HJPI Readiixgf fsrWyfteiv and all iKe farcaj\| |p|U THE HONEYMOON HOUSE By Hazel Dale Janet had been keeping house a week now. and everything was run ning smoothly. Wonder of wonders, ■she had actually been able to match ibe wonderful chintz that had been used to upholster her chaise longue. for fifty-five cents a yard, and now all the windows were hung with the ma- i terial, and Janet had done wonders j with tho old horse-hair davenport, j which now bloomed resplendent un- , der a ruffled cover of the same stuff, j Each morning she got breakfast in the tiny kitchenette and carried ; it into the studio, where they ate un- j der the big skylight, the sunshine j streaming down all over them and ; lighting Janet's hair to flaming red. It was the time of the day she loved most, for, as she told Jarvis, neither of them knew what the day would bring forth. "It might be just crammed full of | surprises," she would say, with shin ing eyes. The wonderful secret that she had confided to Jarvis had not material ized, simply because Janet wanted to : be really settled before she went out | to try her wings. For that was what; the secret was all about. Janet having , had one story accepted, wanted to do i more; she wanted a real job: some thing that would help to bring in money. Jarvis was working on a black and white picture, and Janet, having put her house in came over and '• dropped a kiss on her husband's thick i brown hair. Then before he could seize her she escaped, and in a few! minutes was walking rapidly through ; the busy streets. Hack in the studio, Jarvis worked ' rapidly on his picture, a tender little j smile on his lips and wondered what j Janet was up to now. Save for the rhythmic tick of the clock the room | was very quiet, and soon Jarvis for- 1 got everything but his work. When he looked up again it was nearlv 1 o'clock and Janet had been gone two! hours. Janet Has News. "I wonder where that child could have gone?" he said to himself, get- ! ting up to stretch, and then there I was the click of Janet's kev in the lock and the next minute she was in the room and was dancing around with both his hands clasped tight in i hers. 'l've had the most wonderful morn ing," she enthused, "and. my dear, there isn't a thing in the house to eat, so let's go out." Jarvis was as eager to hear the news as Janet was to tell it, and he I seized his hat and started for the door i with Janet hanging on his arm. "I might as well tell you first as J Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton | SPANISH MACKEREL A LA BILTMORK The following recipe for Spanish mackerel is fn the March Woman's Home Companion: Spanish Mackerel—l stalk celery, 2 slices onion, 4 slices carrot, bit of bay leaf, canned tomato, 1 teaspoon vine gar, >4 cup boiling water, 3 table spoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 1-3 cups fish stock, lemon .juice, 1 egg yolk, pepper, salt, 3 tablespoons cream.

"I've got a job." This announcement fell liko a bomb shell from the girl's laughing mouth. She had known that she would make an impression, and she had, for Jarvis was staring at her as if he couldn't believe his ears. "I went down to 'The Courier' this morning," Janet went on. "Of course 1 didn't let you know that I was go ing. because I didn't know whether I'd have a failure or a success, but I went. 1 walked into the place and asked to see Mr. Reese, and before I knew it there I was walking right in to that office. It isn't half as hard to get there as one would suppose, Jar vis, it's the getting out that is dread ful," said Janet ruefully. "That is 1 can imagine how 1 might have felt, only I don't feel that way at all. That sounds dreadfully mixed, doesn't it, boy, but I'll explain. I'm just so ex cited, that's all." "I feel as if I had married an elf or a fairy," said Jarvis. "I'm sure I'm not married to an ordinary girl, am I?" Janet laughed joyously. "Wait till you hear. Mr. Reese just looked up at me coldly, and asked me what I wanted, and I had to think pretty quickly. I can tell you. So I said: " 'I want a job.' "And then he looked me up and down, and said in that same cold way: ""Doing what?" "I was beginning to think that I had jumped to conclusions then, but I answered just as calmly as I could: The Salary Question. "Anything." "Then he looked at me again very closely, and said, "So you think you can write." "And I said quickly. 'I know I can.' T was going to tell him about that story, but I didn't, and then he Jumped up suddenly and I thought he was going to have me put out and I did feel so foolish, but, instead, he handed me a slip of paper with some scribbled words on it, and he called a boy. and said: " 'Take this young lady to Mr. Deering.' "And then I was ought of the office without saying a word, and I was meeting Mr. Deering, who was very nice to me. And they've asked me to try a little series for children, Jarvis. and I know I can do it." "And I suppose your salary is too much to confess to an humble artist," laughed Jarvis. "O. Jarvis, I never thought about a salary, do you know I didn't even mention it. But then I haven't made good, you know." (To Be Continued.) ALL the tunic effects arc fashionable and since the little girl's diesses always follow the trend of their elders, the tunic frock is a new and a smart one. You can make this one all of one material with the tunic trimmed as it is here or you can combine materials. Taffeta for the tunic, for ex ample, would be pretty over Georgette crepe, or a "pretty point esprit or a pretty child like "net would be charming over a taffeta frock. In the illustration, fine cotton voile is used throughout with a pretty banding making the finish. In the back view is a suggestion for a still simpler dress with bands of material taking the place of the lace. For the 12 year size will be needed, yards of material 36 or 44 inches wide for the dress, 2>4 yards 36, 2 yards 44, for the tunic with 6 yards of banding.

