? ? ? ? He turned toward La. "We are going now," he said.
? ? ? ? The woman rushed forward and seized the ape-man's hands in hers.
? ? ? ? "Do not leave me!" she cried. "Stay, and you shall be High Priest. La loves you. All Opar shall be yours. Slaves shall wait upon you. Stay, Tarzan of the Apes, and let love reward you."

? ? ? ? Panting--her face convulsed with rage, La sprang to her feet.
? ? ? ? "Stay, you shall!" she screamed. "La will have you--if she cannot have you alive, she will have you dead," and raising her face to the sun she gave voice to the same hideous shriek that Werper had heard once before and Tarzan many times.
