THIS ray, Hko the ninth rny, Is unknown
on earth, but the Martians have dlscov
ereil that It Is an Inherent property of nil
light no matter from what sotirco It
emanates. They have learned thnt It Is
the solar eighth ray which propels tha
light of tho sun to the various planets, and
thnt It Is the Individual eighth ray of
each planet which "reflects," or propels,
the light thus obtained out Into spnee once
more.
Tho Bolnr eighth ray would be nbaorfoptl
by the surface of Unrsoom, but the Hnr.
soomlnn eighth ray, which tends to props!
light from .Mars Into space. Is constantly
stream I UK out from tho plnnct, constitut
ing a force of repulsion of gravity which,
when confined, Is nble to lift enormous
weights from the surfneo of the ground.
It is this rny which has cnnblcd them
so to perfect nvlntlon thnt battleships far
outweighing anything kmnvn upon earth
sail as gracefully and lightly through tho
thin air of Harsoom as a toy balloon In
the heavy atmosphere of enrth.
During the early years of tho discovery
of Ihjs rny, many ntrango ncoldents oc
curred before tho Mnrtlnns learned to
measure nnd control the wonderful power
they had found.
In una Instance, some 900 years before,
the first great bntlcshlp to be built with
elghth-rny reservoirs was stored with too
great a quantity of tho rays, and she had
sailed up from Helium with 600 officers
nnd men, never to return. Her power of
repulsion for the plnnct was so great that
it had cnrrlcd her fnr into spnee, whoro
she, can bo seen todny, by tlio aid of pow
erful telescopes, hurtling through the
heavens 10,000 tulles from Mars a tiny
satellite, thnt wltl thus encircle tlnrsoom
to the end of time.
Tho fourth dny after my nrrlvnl nt .o
dangn, I made my first flight, and n n re
sult of It I won a promotion which In
cluded nunrtcrs In Hie pnlaco at Than
Koala.
As I rose above tho city I circled Sev
ern! times, ns 1 hnrl .seen Kantos Knn do;
nnd then, throwing my engine Into top
speed, I raced at terrific velocity towurd
the Routli, following one of tho grent
waterways which enter Zodanga from
thnt direction
I lind traversed pcrhnps 200 miles In ;i
llttlo less thnn nn hour when I descried
far below mo n pnrly of green warriors
racing madly toward n nmnl! figure on
foot, which seemed ti be trying to rench
tho confines of one of the wnlled fields.
Dropping my mnchlne rapidly toward
them and circling to tho rrnr of tho war
riors, I soon saw thnt the object of their
pursuit wnB a red Martian wcnrlng fiio
motal of the scout sciundrun to which I
wns attached.
A short distance nway lay his tiny tiler,
surrounded by tho tools with which ho
had evidently been occupied In repairing
some damngo when surprised by the green
warriors.
They wcro now almost upon 1dm, their
flying mounts charging down on the rela
tively puny figures at terrlfla speed, whllo
the warriors lenned low to tho right, with
their grent mctal-Hhot ypenrs.
Each Hcemed striving to bo tho first to
Impale the poor Zodungan, and In another
moment his fate would have been sealed
had It not been for my tlniejy arrival.
Driving my fleet aircraft at high speed

HOW TO GET A CAMERA
Dear Everybody I had my picture "took" the other day nnd I was so
excited I forgot to brush my hnir and the camera man had to do it for me
with a nice soft towel.
I got bald wearing my hat in the house.
Well, I was just thinking what u lot of fun our members are going to have
watching for each other's amateur photographs in our club news and then it
occurred to me that some of our members might not hnve cameras.
Here is an easy way to get a camera:
W,hcn Daddy comes home tonight you must greet him at the door and
welcome him. Lead him gently but firmly to a comfortable chair and ask
him how business is. If it is good, you might sit on his lap and recite the
following:
"I wns thinking the other day what a fine-looking father I had and
how I would love to have a picture of him to look at years from now when
when (begin to choke here) he has gone from me. Of course, we havo an
excellent photograph of you, daddy dear, but I want one I took all by myself.
"I find I can get a camera for (mention price) and as business is good
with you, I want that (mention price) so that I can get a picture of you
taken by myself to show my children YOUR grandchildren."
When you get your camera, send me a picture of your dog or cat or doll.
Let us have more pictures. FARMER SMITH,

