Readers of Tarzan of the Apes" there were millions of them have been awaiting with zan." 77ze neecf no introduc tion to the ape-man, who was an English lord by ancestry and an inhabitant of the treetops by fate until the same fate brought him out and made him a civilized man after twenty years of life among the great apes of Africa. His adventures, as wonderful and interesting as any set forth in words, have been the center of interest in a story that is unique in its originality. 1'Jow we have "The Return of Tarzan," as thrilling as its fore runner. In it are told the fur ther adventures of the splendid ape-men, who at last wins his way to the side of his true love after facing countless perils by land and sea. Whoever read "Tarzan of the Apes" needs no invitation to peruse this story. Others are wzrned that after they read this sequel to "Tarzan of the Apes" they won't be satisfied until they have read that story also. CHAPTER XX. In Search of Gold. '1 1 4 n a moment the Manyuema r hesitated. They had no stom ach to retrace that difficult three days' trail. They talk ed together iu low whispers, and one turned toward the jungle, calling aloud to the voice that had spoken to them from out of the foliage. "How do we know that when you have us in your village you will not kill us all?" he asked. "You do r.ot know." replied Tarzan. "other than that we have promised not to harm you if you will return our ivory to us. Uut this you do know, that it lies within our power to kill you all if you do not return as we d; rcct. and are we not more likely to do to if you anger us than if you do as we bid?" "Who are you that speaks the tongue of our Arab masters?"' cried the Man yueraa spokesman. "Let us see you and then we shall give you our an swer.' Tarzan stepped out of the jungle a dozen paces from them. "Look."' he said. When they saw that he was white they were filled with awe. for never Lad they seen a white savage before, and at his great mus cles and giant frame they were struck with wonder and admiration. "You may trust me," said Tarzan. "So long as you do as I tell you and harm none of my people, we shall do you no hurt. Will you take up our ivory and return in peace to our vil lage or shall we follow along your trail toward the north as we have followed for the past three days?" The recollection of the horrid days that had just passed was the thing that finally decided the Manyuerua. and so. after a short conference, they took up their burdens and set off to retrace their steps toward the village of the Waziri. At the end of the third day they marched into the village gate and were greeted by the survivors of the recent massacre, to whom Tarzan had sent a messenger !n their temporary camp to the south on the day that the raiders liatl quitted the' village, telling them that they might return in safety. It took all the mastery and persua sion that Tarzan possessed to prevent the Waziri falling on the Manyuema twt!i and nail and tearing them to pieces, but when he had explained that he had given his word that they would rot be mo'ejted if they carried the ivory back to the spot from which they had stolen it and had further impress oil upon his people that they owed their entire victory to him they finally acceded to his demands and allowed the cannibals to rest in peace within their palisade. That uight the village warriors held m big palaver to celebrate their victo ries and to choose a new chief. Since old Waziri's death Tarzan had been directing the warriors in battle, and the temporary command had been tacitly conceded to him. There bad b.Mi no time to choose a new chief from among their own number, and in fa t so remarkably successful had they Uvii under the ape-man's generalship that they had had i vish: tv delegate tut supreme a ut horrify. -to another, for fear that what they already had gain f u;ig.t btloU . XLtx had 5o recent ly seen the tes't lf ni unitig counter to this gavaye H'hUe. man's advice in RICE it, Ml by W. G. Chapman tne tftrous charge ordered by TVa- ziri. I" which be bimself had died.tbru it had nut Ul,n tlifiic.uit for tneuJ lo accept Tnrzan's authority as final. Th? principal warriors sat iu a circle ', tive merits of whomever might be sug gested as old Waziri's successor. It was Husuli 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. There is only one who has proved that he can suc cessfully lead us against the guns of the white man and bring us easy vic tory without the loss of a single life. There is n!y one. and that is the white man who has led us for the past few days." And Iiusuli sprang to his feet and. with uplifted spear and half bent, crouching liodv. 