ing their terrible harvest around her,
did Dejah Thoris. princess of Helium,
true daughter of Mars, the god of war,
promise herself in marriage to John
Carter, Gentleman of Virginia.
Some time later Tars Tarkas and
Kantos Kan returned to report that
Zodanga had been completely reduced.
Her forces were entirely destroyed or
captured, and no further resistance
was to be expected from within. Sew
eral battleships had escaped, but there
were thousands of war and merchant
vessels under guard of Thark war
riors.
The lesser hordes had commenced
looting and quarreling among them
selves, SO 1t was decided that we col
lect what warriors we could, man as
many vessels as possible with Zodan-
gan prisoners and make for Helium
without further loss of time.
Five hours later we sailed from the
roofs of the dock buildings with fleet
of two hundred and fifty battleships,
carrying nearly one hundred thousand
green warriors, followed by fleet Of
transports with our thoats.
In the middle of the afternoon we
sighted the scarlet and yellow towers
of Helium, and a short time later a
great fleet Of Zodangan battleships
rose from the camps of the besiegers
without the city and advanced to meet
us.
The banners of Helium had been
strung from stem to stern of each of
our mighty craft, but the Zodangans
did not need this sign to realize that
we were enemies, for our green Mar
tan warriors had opened fire upon
them almost as they left the ground.
With their uncanny craftsmanship
they raked the oncoming fleet with vol
ley after volley.
The twin cities of Helium, perceiv-
ing that we were friends, sent out hun
dreds of vessels to aid us, and then
began the first real air battle had
ever witnessed.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Lootina of zodanaa.

AS the great gate where I stood
swung open my fifty Thanks, headed
by Tars Tarkas himself, rode in upon
their mighty thoats. / led them to
the palace walls, which I negotiated
easily without assistance. Once In
side, however, the gate gave me con-
siderable trouble, but finally was re-
warded by seeing it swing upon its
huge hinges, and soon my fierce es-
cort was riding across the gardens of
the jeddak Of Zodanga.
AS we approached the palace could
see through the great windows Of the
first floor into the brilliantly illuminate
ed audience chamber Of Than Kosis.
The immense hall was crowded with
mobiles and their women, as though some
important function was in progress. Al
one end Of the chamber, upon massive
golden thrones encrusted with dia-
monds, sat Than Kosis and his con-
sort, surrounded by officers and digni-
taries of state. Before them stretched
a broad aisle lined on either side with
soldiery, and as looked there entered
this aisle at the far end of the hall, the
head Of procession which advanced
to the foot of the throne.
First there marched four officers Of
the jeddak's guard bearing huge sal
var on which reposed, upon a cushion
of scarlet silk. great golden chair
with collar and paddock at each end
Then came more dignitaries, and the
officers of the palace and of the army
and finally two figures entirely muf
fled in scarlet silk, SO that not fea
ture Of either was discernible. These
| two stopped at the foot of the throne
facing Than Kosis. When the balance
Of the procession had entered and as
sumed their stations Than Kosis ad
dressed the couple standing before
him. I could not hear his words, but
presently two officers advanced an6
removed the scarlet robe from one OF
the figures. I saw that Kantos Kan

Sab Than, prince of Zodanga, who
stood revealed before me.
Than Kosis now took a set Of the
ornaments from one Of the salvers and
placed one Of the collars Of gold about
his sons neck, springing the padloci
fast. After a few more words ad
dressed to San Than he turned to the
other figure, from which the officers

After / ceased there was tense 81

Tai Hajus. He did not speak or move,

"Chieftains." continued Lorquas
Ptomel, "shall the jeddak, Tai Hiatus,
prove his fitness to rule over Tars Tar

There were twenty chieftains about
the rostrum, and twenty swords
flashed high in assent.
There was no alternative That de-
cree was final, and so Tai Hiatus drew
bis longsword and advanced to meet

The combat was soon over, and, with

In planning the children's department of

has been made for mothers rooms. A
mother whose baby needs hospital treatment
may stay with the child and even help care
for it, This arrangement is particularly con-
venient in cases where laboratory diagnosis
is necessary With its spendidly equipped
laboratories every sort of examination can
be made right in this one hospital and the
mother may remain with her child until the

Babies are queer little things. They don't
