THE GOD S OF
Sequel to Under the Moons
By
EDGAR MCE BURROUGHS
Author of (he Tarzan Stories
CltAFTKIt XI (Continued).
POn my part, I wa9 fighting as I had
fought a thousand times before now
sidestepping quickly In to lot my sword's
point drink deep In a foeman's heart before
It burled Itself In the throat of hla com
panlon.
We were having a merry tlmo of It, wo
two, when a great body of Issua' own
sards-were ordered Into the arena. On they
cams with fierce cries, while from every
side the armed prisoners swarmed upon
them.
For half an hour It was as though the In.
ferno had broken loose. In the walled con
fines of the arena we fought In an Inex
tricable mass howling, cursing, blood'
treaked demons, and ever the sword of the
young red man flashed beside me.
Slowly and by repeated commands I had
ucceeded In drawing the prisoners Into a
rough formation about us, no that at last
ure fought formed Into a rude circle, In the
centre of which were the doomed maids.
Many had gone down on both sides, but
by far tho greater havoc had been wrought
In the guards of Issus. I could see mes
scngers running swiftly through the audi
ence and, as they passed, tho nobles there
unsheathed their swords and sprang Into
tho arena. They were going to annihilate
Us by forco of numbers that was quite
evidently their plan.
I caught a gllmpso of Issus leaning fftf
forward upon her throne, her hideous
countenanco distorted In a horrid grimace
of hate and rage. In which I thought I
could distinguish an expression of fear. It
was that face that Inspired mo to tho thing
that followed.
Quickly I ordered SO of tho prisoners to
drop back behind us and form a new circle
about tho maidens.
"Remain and protect them until I re
turn," I commanded.
Then turning to those who formed tho
outer line, I cried: "Down with Issus.
Follow mo to the throne I Wo will wreak
vengeanco where vengeanco Is deserved."
The, youth at my sldo was the first to
tako up the cry of "Down with Issus I" and
then at my back and from alt sides rose a
hoarso shout: , "To tha throne! To tha
throno I"
As ono man wo moved, on Irreslstlblo
fighting mass, over the bodies of dead and
dying foos toward tho gorgeous throno of
tho Martian dolty.
Hordes of the doughtiest fighting men of
tho First Horn poured from tho audience
to check our pregrosr. Wo mowed them
down boforo us as it they had been paper
men.
"To the seats, Borne of youl" I cried,
as ,wo npproached tha arena's barrier wall.
"Ten of us can take tho throne," for I had
seen that Issus' guards had for tho most
part entered the fray within the arena.
On both aldos of me tho prisoners broke
to left and right for tho seats, vaulting tha
low wait with dripping swords lusting for
the crowded victims who awaited them.
In another moment the entire amphithe
atre was filled with tho shrieks of tho
dying and tho wounded, mingled with the
olash of arms and the triumphant shouts
of tho victors.
Side by side, tho young red man and
I, with perhaps a dozen others, fought
our way to tho foot of tho throne.
The remaining guards, reinforced by the
high dignitaries nnd nobles of the First
Born, closed In I etween us and Issus, who
eat leaning far forward upon her carved
Borapus bench, now ncrcamlng high-pttchod
commands to her following, now hurting
blighting curses upon those who sought to
deaecrato her godhood.

FARMER SMITH'S
WHO WAS WILLIAM PATTERSON?
Dear Children How many of you have over heard of William Patterson?
Very few, I guess. How many have ever heard of the Bank of England?
Many of you, I am sure. Perhaps some of you have said: "It's as safe as
the Dank of England."
The greatest bank in tho world owes its origin to a BOY. What do you
think of that? ' ,
Many years ago in the hills of Scotland a small boy tended a flock of sheep.
Like many other shepherds, he had time to-think as he watched his flock by night.
Thero under tho stars, the boy, William Patterson, conceived tho ida of
founding a great bank.
Shepherd-bank queer combination, is it not?
No sooner had William got his ideas settled than he was driven out of the
country because of his religious belief.
William Patterson clung to his idea and today we have the Bank of England.
If you havo a GOOD THOUGHT hold on to it cherish it and WORK IT

