CHAPTER XVII.
From Joy to Death.

From Joy to Death.
For ten days the hordes Of Thark
and their wild allies were feasted and
entertained, and, then, loaded with
costly presents and escorted by ten
thousand soldiers Of Helium command
ed by Mors Kajak, they started on
the return journey to their own lands.
The Jed Of Lesser Helium with small
party of mobiles accompanied them all
the way to Thark to cement more
closely the new bonds Of peace and
friendship.
Sola 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 Sola, returned upon a battle
ship that had been dispatched to Thark
to fetch them in time for the ceremony
which made Dejah Thoris and John
Carter one.
For nine years I served In the coun-
ellis and fought in the armies Of Helium
as a 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 q snow-white egg.
For nearly five years ten soldiers Of
the jeddak's Guard had constantly
stood over 1t, and not q day passed
when I was in the city that Dejah
Thoris and did not stand hand In
hand before our little shrine planning
for the future, when the delicate shell
should break.

Ten minutes after 1t touched at the

On the raised platform Of the throne

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 1t 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" he concluded. 1--WE
have at best three days to live"
There was absolute silence for sew
eral minutes. and then young noble
arose, and with his drawn sword held
high above his head addressed TardOs
MOrs.'
'The men of Helium have prided
themselves that they have ever shown
Barsoom how q nation Of red men
should live, now is our opportunity to
show them how they should die. Let
us 20 about our duties as though a
thousand useful years still lay before
u.s."
The chamber rang with applause
and as there was nothing better to do
than to allay the fears Of the people
by our example we went our ways
with smiles upon our faces and sorrow
gnawing at our hearts.
When I returned to my palace l
found that the rumor already had
reached Dejah Thoris, SO I told her
all that had heard.
1--WE have been very happy, John
Carter" she said, "and thank what.
ever fate overtakes rs that 1t 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 plazns Of Helium were filled
with people. All business had ceased.
For the most part the people looked
bravely into the face Of their unalter-
able doom. Here and there, however,
men and 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.
Dejah Thoris and I with the other
members Of the royal family had col
