Thero was nothing to grasp to savo my self, nnd I plunged headforemost Into tho water below.

For a moment I was puzzled to account for the thing, until I realized that tho reptiles, being deaf, could not havo boon disturbed by tho nolso my body mado when It hit tho water, and Hint thero Is no such thing ns tlmo within Pellu'eldnr thcro was no telling how long I had been beneath tho surface. It wns a 'difficult thing to nttempt to figure out by earthly standards this mat ter of elapsed time .but when I set my self to It I began to realize that I might havo been submerged a second or a month or not at all.

FARMER SMITH, , Our Postoflico Box 11 A little Oermantown Rainbow, Helen McMahon, of Locust avenue, says "how do you do" to her fellow members this .evening. Wo know the fellow members are saying (he very same thing to her, so let's all smile to gether and be happy Just because we're friends. We have received many answers to tha suggestion of Mat thew Palmer, of South street, that the Ralpbows make 100 words from "George Washington.'.' Jaak 11iircAa- nf Cedar HELEN McMAHON avenue, who has dis tinguished himself In many ways of late (Jack Is founder of a branch club and an artist of the flrst degree), made BOO words 1 What do you think of that J Oer trude AlUma. South 6th street, and Cella Olrsh. North Hth street, sent In 100 natly penned words, and Gertrude wants the Rainbows to mako 100 words from "Metrq politan." Little out-of-town minds were, hi, tavinir "Oeorua Washington" anart At tho thought cold sweat broke out Upon mo from every pore, nnd as I crawled from tho wnter on to ono of tho tiny Island I wns trembling llko a leaf you can Imagine tho awful horror which oven tha simple thought of tho repulslvo Mahars of l'eltucldnr Induces In the hu man mind, nnd to feel that you aro In their power-that they aro crawling, slimy and abhorrent, to drag you down beneath the water nnd devour youl It Is frightful. UUt they did not como, nnd at Inst I enmo to tho conclusion that I was Indeed alone within tho templo. How long I should bo alono was tho next question to assail mo as I swam frantlcnlly nbout onco moro In search of a means of cs capo. Soveral times I called to Ja, but ho must havo left nfter I tumblod Into tho tank, for I received no rosponso to my cries. Doubtless ho hnd felt as certain of my doom when ho saw mo topplo from our hiding plnco ns I hnd, nnd lest ha too should bo discovered had hastened from tho templo nnd bnck to I1I3 village. I know that there must bo somo en trnnco to the building besldo tho door, ways In tho roof, for It did not seem rcnsonnblo to bcllevo that tho thousands of slaves which wero brought hero to feed tho Mahars tho human Mesh they craved would all be carried thrmiDh tlm nir. nn,i so I continued my Search until at Inst It wns rewarded by tho discovery of soveral looso grnnlto blocks In tho masonry at ono end of tho templo. A little elTort proved sufficient to dls lodgo these stones to permit mo to crawl uirougn into tho clearing beyond, and a moment later I hnd scurried across tho Intervening spaco to tho denso Junglo beyond. jlcro I tsnnk pnntlng nnd trembling upon tho matted grasses beneath tho giant trees, for I felt Hint I had escaped from tho grinning' fnngs of death out of tha depths of my own gravo. Whatever dangers tay hidden In this Island Jungle, thoro could bo nono so fear somo as thoso which I hnd Just escaped. I know that I could meet death bravely enough If It but came In tho form ot somo famlllnr boast or man anything othor than tho hideous nnd uncanny Mahars. I must hnvo fallen asleep from ex haustion. When I nwoke I wns very hun gry, nnd nfter busying myself searching for fruit for a whllo, I Rot oft through tho Junglo to find tho beach. I know that tho ldland wns not so lnrgo but that I could easily find tho sea, If I did but move In a straight line, but thcro came tho difficulty, ns thero wns no way In which I could direct my courso nnd hold it, tho sun, ot course, being alwnya directly nbovo my head, nnd tho trees so thickly set that I could see no distant object which might servo to guldo mo In a straight lino. As It was I must havo walked for n grent distance, slnco I ato four times and slept twlco boforo I reached tho sea, but at last I did so, and my pleasure at tho sight of It was greatly enhanced by tho chanco discovery of a hidden canoe nmong tho bushes through which I hnd stumbled Just prior to coming upon the bench. I can tell you that It did not take mo long to pull thnt awkward craft down to tho water nnd shovo It far out from shore. My experience with Ja had taught mo that If I were to steal nnothor canoo I must he quick nbout It and get far be yond tho owner's reach as soon as pos sible. I must havo como out upon the oppo site sldo of the Island from that at which Ja and I had entered It, for tho main land was nowhero In sight. For a long RAINBOW CLUB Important! This iH Daby Week.

