A itory was told mo recently by a tottering Mask and "Wlgger of the earlV days. "You get I was to bo a lady in a rolling chair on tho Atlantic City Boardwalk, and In THOSE days I was sylphlike (you may not believe it, but true It was), and unfortu nately my supports woro veiy long and very, oh, very thin, so after giving tho matter much thought I hied me to Miss at the coatumer's. and confided to her my awful secret. 'Don't worry, my dear,' said she. 'I'll give you a pair of legs to be proud of.' So she gave mo one of those buckram contrivances which make shapely understandings, and, ar rayed In all my glory, with biown frock and golden curls, I was pushed on to the stage in my chair, night to the f i out we went, but right there on tho front row was a mean cuss who cried out to his best rirl. 'Pine Jim's legs'.' Like, all men Jim could not stand ridicule, and so ho then and thero as soon as his chorus left the stag proceeded to removo the fmck. ram understandings and returned In the liter acts with the pipe stems Instead." AMONG those who will entertain at tho first performance tonight nro Mr. and Mrs. Joseph S, Covering, who will give a dinner for their daughter Mary nt the Rltz-Carlton before tho show. Tho Gua tavus Wynne Cooks will glvo a dinner and theatre party for Emley, who Is to make her debut next xx'lntcr.

Barton Town lend, Jr., of Overbrook, and the Perry Aliens will entertain for Gabriella Hop ktnson and Jay Patterson, who are to be married Saturday of this week. IT APPEARS that a rumor has gone About that Mr. and Mrs. Mantle Field ing will entertain at the Philadelphia Cricket Club tonight. Isn't it funny how these Ideas get about with no foundation whatsoever? N'ot only are tho Fleldings not going to give a dance, but they never even thought of giving one. Perhaps the rumor started through somo one's Idea of a practlcat Joke, but It seems to me, a pretty poor one. rpHERE will probably bo very few if any entertainments during the coming weeks, unless npd Cross work is the object In view, as Americans will not bo aptlo,spend freely in entertaining while the country is at war. There will be many things for us to spend ourv pennies on besides enjoyment. However, as all ' Work, much sorrow and no play may make Jack a more than dull and melan- , veholy boy, a little enjoyment, or rather Wcreatlon, now and then will not be mis nnderstood. NANCV WYNNE.

By EDGAR UICE BURROUGHS Author of the "Tarzan" Stories CIIAl'TRR X (Continued) T HEARD the sound of a scuine In tho net --caxe. Then my lingers sank Into looso l rock and earth in the sldo of the cave, In an Instant 1 realized xxhy I had been unable to find the opening xxhile I had been lightly feeling the surface of tho xvalls Dlan had blocked up tho hole t,ho had made lest It arouse suspicion and lead to an early dlscoxery of Juag's csJfcpe. Plunging my xx eight against the crum bling mass, I sent it crashing Into tho ad joining rax em With It camu I, David, Emperor of Pcllucldar 1 doubt If any other potentate In a xxorld's history ever made a morn undignified entiance I landed head first on all fours, btit 1 came quickly and xx-as on my feet before the man In tho dark guessed xvhat had happened . Ho saxv me, though, when I arose and, sensing that no filend caino thus precipi tately, turned to meet mo ox-en ns l enargen him, I had my stone knifo In my hand, and ho had his In tho darkness of the caxe there xvas little opportunity for a dls. play of science, though even at that I en turn to say that xve fought a xery pretty duel. Before I came to Pellucidar I do not re call that I ex-er had seen a stone knife, and I am sure that 1 nex-er fought xvlth a knifo of any description : but now I do not have to take my bat off to any of them xvhen it comes to xvleldlng that primitive yet xvicked xveapon I could Just see Dlan In the darkness, but I knew that sho could not see my fea tures or recognize me; and I enjoyed In anticipation, oxen xvltile I xvns lighting for her life and mine, her dear joy xvhen she should discover that it xxas I xxhn xxas her dellxercr. My opponent xxas largo, but he also xxas active and no mean knife-man. He caught mo once fairly In the shoulder I carry the scar yet, and shall carry It to the grave. And then ho did a foolish thing, for as I leaped back to gain a Becond In which to calm the shock of the xvound he rushed after me and tried to clinch. He rather neglected bis knife for tho moment In his greater desire to get bis hands on me. Seeing the opening. I swung my left list fairly