Burroughs, Edgar Rice

? ? ? ? "Jack!" cried the white giant, kneeling at the ape-man's side.


? ? ? ? "Father!" came chokingly from The Killer's lips. "Thank God that it was you. No one else in all the jungle could have stopped Tantor."

? ? ? ? "I thought," he said, sternly, "that I told you to return to the farm."


? ? ? ? Korak was looking at them wonderingly. In his heart was a great yearning to take the girl in his arms; but in time he remembered the other--the dapper young English gentleman-- and that he was but a savage, uncouth ape-man.


? ? ? ? Meriem looked up pleadingly into Bwana's eyes.
