How many of us will live to look back on this day JUty years from now i,.
there was that great rally of thousands of people nt tho "Cradle of Libert v and
'!lrr'"!lPrCJl3 i.?"8'!:6"1..0 ft'r 8 t0 "lori-u. United .!
ilde. As I visited tho Red Cross
I was wonderfully struck with tho
things different women offered to do, J
and I must say I was profoundly
impressed! with tho fact that It ls a
great pity that tho scoffing onlooker
of society docs not really know how
very, very few vapid thoughts tho
society woman of today has. How
girls aro learnings wigwagging, wire
less, chauffeurlng tind some even
aviating. How tho women who are
aoclal leaders in tho town sit from 9
In tho morning till 5 Irv tho after
noon, taking down names, answer
ing phone calls, giving Instructions,
whilo classes In cooking, classes In
first aid, in bandaging and tho mak
ing of surgical dressings are going
on In every direction.
There's Mrs. Walter Clark's big
class, which meets on Mondays out
at her Chestnut Hill home, and the
Mount Airy Branch of the Red
Cross is busily at work. The Jenkln
town and" Huntingdon Valley branch
of the Red Cross, tho charter of
which was procured by Mrs. George
H. Lorlmer quite recently, ls doing
splendid work. Altogether, we have
women of whom we nrc more than
proud. For they never yet have been
found wanting when there Is a great
crisis In tho history of the country.
Think of Molly Pitcher, Lydia Dar
rah, Barbara Frletchlo and tho many,
many unknown heroines of the past.
Who knows but she may do down
to history as a heroine of the pres
ent times?
SPEAKING of preparedness, did
you know that Mariana Gowen
la actually working In a garage and
learning all tho Intricate parts of an
automobile, and that when she
finishes tho course she will be con
sidered fully qualified to take a Car en
tirely apart and put it together again? It
, may be all right to take a car apart,
you might say, perhaps many could
, do that, but to know just where each
little bit goes anil to bo ablo to put
each part Into Its proper place again Is
man's Job, but Mariana does not think
so; she reasons that the time may come
when there will be no men at home and
when women will bo mighty glad to be
' able to know how to do these things, and
yet this girl was a debutante of last year
feted and entertained at even' turn,
ball after ball was given for her, and you
ee it has not'turned her head. Nor does
It turn tho heads of many of our fine
young women. t They give a year to It as
'' a duty almost, and then, though they do
'not give up going to parties and having
good .times, they turn their attention to
serious work. The butterfly of society
and fashion is a thing of the past. Women
of these times aro certainly up and
doing, don't you think?
AND now, my dears, Just to give you
l. something to guess nbout. There ls
an interesting engagement coming out
the middle of next month, and perhaps
you -won't be awfully surprised when you
hear It, for, you see, tho fiancee In the
case has written to some of her very
bestest friends and said, "Now don't tell
It until after March 1G," so, naturally,
when the letters came way after March 15
they felt at liberty to talk about it; but,
bless your heart, 'twas a slip of tho pen,
not the tongue, so to speak, and she was
bo used to writing March she just nat
urally wrote It when she meant to say
April. So I had to promise I would not
M you all in on It yet. It's a nice one,
though. Tho girl is very vivacious, and
has one of the most appealing expressions
I have ever seen. She has big brown
eyes and brown hair, and is quito small;
she is very much In earnest in the matter
of doing good to others. She lives out
toward tho Main Line. They tell me the
attractive looking man has been devoted
to her for nearly four years. It shows
that "faint heart never won," doesn't It?
Bo take on courage, swains who are per
severing Jn love despite many "turn
downs." Perhaps the lady of your heart
will relent, as several I know of have.
Oh, yes, there's another, but that won't
be announced for some time And It's
mighty nice, too. NANCY WYNNE.

CHAPTER V (Continued)
AS WE
neared the spot where I hoped to
the little valley, 1 became more
and moro confident of success. Every land
mark was familiar to me, and I was sure
now that I Knew the exact location of tho
cave.
It was at about this time that I sislited
a number of the half-naked vvaniors of tho
human race of Pellucld.ir They were
marchlntr across our fiont. At slRht of us
they halted. That there would he a llslit
I could not doubt. These SaRntlis would
never permit an opportunity for the capture
of slaves for their Mahar masters to escape
them.
I saw that tho men wero armed with
bows and arrows, Ions lances and swords, bo
I Riiessod that they must have been mem
bers of the federation, for only my people
had been thus equipped! Before Perry
nnd I came the men of Pellucldar had only
the crudest weapons wherewith to slay one
another.
The SaRoths, too, were evidently expecting
battle. vVlth bavage shouts thoy rushed
forward toward the human warriors
Then a strance thluK happened The
leader of the human beinRs stepped for
ward with upraised hands. Tho XiiRoths
ceased their war-cries and advanced slowly
to meet him Thero was a Ioiir parley,
durlnR which I could sco that I was often
tho subject of their discourse. The .SaROths'
leader pointed in the direction in which I
had told him the valley lay. Evidently
he was explalnliiR the nature of our ex
pedition to the leader of the warriors. It
was all a puzzle to me
What human being could bo upon such
excellent terms with the Rorlllainen?