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 Waziri" One by one the other warriors signi fied their acceptance of Tarzan as their king by joining in the solemn dance. The women came and squatted about the rim of the circle, beating upon tomtoms, clapping their bands in time to the steps of the dancers and joining in the chant of the warriors. In the center of the circle sat Tarzan of the Apes Waziri. king of the Waziri; for. lfke his predecessor, he was to take the name of his tribe as his own. Fast er and faster grew the pace of the dancers, louder and louder their wild and savage shouts. The women rose and fell in unison, shrieking now at the tops of their voices. The spears were brandishing fiercely, and as the dancers stooped down and beat their shields upon the hard tramped earth of the village street the whole sight was as terribly primeval and savage as though it were being staged in the dim dawn of humanity, countless ages in the past. As the excitement waxed the ape man sprang to bis feet and joined in the wrld ceremony. In the center of the circle of glittering black lodies he leaped and roared and shook his heavy spear in the same mad abandon that enthralled his fellow savages. The last remnant of his civilization was for gotten. He was a primitive man to the fullest now. reveling in the free dom of the fierce, wild life he loved. gliating in his kingship among these wild blacks. Ah. if Oiga de Coude bad but seen him then could she have recognized the well dressed, quiet young man whose well bred face and irreproach able manners bad so captivated her but a few short months ago? And Jane I'crter: Would she have still loved this savage warrior chieftain, dancing naked among his naked, sav age subjects? And D'Arnot! Could D'Arnot have believed that this was the same man he had introduced into half a dozen of the most select clubs of I'aris? What would his fellow peers in the house of lords have said had one poiuted to this dancing giant, with his barbaric headdress and his metal or naments and said, "There, my lords, is John Clayton. Lord Greystoke." And so Tarzan of the Apes came into a real kingship among men slowly but surely was be following the evolu tion of his ancestors, for bad he not started at the very bottom? The very night that Tarzan of the Apes became chief of the Waziri the woman he loved, Jane Porter, lay dy ing in a tiny boat 'J00 miles west of him upon the Atlantic. Of the six per sons in the boat in which she had es caped from the Lady Alice, only three survived. They were Jane herself. Clayton and Thuran. The oars had been lost when the sailor in charge of them fell asleep and let them drift away, and for weeks the boat had been tossed helplessly about on the waves. The supplies soon gave out The three sailors who bad been with them succumbed to thirst and hunger and bad been heaved over board. Now Jane and her two com panions drifted about in the ocean. They were reduced to the last extrem ity and death would have come as a welcome relief from the tortures they endured. Of the three other boats there had been no sign. The week following the induction of Tarzan into the kingship of the Waziri was occupied in escorting tbe Manyu ema of the Arab raiders to tbe north ern boundary of Waziri in accordance with the promise which Tarzan bad made them. Before be left them he exacted a pledge from them that they would not lead any expeditions against the Waziri in tbe future, uor was it a difficult promise to obtain. They had bad sufficient experience with the fightiug tactics of tbe new Waziri chief not to have tbe slightest desire to ac company auother predatory force with in the boundaries of bis domain. 2 "Almost Tmrnediately upon bis return to the village Tarzan commenced mak ing preparations for leading an expedi tion in search of the mined city of gold which old Waziri bad described to him. lie selected fifty of tbe sturdiest war riors of his tribe, choosing only men who seemed anxious to accompauy him on the arduous march and share the dangers of a new and hostile country. The fabulous wealth of the fabled city bad 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 Tarzan of the Apes to undertake the journey as the lure of gold, but the lure of gold was there, too, for he had learned among civilized men something of the miracles that may be wrought by the possessor of the magic yellow metal. What he would do with a golden fortune in the heart of savage Africa it bad not oc curred to him to consider it would be enough to possess the power to work wonders, even though he uever had an opportunity to employ it. So one glorious tropical morning Waziri. chief of the Waziri. set out at the head of fifty clean limbed ebon warriors in quest of adventure and of riches. They followed the course which old Waziri had described to Tarzan. For days they marched up one river, across a low divide, down another river, up a third, until at the end of the twenty-fifth day they caruped upon a mountainside, from the summit of which they hoped to catch their first view of the marvelous city of treasure. Early the next morning they were climbing the almost perpendicular crags which formed the Inst, but greatet. natural barrier between them and their