"Your position Is peculiar. You aro a

"And now you aro 'reported to have

"As a matter of Justice I must warn

EASTER FLOWERS
Dear Children This is the season of flowers and wc must not bo selfish
with them. If you wish to do a little kindness each and every day, you
may do so if you will PLAN how you can make just ONE person happy at
this JOYOUS EASTER SEASON
Think of some little child who cannot go out these glorious spring days
and send him (or her) some flowers or even a postal enrd. We print today a
list of hospitals and suggest that you follow the directions we give.
We have nearly 60,000 members, and how happy the grown-ups will bo
when they can write to their friends in distant cities and say, "Fifty thou
sand children in OUR city sent flowers nnd postal cards to the children in
tho hospitals."
Oh, it is wonderful to bo remembered! To think thnt outside tho hos
pital or sick room SOME ONE is thinking of us. Learn at Easter time this
ono lesson:
IT IS THOSE WE DO FOR
AND NOT THOSE WHO DO FOR
US WE LOVE THE MOST.
Whilo you nre young, learn the great lesson of loving, and remember
that you must GIVE in order to GET.
Perhaps the child in tho hospital will never see you or know you, but
somewhere, sometime, the kindness will como back to you with interest
MORE THAN A BANK CAN GIVE.
MAKE THIS THE GLADDEST AND MOST JOYOUS EASTER
PHILADELPHIA HAS EVER KNOWN. .
If you can't think of any one, just feed somo new lettuce to the canary,
or tie a ribbon around Towser's neck, or give kittie the top of he milk for
once. Ask your father how he likes your new dress or tho part in your hair
and help mother by doing just ONE thing for her you have never done
before. FARMER SMITH,

had renched tho cars of Lorquaa 1'tomel
so quickly, and now I lecalled thoio por
tions of our conversation which had touch
ed upon escape and upon my origin.
Barkoja was nt this time Tnrs Tarkas'o
oldest and most trusted female. As such
sho was n mighty power behind the throne,
for no warrior had tho confidence of I,or
quna I'tomel to such nn extent na did his
ablest lieutenant, Tara Tarkas.
Instead, however, of putting thoughts ot
possible escape front my mind, my audi
ence with Lorquaa I'tomel only served to
centre my every faculty on this subject.
Now. more than before the absoluto neces
sity for escape, In so far an Oejah Thorla
waa concerned, wns Impressed upon me,
for I waa convinced that some horrible
fate awaited her at tho headquarters of
Tal Jtajua
Aa described by Rota, this monster was
the exaggerated personification of nil tho
ngea of cruelty, ferocity, and brutality
from which he had descended.
Cold, cunning, calculating, ho was, also,
In mnrked contrast to most of his follows,
a slave to brute passion.
Tho thought thnt the divine Dejah Thor
la might fall Intu the clutbhca of such
an abysmal atavism started tho cold sweat
upon me. K.ir better that we save n friend
ly bullet for out solves for tho last moment,
na did those bravo frontier women ot my
lost land, who took their own lives rather
than fall Into tho hands of tho Indian
braves.
As I wandered nbout tho plaza lost In
my gloomy forebodings, Tara Torkaa ap
proached mo on his way from the audience
chamber. Ills demeanor toward mo waa
unchanged, nnd ho greeted mo as though
wo had not Just parted n few momenta
before.
"Wlicro are your quartcra, John Tnr
tcr?" ho naked.
"I have selected none," I replied. "It
seemed best that t quartered either by my
self or among tho other warrlora, and I
wns awaiting nn opportunity to nsk your
advice. Aa you know," and I smiled, "I
nm not yet fnmlllnr with all tho customs
of tho Tharka."
"Como with me," ho directed, and to
gether wo moved oft across tho pln7a to a
building which adjoined that occupied by
Sola and her charges.
"My quarters aro on the first floor of
this building," ho said. "Tho second floor
also Is fully occupied by warriors, but tho
third floor and the floors above nre vacant.
You may tako your choice of these.
"I understand," ho continued, "that you
have given up your woman to the red pris
oner. AVell, na you have said, your ways
are not our ways, but you can light well
enough to do about us you please. Thus,
If you wish to glvo jour woman to a
captive. It Is your own affair.
"As a chlcftnln, however, you should
have thoso to servo you, and In nccordanco
with our customs you may select any or
nil the females from the retinues of tho
chieftains whoso metal you now wear."
I thanked him. but nssurcd him that I
could get along very nicely without assist
ance, except In tho matter of preparing
food, and so he promised to send women
to me for this purposo and also for tho
caro of my arms and tho manufacture of
my ammunition, which he s.iid would bo
necessary.
I suggested that they might also bring
some of the sleeping silks nnd furs which
belonged to mo na spoils ot combat, for
tho nights were cold, and I had none of
my own.
He promised to do so, nnd departed.
Left alone, I ascended the winding corri
dor to the upper lloors In search of suit
able quarters. Tho beauties of tho other
buildings wcro repeated In this, una, us
usual, I was soon lost In a tour of Invcstl-
gntlon and discovery.

