AS | reached the doorway of our
building a strange surprise awaited

the arms, ornaments and full accou-
terments of his kind. These he pre-
SeDted to me with a few unintelligible

Of war.
The training Of myself and the
young Martians was conducted solely
by the women, who not only attend
to the education of the young in the
arts Of individual defense and offense,
but are also the artisans who produce
every manufactured article wrought
by the green Martians. In time Of
actual warfare they form a part of
the reserves, and when the necessity
arises fight with even greater intel
1igence and ferocity than the. men.
The men are trained in the higher
branches Of the art Of war; In STRAIT
egg and the maneuvering Of large
bodies OF troops. They make the laws
as they are needed; a new law for
each emergency. Customs have been
handed down by ages Of repetition,
but the punishment for ignoring a Gus
tom Is a matter for individual treat
ment by a jury Of the culprit's peers,
and / may say that justice seldom
misses fire, but seems rather to rule
in inverse ratio to the ascendency Of

tians are a happy people; they have

Copyright, 1910, 4. O, McClurg & Col

FOREWORD.-The author tells of his
acquaintance with the hero Of one of the
most remarkable adventures ever record
ed From a manuscript left by his friend
he has wildly set out the strange hap
pennings which brought together a brave
virginia gentleman and a Princess of
Mars
CHAPTER LIN the Arizona hills, John
Garter, mining prospector and ex-Confed-
crate soldier, fleeing from a war party
OF Apaches, takes refuge in a cave the
atmosphere of which has q remarkable
effect on him. Yielding to its influence,
he sinks into Inconsistencies, his last
thoughts conferred on the glow from the
planet Mars.
CHAPTER u.--AWaking, Carter real
ICES that he has, in some incomprehensi-
Die manner, been transported to Mars
He Is surprised by party of armed Mar
tan warriors, who seek his life. He con-
vinces their leader, Tars Tarkas of HIS
harmlessness and is conveyed, a prisoner
to the Marian city.
CHAPTER II1.-A creature holding
much the position OF q dog on earth Is
set to guard him.
She was as destitute Of clothes as
the green Martians who accompanied
her: indeed. save for her highly
wrought ornaments she was entirely
naked, nor could any apparel have
enhanced the beauty Of her perfect
and symmetrical figure.
AS her gaze rested on me her eyes
opened wide In establishment and she
made little sign with her free hand /;
a sign which | did not, of course, I'M
derStand. Just moment we gazed
upon each other, and then the look
of hope and renewed courage which
had glOrified her face as she discov-
cred me, faded into one Of utter deiec-
ton, mingled with loathing and con-
tempt. I realized had not answered
her signal, and ignorant as I was Of
Marian customs, intuitively felt that
she had made an appeal for succor and
protection which my unfortunate ignor-
ance had prevented me from answer
ing. AND then she was dragged out
of my sight into the depths of the
deserted edifice
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-02-11

