Careless Shsnpooing
Spoils the Hair

Soap should DE used very carefully n
you want TO keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkaii. This dries
the scalp; makes the hair brittle. and
ruins IT,
The best thing for steady use is Null
sihed cocoanut oil shampoo (which Is
pure and greaseless), and Is better than
anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonsful Of Mulslfed
will cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply noisten the hair with
water and rub II in. II makes an abun-
dance OF rich, creamy lather which rinses
out easily, removing every particle Of
dust, dirt. dandrun and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
It leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine
and silky. bright, lustrous, duffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulslded eocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap. and a few ounces will supply
every member Of the family for months.
BE sure your druggist gives you Mul-
sined.

CHAPTER XIII.
Ar Air Scout for zodanga.

As l proceeded on my journey to-
ward Zodanga many strange and in
teresting sights arrested my attention,
and at the several farmhouses where
I stopped learned a number of new
and Instructive things concerning the
methods and manners of Barsoom.
The water which supplies the farms
of Mars is collected in immense under
ground reservoirs at either pole from
the melting ice caps, and pumped
through long conduits to the various
populated centers. Instead of flooding
the surface Of the fields, and thus
wasting immense quantities of water
by evaporation, the precious liquid is
carried underground through vast
network Of small pipes directly to the
roots Of the vegetation. The crops
upon Mars are always uniform, for
there are no droughts, no rains, no
high winds, and no insects, or destroy.

lar to anything on Earth.
At second stop met some highly
cultivated people Of the noble class
and while in conversation we CHANGED
to speak of Helium. One Of the older
men had been there on a diplomatic
mission several years before and spoke
with regret of the conditions which
seemed destined ever to keep these
two countries at war.
"Helium." he said, brightly boasts
the most beautiful women of Barsoom,
and of all her treasures the wondrous
daughter of Mors KAYAK, Dejah Thoris
Is the most exquisite flower.
"Why." he added, ''the people really

Marian sky, and at great speed and
without further mlshap returned to
Zodanga.
AS We neared the city we dlscov-
cred a mighty concourse of civilians
and troops assembled upon the plain
before the city. My companion sig
nailed that l slow down, and running
his machine close beside mine sug-
gested that we approach and watch
the ceremony, which, he said. was
for the purpose of comforting honOrs
on individual officers and men for
bravery and other distinguished
service. He then unfurled little en-
sign which denoted that his craft bore
a member of the royal family of 10
danga. and together we made our
way through the maze Of iow-lying
air vessels until we hung directly over
the jeddak Of Zodanga and his staff.
One of the staff called the attention
Of Than Kosis to the presence of my
companion above them and the ruler
motioned for him TO descend. l could
not hear their conversation and pres
emily it ceased and all dismounted,
as the last body of troops had wheeled
into position before their emperor. A
member of the staff advanced toward
the troops, and calling the name of
a soldier commanded him to advance.
The officer then recited the nature of
the heroic act which had won the
approval of the ieddak, and the lat
ter advanced and placed metal or
nament upon the left arm of the lucky
man.
Ten men had been so decorated when
the aid called out.
John Carter, air SCOUT"
Never in my life had been so sur
prised, but the habit of military dis
cipline is strong within. me. and
dropped my little machine lightly to
the ground and advanced on foot as
I had seen the others do. AS halted
before the officer, he addressed me
in voice audible to the entire as
semblage of troops and spectators.
"In recognition, John Carter" he
said, "of your remarkable courage and
skill in defending the person of the
cousin of the jeddak Than Koss and,
single-handed, vanquishing three green
warriors, it is the pleasure of our jed
dak to confer on you the mark of his
esteem"
Than Kosis then advanced toward
me and placing an ornament upon
me, said:
"My cousin has narrated the details
of your wonderful achievement,
which seems little short of miracu-
Ious, and if you can so well defend
cousin of the jeddak how much better
could you defend the person of the
ieddak himself. You are therefore APP
pointed a padwar Of the Guard and
will be quartered in my palace here

l thanked him, and with an order
ly from the palace to guide me re-
ported to the officer in charge of the
palace.