In spito of tho war, SPUING IS COMING I FAIUIGR SMITH'S FROG BOOK The Sneeze Medicine. "Ting-a-llng ! Tlng-tliig-n-llng-llng !" Tho telephone rang and Mrs. Hull Frog answored It. When sho had hung up the receiver she camo back to her husband and said, "My dear, Willlo Hop Toad has the sneezes and you must go right away." "Oh, dear!" oxclalmed tho good doctor with a yawn, "wish you would call up the garage and have my Turtle Runabout come to the front door." In a few' minutes tho Turtle was wait ing and Doctor Bull Frog hopped on his back, and In throo hours (for the Turtle went very fast) he was at Mrs. Hop Toad's door. When Willie's mother had told him how Willie Just couldn't stop sneezing, the rfbod doctor said: 'This Is funny, very funny! Only this afternoon I went to seo AVIIIIe Troe Toad for the same thing. Has your uoy neen over to see willlo Tree Toad?" "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I know ho has caught something dreadful! What shall I flo, what shall I do?" "Calm yourself," said Doctor BulJ Frog, softly. "I know I know sneezing comes from a terrible germ, and my poor Willie oh, what shall I do?" "Willie," said Doctor Bull Frog, sternly, "did you at any Qf thoso sugar pills I left for Willlo Tree Toad? Answer mo!" "Cher-choo-o I I er-cher-choq-o I ate the cher-chool I ate tho whole bottle a jh-o-o-o I" "Like cures like, and so I gave Willie Tree Toad sneezo pills to stop him sneez ing and three dollars, please. THANK YOU I" "I'll make that little rascal pay me that out of his bank," said Mrs. Hop Toad, and then SHE sneezed. "Havo you a GERM?" asked Willie. But his mother was too thankful to spank him.

At tho sight of It I lost no tlma in directing my courao toward It, for I had long mco mndo up my mind to return to Phutra nnd give myself up that I (night be once moro with Perry nnd Qhak tho Hairy Ono. I felt that I was a fool over to havo attempted to escape alone, especially in view of tho fact that our plans were nlready well-formulated to mako a break for freedom together. Of course I realized that tho chances of tho success of our proposed venture were slim Indeed. I knew, howovcr, that I never could enjoy freedom without Perry so long ns tho old man lived, and I had learned that the probability that I might find means from without to rcscuo him wns less than Blight , Had Perry been dead I should gladly havo pitted my strength nnd wit against tho savngo nnd primordial world In which I found mysolf, I could havo lived In seclusion within some rocky envo until I hnd found tho means to outfit myself with the crude weapons of tho Stone Age, nnd then set out In search of her whoso Imago had now become the constant companion of my wnklng hours, nnd tho central and beloved figure of my dreams. But, to tho best of my knowledge, Perry still lived and It was my duty and my wish to bo again with him, that wo might shnro the dangers nnd vicissitudes of tha strnngo world wo had discovered. And Qhak, too; tho great, shaggy man hnd found n plnco In tho hearts of us both, for he was Indeed ovory Inch a man and king. Uncouth, porhaps, and brutal, too. If Judged too harshly by tho standards of effoto twentieth century civilization, but withal noble, dlgnllled, chivalrous and lovable Chance carried mo to tho very beach upon which I hnd discovered Ja's canoe, nnd a short time Inter I was scrambling up tho steep bnnk to rctrnco my steps from tho plnln of Phutra. Hut my troubles camo when I entered tho canyon bej on,l tho summit, for hero I found that soveral of them centred nt tho point where I crossed the divide, nnd which ono I had traversed to reach tho pass I could not for tho Ufa of mo re member. It was all a matter of chance, and so I set off down that which seemed tha easiest going, and In this I mado tho same tnlstnko that mnny of us do In se lecting tho path along which wo shnlt follow out tho courso of our lives, and again learned that It Is not always best to follow tho lino of least resistance. Ily tho tlmo I had cnton eight meals and slept twlco I was convinced that I was upon tho wrong trail, for between Phutra and tho Inland sea I had not slept nnd had eaten but onco. To retrncc my steps to tho summit of tho divide nnd exploro another canyon seemed tho only solution of my problem, but a sudden widening of tho canyon Just beforo mo