Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"


? ? ? ? Tarzan let the first two pass beneath him, but as the third came swiftly on, the quiet noose dropped about the black throat. A quick jerk drew it taut.


? ? ? ? There was an agonized scream from the victim, and his fellows turned to see his struggling body rise as by magic slowly into the dense foliage of the trees above.


? ? ? ? With frightened shrieks they wheeled once more and plunged on in their efforts to escape.


? ? ? ? Tarzan dispatched his prisoner quickly and silently; removed the weapons and ornaments, and--oh, the greatest joy of all--a handsome deerskin breechcloth, which he quickly transferred to his own person.


? ? ? ? Now indeed was he dressed as a man should be. None there was who could now doubt his high origin. How he should have liked to have returned to the tribe to parade before their envious gaze this wondrous finery.


? ? ? ? Taking the body across his shoulder, he moved more slowly through the trees toward the little palisaded village, for he again needed arrows.
