This encounter, together with my set

their lives. Coming from eggs In which
they have lain for Ave years, the
period of incubation, they step forth
into the world perfectly developed e1-

their own mothers, who. in turn, would
have difficulty In pointing out the ia
theirs with any degree Of accuracy,
they are the common children Of the
community. and their education de-
wolves upon the females who chance
to capture them as they leave the in
cubator.
BY careful selection the Martians
rear only the hardest specimens of
each species and with almost super
natural foresight they regulate the
birth rate to merely Offset the loss by
death. Each adult Marian female
brings forth about thirteen eggs each
year, and those which meet the size,
weight and specific gravity tests are
hidden in the reressas of some subter-
ranean vault where the temperature
is too low for incubation. Every year
these eggs are carefully examined by
a council of twenty chieftains, and all
but about one hundred of the most
perfect are destroyed out of each
yearly supply. At the end of FIVE
years about five hundred almost per-
feet eggs have been chosen from the
thousands brought forth. These are

Sola's duties were now doubled, as
she was compelled to care for the
young Marian as well as for me, but
neither one of us required much at
tention, and as we were both about

us together.
Her prize consisted in a male about
four feet tall. very strong and phys

ment, at least l did. over the keen
rivalry we displayed. The Marian
language, as l have said is extremely
simple, and in a week I could make
all my wants known and understand
nearly everything that was said to me.
Likewise. under Sola's tutelage, / de-
veloped my telepathic powers so that
shortly could sense practically every
thing that went on around me.
The third day after the Incubator
ceremony we set forth toward home,
but scarcely had the head of the pro-

were given for an immediate and

A Feeling of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity. strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and Ia taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