seemed to suggest that It was about to open Into a lovel country, and, with tho lure of discovery strong upon me, I decided to proceed but a short dis tance farther beforo I turned back. Tho next turn of tho canyon brought mo to Its mouth, and beforo 1110 I saw a narrow plain leading down to an ocean. At my right tho sldo of tho canyon continued to tho water's edge, tho valley lying to my left nnd tho foot of It run ning Into tho sea, whero It formed a broad, level beach. Clumps of strango trees dotted tho Inns scape hero and thcro almost to tho water, and rank grass and ferns grew between. From tho naturo of the vegetation, I wns convinced thnt tho land between the pecan and the foothills was swampy, though directly beforo mo It seemed dry enough nil the wny to tho sandy strip along which tho restless waters advanced and re treated. Curiosity prompted me to walk down to tho bench, for tho sceno was very beautiful. As I passed along besldo tho deep and tangled vegetation of tho swamp I thought I saw a movement of the ferns nf my loft, but though I stopped a mo ment to look, It was not repeated, and If anything lay hid thoro my oyes could not ponotrato tho denso follago to discern It. Presently I stood upon tho beach, look ing out over tho wide and lonely sea, ncross whoso forbidding bosom no human being had yet ventured to discover what strnngo and mysterious lands lay beyond or what Its lnvislblo Islands held of riches, wonders, or advunture. What savngo racos. what flerce and formidable boasts, wero this very Instant watching tho lapping of the wavos upon its farther Muirc? How far did It extend? Porry had told 1110 that tho seas of Pellucldar were small In comparison with thoso of tho outer crust, but oven so this great ocean might stretch its broad ex pnnso for thousands ot miles. For count less ages It had rolled up and down Its countless miles of shore; and yet today It remained all unknown beyond tho tiny strip that was vlslblo from Its beaches. Tho fascination of speculation was strong upon mo. It was ns though I hud been carried back to tho birth of time of our own outer or!d to look upon Its lands nnd seas ages beforo man had travel scd either. Here was a new world, nil untouched. It called to mo to explore It. I wns dreaming of the excitement and ndventuro which lay boforo us could Perry and I but cscapo the Mahars, when some thing n slight noise, I Imagine drew my attention behind mo. As I turned, romance, ndventuro and discovery In tho abstract took wing be fore the terrible embodiment of nil threo In concreto form that I beheld advancing upon me. A huge, slimy amphibian It was, with (oadtlko body and tho mighty Jaws of an nllieator. Its immense carenss must havo weighed tons, and yet It moved swiftly and silently toward mo. Upon one hand was tho bluff that ran from the canyon to the sea, on tho other tho fearsome swamp from which the ci nature hud sneaked upon me, behind lay tho mighty untracked sea, and beforo mo In tho centro of the narrow way that led to safety stood this hugo mountain of terrlblo and menacing flesh. A single glance at the thing was suf flcient to assure mo that I was facing one of those long-extinct, prehlstortn creatures whoso fossilized remains are found with in tho outer crust as far hack ns the Trlasslc formation, a glgantlo labyrln thodon. And there I was, unarmed and, with tho exception of a loin cloth, as naked ns I had come Into tho worm 1 coum Imagine how my flrst ancestor felt that distant, prehistoric morn that ho encoun tered for the first time the terrifying progenitor of the thing that had me cornered now beslda the restless, mysteri ous sea. Unquestionably he had escaped, or I should not have been within Pellucldar or elsewhere, and I wished at that mo ment that he had handed down to me with tho various attributes that, I presume, I have Inherited from him the speclno ap plication of the Instinct of self.preserva tlon which saved him from the fate which loomed so close before me today. To seek escape In tne swamp or In the ocean would have been similar to Jumping Into a den of lions to escape one upon the outside. The sea and swamp both were doubtless allvo with these mighty, carnivorous amphibians, which If pot the individual that menaced me would pursue me Into either the sea or tho swamp with equal facility.

