CHAPTER xi.
Chained In Warhoon.

It must have been several hours be-
fore regained consciousness. / was
lying among pile of sleeping silks
and furs in the corner of small room
in which were several green warriors.
and bending over me was an ancient
and ugly female.
AS l opened my eyes she turned to
one of the warriors. saying:
"He will live, o Jed"
"'Tis WE'LL" replied the one so adj
dressed, rising and approaching my
couch, ''he should lender rare sport
for the great games"
And now as my eyes fell upon him,
I saw that he was no Thank. for his
ornaments and metal were not of that
horde. He was huge fellow, terribly
SCARED about the face and chest. and
with one broken tusk and a missing
ear. Strapped on either breast were
human skulls and depending from
these a number Of dried human hands.
His reference to the great games Of
which l had heard so much while
among the Thanks convinced me that
I had but jumped from purgatory into
gShenna.
was strapped securely to as wild
and unmanageable thoat as had
ever seen, and, with mounted war;
rior on either side to prevent the beast
from boiling, we rode forth at a furi-
GUS pace in pursuit Of the column.
Just before dark we reached the main
body of troops shortly after they had
made camp for the night. l was i'm
mediately taken before the leader, who
proved to be the jeddak Of the hordes
Of Warhoon.
Like the jed who had brought me,
he was frightfully SCARED, and also
decorated with the breastplate of hui
man skulls and dried dead hands
which seemed to mark all the greater
warriors among the Warhoons, as we'll
as to indicate their awful ferocity,
which greatly transcends even that of
the Thanks.
The jeddak, Bar Comas, who was
comparatively young. was the object
Of the fierce and jealous hatred Of his
lieutenant, Oak Kova, thu jed who had
captured me, and could not but note
the almost studied efforts which thu
latter made to affront his superior.
He entirely omitted the usual for
NAL salutation as We entered the pres
ence Of the jeddak, and as he pushed
me roughly before the ruler he ex-
claimed In loud and menacing voice
II have brought a strange creature
wearing the metal Of n Thark whom II

wild thoat Mt the great games"

and Dejah Thoris and Sofa stood
alone before the ieddak of the Thanks.
One chieftain alone had hesitated
before departing; saw him standing
in the shadows of 4 mighty column,
his fingers ne.vously toying with the
hilt of his great sword and his cruel
eyes bent in implacable hatred upon
Tai Hajus. 1t was Tars Tarkas, and
l could read his thoughts as if they
were an open book, for the undis-
guised loathing upon his face. He was
thinking of that other woman who
forty years ago, had stood before this
beast and could have spoken word
into his ear at that moment the reign
of Tai Hajus would have been over;
but finally he also strobe from the
room, not knowing that he left his own
daughter at the mercy Of the creature
he most loathed.
Tai Hajus arose. and ], half fearing,
half anticipating his intentions. hur-
ried to the winding runway which led
to the floors below. No one was near
to intercept me, and I reached the
main floor Of the chamber unobserved,
taking my station in the shadow Of
the same column that Tars Tarkas had
but just deserted. AS l reached the
floor Tai Hajus was speaking.
princess Of Helium, might wiring
a mighty ransom from your people
would l but return you to- them I'M
harmed, but thousand times rather
would I watch that beautiful face
writhe in the agony of torture; it shall
be long drawn out, that promise you;
ten days of pleasure were all too short
to show the love l harbor for your
race. The terrors of your death shall
haunt the slumbers Of the red men
through all the ages to come; they will
shudder, in the shadows of the night
as their fathers tell them of the awful
vengeance Of the green men; of the
power and might and hate and cruelty
of Tai Hajus. But before that torture
YOU shall be mine for one short hour,
and word of that too shall go forth to
Tardos Mors, Jeddak of Helium, your
grandfather, that he may grovel upon
the ground in the agony of his sorrow.
Tomorrow the torture will commence ;
tonight thou art Tai Hajus'; comet"
He sprang down from the platform
and grasped her roughly by the arm,
but scarcely had he touched her than
I leaped between them. My short
