It was SlltW simple. A child might have ticked It, and a moment later I was free. Ime Mahars were now evidently com- tjttlnit their work ut tlie table, one nl wdrhil turned away nnd wnu exnmln W other victims, evidently with tho Inten tion of selecting the next mibject. Those at the table had their backs (ird me. But for the creature walking lottrd us I might lmvo escaped that Bbmtnt, 9 sinwlv the thing npproached me. when la attention was attracted Uy a huge tire chained a few yards to my right. iHcre the reptile stopped and commenced 'to' p over the poor dovll carefully, and 'u It did so, Its back turned toward mo for an Instant, and In that Instant 1 gavo ( mighty leaps that carried me out of ihi chamber Into tho corridor beyond. tJojm which I raced with nil the speed 1 CUUlu wiiiiii",.". Where I was or whither I was going I blew not. My only thought was to place 'u much distance an possible between mo ltd. that frightful chnmbcr of torture. SPresently I reduced my speed to a brisk walk, and later realizing tho lu li ter of .running Into somo new predica ment were I not careful, I moved inoro lowly and cautiously still. fAfter a time I camo to a passago that letmed In some mysterious way familiar to rae, and presently, chancing to glance irithln a chamber which led from tho cor ridor I eaw three Muhnra curled up In itumber upon a bed of skins. I could have abouteil aloud In joy and relief. It was the same corridor, nnd litre were the same Unbars that I had Intended to have lead so Important n rolo In our cscauo from Pbutra. Providence hid Indeed been kind to me, for the rep tiles still slept My ono great danger now lay In re turning to the upper levels in search of Perry and Obak. but there was nothing else to be done, so I hastened upward. when I came to tho frequented por- jtiotu of the building 1 found u largo bur den or skins In a corner, and these I lifted to my head, carrying them in tmch I way that ends and corners fell down tbouf my shoulders, completely hiding ajr face. Thus disguised, I found Perry led Ohak together In the chamber where ,ii had been wont to cat and sleep. IV Both were glad to see me, It Is need iest to say, though of course they had known nothing of the fato that had been Beted out to mo after my trial by tho judges. It was decided that no time should now to lost before attempting to put our plan lot escape to tno test, as 1 could not liopo W remain bidden from tho Sagoths long. For could I forever carry that halo of iiuu uuaui upon my neau wituout arous-ftuttusnlclon. MJJowever It seemed likely that It would jury me onco more safely through tho oowded passages and chambers of the toper levels, and so I set out with Perry 1ml Ohak tho stench of tho illy-cured Kits tairiy choking me. .Together wo repaired to tho first tier of CQrrldors beneath thn mnlii llnnp rr tlm building, p,nd hero Perry and Ghak halted M await me, ESTfso build nes arn nil nut nf tlm onll.l taestone formation.

Secret of this horrible race of Mahars, And on the bench beside the flasks lay tho skin-bound hook which held the only copy of the thing 1 was to havo sought, after dispatching the three Mahars In their sleep, Thero was no exit from the room other than the doorway In which I now stood facing tho two frightful reptiles. Cornered, 1 knew that they would tight like demons, nnd they were well equipped to fight If thoy were forced to fight. Together they launched themselves upon ine, and though I ran ono of them through tho heart on tho Instant, the other fastened us gleaming rnngs about my swoid arm above tho elbow, and then with her sharp talons commenced to rake me about tho body, evidently Intent upon disem boweling me, I saw that It wan useless to hope that I might rcleaso my arm from that powerful, vlsellko grip which seemed to be severing my nrm from my body. Tho pain I suffered was Intense, but It only served to spur me to greater efforts to overcome my antagonist. Hack nnd forth across tho floor we struggled the Muhar deallmr mn ten-inn. cutting blows with her forefeet, while I attempted to protect my body with my left hand, at tho same time watching for an opportunity to transfer my blade from my now useless sword hand to Its rapidly weakening mate. At last I was successful, and with what seemed to me my last ounce ot strength I ran the blndo through thu ugly body of my foe. Soundless, ns It had fought. It' died, nnd though weak from pain and loss of blood. It was with an emotion of tri umphant prldo that I (stepped across Its convulsively stiffening corpse to snatch up to the most potent secret of this hor rlblo world. A single glnnce told mo that (t tnllled to a nicety with Perry's description na he had rend It from the nnclcnt tccords of tho Mahars.