I couldn't Imagine I tried to get a
Rood look at the fellow, but the Sagoths
had left me In the rear with a guard when
they had advanced to battle and the dis
tance was too great for me to rccusnlze the
fcatuies of any of the human beltiRs.
Finally the parley was concluded and
the men continued on their way while tho
Sagoths returned to wlieie I stood with
my Ruard. It was tlmo for eating, so we
stopped where we were and made our meal.
Tho S.-iRoths didn't tell mo who It was they
had met. and I did not ask, thouRh I must
confess that I was quito curious.
They permitted me to sleep at this halt.
Afterward wo took up tho last leg of our
journey. I found the valley without diffi
culty, and led my Ruard dliectly to tho
cave, At Its mouth tho SaRoths halted and
I entered nlone.
I noticed as I felt about the floor In
the dim llRlit that thero was a pile of
fresh-turned rubble there. Presently my
hands came to the Hot where the great
becret had been burled There was a cavity
where I had carerully smoothed the earth
over the hldlng-placo of the document the
manuscript was gone !
Frantically 1 searched the whole In
terior of the cave several times over, but
without other result than a complete con
firmation of my worst fears. Somo one had
been here ahead of me and stolen the great
secret !
The ono thing within Pellucldar which
might free Wan and mo was roiic, nor was
It likely that I should ever learn Its where
abouts. If a Jtabar had found it, which
was quite Improbable, the chances were
that the dominant race would never divulge
tho fact that they had recovered th precious
document. If a cave man had happened
upon it ho would have no conception of Its
meaning or value, and ns a consequence It
would be lost or destroyed In short order.
With boned head and broken hopes I
came out of the cavo and told tho papoth
chleftlan what I had discovered. It didn't
mean much to the fellow, who doubtless
had but little better idea of the contents of
the document I had been sent to fetch to
his masters than would the cavo man who
In all probability had discovered it.
The Sagoth knew only that I had failed
In my mission, so ho took advantage of the
fact to make the return Journey to Phutra
as disagreeable as possible. I did not rebel,
though I had with me the means to destroy
them nil. I did not dare rohel because of
the consequences to Dlan. I Intended de
manding her release on the grounds that
she was In no way guilty of the theft, and
that my failure to recover tfie document
had. not lessened tho value of the good faith
I had had In offering to do so. The Mahars
might keep me In slavery If they chose, but
Dlan should bo returned safely to her
I was full of my scheme when we entered
Phutra and I was pnducted directly to the
great audience-chamber. The Jtahars lis
tened to the report of tho Sagoth chieftain,
and so difficult is it to Judge their emotions
from their aimosi expressionless kuhihc
nances that I was at a loss to know how
terrible might be thlr wrath as they learned
that their great secret, upon which reBted
the fate of their race, might now be Irre
trievably losj:.
Presently I could see that she who pre
sided was communicating something to the
Sagoth Interpreter doubtless something to
be transmitted to me which might give me a
forewarning of the fate which lay In store
for me. One thing I had decided definitely: .
If they would not free Dlan I should turn
loose upon Phutra with my IM arsenal.
Atona I mlcht even wlh to fMedoni. and, If

"The mighty JIal.ars," he said, "aro un
able to reconcile your htatement that the
document Is lost with our action in send
Iiir it to tliem by a special niessencer.
They wish to know If oti have so soon
forgotten the tiuth or If you are merely
Ignoring It "
"I sent them no document," I cried "Ask
them what they mean."
"They say," he went on nfter conversing
with the Mahar for a moment, "that JUBt
before you returned to Phutra HooJ.i the
Sly Ono iMine, .biliiRliiR the Rieat secret
with lilin lie said that you had sent him
ahead with It, asking him to deliver It and
return to Sail whero you would await him,
biinRlng the glil with him "
"Dlan?" I gasped. "The Mahars have
Riven over Dlan Into the keeping of llooja."
"Surely," he replied. "What of It? Sho
Is only a gllak," ns you or I would say,
"Sho Is only a cow "
rn.PTi:it vi
A I'endent World
THE Mahars set me free ds they had
promised, but with strict Injunctions
never to approach Phutra or any other
Jl.ihar city. They alsy made It perfectly
plain that they considered mo a dangerous
creature, and that having wiped the slate
clean In so far a they wero under obliga
tions to me. they now considered me fair
prey. Should I again fall Into their hands,
they Intimated. It would go 111 with me.
They would not teJ me In which direction
llooja had set foith with Dlan, so I de
parted from Phutra filled with bitterness
against the Mahars and rape toward the
Sly Ono who had once again robbed me of
my Rreatcst treasure.
At first I was minded to go directly back
to Anoroc; but upon second thouRht turned
my f.ico toward Sari, ns I felt that some
whero In that direction llooja would travel
his own country lying In that general di
rection. Of my Journey to Sari It Is only ncces-
say to say that It was fraught with the
usual excitement nnd adventure incident to
all travel across the face of savage Pellucl
dar. Tho dangers, however, were greatly
reduced through the medium of my arma
ment. I often wondered how It had hap
pened that I had ever survived tho first
ten years of my life within the Inner world,
when, naked and primitively armed, I had
traversed great aieas of her beast-ridden
surface.
