VV I way reclaim a whole world. To
ecther wo can lead tlio races of men out of
the darkness of Ignorance Into tho light of
advancement nnd civilization, At ono step
uemay Carry them from tho age of stone
to the twentieth century. It's marveloUB
absolutely marvelous Just to think about
It."
"David," said tho old man, "I believe
that God scut us hero for Just that pur
pose It shall bo my llfo work to teach
them HH word-to lead them Into the
llrht of Ills mercy while wo nro training
their hearts nnd hands In the ways of cul

"You are right. Perry." I said; "and
while you nro teaching them to pray I'll
be teaching them to fight, nnd, between
us, we'll mako a race of men that will bo
in honor to us both."
Clink had entered the npartment somo
time before wo concluded our conversa-
i tlon, and now lie wnnted to know what
we were so cvcltcd nbout. Perry thought
we had best not ten mm coo mucn, ana
so I only explained tluit I had a plan
for escape.
When I had outlined It to him, ho
teemed nbout as horror-stricken ns Perry
httd been, but for a different reason. The
Hairy One only considered tho horrlblo
fate that would bo ours wero wo discov
ered; but at last I prevailed upon him to
accept my plan; and when I had nssurcd
him that I would take all tho responsibil
ity wero wo captured, ho accorded a
reluctant assent.
Within Pellucldar ono time Is as good
' as another. There were no nights to
mask pur attempted csenpe. All must
bo done In broad daylight all but tho
work I had to do In tho apartment be
neath tho building.
So we determined -to put our plan to
an Immediate tost lest tho Mahars who
made It possible should awako beforo
I reached them; but wo wero doomed
to disappointment, for no sooner had wo
reached tho main lloor of the building
on our way to tho pits beneath than wo
encountered hurrying bands of slaves be
ing hastened under strong Sagoth guard
out of tho edifice to tho avenue beyond.
Other Sagoths were darting hither and
thither In search of other slaves, and
the moment that we appeared wo wero
pounced upon and hustled into tho lino of
marching humans.
What the purpnso or nature of tho
general exodus we, did not know, but
presently through tho line of captives
ran the rumor that two escaped slaves
had been recaptured a man and a woman
and that wo were marching to witness

FARMER SMITH'S
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT A FOX?
Dear Children One of our members, Jack Burgess, of Cedar avenue,
wishes me to talk about a fox, and as I have not even a speaking: acquaint
ance with a live fox, I must needs go to my books about animals and learn
of this wonderful and crafty creature.
You have all heard of tho word "foxy," and it reminds us of the other
animals which serve us, by means of comparison. For instance, wo say
that some ono is as stubborn as a mule, or wise as an owl, or slippery as
n eel.
The fox is hunted by a pack of dogs followed by hunters, and many
instances are recorded where the fox has led his pursuers a lively chase
nnd then suddenly disappeared. It is related that a hunting party invariably
lost a fox at a certain point and wero never able to locate him after he
disappeared, even by the scent of the dogs. Finally, ono of tho party hid
himself and noticed that the "foxy" animal would wait until the dogs were
running at full speed and then suddenly lie down and the Whole pack would
go over him and never see where he was.
Still another case is given by Wood of where a fox led those who were
chasing him to tho top of a high bluff and then suddenly disappeared. It
Wns plain enough, for the crafty fellow simply let himself down by his
claws until he landed on a small shelf under the edgo of tho cliff and then
disappeared into a hole mi the side of the hill.
We hope this helps our young members and if thero is any other animal
you would like to henr about, just write in. FARMER SMITH,
Children's Editor, Evening Ledger.

