Donning my trappings and weapons, I

I lost no time In explanations, but
plunged Imo a discussion of our plans
for the Immediate future.
It was decided that I was to try to
make Helium while Kantos Kan was to
enter the palace and dispatch Sab Than.
If successful, he was then to follow me.
He set my compass for me, ft clever little

as i spcu through the air, the screech

Ine that only by a miracle could t escape,
but the die was cast, and, throwing on flt

Helium. Gradually I left my pursuers
further and further behind, and I was Just
congratulating in) self on my lucky es
cape when a well-directed shot from the
cruiser exploded at .'the prow of my little
craft.

sprung befoie his prostrate form and en

I had accounted for one of them when
the mighty Thark regained his feet and
quickly settled the other.
He gave me one look, and a slight smile
touched him grim lips as, touching my
shoulder, ho said: '

Rising again, I scanned the heavens for
my pursuers, and finally made nut their
such a thing as friendship,
my friend."
He said no more, nor was there oppor-
The eaves projected nearly 20 fet from
the wall to which I clung, and though I
encircled the building I could find no
opening through them.
The top floor was alight and filled with
soldiers engaged In the pastimes of their
kind. I co'uld not, therefore, reach the
-roof through the building.
There was one slight, desperate chance,
nd that I decided J must take. It wns
for Dejah Thoris, and no man has lived
who would not risk a thousand deaths for
such as she.
Clinging to the wall with my feet and
dne Hand, Unloosened one of the 1ohg i
leather straps of my trappings, at the end
of which dangled a great hook by which I
nlr sailors are hung to the sides and bot
toms of their craft for various purposes
of repair, and by means of which landing
panics are lowereu to tne ground from
the battleships.
I swung this hook cautiously to the roof
several times before It finally found lodge
ment Gently I pulled on It to strengthen
Its hold, but whether It would bear the
weight of my body t did not know.
It mght. be barely caught upon the very
outer verge of the roof, so that as my
body swung out at the end of the strap It
would slip off and launch me to the pave
ment a thousand feet below.
An Instant I hesitated, and then, releas
ing my grasp upon Jhe supporting orna
ment, I swung out Into space.
Par below me lay the brilliantly lighted
streets the hard pavements and death.
There was a little Jerk at the top of
the supporting eaves, and a nasty, slip
ping, grating sound which turned me cold
with apprehension ; then the hook caught.
ana i was Bate,
Clambering quickly aloft I grasped the
dge of the eaves and drew myself to
the surface of the roof above. Ah I
gained my feet 1 was confronted by the
sentry on duty. Into the muzzle of whose
revolver 1 found myself looking.
"Who are you and whence came you?"
he- cried.
."I am an air-scout, friend, and very
near a dead one. for Just y tho merest
ohance I escaped falling to the nvenue
below," I replied.
"But how came you upon the roor,

Quick, explain yourself, or I call the

"Look you here, sentry, and you Bhall

r " A RAILROAD TRAIN AND OTHER THINGS
Dear Children I suppose it is a very foolish question to ask you whether
you ride on a railroad train, but it seems to me I have asked that question
before.
Often I have the great honor of riding on a railroad train with children,
and it used to be a terrible undertaking until I discovered a wonderful
game, which is this: We give each object along the road a certain value,
say, n house is 6, a horse is 10, an automobile is 15 and so on. If you
happen to see the children's editor at the window, that would count nbout
. a thousand. The one who has the greatest number at the end of the ride
winsthe game.
It will also prove of great value to you, as your vacation season comes
along, to watch the men who nre employed on a railroad train. Tim ron.
ductor looks very dignified as he marches through with his uniform and
brass buttons, all bright and shining, and his pockets stuffed full of goodnesi
knows what. You will also see the brakeman, whose ambition it is some
day to be a conductor, and if you look closely, you will see the baggageman,
whose duty it is to put your trunk down as carefully as possible and take
r are of dogs belonging to ladles who have no children.
But by far the most important person on a train is the ENGINEER.
It has always been a mystery to me how he finds his way in the winking
and blinking nights, and I wish you would write to me what you think
bout the ENGINEER, also the wonderful game which I have told you about.

The Fairy and the Policeman
By JACK BURQESa. Cedar Avtoue
There was one a strong and faithful
policeman. As he was walking up the
street he said, half aloud, "I do wish that
I was a captain." Just after he said this
he heard a sweet voice saying:
"Do not bo afraid. I am a fi.- ' t
heard you make a wish and I will tell you
what to do. Go up the street a way and
you will come to an alley. Go up this
alley and there you will meet a child "
m pouceman started up the street and
soon came to a small side street! He
said. 'I. guess this la the place." He walked
uv ii iuu ua bw Bometning lying on the
ground. He looked at the ragged bundle
and found It was a child, dressed In tat
ters and rags. The policeman picked the
child up and took it to the station house
where It was fed and put In a bed. The
next day the policeman received a note
saying that he had been promoted to be a
captain. He afterward adopted the child
and always thanked the kind fairy

The next morning Sarkoja was gone, nor
was she ever seen after.
In silence we hastened to the Jeddak's

scarcely wait to see me, and was standing

"Silence!" roared Tal HaJus. "Gag

"Justice. Tal HaJus!" exclaimed Lor
quas I'tomel "Who are you to set aside
the customs of ages among the TharksT"
"Yes, Justice" echoed a doien voices;
and sol while Tal HaJus fumed and
frothed, I continued:
"You are a brave people and you love
bravery, but where was your mighty Jed

see him in the thick of battle; he was
not there. He rends defenseless women

A roar of deep-toned applause greeted
this suggestion.
"It but remains for this council to com

would Invite Tars Tarkas to combat, for
he does not love him, but Tal Hajus Is
afraid Tal HaJus. your Jeddak, Is
coward With my bare hands I could kill
him, and he knows It"
After I ceased there was tense silence,
as all eyes were riveted upon Tal HaJus.
He did not spealc or move, but the blotchy
green of his countenance turned livid, and
the froth froze upon his lips.
"Tal HaJus," said Lorquas Ptomel, in a
cold, hard voice, "never In my long life
have I seen a Jeddak of the Tharks so
humiliated. There could be but one
answer to this arraignment. We wait It "
And still Tal HaJus stood as though
petrified.
"Chieftains," continued Lorquas Ptomel
"shall the Jeddak, Tal HaJus, prove hlu
fitness to tuie over Tars Tarkas?"
There were twenty chieftains about the
rostrum, and twenty swords flashed high
In the air, as signal of assent
There was no alternative. That decree
