UNDER THE MOONS OF MARS
BY EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
CHAPTER X Continued
I HAD never petted nor fondled him, but
now I sat upon the ground, nnd putting
my arm round Ills heavy neck I stroked
nnd coaxed him, talklnR In my newly ac
quired Martian tongue an t would have to
my hound at home, ns I would have United
to any other friend among the lower
animal.
Ills response to my manifestation of af
fection was remarkable to a degree; ho
Stretched his great mouth to It full
width, baring the entire cxpanio of hli
upper row a of tusks nnd wrinkling his
snout until hit great eyes wcro nlmo3t
hidden by the folds of JleMi.
If you have ever seen n colllo smile you
may hae a faint conception of Woola's
facial distortion.
He threw himself upon his back and
fairly wallowed at my feet; Jumped up
nnd sprang upon me, rolling me upon
the ground by his great weight, then wrlg
gllng nnd squirming round mu like a play
ful puppy presenting Its back for the pet
ting It craves
I could not resist the ludlcrousncss of
the spectacle, and holding my sides I
rocked back and forth In the first
laughter which had passed my lips In
many days
My laughter frightened Wooln, his
antics censed and he crnwlcd pitifully
toward me, poking his ugly head Into
my lap and then I icinemhercd what
laughter signified on MarB torture, suf
fering, death
Quieting myself, I rubbed the poor old
fellow's head nnd back, talked to him
for n few minutes, nnd then In nn nit
thorltatlvc tone commanded him to fol
low me, nnd, rising, stnrted for the hills
There was no further question of "u
thorlty between us; Woola was my de
voted slao from that moment hence, and
I his only nnd undisputed master. My
walk 'occupied but a few minutes, nnd I
found nothing of particular Interest to re
ward me.
Numerous brilliantly colored and
strangely formed wild flowers dotted the
ravines, nnd from tho summit of the flrnt
hill I saw still other hills stretching off
toward the north, nnd rising, one range
nbovo another, until lost In mountains of
quite respectable dimensions, though I aft
' erward found that only n few penkH on all
Mars exceed four thousand feet In height ;
the suggestion of magnltudo was merely
relative.
My morning's wnlk had been large with
Importance to me, for it had resulted In u
perfect understanding with Woola, upon
whom Tars Tnrkas rolled for my safe
keeping. I now knew that whlio theo
retically a prisoner I was lrtunlly free,
and I hastened to regain the city limits
before tho defection of Woola could bo
discovered by his erstwhile masters.
Tho adventuro decided me novcr ngaln
to leave tho limits of my prescribed
stamping grounds until I wn.s ready to
venture forth for good nnd all, ns it would
certainly result In n curtailment of my
liberties, ns well as the probable dentil
of Woola, were wo to be dlseocred.
On regaining tho plaza I had my third
glimpse of the cnptlc girl
She was htnndlng with her guards be
fore tho entrance to tho nudlcnco cham
ber, and as I npproached she gave mo one
haughty glance and turned her back full
upon me.
Tho act was so womanly, so earthly
vrannly, that though It stung my prld"
It also warmed my heart with a feeling of
companionship It w.is good to know
that some one else on Mara beside my
self had human Instincts of it clvlllz-cl
order, even though the manifestation of
them vns so painful and mortifying.
Had a green Martian woman deMred to
show dislike, or contempt she would, In all
likelihood, have done It with n Hword
thrust or a movement of her trigger

FARMER SMITH'S ftfcP) RAINBOW CLUB
THE RAINBOW DIARY
Dear Children I have been reading lately about Benjamin Franklin,
who did more to promote thrift in this country than any other man. Ever
since the first days of our club we have talked of industry. Lot us, as mem
bers of Farmer Smith's Rainbow Club, start an era of thrift and prosperity.
One great thing which Benjamin Franklin did was to have a system with
which to check up himself each day and it seems to me that it would be a
good plan for our members to get up a system which we can all use. I
suggest the following:
Sun. Mon. Tucs. I Wed. Thurs. Fri. Sat.
Kindness ...
Mistakes ...
Money
received . .
Money spent
wisely ....
Money spent
foolishly ..
' ' ' ' ' ' .
You will notice from this that you can keep track of each day and of
what kindnesses you have done, and also your mistakes. If you can suggest
a better word than MISTAKE, let me know. Please try to see that the
number of your kindnesses gets greater, your mistakes smaller; the amount
of money you receive should always grow larger and your good judgment
should stand guard over what you spend, while the amount you waste, I hope,
will constantly shrink.
Before wo finally agree upon this idea, I hope you will write and tell
me what you think of it; and if there are any suggestions, send them in, so
that we may have this standard approved by all of our members.
Yours with love and kindness,
FARMER SMITH,
Children's Editor, Evening Ledger.