Jnade him sit up In bed and look nnd

H was some one tapping, gently tap
Ping at his window. Looking more

and he got out of bed and tip-toed to

Sure enough! Jt "WAS a star and on

ft Bngoth of the detachment that had
pursued nnd overtaken them.
At tho Intelligence my heart sprang
to my throat, for I was Buro that tho
two were of thoso who escaped In tho
dark grotto with Hoojn the Sly One,
and that Dlan must bo tho woman.
Qhak thought bo, too, as did Perry.
"Is thero naught that we may do to
eax-e hcrf I asked Qhak.
"Naught," ho replied.
Along the crowded avenue we marched,
the guards showing unusual cruelty to
ward us, as though we, too, hnd been
Implicated In tho murder of their fellow.
Tho occasion was to serve as an object
lesson to nil other slaves of the danger
and futility of attempted escape, and
tho fatal consequences of taking tho life
of a superior being; nnd so I Imagine
tho Sagoths felt amply Justified In mak
ing tho entlro proceeding ns uncomfort
able and painful to us ns possible.
They Jabbed us with their Bpenrs, nnd
struck nt us with their hatchets at the
least provocation, and at no provocation
nt all. It was a most uncomfortable
half hour that wo spent beforo wo were
linaiiy herded through a low entrance
Into a huge building, tho centre of which
wns given up to a large arena. Benches
surrounded this opon spneo upon three
sides, nnd along tho fourth were heaped
hugo boulders which rose In receding
tiers toward tho roof.
At first I couldn't make out tho pur
pose of this mighty pllo of rock, unless
It wero Intended ns a rough nnd pic
turesque background for tho scenes which
were enacted In tho arena before It; but
presently, nftcr tho wooden benches hnd
been pretty well filled by slaves 'and
Sagoths, I discovered tho purposo of tho
boulders; for then tho Mahars com
menced to file Into tho Inclosuro.
They marched directly across the arena
toward tho rocks upon the opposite side,
where, spreading their bntltkc wings, they
roso nbovo tho high wall of tho pit, set
tling down upon the bouldera nbove.
These wore the reserved scats, tho boxes
of tho elect.
Hero they lolled, blinking their hideous
eyes, and doubtless conversing with ono
nnother In their slxth-sonse-fourth-dl-mcnslon
language.
Kor tho first tlmo I beheld their queen.
She differed from tho others In no
feature that was appreciable to my earth
ly eyes; In fact, all JIaharn look nlIRo
to me; but when she crossed the arena,
nftcr tho balance of her femalo subjects
had found their boulders, bIio was pre
ceded by a scoro of hugo Sagoths, the
largest I had over seen, and on cither
sldo of her waddled a hugo thlpdar, while
behind came another scoro of Sagoth
guardsmen.
At the barrier tho Sagoths clambered
up tho steep sldo with truly npcllko agil
ity, whllo behind them the haughty queen
roso upon her wings, with her two fright
ful dragons close bcsldo her, and settled
down upon the largest boulder of them
all. In tho exact centre of that side of
the amphitheatre which Is reserved for
tho dominant race.
Hero sho squatted, a most repulsive and
uninteresting queen; though doubtless
qulto as well assured of her beauty nnd
divine right to rule ns the proudest
monarch of tho outer world.
And then the music started muslo with
out sound! Tho Mahars cannot hear, so
tho drums nnd fifes nnd horns of earthly
bands are unknown among them. The
"band" consists of a score or more
Mahars. It filed out In tho centre of
the arena, where tho creatines upon tho
rocks might see It and thero It performed
for 15 or 20 minutes.
Their technique consisted In waving

their tails and moving their heads In a
regular succession of measured move
ments, resulting In a cadence which evi
dently plenscd the eye of the Mnhar as
tho cadenco of our own Instrumental
music pleases our ears.
Sometimes the hand took mensured steps
In unison to one side or tho other, or
backward and again forward; It all
seemed very silly and meaningless to
me; but nt tho end of the first ploco tho
Mahars upon the rocks showed tho first
Indications of enthusiasm that I had seen
displayed by tho dominant race of Pel
lucldar. They beat their great wings up and
down, nnd smoto their rocky perches
with their mighty tails until tho ground
shook. Then tho band started another
piece, nnd all was again ns silent ns tho
grave.
That was ono great beauty about Mahar
music If you didn't happon to llko a
pleco that was being played, nil you had
to do was to shut your eyes.
When tho band had exhausted Its
repertory It took wing and settled upon
rocks nbovo nnd behind tho queen. Then
tho business of tho day was on.
A man and woman were pushed Into
tho nrena by a couple of Sagoth guards
men. I leaned far forward In my sent to
scrutinize the female hoping against
hope thnt sho might prove to be another
than Dlan tho Beautiful.
Hor back wns toward mo for n whllo,
nnd tho sight of tho great mass of raven
hair piled high upon her head filled mo
with alarm.
Presently a door In one sldo of the arena
wnll was opened to admit a huge, shaggy,
bull-llko creature.
"A bos," whispered Perry excitedly.
"Ills kind roamed the outer crust with
tho cave bear and tho mammoth ages
and nges ago. Wo hnvo been carried
back n million years, David, to tho child
hbod of a planet. Is It not wondrous7"
Hut I saw only the rnven hair of n half
naked girl, nnd my heart stood still In
dumb misery nt the sight of her, nor had
I any eyes for the wonders of natural
hlBtory.
But for Perry and 3hnk. I Bhould
have leaped to tho floor of tho arena
nnd shared whatever fnto lay In storo
for this beauty of tho Stone Age.
With the advent of tho bos they call
tho thing a thng within Pellucldar two
spears wero tossed Into the nrenn at tho
feet of tho prisoners. It seemed to me
that a bean-shooter would havo been ns
offectlvo against tho mighty monster ns
these pitiful weapons.
An tho animal npproached tho two, bel
lowing and pawing tho ground with the
strength of many earthly bulls, nnother
door directly beneath us was opened, and
from It Issued tho most terrific roar that
had even fallen upon my outraged cars.
I could not nt first see tho beast from
which emanated this fearsomo challenge,
but the sound had tho effect of bringing
tho two victims round with a sudden
start, nnd then I saw the girl's face. She
was not Dlan!
CHAPTER VII.
FItEEDOM.
AND now, ns the two stood frozen In
. terror. I saw tho author of that
fearsomo sound creeping steadily Into
vlow. It was a hugo tiger such as hunted
tho great bos through tho Jungles
primeval when tho world was young.
In contour nnd markings It was not
unllko the noblest of tho Bengals of our
own world, but ns Its dimensions wero
exaggerated to colossal proportions, so,
too, were Its colorings exaggerated. Its

