High
up
among
the
branches
of
a
mighty
tree
she
hugged
the
shrieking
infant
to
her
bosom
,
and
soon
the
instinct
that
was
as
dominant
in
this
fierce
female
as
it
had
been
in
the
breast
of
his
tender
and
beautiful
mother
--
the
instinct
of
mother
love
--
reached
out
to
the
tiny
man-child
's
half-formed
understanding
,
and
he
became
quiet
.
292
Then
hunger
closed
the
gap
between
them
,
and
the
son
of
an
English
lord
and
an
English
lady
nursed
at
the
breast
of
Kala
,
the
great
ape
.
293
In
the
meantime
the
beasts
within
the
cabin
were
warily
examining
the
contents
of
this
strange
lair
.

Once
satisfied
that
Clayton
was
dead
,
Kerchak
turned
his
attention
to
the
thing
which
lay
upon
the
bed
,
covered
by
a
piece
of
sailcloth
.
295
Gingerly
he
lifted
one
corner
of
the
shroud
,
but
when
he
saw
the
body
of
the
woman
beneath
he
tore
the
cloth
roughly
from
her
form
and
seized
the
still
,
white
throat
in
his
huge
,
hairy
hands
.
296
A
moment
he
let
his
fingers
sink
deep
into
the
cold
flesh
,
and
then
,
realizing
that
she
was
already
dead
,
he
turned
from
her
,
to
examine
the
contents
of
the
room
;
nor
did
he
again
molest
the
body
of
either
Lady
Alice
or
Sir
John
.
297
The
rifle
hanging
upon
the
wall
caught
his
first
attention
;
it
was
for
this
strange
,
death-dealing
thunder-stick
that
he
had
yearned
for
months
;
but
now
that
it
was
within
his
grasp
he
scarcely
had
the
temerity
to
seize
it
.

Cautiously
he
approached
the
thing
,
ready
to
flee
precipitately
should
it
speak
in
its
deep
roaring
tones
,
as
he
had
heard
it
speak
before
,
the
last
words
to
those
of
his
kind
who
,
through
ignorance
or
rashness
,
had
attacked
the
wonderful
white
ape
that
had
borne
it
.
299
Deep
in
the
beast
's
intelligence
was
something
which
assured
him
that
the
thunder-stick
was
only
dangerous
when
in
the
hands
of
one
who
could
manipulate
it
,
but
yet
it
was
several
minutes
ere
he
could
bring
himself
to
touch
it
.
300
Instead
,
he
walked
back
and
forth
along
the
floor
before
it
,
turning
his
head
so
that
never
once
did
his
eyes
leave
the
object
of
his
desire
.
