CHAPTER XVII
The Death Sentence

A FEW moments before the appointed
~ time on the following morning strong
guard of Eat Arras' officers appeared at
our quarters TO conduct us to the great
hall Of the temple
In twos we entered the chamber and
marched down the broad aisle OF hope. as
It is called, to the platform in the centre
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 entrance to the rostrum.
As we reached the raised inclosure I
saw our judges. As is the custom upon
Barsoom, there were 81, supposedly selected
by lot from men Of the noble class, for
mobiles were on trial.
But, to my amazement 1 saw no single
friendly face among them. Virtually all
were Zodangans and II was l to whom
Zodanga owed her defeat at the hands of
the green hordes and her subsequent vas
salage to Helum.
There could be little justice here for
John Carter his son, or for the great
Thark who had commanded the savage
tribesmen who overran Zodanga's broad
avenues looting, burning and numbering.
About us the vast circular coliseum was
packed to its full capacity. All classes
were rcpresented-all ages, and both sexes.
AS we entered the hall the hum Of sub
dued conversation ceased until. as we
halted upon the platform or throne of
righteousness. the silence of death en-
veloped the ten thousand spectators.
The judges were seated in q great circle
about the periphery of the circular plat
form. We were assigned seats with our
backs toward a small platform In tho
exact centre of the larger one.
This placed us facing the judges and the
audience. Upon the smaller platform each
would take his place while his case was
being heard.
Eat Arras himself sat in the golden chair
of the presiding magistrate. AS we were
seated and our guards retired to the foot
Of the ltairway 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 i'm
partially according to your acts and here
to know the reward you have earned there
by"
Then turning to and fro toward the au-
dience. he narrated the acts upon the value
of which my reward was to be determined.
Know you, o judges and people of
Helium," he said, that John Carter, one
time prince of Helium has returned, by his
own statement, from the Valley Dor and
even from the Temple of Issus itself
THAT In the presence of many men of
Heium he has blasphemed against the
Sacred Iss and against the Valley Dor, and
the Lost Sea of Korus, and the holy therns

TALES OF THE BLUE FOREST OF
ALASKA
Tulip Heart and Prince Marmolade
By Farmer Smith

ny FARMER Smltn
Little Tulip Heart lived ali alone with her
very old grandmother in the Blue Forest of
Alaska. She was the only little girl In all
the Forest and she liked the cold and the
snow and the big white furry bears.
The old grandmother was called Granny
Grump. She wanted Tulip Heart to be-
come queen OF all the golden rivers of
Alaska and of all the golden fish that swan
in the rivers.
Everything In the. Blue Forest knew old
Granny Grump. Even the trees and the
bushes bowed to her. And they all laughed
at her because she looked so funny without
any teeth. Then her nose and her chin met.
Her nose and her chin were sharp like the
arrowheads used by the Indians. and when
old Granny Grump talked her nose and her
chin raped together and made sparks.
Little Tulip Heart. whose hair was all
one mass of gold. had never seen boy or
a man. or even little girl like herself.
Her father and mother and old GRANNY
Grump had come to the Blue Forest in a
balloon. Old Granny got cut OF the balloon
with Little Tulip Iieart TO dig gold in a
river and Tulip Hearts mamma and papa
had sailed away in the balloon and got lost
Tulip Heart was wee baby then. and
as she grew to be little girl she played
with the little polar bears and silver foxes.
There were also golden brown bears in the
Blue Forest and big blue wolves.
Tulip Heart wasn't afraid of the bears or
the foxes or the blue wolves either. and
when she called them they came to her
and ate out of her hand Then there was
the snow bird. all white with diamonds IN
his head and emeralds all down his back,
We shall hear more about Little Tulip
Heart and the wonderful Prince MarmoIadI
and more about the Blue Forest, which NV
dear children, is in Alaska.

We were lodged in room upon the south
side of the temple overlooking the Avenue
of Ancestors, down which we could see the
full length to the gate of Jeddaks, five
miles away. The people had gathered In
the temple plaza and in the streets for a
distance of full mile and were standing
as close-packed as It was possible for them
to get.
They were very quiet and orderly; there
were neither SCOTS nor plaudlts, and when
they saw us at the window above them
there were many who buried their faces In
their arms and wept.
Late in the afternoon a messenger ar.
rived from Eat Arras to inform us that

500 POSTER AID MEN
OPEN CONVENTION
AT ATLANTIC CITY
Delegates Contemplate Taking
Steps for Further Improve
ment of Standards of
Profession
BATHERS CONSERVATIVE

ATLANTIC CITY July 1O.--Although
huge throng of Sunday visitors and perma-
nent guests promenaded yesterday beneath
''mackerel' sky, with prospects Of early
storms or sudden showers, there was no
let-up to the round of pleasures, and the
day passed without any rain to mar IT,
The first chalr-block occurred Saturday
night the Boardwalk vehicles stretching in
n long continuous line for score of city
blocks. Every time one stopped to unload
passengers the entire procession was halted
and many passengers enjoyed about 20
minutes of actual riding in an hour.
The ocean was kicking up a bit yester-
day, but there was no perceptible under
current and the actual number of rescues
was small, but the usual number Of "as-
ssts" to tmid or frightened bathers were
necessary
1t was the first day for the display of
freak female bathing suits, but there were
not many OF them on the beach or in the
surf. Navy blue and sombre black were
the colors selected by most of the females
A few Of the fair sex donned suits made of
the regulation skirt reaching to just above
the knee, with pantalettes coming below the
knee a few inches. A pair of socks, not
costume, leaving n part OF the leg bare
The wearers of these suits did not venture
in the water, but promenaded on the sands
and as many of them did not attract the at
tention they expected. they soon left the
beach. There was not one suit seen all day
that came under the official ban of the
beach censor.
The work of finishing the additions TO the
storage reservoirs for the Atlantic City
water supply is nearly finished and II is
estimated that from this time on there will
be more than 300,000.000 gallons of water
stored away to provide for possible
emergencies.

advertising through the medium of bill
