I had hot IniiR to wnlt. for presently the

KciiCfly had it started than t Rave tho

BprliiBliijr for Iho recedliiB half of the pivot

In like innuiier tho Thark wheelcit and
eaped for Ihe openltie heliiB inndo hy the
InswltiRinB secllnii.
A single hound carried tne completely
through intii the rtdjnluitiK room ami
hr.iUBht tne face lo race with the fellow
wliow cruel fnco I had hefore seen.
II" was Minul tuy own helKhl nnd well
mttscieil, and In evely outward iletnll
molded precisely an tiro llarth moll.
At Ills slilo liuiiB ft loilBiwoid, a short
nworil, n dagger, and olio tit tho destructive

Tin' fact llt.it I was aimed only with n
lnnssword, nml ro nccordlUB to tho laws
mid ethh nf hatllo everywhere upon liar
Room, should only havo heen met with
similar or lesser weapon, roomed to tuiva
no erfeet upon Iho moral sense of my
enemy, for lie whipped out his revolver
eve 1 had scarce touched tho Hour by Ills
side, hut an upper cut from my loiiBSivord
sent It tlyliiB from his trnsp before he
rouhl discharge It.
Instantly he drew hl.i loiutsword, and,
thus overtly armed, wo net to In rarnoit
for one of tho closest battles I have ever
finisht.
The fellow was a marvelous) swordsman
mid evidently In practice, whllo 1 had not
gripped the hill of n sword for ten Ioiir
ears before that inorulliK.
Uut It did not lako mo Ioiib to fnll
easily into my IlRlitlnB stride, so that In n
few minutes tho man beKau to realize that
he hail at last met his match.
lli'i face became livid with rnro as he
found my gttnnt impicKiiahle, whllo blood
ilowed from n dozen minor wounds upon his
face and body.
"Who are you, white mnn?" ho hissed.
"That you tire no Harsoomtan from the
otiUr world is evident from your color.
And you are not of us'.'" '
Ills hist' statement vvns almost a question.
"What If I were from the lemplo of
Ihsus?" I hazatded on a wild BUes.
"I-'nto t'orfend 1" ho eKclnlmed, his face
BoltiR white under tho blood that now nearly
covered It.
I did not know how to follow up my
lead, hut I carefully laid the Idea away for
future uso should circumstances require It.
Ills nnnwer Indicated that for all ho
knew I mlKht he from tho temple of Jasus,
and so evidently llieio v. as u temple of
IssiiM. and lu It were men like unto mynelf.i
IJllher tills mnn feared the Inmates of
tho templo or elso ho held their persotut
or their power In such reverence Unit lie
trembled to think of tho Mint in nnd In
dignities bo had heaped upon one of them.
Hut my present business with him wns
of n dllfeient nature than that which re
quires any considerable abstract ic.'iKimiiiR.
It won to pet my sword hnlwcen bin ribs,
and tills I succeeded In doing within tho
next few decouds, nor was I an Instant too
soon.
Tho chained prisoners had been watching
tho combat In tense silence. Not it hound
had fallen In the room oilier than the clash
ing nf our contending blades, tho soft
shuttling of our naked feet and tho few
wlilspeied words wo hissed at ono nnothcr
through clenched teeth llio whilo wo enn
Umii'd our duel.
lint ns the body of my antagonist sunk
an Incil mass to the Hour n cry of wninlng
broko fiom onu uf the female prisoners.
"Turn! Turn! l!"hind you!" slin sliiieked,
and at 1 wheeled at the tlrst note of hor
hlu III er I found myself facing ti second
man of the samo taco as ho who lay at
my feet
Tho fellow had crept stealthily from a
dark corridor, and wan almost upon me
witli raised swoid ero I saw hint. Tars
Tarkait was iinvvhcio lli sight, and the secret
panel In tho wall, through which I had
come, was closed
I low I wished that he wero by my slilo
now! t had fought almost continuously for
many linius. 1 had passed through such
experiences and adventures ns most snp
the vitality of man. nnd with all thin I
had not eaten for licit ty 21 hours hor
slept.
I was fntjgeil out, ami for the tlrst lime
lu years felt a question as lo my ability"
to cope with ah antagonist. Hut there was
hausht else for Ii than to engntto my matt,
nnd th.it its quickly and ferociously us lay
I u me.
My only salvation wan to rush him off
hli feet by tho Impetuosity of my attack.
I could not hopo to win a, long-drawn-out
battle.
Hut tho fellow was evidently of another
mind, for ho backed nnd parried nnd par
tioil and side-stepped, until t was almost
completely ragged from tha exertion of
ntlemjillng lo llnlslt him.
Ho wns it mote adroit BWnrilstunii, If pot
slide, limit my previous foe, nnd I must
ndmlt that ho ted mo a pretty chase, nnd
lu the end emtio near to making a imrry
fool of me and a dead otto Into the bar
gain. I could feel myself growing weaker nnd
weaker, until. at length objects commenced
to blur before my eyes, nml 1 staggered
nml blundered about more asleep than
awake, nnd then It was that ho worked his
pretty little coup that canto near to losing
mo my life.
Ho had harked me totind so that I stood
In front ot tho corpso of his fellow, nnd
then he rushed me suddenly, so that I
wan forced back upon it, nnd ns my heel
struck it tlie impetus of my body Hung mo
backward across tho dead mnn
My bend struck the haul pavement with
a resounding vvlinclc, and lo that alone 1
owo my life, for It cleared my br.iln nnd
tho pain roused my temper, so that t was
equal for the moment to tearing my enemy
to pieces with tny bare hands. I veiilv b'
llevo that I should have attempted It l-iid
not my right hand. In tho act of raising
.my body from the ground, come lu cmitm t
wllh n hit of cold tnctnl.
As the eyes of the lnymnn, so Is the
lintid of the lighting mnn -when It ci'tnes
lu coiitui'l witli nn Implement "f his voca
tion, and t litis I did not nee'd to look or
leasnn to know that In my grasp was the
dead mini's tovolver, lying where it had
fallen when I sti nek It from him.
Tho fellow whose ruse hud put me down
was sprlnnliiR town id mo, tho point of his
gleaming bkulo directed straight nt my
heart.
As he came there rung from his lips the
cruel and mm king P"nl of lnimhter that
I had henrd within the chamber or mystety.
And so he died, his thin lips cut led in
tho snarl of his hateful laugh, and a bullet
ftoin the icvolver of Ills dead companion
bursting In his heart.
Ills body, home by tho impetus nf his
headlong rush, plunged upon me.
The hilt of his swoid must hnvo struck
my head, for wllh the impact of the corpse
I "lost consciousness.

