the -Arab who was urging on his men
to burn the village fell in his tracks,
and the Manyuema threw away their
torches. and fled from the village. The
last Tatman saw of them they were
racing toward the jungle, while their
former masters knelt upon the ground
and fired at them,
But, however angry the Arabs might
have been at the insubordination ot
.t heir ' slaves, they were at least con-
vinced that it would be the better part
•of wisdom to forego the pleasure of
firing the village that had given them
two such nasty receptions. In their
hearts, however, they swore to return
again with such a force as would en-
lable'thera to sweep the entire country
tor miles 'around until no vestige eof-
?Inman life remained:.
, TheY bad looked in vain for the own-
- ler of the voice which had frightened
itnt the men who had been detailed to
put the torch to the huts, but not even
the keenest eye among them had been
• able to locate hint. They had seen the
!puff of smoke from the tree following
..the shot that brought down the -Arab,
;but, though a volley had immediately
e'been loosed into its foliage, there had
been no•indlcation that it bad been ef-
•lfective.
; Tarzan was too intelligent .to be -
•!caught in any such trap, and so the re-
,iport of his shot had scarcely died away
ibefore the ape -mak was on the ground
.,and racing for another tree a hundred
iyards away. Here he again found a
•;suitable perch from which he could
•;svatch the preparations of the raiders.
;It occurred to:him that he might have
•;considerable more fun with them, so
..again he called to them through his
i
.improvised trumpet.. .
"Leave the ivory!" he cried. "Leave
-Abe ivory! Dead men have no use for
, ivory!" .
• Some of the Manyuema started to
:lay down their loads, but this wasal-
,:together too much•for the avaricious
?Arabs. With loud shouts and curses
•7they aimed their guns full upon the
-!bearers, threatening instant death to
'2!any who might lay down his load.
.:They could give up firing the village,
'but the thought of abandoning this
. enormous fortune in ivory was quite
•beyond their conception. Better death
. than that.
And so they marched out of the vil-
lage of the Waziri, and on the shout-
. ders of their slaves was the ivory ran-
' soul of a score of kings. Toward the
. north they marched, back toward their
• savage settletnent
'Under Tarzan's guidance the black
,Waziri warriors stationed themselves
. aioug the trail on either side in the
- densest underbrusb. They stood at far
intervals, and as the column passed a
: single arrow or a heavy spear, well
. aimed, would pierce a Manyuema or,
. an Arai). Then the Waziri would melt
into the distance and run ahead to
• take his stand farther on. They did
not strike unless success were sure and
1:the danger of detection almost nothing,
. and so the arrows aud the spears were
few and far between, but so persistent
. and luevitable that tbe slow moving
column of heavy laden raiders was in
: a cotiatant state of panic -panic at the
.pierced body of the comrade who ha4.

ho the next would be to fall and

It was with the greatest difficulty',
that the Arabs prevented their men a
...dozen times from throwing away their
bardea aud fleeing like frightened
rabbits up the trail toward the north.
'And so the day wore on -a frightful
40.._ nightmare of a day for the raiders -a
,•day of weary but well repaid work for
the Waziri. At night the Arabs con-
--structed a rude home in a little clear-
ing by a river and went into camp.
• At intervals during the night a rifle
Would bark close above their heads,
.and one of the dozen sentries whicli
they now had posted would tumble to
the ground. Sueh a condition was in-
-supportable, for they why that by,

;Would be completely wiped out, one by

As the voice died down the raider4
stood as though turned to stone. The
Arabs eyed their Manyuema slaves.
The slaves looked first at one of their
fellows and then at another. They
were but waiting for some one to take
the inititaive. There were some thirty
Arabs left and about 160 blacks. All
were armed -even those who were act -
lug as porters had their rifles .slung
across their backs.
The Arabs drew together. The sheik
ordered the Manyuema to take up the
march, and as he spoke be cocked his
rifle and raised it. But at the same
instant one of the blacks threw down
his load, and, snatching his. rifie.frone
his back, fired point blank at tb group
of whites. In an instant the camp

That night the vlllnge 'arrlors held

old Waziri's death Taman bad been
directing the warriors In battle, and
the temporary comma& had been
tacitly conceded to him. There had
been no time to choose a new chief
from among their own uumber, and in
fact so remarkably successful had they
been under the ape -moil's generalship
that they had had no wish to delegate
the supreme authority to another for
fear that whet they nitwity had gain -

