Wl and all the family) |Pj THE HONEYMOON HOUSE | By Hazel Dale By Hazel Dale. Jarvis paused a moment as he ; nd the strange girl reached the door way of the apartment. lie hesitated for two reasons. He wanted to ask her if she would come up and meet Janet, and he wanted to ask the girl her name and hardly knew how to go about it. Finally the girl herself solved the problem by looking at him directly and inquiring: "Do you live near here?" "Why, yes; how did you know?" "Why, you stopped," the girl re turned practically, "and looked up." Jarvis grinned boyishly. "Well, I was trying to make up my mind to ask you to come up right this min ute," ho returned quickly. "Will you ?" "I suppose so," the girl responded laconically. She seemed to utterly lack enthusiasm, and if it had not been for the two bursts of enthusiasm when Jarvis had spoken to her and when she smiled she would have given ihe impression of being without ex pression. "That's fine," Jarvis said. "You won't mind walking up to the top, will you?" "I'm used to it," the girl said again. And they began mounting the stairs in silence. "I don't believe I know your name," .lar\is offered when they were nearly at the top. "Karer Mikal," she responded. "I am Russian." Jarvis reached the top first and l'anged the little brass knocker lustily. He was anxious to get into the study and introduce this strange girl to Janet. He was certain of Janet's co operation on his impulsive act. Janet would understand, and the more he saw of this girl, the more he realized that she was just the type he needed for his picture. Liza opened the door. The warm sweet air inside rushed out in a breath to greet the outsiders. There was a smell of fried chicken, blended with the scent of roses, and a hum of voices from the studio. "Is anyone here, Liza?" Jarvis iiuestioned quickly. "Yaas, sir, some friends of Miss Janet's, sir." Liza had quickly taken to speaking! of Janet in this way, and Janet did | not resent the fact, but rather liked ii. Liza left them standing inside the door and rushed back to the kitchen inl for a minute. Jarvis hesitated.

"You're late, dear," she said, hold ing: up her face; for a moment the strange girl stood unnoticed In the Shadows. "Oh," Janet said, softly, "is some one with you? I didn't see." Jarvis laughed. The touch of Janet in his arms had restored his confi dence. "Janet, this is Miss Mikal," he be gan, quickly. "I know that she thinks I am crazy, and you know I am, so you will have that much in common anyway. She's the model I've been looking for; I met her in the street." There was a moment's silence while Janet look steadily from one to the other. The strange dark girl uiet her glance proudly, and Jarvis look ed half quizzical, half worried. He wondered just what Janet's attitude would be. He wondered who the guests were in the studio. Sup pose they were some of Janet's friends, then things would be in a pretty pickle. Janet, herself was reasoning rap idly. She felt a sudden sense of irri tation, a quick return to the old con ventional attitude that had been with her all hrough her girlhood, a stab of resentment, and then her native good sense came to her rescue. "You funny old boy," she said, laughing softly. "I suppose you thought he was trying to kidnap you, Miss Mikal. Do come in and let me give you some tea." The girl had responded with a quick, joyous smile; but she drew back at the sound of voices. "You needn't be afraid to meet any one," Janet reassured her. "It is only Keats and Neva," she said, turning to Jarvis. "That's line," Jarvis returned, and the next minute Janet was drawing the girl into the studio and giving her hot toast and tea. Keats looked at the stranger searchingly. An art ist herself, she knew that Jarvis would have a model worth while. They all tried to make her feel at ease, and she gradually unbent, even to the ex tent of responding to some of the gay sallies with her quaint, half-ac cented words. Janet thought her charming, and really the girl was beautiful. It need ed animation to light up her face, and then she was lovely. Janet had made a devoted slave of the girl be fore she finally left, a friend who would stand her in good need some day when she would need a friend more than anything else.

Ouce that multitude of swords below is drawn against your soldiery no man upon Barsootn—not •ven Tardos Mors hlmtelf—can avert the consequences. What say you? Speak quickly."

"The sentence of the ■ court is passed, but the day of retribution has not been set. "I, Zat Arras, Jed of Zodanga, ap preciating the royal connections of the prisoner and his past services to He lium and Barsoom, grant a respite of one year, or until the return of Mors Kajalc or Tardos Mors to Helium.