In wile-eyed expectancy, knowing not
whether to pray for our victory or our
defeat.
Several among them, proud daughters,
no doubt, of some of Barsoom's noblest
warriors, snatched swords from the hands
of the fallen and fell upon tho guards of
Issus, but they were soon cut down, glorious
martyrs to a hopeless cause.
The men with us fought well, but never
since, Tars Tarkas and I fought out that
long, hot nfternoon shoulder to shoulder
against tho hordes of Warhoon In the dead
sea bottom before Thark, had I seen two
men fight to Buch good purpose and with
such unconquerable ferocity as the young
red man and I fought that day before tho
throne of Issus. Goddess of Death and of
Life Internal.
. Mah by man those who stood between
us and tho carven sorapus wood bench
went down before our blades. Others
swarmed In to fill the breach, but Inch by
Inch, foot by foot, we won nearer nnd
nearer to our goal.
Presently a cry wont up from a. section
of the stands nearby, "Rise, slaves 1"
"Rise, slaesl" It rose and fell until It
swelled to a mighty volume of sound that
swept In great billows round the entire
amphitheatre.
For an InBtant, as though by common
assent, we ceased our fighting tor 'look for
thb meaning of this new note: nor did It
take but a moment to translate Its signifi
cance. In all parts of tho structure the
femalo slaes wero falling upon their mas
ters with whatever weapon came first to
hand.
A dagger snatched from the harnoss of
her mlntrcBs was waved aloft by some fair
slave. Its shimmering blade crimson with
the life-blood of Its owner: swords plucked
from tho bodies of the dead about them:
heavy ornaments which could bo turned
Into bludgeons such wero the Implements
with which these fair women wreaked the
long-vont vengeance which at best could
but partially rccompenso them for tho tin
speakablo cruelties and Indignities which
their black masters had heaped upon them.
And those who could find no other weapons
used their strong fingers and their gleaming
teeth.
It was at once a sight to mako ono shud
dor and to cheer', but In a brief second we
wero engaged once mOro In our own battle,
with only tho unquonchnblo battlo-cry of
tho women to romlnd us that they still
fought "Rise, BlavesI" "Rlso, slavos I"
Only a slnglo thin rank of men now stood
botween us nnd Issus. Her faco was blue
with terror. Foam flecked her lips. She
seemed too paralyzed with foar to move.
Only the youth nnd I Tought now. The
others nil had fallen, nnd I was tike to have
gone down, too, from a nasty longaword
cut had not n hand reached out from behind
my adversary and clutched his elbow as
the blade was falling upon me.
The youth sprang to my side nnd ran
his sword through tho fellow before ho
could recover to deliver another blow.
I should have died even then, for my
sword was tight-wedged In tho breastbono
of a dator of tho First Born.
As the follow went down I snatched his
sword from him, and over his prostrate
body looked Into the oyca of the one whose
quick hand had saved mo from tho first cut
of hla sword. It was I'haldor, the daughter
of Matal Bhang.
"Fly, my prince!" she cried. "It Is use
less to fight them longer. All within the
arena are dead. All who charged tho
throno are dead but you and this youth.
Only among the seajs aro thero left any
of your fighting men, and they and the
slave womon nro fast being cut down.
"Listen! You can Bcarce hear the battle
cry of the women now, for nearly all are
dead. For each ono of you there are ten
thousand blacks within the domains of tho
First Born. Break for the open nnd the
Sea of Korus.

