Burroughs, Edgar Rice

"Tarzan Of The Apes"

Never, she thought had such a man strode the earth since God created the first in his own image.


? ? ? ? With a bound Tarzan sprang into the trees and disappeared. Jane wondered where he had gone. Had he left her there to her fate in the lonely jungle?


? ? ? ? She glanced nervously about. Every vine and bush seemed but the lurking-place of some huge and horrible beast waiting to bury gleaming fangs into her soft flesh. Every sound she magnified into the stealthy creeping of a sinuous and malignant body.


? ? ? ? How different now that he had left her!


? ? ? ? For a few minutes that seemed hours to the frightened girl, she sat with tense nerves waiting for the spring of the crouching thing that was to end her misery of apprehension.


? ? ? ? She almost prayed for the cruel teeth that would give her unconsciousness and surcease from the agony of fear.


? ? ? ? She heard a sudden, slight sound behind her. With a cry she sprang to her feet and turned to face her end.