It was the sound of conflict that loused
me oni'o more to tho icnlilies of life. Kor
a moment I could neither place my sur
roundings nor locate the sounds which had
loused mo.
Then from beyond tho blank wall hostile
which I lay I lieaul llio nhufllluR of feet,
the snarling nf grhn lienstn, tho clunk of
metal accoutrements, and tho heavy breath

As 1 rose to my feet I glanced hurriedly

Violet Arnold, of 'Cillbert, l'a , sends a
word about the Gilbert Rainbow Sowing
Circle, founded by Paulino Delbert: "We
nro trying our vety best to mako It a good

Violet adds "a word" about herself. "I
drove tho horsos this morning for my big
brother, and ho said it helped him a lot. If
there Is anything lu particular I can do to
help you or Pauline plenso just tell mo."
This spirit of wanting "to help Paulino"
is Uio spirit that will hold a branch club
together and make it into a substantial,
permanent "helping hand" to tho Itainbow
Club.
Bessie Oreenwald, secretary of the Wood

"I will tell you what we do at our meet

order, and I read the minutes and later
collect the dues. I then read your letter,
if you have sunt one. We then have a pro
gram and plan a new one for the next

then go home."
Tho llalnbow Lilies are to be congratu

with varying expressions of curiosity, sul

Tho In Iter emotion seemed plainly evi
dent upon the handsomo nnd Intelligent
face of the young icd Martian woman
whose cry of warning had been Instru
mental In saving my life.
She was a perfect type nf that remark
nbly beautiful race whoso outward appear,
nnco Is Identical with the more godllka
tneps of p.-iith men, except that this higher
rnco nf Mnrtlans Is ot tl light reddish cop
per color. As slin wits entirely unadorned,
I could not even guess her slnllon In life,
though It Was evident Mint she wns cither
a luisoher or slave in her ptesent environ

upon the opposlto side of the patlltlou
Jolted my slowly reluming faculties Into
a tcitllzntloti of their piobablo Import, niia
then or n sudden t grasped the rart that
they were paused by Thru Tntkns In what
wan evidently n desperate slrtlBglo Willi
wild beasts or savnge men.
With a cry of pupnurngemeiit t threw
my weight against the recret door, but
might an well have essayed the down-hurling
nf the elirffl themselves. Then f sought
feverishly for the secret of the revolving
panel, hut my search was fruitless, and t
wns nlmiit In raise my longsword against
the sullen gold when tho young woiimn pris
oner called nut to mo.
"Knvo your sword, O mighty warrior, for
you will need it more where it will nvnll
to some purpose. Shatter It not ngnlust
senseless metal which yields better lo Hi"
lightest linger touch of ono who known its

