TT SEEMS Incredible that Thursday - afternoon's recital by David Blspham at WItherspoon Hall, uuder the auspices of tho managing committee of the "Illus trated Musical Talks," will bo tho last of, tho long sctlcs of entertainments, mu sical and otherwise, given this winter for the benefit of tho endowment fund of the Philadelphia Orchestra, but so It Is. This series runs later than any of the others given for this object, and tho com mittee, having so great an artist, with so popular a topic Mr. BIspham's sub ject is to be "The English Language in Speecli and Song" wisely decided to put its best attraction forward in a holiday week. Tills committee, which consists of some very well known and active so ciety women who are Intelligent and In formed lovers of music, gives these very charming and Interesting afternoons solely for the advancement of musical culture In Philadelphia, and with no de sire for financial proilt. Last year the committee turned over $800 to thq pension fund of the orchestra. This year the profits are to go to tho or chestra's endowment fund, which I hear Is now close to three-quarters of a million. You will, of course, remember that not only Is Mr. Blspham of tho well-kn6wn Philadelphia family, but that he was tho first native o this city to bo a member of tho Covent Garden and Metropolitan Opera Companies. I hear he Is to sing several songs as well as lecture. Maybe he will do "Danny Dcever" for us! Who knows? , M ATRIMON'Y has certainly struck the Downs' family for fair this week. Of course, the war Is the reason why, for both 'Downs men aro members of the First Troop ot Philadelphia City Cav airy, which is expecting orders at any moment. Both Alice Thompson and Anne Merrick had tho questionable Joy of an nouncing their engagements Just before tho troop departed for tho Mexican or der, and I guess they decided to listen to tho would-be Benedicks pleas before they left again, and this time 'on real war and with a fierce and by no means yet finished enemy, and so yesterday Alice and Norton Downs, Jr.. were married quietly out In St. Taul's Church, in Over brook, and on Thursday Anne and Mc Kean Downs aro to plight their troth, while today Besslo Downs, is to be married to Rowland Evans, though today's wed ding Is not tho outcome of imminent war. It has been planned for some time for today. But, really, it is a bit hard on Mrs. Downs, isn't it? Three children married In four days. However, sho gains three by it, so all la well, and let us hope all will remain well with these and all the others who must fight sooner or later against militarism. NANCY WYNNE.

By EDGAR RICE 'BURROUGHS Author of tho "Tarzan" Stories CHAl'TKH XI Continued Tomorrow I N THE final instant I saw that I had cleared tho rocks and was going to strike tho water fairly. Then I was In and plumbing tho depths. I suppose I didn't really go very far down, but It seemed to me that I should never stop. When at last I dared curve my hands upward and divert my progress toward tho surface I thought that I should explodo for air bcfoio I ever saw the sun ngaln except through a swirl of water. Hut nt last my head popped nbove tho waves and I filled my lungs with nlr- ' . , . Before mo was tho boat, from which Juag and Dlan were clambering. 1 couldn't understand why they wero deserting It now, when wo weio about to set out for tho mainland In It; but when I reached its sldo I understood. Two heavy Javelins, missing Dlan nnd Juag by but a hair's breadth, had sunk deep into tho bottom of tho dugout In a Mtalght lino with the grain of the wood, and split her almost In two frniYi stem In stern. Sho was useless. .Tune was leaning over a nearby rock, his hand outstretched to aid me In clamber ing to his sldo: nor did I lose any time in availing myself of his proffered assistance. An occasional Javelin was still dropping perilously close to us, so wc hastened to draw as closo as possible to the cliffslde, where we were comparatively safe from the missiles. Hero we held a brief conference, in which it was decided that our only hopo now lay In making for the opposite end of the Island as qukkly as wc could nnd utilizing tho boat that I had hidden there to con tinue our Journey to tho mainland. Gathering up thieo of tho least damaged Javelins that had fallen about us, we set out upon our journey, keeping well toward tho south side of tho Island, which Juag said was less frequented by tho Hoojans than tho central portion wliero tho river ran. I think that this ruse must have thrown our pursuers off our track, since wo saw nothing of them nor heard any sound of pursuit during the greater portion of our march the length of the Island. But the way Juag had chosen was rough and roundabout, so that wo consumed one or two moro marches In covering the dls- tnnco than It wo had followed the river. This It was which proved our undoing. Those who sought us must havo sent a party up the river immediately after wo escaped: for when wo came at last on to the river trail not far from our destination, there can be no doubt that wo were seen by Hoojans who wero Just ahead of us up the stream. Tho result was that as we wero passing through a clump of bush a score of warriors leaped out upon us, and beforo we could scarce strlko a blow in defense had disarmed and bound us. For a tlmo thereafter I seemed to be en tirely bereft of hope. I could see no ray of promise In tho future only Immediate death for Juag nnd me, 'which didn't con cern me much In tho faco of what lay In store for