Here was Tarzan! With his superhuman strength he wrenched one of the chains loose, and started to wrench the other. It did not snap so easily. From the pinnacle of elation John had been suddenly cast to the depth of murderous anger as one of the priests, recovering, staggered to warn him. In a towering rage he seized his long hunting knife, passed another to the priest, and on stealthy, cat-like feet they entered another, secret passage back of the ceremonial chamber followed by the other priest, now also armed with a knife. "Hurry, Tarzan," urged Bobby. "They will be here!" Tarzan tore again at the refrectory leg iron. From a secret panel in the rock wall back of him emerged three shadowy silent figures. Three long, murderous knives were raised in the darkness ready to strike without even a flash of warning. Chapter IX BLACK JOHN'S REVENGE Suddenly Tarzan sensed the peril behind him. He swung around as the last chain snapped and released Mary, just in time to catch in his grip of steel the arm that was descending with the dagger, in the dark. Single handed Tarzan was more tha na match for his attackers and for the others, also, that Black John had hastily mustered in the emergency. From a distance the venerable old Patriarch of the Lost Tribe was watching with troubled mien as he saw Tarzan vanquish one after another of the strongest young men of the tribe. His fear changed to a frown as he caught sight of Black John himself slinking off into the1 jungle.

And had not Tarzan proved himself the strongest of them all? Hven now | he was giving the terrible jungle cry. A few moments and even the beasts would be there, doing his bidding. Quickly the Patriarch approached Mary. He bowed low. "Oh, White Princess! Beg Tarzan the Mighty to rule over us?he who is king of ihe Jungle,?lest we perish!"

He began to relent, then to be interested, finally to consider as the other members of the tribe gathered about. With aboriginal eagerness they were ready to yield fealty to the new overlord.

It was an event of major importance to have a new chief and it called for a weird and elaborate ceremony of installation. Preparations were at once begun for it and the natives threw themselves into it with a will for it was indeed a great thing to have Tarzan fighting for them, not against them. Thus it was that when darkness settled down on the village that night the Patriarch and the entire tribe were assembled about the central fire with flares, the priests in weird costumes and the dancers outdoing themselves to make honor to Tarzan. It was more than even Bobby could stand after the wild events of the day.

It had been a great night for Mary, too. Every honor that was showered on Tarzan was like the gift of a jewel to her. She was tired but she was not going to miss a thing.

Suddenly a hand, a strangely familiar hand, stole through a hole in tho wail nf the hut. then another was clapped over Bobby's mouth as he was jerked through the opening of the thatch, and an instant later the devilish Black John slunk back into the shadows of the jungle making his way as fast as he could with his burden. Across on the other side of the jungle fastness at last Black John stumbled into his secret camp which he had always kept ready against seme rebellious outbreak in the tribe. There he had built himself a lean-to and there now he flung the tired Bobby whom he had carried off and then tired out by his forced haste. Bobby was too! sleepy to do otherwise than heed Black John's threat to lie down, for it would have been the easiest thing in the world to have left the boy outside the circle of the firelight a pray to the strange night-prowlers of the jungle.

That meant that he might use the very proofs of Tarzan's heritage for his own gain. He would be Lord Greystoke, heir to the title and the estates! He fell asleep dreaming of it.
