TrjOH two weeks nd word has como back

"About this time Zat Arras renewed his
Importunities for her hand In marriage. Ho
has been forever after her since you dis
appeared. . "Sho hatod him and feared him1, but, with
both her father and prandfatlrer cone, Zat
Arras was very powerful, for he Is still
Jed of Zodanga, to which position, you will
remember, Tardos Mors appointed him after
you had refused tho honor.
"He had a secret nudlcnco with her six
days ago. What took place none knows,
but the next day Dcjah Thorls had disap
peared, and with her had gone a doien of
her household guard and body-servants.
Including Sola, tho green woman Tars
Tarkas' daughter, you recall. t
"No word loft they of their Intontlons,
" but It Is always thus with those who go
upon tho voluntary pllgrlmago from which

that Dojah Thorls has sought tho ley

"Zat Arras was at Helium when she
disappeared. Ho commands this fleet which
has been searching for her Blnco. No trace
of her have wo found, and I fear that it
bo a futile quest."
Carthorls nnd I were wrapped In the
zloomlost of thoughts. Kantos Kan was

"Let us hope that wo may at least go

ho said.
It was a simple wish, nnd ono most llltely

Kantos Knn would not talk of our ex

"It Is enough." ho said, "that I Jeopar

I know that sooner or later tho tlmo must

"When wo reached Helium there must bo an

THE LITTLE BOY AND HIS WATCH
Dearest Children Once upon a time Uiero was a little boy and he had a
father, tho little boy did, and his father gave him n dollar with which to buy a
watch.
Now tho little boy was a very careful person, so ho asked tho watchmaker
from whom he bought tho watch how to make it keep good time.
"Wind your watch 'onco every day as nearly at tho same time as possible
nnd LET IT ALONE." N
Tho little boy took his watch homo and did as he was told. Every now and
then something inside of him said, "Open tho back of your watch and see what
is there."
The little boy did not open tho watch, but wound it every day and LET
IT ALONE,
One night tho little boy's father camo homo late. "My watch was slow
and I missed tho train," ho explained.
Tho nejet morning tho father asked his son what time it was and tho littlo
boy took out his watch and told him.
"Why," exclaimed tho father, "your watch is on the dot. Did you set it
yesterday?" '
"No," replied the son, "I havo never set my watch. That is the watch
maker's business."
"Do you mean to tell mo that your watch keeps better time than mine?"
naked the father.
"I do not know, father, but I have FAITH IN MY WATCH. I wind it
onco a day and LET IT ALONE." FARMER SMITH,

We were lodged In a room upon the south
ilde of tho temple, overlooking the Avenue

miles away, Tho people had gathered In
the templo plazn nnd In the streets for a

were neither scolTs nor plaudits, and when

there wcro many who burled their faces in

wo would be tried by an Impartial body of
nobles In tho great hall of tho tempjo nt tho

8:40 a, in., earth tlmo.
CHAPTER XVII
Tito Death Sentence.
AFBW moments beforo the appointed
tlmo on the following morning a strong
guard of Zat Arras otTlcers appeared at
our quarters to conduct us to tho great
hall of tho templo.
In twos wo entered the chamber nnd
marched down tho broad nlslo of hope, ns
It la called, to tho platform In tho 'centre
of tho hall. Dofore and behind us mnrchod
armed guards, whllo thrco solid ranks of
Zodangnn soldiery lined cither side of tho
alslo from tho entrance to tho rostrum.
As wo renched tho raised Inclosuro I
saw our Judges, As is tho custom upon
Uarsoom, thero were 31, supposedly selected
by lot from men of tho noble class, for
nobles wera on trial.
But, to my amazement, I saw no slnglo
friendly faco among them. Virtually nil
woro Zodangans, and It was I to whom
Zodanga owed her defeat at tho hands of
tho green hordes nnd her subsequent vas
salago to Helium.
Thero could bo llttlo Justlco hero for
John Cnrtcr or his son, or for tho great
Thnrk who had commanded tho savngo
tribesmen who overran Zodanga's broad
avonucs, looting, burning and murdorlng.
About us tho vast circular coliseum nvas
packed to Its full capacity. All classes
wcro represented nil ages, and both sexes.
As wo entered tho hall the hum of sub
dued conversation ceased until, as wo
halted upon tho platform or throno of
rlghtoousncss, tho sllenco of death en
veloped tho ten thousand BpcctatorB.
The judges wero seated In a great clrclo
about tho periphery of tho circular plat
form. Wo wero assigned scats with our
backs toward a small platform In tho
exact centre of the larger one.
This placed us facing tho judges and the
audience Upon tho smaller platform each
would lako his place whllo Ills caso was
being heard.
Zat Arras himself sat In tho golden chair
of tho presiding magistrate. As wo wcro
seated and our guards retired to the foot
of tho ttnlrwny leading to tho platform ho
aroso and called my name.
"John Carter," ho cried, "take your place
upon tho podestal of truth to bo Judged Im
partially according to your acts and hero
to know tho roward you havo earned there
by." Then turning to and fro toward tho nu
dlenco, he narrated 4ho nets upon tho value
of which my roward was to bo dotcrmlned.
"Know you, O Judges and peoplo of
Helium," he Bald, "that John Carter, one
time prince of Helium, has returned, by his
own stntcment, from tho Valley Dor and
even from tho Temple of Issus Itsolf.

