TURNS GLOBE TROTTER.
Federal Prisoner Who Was Released
on His Word u Year Ago.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Feb. 1.-TWO years ago
Cal Sanders, aged eighteen, of this county,
was arrested charged with robbing and then
burning the postoffice at Markleville. He
was indicted by the federal grand jury and
later released on his own recognizance by
Judge Baker and was furnished with funds
to run down a gang of desperadoes in this
county, whom he promised to locate. In
stead of landing them young Sanders de-
camped leaving the federal officers in the
lurch. He has been missing over year.
To-day it was learned through letter that
he was in Honolulu the first of the year,
and is now on trip around the world.
After leaving here he joined the regular
army and was stationed at Fort Whipple.
Six months of that was enough, and he
deserted, going to San Francisco. Finally
he caught a vessel to Honolulu. In his let
ter he stated that from there he was going
to Japan, and it is his intention to work
around to Europe. Sanders comes from
good parents.

But among the civilians there was
an almost infinite variety of cranial
development instead of the uniformity
that characterized the soldiers. In
their bodily appearance they did not
differ so very much from one another,
but the expression of the countenance
and the shape of the head formed the
index to character.
In some the development of the re-
Elective faculties had produced pre-
cipitous brows that seemed too heavy
for their owners to carry. 1t would
would have driven a phrenologist crazy
with delight to pass about among these
people and see the marvellous shapes
that their heads had assumed.
And all this, as we were assured,
was completely under the control of
the Martians themselves. They had
learned, or invt nted, methods by which
the brain itself could be manipulated,
so to speak, and any desired portions
of it could be specially developed,
while the other parts were left to their
normal growth. The consequence was
that in the Martian schools and col
leges there was no teaching in our
sense Of the world. 1t was all brain
culture.
The youth who was intended for a
soldier had his fighting faculties es-
pecially developed, together with those
parts of the brain which impart cour-
age and steadiness Of nerve. He who
was intended for scientific investiga-
tion had his brain developed into a

room, with it's great disintegrators
pointed upon the crowd like the muz-
zles of a cruisers guns.
And now the Martians saw that the
contest was hopeless for them, and
their mad struggle to get out of the
range of the disintegrators and to es-
cape from the death chamber was
more appalling to look upon than any
thing that had yet occurred.
Still the pitiless disintegrators played
upon them until Mr.. Edison, making
himself heard, now that the thunder
of their engines had ceased to rever-
berate through the chamber, COM
manded that our fire should cease.
Through all this terrible contest the
Emperor of the Martians had remained
standing upon his throne, gazing at
the awful spectacle and not moving
from the spot. Neither he nor the
frightened women gathered upon the
steps of the throne had been injured
by the disintegrators. Their immunity
was due to the fact that the position

that it was not within the range of
fire of the electrical ships which had
poured their vibratory discharges
through the windows, and we inside
had only directed our fire toward the
warriors who had attacked us.

turned our attention to Alma. Forum

should have in recounting our adven-
lures to our friends on the earth, who
We're doubtless eagerly waiting for
news from US We knew they had
been watching Mars with powerful
telescopes, and we were also eager to
learn how much they had seen and
how much they had been able to guess
of our proceedings
But day or two at least would be
required to overhaul the electrical
ships and to examine the state of our
provisions. Those which we had
brought from the earth, it will be re-
membered, had been spoiled and we
had been compelled to replace them
from the compressed provisions found
in the Martians' storehouse. A new
supply, however, would be necessary
in order to carry us back to the earth.
AT least sixty days would be required
for the homeward journey, because we
could hardly expect to start from Mars
with the same initial velocity which
we had been able to generate on leav-
ing home.
In considering the matter of pro-
visioning the fleet it finally became
necessary to take an account of our
losses. This was a thing that we had
all shrunk from, because they had
seemed to us almost too t'rrible to be

time to wonder that single one of us
remained alive.
Rather by instinct than in conse-
quence of any order given, we formed
ourselves in a hollow square, with Alma
lying apparently lifeless in the center,
and then with gritted teeth we did our
work.
The lines of guards melted before the
disintegrators like rows of snow men
before licking flame.
The discharge of the lightning en-
gines in the hands of the Martians in
that confined space made an uproar so
tremendous that it seemed to pass the
bounds of human sense
More of our men fell before their
awful fire, and for the second time
since our arrival on this dreadful
planet of war our annihlation seemed
inevitable.
But in a moment the whole scene
changed. Suddenly there was dis
charge into the room which I knew
came from one of the disintegratorS
of the electrical ships. 1t swept through
the crowded throng like de-
stroying blast. Instantly from another
side swished a second discharge, no
less destructive, and this was quickly
followed by a third Our ships We're
