'"Thoso who dlo beforo nro supposed to
Ipend tho remainder of their allotted tlmo In
tho Imago of a plant man, and It Is for this
reason thnt tho plant men are held sacred
by tho thorns, since they bcllovo that each
of these hideous creatures was formerly a
Ihern."
"And should a plant man die?" I asked.
"Should ho dlo beforo tho expiration of
tha thousand years from tho birth of tho
thcrn, whoso Immortality abides within
him, then tho noul passes Into a Rreat whlto

moons when tho sun has Bono nnd strango
lhapes walk through tho Valley Dor."
'TVo sent several holy thorns to tho
llllans today, then," snld Tars Tarkas,
laughing.
"And so will your death bo tho moro ter
rible when It comes," said the maiden. "And
como It will. You cannot escape"
"One has escaped, centuries nBo," I re
minded her, "nnd what has been dono may
be dono again."
"It Is useless even to try," sho answered
hopelessly.
"But try wo shall," I cried, "nnd you
thall go with us, If vou wish'"
'To bo put to death by mlno own peo
ple, and render my memory a dlsgraca to
my family and my nation? A pilnco of
tho houso of Tardos Morn should know bet
ter than to suggest ouch a thing."
Tars Tarkns listened In silence, but I
could feel his eyc3 riveted upon me and I
knew that ho awaited my answer an nne
might listen to the reading of his sentence
by the, foreman of a jury.
yfhat I ndvlsed tho girl to do would seal
cur fate as weir, since. If I bowed to the
Inevitable decree of ago-old superstition,
at must all remain and meet our fato In
some horrible form within this awfut abode
of horror and cruelty.
"We have tho right to escapo If we can,"
i answered. "Our own moral senses will
not bo offended If wo succeed, for wo know
that tho fabled llfo of lovo nnd poaco n tho
blessed alley of Dor Is a rnnk nnd wicked
deception,
"Wo know that the valley Is not sacred,
we know that tho holy therns aro not
holy; that they aro a raco of cruel and
heartless mortals, no moro cognizant of tho
reai me to como than wo.
"N'ot only Is it our right to bend overy
effort to escape It Is a solemn duty from
which wo should not shrink, even though
wo knew that wo should bo reviled and
tortured by our own peoples when wo ro
turned to them.
"Only thus mnv wo carry tho truth to
those without, and though tho likelihood
of our narratlvo bolng belloved Is remote,
wo would ho craven cowards wero wo to
Bhlrk tho plain duty which confronts us.
"Again, theio Is a clianco that with
tho weight of tho testimony of Boxornl of
Us tho truth of our statements may bo
accepted, nnd at least a compromlso ef
fected which will result In tho dispatching
of an expedition of Investigation to this
hideous mockery of heavon."
Hoth tho girl and tho green warrior stood
silent In thought somo moments. Tho
former It was who eventually broko tho
silence
"Never had I considered tho mattor In
that light beforo," sho said. "Indeed would
1 givo my llfo a thousand times It I could
but b.ivo a stnglo soul from the awful llfo
that I have led In this cruel place. Yea,
you nrs right, and I will go with you an
far ns wo can go ; hut I doubt that wo evor
shall escape."
I turned an Inquiring glance toward tho
Thnrle.
"To tho gates of Issus, or to tho bottom
of Korus," spoke the green warrior ; "to tho
snows to tho north or to tho snows to the
south, Tars Tarkns follows whero John
Carter leads. I have spoken."
"Let us go," I cried. "Wo nlust mako tho
start, for wo could not bo further from
escapo than wo now nro, In tho henrt ofj
this mountain and within tho four walls
of this chamber of death "
"Come, then." said tho girl, "but do not
flatter yourself that you can find no worso
place than this within tho territory of tho
therns."
So saying, sho swung tho secret panel
that separated us from the npartment In
which I had found her, nnd wo stopped)
through onco moro Into tho presenco of tho
other prisoners.
Thero wore In all ten red Martians, men
nnd women, nnd when we had briefly ojo
plnlned our plan they decided to join foroes
with us, though It was evident that It was
with somo considerable misgivings that they
thus tempted fate by opposing an nnclent
superstition, oven though each know through
cruel ccperlenco the fullncy of Its cntlio
fabric.
Thtivla, tho girl whom I had first freed,
Tarkas and I stripped tho bodies of the
two thorns of their weapons, which in
cluded swords, daggers and two rovolvers
ot the curious and deadly type manufac
tured by the red Martians.
Wo distributed tho weapons ns far as
they would go among our followers, giving
tho firearms to two of tho women, Thin la
being ono so armed.