finger; but as their sentiments nre mostly
atrophied It would have required a serious
Injury to have aroused such passions In
them.
Sola, let me ndd, was nn exception I
never havo seen her perform a cruel or
Uncouth net, or fall In uniform kindliness
nnd good nature She wns. Indeed, ns her
fellow Mnrtlan hnd iltl of her, an atav
ism a dear nnd precious roxerslon to
n former type of loed nnd loving an
cestor Seeing that the prisoner seemed the
centre of attraction I halted to witness
what wbb taking place
I had not long to wait, for presently
Iorquns "tomcl nnd his retinue of chief
tains appronched the building nnd, signing
the guards to follow with the prisoner,
entered the nudlcnco chamber
Hcatlzlng that I was n somewhat fav
ored character, and also convinced that
the warrlcrsdld not know of my knowledge
of their language, an I had pleaded with
Sola to keep this n secret on the grounds
that I did not wish to be forced to talk
with the men until I hnd perfectly mas
tercd the Martian tongue, I chnnccd -in
nttempt to enter the, audience chamber
nnd listen to the proceedings
Tho council squatted upon the steps of
the rostrum, while below them stood the
prisoner nnd her guards I saw that one
of the women wns Sarkojn. and thus un
derstood how sho had been present at the
hearing of the preceding dny, tho results
of which she had reported to the occu
pants of our dormitory last night.
Her nttttude toward tho captive was
most hnrsh and brutnl When sho held her
she sink her rudimentary nails Into the
poor girl's flesh, or twisted her nrm In
a most pnlnful maimer When It was neces
sary to niovo from ono spot to nnother sho
cither Jerked her roughly, or pushed her
headlong before her
Sho seemed to be venting upon this
poor defenseless crcaturo all tho hatred,
cruelty, ferocity, and splto of her 900
years, "backed by uiiguesrable ages of
fierce nnd brutal ancestors
The other woman was less cruel because
she was entirely Indifferent; If tho pris
oner hnd been left to her alone, and for
tunately sho wns at night, she would have
received no harsh treatment, nor, by tho
name token, would sho have' received any
attention at nil.
As I.orquas Ptomcl raised his cjes to
address tho prisoner they fell on me and
he turned to Tnrs Tarkas with a word nnd
gesturo of Impatience. Tnrs Tnrkas made
some reply which I tould not catch, but
which caused Lorquas Ptomcl to smile;
after which they paid no further attention
to mo.
"What Is your name?" asked I.orquas
Ptomcl, addressing tho prisoner.
"Dejah Thorls, daughter of Mors Kajak
of Helium "
"And tho naturo of jour expedition?"
he continued.
"It was a purely scientific research
pnrty sent out by my father's father, tho
.leddak of Helium, to rochart the air cur
rents and to tako atmospheric density
tests," replied the fnlr prisoner In n low,
well-modulated voice
"We were unprepared for battle," sho
continued, "as we were on n peaceful mis
sion, ns our banners nnd the colors of our
crnft denoted The work wo were doing
was ns much In your interest as In ours,
for you know full v ell that were it not for
our labors and tho fruits of our scientific
operations there would not be enough air
or water on Mars to support n slngh

"For nges we have maintained tho sup
ply of both at virtually tho same point
without nn appreciable loss, and wo havo
dono this In the face of the brutal and Ig
norant interference of you green men.

