CHArxEIt IX (Continued).
TOWARD ono of these our captors led us,
and aftor a short walk halted before a
steel cago which lay at the bottom of a.
shaft rising above us as far as one could
tee.
The cago proved to bo ono of the com
mon types of clovator cars that I had
seen In other parts of Darsoom. They are
operated by means of enormous magnets
which are suspended at the top of tho
shaft. Dy an electrical device the volume
of magnetism generated la regulated and
the speed of the car varied.
In long Btretchos thoy move at a sicken
ing speed, especially on tho upward trip,
Since tho small force of gravity Inherent
to Mars results In very little opposition to
tho powerful force nbovo.
Scarcely had tho door of tho car closed
behind ua than wo were slowing up to stop
at tho landing nbovo, so rapid was our
ascent of tho long shaft.
When wo emerged from tho little building
Which houses the upper terminus of the
levator, we found ourselves In the midst
Of a verltablo fairyland of beauty. The
combined languages of earth men hold no
words to convey to tho mind the gorgeous
beauties of the scone.
Ono may speak of scarlet sward and
Ivory-stemmed trees docked with brilliant
purple blooms; of winding walks paved
with crushed rubles, with emerald, with
turquoise, with oven diamonds themselves ;
of a magnificent temple of burnished gold,
hand-wrought with marvelous designs; but
Where aro tho words to describe tho glo
rious colors that are unknown to earthly
eyes 7 Where the mind or the Imagination
that can grasp tho gorgeous scintillations
of unheard-of rays as thoy emanate from
the thousand nameless jewels of Barsoom?
Even my eyes, for long years accustomed
to the barbarlo splendor of a Martian Jed
dak's court, wero amazed at the glory of
the scene.
Phaldor's wero 'Wldo In 'amazement.
"Tho Temple of Issus," she whispered,
half to herself.
Xodar watched us with his grim smile,
partly of amusement nnd partly malicious
glontlng.
The rarden swarmed with brilliantly
trapped black men and women. Among
them moved red and white females serving
their every want. The palaces of tho outer
world and tho temples of the therns had
been robbed of their princesses and god
desses that the blacks might have their
slaves.
Through this scene wo moved toward tho
temple. At the main entranco wo wero
halted by a cordon of armed guards.
Xodar spoke a few words to an officer
who came forword to question Us. To
gether thoy entered the temple, whore they
remained for some time.
When they returned It was to announce
that Issus desired to look upon the daugh
ter of Matat Shang, and the strange, crea
ture from another world who had been
prlnco of Helium.
Slowly wo moved through endless cor
ridors of unthinkable beauty; through
magnificent apartments and noble halls. At
length wo were halted In a spacious cham
ber In tho centro of tho temple.
Ono of the officers who had accompanied
us advanced to a largo door In the further
end of the chamber. Hero ho must have,
mado somo sort of signal, for Immediately
the door opened nnd another richly trapped
courtier emerged.
Wo were then led up to the door, whero
we were directed to get down on our hands
and knees with our back toward tho room
wo were to enter. Tho doors wero swung
open and after being cautioned not to turn
our heads under penalty of Instant death,
wo wero commanded to back Into tho pres
ence of Issus.
Never havq I been In so humiliating a
position In my life, and only my love for
Dejah Thorls and the hope which still
clung to me that I might again aec, her
kept mo from rising to fnco the goddess ol
the First Dorn and go down to my death
like a gentleman, facing my foes and with
their blood mingling with mine.
After wo had crawled In this disgusting
fashion for a matter of a couple of hundred
feet wo wero halted by our escort.
"Let them rise," said a volco behind
us, n thin, wavering voice, yet ono that
had evidently been accustomed to command
for many years,
"Rise," said our escort, "but do not faco
toward Issus.
"Tho woman pleases me," said the thin,
wavering voice again after n few moments
of Bllen:e. "She shall servo mo tho allotted
time. Tho man you may return to the
Isle of Shador which lies against the north
ern shore of tho Sea of Omean.
"Let tho woman turn and look upon
Issus, knowing that those of tho lower
orders who gaze upon tho holy vision of
her radiant faco survive the blinding glory
but a Blnglo year."
I watched Phaldor from the corner of
my oye. Sho paled to a ghastly huo.
