echoes of which had reached his pris-

warded by seeing 1t swing upon its
huge hinges, and soon my fierce es-
cort was riding across the gardens of
the jeddak of zodanga.
AS we approached the palace I could
see through the great windows of the
first floor into the brilliantly iliumlnar-
ed audience chamber of Than Kosis.
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
broad aisle lined on either side with
soldiery, and as looked there entered
this aisle at the far end of the hall, the

did It, It was love- love for DeJah
Thoris, a power that would work
greater miracles than this you have
seen. have done many strange
things in my life, many things that
wiser men would not have dared, but
never in my widest fancies have I
dreamed Of winning Dejah Thorls
FOR myself-fOr never had l dreamed
that in all the universe dwelt such a
woman as the princess Of Helium.
That you are princess does not abash
me, but that you are you Is enough
to make me doubt my sanity as / ask
you, my princess, to be mine"
He does not need to be abashed
who so well knew the answer TO his
plea before the plea were made" she
replied, rising and placing her dear
hands upon my shoulders, and so
took her IN my arms and kissed her.
And thus in the midst of a city Of
wild conflict, filed with the alarms Of
war; with death and destruction reap
ing their terrible harvest around her,
did DeJah Thorls, princess of Helium,
true daughter of Mars, the god of war,
promise herself in marriage to John /
Carter, Gentleman Of Virginia.
Some time later Tars Tarkas and
kantos Kan returned to report that
lodanga had been completely reduced.
Her forces were entirely destroyed or
captured, and no further resistance
vas to be expected from within. Sew
,ral battleships had escaped, but there
we're thousands Of war and merchant
'essels under guard of Thark war
Tors.
The lesser hordes had commenced
Ooting and quarreling among them I

an prisoners and make for Helium

Five hours later we sailed from the
2ofs Of the dock buildings with feet
