confront us, for we knew that even should

It was agreed that I should navigate the
craft after wo had reached her, and that If
he made tho outer world In safety wo should
attempt to reach Helium wfthout a'stop.
"Why Helium?" naked tho red youth.
"I am a. prince of Helium," I replied.
He gave mo a peculiar look, but said
nothing further on tho subject, I wondered
t tho time what tho significance of his ex

matters It soon left my mind, nor did I liavo
occasion to think of It again until later.
"Come," I said at length, "now Is na good

Another moment found mo at tho top of
the partition wall ngaln with tho boy be

it together Into a Blnglo long strap, which I
lowered to tho waiting Xodar below.
Ho grasped tho end and was soon sitting
beside us.
"How simple," he laughed.
Tho balanco should be oven simpler," I
replied.
Then I raised myself to tho top of the
outer wall of tho prison. Just so that I
could peer over nnd locate the passing
sentry. For a matter of live minutes I
waited, and then ho caino In sight on his

IF I WERE A BOY AGAIN
My dear Girls It has occurred to me that if I want to make the boys read
this, I must address it to you.
IP I WERE A BOY AGAIN I would study my lessons, because no ono
cares if I do not know them except myself. I know NOW that Knowledge is
power. Knowledge feeds me, clothes me, makes me happy.
IP I WERE A BOY AGAIN I would know all there is to know about
ONE thing. I would be THE man in the United States, yes, tho world, to
whom every ono had to come for information about tho subject I knew best.
IP I WERE A BOY AGAIN I would take a course in a business college
nnd work in a bank. I would learn system at tho business collego and method
at the bank.
IF I WERE A BOY AGAIN I would learn all about the living creatures
of the earth about plants, animals, bugs, fishes. I would learn about tho
clouds, tho mysteries of tho ocean and the wonders of the forest.
IF I WERE" A BOY AGAIN I would learn more about MYSELF for
knowing myself I would know others better. PARMER SMITH,

chances for escape; but thero was nothing
for It now but to seo tho adventuro through.
With a spring as swift nnd as nolaclcsa
as a tiger's I lit beside the guardsman who
had moved. My hands hovered above his
throat awaiting tho moment that his eyes
should open.
For what seemed an eternity to my over
wrought nerves I retnnlned poised thus.
Then tho fellow turned again upon hlq
sldo and resumed tho even respiration of
deep slumber.
Carefully I picked my way between nnd
over tho soldiers Until I had gained tho
rack at tho far side ,of tho room. Hero
I turned to survey tho sleeping men.
All wero quiet. Their regular breath
ing roso nnd fell In a soothing rhythm
that seemed to mo the sweetest musto I
hnd ever heard.
Gingerly I drew a longsword from the
rack. Tho scraping of the scabbard against
Its holder as I withdrew It sounded llko
tho filing of cast Iron with a great rasp,
and I looked to seo tho room Immediately
filled with alarmed and attacking guards
men But nono stirred.
Tho second sword t withdraw noiselessly,
but tho third clanked In Its scabbard with
a frightful din. I knew that it must
awaken some of tho men at least, nnd waa
on the point or forestalling tnoir niiacK
by n rapid charge for the doorway, when
again, to my Intense surprise, not a. black
moved.
KIthor they wcro wondrous heavy sleepers
or olso tho noises that I mado were really
much less than they seemed to mo.
I wns about to leave tho rack when my
attention was attracted by tho rovolvers.
I knew that I could not carry more than
ono away with me, for I was already too
heavily laden to movo quietly with any
degree of safety or speed,
As I took ono of them from Its pin my
oye fell for tho first tlmo on nn open win
dow beside tho rack. Ah, hero was n splen
did mcins of oscapo, for It let directly upon
tho dock, not 20 feet from tho water's edge.
And as I congratulated myaolf I heard
tho door opposlto me opon ; and thoro, look
ing mo full In tho face, stood tho olllccr of
tho guard. He evidently took In tho sltua-
tlon at a glnnco nnd appreciated tho grav
ity of It as quickly na 1, for our rcvolvors
camo up Blmultanoously, nnd tho sounds of
tho two reports wcro nn ono as wo touched
tho buttons on tho grips that oxploded tho
cartridges.
I felt tho wind of his bullet as It whizzed
past my car, and at the samo Instant I
saw him crumple to tho ground. Whero I
hit him I do not know, nor If I killed him,
for BCfyrco hnd ho stnrtcd to collapse when
I was through tho window at my rear.
In another second tho waters of Omcan
closed above my head and the three of ui
wero milking for tho llttlo filer n hundred
yards away.
Xodar was burdened with tho boy, and
I with tho three longswords; tho revolver I
had dropped, so that, whilo we wcro both
strong swimmers. It seemed to mo that wo
moved at a snail's pace through tho water.
I was swimming entirely beneath the rur
face, but Xodar was compelled to rise often
to let tho youth breathe, so It was a wonder
that wo wcro not discovered long beforo
wo were.
In fact, we reached tho boat's sldo and
wore all aboard beforo the watch upon tho
battleship, roused by tho shots, detected us.
Then an alarm-gun bollovod from tho
ship's bow, its deep boom reverberating
In deafening tones beneath tho rocky domo