Here my old slaves fell upon their knees and kissed my hands as I greet ed them. They cared not where I had been. It wUs enough that I had re turned to them. "Ah, master," cried one, "if our di vine princess were but here this would be a day indeed!" , Tears came to my eyes, so that I was forced to turn away that I might hide my emotions. Carthoris wept openly as the slaves pressed about him with expressions of affection and words of sorrow for our common loss. It was now that Tars Tarkas for the flret time learned that his daughter. Sola, bad accompanied Dejah Thoris upon the last long pilgrimage. I bad not bad the heart to tell him what Kantos Kan had told me.

KARRISBURG TELEGFAPH feast of welcome in the great dining hall of the palace of the Prince of He lium that day. We were over a hun dred strong, not counting the members of my little court, for Dejah Thorls and I had maintained a household con. Bistent with our royal rimk. The board, according to red Martian custom, was triangular, for there were three in our family. Carthoris and I presided in the center of our sides of the table. Midway of the third side De.lah Thoris' high backed carveu chair stood vacant except for her gor geous wedding trappings and Jewels which were draped upon it. Behind stood a slave as in the days when liis mistress had occupied her place at the board ready to do her bid ding. It was the way upon Barsoom, so 1 endured the anguish of it, though it wrung luy heart to see that silent chair where should have been my laughing and vivacious princess keep ing the great ball ringing with her merry gayety. At my right sat Kantos Kan, while to the right of Dejah Thorls' empty place Tars Tarkas sat in a huge chair before a raised section of the board which years ago I bail bad construct ed to meet the requirements of his mighty bulk. The place of honor at a Martian board is always at the hostess' right, and this place was ever reserved by Dejah Thorls for the great Tbark upon the occasions tliat he was in Helium. Hor Vastus sat In the seat of honor upon Carthoris' side of the table. There was little general conversation. It was a quiet and saddened party. The loss of Dejah Thorls was still fresh In the minds of all, and to this was added fear for the safety of Tar dos Mors and Mors Kajak, as well as doubt and uncertainty as to the fate of Helium should It prove true that she were permanently deprived of her great Jeddak. Suddenly our attention "was attract ed by the sound of distant shouting as of many people raising their voices at once, but whether in anger or rejoic ing we could not tell. Nearer and nearer came the tumult. A slave rushed into the dining hall to cry that a great concourse of people was swarming through the palace gates. A second burst upon the heels of the first, alternately laughing and shrieking as a madman. "Dejah Thoris' is found!" he cried. "A messenger from Dejah Thoris I" I waited to hear no more. The great windows of the dining hall over looked the avenue leading to the many gates. They were upon the opposite side of the hall from me, with the table intervening. I did not waste time in circling it, but with a single leap 1 cleared table and diners and sprang upon the balcony beyond. Thirty feet below lay the scarlet sward of the lawn, and beyond were many people crowding about a great thoat which bore a rider headed to ward the palace. I vaulted to the ground below and ran swiftly toward the advancing par tv. As I came near to them I saw that the figure on the thoat was Sola. "Where Is the Princess of Helium?" I cried. The green girl slid from her mighty mount and ran toward me. "Oh, my prince, my prince, she Is gone forever! Even now she may be a captive upon the lesser moon. "The Black Pirates of Barsoom have stolen her." Once within the palace I drew Sola to the dining hall, and when she bad greeted her father after the formal manner of the green men she told the story of the pilgrlmago and capture of Dejah Thorls. "Seven days ago, after her audience with Zat Arras, Dejah Thorls attempt ed to slip from the palace In the dead of night. Though I had not heard the outcome of her Interview with Zat Ar ras, I knew that something had oc curred then to cause her the keenest mental agony, and when I discovered her creeping from the palace I did not need to be told her destination. "Hastily rousing a dozen of her most faithful guards. I explained my fears to them, and as one they enlisted with me to follow our beloved princess in her wanderings, even to the sacred las and the valley Dor. We came upon her but a short distance from the pal ace. With her was faithful Woola, the hound, but none other. "When we overtook her she feigned anger and ordered us back to the pal ace, but for once we disobeyed her, and when she found that we would not let her go upon the last long pil grimage alone she wept and embraced us, and together we went out into the night toward the south. (To Be Continued) Use Telegraph Want Ads Worthwhile Things For Women A DIME'S WORTH OK DATES This delicious dried fruit is very rarely used by the average housewife in her cookery; and notwithstanding that dates are usually less expensive than raisins, housekeepers seem sel dom to appreciate their true value as a substitute for the latter. A box of good dates, if put in a cool, dry place and closely covered, will keep for some time and will greatly assist in varying the list of cakes, pud dings. desserts, etc. Even a half pound of them will give their rich, dis tinctive flavor to several compounds that, were raisins or currants used, would be comparatively commonplace. As helps to the housewife in utiliz ing dates to the best advantage, the following tested and economical rc idpes are suggested: Frugality Pudding Fill a buttered pudding dish about half full of dried bread crumbs. Cover with sweet milk and let stand for half an hour. Then mix in two well beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of vanilla and a small cupful of stoned dates. Set the pudding dish in a larger vessel of hot water and bake in a slow oven about thirty-five ftiinutes. Remove from the fire, cover the top with a meringue made from the sttily whip ped white of one egg beaten with one tablcspoonful of sugar, and return to the oven until delicately browned. Serve cither hot or cold. I .on ion Dute Pie This is a very old-fashioned receipt; but is probably new to the majority of the present generation of house keepers. Beat together one small cup ful of sugar and one egg; then add gradually one cupful of water and one cupful of finely crushed cracker crumbs. Flavor with the grated yel low rind and the strained juice of one lemon, add one cupful of stoned and chopped dates, three tablespoonfuls of cream or very rich milk and pour into a deep pie plate that lias been lined with pastry. Cover with a top crust, make several incisions in the upper crust and after brushing over with beaten egg, bake in a rather quick oven for thirty minutes. Date Meringue This is a very delicate dessert and is extremely useful in the case of un expected company, as it may be easily and quickly made. Use rounds of plain sponge cake. Beat the whites of two eggs as stiffly as possible, fold in two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and one small cupful ot stoned and chopped dates. Heap the meringue in mounds upon the cake and place in a moderate oven until slightly browned. Serve cold. Frozen Date Pudding The use of dates will bo found to give a very unusual and delicious flavor to any frozen dainty. Prepare the custard from a pint ot' rich milk, two well beaten eggs, a pinch of salt, one heaping' teaspoonful of corn starch mixed to a paste with a little cold water and half a cupful of sugar. Cook over hot water, until well thick ened and smooth. Remove from the fire, flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla extract, and when cold fold in a small cupful of sweetened whip ped cream. Turn into a chilled freezer and when the custard begins to con geal stir in a large cupful of stoned and shredded dates. Continue freezing until firm and smooth. Steamed Poor Man's Pudding This will be found as delicious as it is easily made and, although very Inexpensive, is generally pronounced a very rich fruit pudding. Take two cupfuls of graham flour, half a cup ful of white flour, one cupful of molasses, three tablespoonfuls of melted shortening, three tablespoon fuls of brown sugar, one teaspoonful of grated nutmeg, half a teaspoonful of ground cinnamon and one cupful of thick sour milk in which has been dissolved one teaspoonful of baking soda. Beat the batter vigorously, add one cupful of stoned and chopped dates and turn Into a well greased pudding mold. Steam for two hours and a half and then set the steamer in a hot oven for about fifteen minutes. Serve unmolded, accompanied by a stirred, hard sauce.

