CHAPTER XIX.

The only hope for us lay in the girl
If, as there was every reason to be-
lieve, she was familiar with the ways
and secrets Of the Martians then she
might be able to direct our efforts in
such a manner as to render them effect
i've.
1--WE can spare two weeks for this
said Mr. Edison Can you fellows OF
many tongues learn to talk with the girl
in that timer
Wen try it, said several.
st shall we do, cried the Heidelberg
professor, more confidently
"Then there is no use of staying
here, continued the commander If
we Withdraw, the Martians will think
that we have either given up the contest
or been destroyed Perhaps they Will
then pull of their blanket and let MS see
their face once more That will give us
better opportunity to strike effectively
when we are again ready"
"Why not rendezvous at one Of the
moonsf" said an astronomer. "Neither
of the two moons is OF much conse-
quence, as far as size goes, but still it
would serve as sort of anchorage
ground, and while there, if we were
careful to keep on the side away from
Mars we should escape detection. +"
This suggestion was Immediately ac-
cepted, and the squadron, having been
signaled to assemble, quickly bore off in
the direction of the more distant moon

slightly smaller than Phobos, but its
greater distance gave promise that it
would better serve our purpose of tenn
porary concealment. The moons of
Mars, like the earth's moon, always
keep the same face toward their master
BY hiding behind Deimos we should es-
cape the prying eyes of the Martians,
even when they employed telescopes,
and thus be able to remain comparative

upon them again after we bad obtained,

formation that would make us masters
of the situation.
Deimos proved to be. as we had ex-
pected, about six miles in diameter. Its
mean density is not very great, SO that
the acceleration Of gravity did not ex-
coed one two-thousandth Of the earth s..
Consequently the weight of man turn
ing the scales ut 100 pounds at home
was here only about an ounce
The result was that we could move
about with even greater case than ON
the golden asteroid, and some of the
scientific men eagerly resumed their in
terrupted experiments
But the attraction Of this little satel-
lite was so slight that we had to be

ly leave the ground and sail out into
space, as, it will be remembered, had
happened to the fugitives during the
fight on the asteroid
Not only would such an adventure
have been an uncomfortable experience,
but it might have endangered the sue
cess Of our scheme. Our present distance
from the surface of Mars did not exceed
IL, 900 miles, and we had reason to be-
lieve that the Martians possessed tele.
scopes powerful enough to enable them
not merely to see the electrical ships at
such distance, but also to catch sight
OF us individually. Although the cloud
curtain still rested on the planet it was
probable that the Martians would send
some of their airships up to its surface
III order to determine what our fate had
been. From that point of vantage, with
their exceedingly powerful glasses, we
feared that they might be able to detect
anything unusual upon or in the neigh
borhood of DEMOS
Accordingly strict orders were given,
not only that the ships should be moored
on that side of the satellite which ia
perpetually turned away from Mars.
but that without orders no one should
venture around ON the other side of the
little globe or even ON the edge of it,
where be might be seen in profile
against the sky.
Still, of course, it was essential that
we ON our part should keep a close
watch, and so number of sentinels
were selected, whose duty it was to
place themselves at the edge of Deimos,
where they could peep over the horizon,
SO to speak, and catch sight Of the globe
Of our enemies
The distance Of Mars from MS was
only about three times its own Diane
ter; consequently it shut off large part
OF the sky, as viewed from our position.
But in order to see its whole surface

armed with mysterious weapons, and
began to Stay and burn and make DESC
late. Our forefathers could not with
stand them. They seemed like demons
who had been sent from the abodes of
evil to destroy our race.
Some of the wise men said that this
thing had come upon our people because
they had been very wicked and the
gods in heaven were angry. Some said
they came from the moon, and some
from the faraway stars. But of these
things my forefathers knew nothing for
a certainty.

they swept over other parts of the earth.
The tradition says that they carried
off from the valley which was our ma.
tive land large number of our people.
taking them first into strange conn
try, where there were oceans of sand
but where great river, flowing through
the midst of the sands created narrow

And in this land of sand, it is said.
they did many wonderful works
They had been astonished at the
sight OF the great mountains which
surrounded our valley, for on Mars
there are no mountains, and after thew
came into the land of sand they built
there with huge blocks of stone moua-
talns in imitation of what they had seen
and used them for purposes that our
people did not understand.
Then, too, it is said they left there
at the foot of these mountains that thew
had made gigantic image of the great
chief who led them in their CONQUEST Of

CHAMBERLAIN'S SPEECH

London, Jan. 21.-The rather dull
debate in the House of Commons last
night had two noticeable points. The
first was the hopelessness of the real
unity Of the opposition, as shown by
the result Of the vote on the amend.
ment proposed by Jonn Dillon, on
which a considerably body of the Rad
icals voted with the Nationalist
against the policy of supporting the
war.
The second point was the delivery
| by Mr. Chamberlain of what was call.
ed the turning the corner for peace
speech" which except in the extreme
pro.Boer quarters represented by the
! Daily News, seems to be upon all sides
approved as dignifed and statesman
| like utterance.
Referring to this speech, the Morn
| ing Post says:
ut was the tone OF Lincoln in his
second Presidency"
The Daily Chronicle comments upon
the absence of the customary asperity
during the debate, and declares that
! MIR. Chamberlain went near to &C
cepting Lord Rosebery's policy"
4 Mr. Chamberlain expressly declared
That the Government was not animated
by any vindictive feeling nor deaf tc
reasonable overtures of principle, but
insisted that the latter must come
from a responsible authority.
The Daily News argues that II is q
preteXt to prevent any negotiations
whatever.
Mr.. Chamberlain's speech consider

House. He himself was imbued will

his notes and took a deal of pains t,
find and re-arrange them before pro
ceeding.
Winston Churchill will resume tn,
debate today on Mr.. Cawley's amend
ment to the address in reply to tn,
speech from the throne, and a division
will be taken tonight.

amount is equal to the amount which it was
