It was morning before Tarzan could bring himself to a realization1 of the possibility of failure of his quest, and even then he would only admit that success was but delayed. He would eat and sleep, and then set forth2 again. The jungle was wide; but wide too were the experience and cunning of Tarzan. Taglat might travel far; but Tarzan would find him in the end, though he had to search every tree in the mighty3 forest.
Soliloquizing thus, the ape-man followed the spoor of Bara, the deer, the unfortunate upon which he had decided4 to satisfy his hunger. For half an hour the trail led the ape-man toward the east along a well-marked game path, when suddenly, to the stalker's astonishment5, the quarry6 broke into sight, racing7 madly back along the narrow way straight toward the hunter.
Tarzan, who had been following along the trail, leaped so quickly to the concealing8 verdure at the side that the deer was still unaware9 of the presence of an enemy in this direction, and while the animal was still some distance away, the ape-man swung into the lower branches of the tree which overhung the trail. There he crouched10, a savage11 beast of prey12, awaiting the coming of its victim.
What had frightened the deer into so