Over the top of the great ranges a gibbous moon rose slowly. By her dim light I could make out the plunge on either side our ridge and the other dark ridges across the way. Behind us our horses occa sionally stamped a hoof or blew through their noses. I lay flat on my back and idly count ed the stars. Happening to glance sldewise. I caught the flicker of a dis tant light. "Bagsby," 1 whispered, "there's a fire barely more than a half mile away." lie, too, lay down in order to get my angle of view. "It's not MeNally," he pronounced after a moment's careful inspection, "for it's too big a fire, and it's a lot more than half a mile away. That's a good big fire. I think it's Injuns." "Probably the same gang that lifted our bosses I'' cried Buck. "Probably," agreed Bagsby. He sat upright and peered at us through the dim moonlight. "Want to got after them?'' he inquired. "You bet!" said Buck emphatically. "They may have MeNally, and if they haven't they've got our horses." "There's six of us. and we can shore make it interesting for that lot." agreed Yank. "Can we get to where they • re?" "I think so," said Bagsby. We rode for another hour, slanting down the mountain side toward tho flickering fire. Every time a horse roll ed a rock or broko a dried branch it seemed to me that the mountains re verberated from end to end. I don't believe I allowed myself to weigh over six ounces all told. Finally we left the slope for tho bottom of the valley. "I'd rather be below their camp than above It. It's going to be hard to get out this way," complained Bagsby, "but it's the best we can do." He dis mounted us, and we crept forward an other half mile, leading our animals. "This is as close as I dare take the hosses," whispered Bagsby. "Vasquez, you stay here with them," he said in Spanish, "and when I yell twice quick and sharp you answer, so we'll know where to find you. Come on"' We raised our pieces, but before the command to fire was given one of the sleepers threw aside his blanket, stretched himself and arose. It was a ryhlte man! I eoufess that for a moment I turned physically sick. "Hello!" called Bagsby, quite un moved. The while man seized his rifle, and the recumbent forms leaped to life. "Who are you?" he demanded sharp ly. "Speak quick!" "Keep yore ha'r on!" drawled the trapper, advancing into the light. "We're perfectly respectable miners, owt looking for a lost man, and we saw yore fire." The rest of us uttered a yell of Joy and relief. One of the men who had been sleeping' around the fire was Me- Nally himself. We drew together, explaining, con gratulating. The strangers, six in number, turned out to be travelers from the eastern side of the ranges. They listened with interest and attention to our account of the Indian attack. Me- Nally explained that he had been un certain of his route in the dark, so that when lie caught sight of the fire he had made his way to it. We were still engaged In this mutual explanation when we were struck dumb by a long drawn out yell from the direction of our own horses. "It is Vasquez," explained Barry. "He wants to let us know where he Is." Aud he answered the yell. But at that moment one of our own horses dashed up to the bunch of pick eted animals wheeled, trembling. Its rope bridle dangled broken from Its head. Sam Bagsby darted forward to seize the hanging cord. "It's cut!" he cried. "Quick! Out across the valley, boys!" We followed him Into the moonlight, grasping our rifles. A moment later a compact band swept toward us at full speed, our horses in the lead, their rope halters dangling, a dozen Indians on horseback following close at their heels and urging them on. "Shoot, boys!" yelled Bagsby, dis charging his own piece. Our rifles cracked.

