How do you Imagine peoplo can think

And one does wonder how any ono can

SPEAKING of necessities, did you hear
of the doleful tale about a certain
Voung couple who hoped to bo married
luring tho year? The young lover has
keen doing sufficiently well financially and
they had decided thoy would have enough
Vy the end of the year to go ahead.
then he made a llttlo extra a few weeks
KO and decided he would give his llttlo
iweetheart a handsome bracelet to cele
kratt this extra good luck. So he wont
to several stores and sent out flvo dia
mond bracelets for her to make her
choice of one. She opened the five at
mm and was exclaiming over their
kuty when the phone rang and she wan
ailed to answer it.
MY DEARS, she ran upstairs and left
ftow FIVE bracelets open on tho piano.
When he returned tho whole five had
Usappeared, and whether It was the work
cf a meakthlef or what, they have never
teen iwn since. Jhst imagine It. All
HVE have to be paid for and the hopes
1 matrimony before the year is over
lave gone, for one may not pay for five
fitmond bracelets, ' furnish one's house
,4 live In It for about $3000 a. year. I
fcrialnly am sorry for the poor dears.
But eheer up, perhaps business will get

OW they were afraid; but some d.iy
they would go In a body nnd fall upon
Hooja and his people and slay them all I
explained to him that I was HooJa'R enemy,
and asked, when they wero iead to g".
thnt I be allowed to go with them, or, better
still, that they let mo go ahead and leurn
all that I could nbout the village wheie
Hooja dwelt so that they might attack it
with the best chance of success.
Gr-gr-gr's son seemed much Impressed by
my suggestion. He said that when ho was
throuali In the fields ho would speak to bis
fathelr.il.out tho matter
Some time after this Or-gr-gr came
through tho fields wheie wo were, and his
son spoke to him upon tho subject, but tho
old gentleman was evldentlv In anything
but a good humor, for ho cuffed the young
ster and. turning upon me. Informed mo
that he was convinced that I had lied to
him, nnd that I was one of Hooja's people.
"Wheiefore," ho concluded, "wo sh.ill slay
you as soon as the melons nre cultivated.
Hasten, therefore."
And hasten I did. I hastened to cultivate
the weeds which grew among the melon
vines. Whero there had been one sickly
weed before. I nourished two healthy ones.
When I found a particular promising
variety of weed growing olsewhero than
among my melons, I forthwith dug It up
and transplanted it among my charges.
My masters did not seem to reallie my
perfidy. They saw mo always laboring c lll
gently in tho melon patch, and as time
enters not into the reckoning of Pelluci
darlans een of human beings nnd much
less of brutes and half brutes I might
have lived on Indefinitely through this
subterfugo had not that occurred which
took me out of tho melon patch for good
and nil.
CHATTER IX
Ilnojn's Cutthroats Appear
I HAD built a little shelter of rocks and
brush whero I might crawl In nnd sleep
out of the perpetual light and heat of tho
noonday sun. When I was tired or hungry
I retired to my humble cot.
My masters never Interposed the slightest
objection. As n matter or laci. mey wero
very good to me, nor did I see nught while
I was among them to indicate that they
are ever elso than a simple, kindly folk
when left to themsolves. Their awe-inspiring
size, terrlfio strength, mighty fighting
fangs and hideous appearance are hut the
attributes necessary to tho successful wag
ing of their constant battle for survival, and
well do they employ th'm when the need
arises. The only flesh they eat is that of
herbivorous animals and birds. When they
hunt tho mighty thag, the prehistoric, bos
of the outer crust, a single male, with his
fiber rope, will catch and kill the greatest
of the bulls. ,. ,
Well, as I was about to say, I had this
llttlo shelter at the edge of my melon patch.
Here I waB resting from my labors on a
certain occasion when I heard a great hub
bub in the village, which lay about a
quarter of a ndle away.
Presently a male came racing toward the
field, shouting excitedly. As he approached
r camo from my shelter to learn what all
the commotion might be about, for the
monotony of my existence In the melon
patch must have fostered that trait of
curiosity from which It had always been
my secret boast I am peculiarly free.