STOKOWSKI WOMEN ORCHESTRA IDEA HAS WARM SUPPORTERS Only Tradition Blocks Way to Tho Blooming of Feminine Geniuses in Euterpe's Art, Says Noted Pianist AND MEN'S COMFORT, TOO In tho languago of the funny postcards Leopold StokowRkl "stnrtcd something" when ho camo out In favor of woman or chestra lenders nnd fcmlnlno members of tho orchestra. After listening to tho views of some of Philadelphia's most eminent jvomon musicians, tho ordinary mortal Is Inclined to ngrco with Mr. Stokowskl when ho declares that tradition Is cheating tho world of Its women geniuses, nnd that thero Is nothing but nil absurd tirnlntttrn to prevent women from competing credita bly with such men as Messrs. Thnddous Rich, Hermnn Sandby, linns Klndler, Hcdtla van den Becmt, Daniel Mnrquarro and tho rest of them. They'll havo to watch tholr Btep, for woman's tlmo Is coming. "Tho mon havo been leagued against fcmlnlno progress for many years. No man wants to como homo nnd And his comfort has been sacrificed to his wlfo's career. So the malo nnlmal blocks the path of art nnd puts out tho claim of domesticity. Thoy havo been keeping us from learning our power too long." This wns tho reply of Mrs. Mnry Hallock Groonownlt, well-known pianist nnd suf frngl9t, to tho critics of tlm . Htnltmi-ntt article. "I seo no renson why wo shouldn't havo an orchestra mndo up nnd directed hy womon," Mrs. Qrooncwnlt declared, "but i can easily understand why wo do not. An orchestra Is n luxury, nnd a most ex pensive ono. Thero nro only a few rcallv great orchestras In tho United States, rho small cities and towns ennnot sup port them. Tho salaries aro high and tho city hns to pay them. So It stands to reason that If It is a question of giving out sugnr plums tho men got the prefer ence, thnt's all. "Unfair? Of courses It's unfair, but I think that mon nro frequently unfair when It comes to a quosstton of allowing women perfect freedom. No man wants to como homo nnd And his comforts sac rificed to somo woman's enrcer. They therefore league togcthor In a traditional and entirely unjust tyranny which kcops women domestic In splto of themselves. Why, wo would bo great artists but for tho unnatural and natural obstacles which prevent irs from progressing. "I don't menn by tills thnt a woman cannot havo n happy marrlngo nnd a career too, but It Is the exceptional woman and tho exceptional man who makes such a match. A single woman who goes into grand opera, for Instance, has many nbstncles, cxponslvo clothes to sup ply, continuous travelling which under mines her health, unplcassant and often times fntnl troubles with her manager, nnd hundreds of littlo things which, Just becnuso thoy aro littlo things, keep tho artist far in tho background mid tho prac tical woman to tho fore. A married woman has less troublo If sho knows how to manage. Look at Madamo Schumann Helnk nnd Mndnme Homer. They havo large families, yet they aro stars of tho first magnitude. They hnvo their art and their homes, too. But too many women sacrifice their homes to tholr career, or vlco versa. "Now I am posltlvo that G hours a day Is enough for any woman to devote to her music. This leaves plenty ot tlmo for companionships, study, reading and pas time. When you titles Into consideration the hundreds of years which havo elapsed, mid tho very small minority of realty great men musicians nnd composers a mero handful of great names you era that, given tho handicap of domesticity, women haven't failed. They are doing much, and will do more. Wo shall havo our great women composers and womon directors lit time. "Felix Mendelssohn didn't write half ot tho famous Pongs Without Words which were published under his iiame. They wore written by his sister, Fnnnlo. And ho was so Jealous of her that ho was extremely oucrgctlc in keeping her musi cal training at a standstill. That Is what the ijreat mass of men nro doing today keeping their women away from a enreer, guarding their homes, for they fall to real ize that tho two nro compatible. Thoro Is an enormous waste of womanhood on this account an enormous waste of ge nius." Mrs. Nina Prettyman Howell, tho vio linist, agrees with Mr. Stokowskl that women aro cllglblo to tho symphony or chestras. "Why, whon I was at tho La Sc'ala Theatre In Milan I saw a woman violinist playing In tho orchestra. I asked tha leader If sho w'hb nn exception, and ho assured me that she wnsn't. Women hnvo as much recognition abroad as they lack over here. They have to qualify like tho men for musical positions, but thoy aro given full chances to qualify. Thero is no reason why women couldn t direct an opera, or anything else that a man can direct. In my opinion, women nro stronger that men, they will bear up under a nervous strain longer than most men. Thoy como up to the occasion and en dure, because they know they must. It's simply the opportunity, nnd nothing else, which keeps us from having great women musicians nnd composers." Mrs. Edith Mnhon, whoso beautiful ac companiments mako the singer's notes a double pleasure, when sho heard nbout Mr. Stokowskl's statement, refused to acknowledge a physical handicap. "Why. I can Btnnd as much as any man," Bho declared, "and many a time I have stood more than they do. I don't ngree that women today are physically In capable of actual labor and art Is labor. Fifty years ago we had no great women musicians, nnd, compared with the pres ent tlmo, I should say tho women of long ngo were hopeless. Thoy were entirely and hopelessly a domestic type. The av erage man looked on them as hnusofraus, and nothing more. Do you wonder that women have made no strides In the mu sical world? I'm perfectly sure that the tlmo to come will bring about great changes ; that wo shall have great women In every Held of art." MAIILON V. IVINS Prominent Citizen and Politician of Camden Mahlon F.
