 And out in the jungle, far away, Korak, covered with wounds, stiff with clotted1 blood, burning with rage and sorrow, swung back upon the trail of the great baboons3. He had not found them where he had last seen them, nor in any of their usual haunts; but he sought them along the well-marked spoor they had left behind them, and at last he overtook them. When first he came upon them they were moving slowly but steadily4 southward in one of those periodic migrations5 the reasons for which the baboon2 himself is best able to explain. At sight of the white warrior6 who came upon them from down wind the herd7 halted in response to the warning cry of the sentinel that had discovered him. There was much growling8 and muttering; much stiff-legged circling on the part of the bulls. The mothers, in nervous, high pitched tones, called their young to their sides, and with them moved to safety behind their lords and masters.
 
Korak called aloud to the king, who, at the familiar voice, advanced slowly, warily9, and still stiff-legged. He must have the confirmatory evidence of his nose before venturing to rely too implicitly10 upon the testimony11 of his ears and eyes. Korak stood perfectly12 still. To have advanced then might have precipitated13 an immediate14 attack, or, as easily, a panic of flight. Wild beasts are creatures of nerves. It is a relatively15 simple thing to throw them into a species of hysteria which may induce either a mania16 for murder, or symptoms of apparent abject17 cowardice—it is a question, however, if a wild animal ever is actually a coward.
 
The king baboon approached Korak. He walked around him in an ever decreasing circle—growling, grunting18, sniffing19. Korak spoke20 to him.
 
"I am Korak," he said. "I opened the cage that held you. I saved you from the Tarmangani. I am Korak, The Killer21. I am your friend."
 
"Huh," grunted22 the king. "Yes, you are Korak. My ears told me that you were Korak. My eyes told me that you were Korak. Now my nose tells me that you are Korak. My nose is never wrong. I am your friend. Come, we shall hunt together."
 
"Korak cannot hunt now," replied the ape-man. "The Gomangani have stolen Meriem. They have tied her in their village. They will not let her go. Korak, alone, was unable to set her free. Korak set you free. Now will you bring your people and set Korak's Meriem free?"
 
"The Gomangani have many sharp sticks which they throw. They pierce the bodies of my people. They kill us. The gomangani are bad people. They will kill us all if we enter their village."
 
"The Tarmangani have sticks that make a loud noise and kill at a great distance," replied Korak. "They had these when Korak set you free from their trap. If Korak had run away from them you would now be a prisoner among the Tarmangani."
 
The baboon scratched his head. In a rough circle about him and the ape-man squatted23 the bulls of his herd. They blinked their eyes, shouldered one another about for more advantageous24 positions, scratched in the rotting vegetation upon the chance of unearthing25 a toothsome worm, or sat listlessly eyeing their king and the strange Mangani, who called himself thus but who more closely resembled the hated Tarmangani. The king looked at some of the older of his subjects, as though inviting26 suggestion.
 
"We are too few," grunted one.
 
"There are the baboons of the hill country," suggested another. "They are as many as the leaves of the forest. They, too, hate the Gomangani. They love to fight. They are very savage27. Let us ask them to accompany us. Then can we kill all the Gomangani in the jungle." He rose and growled28 horribly, bristling29 his stiff hair.
 
"That is the way to talk," cried The Killer, "but we do not need the baboons of the hill country. We are enough. It will take a long time to fetch them. Meriem may be dead and eaten before we could free her. Let us set out at once for the village of the Gomangani. If we travel very fast it will not take long to reach it. Then, all at the same time, we can charge into the village, growling and barking. The Gomangani will be very frightened and will run away. While they are gone we can seize Meriem and carry her off. We do not have to kill or be killed—all that Korak wishes is his Meriem."
 
"We are too few," croaked30 the old ape again.
 
"Yes, we are too few," echoed others.
 
Korak could not persuade them. They would help him, gladly; but they must do it in their own way and that meant enlisting31 the services of their kinsmen32 and allies of the hill country. So Korak was forced to give in. All he could do for the present was to urge them to haste, and at his suggestion the king baboon with a dozen of his mightiest33 bulls agreed to go to the hill country with Korak, leaving the balance of the herd behind.
 