I finally chose a rrbnt room on tho third
floor, becnuso this brought mo nearer to
Dcjnh Thorls, who was quartered on tho
second floor of tho ndjolnlng building.
Near my sleeping room woro baths,
dressing rooms, and other sleeping nnd
living apartments, In all, some dozen
rooms.
Tho windows In tho rear overlooked nn
enormous court, which formed tho centro
of tho square made by tho buildings which
faced tho four contiguous streets, nnd
which wns now given over to tho quarter
ing of tho vnrlous nnlmals belonging to
tho warriors occupying tho adjoining
bulldlngsy
While Jhe court wna entirely overgrown
with thei-ellow moss-llko vegetntlon which
blnukcts'lvlrtually tho entire surfaco of
Mars, yci numerous fountains, statuary,
benches olid pergoln-llko constructions boro
witness to tho beauty which tho court
must have presented In bygone times, when
graced by the falr-halred, laughing people
whom stern nnd unnltcrnblo cosmlo laws
hnd driven not only from their homes, but
from nil oxrept tho vnguo legends of their
descendant?
one could easllv picture 'tho gorgeous
follngo of the luxuriant Martian vegetn
tlon which onco filled this scene with llfo
nnd color, the graceful figures of tho beau
tiful women, tho straight nnd handsome
men. tho happy frolicking children all
sunlight, happlnesa nnd peace.
It wns dtmcult to rcallzo thnt they hnd
gone dow'n through ngea of darkness,
cruelty nnd Ignorance, until their heredi
tary Instincts of culture nnd humanitarian
Ism had risen ascendent onco more In tho
final composllo race which now nro domi
nant upon Mars.
My thoughts woro cut short by tho nd-
eiit of several young femnlea bearing
loads of weapons, silks, furs, Jewels, cook
ing utensils, nnd casks of food and drink,
Including considerable loot from the air
craft. All this. It seemed, hail been tho
property of the two chieftains I had slain,
and now, by the customs of tho Tharka, It
had become mine.
At my direction they placed tho stuff In
ono ot tho back rooms, and thon departed,
only to return with a second, load, which
they advised mo constituted tho batanco of
my goods. On tho second trip they wcro
accompanied by ten or 15 othor women
and youths, who, It seemed, formed tho
retinues of the two chieftains.
They were not their families nor their
w'lves, nor their servants; tho relationship
wiih peculiar, and ho uullko anything
known to ua that It Is most difficult to
describe. All property among tho green
Martians Is owned In common by tho
community, except tho personal weapons,
ornaments, nnd sleeping silks nnd furs of
tho Indlvldunls.
These nlono can ono claim undisputed
right to, nor may he accumulate more of
theso than are required for his actual
needs. The surplus ho holds merely as
custodian, and It l.s passed on to tho
younger members of tho community na
necessity demands.