"Know you tho secret ot II then? I
asked
"Yes: release me nnd I will give- ynti

"Ltocoiise tny friend fights theto alone."
I answered, as I hastily sought nnd found

There were ninny keys upon the oval
ring, but tho fnir Mm Han maid quickly
selected that which spr-iing the great lock
nt her waist, and freed, she hurried toward
tile necret panel. ..
Again she sought out a key upon t he
ring. This time a slender, needle-llke niTatr
which sho Inserted In nil almost Invisible
hole In the wall. Instniitty the door swung
upon Its pivot nnd the contiguous section
of the iloor. upon which I wns standing,
carried me with It Into the .chamber where
Tars Torhnn fought.
The great Thark stood with his back
against tin angle of the walls, while facing
him In a semicircle n. half tinmen huge
monsters crouched waiting for an opening
Their blond-si leaked heads nnd shoulders
testified to (lie cause of their wariness as
well ns to the swoidsmanship of the green
wnritnr, whose glossy hide bore tho samo
mute but' eloquent witness to the ferocity
of the attacks Hint lie had so fnr withstood.
Sharp talons nnd ciuel fangs lind lorn

So weak was he. from rout limed exertion
and loss of blond that but for the sup
poitlng wall I doubt Hint lie even nuld
hnvo stood erect. Hut with the tenacity
and Indomitable courage of his kind he
still faced his cruel and relentless foes the
prrsonillcallon or that ancient provetb or
his tribe: "Leave to a Thark his henil and
ono baud and lie may yet conquer."
As he saw me enter a smile touched those
grim lips of his. but whether Hie hinile
signified relief nr merelv amusement nt
tho sight of my own bloody and disheveled
condition 1 do not kno-v.
As 1 wns about to spting into tho conlllct
with .my sharp loiigswnnl I felt a gentle
bund upon my shoulder, nnd turning found,
to my sin prise. Hint tho young woman had
followed me Into the chamber.
"Wnlt," she wlilspeied. "leave them to

upnii tlm sum Hug hnnths.
When quit" closn to them she spnkn n
single Martian word In low but peremptory
touts. l.lkn lightning the great beasts
wheeled upon her, and I looked to see her
torn to pieces before I could reach her side,
but Instead the creatures slunk to her feet
like puoplis that expect a meiited whip
ping Agnln sho spoke to them, but In tones
so low I could not catch tho woids, and
then she stalled townrd the opposite nldo
of Hie chamber wllh tho hl. mighty mnu
slcrn trailing nt heel
Ono by one sho sent them through tho
secret panel into tho room beyond, nml
when tho last had passed from the chamber
whero wo stood In wide-eyed amazement
sho turned and smiled nt us and then passed
through herself, leaving us alone.
For n moment neither of un spolto. Then
Tar Tarkas hald:
"I heard the fighting beyond tho partition
through which you passed, but 1 did not
fear for you, John Culler, until I heard a
lepntt nf a tcvulver shot. I know that
thoro lived no man upon nil Rarsonm who
could fnco you with naked steel and live.
but tho shot btripped tint last vestngo of
hope from me, since you I know to bo with
out firearms. Tell me of It."
1 did as lie hade, and then together wo
sought Uio secret panel through which I had
Just entered the npaitinent tho ono at tho
opposlto end of tlio room fiom Hint which
Uio girl had led her savage, companions.
To our disappointment the panel eluded
our every effort to negotiate Its seciet lock.
Wo felt that nnco hevund It we might look
with somo llttlo hopo for success for a
pass.igo to tho otitsiilo world.
Tim fact that tlio prlhonerH within wero
securely chained ltd us to bcllove that
Mirely thcro miial lie nn avenue of escape
from the terrible dentures which Inhabited
tills uiifcpeakalilo place
Again nnd again wo turned from ono
door to another, from thu huilhug golden
panel at ono end of tho chamber to its mato
at tlio other equally bathing
When Wo had about given up all hope
ono of tho panels tinned bllently toward
uso, and tho young woman who bad led
away tho bmiths stood once morn beside us.
"Who aro you?" bhe asked, "and what is
your mission, that you havo tho teiuctlty
to attempt to escape from the Valley Dor
and tlio death you havo chosen?"
'l have chosen no death, maiden," I
teplled. "I am not ot liaj-aooni, nor havo
I taken yet tho voluntary pllgrlmago upon
tlio River Is.s, My ft lend hero is Jeddak
of all the Thnrks, and though ho has not
jet expressed a desire to totiirn to tho

