Chapter XXIV
"It shall be as you wish, Ja-don," replied the ape-man; "but first you must have meat fetched for my GRYF." "There are many carcasses in the camp above," replied Ja-don, "for my men have little else to do than hunt." "Good," exclaimed Tarzan. "Have them brought at once." And when the meat was brought and laid at a distance the ape-man slipped from the back of his fierce charger and fed him with his own hand.