vivid yellows fairly screamed aloud: Its
whites wero ns eiderdown; Its blacks
glossy as the finest anthracite conl. nnd
Its coat long and shaggy ns a mountnln
goat.
That It Is a beautiful animal there Is
no gainsaying but If Its slzo nnd colors
are magnified hero within Pellucldar, so
Is tho ferocity of Its disposition.
It la not tno orcnslonal member of Its
species that Is a mnn-hunter nil nro man
hunters; but they do not confine their
foraging to man alone, for thero Is no
flesh or fish within Pellucldar that they
will not eat with relish In the constant
efforts which thev make to furnish their
hugo enrensscs with sufficient sustenanco
to maintain their mighty thows.
Upon ono sldo of tho doomed pair the
thng bellowed and advanced, and upon
the other, tarag, tho frightful, crept
toward them with gaping mouth nnd
dripping fnngs
The mnn seized up tho spears, hnndlng
ono of them to tho woman. At tho
sound of tho roaring of the tiger tho bull's
bellowing became a Veritable frenzy of
rngeful nolac. Ncvor In my life had I
heard such nti Infernal din nfl tho two
brutes made, nnd to think It was all lost
upon tho hideous reptiles for whom tho
Bhow was being staged!
Tho thag wns charging now from one
sldo and tho tarng from the other. Tho
two puny things standing between them
seemed nlrcndy lost, but nt the very
moment that tho beasts seemed upon
them the man grasped his companion by
tho arm and togothcr they leaped to
one side, while the frenzied creatures
camo together llko locomotives In col
lision. Thero ensued a battlo royat which for
sustained nnd frightful ferocity trans
cends tho power of Imagination or
description.
Time nnd again tho colossal bull tossed
tho enormous tiger high Into tho air,
but each tlmo that tho huge cat touched
the ground ho returned to tho encounter
with apparently undiminished strength
nnd seemingly Increased Ire.
For a while tho man nnd woman busied
themselves only with keeping out of tho
way of tho two creatures, but tlnnlly I
saw them separate and each creep
stealthily toward ono of the combatants.
The tiger was now upon the bull's broad
back, clinging to the hugo neck with
powerful fnngs, while Its long, strong
talons ripped the heavy hide Into shreds
and ribbons.
For a moment tho bull stood bellowing
and quivering with pain and rngo, Its
cloven hoofs wide-spread. Its tall lashing
viciously from sldo to side, nnd then, In
a mad orgy of bucking. It went careening
about tho arena In a frenzied attempt to
unseat Its rending rider. It was with
difficulty that tho girl avoided tho first
mad rush of the wounded animal.
All Us crforts to rid Itself of the tiger
seemed futile, until In desperation It
throw Itself upon tho ground, rolling over
and over. A llttlo of this fo disconcerted
tho tiger, knocking Its breath from It,
I Imagine, that It lost Its hold, and then,
quick as a cat, tho great thng was up
again nnd hnd burled those mighty horns
deep In tho tarag's abdomen, pinning him
to the floor of tho arena.
The groat cat clawed nt the shaggy
head until eyes nnd cars were gone nnd
naught but n few strips of ragged, bloody
flesh remained upon the skull. Yet
through all the agony of that fearful
punishment the thng still stood motion
less, pinning down his adversary, nnd
then the man leaped In, seeing that tho
blind bull would be tho least formldablo
enemy, and ran his spear through tho
tarag's heart.
As the animal's flerco clawing ceased
tho bull raised his gory, sightless head
and, with a horrid roar, ran headlong
across tho nrena.
With great leaps and bounds he came
straight toward tho arena wall directly
beneath where we Bat, nnd then accident
carried him. In one of his mighty springs,
completely over tho barrier, Into tho
midst of tho slaves nnd Sagoths Just In
front of us.
Swinging his bloody horns from side to
side, the beast cut n wide swath beforo
him straight upward toward our seats.
Beforo him slaves and gorilla-men fought
In mad Btnmpedo to escape the menaco
of tho creaturo's death agonies, for such
only could that frightful charge havo
been.
Forgetful of us, our guards Joined In
tho general rush for tho exits, many of
which pierced tho wall of the nmphl
theatre behind us.
Perry, Ghak, and I became separated
In tho chaos which reigned for a few
moments after the beast cleared the wall
of tho arena, each Intent upon saving
his own llfo.
I rnn to tho right, parsing several exits
choked with the fenr-rrmd mob that wore
battling to escape. fl)no would have
thought that an entire herd of thags was
loose behind them, rather than a single,
blinded, dying beast; bat such is the
effect of panic upon a crowd. ,

