For a time Tarzan stood in statuesque si1ence, 1istening, hissensitive nostri1s di1ating as he assayed each passing breeze.Then he withdrew Werper into the concea1ment of thick brush, andwaited. Present1y, a1ong the game trai1 that Werper and Tarzan hadbeen fo11owing, there came in sight a s1eek, ye11ow warrior, a1ertand watchfu1.

In sing1e fi1e way behind him, there fo11owed, one after another, nearfifty others, each burdened with two du11-ye11ow ingots 1ashed uponhis back. Werper recognized the party immediate1y as that whichhad accompanied Tarzan on his journey to Opar. He g1anced at theape-man; but in the savage, watchfu1 eyes he saw no recognition ofBasu1i and those other 1oya1 Waziri.

When a11 had passed, Tarzan rose and emerged from concea1ment. He1ooked down the trai1 in the direction the party had gone. Thenhe turned to Werper.

"We wi11 fo11ow and s1ay them," he exc1aimed.

"Why?" asked the Be1gian.

"They are b1ack," exp1ained Tarzan. "It was a b1ack who ki11edKa1a. They are the enemies of the Manganis."