He was down in n heap, cov ered with blood and quite dead. The savages had scalped him. In our long companionship we had grown very fond of him, for be was a merry, good natural, willing soul. ■ < "God!" cried Bagsby, deeply moved. "I'll put a ball through the next one of those devils I meet!" We returned slowly to the fire, car rying tho body, which we laid rever ently one side and covered with a ['blanket. In all our hearts burned a fierce, bitter anger. Sullenly we turn ed to prepare ourselves a meal from the supplies our hosts offered us. The latter were the father and flv sons of a backwoods family from the northwest, Pine by name. • They wer® all tall, heavily built men, slow Mov ing, slow speaking, with clear, steady, eyes, a drawling way of talking and 1 lie appearance always of keeping a mental reservation as to those with whom I hey conversed. •Tust now they stood tall and grim behind us as we ate. and' the gray dawn and the rose dawn grew into day. Nobody said anything until we bad finished, then Yank rose to >.ls full height and faced the atter've men. 1 , "I want vengeance," he rv.Vounced In an even voice, stretching forth his long, lean arm. "Those devils have harried our stock and killed our part ner, amU'm not. going to set quiet and let theni do it." Ho turned to us. "Boys." said he, "I know you're with me thar. But I'm going to git our friends ywe to go with us. Old man," ) ue said to Pine, "you ami yore sous help us with this job and we'll locate you on the purtlest diggings in these nills." "You bet!" agreed MeNally. "You don't nefed to make my boys no offer," replied Pine slowly. "Those dlvlls were after our hosses too, and they'd have got them If you hadn't come along. We'd been told by a man we believe that there wan't no*lnjuus in this country or you wouldn't have seen us sleeping es close to our fire. Whar do you all reckon to come up with them?" Our old trapper interposed. "Their rancheree is down the valley somewhat's," said Bagsby, "and we'll have to scout for It. We must go back to camp first and get a-ready." MeNally and 1 murmured against this check to immediate action, but saw the point after a moment. The Pines packed their slender outfit. We bound the body of our poor friend across Ills horse and mournfully re traced our steps. We arrived in camp about 10 o'clock, to find Johnny and Don Gaspar anx iously on the alert. When we had Im parted our news their faces, too, dark ened with anger. Of us all Vasquez had been the only man who never lost bis temper, who had always a flash of a smile for the hardest days. Hastily, we threw together provisions for sev eral days and arranged our affairs as . well as we could. We all wanted to go, and Don Gaspar, In spite of the re mains of his malarial fever, fairly In slsted on accompanying the expedition.