Among the officers of the Xavarian 1 thought I could already note a division into factions ere we had reached He lium. There were those who gathered about Carthoris aud myself whenever the opportunity presented, while about an equal number held aloof from us. They offered us only the most courte ous treatment, but were evidently bound by their superstitious belief in the doctrine of Dor and Iss and Korus. I could not blame them, for I knew how strong a hold a creed, however ri diculous it may be, may gain upon an otherwise Intelligent people. By returning from Dor we had com mitted a sacrilege; by recounting our adventures there and stating the facts as they existed we had outraged tho religion of their fathers. We were blasphemers, lying heretics. Even those who still clung to us from personal love and loyalty, I think did so In the face of the fact that at heart they questioned our veracity it Is very hard to accept a new religion for an old, no matter how alluring the promises of the new may be. But to reject the old as a tissue of falsehoods without being offered anything in its stead Is indeed a most difficult thing to ask of any people. ICantos Kan would not talk of our experiences among the therns. "It is enough." he said, "that 1 jeopardize my life here and hereafter by countenancing you at all. Do not ask me to add still further to my sins by listening to what I have always been taught was the rankest heresy." I knew that sooner or later the time must come when our friends and ene mies would be forced to declare them selves openly. When we reached Helium there must be an accounting, and If Tardos Mors had not returned I feared that the enmity of Zat Arras might weigh heavily against us, for he represented the government of Helinm. To take sides against him were equivalent to treason. The majority of the troops would doubtless follow the lead of their officers, and I knew that many of the highest and most powerful men of both land and air forces would cleave to John Carter In the face of god, man or devil. On the other hand, the majority of the populace unquestionably would de mand that we pay the penalty of our sacrilege. The outlook seemed dark from whatever angle I viewed it, but my mind was so torn with anguish at the thought of Dejah Thoris that I realize now that I gave the terrible question of Helium's plight but scant attention at that time. There was always before me, day and night, a horrible nightmare of the frightful scenes through which I knew my princess might even then be pass ing—the horrid plant men, the fero cious white apes. At times I would cover my face with my hands In a vain effort to shut the fearful thing from my mind. It was in the forenoon that we ar rived at the mile high scarlet tower which marks greater Helium from her twin city. As we descended In great circles toward the navy docks a mighty multitude could be seen surg ing In the streets beneath. Helium had been notified by radio-aerogram of our approach. From the deck of the Xavarlan we three—Carthoris, Tars Tarkas and I— were transferred to a lesser filer to be transported to quarters within the temple of Reward. It Is here that Martian Justice Is meted to benefactor and malefactor. Here the hero is decorated. Here the felon Is condemned. We were taken Into the temple from the landing stage upon the roof, so that we did not pass nmong the people at all, as Is custon:- iry. Always before I had seen prisoners of note or returned wanderers of emi nence paraded from the gate of Jed daks to the temple of Reward up the broad Avenue of Ancestors through dense crowds of jeering or cheering citizens. I knew that Zat Arras dared not trust the people near to us, for he feared that their love for Carthoris and myself might break Into a demon stration which would wipe out their superstitious horror of tlie crime we were to be charged with. What his plans were I could only guess, but that they were sinister was evidenced by the fact that only his most trusted servitors accompnAed us upon the flier to the temple of Reward. We were lodged in a room >'.L'on the aouth side of the temple, the Avenue of Ancestors, down which we could see the full length to tfce gate of Jeddaks, Ave miles away. The peo-, pie had gathered In the temple plaza and in the streets for a distance of a full mile and were standing as close packed as It was possible for them to Bet. HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH They were very quiet nnd orderly; there were neither scoffs nor plaudits, and when they saw us at the window above them there were many who bur led their faces in their arms nnd wept. I.ate In the afternoon a messenger arrived from Zat Arras to inform us that we would be tried by an impar tial body of nobles in the great hall of the temple at the first zode on the fol lowing flay, or about S:4O a. m., earth time. CHAPTER XI. Tho Death Sentence. 1.1 FEW moments before the ap- I A appointed time on the follow -ling morning a strong guard of Zat Arras' officers appeared at our quarters to conduct us to the great hall of the tempie. In twos we entered the chamber and marched down the broad aisle of hope, as it is called, to the platform in the center of the hall. Before and behind us marched armed guards, while three solid ranks of Zodangan soldiery lined either side of the aisle from the en trance to the rostrum. As we reached tha raised lnclosure 1 saw our judges. As Is the custom upon Barsoom, there were thirty-one, sup posedly selected by lot from men of the noble class, for nobles were on trial. But to my amazement I saw no single friendly face among them. Practically all were Zodangans, and it was I to whom Zodanga owed her defeat at the hands o" the green hordes and her subsequent vassalage to Helium. There could be little justice here for John Carter or his son or for the great Thark who had commanded the savage tribesmen who overran Zodanga's broad avenues, looting, burning and murder ing. About tis the vast circular coliseum was packed to its fullest capacity. All classes were represented—all ages and both sexes. As we entered the hall the hum of subdued conversation ceased until as we halted upon the platform or throne of righteousness the silence of death enveloped the spectators. The Judges were seated in a great circle about the periphery of the circu lar platform. We were assigned seats with our backs toward a small platform in the exact center of the larger one. This placed us facing the judges and the audience. Upon the smaller plat form each would take his place while his case was being heard. Zat Arras himself sat In the golden ?bair of the presiding magistrate. As we were seated and our guards retir ed to the foot of the stairway leading to the platform he arose and called my name. "John Carter," he cried, "take your place upon the pedestal of truth to be judged impartially according to your acts and here to know the reward you have earned thereby." Then, turning to and fro toward the audience, he narrated the acts upon the value of which my reward was to be determied. "Know you, O Judges and people of Ilelium." he said, "that John Car ter. one tljne Prince of Helium, has returned, by his own statement, from the valley Dor and even from the tem ple of Issus itself. "That, in the presence of many men of Helium, he has blasphemed against the sacred Iss, and against the valley Dor, and the lost sea of Ivorus, and the holy therns themselves, and even against Issus, goddess of death and life eternal. "And know you further by witness of thine own eyes that see him here now upon the pedestal of truth that be has Indeed returned from these sacred precincts in the face of our ancient customs and in violation of the sanctity of our ancient religion. "He who be once dead may not live igaln. He who attempts it must be made dead forever. Judges, your duty lies plain before you—there can be no testimony In contravention of truth. What reward shall be meted to John Carter In accordance with the acts he has committed?" "Death!" shouted one of the judges. And then a man sprang to his feet in the audience and, raising his band on high, cried, "Justice, justice, justice!" It was Kantos Ivnn, and as all eyes turned toward him he leaped past the Zodangnn soldiery and sprang upon the platform. "What manner of justice Is this?" he cried to Zat Arras. "The defendant has not been heard, nor has be had an opportunity to call others In his be half. In the name of the people of Helium, I demand fair and luipaitlal treatment for the Prince of Helium." A great cry rose from the audience then, "Justice, justice. Justice!" And Zat Arras dared not deny them, "Speak, then," he snarled, turning to me. "But blaspheme not against the' things that are sacred upon Rarsoom." (To Be Continued) Worthwhile Things For Women When you have scraps of veal.

We hugged each other, we pounded each other's backs, we emulated McNally's wild Irish whoops, finally we joined hands and danced around and around the re ; mains of the fire, kicking up our heels I absurdly. Bagsby, a leathery grin on ! his face, stood off one side. He still held his long barreled rifle, which he presented at who ever neared him. "I tell you, look out!" he kept say ing over and over. "I'm shootin' luna tics today, and apparently there's plen ty game to choose from." Although we did not immediately run Into the-expected thousands, nor did the promise of that first glorious day of discovery quite fulfill Itself, nev ertheless our new diggings turned out to be very rich. We fell into routine, and the days and weeks slipped by. Bagsby and one companion went oiit every day to hunt or to fish. We took turns at a vacation In camp. Every night we "blejr" our day's collection of sand, weighed the gold and packed it away. Our accumulations were get ting to be very valuable. For a month we lived this Idyllic life quite unmolested and had gradually come to feel that we were so far out of the world that nothing would ever I disturb us. The days seemed all alike, clear, sparkling, cloudless. It was my first experience with the California climate, and these things were a per petual wonder to my New England mind. ! Then one day when I was camp keeper at the upper end of our long meadow a number of men emerged from the willows and hesitated uncer tainly. They were too far way to be pliriuly distinguishable, but I believed In taking no chances, so I fired my re volver to attract the attention of my companions. They looked up from their labor, saw the men and prompt ly came into camp. The group still hesitated at the edge of the thicket. Then one of them "Isn't it great7'* he said. "Right off the reel! First pop!" waved something white. We waved in return, whereupon they advanced slowly in our direction. As they neared we saw them to be Indians. Their leader held before him a stick to which had been tied a num ber of white feathers. As they ap proached us they began to leap and dance to the accompaniment of a weird rising and falling chant. They certalu ly did not look very formidable with their heterogeneous mixture of cloth ing, their round, black, stupid faces and their straight liair. Most of them were armed simply with bows and ar rows, but three carried specimens of the long Spanish musket. The Indians said they wanted to trade. We replied that we saw nothing they might trade with us. in return they produced some roots and several small bags of piue'nuts. We then explained that we were re duced in ammunition and had ilctle food. Don Caspar here Interpolated hasti ly, saying that in his judgment it would lie absolutely necessary that we ninde sime sort of a present to avoid the appvarance of intending au affront. Buck Barry and Jones seemed instant ly to accept this necessity. "Give them two or three of the sad dle blankets," suggested Barry after a moment's thought. "Wfe will have sev eral light bosses going out, and if we have to pad the saddles we can git along with skins or something." We gave our visitors the blankets therefore. They seemed well pleased, arose and shortly made a primitive sert of a camp a short distance out side our stockade. We did no more washing that day. About 5 o'clock our hunters came in with the best meat of a blacktall deer. Bagsby listened at tentively to our account of the Inter view. Then he took n liiiul quarter of the newly killed buck and departed for the Indians' camp, where for an hour. "I don't think they are out for mean ness," he announced when he return ed. "They tell me this fere Is on a sort of short cut from some of tho Truckeo lakes down to their villages. But we got to keep a sharp eye on our horses, and we got to stand guard to night" Very early In the morning, when we were just up, several of the elders came over to tell us that some of the young men would stay to work for .us. If we so desired. We replied that we had no goods with which to pay for work. Shortly after the whole tribe vanished down river. A week passed, and wo had almost forgotten our chance visitors. One day the two Spaniards, Buck Barry aud I were at the cradle. Bagsby, Yank and McXally were the hunters for the day. Johnny and Missouri Jones kept camp. We had had a most successful morn ing and were just stacking our tools preparatory to returning to camp for dinner. Buck Barry was standing near some small sage bushes at the upper end of the diggings. He was just In the act of lighting a freshly filled pipe when he stopped as though petrified, the burning match suspended above the bowl of his pipe. Then he turned quickly toward the sago brush, and as he did so a bow twanged, and an ar row sang past his head, so close as ac tually to draw blood from the lobe of his ear. With a roar of anger Buck Barry raised his pickax and charged into the bus Wo saw a figure rise from the ground, dash away, stumble flat. Before the man could get up again Buck Barry was upon him, aud the pickax descended. At the same instant we heard a series of whoops and two shots In rapid succession from the direction of camp. Buck Barry, came bounding out of the sage brush \ und seized his rifle from under the bush where we had kept them. "Come on!" he panted. "Let's get out of this!" We ran as hard as we could for a hundred yards, or until we had reach ed the flat of the river bottom. Then we paused, uncertain as to just what next to do. "Walt a taiuute," said I. "I'll just take a look," and hurried up n little spur kuoll to the right. From that ele vation I instantly caught sight of a crowd of Indians corning up the valley at'full speed. Most of them were on horseback, but a number loped along on foot, keeping up with the animals One look was enough. I raced dowD to my companions again, and we hastl ly took refuge In the only cover neai enough to conceal us—a little clump o! willows in a small damp watercourse There we croitrhe 1. rifles ready.