Once enlisted34 in the adventure the baboons became quite enthusiastic about it. The delegation35 set off immediately. They traveled swiftly; but the ape-man found no difficulty in keeping up with them. They made a tremendous racket as they passed through the trees in an endeavor to suggest to enemies in their front that a great herd was approaching, for when the baboons travel in large numbers there is no jungle creature who cares to molest36 them. When the nature of the country required much travel upon the level, and the distance between trees was great, they moved silently, knowing that the lion and the leopard37 would not be fooled by noise when they could see plainly for themselves that only a handful of baboons were on the trail.
 
For two days the party raced through the savage country, passing out of the dense38 jungle into an open plain, and across this to timbered mountain slopes. Here Korak never before had been. It was a new country to him and the change from the monotony of the circumscribed39 view in the jungle was pleasing. But he had little desire to enjoy the beauties of nature at this time. Meriem, his Meriem was in danger. Until she was freed and returned to him he had little thought for aught else.
 
Once in the forest that clothed the mountain slopes the baboons advanced more slowly. Constantly they gave tongue to a plaintive40 note of calling. Then would follow silence while they listened. At last, faintly from the distance straight ahead came an answer.
 
The baboons continued to travel in the direction of the voices that floated through the forest to them in the intervals41 of their own silence. Thus, calling and listening, they came closer to their kinsmen, who, it was evident to Korak, were coming to meet them in great numbers; but when, at last, the baboons of the hill country came in view the ape-man was staggered at the reality that broke upon his vision.
 
What appeared a solid wall of huge baboons rose from the ground through the branches of the trees to the loftiest terrace to which they dared entrust42 their weight. Slowly they were approaching, voicing their weird43, plaintive call, and behind them, as far as Korak's eyes could pierce the verdure, rose solid walls of their fellows treading close upon their heels. There were thousands of them. The ape-man could not but think of the fate of his little party should some untoward45 incident arouse even momentarily the rage of fear of a single one of all these thousands.
 
But nothing such befell. The two kings approached one another, as was their custom, with much sniffing and bristling. They satisfied themselves of each other's identity. Then each scratched the other's back. After a moment they spoke together. Korak's friend explained the nature of their visit, and for the first time Korak showed himself. He had been hiding behind a bush. The excitement among the hill baboons was intense at sight of him. For a moment Korak feared that he should be torn to pieces; but his fear was for Meriem. Should he die there would be none to succor46 her.
 
The two kings, however, managed to quiet the multitude, and Korak was permitted to approach. Slowly the hill baboons came closer to him. They sniffed47 at him from every angle. When he spoke to them in their own tongue they were filled with wonder and delight. They talked to him and listened while he spoke. He told them of Meriem, and of their life in the jungle where they were the friends of all the ape folk from little Manu to Mangani, the great ape.
 
"The Gomangani, who are keeping Meriem from me, are no friends of yours," he said. "They kill you. The baboons of the low country are too few to go against them. They tell me that you are very many and very brave—that your numbers are as the numbers of the grasses upon the plains or the leaves within the forest, and that even Tantor, the elephant, fears you, so brave you are. They told me that you would be happy to accompany us to the village of the Gomangani and punish these bad people while I, Korak, The Killer, carry away my Meriem."
 
The king ape puffed48 out his chest and strutted49 about very stiff-legged indeed. So also did many of the other great bulls of his nation. They were pleased and flattered by the words of the strange Tarmangani, who called himself Mangani and spoke the language of the hairy progenitors50 of man.
 
"Yes," said one, "we of the hill country are mighty51 fighters. Tantor fears us. Numa fears us. Sheeta fears us. The Gomangani of the hill country are glad to pass us by in peace. I, for one, will come with you to the village of the Gomangani of the low places. I am the king's first he-child. Alone can I kill all the Gomangani of the low country," and he swelled52 his chest and strutted proudly back and forth53, until the itching54 back of a comrade commanded his industrious55 attention.
 
