IT BCCAMn Intensely cold. Breathing
was dlfllcu.lt. The girl, Phaldor. and the
I. lUClt pirate kept their oyes glued upon me.

There was no fear In her voice. It was
one mlcht say: "You had better carry
;' w umbrella. It Is Rolng to rain."
I dropped the vessel quicitiy to a lower
liri.' Nor was I a moment too soon. Tho
lrl hM swooned.
t The Diacic. too, vna unconscious, winio i
' myself retained my senses. I think, only
lr-hecr wfll. The ono on whom nil re
sponsibility rests is apt to endure tho moit.
We were swlnrjlng along low aboe tho
foothills of the Otz. It was comparatively
warm and there was plenty of nlr for our
ihirTtd lunps, so 'I was not surprised to
its the black open his eyes, nnd n moment
Uter the girl also.
"It was a close call," sho said.
'"It has taught me two things, though," I
replied.
iTYhat?"
'That oven Phaldor. daughter of the mas
ter of life and death, Is mortal," I said.
tmllliif.
"There Is immortality only In Issus." she
replied, ,"And Issus 13 for the race of
therna alone. Thus am I Immortnl."
t'cwiht a fleeting grin passing across
tie features of the black as he heard her
fi . ,d not then understand why he
smiled. Later I was to learn, nnd Bhe, too,
In a most horrlblo manner.
"If the other thing yon have Just learned,"
she continued, "hut led to ns erroneous
deductions ns the first, you nro little richer
In knowledge than you were before "
"The other," I replied, "is that our dusky
friend here dq.es not hnll from the nearer
moon ho wns near death at a Tew thou
sand feet above Iinrsoom. Had we con
tinued the B000 miles that lie between
Thurla nnd the planet, he would have been
but the frozen memory of n, mnn."
Phaldor looked nt the black In evident
nstonlihment.
"If you are not of Thurla, then where?"
sho asked.
He shrugged his shoulders and turned
his eyes elsewhere, but did not reply.
The girl stniuped her little foot In n per
emptory mnnner.
"Tho daughter of Matnl Shang Is not
accustomed to having her queries remain
unanswered," sho said. "Ono of the lesser
breed should feel honored that a member
of the holy race that wna born to Inherit
life ctorrtal should deign even to notlco
him"
Again the black smiled that wicked, know
ing smile.
Xodar, Dotar of the first born or Bar
soom. Is accustomed to give commands,
not to receive, them," replied tho black
Pirate. Then, turning to me: "What arc
your Intentions concerning me?"
"I Intend taking you both back to Heli
um," I snld. "No harm will come to you.
You will find the red men of Helium a
kindly nnd mngnanlmous race; but If they
listen to mo there will be no more voluntary
pllgrlmngos down tho nivor Iss, nnd tho
Impossible belief that they havo cherished
for nges will bo shattered Into a thousand
pieces,"
"Are you of Helium?" ho asked
"I nm a prince of tho House of Tardos
Mors, Jcddnk of Helium," I replied, "hut I
nm not of Bnrsoom. I am of nnother
world "
Xodnr looked nt mo Intently for a few
moments.
"I can well bellovo that you are not of
Bnrsoom," he said at length. "None of this
world could have b;stcd eight of the first
born single-handed. But how Is It that you
wear the golden hair and tho Jeweled cir
clet of a holy thern?" He emphasized tho
word holy with a touch of Irony.
"I had forgotten them," I said. "They
nro tho spoils of conquest ;" and with a
sweep of my hnnd I removed tho dlsgulso
from my head.
When the black's eyes fall on my close
cropped black hilr they opened In nston
Ishmcnt. Evidently ho had looked for tho
bald pate of a thern.