GOOD FORM
Owing to the fact that the Kvenlno
Ledger is conjfanflp aked questions
relating to mailer 0 tllqueitc, It has
been decided to open a column In
kohlch queries of this Mni may be an
tioered. The column t edited under a pjeu
donymi but It Is, nevertheless, edited
bu an authority on social conventions,
who is prepared to answer clearly,
carefully and conclusively any query
ohlch may be propounded.
Qood form queries should be ad'
dressed to Deborah Hush, written on
one side of the paper and signed with
full name and address, though Initials
OltTiY will be published upon request.
On the subject of Invitation-!, a ques
tion often asked Is Just whnt Invitations
require nnswers Immediately and Is It ever
permitted not to answer an Invitation.
The only Invitation which does not re
quire nn early answer Is tho tea card,
but It Is customary In this country to
leave or send cards on the day of tho
tea. If ono Is unable to nttend cards
should be Inclosed In nn envelope fitted
for tho purposo nnd should bo mailed so
ns to nrrlve on tho day of the tea. If,
however, ono has Intended going nnd Is
prevented, It Is polite to mall tho cards
that evening, so tho hoste.11 will know of
the good Intentions to nttend. Whether one
attends n tea or not cards should be left.
A tray Is always provldod at tho door on
which to place them when entering tho
house. Othor Invitations should bo an
swered as soon ns possible, with tho ex
ceptions of church wedding Invitations,
which do not require an answer.
Who Will Announce It?
Dear Deborah Hush I am an orphan
and havo only one brother, who Is 14 years
old. I nm engaged to bo married and
want to make tho announcement through
tho papers. Is it good rorm to announco
It myself. M. II. R.
If you havo no aunt, undo or cousin
who can announce it for you, tho only
thing to do Is to send the following form
to tho papers: The engagement of Miss
, dnughtor of tho late Mr. and
Mrs. , to Mr. Is announced.
How Soon Must I Answer?
Dear Deborah Hush I have received an
Invitation for a dinner and am not sure I
can ncccpt, ns a business engagement may
Interforo. Tho Invitation came yesterday.
How long could I wait to nnswer it? If
I could wait four days I might bo able to
nccept. J. M. G.
Etiquette demands nn answer ns speed
ily as possible, though It would not bo
considered rudo If the response came
within a week. In the case of a regret,
however, It Is bad form to let much tlmo
elapse, as the hostess will wish to Invito
nnother guest In your place.
Another Phase on tho Snndwlch
Dear Deborah Hush Perhaps you will
be Interested In another explanation of
tho reason why n man should not walk
between two women, ns tho phrase goes.
A man who walks In this way em
phasizes the opinion he holds of his own
Interest to tho two women with whom ho
happens to be walking. He should devote
himself to tho arduous duties of protect
ing the both of them Instead of Insisting
upon his neutrality, his ever so precious
and Impartial brilliance. What?
R. CRAMPION.
A lucid explanation, aside from tho
looks of the thing.
Party Calls
Dear Deborah Rush Is it necessary to
pay a call after attending a beefsteak
