more nearly resembled tbe royal tiger
of Asia than It did any other beast
though that resemblance was little
doser than is the resemblance of the
royal Bengal to a bouse kitten.
The young man was Nu, tbe son
of Nu.
For a hundred thousand years be
had lain hermetically sealed in his
rocky tomb, aa toads remain In bus
pended animation for similar IM-riods
of time. The earthquake bad unseal-
< d Ids sepulcher, and tbe rough tumble
down tbe mountain side had Induced
respiration.
His heart had responded to the
pumping of hla lungs, and slmul-
tenaously tbe other organs of bls body
had resumed their various functions.
As be stood upon tbe threshold of
the cave of Oo, the man hunter, tbe
look of bewilderment grew upon his
features as his eyes roved over tbe
panorama of tbe unfamiliar world
which lay spread below him. There
was scarce an object to remind him
of tbe world that had been but a brief
Instant before, for Nu could not know
that ages had rolled by since he took
hasty refuge In tbe lair of tbe great
beast he had slain.
He thought that he might be dream­
ing, and so be rublred bis eyes and
looked again; but still be saw the un­
familiar trees and bushes about him
and. farther down tn tbe valley, tbe
odd appearing vegetation of tbe Jungle.
Nu could not fathom the mystery of it.
Slowly be stepped from tbe cave and
began the descent toward the valley,
for he was very thirsty and very hun­
gry. Below him lie saw animals graz­
ing u | m > ii the broad plain, but even at
that distance he realized that they were
such aa no mortal eye had ever before
rested upon
Warily he advanced, every sense
alert against whatever new form of
danger might lurk in this strange new
world. Had he had any conception of
T
Slowly Hs Stopped From the Cave and

a life after death he would doubtless
have felt assured that the earthquake
had killed him and that he was now
wandering through the heavenly vale.
But men of Nu's age had not yet con­
ceived any sort of religion other than
a vague fear of certain natural phe­
nomena. such as storms and earth­
quakes, the movements of the sun and
moon and those familiar happenings
which first awake the questionings of
the primitive.
He saw the sun. but to him ft was a
different sun from the great, swollen
orb thnt had shone through the thick,
humid atmosphere of tbe Neocene.
From Go's Inir only the day before he
had l»ecn able to see in the distance the
shimmering surface of the restless sea.
but now so far as eye could roach then«
stretched an Interminable Jungle of
gently waving tree tops, except for tbe
rolling plain nt his feet, where yester­
day the black Jungle of the ape people
had roared its lofty fronds.
Nu shook his head. It was all quite
beyond him. but there were certain
things which he could comprehend:
and so. after the manner of the self
reliant. he set about to wrest Ida live-
Ilhood from nature under the new con
ditlons which h:id treen Im [rosed upon
him while he slept.
First of all. hla spear must be at­
tended to. It would never do to trust
to that crude patch longer than it
would take him to find and fit a new
baf{. Hla mggt must wait until that
thing Was accomplished
In tbe meantime be might pick up
what fruit was available In tbe forest
toward which he was bending bls steps
In search of a long, straight shoot of
tbe bard wood which alone would meet
his requirements.
In the days that had been Nu's there
hail grown In isolated patches a few
lone clumps of very straight hardwood
trees The smaller of these the men
of the tribe would cut down and spilt
lengthwise with stone wedges until
from a single tree they might have
; produced material for a score or more
spear shafts, but now Nu must seek
the very smallest of saplings, for he
had no time to waste In splitting a lar­
ger tr«-e, even had he had the necessary
, wedges nnd hammers.
Into the forest the youth crept, for.
though lflO.tgsi years hud claimed since
bls birth, be was still to all Intent and
purpose a youth. Upon nil sides he
saw strange and wonderful trees, the
: like of which had never been in the
forests of yesterday.
The growths were not so luxuriant
i or prodigious, but for the most [»art the
I trees offeree) suggestions of alluring
possibilities to the semiarboreal Nu. for
the branches were much heavier and
more solid than those of tbe great tree
ferns of his own epoch and commenced
much nearer tbe ground. Catlike he
I lea|»ed into tbe lower branches of them.
| reveling In tbe ease with wblch be
' could travel from tree to tree.