With tho latter as our guide wo set off
rapidly but cautiously through a mazo of
passages, crossing great chambers hewn
fiom the solid metal of the cliff, following
winding cortldors, ascending btecp Inclines,
and now nnd again concealing ourselves In
dark recesses nt tho sound of approaching
footsteps
Our destination, Thuvla said, was n
distant stororoom whero arms nnd ammu
nition In plenty might bo found. Sho was
to lead us to tho summit of tho cliffs, from
whore It would require both wondrous wit
and mighty fighting to win our way through
tho very heart of tho stronghold ot tho holy
thorns to tho world without.
"And oven then, O prince," Bhe cried,
"tho arm of tho holy thorn Is long. It
reaches to overy nation of Carsoom. Ills
secret temples nro hidden In the heart of
every community.
"Wherever we go, should wo escnpo, wo
shall find that word ot our coming has
preceded us, and death awaits us beforo
wo may" polluto tho air with our blasphe
mies." Wo had proceeded for nosslblv an hour
without serious Interruption, nnd Thuvla
had Just whispered to mo that wo wero
approaching our first destination when on
entering a great chamber wo camo upon a
man, evidently a thcrn.
Ho woro In addition to his leathern trnp
plngs and Jeweled ornaments a great
circlet of gold nbout his brow, In tho exact
contro of which was sot an Immcnso
stono, tho exact counterpart of that which
I had seen upon tho breaBt of tho llttlo
old man nt tho atmosphere plant nearly
twenty years before.
It Is tho ono priceless Jewel of Uarsoom.
Only two nro known to exist, nnd thoso
word worn ns Insignia of rank nnd position
by tho two old mon In whoso chnrgo wao
plaoed tho operation of tho great engines
which pump tho nrtlflclnl atmosphere to
nil parts of Mars from tho hugo utmos-
phero plant.
Tho stono worn by tho them who con
fronted us was of about tho samo slzo
an that which I had boforo seen, nn Inch
In dlam.eter, I should Bay, It scintillated
nlno different and distinct rays; tho sovon
primary colors of our earthly prism, and
tho two rays which nro unknown upon
earth, hut whoso wondorous beauty Is In
describable. Aa tho thcrn saw us his eyes narrowed
to two nasty silts.
"Stop"' ho cried. "What means Mils,
Thuvla?"
Tor answer tho girl raised her revolver
and fired polntblnnk at him Without n
sound ho sank to tho earth, dend.
"Henst!" sho hissed "After all these
years I am at last revenged "
Then an she turned toward mo, ovl
dently with a word of explanation on
her lips, her eyes suddenly widened na
they rosted upon me, nnd with a llttlo
eclamatlon sho stnrtcd toward mo
"O prlnee!" sho cried, "fate Is Indeed kind
to us. Tins way Is still dllllcult, but through
this IIn thing upon tho lloor wo mny yet
win to the outer world Notcst thou not tho
resemblance botween this holy thcrn and
thyself?"
Tho man was lnd::d of my preclso stat
uro nor wero his eyes and features unlike
mlno; but his h.ilr was n mnss of flowing
yellow locks, llko thoso of tho two I had
killed, whllo mlno Is black and closo
cropped. "What of tho resemblance?" I usked the
girl "Do you wish me, with my black,
shoit hair, in pose ns a yellow-haired priest
of this Infernal cult?"
She smiled, and for answer approached
tho body of tho man sho hnd slain, and
kneeling besido It, removed tho circlet of
gold from tho forehead, and then, to my
utter amazement, lifted tho entire scalp
bodily from tho corpso's bend.
Illslug. Mio advanced to my side, nnd
placing the yellow wlif over my black hair,
crowned mo w Ith tho goldon clrclot fcet with
tho magnificent gem.
".Vow don this liarnoss, prlnco," sho snld,
"and you may pabs where you will In tho
realms of tho thorns, for Sator Throg was
a holy thern ot tho touth cycle, nnd mighty
among his kind "
As I stooped to tho dead man to do her
bidding I noted that not a hair grew upon

K , FAITH IN YOURSELF
r Once upon a time thero was a little boy and he had a mother, tho little
' boy did, and sho was always saying to him: "Now, James (Mister Printer:
' This was not his name, but it will do), I want you to go to tho well and got
eomo water. Now, go to tho well and don't break the pitcher, you ARE so
, careless." '
Well, James would go to the well, and sure enough, he would spill tho
water or break the pitcher, and his dear mother would say: "THERE, didn't
I tell you so? Naughty boyl"
This boy grew up to bo a man, as some boys do nnd others do not, and
when he was 21 ho got a position in a grocery store and thero he stayed and
itnyed and tho good man who kept 'the grocery store did not raiso tho man's
talary because the man did not ask for it and did not desorvo it. Ho did not
have confidence in himself. Finally ho died, and no ono over thought any moro
about him. "
Well, once upon a time there was another boy and he had a mother, but
ihe was not like the first boy's mother, for sho thought her boy was tho only
boy on earth and that ho was JUST ABOUT RIGHT.
