The ~irl, a g I e a m i n g blonde ;)eauty, figure full, delic~te, voluptuously formed, clad in a single ieopard skin, drew· away from the 1nenace of the eyes and voice of the dark white man, reversion to '• he elemental,· a thousand miles ·om civilization. "Dance, I tell you I" hissed Black John th;rough his wolfish teeth. Her eyes, deeper and more blue than any lake of the Dark Contit·ent, shot a quick glance to the right. There lay the jungle, teemb~ with wild life, fascinating, mystuious with its keen, heartless atruggie for existence crowned by t':e survival of the fittest. Tt was beautiful-and relentless. ) Another quick glance to the left. n~ere the stockade wrested by man from pitiless luxuriant nature. .fary Trevor saw the huts, the bin to which she had been borne r ith her little brother Bobbie after the wreck of the liner "Empress", sole survivors picked up Black John, the beachcomber. In a great •emi-circle before the thatched huts !tt the stockade squatted the black'kinned natives, on one sicle their Patriarch, on the other the drummers with their outlandish hollowed logs covered taut with goat skins. They were waiting for Black ] ohn to call on the· spirit gods of their ancestral jungle, waitin..g .tor him to .remonstra te again the p(JWer of thr white-man's witchcraft. "Dance 1" w.

They ·must perish I" He hung on the word as if it alone would annihilate an enemy. Still grasping Mary Trevor, the delicate, beautiful, high - strung American castaway, by the wrist Black John continued to harangue and e~ort the villagers. He paused before a flat ~one. Seizing a brand from the council fire he aplied it suddenly to a little pile on the stone. Instantly there was a blinding flash and a column of smoke shot high · up in the air. It was Black John's magic by way of casting a spell to set fire to some black gunpowder and overawe the villagers, as a prelude. "This will cast a spell of ter.ror against Tarzan," he shouted boldly. "A curse on Tarzan and his tribe I He will not dare to come near us now I" · that fastened itself. He pulled it tight, swung in a quick arc to the ground, slacked the rope and with , a deft twist pulled it off the limb 1 and down. 1 Handso me an <! .: rect he stood, every muscle play rng smoothly as he gathered his grass rope, coned it, and slung it over his shoulder. Suddenly above the multitudinous sounds of the jungle he heard something that set him in quick motion rashing through the tangle. It was Teeka, the she-ape, belle of the jungle, giving a call for help. The man parted the fronds of underbrush in time to catch a glimpse of Taug, an interloper, strange to that part of the jungle, as the powerful arms of the ape grasped Teeka about to bear her off. Teeka cliattered and screamed in terror. An instant' and the man with incredible quickness and strength was betweent them, facing Taug. "Go back whence you came 1 I, Tarzan, command I'' He stretched forth his arm with an imperious gesture. But it was the voice that would have arrested and held attention. It was a human voice--but th&£~ were no human words. . For of all the beasts he knew th..: language, kn·e w their names and how to call them, knew their trials and all their dangers; helped then:, played and lived and suffered.
