There was one thing that troubled him the agility with which the she had clambered from her pony's back into the safety of the tree ABOVE her. That was more like mangani more like his lost Meriem. He sighed. His lost Meriem! His little, dead Meriem! He wondered if this she stranger resembled his Meriem in other ways. A great longing to see her overwhelmed him.
He had noted that subtle change in Meriem. When last he had seen her she had been his little, half-naked Mangani wild, savage, and uncouth. She had not seemed uncouth to him then; but now, in the change that had come over her, he knew that such she had been; yet no more uncouth than he, and he was still uncouth. In her had taken place the change.
Pacco, the zebra, and Wappi, the antelope, have those about the herd who keep watch while the others feed, while we, the great Mangani, let Numa, and Sabor, and Sheeta come when they will and carry us off to feed their balus. "Gr-r-rmph," said Numgo. "What are we to do?" asked Taug.
"I told him," he replied, "that I am Tarzan of the Apes, mighty hunter, killer of beasts, lord of the jungle, and that you are my friends. I have never been sure that all of the other beasts understand the language of the Mangani. I know that Manu, the monkey, speaks nearly the same tongue and I am sure that Tantor, the elephant, understands all that I say to him.
God accomplishes strange things for he is 'all-powerful. I cannot see Him; but I know that it must be God who does these things. No Mangani, no Gomangani, no Tarmangani could do them." And the flowers who made them grow? Ah, now it was all explained the flowers, the trees, the moon, the sun, himself, every living creature in the jungle they were all made by God out of nothing. And what was God?
Above them raced a bevy of screaming, chattering monkeys, hurling taunts and insults at the Mangani, and encouragement and advice to the girl. From tree to tree swung Meriem working ever upward toward the smaller branches which would not bear the weight of her pursuers. Faster and faster came the bull apes after her.
Numa must be punished and driven away. He must be taught that even though he killed a Mangani, he would not be permitted to feed upon his kill. The man-mind looked into the future, while the apes perceived only the immediate present. They would be content to escape today the menace of Numa, while Tarzan saw the necessity, and the means as well, of safeguarding the days to come.
Anyway, Tarzan was not a real Mangani, so why should they risk their lives in an effort to protect him? And now Sheeta was almost upon the lithe, naked body, and the body was not there. Quick as was the great cat, the ape-boy was quicker.
Meriem's conversation was interrupted by the sudden plunge of an excited little monkey that landed upon her shoulders in a flying leap from a neighboring tree. "Climb!" he cried. "Climb! The Mangani are coming." Meriem glanced lazily over her shoulder at the excited disturber of her peace. "Climb, yourself, little Manu," she said. "The only Mangani in our jungle are Korak and Akut.