destination. It was nearly noon lefore Tarzan. who headed the thin line of climbing warriors, scrambled over the top of the last cliff and stood upon the little flat tableland of the mountain top. On either hand towered mighty peaks thousands of feet higher than the pas through which they were entering the forbidden valley. Behind him stretched the wooded valley across which they bad marched for many days, and at the opposite side the low range which marked the boundary of their own country. But before him was the view that centered his attentiou. fJere lay a desolate valley a shallow, narrow val ley dotted with stunted trees and cov ered with many great bowlders. And on the far side of the 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. Tarzan was yet too far away to note the marks of ruin to him it appeared a wonderful city tt magnificent beauty, and in imagina tion he peopled its broad avenues and its huge temples with a throng of happy, active people. For an hour the little expedition rested upon the mountaintop. and then Tarzan led them down into the valley below. There was no trail, but the way was less arduous than the ascent of the opposite face of the mountain had been. Once iu tbe valley their progress was rapid, so that it was still light when they halted before the tow ering walls of the ancient city. The outer wall was fifty feet in height where it bad not fallen into ruin, but nowhere as far as they could see had more than ten or twenty feet of tJn? upper courses fallen away. It 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 frcm 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 than imagina tion. That night they camped outside the city. Once, at midnight, they were awakened by a shrill scream from be yond the great wall. It was very high at first, descending gradually until it ended in a series of dismal moans. It bad a strange effect upon the blacks, almost paralyzing them with terror while it lasted, and it was an hour be fore the camp settled down to sleep once more. 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 hastening back across the valley toward the cliffs they had scaled the day before. But at length, by dint of commands and threats that be would enter tbe city alcue. they agreed to accompany him. For fifteen minutes they marched along the face of the wall lefore they discovered a means of ingress. Then they came to a narrow cleft about twenty inches wide. Within a flight of concrete steps, worn hollow by cen 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 Tarzan 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 In a serpentine fashion, until suddenly at a sharp angle it debouched upon u narrow court, across which loomed au inner wall equally as high as the outer. This in ner wall 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 wag in a much better state or preservation than the outer wall. Another narrow passage led through this wall, and at its end Tarzan and his warriors found themselves in a broad avenue, on tbe opposite side of which crumbling edifices of hewn granite loomed dark jmfl forbidding JTJpou tuecrumb!ed debris along "(lie face of the buildings trees had grown, and vines wound In and out of the hallow, staring windows, but the building di rectly opposite them senied less over grown than the others and in a much better state of preservation. It was a massive pile, surmounted by an enor mous dome. At either side of its great entrance stood rows of tall pillars, each capped by a huge, grotesque bird carved from the solid rock of the mon oliths. As the ape-man and his companions stood gazing in varying degrees of won derment at this ancient city in the midst of savage Africa, several of them became aware of movement within the structure at which they were looking. Dim. shadowy shapes appeared to be moving about in the seruidarkness of the interior. There was nothing tangi ble that the eye could grasp only an uncanny suggestion of life where it seemed that there should be iut life, for living things seemed out of place in this weird, dead city of tbe long dead past. i CHAPTER XXI. ' The Lost City. TARZAN recalled something that he had read in the library at Paris of a lost race of white men that native legend describ ed as living in the heart of Africa. lie wondered if he were not looking upon the ruins of the civilization that this strange people had wrought amid the savage surroundings of tjtir strange and savage home. Could it be possible that even now a remnant of that lost race inhabited the ruined grandeur that had once been their progenitors"? Again he htcnme conscious of a stealthy movement witl.in the great temple before him. "Come:" he said to his Waziri. "Let us have a look at what lies behind those ruined walls." As Tarzan entered tho building he was distinctly aware of many eye upon him. There was a running i;i t!i. shadows of a nearby corridor, and IV could have sworn that he 