"Yen are lndi 1 of another world," ho
fcald, a touch of awe In his voice. "With tho
ckln of 11 1 hern, tho black hair of a first
horn, nnd tho muscles of a dozen Dotnrs,
It wore no disgrace even for Xodar to
rcktiowledge your supremacy. A thing ho
could never do, were you a Bnrsoomlan,"
ho ndded
"You nro traveling several lap") ahead of
mo, my friend," I Interrupted. "I glean
that your nnmo Is Xodar 1 but whom, pray,
aro tho first born, nnd what a. Dotar, and
why, If you were conquered by a Bnr
soomlan, could you not acknowledge It?"
"Tho first horn of BarBoom," he explained,
"arc the rnco ot black men of which I am
a Dntar, or, as the lesser Barsoomlans
would any, prince. My raco Is the oldest
on tho planet.
"Wo traco our lineage, unbroken, direct
to tho tree of life which flourished In the
centre of the Valley Dor twenty-three mil
lion years ago.
"For countless ages the fruit of this
tree underwent the gradual changes of
oolutlon. passing by degrees from true
plnnt life to a combination of plant nnd
animal.
"In tho first stages the fruit of the treo
possessed only tha power of Independent
muscular notion while, the stem remained
attached td tho parent plant! later a brain
devoloped In the fruit, so that, hanging
there by tllolr long stems, they thought nnd
moved as Individuals.
"Then, with tho development of percep
tions, came a comparison of thorn; Judg
ments wera reached nnd compared, and
thus reason nnd tho power to reason were
born upon Barsoom.
"Ages passed Many forms of llfo came
and went upon tho treo of llfo, but still all
wero nttached to tho parent plant by stems
of varying length1).
"At length tho fruit upon the tree con
sisted In tiny plant men such at we now
see reproduced In such huge dimensions
In the Valley Dor, but still hanging to the
limbs and branches of th6 treo by tho stems
which grow from the tops of their heads.
'Tho buds from which the plant men
blossomed resembled large nuts nbout a
foot In dlnmotor divided by double pirtltlon
wnlls Into four sections In ono section
grew tho plnnt mnn. In nnother a 16-lrgged
worm, In tho third the progenitor of tho
white npe, nnd In tho fourth tho primeval
black man of Barsoom.
"When tho bud burst tho plant man re
mained dnngtlng nt the end of his stem,
but tho three nther sections fell to the
ground, whero tho efforts of their Impris
oned occupants to escape sent them hop
ping nbout In nil directions
'Thus ns time wont on nil Barsoom wns
covered with these Imprisoned creatures.
For countless nges they lived their long
lives within their hard nhells, hopping nnd
skipping nbout the broad planet j fnlllng
Into rivers, lakes nnd sens, to be still fur
ther spread nhout the surface of the new
world.
"Countless billions died before tho first
black mnn broke through his prison walls
Into tho light of day. Prompted by curios
ity he brnko open the other shells, and the
peoplo of Bnrsoom commenced.
"Tho puro strain of the blood of this
first black man has remnlned untnlntcd by
nil mix tu ro with other creatures In tho race
of which I am a member; but from the
lG-legged worm tho flrtit white apo nnd
renegado black men hns sprung every other
form of animal llfo upon Barsoom
"The therns" nnd ho smiled m'allclously
as he spoke "are but tho result of ages
01 evolution from the puro white npe of an
tiquity. They aro of a lower order still.
There Is now hut ono raco of truo and
Immortal humans on Barsoom. It Is tho
race of black men.
'Tho treo of llfo Is dead, but beforo It
died the plant mn learned to detach them
solvos from It nnd ronm the fnco of Bar
soom with the other children of the llrst
parent.
"Now their hlscxunllty permits them to
reproduce themselves after the manner of
truo plants, but otherwise they have
progressed but little In all tho ages of their
existence.
"Their nctlons nnd movements nro large
ly mnttorH of Instinct, nnd not guided to
any great extent by reason, slnco tho brain
of a plnnt mnn Is but a trlflo larger than
tho end of your smallest finger. They llo
upon vegotatlon and tho blood of nnlmals,
nnd their brain Is Just lnrgo enough to
direct tholr movements In the direction of
food, and to translate the food sensations
which nre carried to It from their eyes and
ears
'They have no sense of self-preservation,
and so nro entirely without fear In
tho face of danger. That Is why they nro
such terrlhlo nntngonlsts In combat."