The other workers also ran forward to
.. h mqssenKer. who quickly un
burdened himself of his Information, and
as quickly turned and scampered back to
ward the village. When running these
beast-men often go upon all fo$-s. Thus
they leaped over obstacles that would slow
up a human being, and upon the level at
tain a speed that would make a thorough
bred look to his laurels. The result in this
instance was that before I had more than
assimilated the gist of the word which had
been brought to the fields. I was alone,
watching my erstwhile coworkers speeding
vlllagoward.
I was alone ! It was the first time since
my capture that no beast-man had been
within sight of me. I was alone. And all
my captors were In the village at tho op
posite edge of the mesa repelling an attack
of Hooja's horde I
It Beemed from the messenger's- tale that
two of Gr-gr-gr's great males had been set
upon by a half dozen ot Hooja's cutthroats
while the former were peaoeabjy returning
from the thag hunt. The two had returned
to the village unscratched, while but a
single one of Hooja's half dozen had es
caped to report the outcome ot the battle
to their leader.
How Hooja was coming to punish Gr-gr-gr'B
people. With hla large force armed
with the bowa and arrows that Hooja had
learned from me to make, with long lances
and aharp knives, I feared that even the
mighty atrength of the beast-men could
avail them but little.
At last had come the opportunity tor
which I vraltedl I was froo to make for
the far and. of the mesa, find my way to
the valley below, and while the two forces
wera engaged ln their struggle, continue
my search for Hooja's village, which I
had learned from th beaat-rae-n lay farther
on down the river that I had been follow
ing' whan taken prUonar.
Am I turnad to make for tha mast's rim
MOMENTS
with the half-beastly
roars and growls
of thn lirute-folk.
Did I take advantage of my opportunity?
I did not Instead, lured by tho din of
strife nnd by the deslto to deliver a
Mioko, however feeble, against hated
liooja, I wheeled and ran dlrectl) toward
me village.
When I reached the edge of the plateau
such a scene met my imtnnihhed gaze as
never before had startled It. for the unlquo
battle-methods of the half brutes were
rather the most lemarkablo I had over
witnessed. Alone the very edge of the
cllfC-topi stood a thin line of mighty males
the best rope-thtowers ot the tribe. A
few fret behind thrso the rest of the males,
with the exception of nbout twenty, f mined
a second line. Still farther In the rear all
the women and oung children were clus
tered Into a single group under the pro
tection of the remaining twenty lighting
males and nil tho old males.
Rut It was the work of the first two
lines that Interested me The forces of
Hooja .i great hordo of savago Sagoths
and primeval cave men were working their
way up the steep cllff-facc, their agility
but slightly less than that of my cantors
who -had clambered so nimbly aloft even
he who was 'burdened by my weight.
As the attackem camo on tney paused
occasionally wherever a projection gave
them sufficient foothold and launched nr
rows nnd spears nt tho defenders above
them. During the entire battle both sldeB
hurled taunts nnd Insults at one another
the human beings naturally excelling the
brutes In tho coarseness nnd vllcnes-j of
their vilification nnd Invective.
The "firing-lino" of tho brute-men
wielded no weapon other than their long
fiber nooses, When a foeman came within
range of tlicm a non.so would settle uner
ringly about him and he would bo dragged,
fighting and yelling, to the cliff-top, unless,
as occasionally occurred, he was quick
enough to draw his knife and cut the rope
above him, In which event he usually
plunged downward to a no less certain
death than that which awaited him above.
Those who were hauled up within reach
of the powerful clutches of the defenders
had the nooses snatched from them and
wero catapulted back through the first line
to the second, whero they wero seized
and killed by tho simple expedient of
single powerful closing of mighty fangs
upon tho backs of their necks.
But the arrows of the Invaders were
taking a much heavier toll than the nooses
of the defenders, and I foresaw that it
was but a matter of time before Hooja's
forces must conquer unless the brute-men
changed their tactics, or the cave men tired
of the battle.
