monstrous thoats upon my hands, now
that the city probably was aroused by
the knowledge of my escape, was a
problem of no mean proportions.
Suddenly an idea occurred to me and,
acting on my knowledge of the con
Struction of the buildings of these an
clent Martian cities with a hollow
court within the center of each
square, groped my way blindly
through the dark chambers, calling the
great thoats after me. They had diff
Guilty in negotiating some of the door
ways, but as the buildings fronting the
city's principal exposures were all de-
signed upon a magnificent scale, they
were able TO wriggle through without
sticking fast; and thus we finally
made the inner court where l found,
as had expected. the usual carpet of
moss-like vegetation which would
prove their food and drink until l
could return them to their own en-
closure.
Removing the saddle trappings, hid
them just within the rear doorway of
the building through which we had
entered the court and. turning the
beasts loose, quickly made my way
across the court to the rear of the
buildings upon the further side. and
thence TO the avenue beyond With
only the slight chance of detection
which the necessary crossing of the
avenues entailed, ] made my way in
safety to the courtyard in the rear Of
Deiah Thoris' quarters.
Here, of course, l found the beasts
of the warriors who quartered in the
adjacent buildings, and the warriors
themselves | might expect to meet
within if I entered; but, fortunately
for me, had another and safer meth
cd of reaching the upper story where
Dejah Thoris should be found, and,
after first determining as nearly as
possible which of the buildings she oc-
cupied, for l had never observed them
before from the court side, l took adj
vantage of my relatively great
strength and agility and sprang up
ward until / grasped the sill of a sec
ond-story window which | thought to
be in the rear Of her apartment. Draw
ing myself inside the room l moved

that | took this precaution. for the
conversation | heard was in the low
gutturals of men. and the words which
finally came to me proved most time
ly warning. The speaker was chief
tain and he was giving orders to four
of his warriors.
"And when he returns to this cham

STATE ENGINEER
EWING RESIGNS
WILL BE SUCCEEDED BY VIII.
LIAM OSBORNE-PROBABLY
GET MORE IMPORTANT POST
(Kooskia Mountaineer)


Advices from Lewiston are to the
effect that H. l.. Ewing, district en-
gineer for the Clearwater valley
has resigned and will be succeeded
by William Osborne. Mr. Ewing
has been connected with practically
all the highway work In central
Idaho since the state has undertaken
the state road program, and his
knowledge of this territory and its
peculiar formation from road
building standpoint made him i'm
mensely valuable to the department
The loss of the services of Mr..
Ewing will be keenly felt by the
various highway districts. Mr.. Os-
borne, the newly appointed engineer
conmes highly recommended, he hav-
ing teen district engineer in the
service of the state with headquar-
lters at Mackey. In addition to Mr.
Osborne the territory having Lew
iston as its headquarters will have
the valued services of &C. Van Ars-
| dale who Is well known locally a.
one of the best engineers in the
state.
The resignation of Mr.. Ewing IL
effective April first at which time
the newly appointed engineer will
assume charge of the office. The
reason for the resignation is no.
known but it is surmised that Mr.
Ewing has been called to a more
important post in the highway wori
of the state under the reorganization
plan now being effected in the high
way department.