THE BEES IN HILLY RUMPUS'
BATTLE
By Farmer Smith
Billy Bumpus wns walking slowly down
tho road wondering whero ho could get somo
bees when ho heard a tiny volco calling
him.
Billy stopped and looked all around.
Ho saw no one.
"Tell me tell me. what Is to becomo of
mo If you havo a lot of bees biting you?"
Ellly looked up, then ho looked down.
Ho looked this way and then that and still
ho saw no one. Suddenly ho felt a bite on
tho tip end of his tall.
"Oh, It's you, Is It!" he exclaimed.
"Yes, I go where you go, but I don't
want to be bitten by any bees. What Is
more, you are not as bravo as you think.
How aro you going to send those bees to
the enemy and whero are or Is tho enemy,
anyway?" It was Mrs. Plea speaking.
"I I thought of sending them to the
enemy I don't know Just how by parcel
post or express, any way to get them there,"
said Billy.
Mrs. Flea gave him another blto nnd then
said:
"You are so bravo, sending bees to tho
enemy (which enemy I don't know) and
then rushing around to seo If they get
stung."
"I didn't think of It first I took some
body else's Idea," whined Billy.
"That's what always happens when you
steal somebody eUe'a thoughts that's
downright stealing." Mrs. Flea gave Billy
one more bite Just to keep him moving.
Billy Bumpus then started to run In the
direction of the orchard. Under tho apple
trees were the beehtvea Billy made ono
dash for them and upset hive after hive.
Thero was an uproar In a minute.
Bees wero here and bees wero thero and
bees were everywhere, especially back of
Billy's ears, that tender part of Billy b'rave
goat that ho was.
Mrs. Flea had dropped to the ground long
since and had Jumped up on a blade of
grass to see what was going on.
In the middle of the battle between Billy
and the bees, there came a noise floating
over the orchard. It went something like
this:
"Hee-haw ! Hee-haw I"
That was too much for poor Billy, for,
with all his pain, he couldn't but think how
Mister Donkey would laugh, now that he
was In a real battle and running away,
for he didn't, have time to even look up, for
fear his eyes' would get stung.
He made straight for his home, and his
wife was there to meet him,
"I told you so," Bhe said.
"Don't, don't I" cried Billy.
And as night camo on, Mrs. Goat was
bathing Billy's head in cold water.

