CHAPTER viii.
Sofa Tells Me Her Story.

When consciousness returned, and,
as l soon learned l was down but a
moment, l sprang quickly to my feet
searching for my sword, and there |
found it, buried to the hilt In the green
breast of Fad, who lay stone dead
upon the ochre moss of the ancient
sea bottom As / regained my full
senses l found his weapon piercing
my left breast, but only through the
flesh and muscles which cover my
ribs, entering near the center of my
chest and coming out below the shout
der. AS l lunged had turned so that
his sword merely passed beneath the
muscles. inflicting a painful but not
dangerous wound.
Removing the blade from my body
l also regained my own, and turning
my back upon his ugly carcass, l
moved, sick, sore, and Disguised, to-
ward the chariOts which bore my ret
inue and my belongings. A murmur
of Marian applause greeted me. but
/ cared not for 1t.
Bleeding and weak reached my
women, who, accustomed to such hap
penings, dressed my wounds, apply
ing the wonderful healing and remedi-
al agents which make only the most
instantaneous of death blows fatal.
AS soon as they were through with
me / fastened to the chariot of De1ah
Thoris, where l found my poor Sofa
with her chest swathed in bandages
but apparently little the worse for
her encounter with Sarkoja, whose
dagger it seemed had struck the edge
Of one Of Sola's metal breast orna-
ments and, thus detected, had inflicted
but slight flesh wound.
ASH approached found Dejah Thor

~ learned afterward that she told
them that she had killed me to save
me from like fate at their hands, and
that she had thrown my body to the
white apes. Sarkoja alone disbelieved
her, and feel to this day that she sus-
poets my true origin, but does not dare
expose me. at the present, at all
events, because she also guesses, / am
sure, the identity of my father
"When he returned from his expedi-
ton and learned the story of my moth
er's fate l was present as Tai Hajus
told him; but never by the CULVER Of
muscle did he betray the slightest emo
tion; only he did not laugh as Tai Ha-
Jus gleefully described her death
struggles. From that moment on he
was the eruelest OF the cruel, and l
am awaiting the day when he shall
win the goal OF his ambition, and feel
the carcass OF Tai Hajus beneath his
foot, for l am sure that he but waits
the opportunity to wreak terrible
vengeance"
"And your father, Sola, is he with us
now?" l asked

liver an effective thrust. Then he
| changed his tactics, and fighting warily
and with extreme dexterity, he tried
to do by science what he was unable
to do by brute strength.
We circled for some time without
doing much damage on either side; the
long, straight, needle-like swords flash
ing In the sunlight, and ringing out
upon the stiffness as they crashed to-
gether with each effective parry.
Finally Fad, realizing that he was tir-
ing more than l, evidently decided TO
close in and end the battle in final
blaze of glory for himself; just as he
rushed me a binding flash of light
struck full In my eyes, so that | could
only leap blindly to one side In an
effort to escape the mighty blade that
It seemed | could already feel in my
vitals. l was only partially success
full, as a sharp pain in my left shout
der attested, but in the sweep of my.
glance as l sought to again locate my
adversary, a sight met my astonished
gaze which paid me well for the wound
the temporary blindness had caused
me. There, upon Dejah Thoris' chariot,
stood three figures, for the purpose
evidently of witnessing the encounter
above the heads of the intervening
Thanks. There were Dejah Thoris,
Sofa, and SarkOja, and as my fleet
ing glance swept over them little
tableau was presented which will
stand craven in my memory to the
day of my death.
AS l looked, Dejah Thoris turned
upon Sarkoja with the fury of young
tigress and struck something from her
appraised hand; something which
flashed in the sunlight as 1t spun to
the ground. Then I knew what had
blinded me at that crucial moment
of the fight, and how Sarkoja had
found a way to kill me without her
self delivering the final thrust. An
other thing l saw, too, which almost
lost my life for me then and there, for
1t took my mind for the fraction of
an instant entirely from my antago-
mist; for, as Dejah ThOris struck the
tiny mirror from her hand, Sarkoja,
her, face livid with hatred and battied
rage, whipped out her dagger and
aimed a terrific blow at Dejah Thoris;
and then Sofa, our dear and faithful
Sofa, sprang between them; the last
/ saw was the great knife descending
upon her shielding breast.
My enemy had recovered from his
thrust and was making 1t extremely
interesting for me, so / reluctantly
gave my attention to the work in
hand, but my mind was not upon the
battle.
We rushed each other furiously time
after time, til suddenly, feeling the
sharp point of his sword at my breast
in a thrust | could neither parry nor
escape, l threw myself upon him with
outstretched sword and with all the
weight of my body, determined that
/ would not die alone if l could pre-
vent it. l felt the steel tear into my
chest, all went black before me, my
head whirled in dizziness, and l felt
my knees giving beneath me.

IDEA IN MESSAGE
G. 0. P. Chairman Says Re-

Tax reduction recommendations of
President Coolidge in his address to
Congress were especially commended
by Chairman Adams of the republican
national committee, in statement
today.
President Coolidge's message to
to the Congress will be well received
by the country" said Chairman
Adams. LAS he stated, our main
problems are domestic problems
THE public is more concerned over
the question of taxes than any other
one issue. That portion of President
Cooltdge's message which deals with
the tax question probably will be the
most discussed Undoubtedly 1t will
meet with popular approval.

He gives his unqualified indorse-
ment to the plan of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon for IL radical de-
crease in federal taxes. including a
proposal for a constitutional amend
ment t. prohibit issuance of tax-ex-
empt securities.
THE Presidents insistence that
taxes must be reduced to the mini

must live" 1t was said by high Of
hcial at the French foreign office to-
DAY. He added that the Presidents
message had made a most agreeable
impression there
AS to President Coolidge's declara-
tions on the interallied war debt, he
said the French position was well
known and that there was nothing
in the American Presidents state
ment in conflict with it.
President Coolidge's message Is de-
scribed by Pertinax in L'Echo De
Paris as ''an outline of American
policy exclusively directed toward
attaining her own particular ends,
in spite of the fine sounding phrases
which to our ears smack rather of
the pulpit than the rostrum."
America, as is natural" Pertinax
adds, intends to defend her own in
terests exclusively; indeed she dis
avows any other preoccupation. If
she comedies us the same right, our
policy in reparation and national Sc
curity can be followed out without
encountering any obstacle from her."