AND SHE SAID SO, TOO.
Sho told him so many times that he was the greatest boy on earth that
anally he began to think so himself; yes ho did.
Conceited? Well, just a mite, but tho big world had to take off its hat
to him, for ho WAS a great boy; yes, indeed!
HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF. Try it this summer.

The Fairy and the Prince

Onco upon a time there was a prince,
a wicked prince wns he One day as he
was trailing with his soldiers he saw a
fairy. Ho said the fairy bhnuld be killed.
The soldiers wero going to kill her when
sho changed tho prince Into a monkey and
his soldiers, too.
A little later the prince's enemy came
along with his army and saw all the
monkeys. He was going to kill them, as
they looked wild. Just then the fairy
appeared and changed them back to men.
She had a kind heart and helped them
escapo.
This goodness of the fairy taught the
cruel prince a lesson that ho never forgot.
Things to Know and Do
1. Johnnie took the word ABLE, spanked
It because Jt was zero tea, I mean naughty,
added a letter to It and make a kind ot fur.
Then he chopped the whiskers off Uncle
Sam (I mean he chopped some letters oft
Undo and some oft Sam) and put them on
ABLE so you could use It
The door bell rang and Johnnie answered
it. The taller was trim a plase you can
make by putting the first and 3 1st week In
front of the stcond ord Johnnie made.
I guess that's all, except the last word
Johnnie made begins with "C" and ends
with "able" and has seven letters. What
four words was Johnnie ABLE to make
from ABLE?
2. Mrs. Fuss-button has two children.
She sent one to get some HEAVENS ROCK
ETS at the tfrocery etoro for July i, and the
Hr? .J?-,06 toy Btr" to B eomo
NEEDLE WHEELS. What did the two
darlings briny noma?
CHAPTER V
Through tlio Golden CI I Its
HOW long I slept upon tho floor of the
storeroom I do not know, but It must
have been many hours
I was awakened with a start by cries of
alarm, and scarce wero my eyes opened,
nor had I yet sufficiently collected my wits
to qulto reallzo whero I was, when n fus
lllado of shots rang out., roverboratlng
through the subterranean corridors In a ser
ies of tlenfenlng echoes.
In nn Instant I was unon mv feet. A
dozen lesser therns confronted us from a
largo doorwny at tho opposite end of tho
storeroom from that which wo had entered.
About mo lay tho bodies of my companions,
with the exception of Thuvla nnd Tars
Tarkas, who, Ilka myself, had beon asleep
upon tho floor nnd thus escaped tho first
raking fire.
As I gained my feet tho therns lowered
tholr wicked rifles, their fnecs distorted In
mingled chagrin, consternation and nlarm.
Instantly I ro30 to tho occasion
"What moan3 this?" I cried In tones
of fierce nnger. "Is Sator Throg to be
murdered by 'his own vassals?"
"Have mercy, O master of the tenth
cyclo !" cried ono of tho fellows, whllo tha
others edged toward the doorway ns though
t-. attempt a surreptitious escapo from tho
presence of tho mighty one
"Asu them tholr mlsMon hero." whlsnered
Thuvla at my elbow
"What do you hero, fellows?" I cried.
"Two from tho outer world aro nt largo
within the dominions of the thorns. Wo
sought them at tho command of tho father
of therns, Ono was whlto with black hair,
tho other a huge green warrior."
Here the fellow cast a suspicious glanco
toward Tars Tarkas.
"Here, then, Is ono of them," spolco
Thuvla, Indicating tho Thark, "and If you
will look upon this dead mnn by tho door
perhaps you will reeignlzo the other. It
was left for Sator Throg and his poor slavos
to accomplish what the lesser therns of tho
guard were unable to do wo have killed
ono and captured the other For this has
Sntor Throg given uh our liberty. And now
lit your stupidity hae you come and killed
nil but myself, nnd llko to have killed tho
mighty Sator Throg hlrr-iclf"
The men looked very sheepish and very
scarod.
"Had they not better throw these bodies
to the plant men and then return to their
quarters, O mighty one?" asked Thuvla of
me.
