FOB Homo time neither of us cpolte. Each
was occuplfcd wlth,hla dwn thoughts.
For my part I was -wemderlnB as to the
rat of Tnrs Tnrlcaa and the Girl, Thuvla.
EVen If they Sllcoeeded 111 eluding pur
Billt. thoy must eventually fall Into the
hinds bt either red men or groom arid as
tutltlvcs from the Valley Dor they could
look tor but llttlo else than a swift and
terrible doath. ....
How I wished that I mlpht have actjom
Wthled them. It eeemed to me that I could
sot fall but Impress upon the Intelligent
d men of Dhrsoom the vtlcked deception
that cruel and senseless superstition had
bitted upon them.
Tardos Mors would bellove mo. Of that
' t was positive. And that ho would haVo
the courage of his convlctlbns my lthowledgo
ef his character assured me.
bejah Thorls would bellove me. Not
doubt as to that entered my head.
Thn thero wero a thousand of my red
ind green warrior frlonds whom I knew
would face eternal damhatlon gladly for my
sake. Lllte Tara'Tatkas, whero I Ibd they
vVtttld follow.
The girl and I wero linked together by a
rdpe which permitted Us to moVo only
ftb6Ut three or four feet from ono ahother.
TOen we had entered tho compartment we
hid, seated ourselves upon a low bench be
neath the porthole.
t The bench was the only rurrtlture of the
' fodhu It was of sorapuB wood. The floor,
celling and walls were of carborundum al-
timlnum, a light. Impenetrable composition
txtsnslvely utilized in the construction of
fithtlhg ships.
Al I had sat meditating upon the future
ray eyes had been riveted upon tho porthole,
Wilch w&B Just level with them as I sat.
.Suddenly I lobked toward Phaldor. She
M regarding me with a strange ex
jrilon I had not before soen upon her
fail. She was very beautiful then.
JAstaritly her whtto lids veiled her eyes,
and I thought I discovered a delicate flush
tinging her cheek, EWdently 3ho was em
barrassed at having been detected In the
act of staring at a lesser creature, 1
thought,
"Do you find tho study 'of the lower or-
li '"tereBtlna?" I asked, laughing.
She looked up again with a nervous but
relieved little laugh.
"Oh, very," she said. "Especially when
they have such excellent profiles."
It was my turn to flush, but I did not.
I felt that she was poking fun nl inc. nnd
I admired a brave heart that could look for
humor on tho road to death, and bo I
laughed with her.
"Do you know where wo aro going?" she
asked In a, low voice, fixing her gaze upon
me.
'To solve the mystery of the eternal
hereafter, I Imagine," I replied.
"I am going to a worse fata than that,"
she said with a little shudder.
"What do yoU mean?"
"I can only guess," alio replied, ''filnco
no them damsel of all tho millions that
hao been stolen away by black pirates
during tho ages they havo raided our
domains has over returned to narrate her
oxpetloncoi among them. That they never
take a man prisoner lends strength to the
belief that tho fata o( the girls they steal
Is worse than death."
"Is It not a just rotrlbutlont" I could not
help but ask.
"What do you meant"
"Do not the therna themselves do like
wise with the poor crcatutos whd take tho
Voluntary pilgrimage dowri tho Illver of
Mystery? Was hot Thuvla for 18 years
a plaything and a slave? Is It less than
just thai ybU should suffer as you have
caused others to suffer?"
"7ou dd not understand," she replied.
"Wo thems are a holy race. It Is an
honor to a lesser creature to be a stavo
among us. Did we not occasionally tsnvo
a few of the lower ordbrs that flont down
an unknown river to an unknown end, all
would become the prey ot the plant men
and tho apes."
"But do you not by every means en
courage the ouporEtltton among these ot the
outside world?" I argued. "That Is the
wickedest of your deeds, Can you tell me
why you foster the cruel deception 7"
"All life on Barsoom," she Bald, "Is cre
ated solely for the support ot tho rrtco of
thcrns. How olso could wo llVo did the
outer world not furnish our labor and our
food? Think you that a them would de
mean hlmsolt by labor?"
(I was disgusted, and I Imagine that I
showed It.
"You are an unbeliever now," sho con
tinued Bcntly, "but should we bo fortunate
enough to escape the clutches of tho black
pirates nnd como again to the court of
Matal Shang, I think that we Bhall find nn
argument" to convince you ot the error of
your ways. And" she hesitated "perhaps
we shall find a way to keep you As as
ono of us."
Again hor eyes dropped to the floor nnd a
faint color suffused her cheek.
I could not understand her meaning, nor
did I for a long time. Dojah Thorls was
wont to say that In somo things I was a
verltablo simpleton, and I guess that she
was right.
"I fear that I would 111 requite your
father's hospitality," I answered, "slnco tho
first thing that I BhoUld do were I a them
would be to set nn armed gUttrd at the
moUth of tho River las to o.scort thb poor,
deluded voyagers back to the outer world.

