Ing the Gay at deserted cities where,
, even to the beasts, we were all kept
indoors during the daylight hours. On
the march Tars Tarkas, through his
remarkable ability and craftsmanship,
enlisted fifty thousand more warriors
from various hOrdes, so that, ten days
after we set out we halted at midnight
outside the great walled city of 20
danga, one hundred and fifty thousand
strong.
The task of obtaining entry to the
city devOlved upon me. took twenty
dismounted warriors and approached
one of the small gates that pierced
the walls at short intervals.
Placing three of my warriors with
their faces TO the wall and arms
locked, I commanded two more to
mount to their shoulders, and a sixth
ordered to climb upon the shoulders
of the upper two. The head of the top
most warrior lowered over forty feet
from the ground.
In this way, with ten warriors,
ground to the shoulders of the topmost
man. Then starting from a short dis
lance behind them l ran swiftly up
from one tier TO the next, and with a
final bound from the broad shoulders
of the highest ! clutched the top of the
great wall and quietly drew myself to
its broad expanse. After me I dragged
six lengths of leather from an equal
number of my warriors. These lengths
we had previously fastened together,
and passing one end to the topmost
warrior | lowered the other end eau
tiously over the opposite side Of the
wall toward the avenue below. No one
was in sight, so, lowering myself to
the end of my leather strap, dropped
the remaining thirty feet to the pave.

tered at the lower boundary of the
enormous palace grounds. Dispatching
one of my men to Tars Tarkas for q
detail of fifty Thanks, with word of my
intentions, I ordered ten warriors tc
capture and open one of the great
gates while with the nine remaining
took the other. We were to do our worl
quietly, no shots were to be fred and
no general advance made until | had
reached the palace with my fifty
Thanks. Our plans worked to perfec-
ton. The two sentries we met were
dispatched to their fathers upon the
banks of the lost sea Of Korus, and the
guards at both gates followed them in
silence.

As we approached the palace l could
see through the great windows of the

The immense hall 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 Kosis and his con-
sort, surrounded by officers and digni-
tarieS of state. Before them stretched

later told me, had gone Immediately to
my former quarters where he had
taken up his pathetic and seemingly
hopeless watch for my return.

return from the jeddak's quarters +;

Tai Hajus tonight. You shall not sac

night you can have the choice you

While we were eating I repeated to
Tars Tarkas the story which Sofa had
told me that night upon the sea bottom
during the march to Thank.
He said but little, but the great
muscles of his face worked in passion
and in agony at recollection of the
horrors which had been heaped upon
the only thing he had ever loved in all
his cold, cruel, terrible existence.
He no longer demurred when I sug-
gested that we go before Tai Haius,
only saying that he would Iike'to speak
to Sarkoja first. At his request l &C.
companied him to her quarters.
"Sarkoja," said Tars Tarkas, forty
years ago you were instrumental in
bringing about the torture and death
Of a woman named Gozava. I have
just discovered that the warrior who
loved that woman has learned of your
part in the transaction. He may not

MUCH BOOZE POURED OUT.

Waukegan, H., Jan. 11,-Federal prohibition agents started streams of liquor into the sewers of Waukegan today. The raid was ,unheraled, and so swift that it spread dismay in the ranks of the local vets. Shortly after the raids started it was estimated that 10000 quarts of liquor had been seiz- ed. Much of this was 'in the wood," and the agents rolled barrels to the curbs and drove in the heads of the containers with axes.