"Men of Helium," I cried, turning to the
spectators nnd spending over the heads or
my Judges, "how can John Carter expect
Justlco from tho men of Zodanga? no
cannot, nor does ho ask It.
"It Is to tho men of Helium that ho
states his caso J nor does he appeal for
mercy to any. It In not In his own cause
that ho speaks now! It Is In yours, in 'he
cause of your wives nnd daughters, and or
wives and daughters jet unborn.
"It Is to save them from the unthlnkably
ntroclous IndlgnltlcB that I have seen heaped
upon tho fair women of Barsoom In the
placo men call tho Temple of Issus. It Is
to save them from tho plant men, from tho
fangs of tho white apes of Dor, from tho
cruel lust of tho holy thorns' from nil
that tho cold, dead Iss carries them to from
homes of love and happiness.
"Sits thero no man hero who does not
know the history of John Carter? How
ho came among you from another world
and rose from a prisoner nmong tho green
men, through torturo and persecution, to rt
place high among tho highest of Barsoom.
"Nor ever did you know John Carter to
llo in his own behalf, nor to say aught that
might harm tho peoplo of Barsoom, or to
speak lightly of tho Btrango religion which
ho respected without understanding.
'There bo no man here, or clsewhcro upon
Barsoom, today who docs not owe his life
directly to a slnglo act of mine, In wljlch
I sacrificed myself and tho happiness of

"And so. men of Helium, 1 think that I

that I bo believed, and Uiat you let mo
servo you nnd save you from tho false

you from tho real death that other day,
"It Is to you of Helium that I speak now.
When I am done let tho men of Zodangn
havo their will with me. Zat Arras has
taken my sword from me, so the men of
Zodanga no longer fear me. Will you
listen?"
"Speak, John Carter, Prlnco of Helium."
cried a noble from the audlcnco, nnd tho
multltudo echoed his permission, until tho
building rocked nlth tho noise of their
demonstration.
Zat Arras knew hotter than to Interfere
with such n sentiment ns was expressed
that day In tho Temple of Howard, and so
for two hours I talked with tho peoplo of
Hollum.
But whon I had finished Zat Arras roso
nnd, turning to tho judges, said In n low
tono: "My nobles, you have henrd John
Carter's plea, Every opportunity has been
given him to prove his Innocenco If ho bo
not guilty; but Instead he hnB but utilized
tho tlmo In further blasphemy. What,
gentlemen. Is your verdict?"
"Death to tho blasphemer 1" cried one,
springing to his feet, and In nn Instnnt tho
entire 31 Judges wcro on their feet with
upraised swords In token of tho unanimity
of their verdict.
If tho people did not hear Zat Arras'
charge, they certainly did hear the verdict
of tho tribunal. A sullen murmur reje
louder nnd louder nboe tho packod coliseum,
and then Kantos Kan, who hnd not left tho
platform Blnco first ho had taken his placo
near me. raised his hand for silence. When
ho could bo heard he spoke to tho peoplo
In cool and level lolce.
, "You havo heard tho fate that tho men

hero. It may bo tho duty of the men of
Helium to accept tho verdict as final, Let
each man act according to his own heart.

