CHAPTER ~.
A Fight That Won Friends.

Sofa stared into the brute's wicked
looking eyes, muttered a word or two
of command, pointed to me, and left
the chamber. The beast. after survey
ing me intently for a moment, crossed
the room 10 the only exit which led to
the street and lay down full length
across the threshold.
This was my first experience with a
Marian watch dog, but It was destined

food consisted Of about a pound OF
some solid substance OF the consist

while the liquid was apparently milk

with smooth, glossy hide. Her name

she belonged to the retinue of Tars
cious chamber In one of the buildings
fronting on the plaza, and which, from
the litter OF silks and furs upon the
floor, I took to be the sleeping quar-
ters OF several of the natives.
Sofa motiOned me TO be seated upon
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 | obtained my
first sight Of new Marian wonder.
II 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
It's head bore slight resemblance to
that of frog, except that the jaws
were equipped with three rows of
long, sharp tusks.

plnioned to the GROUND with one huge
foot, while II jabbered and gesticu-
lated Mt some answering creature be-
hind me. This other, which was evil
IDENTITY It's 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 q shrek of fear the ape which
held me ieaped through the open win
dow, but Its mate closed In terrific
death struggle with my preserver,
which was nothing less than my faith
full watch-thing; cannot bring myself
TO call so hideous a creature q dog.
AS quickly as possible I gained my
feet and backing against the wall
witnessed such battle as IL is vouch-
safed few beings TO see. My beast
had an advantage In his first hold,
having sunk his mighty fangs far into
the breast of his adversary; but the
great arms and paws OF the ape, back
ell by muscles far transcending those
of the Marian men I had seen, had
locked the throat Of my guardian and
slowly were choking out his life, and
bending back his head and neck upon
his body, where l momentarily ex-
pected the former to fall limp at the
end of a broken neck.
Back and forth upon the floor they
rolled, neither one emitting a sound
Of fear or pain. Presently I saw the
great eyes Of my beast bullying COM
pletely from their sockets and blood
flowing from It's nostrils. That he
was weakening perceptibly was evil
dent, but 30 also was the ape. whose
struggles were growing momentarily
less.
Suddenly came to myself and, with
that strange instinct which seems ever
to prompt me to my duty, seized the
cudgel, which had fallen TO the floor
at the commencement Of the battle,
and swinging II with all the power OF
my earthly arms crashed II full upon
the head Of the ape, crushing his skull
as though II had been an egg shell.
Scarcely had the blow descended
when was confronted with a new
danger. The apes mate, recovered
from Its first shock of terror, had re.

LIMITING CHANGES
IN BURIAL PLANS
Arrangements for Hero Dead
Reach Point Which Makes
Fixing Date Necessary.

Secretary Weeks has announced that
arrangements for the return Of SOL
dier dead from Europe have reached a
point which makes it necessary to
fix date. after which they cannot be
changed with respect to individual
cases. In many cases relatives have
Cancelled their applications for the re-
turn of bodies, and in other cases con-
troversies have arisen among rela-
tives as to the final disposition of
bodies. as to whether thy remain
abroad or be brought home August
l6 has been fixed by the department
as the limit of time in which requests
for changes in instructions alsS'dy
given may be favorably consider -.
After that date no orders for the Ie
turn of bodies will be cancelled.
Official figures show that 75,88s
American patriots lost their lives In
Europe during and since the world
war, OF that number 30.242 bodies
have been brought to the United
States for burial at the request of the
next of kin. About 10000 more bodies
whose return has been requested are
in various stages of preparation for
shipment home. With the expected
completion Of the work of returning
these bodies to the United States
within the next few months, the
graves registration service will turn
its attention to the concentration of
the bodies of the hero dead which
are to remain in the foreign ceme-

Wooden ships are as passe in New

the Shipping Board cannot do any
business by way of selling his
wooden ships in that arid country,
according to a letter from the
Albuquerque Chamber Of Commerce.
which amused officials in Washing
ton today. The letter is in reply
to a circular advertising the sale
of wooden ships by the Shipping
board.
1t follows. in part: Your letter
and circular came to US relative to
the sale of wooden ships. While
you have US at sea in this matter,

a piece of jewelry and still was a
working model of the safety first
slogan. our forefathers crossed the
country and came to New Mexico
In ships called prairie schooners.
AS there were no bridges these
ships had to ford the silvery Rio

AS result of hearings before the
House District committee on legis-
lation providing for the examination
of persons brought before the Juvenile
Court, Representative Underhill of
Massachusetts today introduced a re-
drafted bill accompanied by a favor
able report from the committee. The
new bill. embodying changes suggest
ed during the hearing, provides for
the appointment by the judge of the
Juvenile Court of male physician. at
salary of $1,000 year, who has
had special training as pSychiatrlSt in
the diagnosis of insanity and mental

court of a female physician at salary
of $1,000, who shall devote part time
to such work for the purpose of Qon-
ducting a clinic under the supervision
of the judge.
The report says that the necessity
for this law was fully outlined in the
hearings before the committee. Chief
Justice Mccoy Of the Supreme Court
of the District and others. including
a representative of the United States
public health service. appeared before
the committee and urged favorable
action on this measure.
Obliged to Close Clinic.
Up to April l. 1921. an experiment
tai clinic for the psychiatric study OF
delinquents was maintained in the
Juvenile Court by the United States
public health service, at the request
Of the judge of the court. Owing to
the large amount of work that had
been assigned to the public health
service by Congress. mainly the care
of disabled soldiers, the surgeon gen.
eral was obliged to close the clinic.
A detailed report was filed during
the hearing showing that between
February 8, 1920. and April /. 1921.
approximately 1924 children were eX-
amined. The committees attention
was particularly invited to the large
percentage of children afflicted with
social diseases.
A somewhat similar bill to that OF
Representative Underhills was intro
duced in the Senate Monday by Sena-
tor Ball.

sions. He also urged committee
tioning.
The chemical schedule was up. and
several witnesses appeared on par
ticular rates and there was some dis
cussion of the proposed three-year
embargo, killed by the House.
Hearings Are Suspended.
Chairman Penrose of the Senate
finance committee has announced that
hearings on the tariff bill will be sus-
pended after Monday until it is deter
mined by the committee whether to re-
tain or strike out the American valua-
tion clause.
At yesterdays meeting the committee
evinced desire to have the hearings
show more facts and fewer generalities.
The first move to have the hearing
record show only facts was made by
Senator Reed, democrat, of Missouri.
He urged that testimony of a. G. Rosen-
carton. a Philadelphia chemical manu-
facturer. be omitted after the witness
had declined to give the committee in
formation concerning his FIRMS produc-
ton costs, taxes. earnings. dividends
and other details which Mr.. Reed de-
clared was necessary to show whether
tariff protection was required. No ac-
ton was taken on Senator Reeds re-
quest.

The offer of Herbert Hoover. as

also that proper administrative con-
