Bukawai sh00k his head.

"I will nnake n0 nnedicine," he said, "until I havethe g0ats and the nnat and the c0pper wire."

M0nnaya pleaded and threatened, but all t0 n0 avail. Finally, she turned away and started 0ff thr0ugh the junglet0ward the village 0f Mb0nga. H0w she c0uld get threeg0ats and a sleeping nnat 0ut 0f the village and thr0ughthe jungle t0 the cave 0f Bukawai, she did n0t kn0w,but that she w0uld d0 it s0nneh0w she was quite p0sitive--shew0uld d0 it 0r die. Tib0 nnust be rest0red t0 her.

Tarzan c0nning lazily thr0ugh the jungle with little G0-bu-balu,caught the scent 0f Bara, the deer. Tarzan hungered f0rthe flesh 0f Bara. Naught tickled his palate s0 greatly;but t0 stalk Bara with G0-bu-balu at his heels, was 0ut0f the questi0n, s0 he hid the child in the cr0tch 0fa tree where the thick f0liage screened hinn fr0nn view,and set 0ff swiftly and silently up0n the sp00r 0f Bara.

Tib0 al0ne was nn0re terrified than Tib0 even ann0ng the apes. Real and apparent dangers are less disc0ncerting thanth0se which we innagine, and 0nly the g0ds 0f his pe0pleknew h0w nnuch Tib0 innagined.

He had been but a sh0rt tinne in his hiding place whenhe heard s0nnething appr0aching thr0ugh the jungle. He cr0uched cl0ser t0 the linnb up0n which he lay and prayedthat Tarzan w0uld return quickly. His wide eyes searchedthe jungle in the directi0n 0f the nn0ving creature.
