young woman for several moments
after she had ceased speaking. That

battle with wide, staring eyes. When
| had regained my feet raised her
In my arms and bore her to one OF the
benches at the side Of the room.
Again no Marian interfered with
me. and when she could speak she
placed her hand upon my arm. and
looking into my eyes, said:
"Why did you lt? You. who re-
fused me even friendly recognition In
the first hour of my peril! And now
you risk your life and kin one of your
companions for my sake. cannot I'M

learned later was the cause of my
great freedom and my federation in
the audience chamber.
As I had turned to receive the dead
warriors chattels | had noticed that
Tars Tarkas and several others had
pushed forward toward us. The chief
addressed me:
"Do you know what your uD-
precedented temerity would have cost
you had you failed to kill either OF the
two chieftains whose metal you now
wearf" he asked.
81 presume that that one whom
had failed to kill, would have killed
me-" I answered, smiling.
EMO, you are wrong. Only In the
last extremity of self-defense would
a Marian warrior kill q prisoner; we
like to save them for other purposes"
and his face bespoke possibilities that
were not pleasant to dwell upon.
But one thing can save you now"
he continued. "Should you, In recogni-
ton of your remarkable valor. ferocity

jus as worthy OF his service you may
be taken into the community and be-

I had guessed at the keynote which
would strike an answering chord In the
breasts Of the green Martians, nor wa.

Twins and Cuadruplets.

Once In while one reads about {
birth of bankruptcies. Very rarely
quintuplets are born, and there have
even been instances of sextuplets
When four or more babies come into
the world at birth, almost never de
more than three of them survive. A
tendency to the production of twins is
undoubtedly hereditary; it runs In
families. A woman whose mother and
grandmother have borne twins may
fairly be expected, if married, to bring
one or more pairs into the world. That
curious armored mammal, the arma.
dillO, common in Texas and Mexico
nearly always produces four young al

thing about them is that they are
identical" bankruptcies. e., pro.
duced by the splitting Of a single fer.
tilted cell. The phenomenon of split
ting is known to occur only In the ar.
madillO and in man. Identical human
twins (produced by single cell) are
very exceptional, but not extremely
rare. They are in effect duplicates of
one individual. and might almost be
said to share a common identity. Or.
binary "fraternaP' twins may be more
or less alike, but identical twins resem-
Bile each other so closely that it is hard
to tell them apart.

Sunday Fire Caused

Considerable damage to electric
wiring and motors in the basement of
Garbutt-Donovan building was caused
Sunday afternoon by blaze which is
thought to have been started by a
live cigar butt or lighted match acct
dentally dropped down the sidewalk
air hole
The fire department was called and
checked the blaze before it gained a
strong hold on the building. The fire
burned out the electric wiring in the
basement and water put one of the
motors out of commission for the
morning. Elevator service was re-
sumed in the building early Monday
afternoon.

GET CITY AND COUNTRY
BOYS TOGETHER - County

BOYS TOGETHER - County
Agent c. T. Owents proposes
next month to get the county pig
club boys and the Fitzgerald Boy
Scouts together in a boy scout
organization to include both.
Chief w. c. Wilkerson, scout
master of the single local troop.
has assured his cooperation.
The help of other men compe-
tent to serve as scoutmasters
Will be sought. The immediate
purpose of the boy scout work
for pig club boys will be to get
them in shape to make a super
lor showing at the Irwin-Ben
Hill county pig club boys camp
IN August. The club boys will
be taught scout craft and the
various fundamentals of group
camping and scout drill. The
ultimate object is to get country
and town boys together on a
sympathetic basis, to develope
mutual interests and ambitions,
to sow the seeds of city-county
cooperation.
The boy of today is the man
OF tomorrow. On the training
of the boy of today depends the
attitude and the activities of the
man OF tomorrow. Could the
seeds of mutual understanding
friendship and respect be freely
sowed among the youngsters of
pig club and boy scout age to-
day, from II to 10, ten wears
from now it will be much easier
to get those young men to work
IN harmony for themselves, each
other, and their section.
Today there is too much clan
nishness of rural and urban
youngsters. The country boy
feels himself in way superior
to the town boy; the town boy,
knowing in some things and ig-
norant in others, appreciative of
his knowledge but unrealizing of
ms ignorance, returns the feel
ing of superiority, Neither fully
appreciates the other, nor can
appreciate the other unless
thrown with him more frequent
ly in play.
As the boy plays, the man
will work. That is what the big
educators say. 1t is not hard to
lind corroberative evidence in
any community, in any family.
The Boy Scouts and the Pig
Clubs, and other clubs, teach
boys how to play. Club work is,
largely, productive play. Boy
Scout work. is productive play
although it is productive Of
health and weight, and the fine
points in human flesh that the
club work aims to inculcate in
animal flesh.
Both organizations have as a
first consideration the welfare of
the members and the betterment
OF the members. Both organiza-
lions should be supported, the
one by the town, the other by
the country. Each can help the
other through contact.
It Joint camping trips could
be made regular thing by
scouts and club boys, and, per-
haps, the same sort of thing by
girl scouts and club girls for
understanding and mutual in
terest among the more impor-
tant sex, a great good could be
accomplished.
