He was about to chance an immediate descent when there occurred to him a thought that brought a grin to his savage lips a thought that was born of the name the Waz-don had given him Tarzan-jad-guru Tarzan the Terrible and a recollection of the days when he had delighted in baiting the blacks of the distant jungle of his birth. He turned back into the cave where lay the dead body of In-tan.
"I speak the truth, master," replied the priest, "there are warriors in the corridor approaching this very chamber, and they come from the direction of the secret passage which leads hither from the city." "It may be even as he says," exclaimed Pan-sat. "It was from that direction that Tarzan-jad-guru was coming when I discovered and trapped him.
Ta-den had not arrived and the forces of the old chieftain were revealing in their lessened efforts their increasing demoralization, and then it was that the priests carried Tarzan-jad-guru to the roof of the palace and exhibited him in the sight of the warriors of both factions. "Here is the false Dor-ul-Otho," screamed Lu-don.
Instead they spoke of him as Tarzan-jad-guru and they told of meeting him mounted upon a mighty gryf beside the beautiful stranger woman whom Ko-tan would have made queen of Pal-ul-don.
There came to the temple, accompanied by all the priests and by the king and many of his warriors, one whom all did great reverence, and when he came to the barred gateway leading to the chamber in which we wretched ones awaited our fate, I saw to my surprise that it was none other than that terrible man who had so recently been a prisoner in the village of Kor-ul-lul he whom you call Tarzan-jad-guru but whom they addressed as Dor-ul-Otho.
Among the enemy was this strange creature whom they called Tarzan-jad-guru; and terrible indeed was he for he fought with the strength of many men so that it required twenty of us to subdue him. But he did not fight as a god fights, and when a club struck him upon the head he sank unconscious as might an ordinary mortal.
The latter shook his head vehemently and then first placing a hand above his heart he raised his palm in the symbol of peace. "He is a friend of Tarzan-jad-guru," exclaimed Ta-den. "Either a friend or a great liar," replied Om-at. "Tarzan," continued the stranger, "you know him? He lives? O God, if I could only speak your language."
Om-at would never forgive me." "Tell Om-at that I commanded you to go," replied Tarzan. "It is a command?" she asked. "It is! Good-bye, Pan-at-lee. Hasten back to Om-at you are a fitting mate for the chief of Kor-ul-ja." He moved off slowly through the trees. "Good-bye, Tarzan-jad-guru!" she called after him. "Fortunate are my Om-at and his Pan-at-lee in owning such a friend."
Speak woman and speak only the truth." Pan-at-lee drew herself up very erect, her little chin held high, for was not she too among her own people already as good as a princess? "Pan-at-lee, the Kor-ul-ja does not lie," she said, "to protect herself." "Then tell me what you know of this Tarzan-jad-guru," insisted O-lo-a.
"Jad-guru, indeed," repeated one of the Kor-ul-lul rising from where Tarzan had dropped him. "Tarzan-jad-guru! He was worse than that." In the Kor-ul-gryf As Tarzan fell among his enemies a man halted many miles away upon the outer verge of the morass that encircles Pal-ul-don.