to the point of his jaxv Dnxvn he xvent. Before ex-er he could scramble up again I xlns on him and had buried my knife in his heart. Then I Btood up and thero xvas Dlan facing me and peering nt me through the dense gloom. "You nre not Juag '" she exclaimed. "Who nre you?" I took a step toxx-ard her, my arms out stretched "It Is I. Dlan," I said "It is D.ivld " At the sound of my xoice she gaxe a lit tle cry In xxhlch tears xvero mlnglpd a pathetic little cry that told me all without xvords hoxv far hope had gone fiom her and then she ran forxvard and threw her self in my arms. I roxcred her perfect lips and her beautiful face xvlth kisses, nnd stroked her thick black hair, and told her again and again xvhat she already knexx- xvhat she had known for years that I loxed her better than all else xvhlch two xvorlds had to offer. W9 couldn't dex-oto much time, though, to the happiness of lox-emak-ing, for xx-e xvere In tho midst of enemies xvho might dlscox-er us at any moment. I drexv her Into the adjoining caxe Thence xve made our x-ay to the mouth of the caxe that had glx-en me entrance to the cliff Here I recorinolterod for a mo ment, and seeing tho coast clear, ran sxvlftly forth xvlth Dlan at my sldo. Wo dodged around the cllff-cnd, then paused for an instant, listening. No sound reached our, ears to Indicate that any had seen us, and xve moxed cautiously onward along the xx ay by xvhlch I bad come. ' As we xvent Dlan told me that her cap tors had Informed her hoxv close I had come In te.uch of her ex en to the Land of Axvful Shadoxv and hoxv one of HooJ.x's men xxho knexx me had dltcoxercd mo asleep and lobbed me of all my posses sions And then how IIooJn had sent four others to find mn nnd tako me prisoner. But these men, she said, had not et returned, or at least sho had not heard of their return. "Nor xvlll you ever." I responded, "for they ha-o gone to that place xx hence none ex-er returns." I related my adventure xvlth these four We bad come almost to the cljft edge where Juag should be axxaitlng us xvhen xx'o saxv txx-o men walking tapldly toxx-ard the same spot from another direction They did not see us, nor did they see Juag, whom I now dlscox-ered hiding behind a loxv bush close to the erge of tho precipice xvhlch diops Into the sea at this point. As quickly as possible, without exposing ourselxcs ton much to the enemy, xve hastened forxvard that xve might leach Juag as quickly as they. But they noticed him first and Irnme dlately charged him, for one of them had been his guard, and they had both been sent to search for him, his escape having been dlscox'ered betxveen tin time be left the caxe and the time, xvhen I reached it. Evidently they liad xxasted precious moments Jooktng for him In otner portions oi me mesa. When I saxv that the two of them xx-cre rushing him, I called out to attract their nttention to the fact that they had more than a single man to cope xvlth. They paused at the sound of my voice and looked nliout. 4 When they dlscox-ered Dlan and me they exchanged n fexv xx-ords, and one of them continued toxvard Juag while the other turned upon us. As he came neater I saxv that he carried In his hand one of my six shooters, but he xvas holding It by the barrel evidently mistaking It for some sort of xx-ar club or tomahawk, I could scarce lefraln r grin when I thought of the vrasted possibilities of that deadly. re-olx-er In the hands of an un tutored xvarrlor1 of the stone age. Hnd he but reversed It and pulled the trigger he might still be alix-ej maybe ho is for all I know, since I did not kill him then. When he xvas about twenty feet from me I flung my Javelin with a quick movement that I had learned from Ghak. Ho ducked to avoid it and instead of receiving It in his heart, for which It was Intended, ho g4 It or tho ,,0, 0t the bid. 'opvrlBht Life Pulillxlilng I'ompnnx Itfprlntfd li np'-ilnl rrsnKf ment, of eminent scientists at Babble-On, Lonp Island, glanced tnxxard Juag. Ho xx-as haxlng a most CM-ltlng time The fclloxv pitted against Juag xx-as a xerltablo giant; be xxas hacking nnd hexxlug axxay at tho poor slax-o xvlth a xlllalnous-looklng knifo that might baxo been designed for butchering masto dons. Step by step be xxas forcing Juag back toxx-ard the edge of the cliff xvlth a fiendish cunning that permitted his ndx-cr-sary no chance to side-step the terrible con sequences of retreat In this direction I saxv quickly that In another moment Jung must deliberately hurl himself to death oxer tho edge of the precipice or bo pushed