TMEnD seemed nothing to do but ntuml
up'lnely nnd nwalt my end. I thouBlit
l rerry how he would wonder what hmt

owr our, to us, untimely demise.
The labyrlnthodon was coming more

He was about 60 feet from mo when I
heard a voice calling to mo from tho
direction of the bluff at my left.
I looked and could have shouted In de
llehl at tho sight that met my eyes,
There, waving frantically to mo, stood
;, urging mo to run for It to tho cliff's
base.
CHAPTER X.
PHUTItA AGAIN.
I HAD no Idea that I should escape tho
monster that had marked mo for his
breakfast, but at least I should not dlo
alono. Human eyes would watch my end.
It was cold comfort, I presume, yet I
derived some slight peaco of mind from
the contemplation of It.
To run seemed ridiculous, especially
toward that steep and unscalable cliff,
and yet I did so, and as I ran I saw Ja,
agile as a monkey, crawl down the prc-
.ii,...m tnrtn nf Mm rniVu nllncrlnt ...
r tmall projections, and tho tough creepers
that had found rooinoiu nero ana there.
The labyrlnthodon ovldcntly thought
that Ja was coming to -double his portion
of human flesh, so ho was In no haste to
pursue mo to tho cliff nnd frighten away
this other titbit. Instead, ho morely
trotted along behind me.
As, I approached tho foot of tho cllrt
I saw what Ja Intended doing, but I
doubted If tho thing would provo suc
cessful. He had come down to within
JO feet of the bottom nnd there, clinging
with ono hand to a small lodge, nnd with
his feet resting precariously upon tiny
hushes that grow from tho solid face of
the rock, ho lowered tho point of his long
ipear until It hung some six feet abovo
the ground.
To clamber up that slim Bhaft without
dragging Ja down and precipitating both
to the samo doom from which tho copper
colored ono was attempting to save mo
teemed utterly Impossible, and, as I camo
hear the spear, I told Ja so, and that I
would not risk him to try to savo myself.
But ho Insisted that ho knew what ho
was doing and was in no danger himself.
"The danger Is Btlll yours," he called,
for unloBs you movo much more rapidly
than you are now tho slthlc will bo upon

JUST ABOUT OURSELVES
Dear Children How long docs it take you to count 1500? Do nut try
now, but think of this: One day this week jve receiveil 1500 members. Yea,
all in one day, At that rate we will soon have 100,000 members. All trying,
and many of you succeeding, in making yourselves and others happy.
Did you ever think of what a wonderful thing our club is? There never
has been a club like it that we know of. There aro many clubs for children,
but only one where THRIFT AND INDUSTRY are stamped on the hearts of
members.
To be happy is to bo busy and the most unhappy person in all this world
is the one who is IDLE.
Tho sun is busy, the clouds are busy, the rain is busy somewhere and
brooks and rivers are still busier. The person who is not busy is out of
step with the entire universe.
vThe wind is doing something, especially in March, for then it is the
ground must be dried of tho moisture which has accumulated during the
winter. Nothing HAPPENS in nature; it all runs smoothly and evenly
with a PURPOSE.
Again the wind blows in the spririg to take the blossoms off the trees
so that the dainty little seeds may burst and ripen into fruit. The autumn,
too, has its winds so that the leaves may be wafted from the trees and cover
the ground like a blanket, and it has been so for a very, very long time.
Nature does not forget to do anything.
As you lie awake and listen to the wind, remember it is all a part of
one grand scheme to clothe you, to feed you and to add to your happiness in
some way, and if the shutter bangs and disturbs your rest, fix tho shutter,
tut do not blame the wind, for IT CANNOT HELP IT.
We must all find our place in the grand scheme of the universe, even
as the wind does in March, and if we bang something occasionally, that may
be part of the grand scheme, too, who knows?