With tho aid of my map, which T !
kept with great care during my march w ..
the Sagoths in bearch of tho gre.it seer. t,
1 arrived at Sari at last. As I topped the
lofty plateau in whose rocky cliffs the
pilnclpal tribo of Sarlans llnd their cave
homes a great hue and cry arose froin
those who first discovered me.
Elko wasps from their nests the hairy
warriors poured from their caves. The bows
with their poison-tipped nrrows which I had
taught them to fashion and to use wero
raised against me Swords of hammered
lion another nf my innovations men
aced me, as with lusty shouts the horde
chaiged down.
It was a critical moment. Before I
should be recognized I might be dead. It
was evident that all semblance of Inter
tribal relationship had ceased with my ro
Iiir, and that my people had reverted to
their former savage, suspicious hatred of
all strangers. My garb must havo puzzled
them, too, for never before, of course, had
they seen a man clothed In khaki and put
tees. Leaning my express rifle nR.ilnst my
body I raised both hands aloft. It was
tho peace bIrii that Is recognized every
where upon the surface of Pellucldar. The
charging warriors paused and surveyed me.
I looked for my friend Ohak, tho Hairy
One, king of Sari, and presently I saw him
coming from a distance Ah, but It was
good to see his mighty, hairy form once
mora ! A friend was nh.tk a friend well
worth the having: and It had been some
time since I had seen a friend.
Shouldering his way through the throng
of warriors, tho mighty chieftain advanced
toward me. There was an expression of
puzzlement upon his fine features. He
crossed tho space between the warriors and
myself, halting beforo me.
I did not speak. I did not even smile.
T wanted to see If Ghak, my principal lieu
tenant, would recognize me. For some time
ho stood thero looking me over carefully.
His eyes took In my large pith helmet, my
khaki Jacket, and bandoleers of cartridge,
tho two revolvers swinging nt my hips, the
largo rifle resting against my body. Still
I stood with my hands above my head. He
examined my puttees and my strong tan
shoes a llttlo the worse for wear now.
Then he glanced up once more to my face.
As his gaze rested there quite steadily for

some moments I saw recognition tinged with
awe creep across his, countenance. ,
Presently without a word he took one
of my hands In his and dropping to one
knee raised my fingers to his lips. Perry
had taught them this trick, nor 'ever did
the most polished courtier of all the grand
courts of Europe perform the little act of
homage with greater grace and dignity.
Quickly I raised Olhak to his feet, clasp
ing both his hands In mine. I think there
must have been tears In my eyes then
I know I felt too full for words. The king
of Sari turned toward his warriors.
"Our emperor has come back," he an
nounced. "Come hither and "
But he got no further, for the shouts
that broke from thoso savage throats would
have drowned the voice of heaven Itself. I
had never guessed how much they thought
of me. As they clustered around, almost
fighting for the chance to kins my hand, I
saw again tho vision of empire which I
had thought faded forever,
With such an theso I could conquer a
world. With such ns these I would con
quer one! If the Sarlans had remained
loyal, so, too, would tho Amozltcs be loyal
still, and the Kalians, nnd tho Suvlans, and
nil the great tribes who had formed tho
federation that was to emancipate the
human race of Pellucldar.
Perry was safe with the Mezops: I was
safe with the Sarlans; now If Dlan were but
safo with me tho future would look bright
Indeed.
It did not take long to outline to (Jhak
all that had befallen mo since I had de
parted from Pellucldar, and to get down to
tho business of finding Dlan, which to me
at that moment vvns of even greater Im
portance than tho very empire Itself.
When 1 told him that llooja had stolen
ner no stamped his foot In rage.
"It is always the Sly One!" he cried
"It was llooja who caused the first trodble
between you and the Beautiful One.
"It was llooja who betrayed our trust
and all but caused our recapture by the
Sagoths that tlmo we escaped from Phutra.
"It was llooja who tricked you and sub
stituted a JIahar for Dlan when you started
upon your return journey to your own
world.
"It was llooja who schemed nnd lied
until he had turned the kingdoms one
against another and destroyed tho federa
tion. "When we had him In our power we
were foolish to let him live. Next time"
Ghak did not need finish his sentence
"He has become a very powerful enemy
now," I replied "That he Is allied In some
way with the Mahars Is evidenced by the
familiarity of his relations with the Sagoths
who wero accompany Iiir me In search of
the Rrcat secret, for it must havo been
Hooja who I saw conversing with them
Just before we reached tho valley. Doubt
less they told him of our quest nnd he has
tened on ahead of us, discovered the cave
and stole tho document. Well does he dc
vervo his nppellatlon of tho Sly One."
With Ghak and his head men I held a
number of consultations. The upshot of
them was a decision to combine our search
for Dlan with an attempt to rebuild the
crumbled federation.
