The major-domo to whom ! reported
had been given instructions to station
me near the person Of the jeddak, who,
in time Of war, is always in great
danger of assassination, as the rule

He therefore escorted me immedi-
ately to the apartment in which Than

The walls Of the apartment were

He seemed to understand me fully,
and when I pointed back in the d.
rection of Thark he turned sorrow
fully away, nor could bear to watch
him go; but resolutely set my face
toward Zodanga and with touch OF
heartsickness approached her frown-
ing walls.
The letter bore gained me imme-
date entrance to the vast, walled city.
The Ptor brothers had given me ex-
plicit directions for reaching the point
Of the city where I could find living
accommodations and be near the offices
Of the government agents to whom
they had given me letters. My way
led to the central square or plaza,
which is a Characteristic Of all Mar
tian cities.
As / was crossing the great square
lost in wonder and admiration OF the
magnificent architecture and the gor-
geous scarlet vegetation which carpet
ed the broad lawns discovered a red
Marian walking briskly toward me
from one of the avenues. He paid
not the slightest attention to me. but
as he came abreast l recognized him,
and turning I placed my hand upon
his shoulder, calling out.
"Kaor, Kantos Kan!"
Like lightning he wheeled and be-
fore I could so much as lower my
hand the point OF his lo3ssword was
at my breast.
"Who are your" he growled. and
then as a backward leap carried me
fifty feet from his sword he dropped
the point to the ground and exclaimed
laughing, II do not need better

Barsoom who can bounce about like

and the floor, too, SO that their feet
didn't dangle down.
The huge creature spoke to the

of the roof seemed to be removed
quite easily. He evidently had stan

now above them and they saw that
they were sitting in .one OF the up

had seen downstairs except their COM

boy, who had suddenly thought the

very much cramped.

said the huge creature. "Just seeT
The boy and the girl looked under
the table and they saw that there was
an opening through the floor left for
him, and that his long legs had all
the room they wanted.
II have SO much to explain" said
the huge creature. "In the first place,
boy and girl, do eat your soup. You
can listen as You do So"
They began to eat their soup which
had grown from little bit of soup in
a very small cup to a goOdsdeal of
soup in soup dish.

litely.

.ure. Now. to go on with my story,

hundred acre ranch southeast Of Wade.

and raise good stock. They have a

they fatten lots of hogs every summer.