BILLY BUMPUS AND THE MDLE
By Farmer Smith
The sun was high In the heavens and
Billy Bumpus was feeling the heat so much
that he went over and lay down In the
shade behind the barn. He was singing
softly to hlmBelf :
"I have a little shadow,
It always goes with mo.
If a bee should sting my shadow,
Now, would It let me be-e-e."
"Wonderful I Sing the second verse."
Lookine up, Billy Baw Mister Donkey
squinting at him.
"Hellow, Long Ears I" shouted Billy.
"I didn't quite understand you," replied
Mister Donkey, putting forward one of his
ears.
"No wonder you didn't, for you are bo
busy eating that piece of straw that you
can't hear anything," Billy got up and
looked straight at Mister Donkey.
"What do you know about bees, any
way, that you should try to sing about
them?" asked the fellow with the long
ears.
"Bees 7 Bees? I know all there Is to
know about them. I am one of the great
est Bee-ologlsts the world has ever known.
I am THE Bee-ologlst and don't forget It"
"Aro you the brave Billy Bumpus who
Is going to warT I have heard about him,
brave fellow that he la I"
"That's me or rather that's I, or I am
he or he s ME! Anyway I am Billy
Bumpus Brave Billy Bumpus, as I am
called."
"So you are tha brave and wonderful
Billy Bumpus ! I am SO glad to meet you.
I have" a thought that wU show you to be
even more brave than you are at present,"
said the donkey.
"What Is ItT" asked Billy, all excitement
"Well, I wouldn't tell every ono, but as
It Is YOU, I will simply- say this: Get
some bees and turn them loose among the
enemy and they are yours."
"Who'B mine?"
"You stupid goat tha enem.y Is Y0UR3.
You capture them." ,
"But the enemy hasn't big ears lkeyou
have." replied Billy, who considered the
scheme a good one.
Never mind about the ear part of It
what you want is to capture, the enemy
am I not right T"
"You aurely are I'll VVb DO IT1"
"Cool I" he added, "let me be p$ix whf n
you capture the bees, for I was the one
who told you about the idea- I don't want
any glory, only I want to see that you do
it right"
Yeu are entitled to that? said BJJly as
b went off, In search- of seme beehives. i

"With your mighty sword-arm you may
yet win to the Golden Cliffs nnd the templed
gardens of the holy therns. There tell your
story to Matal Shang, my1 father. Mo will
keep you and together you may find a way
to rescue me. Fly while thero is yet a bare
chanco for flight."
Hut that was not my mission, nor could
I see much to be preferred In tho cruel hos
pitality of tho holy therns to that of tho
First Born.
"Down with Issuer1 I shouted, and to
gether tho boy and I took up tho fight once
more.
Two blacks went down with our Bwords
In their vitals and we stood face to faco
with Issus. As my sword went up to end
her horrid career her paralysis left her, and
with an ear-plerclng shriek she turned to
flee.
Directly behind her a black gulf suddenly
yawned in tho flooring of the dins. She
sprang for tho opening, with tho youth ntd
I closo at her heels. Her scattered guard
rallied nt her cry and rushed for us.
A blow fell upon tho head of the youtl
He staggered and would have fallen, but I

CIIArTEK XII
Back to Slindor
FOR an Instant I stood there before
they fell upon me, but tho first rush of
them forced mo back a step or two. My
foot felt for the floor, but found only
empty apace.
I had backed Into tho pit which had
recelvod Issus. For a second I toppled there
upon the brink. Then I, too, with tho boy
still tightly clutched In my arms, pitched
backward Into tho black abyss.
We struck a polished chute, tho opening
above us closed as magically as It hnd
opened, and wo shot down, unharmed, Into
a dimly lighted apartment far below tho
arena.
As I rose to my feet tho first thing I
saw was tho malignant countenanco of Ibsus
glaring at me through tho heavy bars of
a grated door at ono side of tho chambor.
"Rash mortal I" sho shrilled. "You shall
pay the awful pennlty for your blasphomy
In this secret cell. Hero you shall llo nlono
nnd In darkness with tho carcass of your
accomplice festering In its rottonncss by
your sldo until, crazed by loneliness nnd
hunger, you feed upon the crawling maggots
that wero onco a man."
That was all. In another instant she
was gono and tho dim light which had filled
tho cell faded Into Cimmerian blackness.
"Pleasant old lady," said a volco at my
side.
"Who speaks?" I asked. -
"'TIs I, your companion, who has hnd
tho honor this day of fighting shoulder to
shoulder with tho greatest warrior that
ever wore metal upon Barsoom."
"Thank Heaven that you aro not dead,"'
I said. "I feared for that naBty cut upon
your head."
"It but Btunnod me," he replied. "A

"Maybe it were as well had it been final,"
I said. "Wo seem to bo In a pretty fix
hero with a Bplendld chance of dying of
starvation and thirst."
"Where aro wo?"
"Beneath tho arena," I replied. "Wo
tumbled down the shaft that swallowed
Ibsus as sho was almost at our mercy."
Ha laughed a low laugh of pleasure and
relief, and then, reaching out through tho
Inky blackness, ho pulled my ear closo to

"Nothing: could bo better," ho whispered.

