tails and no butterflies! It would never do at all.
 But 1t is fine to be striped and to look an interesting animal.
 Gracious, goodness, mercy me, we don't want to let people think that the Tiger Swallowtail is the only butter fly with a fine animal name.
 And we don't want people to think that the Tiger SwallOwtail is the only creature with markings like an animal.
 One thing is pleasant though to think about. And that is that no one can mistake us for any other kind of butterfly. Once they know a zebra butterfly, 1t IS easy to know one the next time.
 we are certainly clearly marked, and that is the way we like to be. We don't care for quiet, dull shades of wing dress. We care for bright and distinct costumes.
 And distinct means what one can see clearly.
 "Yes, every time one sees a Zebra Butterfly and knows that there is such a butterfly as a Zebra Butterfly one knows a Zebra Butterfly the next tune one sees a Zebra Butterfly.
 And MT. Tiger Swallowtail mustn't think he Is the only creature with a name like an animal. I don't believe he does really think so, but he mustn't be the only one allowed to tell his story for I want to tell the story of the Zebra Butterfly who looks like the Zebra.
 We have scent organs with which to protect ourselves when we are younger than we are now.
 "These scent organs give forth scent which Is not pleasant. So MT. Skunk needn't feel that he is the only creature with that kind of way of protecting himself. The caterpillars have this way too, yes, indeed, most of them have!
 'We each look like the ground and the surrounding country in color when we are in our chrysalis state as we want to be safe then, too.
 You see we're pretty wise as well as so fine as to our family name.
 "Yes, the Zebra Butterfly is pretty wise butterfly and knows quite a lot about getting on in the world
 But I must be off now or I'll be late for a party to which l am in vited"

CHAPTER XIV.
1 Find Dejah.

The major-domo to whom reported me near the person of the jeddak, who, in time of war, is always in great danger of assassination, as the rule that all is fair in war seems to con stitute the entire ethics of Martian conflict.
 He therefore escorted me immedi- ately to the apartment in which Than KOSiS then was. The ruler was en- gagged in conversation with his son, Sab Than, and several cOurtiers of his household, and did not perceive my entrance.
 The walls of the apartment were completely hung with splendid tapes tries. My guide drew aside one of the tapestries, disclosing a passage which encircled the room, between the hangings and the walls of the cham Der. Within this passage I was to remain, he said, so long as Than kOsis was in the apartment. When he left 1 was to follow. My only duty was to guard the ruler and keep out of sight as much as possible. 1 would be relieved after period of four hours. The majordomO then left me Scarcely had I gained my post than the tapestry at the opposite end of the chamber separated and four sol diers of the Guard entered, surround Ing a female figure. AS they approach ed Than Kosis the soldiers fell to either side and there standing before the jeddak and not ten feet from me, her beautiful face radiant with smiles, was Dejah Thoris.
 Sab Than, prince of Zodanga, ad- vanced to meet her, and hand in hand they approached close to the jeddak Than Kosis looked up in surprise, and rising saluted her.
 '"To what strange freak do I owe this visit from the princess of Heli- um, who, two days ago, with rare consideration for my pride. assured me that she would prefer Tal Haius the green Thark, to my son?"
 Dejah Thoris only smiled the nor and with the roguish dimpies playing

ZEBRA SWALLOWTAlL.

"1 heard that MT. Tiger SwallOwtai was bOasting the other day." said Mir. Zebra Swallowtail, "or if he wasn't boasting he was telling some of the habits of the family.
 I'd like to do that, too. I'd like to show that I was like a fine animal and that I had an interesting family name and a still more interesting fam fly look.
 We really do look like zebras. Yes, we really do. Of course, most people know that ZebraS are something like horses and that they have black and white stripes and long flowing tails.
 "The ZebraS look like that, not the horses. The zebras are simply like the horses in general shape, though they are much smaller than horses.
 Now of course we don't look like horses at all. Not at all.
 But we do look something like zebras, just as MT. Tiger Swallowtail looks like a tiger in his markings.
 We have green and black stripes and long, long tails. Of course we haven't tails such as animals have, but, if you take look at us you'll see the kinds of tails we have, and that they're tails all right, even if they don't look like the tails of animals.
 And why should they look like the the tails of animals? We aren't ami mals and so there is no reason why we should have tails as they have.
 But still I did say that we had tails something like the tail of a zebra as far as ha ?ing a good long tail was concerned.
 Of course, our tails amount to nOth ing when compared to theirs, but we couldn't go along through life with tails the length of zebras' tails.
 "There would be no butterfly left but we'd simply be all tails if we did any thing like that.
 And that would never do. It would most certainly never do to have all

the troops, and calling the name of soldier commanded him to advance. The officer then recited the nature of the heroic act which had woh the approval of the jeddak, and the lat ter advanced and placed a metal or nament upon the left arm of the lucky man.
 Ten men had been so decorated when the aid called out,
 John Garter, air scout!"
 Never in my life had I been so sur prised, but the habit of military dis cipline is strong within me, and I dropped my little machine lightly to the ground and advanced on foot as I had seen the others do. As I halted before the officer, he addressed me in a voice audible to the entire as semblage of troops and spectators.
 ''In recognition, John Carter" he said, "of your remarkable courage and skill in defending the person of the cousin of the jeddak Than Kosis and. single-handed, vanquishing three green warriors, it is the pleasure of our jed dak to confer on you the mark of his esteem"
 Than Kosis then advanced toward me and placing an ornament upon me, said:
 My cousin has narrated the details of your wonderful achievement, which seems little short of miracu lous, and if you can so well defend a cousin of the jeddak how much better could you defend the person of the jeddak himself You are therefore ap- pointed a padwar of the Guard and will be quartered in my palace here after"
 I thanked him, and with an order ly from the palace to guide me 1 re- ported to the officer in charge of the palace.

