fiMiiously I fell to work upon tho

SlltW simple. A child might have

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.

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

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.

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

I thought of a beautiful ovnl face, gaz

red, red lips, rlod-made for kissing.
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.
H scents escape, and rather than be
thwurted of our chanco now I told him
that I would bring him to you nnd let

HOUSEHOLD PHYSICS
. 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."

rubbing in faithfully; throw light cloths
over tho floor to excludo the dust while, the
oil Is drying. When the floor Is perfectly
dry (which should bo In three hours In
fair weather), polish with a block of wood
covered with several thickness of chamois
skin and fastened to n broom handle, so
you wll not have to stoop to do the pol
ishing. Hrnn Dread

MOTHERS OF BOYS
Dear Children One of tho mo3t interesting persons in the world is
the mother of a boy.
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.
What do you think about it? PARMER SMITH,
Children's Editor, Evening Ledger.
writes a sweet little note of complaint,
will you forglvo your editor, too, nnd
try to remember that he Is doing his very
best to please everybody? Amelia Scheel,
Leithgow street, reads tho Kvbnino
Ledoek nearly every night, and we hope
this Is one of tho nights, because It isn't
much fun to talk to people when they'ro
not listening to you. John Ilogan and
Joseph Connolly, of North 19th street,
made a good beginning the first day of
their membership by writing a very clever
story.

A LITTLE JOURNEY TO HOSKINS
By FARMER SMITH
MY DEAR CHILDREN:
The other night as I went up Chestnut Street about half-past
well never mind what time it was I peeked into tho window
of HOSKINS, and what do you think? 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."
"All right, all right," said the Hoskinsman; "I'll leave it to you,"
And so, dear children, I promise you honest injun cross my
heart; that as- soon as your letters have reached the Hoskinsman
at HOSKINS, 904-906 Chestnut Street, in the good City ot PWla"
delphia. we will go to work selecting the suggestion or design for
our Rainbow Stationery, so that when you wrjte to your Editor or
JfJ, V,1'0 w.!llle "cross the street, or Jermjmah Petticone out in
"Californy," you can use OUR Stationery, and won't it be a great
honor to have Your name appear in tho Eyenino Ledgek as being
the Member whose design or suggestion has been selected?
If you cannot draw, just simply state what you want our
stationery to look like.
Now let's all get together and give the Hoskinsman one great
big surprise, because he has been awful kind to do this for us.
Isn't he a dear? T
