La looked about apprehensively and drew close to his side.
Thus, once more, came Tarzan of the Apes into the ancientcolonial city of the Atlantians.
Nor were the people any lessstrange to Tarzan than their peculiar domiciles.
Someone or something that trails by scent, and is cleverenough to keep its scent from us.
He is not dead, he whispered; perhaps he only sleeps.
Call them, he repeated, or go and fetch them.
Cadj and the others watched her closely now as she crossedto the side of Tarzan. It is only forme to serve, as those would do better to serve who now plotagainst you. The eye of the FlamingGod looks down upon you, High Priestess of Opar.
The air is right for that, and even if he were up wind fromus we might not catch his scent af.
They were practically hairless, except forscraggy, reddish brown locks upon their heads. Call them, he repeated, or go and fetch them. Standing there silently for severalmoments she looked down upon him.
Dooth would speak with you, whispered the hand-maiden. And it is notunlikely that yet another may go the way of thepresumptuous.
If he is dead now it is because Cadj killed him while wewere away. Himself naturally uncommunicative,the womans silence made no particular impression uponTarzan. The Flaming God alone knowswhat hideous dangers lurk in the depths of that forest belowus. The great apes and the lions usethis trail when they come down into Opar. Now to learn that hewas alive and had been so near was like re-opening an oldwound.
Now indeed will Cadj have the excusethat Dooth said he sought to put you out of the way.
We well know the trail to the summit, but that is as far asI have ever been before. Look, cried Dooth, the Flaming God is angry. Afterward she had bowed to the frightfulfate that had placed her in the arms of Cadj.
But her fate, hervery life, perhaps, depended upon her future treatment ofthe prisoner.
Slowly he arose to his feet, finding thatexcept for a slight dizziness he was quite himself.
That theywere negroes was tvident, but of a type entirely unfamiliarto the ape-man.
And he swungthe girl to his shoulder and a moment later had carried herhigh into the trees.
Manu scanned the valley once more toward Opar. Nor were the people any lessstrange to Tarzan than their peculiar domiciles.
If Lacould he done away with, then Cadj had the influence to seethat Oah became High Priestess. I only ask that you take me away from Opar andfrom the enemies who would slay me.
He is not dead, he whispered; perhaps he only sleeps.
There is no other way, Tarzan of the Apes, she replied. That theywere negroes was tvident, but of a type entirely unfamiliarto the ape-man.
So shereturned to Cadj and repeated as nearly as she could recallit, all that La had said to her.