Dlan. Toor child ! What an awful life sho had had I From the moment that I had first seen her chained in the slave cara van of the Mahars until now, a prisoner of a no less cruel creature, I could recall but a few brief Intervals of peace and quiet In her tempestuous existence. Before I had known her, Jubal the Ugly Ono had pur sued her across a savage world to make. her his mate. She had eluded him, and finally I had slain him; but terror and pri vations and exposure to fierce beasts had haunted her footsteps during all tho lonely flight from him. And when I had returned to tho outer world tho old trials had re commenced with Hooja In Jubal's role. I would almost have wished for her death to vouchsafe her that peace which fate seemed to deny her In this life. I spoko to her on the subject, suggesting that we expire together. "Do not fear, David," she replied, "I shall end my life beforo over Hooja can harm mc; but first I shall see that Hooja dies nn nri rrnm nor nrpnsi a iirric P.ninarn thong, to th Ptifl nf which fatnnrl n tiny pouch. ..w -P. v. ........ ,,,, .-.,..... "What have you there?" I asked. "Do you recall that time you stepped upon the thing you call viper In your world?" sho asked. I nodded. "The accident gave you the'ldpa for tho poisoned nirows with which we fitted the warrlois of tho empire," she continued. "And, too, It gave me an Idea. For a long tlmo I havo carried a viper's fang In my bosom. It has given me strength to endure many dangers, for it has always assured me Immunity from the ultimate Insult. I am not ready to die yet. First let Hooja embrace tho viper's fang." So we did not die together, and I am glad now that we did not. It is always a foolish thing to contemplate suicide: for no mattor how dark tho futuro may appear today, to morrow may hold for us that which will alter our whole life In an Instant, reveal ing to us nothing but sunshine and happi ness. So, for my part, I shall always wait for tomorrow. In Pellucldar, where It Is always today, tho wait may not be so long, and so it proved for us. As we were passing a lofty, flat-topped hill through a park-llke wood a perfect network of fiber ropes fell suddenly about our guard, enmeshing them. A moment later a horde of our friends, the hairy gorilla mtn, with the mild eyes and long faces of sheep, leaped among them. It was a very interesting flflu. I was sorry that my bonds prevented me from taking part In It, but I urged on the brute men with my voice, and cheered old Ur-gr-gr, their chief, each time that his mighty jaws crunched out tho life of a Hoojan. When the battle was over we found that a few of our captors had es caped, but tho majority of them lay dead about us. The gorilla men paid no further attention to them. Gr-gr-gr turned to me. "Gr-gr-gr and all hln people are your friends," hi said. "One saw tho warrlorB of tho Sly Oni- and followed them. He saw them capture you, and then he ilew to the village as fast as ho could go and told me all that he had seen. The rest you know. You did much for Qr-gr-gr and Gr-gr-gr's people. We shall always do much for you." I thanked him ; and when I had told him of our escape and our destination, he In sisted on accompanying us to the sea with a great number of his fierce males. Nor were we at all loath to accept his escort. We found the canoe wherd I had hidden It, and. bidding Gr-gr-gr and his warriors fare well, tho three of us embarked for the mainland. I questioned Juag upon the feasibility of attempting to cross to the mouth of the great river of which he had told me, and up wMch he said we might paddle almost to Sari ; but he urged me not to attempt It. since we had but a single paddle and no water or food. I had to admit tho wisdom of his advice, but the desire to explore this great waterway was strong upon me, arous ing In me at last a, determination to ma.e the attempt after first gaining the main land and rectifying our deficiencies. We landed several miles north of Thurla In a little cove that seemed to offer pro tection from the heavier seaa which some times run even upon these usually pacific oceana of Pellucldar. Here I outlined to Dlan and Juag the plana I had In mind. They were to fit the canoe with a. small sail, the purposes of which I hid to explain to tham both since neither had ever teen pr heard ot such a contrivance before. Than, they were to hunt t r foo:walk the Mll.vnd th wind fora'ton tlm,1 X could see that he wu not vn half con vinced that any such ridiculous contraption could make a canoe move through the water. Wo hunted neat the coast for a while, but were not rewarded with any particular luck. Finally wo decided to hide the canoe and strike inland In search of game. At Juag's suggestion we dug a hole In the sand at the upper edge of the beach and burled the craft, smoothing the aurfaco over nicely and throwing aside tho excess mate rial wo had excavated. Then we set out away from tho sea. Traveling In Thurla Is less arduous than under tho midday Bun which perpetually glares down on tho rest of Pcllucldar's surface; but It has Its draw, backs, ono of which Is the depressing In fluence exerted by tho everlasting shade of tho Land of Awful Shadow, Tho farther Inland we went the darker It became, until we were moving at last through an endless twilight. The vegeta. tlon hero was sparse and of a weird, color less nature, though what did grow was wondrous In shape and form. Often we saw hugo llril, or beasts of burden, striding across tho dim landscape, browsing upon the grotesque