Billy Humps' Great Appetite
One nlfjlit when Mister and Missus Goat
had gone to bed, Hilly told her that his
great friend. Mister Ansora Goat, had
broken his toe on u wntorbnp.
"How could that bo?" said Missus Goat,
In crent surprise.
"Well." said Billy, very thoughtfully,
"ono nlKht when Mister Goat went to bed
ho wns ho cold that his wlfo put a water
bag to hl.s feet. During tho night It got
so cold that tho watcrbag froze, and ho
happened to kick It. and when ho kicked
It It broke his tor."
"I'll fix you for that," as she turned
over and went to sleep.
nilly lay nwnke for half an hour laugh
ing softly to himself, nnd then ha fell
asleep. He did not know how long lie
had been asleep, when he suddenly woke
up.
"My," he said to hlmsolf, "I do not
think that I will over get enough to eat.
and If I get out of bed nt this time I
will freeze to death." Just then ho caught
sight of tho beautiful counterpane In tho
moonlight which his wlfo had made for
them.
Then he said to himself, "Oh, you beau
tlful counterpane!" and began eating It.
"My," he exclaimed, "how delicious this
Is."
Ily nnd by his good wife woke up. nnd
exclaimed: "Hilly Humpus, I am almost
frozen to death. What Is tho matter?"
"I guess It must bo tho llttlo moon
beams. You see the sun is hot and the
moon Is cold, and when you sleep In the
moonlight you freeze to death without
knowing It."
Hilly had to talk fast ho was afraid
his wife would discover that the counter
pane was gone. Ho ho continued, "Many
years ago, me man in mo moon used to
have pie for dinner. You see. his wife
was a lady in the moon, and she was al
most as good to him us you nro to me."
"Never mind," said Missus Goat, "I am
freezing to death."
"Oh, pshaw!" said Hilly. "I guess you
nre thinking about that waterbag."
"Why, Billy Humpus, you have eaten
tho counterpane! Get up instantly, and
we will put the mattress over us."
"If you do," said Billy thoughtfully,
"I will eat the springs."
Missus Goat was so vexed she could only
exclaim: "Well, I hope that counterpane
will give YOU a 'pain.'"
"Smarty," said Billy, as he got up and
pulled the mattress oft the bed.

circled thn room between tho hangings
and the walls of tho chamber. Within
this piissngn I was to remain, he wiltl,
so long ns Thau Kosls was In thn apart
ment. When ho left I wns to rnllmv. My only
duty was to guard the ruler and keep out
of sight iih much us possible. I would bo
relieved after a period of four hours. Tho
majordomo then left me.
The tapestried were of n strange weav
ing, which gavo the appenranco of heavy
solidity from one side, hut from my hid
ing place 1 could perceive all that took
place within the room as readily ns though
there had been no curtain Intervening.
Scarcely hnd I gained my post than
tho tapestries at tho onnoslto end of thn
chamber separated nnd four soldiers of
the gum d entered, surrounding a female
Ilguie. Ah they npproaclied Thnn Kosls
tho soldiers fell to cither sldo and there,
standing before the Jeddnk, and not Iimi
feet from me, her beautiful fnco radiant
with smiles, woh Dcjnh Tliorls.
Kali Than, Prince of Xodanga, advanced
to meet her, and, hand In hand, they ap
proached close to the Jeddnk. Than Kosls
looked up in surprise, and, rising, saluted
her.
To what strange freak do I owe tills
visit from tho Princess of Helium, who,
two days ago, with rare consideration for
my pride, assured mo that she would pre
fer Tal llajus, tin) green Thurk, to my
son?" ho asked.
Dejah Tliorls only smiled the more, and
with tho roguish dimples playing nt tho
colliers or her mouth, sho made an
swer. "From the beginning of tlino upon Unr
soom It has been tho prcrogativn of wom
an to change her mind iih sho listed and
to dissemble In mutters concerning her
heurt. That you will forgive. Than Kosls,
us has your son.
"Two days ago I was not suro of his
loo for mo j but now I nm, and I linvo
como to beg of you to forget my rush
words and to accept tho assurance of
tho I'lincctjs of Helium that she will wed
Sab Thnn, t'rlnco of Zodanga."
"I am glad that you havo so decided,"
replied Than Kosls. "It Is far from my
ileslro to push war further against tho
people of Helium, nnd I welcome the op
portunity to exorclso tho ban of war with
tho linns of matrimony. Your promlso
shnll bo recorded, nod u proclamation to
my people Issued forthwith."
"it wero better," Thnn Kosls." Inter
rupted DeJ.ih Tliorls, "that tho proclama
tion wait the ending of this war. It would
look strange. Indeed, to my people and to
yours wero tho Princess of Helium to give
herself to her country's enemy In tho
midst of hostilities."
"Cannot tho war ho ended at once?"
spoke Kali Than. "It requires but the
word of Than KiihIh to bring pence. Say
it, my father, say the word that will
hasten my happiness, and end this un
popular Ntrlfo."
"Wo sh. ill see." replied Thnn Kosls,
"how thn peoplo of Helium take to peace.
I shall at least offer It to them."
Dejah Tliorls, nfter a few words, turned
and left tho apartment, still followed by
her guardH.
Though I had heard It with my own
cars, I could not bellova It. I must search
out her apartments nnd forco her to re
pent tho cruel truth to mo alone beforo I
would bo convinced, nnd so I deserted my
j post nnd hastened through tho passage
lichlnu the tapestries toward too uoor ly
which sho hail left the chamber. Slipping
quietly through this opening I discovered
u mazo of winding corridors, branching
and turning In every direction.
Ilunnlng rapidly down 'first one and
then another of them, I soon became hope
lessly lost and was standing panting
against a sldo wall when I heard voices
near me.
Apparently they wero coming from tho
opposlto side of tho partition against
which I leaned, nnd presently I made out
the tones of Dejah Tliorls.
Moving on n few steps I discovered an
other passageway at tho end of which lay
a door. Walking boldly forward I pushed
into the room, only to find myself In a
small antechamber, In which were the
four guards who had accompanied her.
One of them Instantly rose and uccosted
me. asking tho nature of my business.
"And your order?" asked tho fellow.
I did not know what he meant, but
replied that I was a member of the
guard, and, without waiting for n reply
from hlni, I strodo towurd the opposite
door of the antechamber, behind which I
could hear Dejah Thorls conversing.
Hut my entrance was not to be so easily
accomplished. The guardsman stepped
beforo me, saying:
"No one comes from Than Kosls without
carrying an order or tho password. You
must give me one or the other before
you may pass,"
"The only order I require, my friend,' to
enter where I will hangs at my side," I
answered, tapping my long swqrd. "Will
you let me pass In peace or no?"
For reply he whipped out his own
sword, calling to the others to Join him,
and thus ' the four stood, with drawn
weapons barring my further progress.
My reply was a quick thrust which left
me but three antagonists, and I can assure
you that they were worthy of my metal.
They had me backed against the wall In
no time, fighting for my life.
Slowly I worked my way to a corner of
the room where I could forco them to
come at me only one at a time, and thus
we fought upward of 20 minutes, the
clanging of steel upon steel producing a
veritable bedlam In the little room.
The noise had brought Dejah Thorls to
the door of her apartment, and there she
stood throughout the conflict, with Sola
at her back, peering over her shoulder.
Her face was set and emotionless, and I
knew that she did not recognize me, nor
did Sola.

