the return Journey to their own lands.
The Jed Of Lesser Helium with 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 chief
tains had acknowledged her as his
daughter.
Three weeks later, Mors Kajak and
his officers accompanied by Tars Tar
kas and SOla, returned upon a battle
ship 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 ] served In the coun-
ellis and fought In the armies OF Helium
as q prince Of the house Of Tardos
MorS. The people seemed never to
tire Of heaping honOrs upon me, and
no day passed that did not bring some
new proof Of their love for their prin-
cess, the Incompatible Dejah Thoris.
In a golden incubator upon the roof
OF our palace lay a snOw-white egg.
For nearly five years ten soldiers Of
the jeddak's Guard had constantly
stood over 1t, and not a day passed
when / was in the city that Dejah
ThOris and / 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 talk
ing in low tones of the strange rO-
nance which had woven our lives to-
gether and Of this wonder which was
coming to augment our happiness and
fulfill our hopes.
In the distance we saw the bright
white light Of an approaching airship,
but we attached no special significance
to so common a sight. Like bolt Of
lightning 1t raced toward Helium until
ITS very speed bespoke the unusual.

cried. "There is, there must be some
way, and John Carter, who has fought
his way through strange world Tor

And with my words there crept
above the threshold Of my conscious
mind series Of nine long forgotten
sounds. Like a fash Of lightning IN
the darkness their full purport dawned
upon me-the key to the three great
doors Of the atmosphere plant
Turning suddenly toward Tardos
Mors as still clasped my dying love
to my breast cried:
"A flyer, Jeddak Quick Order
your swiftest flyer to the palace top.
I can save Barsoom yet"
He did not wait to question, but IN
an instant a guard was racing to the
nearest dock and though the air was
thin and almost gone at the rooftop

skill Of Barsoom had ever produced.

felt myself over from head to foot
and from head to foot was clothed,
though when / fell unconscious at the
little doorway had been naked. Be-
fore me was small patch OF moonlit
sky which showed through q ragged
aperture.
AS my hands passed over my body
they came in contact with pockets and
in one Of these small parcel of
matches wrapped in oiled paper. One
Of these matches / struck, and its dim
fame lighted up what appeared to be
a huge cave, toward the back Of which
l discovered q strange, still figure
huddled over a tiny bench. AS ap-
preached 1t saw that it was the dead
and mummified remains of little old
woman with long black hair. and the
thing 1t leaned over was a small char
coal burner upon which rested a
round copper vessel containing a
small quantity Of greenish powder.
Behind her, depending from the roof
upon rawhide thongs, and stretching
entirely across the cave, was row OF
human skeletons. From the thong
which held them stretched another to

same moment the battle line of Helium
surged over the opposite breastworks
Of the ZOdangans and in another mo-
ment they were being crushed as be-
tween two millstones. Nobly they
fought, but in vain.
The plain before the city became
veritable shambles ere the last Zodan-
gan surrendered, but finally the car
mage ceased, the prisoners were
marched back to Helium, and we en-
tered the greater city's gates, huge
triumphal procession of conquering
heroes.
The broad avenues were lined with
women and children, among which
were the few men whose duties neces-
stated that they remain within the
city during the battle. We were greet
ed with an endless round Of applause
and shOWered with ornaments of gold,
platinum, silver and precious jewels.
The city had gone mad with JOY
My fierce Tharks caused the widest
excitement and enthusiasm. Never be-
fore had an armed body Of green war
riors entered the gates Of Helium, and
that they came now as friends and al
lies filed the red men with rejoicing.
That my poor services to DeJah Tho
ris had become known to the Helium-
ties was evidenced by the loud crying
Of my name, and by the loads Of Orna
ments that were fastened upon me and
my huge thoat as we passed up the
avenues to the palace, for even in the
face of the ferOcious appearance of
Woola the populace pressed close
about me.
At the top Of the great steps lead