Gr-gr-gr was standing in tho center of
tho first line All nbout him were boulders
and large fragments of broken rock. I
approached him am without a word top
pled a large mass of rock over the edge of
the cliff. It fell directly upon tho head
of an archer, crushing him to Instant death
and carrying his mangled corpse with it
to the bottom of the declivity, and, on its
way brushing three more of the attackers
Into the hereafter.
Gr-gr-gr turned toward me In surprise.
For an Instant he appeared to doubt the
sincerity of my motives. I felt that per
haps my time had come when ho reached
for me with one of his giant paws; but I
dodged him, and running a few paces to
the right hurled down, another mlssle. It.
too, did its allotted work of destruction.
Then I picked up smaller fragments and
with all the control and accuracy for
which I had earned Justly deserved fame
In my collegiate days I rained down a hall
ot death upon those beneath me.
Or-gr-gr was coming toward me again.
I pointed to the litter of rubble upon the
cliff-top.
"Hurl these down upon the "enemy!" I
cried to him. "Tell your warriors to throw
rocks down upon them!"
At my words the others of the first line,
who had been Interested spectators of my
tactics, seized upon great boulders or bits
of rock, whlcbover came first to their hands,
and, without waiting for a command from
Gr-gr-gr, deluged the terrified cave men
with a perfect avalanche of stone. In less
than no time the cliff-face was stripped
of enemies nnd the village of Gr-gr-gr was
saved.
Gr-gr-'gr was standing beside me when
the last of the cave men disappeared In
rapid flight down the valley. Ha was
looking at me Intently.
"Those were your people," he said. "Why
did you kill them.?"
"They were nof my people." I returned.
"I have told you that before, but you
would not believe me.. Will you believe
me now when I tell you that I hate Hooja
and his tribe as much as you doV Will you
believe me when I tell you that I wish to
be the friend of Gr-gr-gr?"
For some time he stood there beside me
scratching his head. Evidently It wax no
less difficult for him to readjust his precon-,
celved conclusions man u is tor most human
beings; but finally the Idea percolated
which It might never have done had ha been
a man. or I might, qualify that statement
by aaylnf had he been soma men. Finally
ha spoke.
Qllak," ,ha said, "you hava mads Gr-gr-r
ashamed.- He would hava killed you.
How pan ha reward you"
"Mt irx, rcpiiu quiesiy,
V
with us. If you to you may always re
turn. We are your friends."
Naturally, I elected to go. I explained
all over again to Gr-gr-gr the nature of
my mission. He listened attentively; after
I had gone he offered to send some of his
people with me to guide me to Hooja's
village, I was not slow In accepting his
offer.
First, however, we must eat. Tho hunt
ers upon whom Hooja's men had fallen
had brought back the meat ot a great thag.
There would bo n feast to commemorate the
victory a feast and dancing.
I had never witnessed a tribal function
of tho brute-folk, though I had often heard
strango sounds coming from tho village,
where I had not been allowed since my
capture. Now I took part in one of their
orgies.
It will live forever In my memory. The
combination of bestiality nnd humanity was
oftentimes pathetic, nnd again grotesque or
horrible. Beneath tho glaring noonday sun,
In tho sweltering heat of the mera. top,
the huge, hairy creatures leaped In a great
circle. They colled and threw their fiber
ropes; they hurled taunts and Insults nt an
Imaginary foe; they fell upon tho carcass
of the thag nnd literally tore It to pieces;
nnd they ceased only when, gorged, they
could no loiuter move.
I had to wait until the process of diges
tion had released my escort from Its torpor.
Some had eaten until their abdomens wero
so distended that I thought they must hurst,
for beside tho thag there had been fully n
hundred antelopes of various sizes and
varied degrees of decomposition, which they
had unearthed from burial beneath the
floors of their lairs to grace the banquet
board.
