U«lt> out, wild bells.’ ’cause music o? any kind seemed to put ’em In a good humor, you'd have smiled; hut we weren't In much mood for laughin', as you can guess. They were in clined. within limits, to let. him do what he liked, but they drew the line pretty sharply at us. It was a mighty consolation to u* all to know that you were runnln’ loose and had the nr chives In your keepin'. "Well, now. young fellah, I'll tell you what will surprise you. You saj you saw signs of men .and fires, trap*, and the like. Well, we have seen th# natives themselves. Poor devils they were, downfaced little chaps, and had enough to make them so. It aeems that the humans hold one side of this plateau—over yonder, tyhere you saw the caves—and the apemen hold this side, and there Is bloody war between them all the lime. That's the situation, so far as I could follow it. Well, yesterday the ape men got hold of a. dozen of the hu man* and brought them In as prison ers. You never heard such a jabber In' and shriekin’ In your life. The men were little red fellows, and had been bitten and clawed so that they could hardly walk. The apemen put two of them to death there and then —fairly pulled the arm off one of them—it was perfectly beastly. Plucky little chaps they are, and hardly gave a squeak. But it turned ns absolutely sick. Summeriee faint ed. and even Challenger had as much as he could stand. I think they have cleared, don't you?" We listened Intently, but nothing save the calling of the birds broke the deep peace of the forest. liord Roxton went on with his story. "I think you have had the escape of your Ilfs, young fellah, my lad It was catehln' those Indians that put you clean out of their heads, else they would have been back to the camp for you as sure as fate and gathered you In. Of course, ns you I said, they have been watchln' us from the beginnln' out of that tree, and they knewr perfectly well that we were one short. However, they could think only of this nevv haul: so it was I. and not a hunch of apes, that dropped in on von In the morning. Well, we had a horrid business after wards My God! what a nightmare the whole thing is! You remember the great bristle of sharp canes down below where we found the skeleton of the American? Well, that is just : under ape town, and that's the jump In-off place of their prisoners. 1 ex pert there's-heaps of skeletons there If we looked for ’em. They have a sort of dear parade ground on the top. and they make a proper cere mony about if. one by one the poor devils have to jump, and the gamo Is to see whether they are merely dashed to pieces or whether they get skewered on the canes. They look us out to see It and the whole tribe lined up on the edge. Four of the Indians jumped, and Ihe caties went through 'em like knittin’ needles through a pat of butter. No wonder we found that poor Yankee's skele ton with the canes growln' between his ribs. If was horrible hut It was dooredly interestin', too. We were all fascinated to see them take tue dive, even when we thought it would be our turn next on the springboard. "Well, It wasn't.—They kept six of the Indians tip for today—that s how l understood it—hut I faney we were to be the star performers of the show. Challenger might get off, hut Sum meriee and I were in the bill. Their language is more than half signs, and it was not hard to follow them. So I thought it was time we made a break for it. I bad been plottln’ It out-a bit, and had one or two things clear in my mnd. It was all on me, for Summeriee was useless and t'hal lenger not much better. The only time they got. together they got slang in’ because they couldn't agree upon the scientific classification of these redheaded devils that had got hold of us. One said It was Ihe dryoplthecua of Java, the other said It was plfhe canthropus. Madness. I call it — Loonies, both. But, as I gay, I had thought out one or two points that were helpful. One was that these brutes could not run as fast as a man In the open. They have short, handy leg*, you aee. and heavy bod ies. Even Challenger could give a few yards in a hundred to the best of them, and 3'0U or T would b» a per fect Shrubb. Another point wax that they knew nothin’ about guns. 1 don't believe they ever understood how the fellow 1 shot came by his hurt. If we could get st our guns there wna no Bayin' what we could do. "So T broke away early thla morn In', gave my guard a kick In the tummy that laid him out. and sprint ed for th* camp. There I got you and th# guna. and here we are." "But th* professor#!" I cried, In consternation. "Well, w# miMt Just go hack and fefcch ’em. I couldn't bring 'em with me. Challenger was up the tree. and Sunimeriee nai not flt for the effort. The only chance tv a* to set the guns and try a rescue. Of course they may scupper them at once In revenge. T don't think they would touch Challenger, but l wouldn't an swer for SurnnierFbe. But they would have had him in any case. Of that l am certain. So I haven't made matters any worse by boltin'. But we are honor hound to go hark «non Quixote mustache bristle with joyous excite ment. His love of danger, his in tense appreciation of the drama of an adventure—all the more Intense for lifting held tightly in ids consist ent view that every peril In life Is a form of sport, a fierce game betwixt you and Fate, and Death as a forfeit, made him a wonderful companion nt such hours. "By George'" he whispered, “here they cornel" From where we, lay we cotdd look down n brown aisle, arched with green, formed by the trucks and branches. Along this a thirty of the ape men were passing. They went In single tire* with bent logs ami round rd back?, their hand# oootisionall> touching the ground, their heads tut u ing to left ami light ns they trotted along. Their crouching gait took away from their height. but I should put them at five feet or s<•. with dong arms and enormous chests. Many oi them cur tied Mink*, and at 11; * • ■* * tain *» they looked like a line » f \§r> hairy and deformed human bclni;*. For a moment I rau^ht t111 • t*,ar cliiopse of them.