oxer by his foeman. And as I saxx Juag's predicament 1 saxx-, too. In the same Instant, a way to relieve him Leaping quickly to tho sldo of the felloxv I had Just felled, I snatched up my fallen rexolx-er It was a desperate chanco to tako, and I realized It in tho Instant that I threxv the gun up from my hip and pulled the trigger There xx-as no time to aim. Juag xxas upon tho very brink of the chasm. His relentless foe xvas pushing him hard, beating at him furiously xvlth the heavy knife And then' the rex-olx-er spoke loud and sharp The giant threxv bis hands abnxe his head, xxhlrlcd about like a huge top, and lunged forxxnrd oxer the precipice. And Ju.tg? He cast a single affrighted glance In my direction ncxer before, of course, had he heard tho report of a firearm and xvlth a howl of dismay he, too. turned nnd plunged head foremost from sight. Horror-struck, I hastened to tho brink of tho abyss just In time to see two splashes upon the surface nf tho little cox-e below For an "instant I stood thero xxatchlng xvlth Dlan at my side Then, to my utter amazement I saxv Juag rise to tho surface and swim strongly toxx-ard the boat The felloxv had dix-ed that incredible dis tance and come up unhnrmed ' I called to him to nxvalt us beloxv. assur ing him that he need bax-c no fear of my xxenpon. since It xx-ould harm only my ene mies He shook his head nnd muttered something xxhlch 1 could not hear at so great a distance; but xxhen I pushed him he promised to xv.ilt for us. At the same Instant Dlan caught my arm and pointed toxvard the xlllage My shot had biought a croxx-d of natives on the run toxvard us The felloxv xvhom I had stunned xvlth my jaxelln had regtlned consciousness and rcrambled to bis fret He xxas noxv lacing ns fast as he could go back toxvard his peoplo It looked mighty dark for Dlan and mn xvlth that ghastly descent betxveen us and even the beginnings of liberty, and a horde of sax ago enemies adx-anclng at a rapid run There xxan but ono hope That was to get Dlan started for the bottom without delay. 1 took her In my arms Just for on Instant I felt, somehow, that it might be for the last time. For the ,lifn of mo I couldn't see hoxv both of us could escape. I asked her If sho could make the descent alone if she xvere not afraid She smiled up at nie bravely and shrugged her shoul ders. Sho afraid ! tin beautiful Is she that I am always having difficulty In remember ing that sho Is a pilmltix-e. half-sax age cave girl of the stone age. and often flnd myself mentally limiting her capacities to those of tho effeto and overcivlllzed beauties of the outer crust "And you?" sho asked as she sxvung over tho edge of the cliff. "I shall follow you after I take a shot or txvo at our friends," 1 replied. "I Just xvant to glxo them a taste of this nexv medi cine xvh'ch Is going to cure Pellucidar of all its Ills That xvlll stop them long enough for mo to join you. Now hurry and tell Juag to bo ready to shox-e off the moment I reach tho boat, or tho Instant that It be comes apparent that I cannot reach it "You, Dlan, must return to Sari if any thing happens to me, that you may devote vnur life to carrying out xvlth Perry tho iiopes and plans for Pellucidar that are so dear to my heart. Promise me. dear." She hated to promise- to desert me, nor xvould sbe; only shaking her bead and making no mox-o to descend. The tribesmen xvere Hearing us. Juag xxas shouting up to no from tielnxv It xvas evident that be realized from my actions that I xvas at tempting to persuado Dlan to descend, nnd that grave dnnger threatened us from nbove. "Dive!" he cried. "Dive!" I looked at Dlan and then doxvn at the abyss beloxv us. The cove appeared no larger than a saucer Hoxv Jung ever had hit It I could not guess. "Dive !" cried Juag. "It Is the onljxvay there is no time to climb doxvn." CHAPTER XI Etcupe DIAN glanced downward and shuddered. Her tribe xvere hill people they were not accustomed to swimming other than In quiet rlx-ers and placid lakelets. It xvas not the steep that appalled her. It was the ocean vast, mysterious, terrible. To dive Into it from tnis great neignt was beyond her. I couldn't xxonder, cither. To baxo nttempted It myself seemed two pre posterous ex en for thought. Only one con federation could have prompted me to leap bead foremost from that giddy height sui cide; or at least so I thought at the moment. "Qu'ck !" I urged Dlan. "You cannot dive; but I can hold them until you reach safety." , "And you?" she asked once more. "Can you dive' xvhen they como too closo? Other xvlso you could not escape them If you xx-alted here until I reached the bottom." I saxv that she xvould not leave me un less she thought that I could mako that frightful dive as xve had seen Juag make It. I glanced once downward ; thon xvlth a mental e-hrug I assured her that I xvould dive tho moment that she reached the boat. Satisfied, sho begun the descent carefully, yet swiftly. I xvatched her for a moment, my heart in my mouth lest some slight misstep or the slipping of ft fingerhold should pitch her to a frightful death upon the rocks below. Then I turned toward tn advancing Hoo .