For on Inslnnt I stood thero thinking of Dlan the lleniitlful, nnd then, with a sigh. 1 tucked tho book In tho thong that supported my loin cloth, and turned to leave the apartment. At tho bottom of the corridor which leads aloft from tho lower chambers I whistled In nccordanco ulth thn nre- arrnnged signal which was to announce to Perry and (lliank that I had been suc cessful. A moment later they stood be side me, nnd to my surprise I saw that Hooja the Kly Ono accompanied them. "He Joined us," exclaimed Perry, "nnd would not be denied. Tho fellow Is a fox.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT Why Does an Electric Light Light? By VIRGINIA E. KIFT TO TIIK ayei'tige person It Is the great est mystery ns to what Is an electric light. It Is explained easily by the simplest law of electricity that heat Is produced when a current of electricity flowo through u wire, if tho wire has certain properties (I1I5I1 "resistance") nnd the pressure ot the electric fluid Is sufllclently high, the wire glows or be comes Incandescent. Energy can readily be changed from one form to another, and In the Incan descent lamps tho energy 'of electricity Is changed Into heat and light. In an electric lamp the wiro or lllamcnt Is 1 heated to a high temperature In order to raise It to a white heat. This white beat gives off an Intense light which wo know ns electric light. In the ordinary lamp the lllamcnt, or fine wire, Is made of carbon or tungsten. This Is Inclosed In a glass bulb from which all air has been extracted. If the bulb were filled with air the filament would Inst only a few minutes, while In a vacuum It will last about KW hours. Somo of tho newest Inmps are filled with a gas nitrogen which permits the fila ment to be heated to a very much higher temperature, thereby producing nn oven more Intense light, without burning out the lnmp. In the diagram, when the rocket (f) Is screwed Into the chaudollcr and the con nection Is made, the electric current flows through tho two wires In tho glass seal (d) to the filaments (b) sup ported by the glass stem (c). A vacuum Inclosed by the glass bulb nurroundfl tlm m: Ttf.GSTf lamp 11 lament. Klccirlo light, 1.1 in such common use today that wo ceaae to wonder nt its marvelous nature, but it Is Interesting to stop for a moment and consider why an electric light "lights."

Of course, other mothers aro more or less interesting, but there is always something wonderful and mysterious about a mother who has a boy. Wc say this because lately some of tho boys' mothers havo been kind enough to come aijd look into our clubroom and say very nice things about us. One of these dear mothers has been kind enough to give your editor an idea and it is this: She thinks it would be a good idea for tho boys who wear collars to mix with tho boys who do not wear collars. In other words, those boys who arc neatly dressed to minglo with some of our boys who aro not so nicely dressed. Your editor docs not believe in calling any child poor. Unfortunntely, there is no way to discriminate between the boy who has a penny and another who has an automobile unless we describe one as wealthy and tho other poor. One of my boys has said that a poor boy is one whoso father is out of work. In after life you will mingle with all sort3 and conditions of people. If your father has a large factory and leaves it to you, the great problem of employing some one to work for you will come up and no man can manage other men unless he knows what tho other men are doing. Neither can a littlo girl, when she grows up, manage a cook unless she is a good cool; herself. Of course, wo know that each mother thinks that her boy is the dearest, sweetest, cutest little crcaturo that ever lived, and she wants to shield him from any harm, but most of us have, sooner or later, to strike tho rough places in life and have our noses punched occasionally, and it seems to your editor that it would be a good idea to start early on this experience of bucking up against tho world and not wait until we aro grown up.

Ono of the little paper figures bowed to me just that-a-way, seo? You can give your head a jerk to seo how tho paper figure did it. As I looked in the windows and saw the pencils; and pads of paper, and books and the dainty little things for children's desks, an idea camo to me. I do not know whether it came down with a anowflake or merely camo as a message with the wind, but the idea was this: That we should havo some Rainbow Club Stationery and Cards and littlo paper things and pencils and pens and ink bottles, and oh! just lots of things for our Club. That night I lay awake just G9 minutes thinking about it, and I just could not go to sleep. I felt tho next day that I should go right down to HOSKINS and have them make some Rainbow Stationery. Tho moment I thought of this it seemed to mo that my idea was all wrong, because wo have never done anything without asking our dear Members, but I will toll you what I did do. I went right through the beautiful store all filled with things that children love so dearly, and lots and lots of things for grownups, and I marched real bravely right up to tho Hoskinsman's Office, and I said to him: "What a beautiful store you have. This must be the Children's Paradise; there are such lots and lots of things that children love." He said: "What a beautiful idea. I never thought of that. I always wanted a name for our store, and we love to have the chil dren come in." And ho said: "What can I do for you?" I replied that I was looking in the window of his storo and saw tho littlo paper figures and the stationery and pencils and pens und other things, but I didn't seo nny Rainbow Stationery, and I thought we ought to have somo Rainbow Stationery. "A capital idea!" exclaimed tho Hoskinsmnn. "Mercy ,me!" exclaimed tho Hoskinsmnn again, "are you the man who talk3 to 27,000 littlo children at once?" I replietl that I was, and I think ray face got as red as a beet, because I looked at one of the red calendars on the wall, and it looked like tho way my face felt. "Why, of course," said the Hoskinsman; "we will be only too glad to make Rainbow Stationery for you. We will get our artist to have a design made for you," "No, you won't," said I, real bravo like. "All tho children have to be consulted. We never do anything without our Members' consent, and if you wish to make them somo stationery, we will have to ask them to submit designs for Rainbow Paper and Envelopes and also for little Cards." "Ahem, ahem!" went tho Hoskinsman. "I never heard of such a thing. You mean to tell mo that you havo to nsk all those littlo angels before you do anything?" "Do not misunderstand me," I said. "The Club belongs to the children, not to me," "Oh!" he said, "very well; what is it you wish me to do?" "I think it would be a good idea for you to put the announce ment right on the page with our Club news and tell tho children that you aro going to make our stationery for us, and they should write letters to you telling you what they think our Rainbow Stationery should be and also draw you samples of what they would like." "Will I get many letters?" asked the Hoskinsman in surprise. "You just wait and see," said I proudly; for only that morning I had received 66 letters, and "besides," I added, "it's lots of fun to open children's letters."