Wclli Ja should know his own business.
I thought, and so I grasped the spear nnd
clambered up toward the red mnn as rap
Idly ns I could being so fnr removed
from my simian nncestors as I am. I
Imagined tho slow-wlttod slthlc, as Ja
called him. suddenly realized our Inten
tions nnd that he was quite likely to loso
nil his meal instead of having It doubled,
ns ho had hoped.
When ho saw me rlamberlng up that
spenr he let out n hlai that fairly shook
the ground, and came charging nfter me
at n terrlflo rate.
I had reached the top of tho spear by
this time, or nlmost nnother sK InchcB
would glvo mo a hold on Ja's hand, when
I felt n sudden wrench from below nnd,
glancing fearfully downward, saw the
mighty Jaws of tho monster closo on
tho sharp point of tho weapon.
I made n frantic effort to reach Ja's
hand, tho slthlc gavo a tremendous tug
that came near to Jerking Jn ftom his
frail hold on tho surfneo of the rock,
the spear slipped from his fingers, nnd,
still clinging to It, 1 plunged feet fore
most townrd my ravenous executioner.
At tho instant that ho felt the spear
como nway from Ja's hand tho denture
must hnvo opened his huno laws tn catch
mo. for when I enme down, still clinging
to tho butt-end of tho weapon, the point
yet rested In his mouth, nnd the result
was that tho sharp end transfixed his
lower Jaw.
With the pain ho snapped his mouth
closed. I fell upon his snout, lost my
hold upon the spear, rolled the length
of his face nnd head, ncross his short
neck on to his broad back nnd from thero
to tho ground.
Scarco had I touched the earth than I
was upon my feet, dashing nu.dly for the
path by which I had entered this horrible
valley.
A glance over my shoulder showed
mo the slthlc engaged In pawing nt tho 1
spear stuck through his lower Jaw, nnd
so busily engaged did ho remain In this
occupation that I had gained tho safety
of tho cliff-top beforo ho wns ready to
tako up tho pursuit.
When ho did not discover me In sight
within tho vnlloy he dashed, hissing, into
the rank vegetation of the swamp, and
that was tho last I saw of him,
I hastened to tho cliff edge nbovo .In
nnd helped him to a secure footing. Ho
would not listen to any thanks for his
attempt to savo me, which had como bo
near miscarrying.
"I had given you up for lost when you
tumbled into tho Mnhar temple." ho said,
"for not even I could savo you from their
clutches. You may imagine my surprise
when, on seeing a carioc dragged up upon
tho beach of tho mainland, I discovered
your own footprints in tho sand beside It.
"I Immediately set out In search of you,
knowing, as I did, that you must bo en
tirely unarmed and defenseless against the
many dangers which lurk upon the main
land, both In the form of savage beasts
and reptiles, and men ns well. I had no
difficulty In tracking you to this point. It
Is well that I arrived when I did."
"But why did you do it?" I nuked, puz
zled at this show of friendship on the part
of a man of nnother world nnd a different
race and color.
"You saved my life," he replied.
"From that moment It became my duty to
pvotect and befriend you. I would havo
been no true Mezop had I evaded my plain
duty; but It was n pleasure In this In
stance, for I like you.

She invited the butterflies "Sftj roses.
Then Fall gave a party. Ha was very
cruel, for he chased all the pretty leaves.
Winter was the last, and he made up

I told him about Terry then nnd Dlnn
the ,Ueautlful. and how my duty was to
them first. Afterward I should return and
visit him If t ciuhl ever flmt his Islnnd.
Oh. that Is easy, my friend " ho said