-"MoDSler.." Perry dubbed them-ven xx here Hooja held sway, Indiana; It Is so mnrked noxv upon our maps. They xvere coming on at a great rate. I raised my rovolxer, took deliberate aim at the foremost xvarrlor, nnd pulled the trigger. With the bark of the gun the felloxv lunged forxvard Ills head doubled beneath him He rolled ox-er nnd oxer txvo or three times beforo he ratnc to a rtop, to He xery quietly in tho thick grass among tho brilliant xvlld flowers. Thoso behind him halted One of them hurled a Jax-clln toxx-ard me, but It fell short they xxere Just beyond Jnxolin range. There xx-cre two armed xxith boxvs and ar rows; theso 1 kept my eyes on. All of them nppeared awestruck and frightened by the sound and effect of the firearm They kept looking from the corpxo to me and Jabber ing among themselxes, I took adx-antage of the lull In hostilities to throxv a quick glance oxer the edge to xvard Dlan She xvns haltwny doxvn tho cliff and progressing rapidly. Then I turned back toward the enemy. Ono of the bowmen xvas fitting an arrow to his boxx 1 raised my hand "Stop!" I cried "Whoexer shoots nt me or adxances toward me 1 shall kill as I killed him '" I pointed at the dead man The felloxv lowered his boxx-. Again thero xxas ani mated discussion I could see that those xvho xvere not armed xvlth boxxs xxere urging something upon the txvo xxho xveru At last the majority appeared to prexall, for simultaneously the txvo aroi.ors raised their weapons. At the same Instant I fired at one of them, dropping him in his tracks. The other, boxx ex-er, launched his missile, but the leport of my gun had glx-en him such a start that the arroxv llexx- xvlld above my head. A second after and he, too, xvas spraxvlcd upon the sward xvlth a round hole betxxeen his eyes. It had been a rather good shot I glanced oxer the edge again. Dlan xvas almost at the bottom. I could see Juag standing just beneath her xvlth his hands upstretched to assist hot A sullen loar from the xvarrlors recalled my attention toward them. They stood shaking their lists nt mo ann jelling Insults. From the direction of the village I taxv a single xxarrlor coming to join them. He xvas a huge felloxv, and when lio strode nmong them 1 could tell by his hearing and their deference toxvard him that he xx-as a chieftain. He listened to all they bad to ell of the happenings of the last fexv min utes; thin xvlth a command and a roar he staited for me xvlth the xvhole pack at his heels All they had needed had arrlxed namely, a braxn leader I had two unflred cartridges In tho cham bers of my gun. 1 let the big xxarrlor haxe one of them, thinking that his death xx-ould stop them all. But I guess they xvere woiked up to such a frenzy nf lage by this time that nothing xvould have stopped them. At any rate, they only yelled the louder as be fell and Increased their speed toxx-ard me. I dropped another xvlth my remaining cartridge Then they xvero upon me or almost. I thought of my piomlse to Dlan the axvful abyss was behind me a big devil xvlth a huge bludgeon In front of me. I grasped my six-shooter by the barrel and hurled It squarely In his face with all my strength Then, without xx-altlng to learn tho effect of my throw, I wheeled, ran the fexv steps to the edge and leaped ns far out over that frightful chasm as I could. I knoxv some thing of diving, and all that I knoxv I put Into that dix-e, which I xx-as positive would be my last. Ft a couple of hundred feet I fell In a hsiizontal position. The momentum I gained xvas terrific. I could feel tho air almost as a solid body, so swiftly I hurtled through It Then my position gradually changed to the 'xertlcal, and xvlth hands outstretched I slipped through tho air, cleaving it like a flying arroxv. Just before I struck the xx-a-ter a perfect shoxver of Javelins fell nil about. My enemies had rushed to the brink and hurled their weapons after me. By a miracle I xvas untouched.