"What do you men,n?"
"I labored with the other slaves a year
since In tha remodeling of theso subterran

below theso nn ancient system of corri
dors and chambers that had been scaled up
for need.
"Tho blacks In charce of tho work ex

nnd who knows what may transpire to nld

He had spoken all In a low whisper, evi
dently fearing spying ears evon here, and so
I answered him in tho samo BUbdued tone.
"Lend back to Shador, my frlond," I
whispered. "Xotlnr, tho black, Is thero.
Wo were to attempt our escape together,
so I cannot desort him."
"No," said tho boy, "ono cannot desert
a friend. It were better to be recaptured
ourselves than that."
Then ho commenced groping his way
about tho floor of the dark chamber search
ing for the trap that led to tho corridors
beneath. At length ho summoned me by
a low "Hist 1" and I crept toward tho sound
of his volco to And him kneeling on the
brink of an opening n the floor.
"Thero Is a drop hero of about ten feet,"
ho whispered. "Hang by your hands and
you will nllght safely on a level floor of
Boft sand."
Very quietly I lowered myself from tho
Inky cell aloo Into tho inky pit bolow.
So utterly, dark wnn It that we could not
sco our hands at an Inch from our noses.
Never, I think, havo I known Buch com
plete absence of light as existed tn tho
pits of Issus.
For nn Instant I hung In midair. Thero
IsnBtrango sensation connected with nn ex
perience of that nature which is quite diffi
cult to describe When tho feet tread empty
nlr and tho dlstanco below Is shrouded In
darkness thoro Is n feeling nkln to panic
at the thought of releasing tho hold and
taking tho plunge 'Into unknown depths.
Though tho boy hnd told mo that It was
but 10 feet to tho floor below, I experienced
tho samo thrills as though I were hanging
above a bottomless pit. Then I rcleasod my
hold and dropped two foot to a soft cush
ion of sand
Tho boy followed me.
"Raise mo to your shoulders" he said,
"and I will replace the trap."
This done, ho took mo by the hand, lead
ing mo very slowly, with much fcollng about
and frequent halts to assure himself that
ho did not stray Into wrong passageways.
Presently we commenced the descent of
a very Btcep Incline.
"It will not be long," ho said, "before we
shnll have light. At tho lower levels we
meet the samo stratum of phosphorescent
lock Hint Illuminates Omean."
Never shall I forget that trip through
tho pits of Issus.
While It was devoid of Important Inci
dents, yet It was filled for me with a strango
chnrm of excitement and adventure which
I think must havo hinged principally on tho
unguessaMe antiquity of theso long-forgotten
corridors. Tho things which the Stygian
darkness hid could not havo been half so
wonderful as the pictures which my Imag
ination wrought.
My fancy conjured to life again the
ancient peoples of this dying world and
set them onco more to the labors, the in
trigues, the mysteries nnd tho cruelties they
had practiced to make their last stand
against tho swarming hordes of tho dead
sea bottoms who hnd driven them step by
step to tho uttermost plnnaclo of tho world,
where they wero now Intrenched behind a
barrier of superstition.
In addition to tho green men thero had
been three principal races upon Daraoom.
The blacks, the wliites and a race of
yellow men. As the waters of the planet
dried and the seas receded all other re
sources dwindled until life upon the planet
becamo a constant battle for 'survival.
The various races had made war upon
one another for ages, and the three higher
types had easily bested the green savages
of the wasto places of tho world : but now
that the receding seas necessitated constant
abandonment of their fortified cities and
forced upon them a more or less nomadic
llfo In which they became separated Into
smaller communities, they soon fell proy to
tho fierce hordes of green men.
The result was a partial amalgamation
of the blacks, whites and yellows, tho re
sult of which Is .shown In the present
splendid race of red men.