the disastrous charge ordered by Wa-
zirl, in which be himself lied died, that
it had not been difficult for them to
accept Tarzan's authority as final,
't The principal warriors sat in a circle
about a smallefire to discuss the rela-
tive merits of whomever might be sug-
gested as old Wazirrsesuccesser. it
,was 'Busuli who spoke first;
( "Since Waziri is dead, leaving no
son, there is but one among us whom
we know from experience is fitted to
!make us a good king. Teem is only
one wbo has proved that be can suc-
cessfully lead us against the gnus of
the white man end bring us easy vic-
tory without the loss of a single life.
There is only one. and thnt is the
•ivhite mat who has led ns for the past
few days." And Busuli sprang, to his
feet and, with uplifted spear and half
bent, crouching body, commenced to
dance slowly about Tarzan, chanting
slowly in time to his steps: "Waziri,
,king of the Waziri! Waziri, killer of
,Arabs! Waziri, king of the Waziril"
1 One by one the other warriors sign'.
ted their acceptance of Tarzan as their
'king by joining in the solemn dance.
The women came and squatted about
ithe rim of the circle, beating upon
tomtorns, chipping their hands in time
to the steps of the dancers and joining
lin the chant of the warriors. In tbe
;center of the circle set Tarzan of the

and pistols. The Arabs stood togeth-
er end defended their lives valiantly,
but with the rain of lead that poured
upon them from their own slaves and
the shower of arrows and spears which
now leaped from the surrounding jun-
gle aimed solely at them, there was '
little question from the first what the
outcome would be. It ten minutes
from the time the first porter • had

Arabs lay dead.
When the firing had ceased Tatman
spoke again to the Manyuema:

er and faster grew the pace of the

and savage shouts. The women rose

The week following the induction of
Tarzan into the kingship of the Waziri
was occupied in escorting the Manyu-
ema of the Arab raiders to the north-
ern boundary of Waziri in accordance
with the promise which Tarzan had
made them. Before he left them he
exacted a pledge from them that they
would not lead any expeditions against
the Waziri in the future, nor was it a
difficult promese to obtain. They had
bad sufficient experience with the
fighting tactics of the new Waziri chief
net to have the slightest desire to ac-
company another predatory force with-
in the boundaries of his domain.
Almost immediately upon his return
to the village Tarzan commenced mak-
ing preparations for leading an expedi-
tion in search of the ruined city of gold
which old Waziri had described to MM.
He selected fifty of the sturdiest war-
ribrs of his tribe, choosing only. men
who seemed anxious to accompany him
on the arduous marcb and sliare the
. dangers of a new and hostile country.
The fabulous wealth of the fabled
city had been almost constantly in his
mind. since Waziri bad recounted the
strange adventures of the former expe-
dition which had stumbled upon the
vast ruins by chance. The lure of ad-
venture may have been quite as pow-
erful a factor in urging Tftrzan of the
Apes to undertake the journey as the
lure of gold, but the lure of gold was
there, too, for he bad learned among
civilized men something of the miracles
that may be wrouget by the possessor
of the magic yellow metal. What be

across a low divide, down another
river, Op n third, until at the ('ml
the twenty-flftli day they camped upou
it mountainside, from the sinnrult of
width they hoped to catch their first
view of tile marvelous city of treasure.
Early the nest morning they were
climbing the 111 111081 perpendicular (gags
which formed the last, bet greatest
not t ra 1 barrier between them and their
destination, It was neerlY noon before
Tamen, who headed the thin line of
climbing warriors, scrambled over the
top of the last cliff and stood npon the
little flat tablelaud of the mountain top.
On either hand towered migety peaks
thousands of feet higher than the pass
through which they were entering the
forbidden valley. Behind Um stretched
the wooded valley across which they
had marched for many days. and at the
opposite side the low rauge which
marked the boundary of their own
couutry.
But before him was the view that
ceutered his attention. Here lay a
desolate valley -a shallow, nftrrow val-
ley dotted with stunted trees and cov-
ered with tunny great boulders. And
on the far side of tbe valley lay what
appeared to be a mighty city, its great
walls, its lofty spires. its turrets, mina-
rets.and domes 'showing red and yel-
low in the sunlight. 'Dunn was yet
too far away to note the marks of ruin
-to him it appeared a Wonderful city
of magnificent beauty, and in imagina-
tion he peopled.la broad avenues and
its huge temples with a throng of
, happy, active people. ,
For an bonr the.;' little expedition
rested upon the monataintop, and then
Taman led them dos, Into the valley