The delegates also seem to look with ap- prehension upon possible disruptive pro- cesses within the trades union move. ment.
 There were 950 delegates present, rep- resenting 6.OOO,OOO workers. Une,nploy ment was the keynote of the presidential address of E. L. Poulton of the Boot and Shoe Operatives Union, who de- manded industrial and political action to bring into existence "a land fit for heroes to live in"
 He described as disgracefu1 spectacle the millions of unemployed people while the worlds crying need was for more goods to supply only the bare necessities of life

COAL BARONS STIR
 UP DISCONTENT IN
 BUY-NOW CAMPAIGN
Illinois Operators Trying to Brighten Laggard Purchasers With
 Threat of Strike.

Washington Sept 9. - Profteering coal operators are trying to frighten the public into buying coal at high prices by holding out a threat of prolonged strike next spring.
 The publicity methods employed last year to establish fear of panic having been effectively exposed by Labor and other agencies, the purchasing public this year has simply ignored cut and dried alarmist statements. In consequence the coal industry has languished. Prices con- tinue at war levels but the operators are unable to dispose of their product.
 This situation doubtless prompted Dr. F. (. Honnold, press agent for the H. linois Coal Operators Association, to try new scheme, He has informed the Illinois Manufacturers Association that an effort will be, made next spring to force reduction of wages on miners and that they are expected to strike. He continues:
 ."The period of market demand for storage promises, therefore, to be con- fined to the three months period, Janu- ary to March, 1922. when sufficient coal must be mined and sent forward to meet the fuel requirements of the west coun- try for not only current use, but for such time as the mines may be idle on account of strike
 Under these circumstances, and with no likelihood of either coal price or feight rate reduction between now and the time the mines seem certain to be thrown idle, the wise manager of an in dustrial plant that expects any fuel re- quirements during the next twelve months period will get immediately and keep constantly on hand minimum 90 days storage supply of fuel"

Minimum Wage
 Scale In Russia
Payments in Form of Commodities
 to Be Abolished.

Riga, Sept 9.-Establishment of a minimum wage scale under which work men are to be paid sufficient money to enable them to buy necessary food sup plies has been decided upon by the Rus sion soviet government The present system of payment of bonuses in the form of commodities is to be abolished.
 Wages are to be divided into seven teen categories, ranging from minimum of 227,5 800 rubies monthly to a maxi mum of 682, 500, which sums are figured as approximately equal to $7 and $21, respectively. A pound of bread now costs 1000 rubies, or 7 cents:

in the above, as his income from the Duchy of Cornwall, 87,00O pounds in 1910, was then regarded as sufficient. It may be reasonably assumed that the sum has increased appreciably during the last decade.
 This fortunate youth lives rent free and is provided with travelling expenses from time to time from the public purse His recent trip to India for example, is estimated to cost the taxpayer 25OOO pounds. In the event of his marrying his wife will come on to the public purse to the extent of 10000 pounds per an- mum, and the sum automatically jumps to 3000O pounds should he leave her a widow.

HIGH LIVING COST
 PINCHES ROYALTY:
 ASKS HIGHER PAY"
Alleged Fall of Prices Urged as Justifying Wage Cuts Refuted
 by Kings Plaint.

London, Sept 9-King George and the royal family are pressed hard by the high cost of living, say their regal spon- sors, notwithstanding the regular annui- ties granted by the government. The House of Commons has just passed a bill which gives the king permission to realize capital on his holdings in the Duchy of Lancaster. The announcement that 100000 pounds ($5O0,OOO) of the capital of the Duchy of Lanca ster is to be realized because the kings income IS inadequate has aroused considerable in- terest in British labor circles.
 For the past few months the attack on the wages of the workers of this country has progressed steadily and in- exorably. The excuse, of course, has been the alleged fall in the cost of liv ing-a fall which has been more appar- ent to those who pay wages than to those who work for them.
 It is little surprising, therefore, to be told that while the working man can now live comfortably on less money than formerly, the cause for the wage cut vanishes when 1t comes to dealing with the other end of the social scale. For some extraordinary reason the economic law which is cited when it is desired to cut down the pay of a humble railway man does not operate in the case of highly paid royalty.
 Instead we are told that the cost of living in the latter case has actually gone up of late, and we are, asked to rejoice over the public-spirited action of the king in not asking parliament for more.
 One is thankful for small mercies. of course, but in these hard times the man in the street may be forgiven for 1nedi- tating on the amount of public money expended on the upkeep of one fortu- nate family. The income of King George, on which we are told there is deficit of over 45,000 pounds, is toler- ably large.
 Under the civil list act of 1910 he re- caiuac the fn11nuuirn c111nc a1nn11a11u.

ceives 45,OO0 pounds from the revenues of the Duchy of Lancaster. He pays in come tax on the privy purse. From which it will be seen that the king draws no less than 9,877 pounds a week. This is euivalent to $49,385 in United States money, or a salary of $2,568,02O per annun.
 Besides what King George receives from the public purse, the nation has to find the following amounts annually for the sovereign's realtives:
