Advancement OF Books.

Stories are told of people who buy
shelves of books in blue, green or red
bindings to match the color scheme
that they plan for their libraries or
living rooms. They altogether disre-
gard the subjects of the books. OF
course none Of us have been guilty of
doing this, so we have books of many
colored bindings on our shelves. IL
II doesn't interfere too much with the
arrangement Of subjects. why not
place them somewhat according 10
colors which blend? In this way book
cases may be made real objects OF
decoration. If those with lighter col.
ored bindings are placed nearer the
top and the darker ones toward the
lower part Of the case, IL helps the
case retain its balance.

RECALLS OLD SIX-DAY RACES
Death Of "Lepper" Hughes Brings Back
Period of Sports That Once
Held Full Sway.

The death a few days ago of
"Leppcr" Hughes, one of the old guard
Of the siXd day go-as-you-please races
which were conducted annually In the
old Madison Square garden, recalls
period when that portion of the metro
politan public which hates to go to
bed before daylight pursued one of Its
fads to the limit, remarks the New
York Herald
These siN-dny Erinds drew great
crowds. Many persons virtually
lived the entire week I'm the foul at
mosphere Of the dingy old building
and watched the men as they walked
or trOtted their way wearily round
and round the area. Prize money was
big and the contests had an interna-
tional flavor, the English champion,
Charlie Rowcll. being a participant on
ner of one competition important from
a prize money viewpoint.
'Lepper" Hughes and Paddy Fitz-
gerald of Long Island City were in
variahly on hand when these sO-calIed
endurance tests were decided, and each
had Il devoted following. Both were
tall and slim In build. while ROwell
was stoclly, and had short, quick
stride which rolled the miles behind
him in a way which made 1t difficult
for his competitors To keep near him.
England has long been famous for the
quality of her distance runners, and
Rowell was one of her very best.

SYNOPSIS.

FORBWORD.-The author tells of his
acquaintance with the hero of one of the
most remarkable adventures ever record
ed. From manuscript left by his friend
he has wildly set out the strange hap
pennings which brought together a brave
Virginia gentleman and a Princess Of
Mars.
My fair companion was about eight
feet tall, having just arrived at ma
turity, but not yet to her full height
She was of a light olive-green color.
with smooth, glossy hide. Her name,
as afterward learned, was Sofa, and
she belonged TO the ret1nue Of Tars
Tarkas. She conducted me to a spa
cious chamber In one Of the buildings
fronting on the plaza, and which, from
the litter of silks and furs upon the
floor, took to be the sleeping quar-
ters of several of the natives.
Sofa motioned me to be seated upon
a pile Of silks near the center Of the
room, and, turning, made a peculiar
kissing sound, as though signaling to
some one in an adjoining room. In
response to her call I obtained my
first sight of a new Marian wonder.
1t waddled In on its ten short legs,
and squatted down before the girl like
an obedient puppy. The thing was
about the size of Shetland pony, but
its head bore a slight resemblance to
that of a frog, except that the jaws
were equipped with three rows of
long, sharp tuskS.

1.-THE Thing, Which More Nearly Re-
sembIed Our Earthly Men Than II
Did the Martians ! Had Seen, Held
Me Pinioned to the Ground With a
Huge Foot"
the Martians I had seen, held me
pinioned to the ground with one huge
foot, while 1t jabbered and gesticu-
lated at some answering creature be-
hind me- This other, which was evil
IDENTIFY its mate, soon came toward US,
bearing a mighty stone cudgel with
which II evidently intended to brain
me.
The creatures were about ten or
fifteen feet tall standing erect, and
had. like the green Martians, an inter-
mediary set of arms or legs, midway
between their upper and lower limbs.
Their eyes were close together and
non-protruding their ears were high
set, but more literally located than
those of the Martians, while their
shouts and teeth were strikingly like
those of our African gorilla.
The cudgel was swinging in the arc
which ended upon my upturned face
when a bolt of myriad-legged horror
hurled itself through the doorway full
upon the breast Of my executioner.
With a Shrek of fear the ape which
held me leaped through the open win
dow, but its mate closed in a terrific
death struggle with my preserver,
which was nothing less than my faith
full watch-thing; cannot bring myself
to call so hideous creature a dog.
AS quickly as possible l gained my
feet and backing against the wall

had an advantage in his first hold,
having sunk his mighty fangs far into
the breast of his adverSarya but the
great arms and paws of the ape, back

of the Marian men I had seen, had
locked the throat of my guardian and