HIGH-TONED LOS ANGELES FLOATS
MEET WOE; OAKLAND, CAL., LAUGHS
Fifteen-Hundred-Dollar Exhibits of Reputed Earthly
Abode of Angels Stalled in Ad Men's PageantSister
City's Display Gets Credit From Crowd
Oakland, Cal., has the laugh on Los Ah
gefes. It will echo all along the coast. The laugh
Is due to an Incident of the ad men's pa
rade. Tho details were learned today, when
half of the' Oakland delegation left for
home,
Getting down to dots, the brutal truth Is
that Oakland spent exactly 12.43 for Its
exhibit In tho big pageant and over
shadowed "the City of Angels," which In
vested the substantial sum of 1600.
' It was all due to an accident, which the
Oaklanders declare they had no part In, but
the Los AngeleBlans have their suspicions.
The very beautiful floats of tho Los An
geles adsters were sweeping along ma
jestically with all tho products of Lower
California. Gasps of admiration came from
tho crowd, and behind the wonderful ex
hibits the Los Angeleslans marched with
dignified tread.
Suddenly one of the motortrucks which
carried the first float gurgled and coughed.
Then it stood stock still and spluttered and
Then It stood stock still and spluttered
Us feet The wheels revolved without
going forward. It was plain that the noat
was seized with locomotor ataxia. Some
of the germs touched the Becond float. It
went through the same paroxym and after
a violent cough also stood still.
The Los Angles men gathered around the
exhibits persevering and perspiring. With
two experts they coaxed the machine, with
kind words and monkey wrenches. But the
autos were unmoved. Meanwhile the parade
was piling up behind the stalled Call
fornlans. Ac order was given to march around
them, and while the Los Angeleslans were,

for School Children
"Better safe than sorry."
"Enlist nowl We fight to save life,
not to take it."
"You have no right to tako a

tako. the consequences."
"Safety first not part of the time,
but nil the time."
I'liotoicrnplis llliistrntlnr the story will be
found on the bnck page.
A battle not to tako lives, but to savo
them Is developing,
It Is a "safety" campaign to be launched
In tho public schools throughout the city by
tho Philadelphia Itapld Transit Company.
Tho folly of many accidents In the Btroets
will be carried straight home to tho happy-go-lucky
children In tho schoolrooms and
playgrounds.
Tho campaign will begun with the opening
of tho summer playground season nnd will
bo carried Into the schools In tho fall by
means of Illustrated lectures no, stories
would bo better. Tho warnings will, Indeed,
bo In story form, bo that every tiny shaver
will understand them. And they will under
stand tho pictures, too, for tho Illustrations
are photographs of actual "close Bhaves"
that careless boys and girls have had, snap
"shot" on the spot by a photographer of tho
newly created safety bureau of tho Phila
delphia Kapid Transit Company.
Tho story teller will not bo an Imposing
looking ogre, with stern commands that
boys nnd girls liecd his words. The warn

"safety lady," Miss Dcatrlco V. Clinch,
head of tho company's safety bureau, an
oxpert of Wilmington, Del. Her plan has
been approved by Dr. John P. Oarbcr, Su
perintendent of Schools; Monslgnor Mc

Miss Kllzabeth O'Neill, supervisor of play
grounds, and tho police nnd tho Doy

Although tho prevention of trolley acci

nil other forms of accidents In which chil
dren nro killed and maimed will bo taken
up Tho child's fault In motortruck acci
dents, which havo grown Into an appalling
spectre for mothers whoBO children play
In tho streets, will bo shown. Billy and
Johnny will bo told how foolish It Is to
steal rides on tho tall ends of trolloy cars
and automobiles, to "monkey" with tele

In streets whero tho deadly motortrucks
rumble. Mary and Jcnnlo will bo wnrned
not to scamper across tho street before
looking carefully, not to rend whllo walk

Later, prizes will be offered for essays
and poems by school children on "safety."
"It's a ery serious problem," said Miss
Clinch, who has been carrying her work
Into settlement houses and Boy Scout
meetings. "Children aro hard to teach
safety because they aro no exuberant. In
splto of all tho preventives, 361 children

Btoallng an entire car. A few nights ago,
after I had spoken on safety to a troop of
Boy Scouts and had Interested attention
nnd hnd aroused three cheerB for 'safety,'
whot do you think happened? Two of tho
boys hung on to tho bnck of an automobile
right outside tho door."
Tho plan for closing off ccrtnln streets
for "play streets" for children was warmly
advocated by Miss Clinch.
"It la Impoislble to provide playgrounds
for all the children," she said. "Tho need
for them Is apparent. In one section In
South Philadelphia, In tho nroa of four
blocks, there are 157S children below the
ago of 10 years. What shall thoy do for
tho fresh air and romping that they need?
Tho streets provide the only answer, the
streets full of the dangers that lurk In
trolleys and automobiles.
"Many of tho children aro too small to go
more than three squares away from home
to play. And tho playgrounds are further
away than that for most of tho children.
The street that runs In front of tho door or
around tho corner Is a much simpler solu
tion. There nro many of theso streets that
aro little used that could be roped off far
the children. Their mothers and fathers
would know that they were safe from harm
there."

