CHAPTER VII.
Man's Reason.
THERE -was one of the tribe of
Tarzan who questioned his au
thority, and that was Terkoz.
the son of Tublat, but he so
feared the keen knife and the deathly
arrows of his new lord that he confin
ed the manifestation of his objections
to petty disobediences and irritating
mannerisms. Tarzan knew, however,
that he but waited his opportunity to
wrest the kingship from him by some
sudden stroke of treachery and so he
was always on guard against surprise.
For months the life of the little band
"went on much as it hnd before, except
that Tarzan's greater intelligence and
his ability as a hunter were the means
f providing for them more bountifully
than ever before. Most of them, there
fore, were more than content with the
change in rulers.
During this period Tarzan paid many
nocturnal visits to the village, where
he often renewed his supply of arrows.
The blacks had not as yet come upon
Tarzan's cabin on the distant beach,
but the ape man lived in constant
dread that, while be was away with
the tribe, they would discover and de
spoil his treasure. So it came that he
spent more and more time In the vi
cinity of his father's last home and
less and less with the tribe.
Presently the members of his little
community began to suffer on account
of his neglect, for disputes and quar
rels constantly arose which only the
king might settle peaceably.
At last some of the older apes spoke
to Tarzan on the subject, and for a
month thereafter he remained con
stantly with the tribe.
Tarzan tired of it as he found that
. . .. ... . ., , ,
kingship meant the curtailment of his
liberty. He longed for the little cabin
and the sun kissed sea. for the cool in
terior of the well built house and for
the never ending wonders of the many
books.
As he had grown older he found
that he had grown away from his peo
ple. Their interests and his were far
removed. They had not kept pace with
him. nor could they understand aught
of the many strange and wonderful
dreams that passed through the active
brain of their human king.
Had Kala lived Tarzan would have
sacrificed all else to remain near her.
but nvw she was dead, and. the playful
friends of his childhood grown Into
surly brutes, he felt that he much pre
ferred the peace and solitude of his
cabin to the irksome duties of leader
ship among a horde of wild beasts.
The hatred and jealousy of Terkoz.
son of Tublat. did much to counteract
the effect of Tarzan's desire to re
nounce his kingship among the apes,
for, stubborn young Englishman that
he .was, he could not bring himself to
retreat in the face of so malignant an
enemy.
That Terkoz would be chosen lead
er In his stead he knew full well, for
time and again the ferocious brute had
established his claim to physical su
premacy over the few bull apes who
had dared resent his savage bullying.
Tarzan would have liked to subdue
the beast without recourse to knife
or arrows. So much bad his great
strength and agility Increased in the
period following his maturity that he
had come to believe that he might
master the redoubtable Terkoz in a
hand to hand fight were it not for
the terrible advantage the anthropoid's
huge fighting fangs gave him over the
poorly armed Tarzan.
One day the tribe was feeding quiet
ly, spread over a considerable area,
when a great screaming rose some
distance east of where Tarzan lay upon
his belly beside a limpid brook, at
tempting to catch an elusive fish in
his quick brown hands.
"With one accord the tribe swung rap
idly toward the frightened cries and
there found Terkoz holding an old fe
male by the hair and beating her un
mercifully with his great hands.
As Tarzan approached he raised his
hand aloft for Terkoz to desist, for the
female was not his, but belonged to a
poor old ape whose fighting days were
long over and who therefore could not
protect his family.
Terkoz knew that it was against the
laws of his kind to strike the woman
of another; but. being a bully, he had
taken advantage of the weakness of
the female's husband to chastise her
because she had refused toive up t;o
hinV a tender young rodent she had
captured.
When Terkoz saw Tarzan approach
ing without bis arrows he continued to
belabor the poor woman in a studied
effort to affront his hated chieftain.
Tarzan did not repeat his warning
Pignal. but instead rushed boldly upon

