CHAPTER XXvII
"The Light Fliclkers-"

ToR ten days the hor6e5 of Thark
i and their wild allies were feastcd and
entertained; and then, loaded with cost
ly presents and escorted by 10000 SOL
diers of Helium commanded by Mors Ka-
jak, they started on the return Journey
TO their own lands.
The Jed of lesser Helium, with n small
party of mobiles, accompanied them all the
way to Thark to cement more closely the
new bonds Of peace and friendship.
Sola also accompanied Tars Tarkas, her
father, who before all his chieftains had
acknowledged her as his daughter.
Three weeks later Mors Kajak aud his
officers. accompanied by Tars Tarkas and
Sola, returned upon battleship that had
been dispatched to Thark to fetch them
in time for the ceremony which made
Dejah Thoris and John Carter one.
For nine years 1 served in the coun-
ellis and fought in the armies of Helium
as a prince of the house of Tardos Mors
The people seemed never to tire. of heap
ing honors upon me, and no day passed
that did not bring some new proof of their
love for my princess, the Incompatible
Dejah Thoris.
In a golden incubator upon the roof of
our palace lay a snow-white egg. For
nearly five years 10 soldiers of the Jed
daks Guards had constantly stood over
1t. and not day passed when | was in
the city that Dejah Thoris and I did not
stand hand in hand before our little shrine
planning for the future, when the delicate
shell should break.
Vivid in my memory is the picture of
the last night as we sat there, talking in
low tones of the strange romance which
had woven our lives together, and of this
new wonder which was coming to aug
ment our happiness and round out our
hopes and aspirations.
In the distance we saw the bright white
light of an approaching airship, but we
attached no special significance to so COM
mon a sight.
Like a bolt Of lightning II raced to-
ward Helium until its very speed bespoke
the unusual.
Flashing the, signals which proclaimed
1t dispatch-bearer for the jeddak ii
circled impatiently, awaiting the tardy
patrol boat which must convoy it to the
palace docks.
Ten minutes after It touched at the
palace a message called me to the council
chamber, which l found filling with the
members of that body,
On the raised platform of the throne
was Tardos Mors pacing back and forth
with tense-drawn face, When all were
il. their seats he turned toward us.
This morning" he said, word reached
the several governments of Barsoom that

location OF oovernor's office.


The Organic Act establishing the
territorial government of Iowa con-
tanned no provision requiring the
Governor or Secretary to keep offic-
es at the seat of government, accord.
ing to Mr.. John F.. Briggs, the writer
of an article recently published by
the State Historical Society Of Iowa.
Thus when the capital was removed
to Iowa City 1t did not include the re-
moval Of the executive offices. Gov
ernOr Chambers took an aversion to
Iowa City, declaring that he would
reside in Burlington. 1t appears
that he had an office at Iowa City
only during sessions OF the Legisla-
tive assembly. !, In 1874 a memorial
was addressed to Congress asking
that the Governor and Secretary be
required to keep their offices at Iowa
City. This question was raised
again in 1S4S, but nothing came Of
1t. Not until 1864. indeed. was an
act of such character passed. Tken
a law requiring the Governor to
keep the Executive Office at Des
MOines. in which shall be transacted
the business of the Executive De-
partment Of the State Government
was placed upon the statute books.
