above the shoulder of my foe, and then In
a mighty wave of snarling, snapping,
screaming, purring rage they swept over
me nnd of all the sounds that assailed
my ears as I went down beneath them, to
me tho most hideous was tho horrid pur

Dut even the two best swords In a world
of fighters can avail not forever against
overwhelming numbers of flerco nnd savage

back.
At length we stood against tho giant trco
that we had chosen for our ascent, and
then, as charge after charge hurled Ita
weight upon Us, we gavo back again and
again Until we had been forced half-way
round the huge base of tho colossal trunk.
Tars Tarka8 was In the lead, and sud
denly I heard a little cry of exultation from
him.
"Here Is shelter for one at least, John
Carter," he said, nnd, glancing down, I
saw an opening In the baso of the tree about
three feet In diameter.
"In with you, Tars Tarkast" I cried j

Together we wormed our wny along tho waving pathway.

I succeedod In struggling to my feet, where,
still grasping my long sword, and shorten
ing my grip upon It until I could uso It as
a dagger, I wrought such havoc among
them that at one time I stood for an Instant
free.
What It has taken minutes to write oc
curred In but a few seconds, but during
that tlmo Tars Tarkaa had seen my plight
and had dropped from the lower branches,
which ho had reached with such tnflntto
labor, and as I flung the last of my Imme
diate antagonists from mo the great Thark
leaped to my side, and again we fought,
back to back, as we had done a hundred
times before. '
Time nnd again tho ferocious apes sprang
in to close with us, and time and again
we beat them back wltluour swords. The
great, tails of the plant men lashed, about
us as' they charged from various directions
or sprang with tho agility of greyhounds
abovo our heads.
But every attack met a gleaming blade

20 years the best that Mars had over

"Then wo shall die together, Tars Tar

Wo still wore fighting furiously as wa

At length ho yielded, for It seemed tho

JIMMY MONKEY'S SHADOW
By Farmer Smith
It was a warm day In Jungletown. Jimmy
Monkey sat under the bamboo tree trying
to keep cool. Every now and then ho would
wiggle his tall and strange to relato! the
shadow of his tall moved back and forth
Just as the tall moved.
"That's funny," said a mellow little voice
beside Jimmy,
Turning around, Jimmy could see no one,
so he got up and looked behind the tree.
"Hero I am," said the merry little mellow
voice. "Right here. Oet down on the
ground and you will find me gone."
"Oh, I know-t Sou are my shadow and
when I lie down on the ground you ara
gone," said Jimmy, peeking around tho
tree.
"Oh, look " exclaimed Jimmy, looking
right at the big fellow.
At this Mister Elephant danced around
o fast he almost fell down.
"Look at what?" he, asked.
"Look at your Bhadowl" shouted Jimmy
Mister Elephant danced around again and
said: "What'a the matter with It?"
"Nothing. Only I wish I had a big
shadow like yours,"
You can have mine I don't mind," an
swered Mister Elephant.
"Stretch out your tall and see If it makes
a shadow longer than my tail," commanded
Jimmy.
At this Mister Elephant squinted down
at Jimmy and said I "you can't make a
monkey out of me I'm Jin Elephant."
"That may be," answered Jimmy, thought
fully, "but your shadow Isn't."
A Tribute to a Rainbow
The following extracts from two letters
will explain themselves. Tha Rainbow who
Is responsible for them Intended neither for
publication. However, we decided that their
helpfulness waa too deep to be wasted.
Therefore what was meant for private eye
Is unfolded to yout that you may read
and learn.
The first, from tha Rainbow, Harry Axson,
of Colllngswood, K, J., reads: "I am pend
ing you a letter from a near old lady friend
of mine. Let ma tell you how I became ac
quainted with her, On the 20th of May,
during a large parade tn our town, I was
standing on tha same corner with her and
she wanted some Information, I gave her
my guide book, and a friend of mine and
myself found boxes, and from them we all
watched the parade together. The letter Is
In answer to one I wrote. Please send it
back; I prize It most wonderfully,"
The second, from -"the dear bid lady";
"It certainly waa lovely of you to think
of me. Did you take a picture) of me? Why,
bow sweet I fear, Harry, I must look a
little cross, aa tho sun was trying. I as
sure you I felt very comfortable and happy
because yeu and yau'r friend did everything
to make me bo. Many boya of your ages
would not have remained with a lady so
much older. Your parents can be proud of
you. Boys of your thoughtfulness cannot
help but succeed.
"The talent of success; Harry, Is really
nothing more than dqlng what you can do
well and doing well whatever you do, with
out first a thought of fame. If It cornea It
will be because It Is deserved. I love this
helpful thought of Longfellow, so I pass it
on to you."
Things to Know and Do