It took but an Instant, however, for me
to regain the levers, nnd with the roof
bnrely fifty feet above I turned her nose
onco more Into tho horizontal piano nnd
honded her ngaln for tho black mouth of
tho shaft
Tho collision had retarded our progrost,
nnd now a hundred swift Rcouts were cloie
upon us. Xodar had told mo that ascend

pellers would bo Idle nnd in rising wo would
bo outclassed by mnnv nf nnr mtrnira.
Tho swifter craft are seldom equipped with
largo buo.snncy tnnkn since tho added bulk
of them tends to reduce a vessel's speed.
As many boats were now quite close to
us It was Inevitable that we would bo quick
ly overhauled In tho shaft hnd captured
or killed In short order.
To mo there always seems a way to gain
tho opposlto sldo of an obstacle If ono

It, why. then, there Is but a single alterna

"ltoversol" screamed Xodar, behind mo.
"For the love of your first ancestor, ro
versot Wo nro at tho shaft."
"Hold tight !" I screamed in rerly. "Grasp
tho boy nnd hold tight wo nro going
straight up the shaft."
Tho words wcro scarce out of my mouth
as wo swept beneath tho pitch black open
ing. I threw tho bow hard up, dragged
tho speed lover to Its last notch, nnd,
clutching a stanchion with ono hand nnd
tho steering wheel with tho other, hung on
llko grim death and consigned my soul to
Its Author.
I heard a llttlo exclamation of surprlso
from Xodar, followed by n grim laugh.
Tho boy laughed, too. and said something
which I could not catch for tho whistling
of tho wind of our awful speed.
I looked nbovo my head, hoping to catch
tho gleam of stars by which I could direct
our course nnd hold tho hurtling thing
that boro us true to tho centre of tho
shaft. To havo touched tho sldo at tho
bpeed wo wore making would doubtless
havo resulted In Instant death for us all.
But not a star showed above only utter
and Impcnetrnblo dnrkness.
Then I glanced bolow me and them I
saw a rapidly diminishing clrclo of light
tho mouth of the opening nbovo tho phos
phorescent rndlanco of Omoan. By this I
steered, endenvorlng to keep tho clrclo of

At best It was a slender cord that held
us from destruction, and I think that I
steered that night more by Intuition and
blind faith than by skill or reason.
Wo were not long In tho shaft, and pos
sibly tho very fnct of our enormous speed
saved us, for evidently wo started In tho

Wo must have been out of It for somo
seconds before I realized that wo had ac
complished the Impossible.
Black darkness enshrouded all about us.
Thero wero neither moons nor stars. Never
beforo had I teen such a thing upon
Mars, and ror tno moment I was non

"There's no better way to seo tho best
In mankind than by asking their aid," sho
declares. "That sign asking for aid In
front of this building brings more re
sponses than any ono could dream of. For,
oven If tho women have only 10 minutes
to glvo, wo want It. Thero's something for
every one to do, and most of them are
glad to do It.
"I have a young boy Bcout on my helper's
Hat, who haa organized a crowd of Young
sters to roll bandages. Every weok they
oomo horo and take away A pile of ma
tcrlals. Thoy nover lose a single ono cither.
Thoy work llko Trojans, too. This young
ster Is going to tako a course In firat-ald,
and his "crowd" wlthhlm. Ho Is a won
derful help, but wo have many offers
equally generous,
"Just a few dnys ngo I got a letter from
a poor womnn who Hvc3 outsldo of Atlantic)
City. Sho said sho couldn't offer us any
money, but she did offer tho uso of her
flve-acro farm In caso of war. It's this
spirit of unselfishness and generosity that
sends young girls nnd women nnd older
women alike In hero to work all day long.
"Thon nt night wo keep open until 9:30.
This la so thnt the working people who
want to help will have an opportunity to
do oo. I havo seen worklngT'glrls whoso
brothers nnd sweethearts nro at present In
Moxlco or In camp ready to bo sent thoro
walk In hero and nsk to do preparedness
work, bo that thoy won't bo found wanting
when tho tlmo to serve the United States
comes, It It does. Since tho excitement of
ad men's week Is over and tho troops have
really entrained for Mexico, I expect to seo
at least a thousand girls and women work
ing In this very building' for the boya In
khaki. i
"Of courso, no ono knows whether we'll
have war or not," Mrs. Morgan continued,
"but If wo do I'm sure tho women will be
so bravo as tho mon. Wo nro .keeping all
tho supplies horo to await further orders. ,
If thoy aren't needed, thero aro plenty of
countries In Europe that will welcome them.
If they nro needed, thero aro women enough
right here In Philadelphia to keep our own
boys well supplied."