"I am Goob," cried another. "My fighting fangs56 are long. They are sharp. They are strong. Into the soft flesh of many a Gomangani have they been buried. Alone I slew57 the sister of Sheeta. Goob will go to the low country with you and kill so many of the Gomangani that there will be none left to count the dead," and then he, too, strutted and pranced58 before the admiring eyes of the shes and the young.
 
Korak looked at the king, questioningly.
 
"Your bulls are very brave," he said; "but braver than any is the king."
 
Thus addressed, the shaggy bull, still in his prime—else he had been no longer king—growled ferociously59. The forest echoed to his lusty challenges. The little baboons clutched fearfully at their mothers' hairy necks. The bulls, electrified61, leaped high in air and took up the roaring challenge of their king. The din44 was terrific.
 
Korak came close to the king and shouted in his ear, "Come." Then he started off through the forest toward the plain that they must cross on their long journey back to the village of Kovudoo, the Gomangani. The king, still roaring and shrieking62, wheeled and followed him. In their wake came the handful of low country baboons and the thousands of the hill clan—savage, wiry, dog-like creatures, athirst for blood.
 
And so they came, upon the second day, to the village of Kovudoo. It was mid-afternoon. The village was sunk in the quiet of the great equatorial sun-heat. The mighty herd traveled quietly now. Beneath the thousands of padded feet the forest gave forth no greater sound than might have been produced by the increased soughing of a stronger breeze through the leafy branches of the trees.
 
Korak and the two kings were in the lead. Close beside the village they halted until the stragglers had closed up. Now utter silence reigned63. Korak, creeping stealthily, entered the tree that overhung the palisade. He glanced behind him. The pack were close upon his heels. The time had come. He had warned them continuously during the long march that no harm must befall the white she who lay a prisoner within the village. All others were their legitimate64 prey65. Then, raising his face toward the sky, he gave voice to a single cry. It was the signal.
 
In response three thousand hairy bulls leaped screaming and barking into the village of the terrified blacks. Warriors66 poured from every hut. Mothers gathered their babies in their arms and fled toward the gates as they saw the horrid67 horde68 pouring into the village street. Kovudoo marshaled his fighting men about him and, leaping and yelling to arouse their courage, offered a bristling, spear tipped front to the charging horde.
 
Korak, as he had led the march, led the charge. The blacks were struck with horror and dismay at the sight of this white-skinned youth at the head of a pack of hideous69 baboons. For an instant they held their ground, hurling70 their spears once at the advancing multitude; but before they could fit arrows to their bows they wavered, gave, and turned in terrified rout71. Into their ranks, upon their backs, sinking strong fangs into the muscles of their necks sprang the baboons and first among them, most ferocious60, most blood-thirsty, most terrible was Korak, The Killer.
 
At the village gates, through which the blacks poured in panic, Korak left them to the tender mercies of his allies and turned himself eagerly toward the hut in which Meriem had been a prisoner. It was empty. One after another the filthy72 interiors revealed the same disheartening fact—Meriem was in none of them. That she had not been taken by the blacks in their flight from the village Korak knew for he had watched carefully for a glimpse of her among the fugitives73.
 
To the mind of the ape-man, knowing as he did the proclivities74 of the savages75, there was but a single explanation—Meriem had been killed and eaten. With the conviction that Meriem was dead there surged through Korak's brain a wave of blood red rage against those he believed to be her murderer. In the distance he could hear the snarling76 of the baboons mixed with the screams of their victims, and towards this he made his way. When he came upon them the baboons had commenced to tire of the sport of battle, and the blacks in a little knot were making a new stand, using their knob sticks effectively upon the few bulls who still persisted in attacking them.
 