i hhl3 hi k
Never had the ape man fought so
terrible a battle since that long gone
day when the great king gorilla had
so horribly manhandled him ere the
new found knife had. by accident,
pricked the savage heart.
Tarzan's knife on the present occa
sion but barely offset the gleaming
fangs of Terkoz. and what little ad
vantage the ape had over the man In
brute strength was almost balanced by
the latter's wonderful quickness and
agility.
In the sum total of their points, how
ever, the anthropoid had a shade the
better of the battle, and had there
been no other personal attribute to in
fluence the final outcome Tarzan of
the apes, the young Lord Greystoke.
would have died as he had lived an
unknown savage beast in equatorial
Africa.
But there was that which had raised
him far above his fellows of the jungle,
that little spark which spells the vast
difference between man and brut.
reason. This it was that saved him
from death beneath the iron muscles
and tearing fangs of Terkoz.
Scarcely had they fought a dozen
seconds ere they were rolling upon the
ground, striking, tearing and rending
two great savage beasts battling to the
death.
Terkoz had a dozen knife wounds on
head and breast, and Tarzan was torn
an'f bleeding, his scalp in one place
haJ torn from his head, so that a
great piece hung down over one eye,
obstructing his vision.
But so far the young Englishman
had been able to keep the horrible
fangs from his jugular, and. as they
fought less fiercely for a moment to re
gain their breath. Tarzan formed a
cunning plan. He would worn nis way
" ... . ,. ...
lis tilt; uujci a i iti rv null. v.tiuni"3 iuwvr
with tooth and nail, drive his knife
home until Terkoz was no more.
The maneuver was accomplished
more easily than he had hoped, for the
stupid beast, not knowing what Tar
zan was attempting, made no partic
ular effort to prevent the accomplish
ment of the design.
But when finally he realized that his
antagonist was fastened to him where
his teeth and fists alike were useless
against him Terkoz hurled himself
about upon the ground so violently
that Tarzan could but cling desperate
ly to the leaping, turning, twisting
body, and ere he had struck a blow
the knife was hurled from his hand by
a heavy impact against the earth.
Tarzan found himself defenseless.
Dnring the rollings and squlrmings
of the next few minutes Tarzan's hold
was loosened a dozen times, until final
ly an accidental circumstance of those
swift and ever changing evolution
gave him a new hold with his rigL
hand, which he soon realized was ab
solutely unassailable.
His arm was passed beneath Ter
koz's arm from behind, and his hand
and forearm encircled the back of Ter
koz's neck. It was the half nelson of
modern wrestling which the untaught
ape man had stumbled upon, but di
vine reason showed him in an instant
the value of the thing he had discov
ered. It was the difference to him be
tween life and death.
And so he struggled to encompass a
similar hold with the left hand. In a
few moments Terkoz's bull neck was
creaking beneath a full nelson.
There was no more lunging about
now. The two lay perfectly still upon
the ground, Tarzan upon Terkoz's
back. Slowly the bullet head of the
ape was being forced lower and lower
upon his chest.
Tarzan knew what the result would
be. In an instant the neck would
break. Then there came to Terkoz's
rescue the same thing that had put
him in these sore straits a man's rea
soning power.
"If I kill him." thought Tarzan.
"what advantage will it be to me':
Will it not but rob the tribe of a great
fighter? And if Terkoz Is dead he will
know nothing of my supremacy, while
alive he will be an example to the oth
er apes."
"Ka-goda?" hissed Tarzan in Ter
koz's ear. which in ape tongue means,
freely translated. "Do you surrender?"
For a moment there was no reply,
and Tarzan added a few more ounces
of pressure, which elicited a horrified
shriek of pain from the great beast.
"Ka-goda? repeated Tarzan.
"Ka-goda r cried Terkoz.
"Listen," said Tarzan, easing, up a
triSe. but -not '.releasing ' his hold.-. "I
am Tarzan, king lof the apes. 'mighty
hunter, mighty fighter. In all the jun
gle there Is none so great.
"Yon have said 'Ka-goda to me.
All the tribe have heard. Quarrel no
more with your king or your people,
for next time I shall kill you. Do you
understand?"

"Huh," assented Terkoz.
"And you are satsfied?"
"Huh," said the ape.
Tarzan let him up, and in a few
minutes all were back at their voca
tions as though naught had occurred
to mar the tranquillity of their prime
val forest haunts.
But deep In the minds of the ape
was rooted the conviction that Tarzar
was a mighty fighter and a strangp
creature strange because he had had
it in his power to kill his enemy, but
had allowed him to live, unharmed.
That afternoon as the tribe came to
gether, as was their wont after dark
ness settled on the jungle. Tarzan, hi

of the little stream, called the old
males about him.
"You have seen again today that
Tarzan of the jipes is the greatest
among you," he said.
"Huh," they replied with one voice.
"Tarzan is great."
"Tarzan," he continued, "is not an
ape. He is not like his people. Hi
ways are not their ways, and so Tarzan
Is going back to the lair of his own
kind by the waters of the great lake
which has no farther shore. You must
choose another to rule you. Tarzan
will not return."
And thus young Lord Greystoke took
the first step toward the goal which be
had set himself the finding of other
white men like himself.
The following morning Tarzan. lame.
and sore from the wounds of his bat
tle with Terkoz. set out toward tho
west and the sea coast.
He traveled very slowly, sleeping in
the jungle at night and reaching his
cabin late the following moruing.
For several days he moved about but
little, only enough to gather what fruit
and nuts he required to satisfy the de
mands of hunger.
In ten days he was quite sound
again except for a terrible, half healed
scar which, starting above his left eye.
ran across the top of his had. ending
at the right ear. It was the mark lef:
by Terkoz when he had torn the scalp
away.
During his convalescence Tarzan
tried to fashion a mantle from the
skin of Sabor, the tiger, which had
lain all this time in the cabin. lint he
found the bids dried as stiff as a
board, and, as he knew naught of tan
ning, he was forced to abandon his
cherished plan.
Then be determined to filch what
few garments he could from one of the
black men of Mbonga's village, for he
had derided to mark his elevation
from the lower orders in every possi
ble manner, and nothing seemed to
him a more distinguishing badse of
manhood than ornaments and clothing.
To this end. therefore, he collected
the various arm and leg ornaments he
had taken from the black warriors who
bad succumbed to his swift and silent
noose and donned them all.
About his neck hung the golden chain
from which depended the diamond in
crusted "locket of his mother, the Lady
Alice. At his back was a quiver of ar
rows slung from a leathern shoulder
belt, another piece of loot from some
vanquished black.
About his waist was a belt of tiny
trips of rawhide fashioned by himself
as a support for the homemade scab
bard In which hung his father's hunt
ing knife. The long bow which had
been Kulonga's hung over his left
shoulder.
The young Lord Greystoke was in
deed a strange and warlike figure, his
mass of black hair falling to his shoul
ders behind and cut with his bunting
knife to a rude bang upon his fore
head, that it might not fall before hi?
eyes.
Hair was commencing to grow upon
his fce. All the apes bad hair upon
theirs, but the black men were entirely
hairless, with very few exceptions.
True, he had soeii pictures in his
books of men with great masses of
hair upon lip and cheek and chin; but.
nevertheless, Tarzan was afraid. Al
most daily he whetted his keen knife
and scraped and whittled at his young
beard to eradicate this degrading em
blem of apehood.
And so he learned to shave, rudely
and painfully, it is true, but neverthe
less effectively.