Lorquas Ptomel nnd the warriors sat
looking pilentl and Intently nt the young
woman for several moments after she had
ceased speaking What was passing In
their minds no mnn may know, but thnt
they were moved I truly txMlcio, and If
ono man high among them had been
strong enough to rise nbovo custom, thnt
moment would hnve marked a new and
mighty era for Mars
I saw Tars Tarkas rlso to speak, and
on his fnco was such an expression as I
had never seen upon the countenance of a
green Mnrtlan warrior It bespoke an In
ward nnd mighty battlo with self, with
heredity, with age-old custom, nnd as he
opened his mouth to spenk n look almost
of benignity, of kindliness, momentarily
lighted up his fierce nnd terrible counte
nnncc. What words of moment were to hnve
fallen from his lips were never spoken, ns
Just then a young wnrrior, evidently
sensing the trend of thought nmong tho
older men, leaped down from the steps of
tho rostium, nnd striking the frail captive
n powerful blow across tho face, which
felled her to tho floor, placed his foot upon
her prostrnto form, nnd turning townrd
the assembled council broke Into peals of
horrid, mlrthltss laughter
For nn Instnnt 1 thought Tnrs Tnrkns
would Htrlke him dend. nor did the nspect
of torqu.i.s Ptomcl augur any too favor
ably for the brute, but the mood passed,
their old selves reasserted their ascend
ency, and they smiled
It was portentous, however, thnt they
did not laugh aloud, for tho brute's act
constituted a slde-spllttlng witticism ac
cording to the ethics which rule green
Martian humor
I think I must hnve sensed something
of what was coming, for I realize now
that I was crouched as for a spring, as I
saw tho blow aimed nt her beautiful, up
turned, plendlng face, and ere the hand
descended I was half wny ucriiss the hall.
Scarcely had his hideous laugh rang out
but once when I was upon him Tho brute
was 12 feet In height and armed to tho
teeth, but 1 believe that I could have ac
counted foi the whole room full in the tor
ilflc Intensity of my rage.
I struck him full In the fnce ns he
turned at my wanting cr, nnd then, ns he
drew his short-sword, t drew initio nnd
sprang In upon his brenst. hooking one leg
over tho butt of his pistol, nnd grasping
one nf his liugo tusks with my left hand, 1
delivered blow after blow upon his enor
mous chest
Ho could not uso his short-sword to ad
vantage liecauso I was too close to him,
nor could lie dr.ivv his pistol, which he at
tempted to do In direct opposition to Mar
tian custom, which demands that ou may
not fight a fellow warrior in private com
bat with any other than the weapon with
which you arc attacked
In fact ho could do nothing but make a
wild and futile nttempt to diblodgo me.
With ail his Immense bulk ho was little if
any stronger than I, and It was but tho

Billy Bumpus and the Gnome
Billy Rumpus returned homo one aftef
noon nbout sunset. It vias the day he had
seen the Gnome and he vnnted to tell Mrs
Goat about the funny fellow doun In the
ground
".Mother." began Hilly, ns he tripped
over the dining room carpet and almost
spilled the lamp off the table, "Mother, I
saw a very uonderful thing today. It was
a Gnome."
"Did jou eat him, her or If" asked his
good wife.
"No," said her husband, as ho seated
himself by the fireside and began to snirf
"What are you going to hnvo for supper'
I think I smell tin can soup."
"Never mind about supper You gel
angry when I accuse you of being a pi?
and ct you are alwnjs talking about cit
ing," said Billy's wife "Go on and tell
me about tho Gnome "
"I don't know what a Gnome Is," an
swered Billy.
"Thank goodness!" exclaimed Mrs. Goat.
"There Is ONE thing a Billy Goat does
not know. You claim to know every
thing, to see everything and eat everv
thing. You are awfully smart."
"Remember I am your husband and
don't you speak disrespectfully of ME'"
"Well, smarty, my dear, nweet smarts,
husband, darling what Is a Gnome? I
will tell you."
"Gnomes live In the earth while
fairies live in the air and mermaids In
the sea,
"When any one has been very, very bad,
a Gnome comes out of the earth and
speaks to them."
' "What!" exclaimed Billy. Jumping out
of his chair, "I haven't been very, very
bad. What have I done?"
"It may have been the Gnome spoke to
you because you ate Mrs Tlilneerms.
doodle's clothesline, or because you ate
the tongue of little Willie Thlngermn
doodle's wagon. You have been very
talkative lately, from eating the tongue,
I guess and"
"Who told you all that about Gnomes?
Has one ever spoken to you?" asked Blllv.
quickly.
"Yes," answered Mrs. Goat, without
thinking
"Ha! ha! He! he! That's a good one!
Gnomes oh, meL Gnomes only speak to
very bad people. You said so yourself"
With that Billy got up and danced
around with a chair until a voice said
from uptsalrs:
"Don't make so much noise, Daddy, I
need my sleep." It was Nanny Goat
speaking,
Billy stopped and sniffed the air. "I
smell that tin can soup burning "
"Let t burn!" exclaimed Mrs. Goat.
Billy went Into the parlor singing:
"There was a little Gnome,
Who had a little home
Right In the middle of the for-rest!"

