Well, my dears, you should, If only to see tho crowds of peo ple. Why, they tell mc the first morning Mrs. Emoit Hare, who Is sell-fn-, clothes on tho bal cony, was nearly pushed through tho window, so jreat was tho onrush of bargain huntersand she finally had to scream for help. City Hall had to lend over two pollcemon. All the women are wearing rubber gloves, which sounds as If they distrusted their own goods, doesn't It? But they don't, bless your heart. Why they buy the things themselves. It's Just that It's a very dusty corner and It Is more sanitary anyhow. It would kill you, the things people do buy. I taw one handsomely gowned woman departing to her car armed with half a dozen old high hats. I found that the had said, "I came early on tho scone hoping for these very things. I skin them, you know, and make tho most beautiful handbags you've ever seen." And she departed overjoyed. There were several "gentlemen of color" who had aspirations to become butlers: and were early on the premises looking for dress suits and dinner coats. I'll warrant they got good-looking ones, too. Alto tether It was a refreshing sight to see the agerness displayed by; the would-be buy ers of beautiful things. As I passed in tho afternoon I spied phik satin evening dress hanging in tho Window and a fetching sky blue one was peeping around the corner. 'And every morning thero are now things, you know, so I think my predic tion comes true that you can buy every thing under the sun there.

By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS Author of tho "Tnrzan" Stories riI.lTI3ll VIII Continued HAD paddled lo kio soutlivvcstern point, which Goork said he believed to be the I least frequented portion of the Island, as he had never seen boats put oft from thero. I found a shallow reef running far out Into the sea and rathor precipitous cliffs run ning almost to the surf. It was a nasty place to land, and I realized now why It wus not used by the natives: but nt last I mannged, nftcr a good wetting, to beach my canoe and scale tho cliffs. The country beyond them appeared more open and parklike than I had anticipated since from the mainland the entire coast that Is visible seems densely clothed with tropical Jungle. This Jungle, as 1 could see from the vantage point of the clintop, formed but a relatively narrow strip be tween the sea and the more open roreat and meadow of the Interior. Farther back thero was a range of low but apparently very rocky hills, and hero and there all about were visioie nm-iuu masses of lock small mountains. In fact which reminded me of pictures I had seen of landscapes In New Mexico. Altogether, tho country was very much broken nnd very beautiful. From where I stood I counted no fewer than a dozen streams winding down from among the tablc-buttes and emptying Into a pretty river which Ilowed away In a northeasterly direction toward tho opposite end of tho Island As I let my eyes roam over the scene I suddenly becamo aware of figures mov ing upon tho flat top of a far-distant butte. Whether they were beast or human, though. I could not make out: but nt least thoy were alive, so I determined to prosecute my uearch for Hooja's htronghold In the general direction of this butte. To descend to the valley required no great effort. As I swung along through the lush grass and tho fragrant flowers, my cudgel swinging In my hand and my Javelin looped across my shoulders with Its aurochs-hide strap, I felt equal to any emergency, ready for any danger I had covered quite a ilttle distance and was passing through a strip of wood which lay at the foot of one of the flat topped hills, when I became conscious of tho sensation of being watched My life within Pellucldar has rather quickened my senses of sight, hearing nnd smell, and too. cer tain urlmltlvo Intuitive or Instinctive quali ties that seem blunted In clvllizod man But though I was positive that eyes were upon me I could see no sign of any living thing within the wood other than the many gay-plumaged birds nnd little monkeys which filled the tiees with life, color and action, To you It may seem that my conviction was the result of an overwrought Imagina tion or to the actual reality of the prying eves of the Ilttle monkeys or tho curious ones of the birds, but thero Is a difference which I cannot explain between the sen sation of casual observation mid studied espionage. A sheep might gazo at you without transmitting a wnrnlng through vour subjective mind, because you arc In no danger from a sheep, But let a tiger cuze fixedly at vou from ambush, and unless your primitive Instincts are completely cal V,..,UJ.i vn.i will presently commence to glance furtively about and bo tilled with vague, unreasoning terror. Thus was it with me; then I grasped my cudgel more firmly nnd unslung my Javelin, carrying It In my left hand. I neered to left and right, but I saw nothing. Then all quite suddenly, there fell about by neck and shoulders, around my nrms and body, a number of pliant fiber ropes. In a Jiffy I wfts trussed up as neatly as you might wish. One of the nooses drop ned to my ankles and was Jerked up with a suddenness that brought me to my face unon the ground. Then something heay and hairy sprang upon my back. I fought to draw my knife, but hairy hands grasped my wrists and. dragging thorn behind my back, bound them securely. Next my feet were bound. Then I wns turned over upon my back to look up Into the faces of my captors. And what faces I Imagine If you can a cross between a sheep and a gorilla, and vou will havo soma conception of the phy siognomy of the creature that bent close above me. and of those of the half-dozen others that clustered about. There was tho facial length and ferent eyes of the sheep, and the bull-neck nnd hideous fangs of tho gorilla. Their bodies and limbs were both man and gorilla like. As they bent over me they conversed In a monosyllabic tongue that was perfectly Intelligible to me. It was something of a simplified language that had no need for aught but nouns and verbs, but such words as It Included wero the tame as those, of th human beings of Pellucldar, It was amplified by. many gestures which fljled In toe. peeon;r- 'L : i ' .-jv ' .