Sho looked at me really horror-struck.
"No, no," sho cried, "you must not say
such terribly BacrlleglOus things t you must
not even think them. Should they ever
guess that you entertained such frightful
'thoughts, should we chance to regain tho
temples of the thcrn.1, they would mete oUl
a frightful death to ybU. Not even my
my"agnln she flushed, and started bver
ngalo "not even 1 could Bavs yod."
I said no mofe. Uvldently It was use
less. She was even more steeped In Buper
sllllon than the Martians df ths outer1
wdrld.
They only worshiped a benUllful hope
for a life of lovd'nnd pcabo nnd happlnoss In
tho hereafter. The therna worshiped the
hideous plaht men and tho apeF, r at least
they reverenced them As the abodes of tho
departed spirits ot their own dead,
At thts point tho door Ot oUr prison opened
to admit Xodar.
Ho smiled pleasantly at me, and when
ho smiled his expression was kindly any
thing but cruel or vindictive.
"Slhco you cannot escape Uhdcr any clr
cumstahces," ho said, "I cannot sco -tho
necessity for keeping yoU confined hclotf.
I will cht ybur bonds and you may como
bn dock. ToU wilt witness something very
Interesting, and as you never shall return
to tho outer world It will do no harm to
permit you to see It, YoU wilt Bee what no
other than the First Born and their slaves
know the existence of tho subterranean
entrance to the Holy Iand( to tho real
heaven of Bareoom.
"It will be An excellent lesson for this
daughter of tho them," he added, "for Bhe
shall see the Temple of Issus, ahd Issue,
perchance, shall embrace her."
Phaldor's head went high.
"What blasphemy Is this, dog of a pirate?"
Bha cried. "Issus would wipe out your
entlro breed- and you If you ever camo
within sight of her tcmplo."
"You have much to learn, them," roptlcd
Xodar, with an Ugly smile, "nor do I envy
you the manner In which iou will learn It."
As we camo bn deck I saw to my sur
prise that tho .Vessel was passing bver ft
great field of snow and Ice. As far ns tho
eye could reach in any direction naught clso
was Visible.
There could be but one solution to tho
myBtery. We were above the south polar
Ico-cap. Only at the iioles of Mars li there
Ice or snow upon tho planet
No Blgn of life nppoared below us. Evi
dently we wero too fat south even for the
great fur-bearing animals which the Mar
tians bo delight In hunting.
Xodar was at my Aide As I stood look
ing out over tho Bhlp'B rati. '
"What course?" 1 asked him.
"A llttlo west of south," ho replied. "You
will see tho Ot Valley directly. Wo shall
skirt It for A fow hundred miles.
"The Otz Valley 1" I exclaimed. "But,
man, Is not thore whero lie tho domains of
tho thems from which I but Juet escaped?"
"Yes," nnowered Xodar, "You crossed
this ice-field last night In tho long chase
that you led us. Tho Ots Valley lies in ft
mighty depression at the south pole. It Is
sunk thousands of feet below the level of
tho surrounding country, llko n great round
bowl,
"A hundred miles from Its northern boun
dary rlso tho Otz Mountains, which circle
tho inner valley of Dor, In tho exact centre
of which lies tho Sea of Korus On tho
shore of this sea stands tho golden temple
ot Issus In the Land of the First Born. It is
there that we are bound."
As I looked I commenced to realize
why it was that In all tho agea only ono
had escaped from the Valley Dor. My
only wonder was that even the one had
been successful. To crosi this frozen,
wind-swept waste of bleak Ice alone and on
Only by alrboat could the Journby bo
made," I finished aloud.
"It was thus that one did eecapo tho
thernS in bygono times; but none has ever
escaped the First Born," said Xodar, with
a touch ot pride In his voice.