TALES OF THE BLUE FOREST OF
ALASKA
Tulip Heart and Prince Marntolade
Dy Farmer Smith
Little Tulip Heart lived alt alono with her
very old grandmother In tho Blue Forest of
Alaska. She was tho only little girl In all
the Forest and she liked tho cold and the
snow and tho big white furry bears.
The old grandmother was called Granny
Grump. She wanted Tulip Heart to be
come (juoen of all the goldon rivers of
Alaska and of nit tho golden fish that swam
In tho rivers.
Everything In the Blue Forest knew old
Granny Grump. Even the treeB nnd tho
bushes bowed to her. And they all laughed
at hor because Bhe looked so funny without
any teeth. Then her nose and her chin met.
Her nose nnd her chin were sharp like tho
arrowheads used by the Indiana, and when
old Granny Grump talked her nose and her
chin rapped together and made sparks.
Little Tulip Heart, whoso hair was alt
one mass of gold, had never seen a boy or
a man, or even a little girl like herself.
Her father and mother and old Oranny
Grump had como to the Blue Forest in a
balloon. Old Granny go cue of the balloon
with Llttlo Tulip Heart to dig gold In n
river and Tulip Heart's mamma and papa
had sailed away in the balloon and got lost.
Tulip Heart was n wee baby then, and
as she grew to be a little girl she played
with the little polar bears and sliver foxes.
There were also golden brown bears in the
Blue Forest and big blue wolves.
Tulip Heart wasn't afraid of the bears or
the foxes or the blue wolves, either, and
when she called them they camo to her
and ate out of her hand, Then there was
tho snow bird, all white with diamonds In
his head and emeralds all down his back.
We shall hear more about Little Tulip
Heart and the wonderful Prince MarmoladV
and more about the Blue Forest, which my
dear children. Is In Alaska.

