It from nil other trails Uiat I have seen
within or without tho earth.
It would run on plain and clear and
well donned to end suddenly In tho midst
of n. tnnglo of matted Jungle, then Ja
would turn tllrcclly back In his tracks
for a llttlo distance, spring Into n tree,
climb through It to tho other side, drop
on to a fallen log, leap over a low bush.
Onco moro alighting upon n distinct trail,
he would follow It back for a short dis
tance, only to turn directly about nnd
rotraco his steps, until after a mile or
loss this new pathway ended as suddenly
and mysteriously no tho former section.
Then ho would pnss again ncross Bomo
media which would reveal no spoor, to
tako up tho broken thread of tho trail
beyond.
As tho purposo of this remarkablo
avontlo dawned upon mo I could not but
admlro tho native shrewdness of tho
nnclent progenitor of tho Mozops who hit
upon this novel plan to throw his enemies
from IiIb track nnd delay or thwart thorn
In their attempts to follow him to bin
doop-buiicd cities,
To you of tho outer earth it might
seem a slow and tortuous mothod of
traveling through tho Jungle, but wero
you of Pellucldar you would reallzo that
tlmo Is no factor whero tlmo does not
oxlst.
Bo labyrinthine aro tho windings of
thoso trails, so varied tho connecting links
nnd tho distances which ono must rotraco
ono's stops from tho paths' ends to And
them that a Mczop often roaches man's
citato before ho Is familiar oven with
thoso which load from his own city to tho
sea.
In fact, thrco-fourths of tho education
of tho young malo Mezop consists In fa
miliarizing httnsolf with thoso Junglo ave
nues, and tho status of nn adult Is largely
detormlnod by tho number of trails which
ho can follow upon his own Island.
Tho females never learn them, slnco
from birth to doath thoy nover leavo tho
vlllago of tholr nativity, except thoy bo
taken to raato by a mulo from another
vlllago or captured In war by tho enomies
of tholr tribe.

what must havo boon upward of (lvo miles
wo omergod suddenly Into n Inrgo clear

as strango nn appearing village as ono
might well Imagine
Largo trocs had boon chopped down 15
or 20 feet abovo tho ground, and upon tho
tops of thorn spherical habitations of
woven twigs, mud-covered, had been built.
Each ball-like houso was surmounted
by soma manner of carven Imago, which
Ja told mo Indicated tho Identity of tho
ownor. ,
Horizontal silts, bIx Inchos high and two
or thrco foet wide, served to admit light
and ventilation. Tho entrances to tho
houses woro through Bmall apertures In
tho basos of tho trees and thence up
wnrd ,by rudo ladders through tho hollow
Hunks to tho rooms above.
Tho houses varied In slzo from two
to several rooms. Tho largest that I en
tered was divided Into two lloors and eight
apartments.
All nbout tho vlllago, botwoen It and
tho Junglo, lay beautifully cultivated
Holds, In which tho Mezops raised such
cereals, fruits and vegetables as thoy re
quired. Women nnd children wero work

At sigh of Jn they saluted deferential

Wo had eaten nnd rested, and I had

thon tho rod man proposed that I ac

slowly nnd majestically through tho largo

In stately mnnner nbout tho tomple.
Thero wero sovoral Mnhars first, and
then at least 20 Inspiring pterodactyls

Bolilnd these camo tho queen flanked by
other thlpdors as sho had been when sho
entered tho amphtthentro nt Phutra.
Threo times they wheeled about the In
terior of tho oval chamber, to settle flnal
ly upon tho damp, cold boulders that
frlngo tho outer edgo of tho pool. In tho
ccntro of ono side tho largest rock was
reserved for tho queen, nnd horo Bho took
her place surrounded by her tcrrlblo
guard.
All lay quiet for several minutes aftor
settling to their places. Ono might have
Imagined them In sllont prayer. Tho poor
slaves upon tho dlmlnutlvo Islands
watched tho horrid creatures with wldo
oyca. Tho men, for tho most part, Btood
orcct 'and stately with folded nrniB, await
ing ther doom; but tho women nnd chil
dren clung to ono another, hiding behind
tho mates.
Now tho queen moved. Sho raised her
ugly head, looking nbout; then very slow
ly Bho crawled to tho edgo of her throno
nnd slid noiselessly Into tho wator. up
and down tho long tank sho swnm, turn

Nearer and nearer to tho tstnnds sho

beforo tho largest, which lay directly op

hoad from tho wator, she llxod her great,
round eyes upon tho slnvcs.
Tho queen llxcd her gazo upon a plump
young maiden.
Hor victim tried to turn away, hiding
hor faco In hor hnndn nnd kneeling be

blinking oyes, Btnrcd on with such flxlty
that I could havo sworn hor vision pene
trated the woman and tho girl's hands,
to reach at last tho vory centro of her
brnln.
Slowly tho roptllo'a head commenced to
movo to and fro, but tho eyes never
censed to boro toward tho frightened
girl, and then tho victim responded.
Sho turned wide, fear-haunted eyes to
ward tho Mahar qucon; slowly sho roso
to hor feet, and then, ns though dragged
by somo unseen power, moved ns ono In a
trnnco strnlght townrd tho reptile, her
glassy oyes llxed upon thoso of her cap

sho even pause, but stepped into tho shal

On sho moved toward tho Mahar, who
now slowly retreated as though leading
her victim on.
Tho water roso to tho girl's knees, and
still sho ndvanccd, chained by that clam

Now tho wator was at her waist.
Now to hor armpits
Hor fellows upon tho Island looked on
In horror, helpless to avert her doom In
which they saw a forecast of their own.
Tho Mahar had sunk now till only tho
long upper bill and eyes wero exposed

girl advanced until tho end of that fright
ful beak was but an Inch or two from hor
faco, hor horror-filled ryes riveted upon
thoso of the repulsive repttlo.
Now tho water passed abovo tho girl's
mouth and noso, her eyes nnd forehead
wero nil that showed, yet still sho walked
on nftor the retrentlng Mahar.
Tho queen's head slowly disappeared be

Is Your Butter Renovated? Is Your Jelly a Pure Fruit
Juice? Is Your Candy Artjfiially Colored?
Test It to See
By VIRGINIA E. KIFT
PUT a samplo of butter In n pan nnd
molt. If Impure, rejuvenated or part
oleomargnrlno It will sputter and boll
noisily. If pure It will fonm and bubblo
quietly.
Another test! Heat tho butter In n.
email amount of milk, stirring IhorouBhly
until It Is melted. Next cool It suddenly
In a glnes placed in a bowl of Ico wntcr.
Keep stirring until the butter hardens.
If Impure, rejuvenated or oloomnrparlno
It will harden in ono mass. If pure It
will solidify In flakes or granules scat
terrd through tho milk.
Somo peoplo still havo a mistaken Idea
that oleomnrgnrino Is in some way In
jurious, or not as pood as butter. Oleo