nircctly opposite tho mouth nf the
river you will sec three large Islands far
out, so fnr that they aro barely discern
ible, the one to the extreme left ns you
fnco them from the mouth of tho river
Is Anoroc, where I rule the tribe of Ano
roc." "But how nm I to find the Mountains ot
tho Clouds?" t asked.
"Men say that they arc vlslblo from
half of I'ollucldar," he replied.
"How largo Is I'elluclder?" I nsked.
wondering what sort ot theory these
primitive men had concerning tho form
and r.ubptnnee of their world.
"The Militant snv It is round. Ilko the
Itmide of a trla shell." he answred ; "but
that Is ridiculous, since, were It true, we
piiouki laii uacK wero wo to travel far
In any direction, and all the wnler of
J'ellucldar would run to one spot and
drown us.
".Vo. I'ollucldar Is quite flat, and ex
tendi no man knows how far In nil di
rections At the edges, so my ancestors
hao reported nnd handed down to me, Is
n great wall that prevents the land and
waters from escaping over Into tho burn
ing sea whereon I'ollucldar floats; but I
have never been so fnr from Anoroc ns to
have seen this wall with my own eyes.
"However, It la qulto reasonable to be
lieve that this Is true, whereas there Is
no irasoti nt nil In tho foolish belief of
tho Mnhars. According to them. I'ellu
cidailntiH who live upon tho opposite side
walk always with their heads pointed
downward '." And Ja laughed uproari
ously at tho very thought.
It was plain to see that tho humans of
this Inner world had not advanced fnr
in learning nm' tho thought that the ugly
Mnhars had so outi tripped them was very
pathetic Indeed. 1 wondered how many
ages It would tako to lift these peoplu out
of their Ignorance, even wero It given to
I'ctry and me to attempt It.
I'osslbly wo would bo killed for our
pains us wero those men of the outer
world who dared challenge the dense Igno
rance and superstition of the earth's
younger ilaya. Hut It was worth tho ef
fort if tho opportunity ever presented
Itself.
And then It occurred to me that here
was an opportunity that I might make a
small beginning upon Jn, who was my
friend, and thus note the effect of my
teaching upon a Pellucldarlan.
"Ja," I said "what would you say wero
I to tell you thnt In so far as the Mahars'
theory of the shape of I'ellucidar Is con
cerned It Is correct?"
"I would say," ho replied, "that cither
you were a fool or took mo for one."
"But, Ja," I Insisted, "if their theory Is
Incorrect, how do you account for the fact
that I was able to pass through the earth
from the outer crust to I'ollucldar? If
your theory Is correct all Is n sea of llame
beneath us, wherein no peoples could exist,
nnd yet I como from a great world that
Is covered with human beings and beasts