to obey the dictates, of a creature of an
other world of a man whoso stature was
less than half his own.
"If you fall, John Cnrter," he Bald, "know
that tho cruel and heartless Thark to whom
you taught tho meaning of friendship will
come out to dlo beside you."
"Ab y6u will, my friend," I replied. "But
quickly now, head first, white I cover your
retreat."
Ho hesitated a illtlo at that word, for
noter In his whole life of continual Btrlfo
had he before turned hla back Upon aught
than a dead or defeated enemy.
"Hnste, Tars Tartfas," I urged, "or w
Bhnll both go down to profitless defeat.
I cannot hold them forever nlonc."
As ,he dropped to the ground to force
his wny Into tho tree, the whole howling
pack of hideous dovlls hurled themselves
upon me. To right and left llew my shim
mering blade, now green with tho sticky
Juice of a plant man, now red with the
crimson blood of a great whlto ape.
And thus I fought as I never had fought
before, agntnst frightful odds that I can
not realize even now. v
With tho fenr that wa would escapo
them, tho creatures redoubled their efforts
to pull mo down, and though the ground
about mo was piled high, with their dead
and dying comrades, they succeeded at Inst
In. overwhelming me; and I went down be
neath them for the Becond time that day,
nnd onco ngaln felt those nwful sucking
lips ngntnst my flesh.
But senrce had I fallen ero I felt power
ful hands grip my nnklcs, and In another
second I was being drawn within tho
ulielter of the tree'B Interior.
For a moment It was a tug of war be
tween Tars Tnrkas nnd a great plant man
who clung tcnnclously to my breast, but
presently I got the point of my long sword
beneath him, and with n mighty thrust
pierced his vitnln.
Bleeding from many wounds, I lay pant
ing upon the ground within tho hollow of
tho tree, while Tarn Tarkas defended tho
opening from the furious mob without.
Kor nn hour they howled about tho open
In, but nftcr a few attempts to reach us
they confined their efforts to terrorizing
slulokB nnd screams; to horrid growling on
tho part of tho great whlto apes and tho
fearsomo and Indescribable purring by tho
plant men. j
At length alt but a score, who had appar
ently been left to prevent our escape, hnil
departed, and our adventuro seemed destined
to result In n siege, tho only outcome of
which could bo our death by starvation.
For oven should we bo able to Blip out after
dar'i, where. In that unknown and hostile
valloy. could wo hopo to turn our Btepa
toward possible escape?
Ai tho nttneks of our enemies ceased nntl
our eyes became accustomed to tho scml
darkness of tho interior of our strango ro
treat, I took tho opportunity to explore our
The trco was hollow to nn extent of about
fifty feet In diameter, nnd from Its Hat,
hard floor I Judged that It had often been
used to bouso others. As I raised my eyes
toward Ita roof to note tho height, I saw
far above mo a faint glow of light.
There was nn opening above. If wo could
but reach it, we might still hopo to mako
tho Bholter of tho cliff caves. My eyes
bad now become quite used to tho subdued
light of the Interior, and as 1 pursued my
Investigation I presently came upon a
rough ladder at tho far side of the tree.
Quickly I mounted It, to find that it
connected nt tho top with tho lower of a
scries of horizontal wooden bars that span
ned the now narrower and shaftlike Interior
of tho tree's stem. These bars wero set
one above another, about three feet apart,
and formed n perfect ladder as far abovo
me as I could see.
Dropping to tho floor onco more, I tie
tailed my discovery to Tars Tarkas, who
suggested that I explore aloft as far as
I could go In safety, whllo ho guarded the
entrance against a posslblo attack.
As I hastened above to explore tho
strange shaft, I fouhd that tho ladder of
horizontal bars reached always far abovo
mo as my eyes could reach, and as I as
cended, the light from abovo grew brighter
and brighter.
For fully five hundred feet I continued to
climb, until at length I reached tho open
ing In the stem which admitted the light.
It was of about tho samo diameter as tho
ontranco at the foot of the tree, and opened
directly upon a large, flat limb, tho well
worn surface of which testified to Its long
continued use as an avenue for some crea
ture to nnd from this remarkable shaft.
I did not venture out upon the limb for
fear that I might bo discovered nnd our
retreat In this direction cut off; Instead, I
hurried to retrace my steps to Tars Tarkas.
T Roon reached him. and presently wo
were both ascending the long ladder to
ward the opening above.
Tars Tarkas went in advance, and ns I
reached the first of the horizontal bars
I drew tho ladder up after me, and, hand
ing It to him, he carried It a hundred feet
farther aloft, where he wedged It safely
between one of the bars and the sldo of
the shaft.
In like manner I dislodged the lower bars
aa I passed them, 80 that we Boon had tho
Interior of tho tree denuded of all possible
means of ascent for a dlstanco of n hundred
feet from the base, thus precluding pos
sible pursuit and attack from the rar.
As we were to learn later, this precau
tion Baved us from dire predicament, and
waa eventually the means of our salvation.
When we reached (the opening at the top
Tars Tarkas drew to one side that I might
pass out nnd Investigate, as, owing to my
lesser weight and. greater agility, I was
better fitted for tha perilous threading of
this dizzy, hanging pathway.
The limb upon which I found myself
ascended at a alight angle toward the cliff,
and as I followed It I found that It ter
minated a few feet above n narrow ledge
which protruded from the cliff's face at
the entrance to a narrow cave.
As I approached tha slightly moro slen
der extremity of the branch It bent be
neath my weight until, as I balanced peril
ously upon Ita outer tip, It swayed gently
on a level with the ledge at a distance of
a couple of feet.
Five hundred feet below me lay the
vivid scarlet carpet of the valley; nearly
five thousand feet above towered the
mighty, gleaming face of the gorgeous
cliffs.
The cave that I faced was not one of
those that I had seen from the ground,
and which lay much higher, possibly a
thousand feet. But so far as I might know,
It was as good for our purpose as another,
and so I returned to the tree for Tars
Tarkas.,
Together, w wormed our way along the
waving pathway, 'but when we reached the
end of the branch we found that our com-