Slowly, very slowly, she turned, na though
drawn by somo Invisible yet Irresistible
force.
Sho was standing quite close to me, so
close that her bare arm touched mine as
sho finally faced Issus, goddess of Life
Eternal.
I could not see the girl's face as her
eyes rested for the first time on tho su
preme deity of Mara, but I felt the shud
der that ran through her In the trembling
flesh of the arm that touched mine.
"It must bo dazzling loveliness Indeed,"
thought I, "to cause Buch emotion In the
breast of so radiant a beauty aa Phaldor,
daughter of Matal Shang."
"Let the woman remain. Remove the
man. Go I"
Thus spoko Issus, and the heavy hand
of the officer fell upon my shoulder. In
accordance with his Instructions I dropped
to my hands and knees onco more and
crawled from the presence. It had been
my first audience with deity, but I nm
free to confess that I was not greatly Im
pressed other than with the ridiculous
figure I cut, scrambling about on my mar
rowbones. Once without the chamber the doors
closed bihlnd us and I was bidden to rise-
Xodar Jdncd me, and together we slowly
retraced our steps toward the gardens.
"You spared my life when you might
easily have taken It," he said after we
had proceeded some llttlo way In silence!
"and I would aid you If I might. I can
help to mako your life here more bearable,
but your fate Is Inevitable. You may never
hope to return to the outer world."
''What will bo my fate!" I asked.
"That will depend largely1 upon Issus. So
long as sho does not Bond for you and ro
veal her fnco to you Vol may live on for
years In ns mild a form of bondage aa I
can arrange for you."
"Why should sho send for mo?" I asked.
"The men of the lower orders she often
uses for various purposes of omusement.
Such a fighter an you, for example, would
render fine sport In the monthly rites of
tho temple. Then arc. men pitted against
men. and against beasts for the edification
of Issus nnd tho replenishment of her
larder." , ,
"Sho cats human flesh?" I asked.
Not In horror, however, for since my
recontly acquired knowledge of tho holy
therns I was prepared for anything In this
still less accessible heaven, whero all waa
evidently dictated by a single omnipotence
whero nges of narrow fanaticism and
nolf-worshlp had eradicated all tho brondor
humanitarian Instincts that tho race might
onco have possessed.
They wero a peoplo drunk with power
and success, looking upon tho other Inhab
itants of Mars ns we look upon tho beasts
of tho field nnd tho forest.
Why. thon, should thoy not cnt of tho
flesh of tho lower orders whose lives nnd
characters they no moro understood than
do wo tho Inmost thoughts nnd sensibilities
of the cattlo wo slaughter for our earthly
tables? ,. . . . ,
"Sho eats only the flesh of tho best bred
of tho holy therns nnd the red Barsoom
lana. The flesh of tho others goes to our
boards. The nnlmala nro eaten by the
slaves. Sho also eats other dainties."
1 did not undt-Btnnd then that thcro lay
any special significance In his reference to
other dainties. I thought tho limit of
ghoullshnois already hnd been reached In
tho recitation of Issus' menu. I still had
much to lenrn as to the depths of cruolty
nnd bestiality to which omnipotence may
drag Its possessor.
Wo had about reached tho last of the
many chambers and corridors which led
to tho gardens when an officer overtook us.
"Ibsub would look ngaln upon this man,"
ho sold. 'Tho girl has told her that ho Is
of wondrous beauty and of such prowess
that alono ho Blew seven of tho First Horn,
nnd with his bnro hands took Xodar cap
tive, binding him with his own harness."
Xodar looked uncomfortable. Evidently
he did not relish tho thought that Issus
had learned of his Inglorious defeat.
Without a word ho turned, and wo fol
lowed the officer once ngaln to tho closed
doors before tho audience chamber of Issus,
goddess of 'Life Eternal.
Hero tho ceremony of entranco was ro
peatod. Again Issus bado me rise.
For several minutes all was silent as
the tomb.
The eyes of deity wero appraising me.
Presently the thin, wavering volco broko
tho stillness, repeating In a sing-song drone
tho wordn which for countless nges had
sealed tho doom of numberless victims.
"Let the man turn and look upon Issus.
knowing that those of the lower orders
who gaze upon tho holy vision of her
radiant face survive the blinding glory but
a Blngle year."
I turned ns I was bade, expecting such
a treat as only tho revcalmcnt of divine