lucldar, and walk always with you head
pointed downward?" he scoffed. "And
wero I to believe that, my friend, I should
indeed be mad."
I attempted to explain the forco of
gravity to him, and by means of the drop
ped fruit to illustrate how Imposslblo It
would be for a body to fall off the earth
under nny clrcumstnnccs.
Ho listened bo Intently that I thought
I had made an Imprenlson and started tho
train of thought that would lead him to
a partial understanding of tho truth. But
I was mistaken.
"Your own Illustration," he said finally,
"proves the falsity of your theory."
Ho dropped a fruit from his hand to
the ground
"See," ho said, "without support even
this tiny fruit falls Until It strikes some
thing that stops It. If Pellucldar wero
not supported upon tho naming sea It, too,
would fall as the fruit falls you have
proved It yourself!"
Ho had me that time; you could seo It
In his cje.
It seemed n hopeless Job, nnd I gave It
up. temporarily, at least, for when I con
tenmlatrd llin iioceKsnrv explanation ot
our nolnr ayHtcm nnd tho universe, I re
alized how futile It would be to attempt
to plctuie to Jn or any other Pelluclda
rlan the sun, the moon, the planets and
the countless stars. Those born within
the Inner world could no moro conceive ot
such things than can wo of the outer crust
reduce to factors appreciable to our finite
minds such terms as space and eternity.
"Well, Ja." I laughed, "whether we
be with our feel up or down, here wo are,
and the question of greatest Importance
Is not so much where wo came from ns
where wo nre going now.
"For my part I wlih that you could
guide me to Phutrn, uhero I may give
myself up to tho Mnhnrs onco more, that
my friends nnd I may work out the plan
nf cscnpe which the Sagoths interrupted
when they gathered us together and drove
us to tho arena to witness the punishment
of the Blaves who killed tho guardsman.
"I wish now that I had not loft the
arena, for by this time my friends and
I might havo made good our escape,
whereas this delay may mean the
wrecking of all our plans, which depend
ed for their consummation upon the con
tinued sleep of tho three Mnhars who lay
In tho pit beneath tho building In which
wo were confined,"
"You would return to captivity?" cried
Ja In nstonlihment.
"My friends aro there," I replied "the
only friends I havo in Pellucldar except
yourself. What elso may I do under tho
circumstances? '
Ho thought for a moment in silence.
Then ho shook his head sorrowfully.
"It Is uhnt a brave man nnd a good
friend should do," ho said. "Yet It
seems most foolish, for tho Mnhars will
certainly condemn you to denth for run
ning away, and so you will bo accomplish
ing nothing for your friends by returning.
"Never In nil my llfo have I heard of
a piisoner returning to the Mahars of his
ovn free will. There niv but few who
escape them, though some do, nnd these
would rather dlo than bo recaptured."
I see no other way, Jn," I said, "though
I can assure you that 1 would rather go
to Sheol after Perry than to Philtra.
However, Perry Is much too pious to
make tho probability at all great that I
shall ever be called upon to rescue him
from tho former locality."
Ja asked mo what Sheol wns. and when
I explained ns best I could, ho said: "You
are speaking of Molop Az, the flaming
sea upon which I'ellucidar iloats. All tho
dead who are burled In tho ground go
there.
"Plcco by piece they aro carried down
to Molop Az by tho llttlo demons, who
dwell there. We know this because when
graves aro opened we find that the bodies
have been partially or entirely borno otf.
"That Is why we of Anoroc placo our
dead In high trees where tho birds may
find them nnd bear them bit by bit to
the Dead World above, tho land ot Awful
Shadow, if wo kill an enemy we place
his body in tho ground that It may go
to Molop Az."
As wo talked we had been walking up
tho canyon down which I had come to the
great ocean and the slthlc. Ja did his
best to dissuade mo from returning to
Phutrn, but when ho saw that I had de
termined to do so ho consented to guide
mo to a point from which I could see
tho plain of Phutra.
To my surprise tho distance was but
short from tho beach where I had again
met Ja. It was evident that I had spent
much tlmo following the windings of a
tortuous canyon, whllo Just beyond tho
ridge lay the city of Phutra near to which
I must have come several times.
As wo topped tho ridge nnd saw the
granlto gate towers dotting the flowered
plain nt our feet Ja made a final effort
to pcrsuado me to abandon my mnd pur
pose and return with him to Anoroc, but
I was firm In my resolve, and at last
ho bid me good-by, assured In his own
mind thnt he was looking upon mo for
the last time. I wonder If ho was right !
I wns sorry to part with him, for I
had como to Ilko him very much Indeed.
With his hidden city upon the Island of
Anoroc as a base, and hla savage war
riors as escort. Perry and I could havo
accomplished much In tho line of explora
tion, nnd I hoped that wero we successful
In our effort to cscnpo wo might return
to Anoroc later.
Thero was, however, one great thing to
bo accomplished first at least It was the
great thing to me tho finding of Dlan
the Beautiful.
I wanted to make amends for the af
front I had put upon her In my Igno
rance, nnd I wanted to-r Well, I wanted
to seo her again, nnd to be with her.
Down the hillside I made my way Into
the gorgeous field of flowers, and then
ncross tho rolling land toward tho shad
owless columns thnt guard tho ways to
burled Phutra. At a quarter mile from
the nearest entrance I was discovered by
the Sagoth guard, and In an Instant four
of the gorilla-like men wero dashing
toward me.

SCHOOL OF EFFICIENCY
TRAINS WORKING GIRLS
Dressmaking, Millinery and
Other Courses Help Them Get

