As the great gate where stood
swung open my fifty Tharks. headed
by Tars Tarkas himself, rode in upon
their mighty thoats. I led them to
the palace walls, which I negotiated
easily without assistance. Once In
aide. 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 illumlnat-
ed audience chamber Of Than Kosis.
The immense hail was crowded with
mobiles and their women. as though some
important function was in progress. At
one end OF the chamber, upon massive
golden thrones encrusted with dia-
monds, sat Than Bosis and his con-
sort, surrounded by officers and dignl-
taries Of state. Before them stretched
broad aisle lined on either side with
soldisfy, ana a. ! looked there entered

window and sprang into the midst of
the astonished assemblage. With a
bound was on the steps Of the plat

stood riveted with surprise, brought
my longsword down upon the golden
chain that would have bound Dejah
Thoris to another.
In an instant all was confusion; a
thousand drawn swords menaced me
from every quarter, and Sab Than

All eyes turned in the direction i

warriors on their great thoats.
A cry of alarm and amazement
broke from the assemblage, but no
word of fear. and in moment the
soldiers and mobiles of Zodanga were
hurling themselves upon the advancing

steps to aid his father, but as he raised
his hand to strike, Dejah Thoris
sprang before him and then my sword

maintain u discreet silence as to the
case of Louis FCustCl, trainer and de-

sensation the American turf has over
known. The Jockey Club admitted yes
tcrday that Fcustcl had attended star

absolutely refused to divulge anything
that had taken place.
Fcustcl's application for renewal Of
his trainers license was laid on the
table at tho last regular meeting of the
stewards Of the Jockey Club. This fact
was announced publicly. though there
appeared no good reason why the incl
dent should have been published broad
east unless the powers had cause for
complaint against thc trainer. The i'm

and all sorts Of gossip and rumors as

Batting Order Changed
The original batting order handed to
the umpire yesterday was changed.
Galloway and Griffin had been batting
first aud second, respectively. and when
Mnck brnChCd Galloway he also dropped
Griffin TO eighth place.
Jimmy Dykes is the new lead off man
and he was the biggest kind of success
in this role. Jimmy stepped to the plate
five times and hit two singles and II
double and received pass. That's the
kind of II lead off man Mack wants.
Catcher Ralph Perkins is too valu-
able with the stick to be placed down
at tho tail Of batting order, 50 he is
the now batsman for place No. ..
Mnck's quick response to the losing
streak has been to change two inhcld

may change a place in the outfrld.

the ball with regularity.