surged upon tho platform, nnd n hundred
blades rattled and clanked to tho floor nt
my feet
Zat Arrns and his officers were furious,
but they .wore heirless. One by ono I raised
the swords to my lips nnd bucked them
again upon their owners.
"Como," said Kantos Kan, "wo will escort
John Carter nnd his party to his own
palace."
They formed about us and started toward
the stairs to the alslo of hope. '
The Jed of Zodangan Helium raised his
voice to tho nngry sea beneath us.
"Stay your hands, men of Helium," he
shouted, his voice trembling with rage, "The
tcntcnce of tho court Is passed, but the
day of retribution lion not been set.
"J, Zat Arrns, Jed of Zodanga, appreciat
ing tho royal connections of tho prisoner
nnd his past services to Helium nnd Bar
soom, grant a respite of one enr, or until
tho return of Mors Knjah or Tnrdos Mors
to Helium. Dlapereo quietly to your houses
Gol"
No ono moved i Instead they stood In
lenso silence with their eyes fastened upon
mo, ns though waiting for n signal to at
tack. "Clear the temple," commanded Zat Ar
rns In a tow tone to ono of his olhcers,
Fearing tho result of nn attempt to carry
out this order by forco, I stepped to the
edge of tho platform, and pointing toward
tho main entrnnce, bid them pass out. As
ono man they turned nt my request nnd
filed, silent nnd threatening, past the sol
diers of Zat Arras, Jed of Zodanga. Kan
tos Knn, with the others v,ho had sworn
nllcglanco to me, still stood upon tho throno
of righteousness with mo
"Come," said Kantos Knn to mo, "wo
will escort you to your palace, my prince.
Come, Carthorls and Xodar. Como, Tars
Tnrkas,"
It was a end party that sat at the
fenst of welcome In tho great dining
halt of tho pnlaco of tho Prlnco of Ho
llum that day. Wo wero over n hundred
Rtropg, not counting tho members of my
little court, for Dcjnh Thorls nnd I had
maintained n household consistent with
roal rank. ,
Tho loss of Dejnh Thorls was still fresh
In tho minds of all, nnd to this was ndded
fear for tho snfety of Tnrdos Mors nnd Mors
Kalak, ns welt ns doubt nnd uncertainty ns
to tho fato of Helium should it prove truo
that 8ho wcro permanently deprived of her
great Jcddak.
Suddenly our attention was attracted by
tho sound of distant shouting, as of many
pooplo .raising their voices nt once, but
whether In nnger or rejoicing wo could not
tell.
Nearer nnd nearer came tho tumult. A
slave rushed Into tho dining hall to cry thnt
a great concotirso of peoplo was swnrmlng
through tho palnco gates, A second burst
upon tho heals of tho first alternately laugh
ing nnd shrieking as a madman.
"Dojah Thorls Is found!" ho cried. "A
messenger fiom Dejah Thorls!"
I wnlted to hear no more. Tho great
windows of the dining hall overlooked tho
avenue, lending to tho main gates; thoy
wero upon tho opposite side of the hall from
mo with tho tnblo Intervening. I did not
wnsto tlmo in circling It, but with a slnglo
leap I cleared tnblo and diners and sprang
upon tho balcony beyond.
Thirty feet below lay tho scarlet sward
of tho lawn, and boyond were many people
ciouillng about a great thoat which bore a
rider headed toward tho palace.
I vaulted to tho ground below nnd rnn
swiftly toward tho advancing 'party. As I
camo near to them I saw that the figure on
the thoat was Sola.
"Whero is tho Princess of Helium?" I
cried
The green girl slid from her mighty
mount nnd rnn toward me.
"Oh, my prince I my prlnco! She Is gone
forever. Even now she may bo n captive
upon tho lesser moon.
"Tho black pirates of Barsoom have
stolen her."
CHAPTER XVIII
Kidnapped.
ONCE within tho palace I drew Sola to
the dining hall, nnd when sho had
greeted her father after tho formal man
ner of the green men, sho told tho story
of tho pllgrlmaga and capture of Dcjnh
Thorls,
For many minutes none spoke.
Dejah Thorls In tho clutches of tho First
Born I I shuddered nt tho thought, but of
ii sudden the old II so of an unconquerable
Belt-conlldcnco surged through me.
I sprang to my feet, nnd with back
thrown shoulders and upraised sword took
a solemn vow to reach, rescue and revenge
my princess.
A hundred swords leaped from a hun
dred scabbards, nnd a hundred fighting men
sprang to the table-top and pledged me
their lives and fortunes to the expedition.
Already my plans wero formulated,
I thanked each loyal friend, and, leaving
Carthorls to entertain them, withdrew to
my own audience chamber with Kantos
Kan, Tars Tarkas, Xodar and Hor Vastus.
Hero we discussed the details of our ex
pedition until long afTer dark. Xodar was
positive that Issus would choose both Dejah
Thorls and Thuvla to servo her for a year.
'For thnt length of time at least they
will be comparatively safe," he said, "and
we will nt least know where to look for
them."
In the matter of equipping a fleet to
enter Omean, tho details were left to Kantos
Kan and Xodar.
Tho former agreed to take such vessel
as wo required Into dock as rapidly as
possible, where Xodar would direct their
equipment with water propellers.
It was estimated that It would require
six months to complete our preparations In
view of the fact that the utmost secrecy
must be maintained to keep the project from
the ears of Zat Arras.
Kantos Kan was confident now that tho
man's ambitions were fully amused and
that nothing short of the title, Jeddak of
Helium, would satisfy him.
"I doubt," he said, "if ho would even
welcome Dejah Thorls' return, for it would
mean another nearer the throne than he.
With you nnd Carthorls out of the way
there would be little to prevent him from
assuming the title of Jeddak, and you
may rest nssured that so long as he Is
supreme hero there, Is no safety for either
of you," y
"There isa way," cried Hor Vastus, "to
thwart him effectually nnd forever."
"What?" I asked.
He smiled.
"I shall whisper It here, but some day
I shall stand upon the dome of-the Templo
of Reward nnd shout It to cheering multi
tudes below "
"What do you mean?" asked Kantos Kan.
"John Carter. Jeddak of Helium," said
Hor Vastus In a low voice.
The eyes of my companions lighted and
grim smiles of pleasure and anticipation
overspread their faces, as each eye turned
toward me questlonlngly.
But I shook my head.
"No, my friends," I sUld, smiling. "I
thank you, but It cannot be. Not ct, at
least. When we know that Tardos Mors
and Mors Kajak are gone to return no
more, it I be here then, I shall Join you
nil to see that the people of Helium are
permitted to choose fairly their next Jeddak,
"Whom they choose may count upon the
loyalty of my sword ; nor shall I seek the
honor for myself. Until than Tardos Mors
Is Jeddak of Helium and Zat Arras Is his
representative."
"As you will, John Carter," said Hor
Vastus. ''But what was that?" he whis
pered, pointing toward the window over
looklng'the gardens.
The words, were scarce out of his mouth
ere he had sprang to the balcony without.
There he goes I" he cried. "The guards !
Below there! The guards 1"