I wondered why tho black man took such
pilns to diHcourso thus nt length to ene
mies upon tho genesis of llfo Bar3oomlan.
It seemed a strangely Inopportune moment

THE LIGHTHOUSE
nnr.f niilHr-rn Snmn of vou live in the country, far from the big
wide ocean, while others live on tho shores of the sea. Still others live in the
f Mountains. I hope thi3 summer to talk to you about tho sea and also about
the mountains. Thcro is a lot of good in the salt air and a lot to be gained
I" fam living in the woods. I hope you all enjoy your summer. YOU ARE
i: ENTITLED TO HAPPINESS.
I, I must tell you today of a talk I had with a lighthouse keeper.
I ' I asked him why wo all, that is, you and I (the United States Government),
tad to pay for lighthouses.
"What good is a lighthouse to a man in tho Rocky Mountains?" I asked
the wan.
"Some day that man may want to cross tho ocean, and when he does his
Tessel will pass this licht. Then a man will call out to another man and
, it will be recorded that the steamer, or whatever tho boat may be, has
paased this light nnd that will help the pilot in his course."
And so it should be in this world, dear children; wo should all be helpers.
Think of the lighthouse there in the night silent, alone, yet always
f lending out the cheerful rays of light which tell the mariner whore he is.
, Some lighthouses have a steady light which shines right straight out all
through the night, while others "flash" every 10 or more seconds. At some
f points there are two lighthouses and some have red lights.
Other nations beside ours havo lighthouses, and so you see thnt all the
world is trying to be helpful, even though there aro wars.
Those of you who live far away from a lighthouse and who want one for
your very own, should let TRUTH be your lighthouse.
Can YOU suggest a better lighthouse? FARMER SMITH,.

JIMMY MONKEY AND THE CRAB
By Farmer Smith
"I was wondering," began Jimmy Monkey
ono nftcrnoon as ho carofully burled tho
Baby Baboon's toes In the sand, "I was
wondorlns which Is tho stronger, tho left
clnw of a lobster or the rlcht one."
"I'm not a lobster-oloBlst, but I know
how to nnd out," replied tho Ilnby Baboon,
proudly.
"How?" Jimmy moved cbser.
"Just htlck jjour tall In first one clnw and
then tho other nnd nnd then you'll know
see?"
"Yes, but I don't want to stick my beauti
ful tnll In n lobster's claws," said Jimmy.
"You do It."
"You don't, don't you? Well, you arc
the one wanting to ltrow about lobsters'
claws. I don't want to know. You ought to
bo willing to pay for tho Information "
"All tight!" miBWered Jimmy. "But I'll
tell you what would be the better Idea. You
slick your tall In tho left claw and I'll stick
my tall In tho right cl.iw and tho one that
yells tho louder will bo bitten by tho
stronger clnw see?"
"Yos," leplled tha Baby Baboon. "But
who will be tho Judgo?"
"Tho lobster, of course." answered
Jimmy.
So they went off, arm In nrm, searching
for a lobster.

Omcan
Now I realized why the black pirate had
kept mo engrossed with hlB strnngo tale.
For miles ho had sensed the approach of
succor; and but for thnt single tell-tale
glnnco tho battleship would havo been di
rectly nbovo us In another moment, and tha
boarding party, which wns doubtless even
now swinging In tholr harness from the
ship's keel, would have swarmed our deck.
I wns too old a hand In aerial warfare
to bo at a loss now for the right maneuver.
Simultaneously I reversed the engines and
dropped tho llttlo vessol a sheer hundred
feet.
Above my head I could soe the dnngllng
forms of the boarding party as tho battle
ship raced over us. Then I rose at a sharp
angle, throwing my speed lever to Its last
notch.