such food and utensils as she might
need, telling her that | would guard
Dejah Thoris until her return.
AS Sofa departed Dejah Thoris
turned to me with a faint smile.
And to where. then, would your pris-
oner escape should you leave her. IN
less it was to follow you and crave
your protection, and ask your pardon
for the cruel thoughts she has har-
bored against you. these past few
daysY'
You are right" | answered. there
is no escape for either of US unless we
go together"
Il heard your challenge to the crea"
ture you call Tars Tarkas, and think
J. understand your position among
these people, but what cannot fathom
is your statement that you are not of
Barsoom.
In the name of my first ancestor
then" she continued. where may you
be from? You are like unto my peo-
pie. and yet so unlike. You speak my
language, and yet ! heard you tell
Tars Tarkas that you had but learned
1t recently. All Barsoomians speak the
same tongue from the ice-clad south to
the ice-clad north, though their written
languages differ. Only In the valley
Dor, where the river ISIS empties into
the lost sea of Korus, is there supposed
to be different language spoken. and,
except in the legends Of our ancestors,
there is no record OF Barsoomian re-
turning up the river ISIS, from the
shores Of Korus in the valley Of Dor.
Do not tell me that you have thus re-
turnedi They would kill you horribly
anywhere upon the surface Of Barsoom
II that were true; tell me 1t Is notI"
Her little hands. reached up upon
my breast, were pressed against me
as though to wiring denial from my
very heart.
81 do not know your customs, Dejah
Thorls, but In my own Virginia gen.
leman does not lie to save himself !;
I am not Of Dor; have never seen
the mysterious ISIS; the lost sea Of
Korus is still lost, so far as / am con-
eerned. Do you believe mel"
And then It struck me that ! was
very anxious that she should believe
me. looked down at her: her beauti-
full face upturned. and her wonderful
eyes opening up the very depth of her
soul and as my eyes met hers knew
why, and-I Shuddered.
A similar wave of feeling seemed
to stir her; she drew away from me
with sigh, and with her earnest,
beautiful face turned up to mine, she
whispered: Il believe you, John Car
ter; | do not know what a gentle
man Is, nor have / ever heard before
of Virginia; but on Barsoom no man
lies; if he does not wish to speak the
truth he is silent. Where is this Vir-
| ginia, your country, John Carter?"
she asked and it seemed that this
fair name of my fair land had never
sounded more beautiful than as II
fell from those perfect lips on that
| far gone day

CHAPTER vi.
With DeIah ThorIa.

As we reached the open the two fe-
male guards who had been detailed to
watch over Dejah Thoris hurried up
and made as though to assume custody
Of her once more. The poor child
shrank against me and / felt her two
little hands fold tightly over my arm.
Waving the women away, informed
them that Sofa would attend the cap
tive hereafter. Sarkoja merely gave
US an ugly look and departed to hatch
up deviltries against US.
soon found Sofa and explained to
her that l wished her TO guard DeJah
Thoris as she had guarded me; that !
wished her to find other quarters
where they would not be molested by
Sarkoja, and finally informed her
that myself would take up my quar-
tiers among the men.
you are a great chieftain now, John
Carter" she said, "and must do your
bidding. though indeed am glad to do
1t under any circumstances. The man
whose metal you carry WAS young, but
he was great warrior, and had by his
promotions and kills won his way close
to the rank of Tars Tarkas, who, as
you know. is second to Lorquas Ptomel
only. You are eleventh, there are but
ten chieftains In this community who
rank you in proves"
"And If I should kill Lorquas Pto-
mel7" asked
"You would be first, John Carter ;
but you may only win that honor by
the will of the entire council that Lor-
quas Ptomel meet you In combat, or
should he attack you, you may kill him
in self-defense, and thus win first
place"
I laughed, and changed the subject.
/ had no particular desire to kill Lor-
quas Ptomel, and less to be a jed
among the Thanks.
l accompanied Sofa and Dejah Thor
is in a search for new quarters, which
we found in building near the audi
ence chamber and of far more preten
tious architecture than our former
habitation. We also found In this
building real sleeping apartments with
ancient beds of highly wrought metal
swinging from enormous gold chains
depending from the marble ceilings.
The decoration of the walls was most
elaborate and, unlike the frescoes In
the other buildings l had examined,
portrayed many human figures in the
compositions. These we're Of people
like myself, and Of much lighter col
or than Dejah Thoris. They were clad
In graceful, flowing robes, highly orna-
mented with metal and Jewels, and
their Iuxuriant hair was of beautiful
golden and reddish bronze. The men
were beardless and only few wore
arms. The scenes depicted for the
most part a fair-skinned, fair-haired
people at play.
Dejah Thoris ciasped her hands
with an exclamation Of rapture as she
gazed upon these magnificent works of
art, wrought by a people long extinct ;
while Sofa, on the other hand, appar.
emily did not see them.
We decided to use this room, on the
second floor and overlooking the plaza,
for Dejah Thoris and Sofa, and an
other room adjoining and in the rear
for cooking and supplies. / then dis
patched Sofa to bring the bedding and