Each of us has a boss, ,
You have a boss, and it is very important for you to see who that boss is.
If you do not, you are likely to have more than ono boss, and that is discom

The little boy who was selling papers should have been his own boss. The
other boys had no business bothering him.

"Hoi Hoj let's have It." replied the Baby

"Let'a dig a hole to Europe."
" 'Tlsn't Europe, It's China you hit when

"It's all tho same to me all the same

"See what?"
"See the point," replied Jimmy. "But

And with that they .began to dig In the

By and by Jimmy said, "Do you see any

"Yes, yes, go on I"
"He's Just ready to ahoot the Monkey

skin of her fnco waa seamed nnd crossed
with a million deep-cut furrows. Her body
wns ns wrinkled as her faco, nnd as re
pulsive. Surrounding her were a number of fe
male slaves, nmong them Phaldor, white
nnd trembling.
"This Is tho man who Blow seven of tho
First Born, nnd, bnre-hnnded, bound Dator
Xodnr with his own harness?" nsked Issus.
"Most glorious vlBlon of dlvlno loxoll
ncss. It Is," replied tlio officer who stood
nt my side.
"Produco Dator Xodar," she commanded.
Xodar was brought from tho adjoining
room.
Issus glared at him, n, baleful light In
her hideous eyes.
"And such ns you are a dntor of tho
First Born7" she squealed. "For the dis
grace you hnvo brought upon tho Immortal
Haco you nhall bo degraded to a rank bo
low tho lowest.
"So longer bo you n dator, but forever
more a slne of slaves, to fetch nnd carry
for tho lower orders that servo In tho gar
dens of Issus. Rcmovo his harness. Cow
ards nnd slaves wear no trappings."
Xodnr stood stlflly erect. Not n musclo
twitched nor. n tremor shook his giant frame
as a soldier of tho guard roughly stripped
his gorgooUB trnpplngn from him.
"Begone I" screnmed the Infurlntcd llttlo
old woman. "Begone! but lnstend of tho

Slowly and with high-held head tho proud
Xodar turned and ntnlkcd from tho cham

room by another exit.
Turning to mo. Bho said: "You shall bo

Issus will Bee tho manner of your fighting.
Go."
Then Bhe disappeared, followed by her
retlnuo. Only I'hnldor lagged behind, nnd,
ns I started to follow my guard toward
the gardens, the girl camo running after mo.
"Do not leave mo In this terrible place,"
sho begged. "Forgive tho things I said to

"You did not understand the honor that

"If It wns difficult for me to understand

I do not wish to hurt you, nor to seem to

Phaldor stood looking at me Intently for
a moment. No anger showed In her eyes
this time, only a pathetic expression of
hopeless sorrow nnd resignation.
"I do not understand," she said, nnd,
turning, walked slowly in the direction of

The men alapped his face. The women

When I appeared they turned their at

"Let him bind Thurld," suggested a beau

"Yes, Thurld ! Thurld 1" cried a dozen

saw a huge black, weighted down with
resplendent ornaments and arms, advanc

"What now I" he cried. "What would

Quickly a dozen volcea explained.
Thurld turned toward Xodar, his eye nar
rowing to two nasty silts,
"Calot!" he hissed. "Ever did I think
you carried the heart of a aoralt In your
breast. Often have you bested me In the
secret councils of Issus, but now In the

when you see that tho Btnlns have loosened,
wash them out. The real washing folloyr.