But at last we wei started six great
main- and myself Gr-gr-gr lud returned
my weapons to me, and nt last I was once
more upon my oft-lnterruptrd way toward
my goal, Whether I should find Dlan at
tho end of my Jnuiney or not I could not
even surmise, but I was none tho less im
patient to be off, for If only tho worst
lay In storo for me I wished to know even
the worst nt one"
1 could scarce believe that my proud
mate would still be alive In the power of
IlooJa; but time upon Pellucldar Is so
strango a thing that I realized that to her
oi to blm only a fow minutes might have
rlnpseil slnco his subtlo trickery ' had en
abled him to steal her away from Phutra
Or she might have found tho means either
to repel his advances or escape him.
As we descended the cliff we disturbed
a great pack of laige hyena-like beasts
hyaena spelacus. Perry calls them who
were busy among the corpses of tie cave
men fallen in battle. The ugly creatures
wero far from the cowardly things that our
own hyenas are reputed to be; they stood
their ground with bared fangs as we ap
proached them. But, as 1 was later to
learn, so formidable aro the brute-folk that
there aro few even of tho larger carnlvora
that will not make way for them when they
go abroad. So the hyenas moved a little
from our lino of march, closing In ng.im,
upon their feusts when we had passed
We made our vvny steadily down the
rim ot the beautiful liver which flows the
length of the Island, coming at last to a.
wood rather denser than nny that I had
before encountered in this country Well
within this forest my escort halted
"There'" they said, and pointed ahead.
"ve are to go no farther.
Thus having guided me to my destination
they left me. Ahead ot me, through the
trees, I could see what appeared to be the
foot of a steep hill. Toward this I made
my way. The forest ran to the very base
of a cliff. In tho face of which were the
mouths of many caves They appeared un
tenanted: but I decided to watch for a
while before venturing farther. A largo
tree, densely follaged, offered a splendid
vantage point fiom which to spy upon the
cliff, so I clambered among Its branches
where, securely hidden, I could watch what
transpired about the caves.
It seemed that I had scarcely settled my
self in a comfortablo position before a
party of cave men emerged fiom one of
the smaller apertures In the cliff face, about
fifty feet from the base. They descended
Into the forest and disappeatcd. Soon after
came several others from tho same cave,
a scoru of women and children, who came
into the wood to gather fruit There wero
several warriors with them a guard, I
presume.
After this camo other parties, and two
or thrco groups who passed out of the
forest nnd up the cliff face to enter tho
same cave I could not understand It. Ail
who had come out had emetged from the
same cave. All who returned re-entered It.
No other cave gave evidence of habitation,
and no cave but ono of extraordinary size
could have accommodated all the people
whom I bad seen pass in and out of Its
mouth. For a long time 1 sat and watched
the coming nnd going of great numbers
of the cave folk. Not once did one leave
the cliff by any other opening save that
from which I had seen tho first party
come, nor did any re-enter the cliff through
another aperture.
What a cave it must be, I thought, that
houses an entire tribe! But, dissatisfied
of the truth of my surmise, I climbed higher
among the branches of the tree that I might
get a better view of other portions of the
cliff High nbovo tho ground I reached a
point where I could see the summit of the
hill Evidently It-was a flat-topped butte
similar to that on which dwelt the tribe
of Gr-gr-gr.
As I sat gazing at It a figure appeared
at the very edge. It was that of a young
girl in whoso hair was a gorgeous bloom
plucked from some fioweiing tree of the
forest. I had seen her pass beneath mo
but a short while before and enter tho small
cave that had swallowed all of the re
turning tribesmen.
The mystcrv was solved. The cave was
hut tho mouth of a passage that led up
ward through the cliff to the summit of
tho hill. U served merely ns an avenue
from their lofty citadel to the valley below,
No sooner had the truth flashed upon
me than the realization came that I must
seek some other, means of reaching the
village for to pass unobserved through this
well-traveled thoroughfare would be Im
possible. At the moment there was no one
poss inc. T ... ,.viv from
in slgnt dbiow inc. -- -- --
b . i ...trtu inu'nr in th crnund
ami moved rapidly away to the right with
She Intention of circling the hill If neces
aarv until I had found an unwatched spot
whero 1 might have some slight chance of
baling the .heights and reaching the top
unseen.