claimed it dispatch bearer for the
jeddak, it circled impatiently awaiting
the tardy patrol boat which must con-
voy 1t to the paIaee docks.
Ten minutes after it touched at the
palace message called me to the
council chamber, which l found filing
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 in their seats he turned to-
ward us.
"This morning." he said, sword
reached the several governments Of
Barsoom that the keeper of the atmOs-
phere plant had made no wireless re-
port for two days, nor had almost
ceaseless calls upon him from a score
Of capitals ELECTED sign Of response.
All day a thousand cruisers have been
searching for him until, just now, one
Of them returns bearing his dead body,
which was found in the pits beneath
his house horribly mutilated by some
assassin.
'I do not need to tell you what this
means to Barsoom. 1t would take
months to penetrate those mighty
walls, in fact the work has already
commenced, and there would be little
to fear were the engine of the pumping
plant to run as it should and as they
all have for hundreds of years; but the
worst, we fear, has happened. The
instruments show rapidly decreasing
air pressure on all parts Of Barsoom-
the engine has stopped.
MY gentlemen" he concluded. 1--WE
have at best three days to live"
The Snowflake herald., 1921-05-06

l would not leave Tars Tarkas until
that had been accomplished.
The commander of the naval forces
OF Helium promised to arrange to have
the armies Of Helium attack from the
city in conjunction with our land at
tack, and so the vessels separated and
Dejah Thoris was borne in triumph
back to the court of her grandfather,
TardOs MOrs, jeddak Of Helium.
IN the distance lay our feet Of
Transports with the thoats Of the
green warriors, where they had re-
manned during the battle. Without
landing stages 1t was to be difficult
matter to unload these beasts upon the
open plain, but there was nothing else
for 1t, and so we put out for point
about ten miles from the city and be-
gan the task.
AS soon as the last thoat was un.
loaded Tars Tarkas gave the command
to advance, and in three parties we
crept upon the ZOdangan camp from
the north, the south and the east.
About a mile from the main camp
we encountered their outposts and, as
had been prearranged, accepted this
as the signal to charge. With wild,
ferocious cries and amidst the nasty
sQuealing of battle -enraged thoats we
bore down upon the ZOdangans.
We did not catch them mapping, but
found a weIl-entrenched battle line
confronting us. Time after time we
were repulsed until, toward noon, /
began to fear for the result of the bat
tie. The forces from Helium had not
arrived, nor could we receive any word
from them.
Just at noon we heard heavy firing
all along the line between the Zodan-
lgans and the cities, and we knew then
that our much-needed re-enforcements
had come.
Again Tars Tarkas ordered the
charge, and once more the mighty
thoats bore their terrible riders against
the ramparts Of the enemy. At the

man for Refusing to Consider
Matrimonial Alliance.

In spite of the success with which
the campaign against the binding of
women's feet has been waged In China,
there are still parts where men will
not marry girls who have natural feet.
Missionaries try, so far as possible,
to arrange marriages between Chris
tian girls and Christian men. One of
our Christian girls, writes a CORE
spondent, was getting quite an old
maid, having reached the age Of twen-
ty-elght. Several heather had asked
her, but she refused them all. One OF
our preachers approached a country
tenant farmer and tried to persuade
him to ask the twenty-eight-year-old
lady. We all thought II would come
on. The man was about the same age
as the lady in question, and had not
yet succeeded In getting engaged. But,
to our surprise, he would have nothing
to do with the plan, and gave as his
reason: "Who would marry q girl with
skirt like that?" The girl had her
skirt embroidered In different way
to the girls and the women in the vii
lage where the particular swain lived,
and he felt that he dared not make
such an innovation ON the fashion Of
his own village. A beautiful pair OF
brown eyes, long, fine, black hair, and
a good Christian character counted as
nothing against strange style Of skirt
embroidery

Dejah Thoris and she sat gazing long
ingly upon the unknown little life that
now she would never know.
AS 1t was becoming perceptibly DIFF
fcult to breathe Tardos Mors arose,
saying:
let us bid each other farewell. The
days Of the greatness Of BarsoOm are
over. Tomorrow's sun will look down
upon a dead world which through all
eternity must go swinging through the
heavens peopled not even by MEM

He stopped and kissed the women.

upon the shoulders of the men.
AS turned sadly from him my eyes
fell upon Dejah Thoris. Her head was
dropping upon her breast, to oil ap-
pearances- she was lifeless. With cry

arms.
