants and the sol-
diers who guarded the cities and the
mines.
' "It was at one of these times that the
great calamity occurred. When the
time came for the teeming thousands,
to return none came. For weeks the
people waited. Then they sent out a
great galley to learn why ho aide eftirie
from the mother country, but though
they sailed about for many months
they were unable to find any trace of
the mighty land that had for countless
ages borne their ancient civilization—
It had sunk into the sea.
"From that day dated the downfall
of ray people, Disheartened and me
happy, they soon became a prey to the
black hordes of the north and tee black
hordes of the south. One by one the
cities were deserted or overcome, The
last remnant was finally forced to take
shelter within this mighty mountain
fortress. Slowly we have dwindled in
power, in civilization, in intellect, in
numbers, until now we are no more
than a small tribe of savage apes.
"In fact, the apes live with us, and
have for many ages. We call them the
first 111Un —we speak their language
quite as much as we do our owe; only
in the rituals of the temple do we
make any attempt to retain our mother
tongue. In time itesvill be forgotten,
and we will speak odly the language of
the apes; In time * will no longer
banish those of our beanie who mate
with apes, nnci in in (line we shall de-
scend to the very beasts from which
ages ago our progenitors may have
sprung."
"But why are you more human than
the others?" asked the man.
• "For some reaeon the women have
not reverted to savagery so rapidly as
the men. It may be because only the
lower types of men remained here at
the time of the great catastrophe, while
the temples -were lled with the eo-
blest daughters of the race. My strain
