the black fortress with it's scat
tered sentry lights, where slept a
garrison in sweet ignorance of
the tragedy that was to come up
on them when the sun was high
The lights Of the city itself soon
peeped down into the rain-swept
waters, music from the distant
cafes came family to the ears of
the midnight voyagers. A safe
haven at their very elbows, and
yet unattainable.
The occasional creak Of an oar,
a whispered oath of dismay, the
heavy breathing of toilers. the
soft blowing of the mist-thut
was all; no other sound on the
broad. still river. 1t was, indeed,
a night fit for the undertaking
at hand.
Truxton began to chafe under
the strain. His uneasiness was
Increased by the certain convic-
ton that before long they would
be beyond the city, the walls of
which were gradually slipping
past. He could not even so much
as guess at their destination.
There was also the likelihood of
encountering reinforcements, sent
out to meet the boatmen, or for
protection at the time of landing.
A hundred doubts and misgivings
assailed him. To suddenly open
fire on the rascals went against
the grain. A dashing, running
fight on shore was more to his
liking. An ill-timed move would
foil them even as success was in
their grasp.
He considered their chances il
he were to overturn the frail boat
and strike out for shore in the
darkness. This project he gave
up at once: he did not know the
waters nor the banks between
which they glided. They were
past the wall now and rowing less
stealthily. Before long they would
be in a position to speak aloud;
it would be awkward for him. The
situation was rapidly growing
more and more desperate; the
time was near at hand when the
final effort would have to be ex-
erted. He slipped the revolver
from his pocket; somehow he was
unable to keep his teeth from
but it was through ex-
not fear.
Suddenly the boat turned to the
right and shot toward the unseen
bank. They were perhaps half a
mile above the city wall. Trux-
tons mind was working like a
trip-hammer. He was recalling
a certain nomad settlement north
of the city: a squalid, unclean
community that lay under the
walls between the northern gates
and the river. These people, he
was not slow to surmise, were I'M
ddubtedly hand in glove with
NuI idnA, IL hOI oO surely COnueCL-
ed with the misguided Committee
of Ten. This being the eve of the
great uprising, 1t was not unlike
ty that secret host lay here
awake and ready for the foul OBJ
servance of the coming holiday;
here, at least, chafed an eager,
vicious, law-hating community of
mendicants and outcasts.
In He had little time to speculate
on the attitude of the denizens of
this unwholesome place. The
PROV of the boat grated on the
'pebbly bank, and Peter Brutus
1eaped over the edge into the
shallow water.
Come on, Julius-hand her
over to mel" he cried, making his
way to the stern.
AS he leaned over the side tc
seize the girl in his arms, Truxton
King brought the butt of the
heavy revolver down upon his
skull. Brutus dropped across the
gunwale with a groan, dead to ali
that was to happen in the next
half hour or more.
King was anxious to avoid the

NEW MARIAN CANAL IS
THOUGHT PROOF OF LIFE

CHICAGO, Feb. ia new canal
en- Mars, 1000 miles in length, has
been discovered by Prof. Percival
Lowell OF the Flagstaff Observatory,
Ariz., and this is evidence, accord
ing to the astronomer, that the plan
ct is inhabited. The announcement
Of the discovery has been made to
Prof. S. w. Burnham of the Yerkes
Observatory. Prof. Lowell Is In Chi
cago today on his way West.
Not only did Prof. Lowell see the
new canal, but he photographed it..
Previous photography of this region.
made as late as last May. failed to
show any trace of the new canal.
The fact that 1t developed between
May and September, when 1t was
first observed, Prof. Lowell regarded
as positive proof that 1t was arti-
fetal, and, therefore, that living be-
ings exist on the neighbor planet.
Prof. Lowell's discovery is Of the
utmost Importance" said Prof. Burn
nam. 1T seems to be the strongest
confirmation yet obtained of the be-
lief that there are living, intelli-
gent beings on Mars. II is bound
to cause stir In the world OF
astronomy. Prof. Lowell's observa-
tions, covering fifteen years or more
have done much to reveal conditions
on Mars. But this seems to be the
most striking of his discoveries.