blned weight bo depressed the Hmb that
the cave's mouth waa now too far above Us
to be reached.
We finally agrtcd that Tars Tarkas
should return along tho branch, leaving
his longest leather harness strap with me,
and that when tho limb had risen to n
height tint would permit ma to enter the
cave I was to do bo, and upon Tars Tarkas'
return I could then lower the, strap nnd
haul hltji up to tho safety 'of tho ledge.
This wo did without mishap nnd soon
found ourselves together upon the verge of
ft dizzy little balcony, with a mngnlflcent
View of the Valley spreading out below Us.
So far ns tho eye could reach, gorgeous
forest nnd erlmion swafd skirted a silent
sea, nnd about all lowered the brilliant mon
ster gunrdlnn Cliffs. Once wo thought we
discerned a glided minaret gleaming In tho
sun amid the waving topi of far-distant
trees, but wo soon abandoned tho Idea In
the belief that It was but an hallucination
born of our great dcslro to discover the
haunts of civilized men In Ihls beautiful yet
forbidding spot
Below uA upon tho river's bank the great
white npes were devouring 'the last rent
nnnts of Tnrs Tarkas' former companions
while great herdi of plant men graced In
ever-widening circles about tho sward,
Which they kept as close clipped ns tho
smoothest of lawns.
Knowing that attack from the tree was
now Improbable, wo determined to exploro
tho cave, which wo had every reason to
believe was but n continuation of tho path
we had already traversed, leading tho gods
knew where, but clearly away from this
alley of ferocity
As wo advanced wo found a well-proportioned
tunnel cut from tho solid cliff. Its
walls rose some 20 feet abovo the floor,
which was about flvo feet in width. The
roof was arched.
Wo had no means of making a tight, nnd
bo groppd our wny slowly Into tho ever-
Increasing dnrkneqs) Tars Tarkas kocplng-i

diverging brnnches and becoming separatod
or lost In some Intricate and tabyrlnthlo
mate we clasped handB
How far we traversed tho tunnel In thli
manner I do not know, but presently wo
came to an obstruction which blocked our
further progress.
It seemed moro like a partition than a
sudden ending of tho cave, for It wns con
structed not of tho material of the cliff,
but of something which felt llko very hard
wood.
Silently I groped over Its surface with
my hands, nnd nrcsontly wns rewarded by
(the feel of tho button, which ns commonly
denotes a aoor on Mars as does a door
knob on Earth.
Oently pressing It, I had tho satisfaction
of feeling tho door Blowly glvo betoro me,
and In another instant wo were looking into
a dimly lighted apartment which, so far
as wo could seo, was unoccupied.
Wlthout'1moro ado I swung the door wldo
open and, followed by the huge Tharlt,
stopped Into tho chamber.
As wo stood for n moment In silence gaz
ing about tho room a Blight noise behind
cnused mo to turn quickly.
To my astonishment I saw tho door close
with n sharp click ns though moved by nn
unseen hand.
Instantly I sprang toward It to wrench
