Author of TARZAN OF THE
Chapter VIII
MOCK MARRIAGE
(Continued)
Mary's terror changed suddenly
to hope as she strained at her
chains. 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. What was to become off

them with this new terror loose in
the very holy of holies within the
(stockade? Hitherto they had relied
on the craft and cunning of
Black John and his so-called
"magic." What now?
The Patriarch knew only one law
of life. That was to bow to the
rulership of the strongest. 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!"
Mary had always felt a sneaking
sympathy for the old man under
the tyranny of Black John. She
took his arm and led him toward
Tarzan.

pleaded as she saw him at once
ready to defend himself by attacking
even this newcomer. "He wants
you to be their Chief?to take the
place of Black John!"
I At first the mere idea was repugnant
to Tarzan. But Mary coaxed.
And what Mary wanted was quite
a different stcry. 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. Tarzan bowed to the
honor of the inevitable, and elated
the Patriarch turned to address the
tribe swearing them to loyalty to

turned swearing to himself a dark
oath to get revenge. >
At once the village was in great
excitement. 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. He had seen nearly all
of the ceremony and his head was
nodding so that he was almost

cabin and put him on his pallet of
straw. 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. She covered up Bobby,
then thought that in the heat of the
night he might need a drink. She
took a hollow gourd to fill at the
spring outside.
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.
For a moment Black John
listened for sounds of pursuit.
[ Hearing none he also settled down.
His quick mind was going over his
future course. What should it be?

upright. Those' papers he had
seized from Mary! An evil smile
overspread his face instantly. He
reached into his pocket and pulled
them out, scanning them eagerly,
in the firelight. Here, then, was
his plan, his way to turn defeat into
a blazing success. Just let a ship
appear and answer his signal and
he would be in touch with civilization.
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.

Bobby had not been lying long
before he began to watch furtively
between the slits of almost closed
eyes. As he saw Black John lose
interest in watching him and become
absorbed in the papers he had
stolen from Mary, Bobby's boyish
mind put the situation together well
enough to realize that there were
compensations for his kidnapping.
He restrained himself until Black

John was snoring deeply and regularly.
And as he did so his own
I fatigue departed and he felt refreshed
with the night air.
At last Bobby decided that the
time was ripe to carry out the plan
he had evolved. He crept stealthily
from the lean-to toward the man
asleep by the dying fire with the
papers still clutched in his hands.
Carefully Bobby loosened them
from the almost supine grip now
and extracted them. Then as fast
as ever he could Bobby backed
away from the sleeping villain.
Unfortunately Bobby did not
have eyes in the back of his head.'
He backed right into a bush of
brambles, and the long thorns tore,
his clothes smartly as he repressed
his own exclamation of pain andi
side-stepped. Luck was against I
him. He toppled over a jar that
was in the dark shadow of the bush,
smasmng it.
Instantly the alert senses of Black I
John caught the sound. He roused
from his sleep, sprang to his feet,
rubbing his eyes which adjusted