Among these broke Korak from the branches of a tree above them—swift, relentless77, terrible, he hurled78 himself upon the savage warriors of Kovudoo. Blind fury possessed79 him. Too, it protected him by its very ferocity. Like a wounded lioness he was here, there, everywhere, striking terrific blows with hard fists and with the precision and timeliness of the trained fighter. Again and again he buried his teeth in the flesh of a foeman. He was upon one and gone again to another before an effective blow could be dealt him. Yet, though great was the weight of his execution in determining the result of the combat, it was outweighed80 by the terror which he inspired in the simple, superstitious81 minds of his foeman. To them this white warrior, who consorted82 with the great apes and the fierce baboons, who growled and snarled83 and snapped like a beast, was not human. He was a demon84 of the forest—a fearsome god of evil whom they had offended, and who had come out of his lair85 deep in the jungle to punish them. And because of this belief there were many who offered but little defense86, feeling as they did the futility87 of pitting their puny88 mortal strength against that of a deity89.
 
Those who could fled, until at last there were no more to pay the penalty for a deed, which, while not beyond them, they were, nevertheless, not guilty of. Panting and bloody90, Korak paused for want of further victims. The baboons gathered about him, sated themselves with blood and battle. They lolled upon the ground, fagged.
 
In the distance Kovudoo was gathering91 his scattered92 tribesmen, and taking account of injuries and losses. His people were panic stricken. Nothing could prevail upon them to remain longer in this country. They would not even return to the village for their belongings93. Instead they insisted upon continuing their flight until they had put many miles between themselves and the stamping ground of the demon who had so bitterly attacked them. And thus it befell that Korak drove from their homes the only people who might have aided him in a search for Meriem, and cut off the only connecting link between him and her from whomsoever might come in search of him from the douar of the kindly94 Bwana who had befriended his little jungle sweetheart.
 
It was a sour and savage Korak who bade farewell to his baboon allies upon the following morning. They wished him to accompany him; but the ape-man had no heart for the society of any. Jungle life had encouraged taciturnity in him. His sorrow had deepened this to a sullen95 moroseness96 that could not brook97 even the savage companionship of the ill-natured baboons.
 
Brooding and despondent98 he took his solitary99 way into the deepest jungle. He moved along the ground when he knew that Numa was abroad and hungry. He took to the same trees that harbored Sheeta, the panther. He courted death in a hundred ways and a hundred forms. His mind was ever occupied with reminiscences of Meriem and the happy years that they had spent together. He realized now to the full what she had meant to him. The sweet face, the tanned, supple100, little body, the bright smile that always had welcomed his return from the hunt haunted him continually.
 
Inaction soon threatened him with madness. He must be on the go. He must fill his days with labor101 and excitement that he might forget—that night might find him so exhausted102 that he should sleep in blessed unconsciousness of his misery103 until a new day had come.
 
Had he guessed that by any possibility Meriem might still live he would at least have had hope. His days could have been devoted104 to searching for her; but he implicitly believed that she was dead.
 
For a long year he led his solitary, roaming life. Occasionally he fell in with Akut and his tribe, hunting with them for a day or two; or he might travel to the hill country where the baboons had come to accept him as a matter of course; but most of all was he with Tantor, the elephant—the great gray battle ship of the jungle—the super-dreadnaught of his savage world.
 
The peaceful quiet of the monster bulls, the watchful105 solicitude106 of the mother cows, the awkward playfulness of the calves107 rested, interested, and amused Korak. The life of the huge beasts took his mind, temporarily from his own grief. He came to love them as he loved not even the great apes, and there was one gigantic tusker in particular of which he was very fond—the lord of the herd—a savage beast that was wont108 to charge a stranger upon the slightest provocation109, or upon no provocation whatsoever110. And to Korak this mountain of destruction was docile111 and affectionate as a lap dog.
 
He came when Korak called. He wound his trunk about the ape-man's body and lifted him to his broad neck in response to a gesture, and there would Korak lie at full length kicking his toes affectionately into the thick hide and brushing the flies from about the tender ears of his colossal112 chum with a leafy branch torn from a nearby tree by Tantor for the purpose.
 
And all the while Meriem was scarce a hundred miles away.
