to capture them as they leave the In
cubator. W
BY careful selection the Martians
rear only the hardest specimens of
each species, and with almost super
natural foresight they regulate the
birth rate to merely offset the loss by
death. Each adult Marian female
brings forth about thirteen eggs each
year, and those which meet the size,
weight and specific gravity tests are
hidden in the recesses of some subter-
ranean vault where the temperature
is too low for incubation. Every year
these eggs are carefully examined by
council Of twenty chieftains, and all
but about one hundred of the most
perfect are destroyed out of each
yearly supply. At the end of five
years about five hundred almost per-
feet eggs have been chosen from the
thousands brought forth. These are
then placed in the almost alright in
cubators to be Matched by the suns
rays after period of another five
years.
The incubators are built in remote
Businesses, where there is little or no
likelihood of their being discovered
by other tribes. The result of such a
catastrophe would mean no children

of the first volley, which caught the
ships crews entirely unprepared and

warriors. m
Twenty minutes after the first vol
ley the great fleet swung trailing off
In the direction from which 1t had
first appeared. Several of the craft
were limping perceptibly, and seemed
but barely under the control of their
depleted crews. Their fire had ceased
entirely and all their energies seemed
focused upon escape. Our warriors
then rushed up to the roofs of the
buildings which we occupied and fol-

an erratic and pitiful manner. In
stantly the warriors ceased firing. for
it was quite apparent that the vessel
was entirely helpless, and. far from
being in position to infiict harm
upon us, she could not even control
herself sufficiently to escape.
AS she neared the city the warriors
rushed out upon the plain to meet her,
but 1t was evident that she still was
too high for them to hope to reach her
decks.
She was drifting some fifty feet
above the ground, followed by all but
some hundred of the warriors who
had been ordered hack to the roofs
to cover the possibility of return of
the fleet. or for re-enforcements.
AS the craft neared the building,
and just before she struck, the Mar

the windows, and with their great
spears eased the shock of the COLI

thrown out graphing hooks and the

Evidently his mission was to pro-

sometimes do as did Alice and her
friend Fred. They had been singing,
and Alice searched through the music
till she found a song entitled, II am
in love with you" Handing 1t to Fred
she said do you know it?" Fred
looked stunned, and ignoring the song
she held out to him, he said, mo.

to hear you say So" And shortly
Alice was wearing an engagement
ring. But sometimes it works the
other way. A young man was taking
a girl home on a beautiful moonlight

she replied Because so long as you
are single there is hope" But alas
he took her home and left her there
and never saw her again!