GOING VISITING?
Dear Everybody At this season of the year llttlo girls and little boys
"go Visiting." That means, they go and stay awhile with friends or relatives.
I think it would be a good Idea to print a few remarks about the rules
which should govern those who visit. It is not tho easiest thing in theworld
to bo dropped right into somebody's house and "make yourself at home.
It is not easy for those who entertain you, either.
The main thing to remember when you go visiting Is this Do not bother
any ono and do not let any one bother you. ...
Try to take along wfth you everything which you will need during your
stay. Find out how long you aro invited for, nnd when the time is up, GO!
Do not stay a minuto "longer than your welcome.
No nmount of teasing should tempt you to stay. "Git up and git.
Find out when those whom you aro visiting like to REST and see that
you do not disturb them,
Be kind to tho servants whero you visit. Thoy havo extra work on
your account. If you havo candy, send some to the servants; nnd try, if you
can, to remember them with Home simple gift when you go away.
SERVANTS ARE, HUMAN.
Find out when the meals aro and BE THERE ON TIME. Nothing upsets
a household so much as being lato to meals.
Bo kind courteous considerate, and don't "BUTT IN." Never mind tho
slang.
And write homo often, if only a postal, card. FARMER SMITH,
Children's Editor.
P. S. You might tako this talk along with you, for it has taken mo
many years of visiting to know the simple things to put down here.

JUDGE LOBSTER
By Farmer Smith
You see. Jimmy Monkey and the Baby
Baboon couldn't agree as to which was
tho stronger, the left claw or the right
claw ot a lobster, so they agreed to con
sult Judge Lobster. Jimmy was to put his
tall In the right claw and the Baby Ba
boon was to stick his tall In the left claw
and then Judge Lobster was to bite.
The one yelling the louder decided which
claw waB the stronger,
Jimmy and the Baby strolled up the
beach, arm In arm, until they came to
where Judge Lobster lived. He was at
home and they carefully explained their
mission.
"Turn your tails around there and let
me see If I can help you decide," com
manded Judge Lobster.
They did so And pretty soon there was
such a big noise.
"Ouch-ou-ou!" went Jimmy.
"Oh, me! Oh, myl" whined the Baby,
After a bit the Judge said:
"Now, tell mo which Is the stronger, my
left claw or my right?"
"Your right!" exclaimed Jimmy,
"Your left!" shouted the Baby,
"You are both wrong," replied the Judge,
thoughtfully. "I didn't squeeze either tall.

At that the rascals scooted away.

tho lee-wnll oh tha north across the valley
as far nB the eyo conld reach.
"That Is tho bod of the River Iss," said
Xodar. It runs far beneath the Ice-field,
And below the level of tho Valley Otz,
but Its canyoh Is open here."
Presently I descried whnt I took to be
n village, and pointing It out to Xodar,
Asked him what it might be
"It Is A village of lost soUl3," ho answered,
laUghlng. "Thla strip botwoon tho Ice
barrier nnd the mountains la considered
neutral ground. Somo turn off from their
voluntary pilgrimage down the Is3, and
scaling tho nwfdl walls of Its canyon below
US', stop In thla valley. Also a slao now
nnd then escapes from tho therna nnd
makes his way hither.
"Thoy do not attempt to recapture such,
slnco there la no escape from this outer
valley, and as a matter Of fact they fear
the patrolling cruisers of tho 'First Born
too much to venture far from their own
domains.
"Tho poor creatUrea of this outer valley
aro not molested by us slnco thoy havo
nothing that we desire, nor aro they nu
merically strong enough to give us nn In
teresting fight ! so we, too, Icavo them nlono
"Thoro nro several villages of them, but
they have Increased In numbers but tittle
In many years, alnco they nro always war
ring nmong themselves "
Now, wo swung n, little north of west,
leaving tho valley of lost souls, and shortly
I discerned over our starboard bow what
appeared to bo n black mountain rising from
tho dcsolato wasto of Ice. H was not high
nnd soemed to havo a flat fop.
Xodar had left un to attend to somo
duty on tho cssel, nnd Phnldor nnd I stood
nlono besldo the rail. Tho girl had not
once spoken Blnco wo had been brought
to tho deck.
'Ta what ha has been telling me true?"
I asked hor.
"In part, yes," sho answered "That
about tho outer alley Is true, but what
ho saya of the location of the tcmplo ot
Issus In tho centfo of his country is false
If It 1b not falsi! " She hesltntod
"Oh, It cannot be true, It canrtot bo true
For If It were true, then for countless ngci
havo my people gono to tortdro and Ig
nominious death at the hands of their cruel
enemies, Instead of to the beautiful Ufa
eternal that we have been taught to bellcva
Issus holds for U3"
"As tho lesser Barsoomlani of tho outer
world h.wo been lured by you to the terrl
blo Valley Dor, so may It be that the thorns
themselves hao been lured by the First
Born to an equally horrid fate," I sug
gested. "It would bo a stern and awful
retribution, Phaldor: but a Just one."
"I cannot believe it," ehe said
"Wo shall see," I answered
Then we fell silent again, for wo wero
rapidly approaching tho black mountnln,
which In somo indefinable way seemed
linked with tho answer to our problem.
As we neared tho dark, tiuncatod cone
the cs3el's speed wni diminished until wo

of tho mountain and below us I saw yawn