CHAPTER XHI
The Old Climax
FOLLOWING tho battle with the air
ships, tho community rcmnlned within
tho city for several days, abandoning tho
homeward march until they could feci
reasonably assured that tho ships would
not return.
To bo cnught on the open plains with n
cavnlcndo of chariots nnd children was far
from tho tlcslro of even so warlike a peo
plo ns tho green Martian..
During our period of Inactivity Tars
Tnrkns hnd Instructed mo In many of tho
customs nnd nrts of war fnmlllnr to the
Thnrks, Including lessons In riding nnd
guiding tho great beasts which boro tho
wnrrlors. Theso crentures, which are
known ns thonts, nre ns dangerous nnd
vicious ns their masters! but when onco
subdued nre sufficiently trnctnblo for tho
purposes of tho green Mnrtlans.
Two of theie anlmnls had fallen to mo
from tho wnrrlors whoso metal I wore,
nnd In short time I could hnndlo them
nulto ni well ns tho natUo wnrrlors.
Tho method was not nt nit complicated.
If tho thonts did not respond with suf
ficient celerity to tho telepathic Instruc
tions of their riders they wcro dealt a tor
rlllo blow between tho ears with the butt
of i pistol, nnd If they showed fight this
treatment wni continued until the brutes
cither wero subdued or had unseated their
riders, often with fntnt rcsutts.
In tho latter event It Immediately bc
enmo n llfo and death sttugglo betweon'
tho mnn nnd the bcnBt. If tho warrior
wcro quick enough with his plitol, ho
might live to ride ngaln, though upon
Fomo other beast; If not, his torn nnd
mangled body wns gnlhcred up by his
women nnd burned In nccordanco with
tho Thnrltlan custom.
My cxpcrlonco with Woola determined
Wo to attempt tho experiment of kindness
In my treatment ot my thonts, First I
taught them that they could not unsent
mo, and oven nipped them sharply bo
tween the rnrs to Impress upon them my
uiiinority nnu miistcry.
Then, by degrees, I won tholr confidence
In much tho sntno manner as I had
adopted rnuntlcFH times with my many
mundano mounts. I uns always a good
hand with nnimnls, r.nd by Inclination, ns
well ns hecnuse It brought moro lasting
nnd satisfactory results, I waa always
kind nnd humano In my dealings with tho
lower orders. I could tnke a human life,
If nccossary, with fnr less compunction
than that of a poor, unreasoning, Irrespon
sible brute.
In tho courso of n few days my thonts
woro the wonder of tho entlro community.
They would follow mo llko dogs, rubbing
their great snouts ngalnst my body In
awkward evidence of nffcctlon, nnd re
spond to my every commnnd with nn alac
rity nnd docility which caused tho Martian
wnrrlors to nscrlbo to me tho possession
of Bomo earthly power unknown on Mars.
"How havo you bewitched them?" nsked
Tnrs Tnrkas ono nftemoon, when ho hnd
seen mo run my arm far between the
great Jaws of ono of my thoats which
hnd wedged a piece of stono between two
of his teeth while fcedlt.j.
"By kindness," I replied. "You see.
Tars Tnrkns. tho softer sentiments havo
their value, even to a warrior. In tho
height of battle, ns well ns upon tho
march, I know that my thoats will obey
my every command, nnd thcrcforo my
lighting efllclency Is enhanced, nnd I am
n better watrlor for tho reason that I am
a kind master.
"Your other warriors would find It to
tho ndvantngo of themselves, ns welt as of
tho community, to adopt my methods In
this respect. Only n few days since you,
yourself, told mo that theso great brutes,
by tho uncertainty of their tempers, often
wcro the means of turning victory Into
defeat, slnco at a crucial moment they
might elect to unseat' and rend their
rlderB."
"Show mo how' you nccompllsh theso
results," was Tars Tarkns's only rejolner
to my remarks.
And so I explained as carefully as I
could the entlro method of training I had
adopted with my1 bensts, and later he had
in -epeat It before Lorquas I'tomel nnd
tno nsseinbled wnrrlors.
That moment mnrked the beginning of
a new exlstcnco for tho poor thoats. nnd
boforo I left tho community of Lorquas
I'tomel I lun the satisfaction of observ
ing a rcglmx of ns trnctablo and docile
mounts ns one might enre to see.
The effect on tho precision nnd celerity
of tho military movements was so remark
uble that Lorquas Ptomel presented mo
with a mns'lvo anklet of gold from his
own leg, as a sign of his appreciation.
On tho seventh tiny following tho battle
with tho aircraft we again took up the
inarch toward Thnik, nil probability of n
counter-attack being deemed remote bj
Lorquas Ptomel.
During tho days Just preceding our de
parture I had seen but llttlo of Dejah
Thorla, as I hnd been kept very busy by
Tars Tarkas with my lessons In tho art
of Martian warfare, as well ns In tho
training of my thoats.
Tho few times I had visited her quarters
she hnd been absent, walking upon tho
streets with Sola or Investigating tho
buildings In the near vicinity of the plaza.
On the evening before our departure I
saw them npproachtng along ono of the
great avenues which led to tho plaza from
tho cast. I advanced to meet them, and
telling Sola that I would take tho respon
sibility for Dejah Thorls" safe keeping, I
directed her to return to her quarters on
somo trivial errand.
I liked nnd trusted Sola, but for soma
reason I desired to be alone with Dejah
Thorls, who represented to me all that I
had left behind upon Earth In agreeable
companionship. Tliero seemed bonds of
mutual interest between us ns powerful
as though wo had been born under tho
same roof rather than upon different plan
ets that hurtled through spaco somo 48,
000,000 mUes apart.
That she shared my sentiments In this
respect I was positive, for on my approach
the look of pitiful hopelessness left her
sweet countenance to be replaced by a
smile of welcome, as she placed her little
right hand upon my left shoulder In true
red Martian salute.
"Sarkoja told Sola that you had become
a true Thark," she said, "and that I would

"Sarkoja Is a liar of tho first magni

proud claim of tha Tharks to absolute
verity."
Dejah Thorls laughed,.
"I knew thnt even though you became
a member of tho community you would
not ceaso to be my friend. 'A warrior
may change his metal, but not his heart,'
ns tho saying is upon Barsoom.
"I think they havo been trying to keep
us apart,; bIio continued, "for whenever
you have been oft duty ono of tho older
women of Tnrs Tarkns' rctlnuo has nt