One of them swung me to his shoulder ns lightly ns If 1 had been a shont. Ho wns a huge creature, as wero his fellows, stand ing fully seven feet upon his short legs and weighing considerably more than a quarter of a ton Two went ahead of my beater nnd three behind In this older we cut to the right through the forest to the foot of tlm bill, where precipitous liiffs appeared lo bar our further progress in this direction. But my escort never paused. Like ants upon a wall, they scaled that seemingly unscalable barrier, clinging, heaven knows how, to Its ragged, peipendlculnr face. During most of tho short Journey to tho summit I must ndmlt that my hair stood on end. Presently, however, wo topped the thing nnd stood upon the level mesa which crowned It. Immediately from till nbout, out of bur rows nnd rough, rocky lairs, poured n per fect torrent of beasts similar to my captors. They clustered about, Jabbering at my guards and attempting to get their hands upon me, whether from curiosity or a do slre to do mo bodily haim I did not know, since my escort with limed fangs and heavy blows kept them off. Across the inerii we went, to stop nt last before n Inrge pllo of rocks III which nil opening nppi-aied. Here my guards set me upon my feet und called out a word which sounded like "Gr-gr-gr!" und which I later learned was the namo of their king. Presently there emerged from the cavern ous depths of tho lair a monstrous creatine, scarred from a hundred battles, almost hair less nnd with an empty socket whero one cyo had been Tho other eye, shcepllke In Its mildness, gave the .most startling ap pearance to the beast, which but for that single timid orb was the most fearsome thing that one could Imagine. I had encountered tho black, hairless, long-tailed npe-thlugs of the mainland the creatures which Perry thought might constitute tho link between the higher orders of npes and man but these brute men of Gr-gr-gr seemed to set that theory back to zero, for there wns less similarity between the black ape-man and these crea tures than there was between the latter and man. while both had many human at tributes, some of which were better de veloped In one species nnd some In the other. The black apes were hairless and built thatched huts In tholr ni boreal retreats; they kept domesticated dogs and ruminants, In which respect they wero farther ad vanced than tho human beings of Pellucldar, but they appeared to havo only a meager luuguagc, and spoiled long, apellko tails. On the other hand Gr-gr-gr's people were, for the most part, quite hairy, but they wero tailless and had a language similar to that of the human race of Pellucidnr; nor wcie they arboreal. Their skins, whero skin showed, weio white. From the foregoing facts nnd others that I have noted during my long life within Pellucldar, which Is now passing through nn nge analogous to some preglaclal ngo of tho outer crust. I nm constrained to the belief that evolution Is not so much n giaduul transition from one form to nnother as t Is nn accident of breeding, either by crossing or tho hazards of birth. In other words, ll Is my belief that the first man wns a freak of nature nor would one have to draw overstrongly upon his credulity to bo convinced that Gr-gr-gr and his tribe were also freaks. Tho great man-brute seated himself upon a flat rock his throne. 1 Imagine Just be fore the cntrnnce to hls'lalr. With elbows on knees and chin In palms he regarded me Intensely through his lone sheep-eye nhilo one of my captors told of my taking. When all had been related Gr-gr-gr ques tioned me. I shall not nttempt to quote these people In their own abbreviated tongue you would hnve even greater diffi culty In interpreting them than did I. In stead, I shall put the words Into their mouths which will carry to you tho Ideas which they Intended to convey. "Vou' nre an enemy," wns Gr-gr-gr's Initial declaration. "You belong to tho tribe of Hooja," Ah I So they knew Hooja nnd he was their enemy I Oood 1 . "I am an enjny of Ho6Ja." I replied. "H has stolerfy,y mate and I have coma here to take hef away from him and punish Hooja," "How could you do that alone?" "I do not know," I nnswered, "but I should havo tried had you not captured me, What do you Intend to do with meT" "You shall work for us." "You will not kill met" I asked. "We do not kill except in self-defense." he replied; "self-defenso and punishment Those who would- kill us and those who do wron we kill- If we knew that yotf were onisrf'HooJ' people we might .Hyau. .. , ill Uuftk'l . KftftKlft . Urn lilftCftj3r (nmpnny IUaprlntil by special nrmnccment. that you have lied we shall not kill you. You shall work." "If you hate Hooja," I suggested, "why not let me, who hate him, too, go and punish him?" For some time Gr-gr-gr .'.at In thought. Then ho raised his head nnd addressed my guaid. "Take him to his wotk," ho ordered. His tone was final. As If to emphasize it bo turned nnd entered his burrow. My guard conducted mo farther Into the mesa, where, wo camo presently to n tiny depres sion or valley, at one end of which gushed a warm spring. Tho lcvv that opened before me was the most surprising that I havo ever se"en. In the hollow, which must have covered sev eral hundred acres, wero numerous fields of glowing things, nnd working nil nbout with cqude Implements or with no Imple ments at all other than their bare hands were liianv of the brute-men engage (1 In the Hist ngilcultiuo that 1 had seen within Pellucldar. They put mo to work cultivating in a patch of melons. I never was a farmer. nor paitlcularly keen for this sort of work, and 1 am fieo to confess that time never had dragged so heavily as it did during the hour or the year I spent thero at that work. How long It really was I do not know, of course; but It was all too long. The creatines that woiked about me were quite simple and friendly. Ono of them ptoved to bo n son of Gr-gr-gr Ho bad biokcn some minor tiibal law, and was working out his sentence In the fields. He told mo that his tribe had lived upon this hilltop alwas. und that there were other tribes like them dwelling upon other hill tops. They had no wars nnd had always lived In peace and harmony, menaced only by tho larger carnlvora of tho Island, until my kind had come under a creature called Hooja, and attacked nnd killed them when they chanced to descend from their natural fortresses to visit their fellows upon other lofty mesas.