When tl? women of the Emergency Aid
took it upon themselves to Instinct tho
young girls who wero "laid off" Inst win
ter on account of the slack season In the
big business hntiies. Miss Helen Flclsher
got nn Idea She went direct to the em
ployers of these girls and nsked why they
were discharged.
"Because they are Inefficient," one an
swered. "When the time comei to choose
nniong my employes, the ones who are In
efficient are tho first ones to go. A girl
who knows her work thoroughly Is never
without a Job."
The icsiilt of Mill conversation wns a
class In dressmaking and millinery which
lasted all through the winter months, and
not one of the 11!) girts who learned their
tiadc In this class has been out of n lob
since.
Continuing thli policy, nnd in response
to the populnt .lem.'tnd for competent
workers, the School of nmclency, nt 41B
South nth stieet, was started It Is a
uniall place, and the classes are small
The Instruction Is. therefore, Individual,
and the girls are made to feel that the In
terest which Is shown In their work and
their futuro Is to bring about practical
results.
tint- llnor of the school Is devoted to
dressmaking. Mrs. Carolyn Mack, the In
structor, can show with prldo a book In
which llnoly worked samples of every
branch of the sewing art darning, shir
ring, smocking, faggoting, hand tucking,
nilterlng, bins-folding was nently pnRted.
"The glili lovo their work," shu said.
"They mine In nt 9 and work until C.
The materials are supplied by the com
mittee In charge, t am very proud of
what they have done, considering thnt wo
only started on tho 10th or January. When
we have finished we anticipate no diffi
culty In placing tho girls, because they
will be thoroughly capable, not to become
factory hands, as many girls of this class
aro unfortunately forced to become, but
flrst-clnss dressmaker's helpers."
One look at tho eager, bilght-eyed stu
dents Is evidence that Mrs. Mack Is right.
The walls aro lined with Interesting sam
ples of work, each with n girl's name
tacked In tho corner.
On tho third llnor thn millinery school
Is In session. Tho course Malts with
scams, folds and fancy facings and bind
ings nnd coverings and other things which
are as unknown to the aeiage woman as
tho workings of tho X-ray machine. The
student is nllnwcd a wide latitude In the
choice of shape. She makes her own
frame of soft wire, nnd learns to cover,
lino and film It under the watchful eyes
of the Misses Phillips.
Frcncli roso making Is nlso nnother
branch of Instruction. Tho flowers which
ono buys for corsage or hat ornaments
cost from J1.G0 up They are imported,
nnd they bring down Imported prices. Now
these girls were told to copy an Imported
rose brought In by Miss Flclsher, who,
with Mls Orotchcn Clay and Miss Mary
Mitchell. Is In chargo (if tho school. The
result was nstoundlng. When tho two were
put together tho difference In workmnn
shlp between tho copy and tho original
was not discernible.
"Our whole aim Is to give tho girl n
fighting chance," was tho way Miss Flelsh
er summed up tho purposo of tho school.
"I believe that to get results, tho classes
must be small, nnd tho girls must get tho
pel sona! attention, tho Individual consid
eration, which Is tho keynoto of successful
Instruction.
"Unskilled labor Is paid sometimes J2.C0
a week, sometimes more. That Is all theso
girls would get If they worked for 10
years, probably. But when they know a
trade their worth Is greater, naturally
both to themselves and their employers.
So wo aro all enthusiastic about tho plan
and are prepared to start a class In any
thing tho girls want, ,lt there aro 10 of
them.
"Covering lampshades, boxmaklng and
any of the trades which aren't nlready
overcrowded wo are willing to consider.
Continuation classes, in compliance with
the law, h'avo been established. In this
way wo co-operate with the schools. Tho
fact that thero Is absolutely no charge of
any kind, for lunch, materials. Instruction
or schooling. Is our chief drawing card.
I only hope thnt wo can branch out Into
a larger organization and can meet the
demand for workers in every trade in
which women are employed."
HOTELS HARD HIT BY LENTEN
SOBRIETY OF SOCIETY FOLK
Dansants, Teas and "Affairs" Now
Suspended After Rush Season
This Is a drab day In tho hotels. It Is
unusual, but It happens every year and
at Just about this tlmo
Today Is the anticlimax to n season
which has surpassed any before, so far as
hotels aro concerned. Moro social affairs
and of greater brilliancy havo been held
this season than nny In the memory of
the oldest hotel mnn. Luncheons, tens,
dinners nnd debutante dances succeeded
each other In a round of gaiety which
continued for months. Tho hotels wero
neer so crowded, this being largely
caused by the war, according to tho man
agers. The Bellevue-Strntford, the Rltz-Carl-ton,
the Walton, tho Adelphla nnd Rltten
house, not to mention many others which
do not specialize so much on "affairs,"
have been taxed almost to capacity dur
ing last few weeks to take care of the
parties which society folk wedged In be
fore the Lonten season.