from the living Ho that hath lured him to
Ibis filghtful place.
"I am of another world. I am John
Carter, prince of the houso of Tardos Mors.
Jeddak tit Helium. I'erchanco some faint
tumor of mo may have leaked within the

Sho smiled.
"Yes," she teplled. "naught that passes
In the world wo havo left Is unknown here.
I havo heard of you; many years ago. The
therns have of times wondered whither you
had down, since you haa neither taken the
pilgrimage nor could bo found upon tho
face ot Harsoom."
"Tell me," I said, "and who aro you, and
why a prisoner yet with power over the,
ferocious beasts of tlio place that denotes
familiarity and authority far beyond that
which might be expected of a prisoner or
a tlave?"
"Slavo I am," sho answered, "For 15

Hint they have tired of ine and become fear

condemned lo dlo tlid death."
Klio shuddered.
"What death?" t asked.
"Tho holy thorn ent hlimnn llesli." she
ntiswetpil mpi "hut only that which hns
died beneath Iho sucking of Iho plant men
liesh from which the detlllng blood of llfo
has been drawn. Ami to this cruel end t

a few hours, had tint your advent caused nn
Interruption nf their plans."
"Wns It, then, holy Ihern.l who felt tho
weight of John r'arler'n band?" I nsked.
"Oil, tin ; those whom you laid low aro
lesser Iherns; but of tho same cruel and
hateful tnce. The holy thorns abide upon
the outer slopes of these grim hills, facing
Hi" broad world, from Willi It they harvest
their victims and their spoils.
"Labyrinthine pahanges connect these
cavps with the hmirlntls palaces nt tho holy
thorns, and through them pass upon their
many duties tlio lesser thorns, nnd hordes
of slaves nnd prisoners r.uil tlorce beasts
tlio grim inhnhltntits of tills simhss world.
"Thero are within tills vast net vv oik of

"They are kept to do the bidding of the

"Now and ngaln some hapless pilgrim,

coveted by the holy thorn who chances to

"All who loach tin Valley IVir are, by
custom, thn rightful prey of the plant men
and the apes, while their arms and orna
ments becoinn the portion of tho therns;
but If one escapes the terrible denizens of
the valley for even a few hours tlio thetns
may claim such n ono an their own
"And again tlio holy them on watch,
should lie see n letim lie covets, often
tramples upon the-rlglits nf tho unreasoning
hiutes of tho valley and takes Ids prizo by

"It Is said Hint occasionally some deluded
lrtlm of Harsoomlan superstition will so
far escape the clutches of tho countless
enemies that beset his patli fiom the

Hows for n. thousand miles bet'oie It enters
the Valley Dor. ns to reach tlio very walls
of the Temple of Issus; but what Tate awaits
nno there not even the holy tlieins may
guess, for who has passed within those
glided walls never has relumed to unfold
tho mysteries they hnvo held since the
beginning of time.
"Tho Temple uf Issus Is tn the thetns
what the Valley Dor is iningined by the
peoples of tho outer vvotld to lie tn them;
it is tlio ultimate haven ot pence, refuge,
and hnppliHss to w libit tliey pass after this
llfo and wherein an eternity ot eternities Is
spent timid tlio delights nt tlio liesh which
appeal most strongly to this race of mental
giants and moial pjgmies."
"Tlio Templo of Issus Is, I take it, a
heaven within a, heaven," I said. "Lot us
hopo that thero It will bo meted to the
Hum us aa they have moled it heto unto
otliois."
"Who knows?" the girl murmured.
"Tho thorns. I Judgo from what you have
said, aro no less mortal than we; and yet
havo I always heard them spoken of with
tho utmost awe and teverenco by tho people