"Yes; do ns Thuvla bids you," I said.
As the men picked up tho bodies I noticed
that tho one who stooped to gather up tho
late Sator Throg started as his close
scrutiny fell upon the upturned face, and
then the fellow stole a furtive, snnnitin..
glance In my direction from the corner of
Ilia eyo.
That he susplcloned something of the
truth I could have sworn, but that It was
only a suspicion which he did not dare
voice was evidenced by his silence.
Again, as he bore the body from the
room, he shot a quick but searching1 glance
toward me, and then his eyes fell once
more upon the bald nnd shiny dome of the
dead man in his arms The last fleeting
glimpse that I obtained of his profile as
ho passed from my sight without the
chamber revealed a cunning smile of
triumph upon his lips.
Only Tars Tarkas, Thuvla. and I were
left. The fatal marksmanship of the therns
had snatched from our companions what
ever slender chance they had of gaining
the perilous freedom of the world.
So soon as the last of the gruesome pro
cession had disappeared the girl urged us
to take up our flight once more.
She, too, had noted the questioning atti
tude of the thern who had borne Sator
Throg away.
"It bodes no good for us, O prince " she
said. "For. even though this fellow dared
not chance accusing you In error, there be
those above with power sufficient to de
mand a closer scrutiny, and that, prince,
would Indeed prove fatal."
I shrugged my shoulders. It seemed that
In any event the outcome of our plight
must end In death. 1 was refreshed from
my sleep, but still weak from loss of blood.
My wounds were painful, No medicinal
aid seemed possible, How I longed for the
almost miraculous healing power of the
strange, salves nnd lotions of the green
martlan women! Jn an hour they would
have had me as new.
I was discouraged. Never had a feeling
of such utter hopelessness come over me in
the face of danger Then the long, flow
ing yellqw locks of the holy thern, caught
by sonje vagrant draft, blew about my
face.
I Hlght they riot still open, the way to; free
dom? If wo aotod In time, might wo not
oven yet escnpo beforo thu general alarm
was sounded7 Wo could nt least try.
"What will tho fellow do first, Thuvla?"
I asked. "How long will It bo beforo they
may return for us?"
"Ho will go directly to tho father of
therns, old Matal Slump Ho may havo to
wait for nn nudlonco, but Blnco ho Is very
high among tho lesser therns In fact, a
thorlan among them It will not bo long
that .Matal snang will keep him waiting.
"Then, If tho fathor of therns puts
credenco In his Btory, another hour will
seo tho galleries and chambers, the courts
nnd g.irdons filled with searchers "
"What wo do then must bo dono within
nn hour. What Is tho best way, Thuvla,
tho shortest way out of this celestial
hades?"
"Straight to tho top of tho cliffs, prince,"
sho replied, "and then through tho gardens
to tho Inner courts. From thero our way
will llo within tho temples of tho therns
and acrosB them to tho outer courts Thou
the ramparts Oh, prlnco, It Is hopeless !
Ten thousand wnrrlcrs could not hew a
way to liberty from out this awful place!
"Slnco tho beginning of time, llttlo by
little, stono by stono, havo tho therns been
ever adding to the defenses of their strong
hold A continuous lino of Impregnable
fortifications circles tho outer slopes of
tho Mountains of Otz.
"Within the temples that llo behind tho
ramparts a million fighting men are over
loady. Tho courts and gardens nre filled
with slaves, with womon nnd with children.
"Xono could go a stone's throw without
detection "
"If there Is no other way, Thuvla, why
dwell upon tho dltncultlos of this? Wo must
faco them "
"Can wo not better make, the attempt
after dark?" asked Tars Tarkas. "Thero
would seem to be no chanco by day."
"Thero would bo a llttlo better chanco bv
night, but even then tho ramparts are well
guarded ; possibly better than by day. Thero
aro fewer abroad In tho courts and gardens,
though," said Thuvla.
"What Is tho hour7" I asked
"It was midnight when you released mo
from my chains," said Thuvla. "Two hours
later wo reached the storeroom. Thero you
slept for 14 hours It must now bo nearly
sundown again. Come, we will go to somo
nearby window In the cliff nnd mako suro."
So saying, she led the way through wind
ing corridors until nt n sudden turn wo
camo upon an opening which overlooked tho
Valley Dor.
At our right the sun was setting, a hugo
red orb, beneath tho wostorn rango of Otz.
A littlo below us stood the holy thcrn on
watch upon his balcony. His scarlet robe of
ofllco was pulled tight about him In antici
pation of the cold that comes so suddenly
with darkness as tho sun sets.