Llko a bolt from a crossbow, my splendid
craft shot Its steel prow straight nt the
whirring propellers of tho giant above us.
If I could but touch them the huge bulk
would bo disabled for hours, ond escapo
onco moro possible.
At tho same instant the sun shot above
the horizon, disclosing a hundred grim,
black faces peering over the stern of tho
battleship upon us.
At Bight of us a shout of rage went up
from a hundred throats. Orders wero
shouted, but It was too late to savo the
glnnt propellers and with a crash we ram
med them.
Instantly with tho Bhock of Impact I
rovorsed my engine, but my prow was
wedged In tho hole It had mado In tho bat
tleship's stern. Only a second I hung there
bofore tearing away, but that second was
amply long to swarm' my deck with black
devils.
Thero was no fight. In tho llrst plnce
there was no room to fight. We were sim
ply submerged by numbers. Then, ns
swords menaced me, a command from
Xodar stayed tho hands of his fellows.
"Secure them," ho said; "but do not In
Jure them."
Several of tho pirates nlready had re
leased Xodar. Ho now personally attended
to my disarming, and saw that I was
properly bound. At least he thought that
the binding was xecuie.
It would have been had I been a Martian,
but I had to smile at the puny strands that
confined my wrists. When tho time came
I could snap them as If they had been cot
ton string
Tho girl they bound also, and then they
fastened us together. In the meantime they
had brought our craft alongside tho disabled
battleship, and soon we were transported to
the Intter's deck.
Fully a thousand black men manned the
great engine of destruction. Her decks
were crowded with them as they pressed
forward as far as discipline would permit
to get a. glimpse of their captives.
The girl's beauty elicited many brutal
comments and vulgar Jests. It was evi
dent that these self-thought supermen
wero far Inferior to tho red men of Bnr
soom In refinement and In chivalry.
My close-cropped black hair and thern
complexion were the subjects of much
comment. When Xodar told his fellow
nobles of my fighting ability and strango
origin they crowded about me with numer
ous questions.
The fact that I wore the harness and
metal of a thern who had been killed by
a member of my party convinced them that
I was an enemy of their hereditary foes,
and placod me on a better footing in their
estimation.
Without exception the blacks were
handsome men and well built. The ofllcers
were conspicuous through the magnlficenqa
of their resplendent trappings. Many har
nesses were so encrusted with gold, plati
num, silver and precious stones as to en
tirely hide the leather beneath.
The harness of the commanding officer
was a, solid mas3 of diamonds. Against
tho ebony background of his bkln they
blazed out w'th a peculiarly accentuated
effulgence. The whole scene was enchant
Ir.ir The handsome men, the barbaric splen
dor of their accoutrements, the polished
bkeel wood ot the deck, the gloriously
grained sorapus of the cabins. Inlaid with
priceless jewels and precious metals In
Intricate and beautiful design; the burn
Uhe4 gold handrails, tho shining metal of
tho guns,
Phaldor and I were taken below decks,
where, still fast bound, we were thrown
Into a. small compartment which contained
only a slnglo porthole. As our escort left
us they barred the door behind them.
We could bear the men working on the
propellera, and from the port-hole we could
see that the vessel was drifting lailly to
ward tha south.

CORSETS IN SEVERAL MODELS
Beginning Saturday, July 1st, 1916
As announced last week, the scarcity and
high cost of nearly all corset materials has com
pelled us to INCREASE the RETAIL PRICE
of several Nemo models from $3.00 to $3.50,
beginning Saturday, July 1st. Included are the
following numbers:
SELF.REDUCING-No. 310, 315, 316,) rWPrko

MATERNITY No. 300 1 O--
KUrShKYlUi NOS. 3U5, 3U7 . . . . After Jme3Q
This slight advance represents only a small
part of the higher cost of manufacturing. We
had to choose between raising prices or sacri
ficing quality, and
Nemo Quality Will Never Be Lowered
The same cause may compel an early advance
in the retail prices of other Nemo models.