Another point In good form which may
do sam to come under the head of con
versation Is that of talking always of
one's own affairs.
There is one sort of person who never
sees beyond his limited vision and who
expects his nudlencc of one or more to
be as Interested In his purely domestic
and business concerns ns ho Is himself,
This kind of person continually corn
plains of the treatment he receives at the
hands of others; how his family does not
understand him. how cranky tho members
arc, that he never meets with proper con
sideration nt home or nbroad. and so on
ad nauseam If one suddenly stopped such
a person nnd said, "This Is against good
form; j-ou nro not acting ns a gentleman
should." he would be undoubtedly sur
prised He always dresses In the very
last word of fashion; he Is manicured and
massaged and Immaculate as lo linens:
he would never cut his salad with n knlfo
nor Hit his pinto In eating soup, no, In
deed, nnd yet. with all this polish, the
milk of human kindness In not In his
heart nnd he Is considered not only a.
bore, but 111 bred.

All Women
Are Just Alike !
Aren't they ? Isn't your figure exactly like
every other woman's figure? No?
Then why do you put yourself into a corset
that is precisely like a million other corsets
of that size?
It must be either because you don't realize
that your figure needs a certain individual
support and help ; or because you don't know
about Nemo Self-Help Wonderlift Corsets.
VVonderlift Corsets are the only corsets in
all the world that can instantly individualize
your finiirc. When you adjust the semi
elastic bandlet, you have made your figure
normal; your abdomen and internal organs

ttngraceful in every line, and that they
epitomize latest style,
fact.
The bin thing, though, is that the six
Wonderlift models (for every type of thin,
slender, medium, stout and super-stout
ivoman) give an individualized support which
itself produces perfect fashion-lines.
When adjusted and because of the adjust
menthardly two Wonderlift Corsets are
eocactlu alike.

FORM
Much of the success of the dance depends?
on the leader whd chooses the figure
designates how many shall dahen at fk
time, eld.
Any music may be played for a cotulort,
one step, waltz or fox trot, although In
the old-fashioned germans a waltz ,Vai
Alwaj-s the correct dahce.
As tho music begins, the leader cAtls
out the number of couples who are tcr
dance, Usually 1(J or 12; these TIM ahd
dnnce until he claps his hands, they then
separate nnd go fo tho table where the.
hostesses give out Hie favors, the trtftn
being given something npproprlato for a
gin ana vice versa.
Armed with n favor each, they go to
thoso who nre not dancing, nnd the girl
presents one of the men with a favor-,
nnd he dances with her, while the mnn
presents one to a girl who lit turn dArtcea
with him, This lime the dance Is some
fancy figure such ns "Cracking the Whip," J
"Lady's Chain," "Tandem," and iiUmer-
ous other figures, sometimes Invented- by
the leader himself After this he ctaps
his hnnds again nnd every ono returns
to his or her original partner, Then the 3
next 10 couples get up and no It goes on
Until nnother figure Is started Of course,
the girls judge their good time by the
number of favors received. It Is not nt
nil hard to do, as tho actual dancing part
Is like the usual dances.
A conventional evening frock, cut low at
tho neck and without a train.
