TO MY suiprlne, Ja felt much as 1 did. He
said ho had nlvvays hated tho war with
other Mezops when litem wero M iniiiiv
mien laces to f'glit ngalndt. I suggested
hat wo hall the chief and request u parley;
but when .la did so tho old fool thought
tint we vveie afraid, and with loud cries
of exultation urged his warriors upon us.
So we opened up on them, but nt my stig
gestlon centered our tiro upon tho chiefs
canoe The result was that In about thirty
seconds there was nothing left of that war
dugout but n handful of splinters, while
Its crew those who were not killed were
struggling In the water, battling with the
myrl id terrlblo creatures that had risen to
devour them
We saved some of them, but the majority
died Just as had Ilonjn nnd tho crow of his
canoe that time otii second sliot cipsbed
them
Agiln we ( ill.Ml to the lemalnlng war

chiefs son vva thpre and ho would not,
now that he hid seen his fiither killed lie
was nil for levenge So un had to open
up on the biave fellows with nil our guns,
hut It didn't last long at that, for there

l.uanlens thin their chief or his son had
possessed Presently an old warrior who
coiiim iniled one of the dugouts mirrendeiod
After tint thej came in nno by one until
nil had laid tholr weapons upon our decks
Then we cilled together upon the flagship
all nut captains to give the affair greater
wel,ht and dlgnltv nnd all the principal
men of Luan.V We lndi outpiered them
and they eipccted either death or slnverj ;
but thpv dpservpd neither nnd I told them

we had passed fat north of Amoz Into a

brutes, nnd when thev found that we could
(111 their stomachs and give them plentv of
lighting, they were nothing lonth to march
with us against the next Mali ir city and
battle with men of theli own lace
Thus we proceeded, swinging in a great
hilf-clrcle noith nnd wet and south tig tin

Tho task of ridding Pellucidar of theso
hideous creatures Is one which in all prob

their great cities must nbound by the hun

that no subject of tho empire has ever laid

lint within tho present boundaries of my
domain there nre now none left that I know
of, for I am sure wo should hnvo heard
.Indli eclly ot any great Mahar city that had

Ing and looking nt Billy.
"Thank ou." nnswered Billy, who was
learning to keep still when there were signs
of trouble brewing.
"I guess vou h id better run over nnd tako
a look at the Krogs," suggested his giod
wife
Wily turned nnd looked at hli wife nnd
then Hotted off In the direction of the pond.
Tar In the dlfctnnce he could hear the Froga

Billy to himself. "When all Is well you hea

they slut up I think I could learn a fot ,$3
from them " fr-
When Billy reached the hore of the, ?
pond there was not n leaf stirring. Not a
l'rog was to bd seen, so he sat down to
rest Bv nnd by he looked down In in
water, und there right In front of him hn
saw'two boady ces staring right at him. vi

L The two beadv ecs moved nenrer to him.

When sho had ell beel up on the bank
Minnie Krog said to Billy:

"I huo conip to ask If jou have seen
that terrible thing which Jias been sailing
over the hky and tcnlfylng nil tho good
people of the Woodland We aro likely to
go to war, nnd I want to see what jou Frogs
are going to do to help us "
"Vou aro wise In coming to us, for wo
are the wisest of all water beings and land
bulngj, too," replied Minnie.
"It's great to have such a good oDlnton of
oneself" answered Blllj-.
"What others think of jou Is but .1 re
flection of what you think of jourself," said
Minnie 1'ing without turning around.
"Why don't ou tufn and look at me when
jou speak?" asked Billy.