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 cranite. upon which strange figures of men and beasts were carved. In places tablets of yellow metal had been set in the solid masonry of the walls. When he approached closer to one of these tablets he saw that it was of jrold and bore many hieroglyphics. Be yond this first chamber there were others, and back of them the building branched out into enormous winus Tarzan passed through sever al of these chambers, finding many evidences of the fabulous wealth of the original builders. In one room were seven pil lars of solid goid. and in another the floor itself was of tbe precious metal And all the while that he explored. Lis blacks huddled close together at his back, strange shapes hovered upon either hand and before them and be hind, yet never close enouzli that any might say that they were not :ilne. Thestraiu. however, was telling upon the nerves of the Waziri. They begged Tarzan to return to the sunlight. They said that no jroi.nl could come of su -h an expedition, for the ruins were haunted by the spirits of the dead who had once inhabited them. "They are watching us. :h. king." whispered Busull. "They are waitins until they have led us into tbe inner most recesses of their stronghold, and then they will 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 abo'it it many times." Tarzan laughed. "Bun back into the sunlight, my children." he said. "I will join you when 1 have searched this old ruin from top to bottom au.l fouud the go'd or found that there is uone. At least we may take the tab lets from the walls, though the pillar? are too beav for us to hai.die. But there should le great storerooms tilled with gold gold that we can carry away upon our backs with ease. Bun on now out into the fresh air, where you may breathe easier." Some of the warriors started to obey their chief with alacrity, but BusuM and several others hesitated to leave Vf I'll I. - ' m. They ar watching us, oh, king." him hesitated between love and loyal tr for their k?n ard superstitious fear K Mil II of the "unknown. And then, quite un expectedly, that occurred which derid ed the y.- sti jm without the necessity for further discussion. Out of the si lence of the ruii-ed temple there rang close to their ears the same hideous shriek they had heard the previous night, and with horrified cries t lie black warriors turned ai.d fled through the empty halls of the age old edifice. Behind them stood Tarzan of the Apes where they had left him. n grim smile upon his lips, waiting for the en emy he fully expected was about to pounce upon him. But again silence reigned except for the faint suggestion of the sound of naked feet moving stealthily in nearby places. Then Tarzan w heeled 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, ar.d as . he put his shoulder against it to push it in again the shriek of warning ramr out almost beside him. It was evident that htr was being warn ed to refrain from desecrating this par ticular room. Or could it be th:it with in lay the secret to the treasure stores? At any rate, the very fact that the strange, invisible guardians of this weird place had some reason for wish ing liirn not to enter this particular chamber was smlieieiit to treble Tar zan's desire to do so. and though the shrieking was repeated continuously he kept his shoulder to the door until it gave way before his giant strength to swing open upon creaking wooden hinges. Witnin all was black as the tomb There was no wi: d v to let in the faintest ray of light, and as the corri dor upon which it opened was itself in semidarkness. even the open door shed no relieving rays within. Feeling be fore him upon the floor with the butt of his spear. Tarzan entered the Sty gian gloom. Suddenly the door behind h::n closed and at the same time hands clutched hi:n from every direction out of the darkness. The ape-man fought with ail the sav age fury of self preservation backed by the herculean strength Lh.at was his. But though he felt his blows land and his teeth sink into soft tiesh. there Seemed always to be new hands to take the place of those that he fought off. At last they dragged him down, and slowly, very slowly, they overcame him h.v the mere weight of their numbers. And then they I oend him. fit- bad heard no sound except th' heavy breathing of his antagonists and the noise of the bjttle. lie knew not what raar.'