PLANNING THE HOME
VEGETABLE GARDEN

Now U the time to plan the home
vegetable jrnrrien. The preliminary
aniline should flrnt be made on pnperi
't will snte. many mistake Inter.
Draft several pinna If necessary nnd
Put thn one thnt suits bent on stiff

Having decided whnt Is to be planted,
tho Indoor gardener draws lines or sym

different crops, Inserting the dnto when
each Is to bo planted. Where n second or
third crop Is to follow tho same row or
occupy the same ground, this may be
written In red or blue Ink, which Indi
cates that It Is to be planted when nn
earlier crop Is over. In Inylng Out tho
plnn tho owner should consider the amount
of each vegctablo necessary for n serving
for his family, giving preference to those
which are favorites on tho table.
For n family of four 10 early tomato
plants nnd 20 lato would bo enough and

early and lato beets, thrco eggplants and
three pepper plants should sco a family
of four through the summer. If somo nro
to bo canned, double the rows of benns,
pens nnd com.
Tho planner should benr In mind tho
habits of the plants so ns to allow space
enough between the rows for their proper
growth, for the Interplnntlng of later
crops nnd for easy cultivation. Tho cul
tivation, of course. Is easiest when the
rows nro Hi to 2 feet apart, as this per
mits tho uso of wheel cultivators. Plants
which nialto a high growth and cause
heavy shade, such as corn, okra and pole
llmas, naturally should not bo located
whero they will Interfcro with sun-loving
small plants. Perennials, such ns rhu
barb and asparagus, which aro not culti
vated, nhould not lie grown among vege
tables which call for tilling. Tho plan
ning may bo extended also to tho planting
of small fruits, such as currants, rasp
berries and grapes, and oven to tho loca
tion of apple or other fruit trees. ,
Tho aim of the back-yard gordoncr
should be to rnlso those vegetables which
aro either expensive or In which tho
llnvnr or quality depends Importantly on
absolute frcshnoss. Pens and Btrlng or
lima henns, to be nt their best, should be
cooked almost Immediately after they aro
guthcrcd. Peas kept oven for a dv loso
their Hwcetncss, Consequently, as much
spneo ail possible, should bo devoted to
such vegetables, and other vegetables In
which freshness does not count so Impor
tantly should largely bo used as fillers to
iteep tno ground at work. IJffort also
I should bo mudo In a garden to havo
special vegetables, such as okra, of which
