of a large number of kilograms and let

sition to H-222, giving the general assem-
bly, the power to elect the state highway
commissioner, and the expression OF SEN
timent against the bill by several represen-
tatives of boards Of trade, farm bureaus
and other organizations marked the final
hearing on this measure in Representa-
tives' hall yesterday afternoon.
The kilograms read by Chairman Darl-
ing opposing the passage of H-222 came

Hardwick board of trade, Guy Wilson OF
Bethel the Franklin county farm bureau,
the business mems association Of Bristol,
the Chester board of trade the st. Adams
board of trade, the Commercial club of St

front to Governor Hartness' and said
that passage of the measure would make
the position of highway commissioner "a
board of trade and several other Benning-
ton organizations, and several from other
towns and cities.
Fred G. Martin of Pennington, Demo
cratic candidate for governor last fall and
a member of the house in 1910, declared
that bennington county and the people OF
Bennington in particular, stood Squarely
behind the governor and wanted him to
have free hand in this road matter
Therefore. they oppose house bill 222.
Il don't believe that you men want to
take the power away from the governor,
said Mr. Martin. Il don't believe that you
came TO Montpelier with that idea. II
the governor is going to be required to
fulfill his promises, you have got to give
him 4 free hand to carry out his plan for
a new and bigger Vermont.

Following Mr.. Pelkey, Marshall J. Hap
good Of Peru arose and said:
Let us encourage independent, con-

CHAPTER VII.
lovs-Making on MARI.

IoSe.makth0 on MARI.
Following the battle with the air.
ships, the community remained within
the city for several days. abandoning
the homeward march until they could
feel reasonably assured that the ships
would not return; for to be caught
on the open plains with q eavalcads
Of chariots and children was far from
the desire Of even 30 warlike a people
as the green Martians.
During our period Of inactivity, Tars
Tarkas had instructed me in many Of
the customs and arts Of war familiar
to the Tharks, including LESSONS In
riding and guiding the great beasts
which bore the warriors. These crea-
lures, which are known as thoats, are
as dangerous and vicious as their mas
ters, but when once subdued are sum-
ciently tractable for the purposes of
the green Martians.
Two Of these animals had fallen
to me from the warriors whose metal
wore, and In short time could
handle them quite as we'll as the na.
tive warriors.
My experience with woola deter.
mined me to attempt the experiment
Of kindness IN my treatment Of my
thoats. First taught them that they
could not unseat me. and even raped
them sharply between the ears to i'm
press upon them my authority and
mastery. Then. by degrees. won
their confidence In much the same
manner as I had adopted countless
times with many mundane mounts.
In the course Of a few days my
thoats were the wonder Of the entire
community. They would follow me
like dogs, rubbing their great snouts
against my body In awkward evidence
Of affection. and respond to my every
command with an alacrity and docIli-
ty which caused the Martian warriors
to ascrfbe to me tho possession Of
some earthly power unknown on Mars.
On the seventh day following the
battle with the air craft we again
took up the march toward Thark, all
probability Of another attack being
deemed remote by Lorquas Ptomel.
During the days just preceding oul
departure. had seen but little Of De-
tah Th0ris, as had been kept very
busy by Tars Tarkas with my lessons
10 the art of Martian warfare. as well
as In the training Of my thoats. The
few times had visited her quarters
she had been absent. walking upon
the streets with Sola, or investigating
the buildings In the near vicinity of
the plaza.

and in accordance with our customs
you may select any or aA the females

thanked him, but assured him that
l could get along very nicely without
assistance except In the matter of pre-
pairing food, and so he promised to
send women to me for this purpose
and also for the care of my arms and
the manufacture Of my ammur irion,
which he said would be necessary.
finally chose a front room on tho
third floor, because this brought me
nearer to Dejah Thoris, whose apart
ment was on the second floor Of the
adjoining building, and 1t flashed up
on me that could rig up some means
of communication whereby she might
signal me in case she needed either
my services or my protection.
My thoughts were cut short by the
advent of several young females bear
ing loads of weapons, silks, furs, Jew
els, cooking utensils, and casks of food
and drink. including considerable loot
from the air craft. All this. 1t seemed,
had been the property Of the two
chieftains l had slain. and now. by
the customs Of the Tharks. 1t had be-
come mine. At my direction they
placed the stuff in one Of the back
rooms, and then departed. only to re-
turn with a second load. which they
advised me constituted the balnpce
Of my goods.
Finding that must assume respons-
ibility for these creatures. whether
l would or not, I made the best Of It
and directed them to find quarters on
the upper floors, leaving the third
floor to me. One Of the girls charged
with the duties of my simple cuisine,
and directed the others to take up the
various activities which had formerly
constituted their vocations. There
after I saw little Of them, nor did ]
care to.