at the corners of her mouth she made
answer:
From the beginning of time upon
Barsoom 1t has been the prerogative
of woman to change her mind as she
listed and to dissemble in matters con-
corning her heart. That you will for
give. Than Kosls, as has your son.
Two days ago. was not sure of his
love for me, but now ! am. and |
have come to beg of you TO forget
my rash words and to accept the as
surance Of the princess of Helium
that when the time comes she will
wed Sab Than, prince of Zodanga."
Il am glad that you have SO de-
cided," replied Than Kosis. at Is far
from my desire to push war further
against the people of Hellum, and,
your promise shall be recorded and
a proclamation to my people issued
forthwith. We shall see how the PEG
pie of Hellum take TO peace. shall
at least offer it to them"
Dejah Thoris, after a few words,
turned and left the apartment, still
followed by her guards.
Thus was the edlfice of my brief
dream Of happiness dashed, broken,
to the ground of reality. The woman
for whom l had offered my life, and
from whose lips l had so recently
heard a declaration of love for me,
had lightly forgotten my very exist
ence and smilingly given herself to
the son of her peoples most hated
enemy.

force her to repeat the cruel truth
to me alone before l would be con-

and FASTENED through the passage be-
hind the tapestries toward the door
by which she had left the chamber.
Slipping quietly through this opening
| discovered a maze Of winding corri-
doris, branching and turning in every
direction.
Running rapidly down first one and
then another of them I soon became
hopelessly lost and was standing pant
ing against a side wall when heard
voices near me. Apparently they were

AS he passed through the great hal

stealthily from my hiding place ant
crossed to the great door, the inne
of the three which stood between m
and liberty.
Concentrating my mind upon the
massive lock hurled the nine
thought waves against 1t. In breath

the great door moved softly toward
me and slid quietly to one side. One
after the other the remaining mighty
portals opened at my command and

that we had full stomachs.

their right hands upon my left Shout.

of salute, and asking me many cues
lions about myself and my wander
ings. They then took me to the
house of one of them which was only
a short distance away.
They were the personifcation of
cordiality and hospitality and spent
several days with them, resting and
recuperating from my long and ardu-
Gus experiences.
When / was ready to depart they
furnished me with a small domestic
bull thoat, such as is used for saddle
purposes by all red Martians. The
animal is about the size of horse and
quite gentle, but in color and shape
ali exact replica of his huge and fierce
cousin Of the wilds.
The brothers had supplied me with
a reddish oil with which I anointed
my entire body and one of them cut
my hair, which had grown quite long,
in the prevailing fashion Of the time,
square at the back and banged IN
front, so that could have passed any
where upon Barsoom as a full-hedged'
red Marian. My metal and orna-
mentS were also renewed In the style
Of Zodangan gentleman, attached to
the house Of Ptor, which was the fam
lily name of my benefactors.

CHAPTER xiv.
I Find DeIah.

The major-domo to whom I reported
had been given instructions to station
me near the person Of the jeddak, who,
in time of war, Is always in great
danger of assassination, as the rule
that all is fair in war seems to con-
stitute the entire ethics Of Marian
conflict.
He therefore escorted me immedi-
ately to the apartment in which Than
Kosis then was. The ruler was en-
gagged in conversation with his son,
Sab Than, and several courtiers of
his household, and did not perceive
my entrance.
The walls of the apartment were
completely hung with splendid tapes
tries. My guide drew aside one OF
the tapestries, disclosing a passage
which encircled the room, between the
hangings and the walls of the cham
Der. Within this passage I was to
remain, he said, so long as Than Kosis
was in the apartment. When he left
l was to follow. My only duty was
to guard the ruler and keep out of
sight as much as possible. would

hours. The major-domo then left me.

they approached close to the jeddak.
Than Kosis looked up In surprise, and,
rising, saluted her.
