Dejah Thoris and She sat gazing long
ingly upon the unknown little life that
now she would never know.
AS it was becoming perceptbly diff
ficult to breathe Tardos Mors arose,
saying:
Let us bid each other farewell. The
days of the greatness of Barsoom are
over. Tomorrow's sun will look down
upon a dead world which through all
eternity must go swinging through the
heavens peopled not even by mem
cries. It is the end"
He stopped and kissed the women
of his family, and laid his strong hand
upon the shoulders of the men.
AS l turned sadly from him my eyes
fell upon Dejah Thoris. Her head was
dropping upon her breast, TO all APP
pearances she was lifeless. With a cry
l sprang to her and raised her in my
arms.
Her eyes opened and looked into
mine.
Kiss me, John Carter" she muir
INJURED. 81 love you'll love you! 1t is
cruel that we must be torn apart who
were Just starting upon a life of love
and happiness"
AS I pressed her dear lips to mine
the old feeling Of unconquerable pow
er and authority rose in me- The fight
ing blood of Virginia sprang to life In
my veins.
ut shall not be. my princess" ]
cried. "There is, there must be some
way, and John Carter, who has fought
his way through a strange world for
love of you, will find it,"
And with my words there Crept
above the threshold of my conscious
mind a series of nine long forgotten
sounds. Like 4 fash Of lightning in
the darkness their full purpOrt daWned
upon me--the key 70 the three great
doors Of the atmosphere plant!
Turning suddenly toward Tardos
Mors as I still clasped my dying love
to my breast I cried:
"a flyer, Jeddakl Quickl Order
your swiftest flyer to the palace. top
l can save Barsoom yet"
He did not wait to question, but in
an instant a guard was racing to the
nearest dock and though the air was
thin and almost gone at the rOoftop
they managed to launch the fastest
one-man, airscout machine that the
skill of Barsoom had ever produced
kissing Dejah Thoris a dozen times
and commanding WOola, who would
have followed me, to remain and guard
her. l bounded with my old agility and
strength to the high ramparts Of the
palace, and in another moment was
headed toward the goal of the hopes
Of all BarsOom.
I had to fly low TO get sufficient air
to breathe, but l took a straight course
across an old sea bottom and so had to
rise only a few feet above the ground.
l travelled with awful velocity, for
my errand was a race against time
with death. The face of Dejah Thoris
hung always before me. AS 1 turned
for last look as left the palace gar
den l had seen her stagger and sink
upon the ground beside the little incu-
ibator. That she had dropped into the
last coma which would end In death.

Sank Unconscious Upon the Ground,

little doorway l had been naked. Be-
fore me was a small patch Of moonlit
sky which showed through a ragged
aperture.
AS my hands passed over my body
they came in contact with pockets and
in one of these q small parcel of
matches wrapped in oiled paper. One
Of these matches | struck, and its dim
flame lighted up what appeared to be
a huge cave, toward the back Of which
l discovered a strange, still figure
huddled over tiny bench. AS / ap-
preached it saw that it was the dead
and mummtied remains of a little old
woman with long black hair, and the
thing 1t leaned over was a small char
coal burner upon which rested a
round copper vessel containing a
small quantity of greenish powder.
Behind her. depending from the roof
upon rawhide thongs, and stretching
entirely across the cave, was a rev of
human skeletons. From the thong
which held them stretched another to
the dead hand of the little old woman ;
as l touched the cord the skeletons
swung to the motion with a noise as of
the rustling of dry leaves.
1t was a most grotesQue and horrld
tableau and ! fastened out into the
fresh air; glad 70 escape from so grue-
some place.
The sight that met my eyes as l
stepped out upon a small ledge which
ran before the entrance of the cave
filed me with CONSERVATION.
A new heaven and a new landscape
met my gaze. The silvered mountains
in the distance, the almost stationary
moon hanging in the sky, the cacti-
studded valley below me were not OF
Mars. ! could scarce believe my eyes
but The truth slowly forced Itself upon
mel was looking upon Arizona from
the same ledge from which ten years
before l had gazed with longing upon
Mars.
Burying my head In my arms l
turned, broken, and sorrowful, down
the trail from the cave.
Above me shone the red eye of Mars
holding her awful secret, forty-eight
million miles away.
Did the Marian reach the pump
room? Did the vitalizing air reach
the people of that distant planet in
time to save them? Was my Dejal
Thoris alive, or did her beautiful body
lie cold in death beside the tiny golden
incubator in the sunken garden Of the
inner courtyard Of the palace Of Tar
dos Mors, the ieddak OF Helium?

palace a message called me to the
council chamber, which 1 found filling
with the members Of that body.
On the raised platform of the throne
was Tardos Mors. pacing back and
forth with tense-drawn face. When
all were in their seats he turned to-
ward US.
'Thls morning." he said, sword

Barsoom that the keeper of the atmos-

Ceaseless calls upon him from a score
Of capitals ELECTED a sign of response.
All day thousand cruisers have been
searching for him until, just now, one
of them returns bearing his dead body,
which was found in the pits beneath
his house horribly mutilated by some
assassin. ~
81 do not need 70 tell you what this
means to Barsoom. 1t would take
months to penetrate those mighty
walls, in fact the work has already
commenced. and there would be little
to fear were the engine of the pumping
plant to run as it should and as they
all have for hundreds Of years but the
worst, we fear, has happened. The
instruments show a rapidly decreasing
air pressure on all parts of Barsoom-
the engine has stopped.
MY gentlemen" ne concluded, 1--WE
have at best three days, to live"
There was absolute silence for sew
eral minutes, and then a young noble
arose, and with his drawn sword held
high above his head addressed Tardos
MOrs.
1.-THE men Of Helium have prided
themselves that they have ever shown
Barsoom how nation Of red men
should live, now is our opportunity to
show them how they should die. Let
us go about our duties as though a
thousand useful years still lay before
US"
The chamber rang with applause
and as there was nothing better to do
than to alIay the fears Of the people
by our example we went our ways
with smiles upon our faces and sorrow
gnawing at our hearts.
When l returned to my palace l
found that the rumor already had
reached Deiah Thoris, so told her
all that I had heard.
1--WE have been very happy, John
Carter" she said, "and l thank what
ever fate overtakes us that it permits
us to die together
The next two days brought no no.
ticeable change in the supply Of air,
but on the morning Of the third day
breathing became difficult at the high
er attitudes Of the roof tops. The ave-
nues and plazas of Helium were flied
with people. All business had ceased.
For the most part the people looked
brayely into the face of their unalter-
able doom. Here and there, however,
men ana women gave way to quiet
grief.
Toward the middle Of the day many
of the weaker commenced to succumb
and within an hour the people of Bar
SOON were sinking by thousands into
the Inconsistencies which precedeS
death by asphyXiation.
Detah Thoris and I with the other
members of the royal family had col

inner courtyard of the palace. The

NAVY BILL IS

tention to the annual navy ~appropria-
ton bill passed last week by the
house.
Some increase over the $3es,o0o,-

authorized strength by $4,000 men.
with $4,000 actually in the service
and $4,000 enlistrnents TO expire dur
ing the next fiscal year.
