CHAPTER XVII.
From Joy TO Death.

For ten days the hordes of Thark
and their wild allies were Toasted and
entertained, and. then, loaded with
costly presents and escorted by ten
thousand soldiers Of Hellum command
ed by Mors Kajak, they started on
the return journey to their own lands.
The Jed Of Lesser Helium with a small
party Of mobiles accompanied them all
the way to Thark to cement more
closely the new bonds Of peace and
friendship.
Sofa also accompanied Tars Tarkas.
her father who before all his chief
tains had acknowledged her as his
daughter,
Three weeks later Mors Kajak and
his officers accompanied by Tars Tar
kas and Sofa, returned upon battle
ship that had been dispatched TO Thark
to fetch them In time for the ceremony
which made Dejah Thorls and John
Carter one.
For nine years I served In the coun-
ellis and fought In the armies Of Helium
as prince OF the house OF Tardos
Mors. The people seemed never TO
tire OF heaping honors upon me, and
no day passed that did not bring some
new proof OF their love for their prin-
cess, the Incompatible Dejah ThOris.
In golden incubator upon the roof
Of our palace lay snow-white egg.
For nearly Ave years ten soldiers OF
the jeddak's Guard had constantly
stood over II. and not day passed
when was In the city that Dejah
Thoris and I did not stand hand In
hand before our little shrine planning
for the future. when the delicate shell
should break.
Vivid In my memory Ia the picture
OF the last night as we sat there talk
Ing In low tones OF the strange ro-
nance which had woven our lives to-
gether and OF this wonder which was
coming to augment our happiness and
fulfill our hopes.
In the distance we saw the bright
white light Of an approaching airship.
but we attached no special significance
TO so common a sight. Like bolt Of
lightning II raced toward Helium until
lts very speed bespoke the unusual.
Flashing the signals which pro
claimed II a dispatch bearer for the

mage ceased. the prisoners we're
marched back TO Helium, and we en-
tered the greater city's gates, n huge
triumphai procession of conquering
heroes.
Tie broad avenues were tined with
women and children, among which
were tho few men whose duties beces-
STATED that they remain within the
city during the battle. We were greet
ed with an endless round Of applause
and showered with ornaments Of gold.
platinum, silver and precious jewels.
The city had gone mad with Joy.
My fierce Thanks caused the widest
excitement and enthusiasm. Never be-
fore had an armed body Of green war
riors entered the gates OF Helium, and
that they came now as friends and al
lies filled the red men with rejoicing.
That my poor services to Dejah Tho
ris had become known to the Heiium-
ties was evidenced by the loud crying
Of my name, and by the loads of orna-
ments that were fastened upon me and
my huge thoat a. we passed up the
avenues to the palace, for even In the
face Of the ferocious appearance Of
Woola the populace pressed close
about me.
At the top Of the great steps lead
ing up to the main portals Of the pal
ace stood the royal party. and as we
reached the lower steps one Of their
number descended to meet US. He was

perbly muscled and with the carriage
and bearing Of ruler OF men. I did
not need to be told that he was Tardos
Mors. jeddak OF Hellum.
The first member Of our party he
met was Tars Tarkas and his FIRST
words sealed forever the new friend
ship between the races.
'That Tardos Mors." he said. earn
estly, may meet the greatest living
warrior Of Barsoom is priceless
honor. but that he may lay his hand
on the shoulder of friend and ally
is q far greater boom"
"Jeddak Of Helium," returned Tars
Tarkas "it has remained for man of
another world to teach the green war
riors OF Barsoom the meaning OF
friendship; to him we owe the fact
that the hordes of Thark can under
stand you; that they can appreciate
and reciprocate the sentiments so
graciously expressed"
Tardos Mors then greeted each Of
the green jeddaks and jeds, and to
each spoke words of friendship and
appreciation.
Az he approached me he laid both
hands upon my shoulders.
welcome, my son." he said; 'that
you are granted, gladly, and without
one word of opposition. the most
precious Jewel In all Helium, yes, In
all Barsoom, is sufficient earnest Of
my esteem"
We were then presented to Mors
| KAYAK, Jed Of lesser Helium, and ia
Their of Dejah Thoris. He had followed
close behind Tardos Mors and seemed
even more affected by the meeting
than had his father.
He tried dozen times to express
his gratitude to me. but his voice
choked with emotion and he could not
speak. and yet he had. as was to
later learn, a reputation for ferocity
and fearlessness as fighter that was
remarkable even upon wariike Bar
SOON. In common with all Helium he
worshiped his daughter. nor could he
think Of what she had escaped with
out deep emotion.

Five hours later we sailed from the

green warriors. followed by a feet Of

In the middle OF the afternoon we
sighted the scarlet and yellow towers
Of Helium, and short time later a
great fleet OF Zodangan battieships
rose from the camps Of the besiegers
without the city and advanced to meet

The banners OF Helium had been
strung from stem to stern OF each OF