way was less arduous than the ascent
of the opposite face of the mountain

of the uppev courses fallen away. /t
was still a formidable defense. On
several occasions Tarzan had thought
that he discerned things moving be- .
hind the ruined portions of the wall
near to them, as though creatures were
watching them from behind the bul-
warks of the ancient pile. And often
he felt the sensation of unseen eyes
upon him, but not once could he be
sure that it was more teen imagina-
tion. .
That night they camped outside the
city. Once, at midnight, they were
awakened by a shrill scream from be-
yond the great Ivan. It was very high
at first, descending gradually until it
ended in a series of dismal moans. It
had a strange effect upon the blacks,
almost paralyzing them witb terror
while it lasted, and it was an hour be-
fore the camp settled' down to sleep
once niore. In the morning it required
considerable encouragement and urg-
ing on Tarzan's part to prevent the
blacks from abandoning the venture
on the spot and hestening back across
the valley toward the cliffs they had
scaled the day before. But at length,
by dint of commends and threats that
he would enter the city alone, they
agreed to accompany him.
For fifteen ntinutes they marched
along the face of the wall before they
discovered a means of ingress. Then
they came to a narrow cleft about
twenty inclies wide. Within a flight
of concrete steps, worn hollow by mu-
turies of use, rose before them to dis-
appear at a sharp turning of the pas-
sage a few yards ahead.
Into this narrow alley Taman made
his way, turning, his giant shoulders
sideways that they might enter at all.
Behind him trailed his black warriorS.
At the turn in the cleft the stairs end-
ed and the path was level, but it
wound and twisted iu a serpentine
fashion, until suddenly at a sharp angle
It debouched upon a narrow court,
across which loomed an inner wall
equally as high as the outer. This bl-
eier wail was set with little round tow-
ers alternating along its entire summit
with pointed monoliths. In places these
had fallen and the Wall was ruined,
but it was in a much better state of
preservation than the outer wall.
Another narrow passage led through
this well., and at its end Tarzan and his
warriors found themselves in a broad
avenue, on the opposite side of which
crumbling edifices of hewn granite
loomed dark and forbidding. Upon
the crumbled debris along the face of
the buildings trees heti grown; and
vines wound in and out of the hollow,
staring windows, but the building di-
rectly opposite them seined less Over-

CHAPTER XXI. i
The Lost City. I
TARZA.N recalled something that
he hail read In the library at
Paris uf 11 lost rine of white
met that native legend describ-
ed as living in the heart of Arrive. He
wondered it be were not looking upon
the ruins of the eiviliaation that this
strange people bad wrought amid the
savage surroundings of 'their strange
and savage home. Could It be possible
that eveu now a rtlifinant of that lost
race inhabited the ruined grandeur
that had once been theft progenitors'?
Again he became conscious of a
stealthy movement within the great
temple before him. .
"Come!" he stela to 11 IS WaZirl. "Let
us have a look at what lies behind
those 'ruined walls."
As Tarzan entered the bnilding he
was distinctly aware of many eyes
upon him. There was a rustling in the
shadows of tt nearby corridor, and be
could have sworn that lie saw a hu-
man hand withdrawn from an embra-
sure that opened above him into the
domelike rotunda in which he found
himself.
The floor of the chamber was of con-
crete, the walls of smooth granite, Upon
which strange figures of men and
beasts were carved. In places tablets
of yellow metal intd been set in the
solid masonry of the wells.
When he approached closer to one of
these tablets he saw that it was of
gold and bore ninny hieroglyphics. Be-
yond this first cliamber there . were
others, and back of them the building
branched out into enormous wings.
Tarzan ,passed throUgh several of these
chambers, finding ninny evidences of
the fabulous wealth of tbe original
builders. In one room were seven pil-
lars of solid gold, and in another the
floor itself was of the precious metal.
And all the while that he explored, his
blacks huddled close together at his
back, strange shapes hovered upon
either hand and before them and be-
hind, yet never close enough that any
might say that they were not alone.
The strain, however, was telling upon
the nerves of the Waziri. They begged
Tarzan to return to the sunlight. They
said that no good could come of such
'an expedition, for the ruins were
!minted by the spirits of the dead who
had once inhabited them.
"They are watching us, oh, king,"
whispered Busull. "They are waiting
until they have led us into the inner
most recesses of their stronghold, and
then they svill fall upon us and tear us
to pieces with their teeth. That is the
way with spirits. My mother's uncle,
who is a great witch doctor, has told
me all about It many times."
Tarzau laughed. "Run back into the
sunlight my children," be said. "1
will join you when I have searched
this old ruin from top to bottom and
found tee gold or found that there is
none. At least we may take the tab-
lets from the walls, though the pilburs
are too heavy for us to handle. But
there should be great storerooms filled
with gold -gold that we can carry
away epon our backs with ease. Run
ou now out into tee fresh alt, where
you may breathe easier."
Some of the warriors started to obey
their chief with alacrity, 101 Busull
and seveisil others hesitated to leave
him -hesitated between love and loyal-
ty for their king and superstitious fear
of the ouknown. And theu. quite un-
exPectedie, that occurred which decid-
ed the question without the necessity
for further discussion. Out of the si-,
lance of the ruined temple there rang
close to their ears the same hideous
shriek tbey had heard the previous
night, and with horrified cries the
black warriors turned and fled through
the empty halls of the age old edifice.
Behind them stood Tarzan of the
Apes where they had left him, a grim
smile upon his lips, waiting for the en-
emy he fully expected was about to
pounce muse him. But again silence
reigned except for the faint suggestion
of the sound of naked feet moving
stealthily in nearby places.
Then Tarzan wheeled and passed on
into the depths of the temple. From
room to room he went until he came to
one at which a rude barred door still
stood, and as he put his shoulder
against it to push it in again the shriek
of warning rang out almost beside him.
It was evident that he was being warn-
ed to refrain from desecrating this par-
ticular room. Or could It be that 'With-
