Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar

Lieutenant Albert Werper had only the prestige of the name he had dishonoredto thank for his narrow escape from being cashiered. At first he had been humblythankful, too, that they had sent him to this Godforsaken Congo post instead ofcourt-martialing him, as he had so justly deserved; but now six months of themonotony, the frightful isolation and the loneliness had wrought a change. Theyoung man brooded continually over his fate. His days were filled with morbid selfpity, which eventually engendered in his weak and vacillating mind a hatred forthose who had sent him here-for the very men he had at first inwardly thanked forsaving him from the ignominy of degradation. He regretted the gay life of Brussels as he never had regretted the sins whichhad snatched him from that gayest of capitals, and as the days passed he came tocenter his resentment upon the representative in Congo land of the authoritywhich had exiled him-his captain and immediate superior. This officer was a cold, taciturn man, inspiring little love in those directlybeneath him, yet respected and feared by the black soldiers of his little command.