vegetation or drinking from the slow and sullen rivers that run down from the Lldl Plains to empty into the sea In Thurla. , What w Knueht was either thag a sort of gigantic elk or ono of the larger species of antelope, tho flesh of either of which dries nicely In the sun. Tho bladder of the thng would make a flno water bottle, and Its skin, I figured, would be n good sail. Wo traveled a considerable distance Inland, entirely crossing the Land of Awful Shadow nnd emerging at last upon that portion of tho Lldl Plnlns which lies In the pleasant sunlight. Abovo us tho pendent world re volved upon Its nxls, filling mo especially and Dlan to an nlmost equal state with wonder nnd Insatiable curiosity as to what strange forms of life existed among the hills and valleys and along the seas and rivers, which we could plainly see. Beforo us stretched tho horlzonlcss ex panses of vnst Pellucldar, tho Lldl Plnlns rolling up about us, while hanging high In tho heavens to tho northwest of us I thought I discerned the many towers which marked the entrances to tho distant Mahar city, whoso Inhabitants preyed upon tho Thur lans. Juag suggested that wc travel to the northeast, where, he said, upon the lerge of tho plain we should find a wooded coun try in which game should be plentiful. Acting upon his advice, wo came at last to a forest Jungle, tnrougn wmen wouna. Innumerable game paths. In the depths of this forbidding wood we camo upon the fresh spoor of thag. Shortly after, by careful stalking, we camo within Javelin range of a small herd. Selecting a great bull, Juag and I hurled our weapons simultaneously, Dlan reserv ing hers for an emergency. The beast stag gered to his feet, bellowing. Tho rest of the herd was up and away In an instant, only tho wounded bull remaining, with lowered head and roving eyes searching for tho foe. Then Juag exposed himself to the view of the bull It is n part of the tactics of the hunt while I Bteppcd to ono side be hind a bush. The moment tho savage beast saw Juag he charged him. Juag ran Btralght away, that the bull might bo lured past my hid ing place. On ho came tons of mighty bestial strength and rage. Dlan had slipped behind me. She. toq, could fight a thag should emergency re quire. Ah. such a girl 1 A rightful empress of a stone age by every standard which two worlds might bring to measure her ! Crashing down toward us camo tho bull thag. bellowing and snorting with tho power of a hundred outer-earthly bulls. When ho was opposite me I sprang for the heavy mane that covered his hugo neck. To tangle my fingers In it was the work of but an instant. Then I was running along at the beast's shoulder. Now, the theory upon which this hunt ing custom la based Is one long ago dis covered by experience, and that Is that a thag cannot be turned from his charge once he has started toward tho object of his wrath, so 'long as he can still soe the thing ho charges. Ho evidently believes that tho man clinging to his mane Is at tempting to restrain him from overtaking his prey, and so ho pays no attention to this enemy, who, of course, docs not retard the mighty charge In the least. Once In the gait of the plunging bull, it was fiut a slight matter to vault to his back, as cavalrymen mount their chargers upon the run. Juag was still running In plain sight ahead of the bull. His speed was but a trifle less than that of the mon ster that pursued him. These Pellucldarlans arc aimcst as neet as aeer; because I am not is ono reason that I am always chosen a - . lu "lu uu"' wu.iv ui wv uw.'iium. j. . .. ,, .. M i. t I . .( could not keep In front of a charging thag long enough to give tho killer time to do hl.i work. I learned that the first and last tlmo I tried It. Onco astride the bull's neck ,1 drew my long stone knife and, setting the point care fully over the brute's spine, drove It home with both hands. At the same Instant I leaped clear of the stumbling animal. Now, no vertebrate can progress far with a knife through his spine, and the thag is no ex ception to the rule. Tho fellow was down Instantly. As he wallowed Juag returned, and the two of us leaped In when an opening afforded the opportunity and snatched our Javelins from hln side. Then we danced about him. more like two savages than anything else, until we got tho opening we were looking for, when, simultaneously, our Javelins pierced his wild heart, stilling It forever. The thag had covered considerable ground from the point at which I had leaped upon him. When, after dispatching him, I looked hack for Dlan, I could see nothing of her. I called aloud, but receiving no reply, set out at a brisk trot to where' I had left her. I had no difficulty in finding the selfsame bush behind which we had hidden, but Dlan was not there. Again and again I called, to be rewarded only by silence. Where could sho be? What could have become of her In tho brief interval since I had seen her standing just behind me? CHAPTER XII Kidnapped I SEARCHED about tho spot carefully. At last I was rewarded by the discovery of her Javelin, a few yards from the bush that had concealed us from the charging thag her Javelin and the Indications of a struggle reveaiea Dy tne trampled Vegeta tion, and the overlapping footprints of a woman and a man. Filled with consterna tion and dismay, I followed these latter to where they suddenly disappeared a nun dred yards from where the struggle had occurred. Thero I saw the huge Imprints of a lldl'a feet. (CONTINUED TOMORROW) Metropolitan Opera House Thuraday.
