see what are the jewels of Oparyou will see what the Belgian gave his 

life for;〃 and the black laughed aloud。 

     〃Why do you laugh?〃 asked Tarzan。 

     〃Because;〃 replied Mugambi; 〃I filled the Belgian's pouch with river 

gravel before I escaped the camp of the Abyssinians whose prisoners we 

were。     I left the Belgian only worthless stones; while I brought away with 

me the jewels he had stolen from you。               That they were afterward stolen

from me while I slept in the jungle is my shame and my disgrace; but at 

least the Belgian lost themopen his pouch and you will see。〃 

     Tarzan   untied   the   thong   which   held   the   mouth   of   the   leathern   bag 

closed;   and   permitted   the   contents   to   trickle   slowly   forth   into   his   open 

palm。     Mugambi's   eyes   went   wide   at   the   sight;   and   the   others   uttered 

exclamations        of   surprise     and    incredulity;    for    from    the    rusty   and 

weatherworn pouch ran a stream of brilliant; scintillating gems。 

     〃The jewels of Opar!〃 cried Tarzan。               〃But how did Werper come by 

them again?〃 

     None   could   answer;   for   both   Chulk   and   Werper   were   dead;   and   no 

other knew。 

     〃Poor   devil!〃   said   the   ape…man;   as   he   swung   back   into   his   saddle。 

〃Even in death he has made restitution let his sins lie with his bones。〃