ATLANTIC CITTT, July 10. Although a
hugo throng of Sunday visitors nnd perma
nent guests promenaded yestorday beneath
a "mackcrol" sky, with prospcctB of early
storms or sudden showers, thero was no
let-up to tho round of pleasures, and tho
day passed without any rain to mar It.
Tho first chair-block occurred Saturday
night, tho Boardwalk vehicles stretching In
a long continuous Una for a score of city
blocks. Every tlmo ono stopped to unload
passengers the entire procession was halted,
nnd many passengers enjoyed about 20
minutes of nctual riding in an hour.
Tho ocean was kicking up a bit yester
day, but thero was no pcrceptlblo under
current nnd tho actual number of rescues
was small, but tho usual number of "as
sists" to timid or frightened bathers wcro
necessary.
It una tho first day for tho display of
freak female bathing suits, but thero wero
not many of them on tho bench or In tho
surf. Navy blue and sombre black wcro
tho colors selected by most of tho females
A few of tho fair sex donned suits mado of
tho regulation skirt reaching to Just aboo
tho knee, with pnntnlettes coming below tho
knoo a few Inches. A pair of socks, not
qulto reaching to tho calf, completed tho
costume, leaving n part of tho leg bare.
Tho wearers of theso suits did not enturo
In tho water, but promenaded on tho sands
and as many of them did not attract tho at

and wholesome, being ten times more nourishing than an equal value of

ofllclnl orders to the owners of some amuse

obeyed by tho smaller fry, the big ploces

scquence doing n. big business. The owners
of shooting galleries, ping-pong nnd other
games nnd n few shows, which could not
afford to pay n fine, oven If It were a small
one, refused to open, Detectives were busy
nit day getting evidence against the places
thnt wcro open. Plain-clothes men pur
chased tickets nnd rodo on racing railways,
merry-go-rounds nnd other amusements of
thnt diameter, and played games of skee
bnll so that they could testify against th
owners In enso warrants aro Issued.
Tho Steeple Chase Pier, all of tho moving
picture theatres and the vaudeville theatres,
which wcro 'not notified to close, gave their
usual weekday shows. In tho vaudeville
theatres scenery nnd costumes wero used,
thero being no effort to mnko tho perform
ances n "sacred" concert. Though police
men Jotted down tho names of managers
or owners of the amusements which Had
como under tho official ban, they paid no
nttentlon to tho theatres, piers nnd other
places that are not officially considered ns
prejudicial to tho morals of visitors or na
tives. It Is fully expected that summons or war
rants will bo Issued for all tho places that
remained open, nnd, If this Is done, thero

lowing others to run on Sundays In exactly
the same manner ns on weekdays.
Tho amusement men who nro deprived of
tho right to run on Sundays say that If
they aro fined for not observing the -Sabbath
laws they will carry tho case to tho highest
courts In tho land nnd If necessary appeal
to the Governor asking for legal action

tract crowds, nnd In those places whero
music wns necessary they pulled tho stops
on plnnos nnd orgnns,so that tho sounds
were much modified and could not bo heard
by tho passer-by.
Tho public seemed to side with tho men
who hnd been ordered to close, for they
pntronlzed those plnces In great numbers
and many of them were loud In their de
nunciations of tho ofllclal orders directed
against certain plnces whllo other amuse