announced, "Oakland, Cal., Is here. Greet
ings to Philadelphia."
Oakland looked at Los Angeles and smiled.
Los Angeles stared blankly. To make mat
ters worse, a mammoth spotlight, carried
by a Bromo Seltzer exhibit, shone through
the banner carried by tha Oaklanders and
made its greeting shine like letters of lire.
"Hurrah for Oakland" shouted the crowd,
and many were of the opinion, too, that the
beautiful floats carried by Los Angeles
belonged to the Oaklanders.
The latter were very grateful for the
limelight thrown upon them by the Bromo
SelUer crowd, and, by way of reciprocity,
announced as they marched, "When you
drink California wine, Bromo Seltzer will
cure the headache, should you take too
much."
No one seems to remember whether the
Los Angeleslans got under way again or
not Mr- Cribbins, who represents the half
of the Oakland delegation, referred to here
tofore, said he would see to It that every
State along the coast would hear how Los
Angeles was dimmed by Its little sister
town.
The charge that the Oaklanders watered
the gasoline In the motors carrying the
Los Angeles exhibits was denied by Crib
bon 3.
He. as president of the Paclfla Coast Ad
vertising Association, he said as he stepped
on the train for the West, could not be ex
pected to conceal publicity

FOR 15 MINUTES ALL BUT "EATS'
Loyalty of One Member of Golf Club's Staff Holds Him to
His Employers While Peace Terms Are
Being Negotiated
"Fats" Whltten Itlchmond, the ono lone
"scab" of the enddy strike on Cobb's Creek
Golf Course, puffed fearfully along State
road over the hill leading to the men's
club house nnd the enddy center today with
tho memory of threats to "get him" rising
dlrefully In his mind. Thirty-flvo caddies,
ranging from 12 to 18 years old, glowered
nt him from under the shade of the club
veranda. Tho customary hall, "Hey, Fats 1"
was not heard.
It was nn echo of tho Industrial unrest
nmong caddies which exploded on Satur
day nnd blew the 35 out of their Jobs.
Tho strike lasted only IS minutes, but in
that time a complete setting was assembled
about the caddy centre. There was one
strike breaker, six pickets, .and a refusal
on the part of the management to meet
the Rtrlkcrs nnd arbitrate.
Tho strike leader followed type even to
tho oxtcnt of getting out a statement that
he was doing nil ho could to hold tho cad
dies In check, but that ho would not be re
sponilblo If they "busted" out and broke
something.
Mayor Smith and ex-Attorney Generat
John C. Bell were playing tho 16th hole
while tho strike was on. So completo an
ngrecment was renched by tho tlmo they
returned to tho ctiibhouso that they wero
not asked to net on the adjustment board,
In fact, It mny bo they never even heard
about the strike.

Nevertheless, there was on Tho older
boys, from 12 up, led by Big John Hender
son, the only long-trousef caddy on the
course, decided late tn tho afternoon that
thoy were not being called for service as
often as they deserved to be. Big John told
Howard Gloughlln, the caddy master, that
they were going to strike.
Thereafter they did strike. Immediately.
The entire ,85 stepped off tha veranda,
walked ncross the raw dirt approach that
will be n lawn as soon as they sod it and
over to a big tree 100 feet from the club
house and near enough to tho first tee) to
permit the coddles to exercise their natural
right of criticism of tho appcaranco and
style of going of the players.
"Fats" would not strike. At times he hat
been permitted to sit at tho round table
with Howard Gloughlln, where the score
cards aro given out. His loynlty was; as
fast ns a German dye. Tells and threats
merely moved him further Into tho club arid
nearer to his principal.
At tho end of IB minutes and nfter one
refusal to discuss the grievance Hownrd
Gloughlln and Big John nnd some other
strikers decided that after this the caddies
would register ns soon as they reached the
course, and that thoy uould bo sent out In
the order their names appeared on the book.
This satlslled both sides and tho caddies
resumed their benches on the veranda.