Gay colored birds of strange appear­
ance screamed and scolded at him. Lit-
■ tie monkeys hurried, chattering, from
his fiatb. Nu laughed. What a quaint,
diminutive world It was indeed! No­
where had he yet seen a tree or crea­
ture that might compare in size to tbe
aiousters among which be had traveled
. tbe preceding day.
The fruits, too. were small and
' strange. He scarcely dared venture
to eat of them lest they be poisonous,
if tbe lesser ape folk would only let
‘ i come close enough to speak with
i...-in he might ascertain from them
which were safe, but for some unac-
rountable reasou they seemed to fear
and mistrust blm. This, above all
other considerations, argued to Nu that
be bad come in some mysterious way
into another world
Presently tbe troglodyte discovered
a slender, straight young sapling. He
came to the ground and tested its
strength by bending it back and forth.
Apparently it met the requirements of
a new shaft
With bls stone hatchet be hewed it
off close to the ground, stripped it of
branches, and climbing to tbe safety
of the trees again, where be need fear
no interruption from the huge mon-
1 stere of tbe world he knew, set te work
: with his atone knife to remove the
i bark and shape tbe end to receive his
spearhead.
First he split it down the center for
four or five inches, and then be cut
notches in tbe surface upon either side
of the split portion. Now be carefully
unwrapped tbe rawhide that binds the
spearhead into bis old baft, and for
wuut of water to moisten it crammed
I the whole unfragrant mass into his
I mouth that It- idight be softened by
! warmth and saliva.
For several minutes he busied hlm-
self in shaping tbe point of the new
j shaft that it might exactly fit tbe In-
i equalities in tbe shank of the spear­
head. Ry the time this was done the
rawhide had been sufficiently mois­
tened to permit him to wind it tightly
aliout the sew shaft into which be had
set tbe spearhead.
As be worked he heard the noises of
the Jungle about him. There were
many familiar voices, but more strange
ones. Not once had the cave bear
spoken: nor Zor, tbe mighty lion of tbe
Neocene; nor Oo. the saber toothed
tiger. He missed the bellowing of the
bull bos nnd tbe hissing nnd whistling
of monster saurian and amphibian.
To Nu It seemed a silent world,
rroiq»ed up against the bole of the
tree Ix-fore him grinned the hideous
bend of the man hunter. the only fa-
miliar object in all the world about
him.
Presently he Itei-ame aware that the
lesser a|>es were creeping warily closer
to have a better look at him. He wait­
ed silently until from the tall of bls
eye lie glimpsed one quite near, and
then In a low voice he spoke in tbe
language that bls allies of yesterday
bad understood: and though ages had
elapsed since that long gone day. the
little monkey above him understood,
for the language of the apes can never
change.
“Why do you fear Nu. the son of
Nu?" asked the man. “When has he
ever harmed tbe ape people?"
“The hairless ones kill us with sharp
sticks that fly through the air," replied
the monkey, “or with little sticks that
make a great noise that kill us from
afar. But you seem not to be of these.
We have never seen one like you until
now. Do you not wish to kill us?"
"Why should I?" replied Nu. “It is
better that we be friends. All that I
wish of you is that you tell me which
of the fruits that grow here t»e safe for
me to eat nnd then direct me to tbe sen
beside which dwell the tribe of Nu, my
father."
The monkeys had gathered in force
by this time, seeing thnt tbe strange
white npe offered no harm to their fel­
low, nnd when they learned his wnnts
they scampered about In all directions
to gather nuts and fruits nnd berries
for him.
It Is true that some of them forgot
what they had intended doing before
tbe task was half completed, nnd end­
ed by pulling one another's tails and
frolicking among tbe higher branches,
or else ate the fruit they bad gone to
gather for their new friend, but a few
there were with ’greater powers of
concentration than their fellows, who
returned with fruit and berries and
caterpillars, all of which Nu devoured
with the avidity of tbe half famished.