.HT of creatures had captur ol him. but that they were human seemed evident from the fact that they had bound him. Presently they lifted him from the floor, and half dr: gging. half pushing l.ini. they brought him out of the black iha ruber throng!; another doorway into an inner courtyard of the temple. Here he saw his captors. There must have been 10 of th':u short, stocky men. with great beards that covered their faces and fell upon their hairy breasts. The thick, matted hair upon their heads grew low over their receding brows and hung about their shoulders and t'.ieir backs. Their crooked legs were short and heavy, their arms long ::nd muscular. About their loins they wore the skins of leopards and of lions, and great necklaces of the ciaws of these same animals depended upn their breas'.s. Massive circlets of vir gin gold adorned their arms and leg--. For weapons they carried heavy, knot ted bludgeons. r.i:.d in th-? belts that confined their single garments each had a long, wicked looking knife. But the feature of them that made the most startling impression upon their prisoner was their white skins neither in color nor feature was there a trace of the negroid about them. Yet. with their receding foreheads, wicked little close sot eyes and yellow fangs, they were far from prepossessing in appearance During tlie fight within the dark chamber and while they had been drag ging Tarzan to the inner court no word had been spoken, but now several of them exchanged grunting, monosyl labic conversation in a language unfa miliar to the ape-man. and presently they left him lying upon the concrete floor while they trojped of! on their short legs into another part cf the tem ple beyond the court. He had lain within the court for several hours before the fir?t rays of suniigbt penetrated the vertical shaft. Almost simultaneously he hoard the pattering of bare feet in the corridors about him. and a moment later saw the galleries above him fill with crafty faces as a score or more entered the courtyard with him. For a moment every eye was bent upon the noonday sun. and then in uni son the people in the galleries and those in the court below took up the refrain of a low, weird chant. Presently those about Tarzan began to dance to the cadence of their solemn song. For ten minutes or more they kept up their monotonous chant ard steps, and then suddenly and in perfect uni son they turned toward their victim with upraised bludgeons and emitting; fearful howls, the while they contorted their features into the most 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 owli, except that it was wrought from gold, beat back the ad vancing men. , After a moment or two the girl drew a knife frora nor girdle and. leaning over Taran. cut the bonds from bis legs. Then as the men stepped their dance aud appro jched she motioned to hi:n t rrise. Placing the rope that had been about his legs around his neck, she 'led him across the courtyard, the men following ii: twos.. Through winding corridors she led. further and farther into the remoter ! precincts of the temple iiutriThey carne ' to a great chamber 5n"th center of whb-h stood an altar. Then it. was that J Tarzan translated the strange ccremo ! ny tint had preceded his introduction into this holy of holies. He had fallen into the hands of de scendants of the ancient sun worship ers. His seeming rescue by a votaress of the high priestess of the sun had been but a p:irt of the mimicry of their heathen ceremony the sun looking down upon him through the opening at the top of the court had claimed him as his own, and the priestess bad come from the inner temple to save, him from the polluting bauds of worldlings to save him as a human offering to their flaming deity. And had he needed further insurance as to the correctness of Lis theory he had only to cast his eyes upon the browni-!i red stains that caked the stone altar and covered the floor in its immediate vicinity or to the human skulls which grinn"d from countless niches iu 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 skins of wild animals caught about their waists with raw hide belts or chains f 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 ')e head long strings of oval pieces f illing 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 taking each a cup from the female opposite. Then the chant began once more, and pres ently from a dark passageway beyond the altar another female emerged from the cavernous depth beneath the cham ber. The high priestess, thought Tar-can She was a young woman with a rather intelligent and shapely face. Her or nameiits were similar to those worn by her votaries, but much more elaborate, many being set with diamonds. In the girdle she carried a long, jeweled knife, and in her hand a slender wand in lieu of a bludgeon. As she advanced to the opposite sid? of the altar she hal'ed and the chant ing ceased. The priests and priestesses knelt before her. while with wand ex-tend'-d above them she tested a long and tiresome prayer. When he finished her prayer she let tier eyes rest for the first time upon Tarzan. With every indication of con siderable curiosity she examined him from head to foot. Then she addressed him and stood waiting, as though she expected a reply. "I do not understand your language." said Tarzan. "Possibly we may speak together in another tongue?" But she could not understand him. though he tried French. English. Arabic. Waziri and. as a last resort, the mongrel tongue of the West Coast. (To Be Continued.)