Of the thereabouts of tbe tribe ef
tils father uiey could tell Dim nutning.
for they bad never heard of such a
ix-opte, or of tbe great sea beside
wblch be told them thnt his people
dwelled.
His breakfast finished and bis spear
repaired, Nu set out toward the plaln^
to bring down one of the beasts tn-
had seen grazing there, for bls atom
acb culled aloud for tie- h. Fru|t and
bugs might be all right for children
ant! ape people, but a full grown man
must have meat, warm mid red and
dripping.
<’lo.M-st to 1dm ns be emerged from
tbe Jungle browsed a small herd ot
zebra They were directly up wind
and between him
id them were
patches of tall gru
and clumps u'
the surface O»
trees scattered
tbe plain.
Nu wondered at the strung? la-ii
admiring their gaudy markings us
came doser to them Upon the ed <
ot the herd nearest him a plnu.p st.:;
lion stood switching his tail again
the annoying tiles, occasionally raisin,
bis bead from bis feeding to sear«-,
the horizon for signa of danger, sniff
ing the air for the telltale scent of hi »
enemy, It wax he that Nu selected
for bls prey.
Htealtbily the cave man crept
through the tall grass, scarce a blade
moving to tbe sinuous advance of hi?
sleek body. Within fifty feet of the
zebra Nu stopped, for tbe stallion was
giving ivldeuce of restlessness, aa
though sensing Intuitively tbe near ap­
proach of a foe he could neither see
nor hear nor smell.
The man. still prone upon hla belly,
drew bis spear into the throwtag
grasp. With tbe utmost caution be
wormed his legs beneath him, and
then, like lightning, and all with a
single movement, he leaped to bis feet
and cast the stone tipped weapon at
his quarry
With a snort of terror the stallion
reared to plunge away, but tbe spear
had found the point behind his shoul­
der even as be saw tbe figure of tbe
man rise from tbe tail grass. As the
balance of tbe herd galloped madly off.
their leader pitched headlong to the
earth.
Nu ran forward with ready knife,
but tbe animal was dead before be
reached its side. Tbe great spear bad
passed through its heart and was pro­
truding upon tbe opposite side of the
body. The man removed the weapon,
and with bis knife cut several long
strips of meat from the plump
haunches.
Ever and anon be raised bis bead to
scan tbe plain and Jungle for evidences
of danger, sniffing tbe breeze Just as
bad tbe stallion be had killed.
Ills work was but partially com­
pleted when he caught the scent of
man yet a long way off. He knew
that be could not be mistaken, yet
never had be sensed so strange an
odor. There were men coming, be
knew, but of the other odors that ac­
companied them he could make noth­
ing. for khaki and guns and sweaty
saddle blankets and the odor of tanned
leather were to Nu’s nostrils as would
Greek have been to his ears.
It would be best, thought Nu, to re­
treat to the safety of the forest until
he could ascertain the number and
kind of beings that were approaching,
and so, taking but careless advantage
of the handier shelter, the cave man
sauntered toward the forest; for now
be was not stalking game, and never
yet had he shown fear in tbe presence
of an enemy.
If their numbers were too great for
him to
with single handed he
would not show himself, but noue
might ever say that they had seen Nu.
the son of Nn. run away from dan­
ger.
In bis hand still swung tbe bead of
Oo, and as the man leaped to the low
branches of a tree at tbe Jungle's edge
to spy u[>on tbe men he knew to be ad­
vancing from the far side of the plain
be fell to wondering how he was to
find bis wsy hack to Nnt-ul thnt he
might place the trophy at her feet and
claim her as his mate.
Only the previous evening they had
walked together hand in hand along
the beach, and now he had not the re­
motest conception of where that beach
lay.
Straight across the plain should be
tbe direction of it. for from that direc­
tion had be come to find the lair of Oo.
But now all was changed.
There was no single familiar land­
mark to guide him. Not even the ape
people knew of any sea nearby, and he
himself had no conception as to wheth­
er he was in the same world that be
had traversed when last the sun shone
upon him.
