4 pungent door. and could only assume
that / had been overcome by some
poisonous gas, but why / should .
tain my mental faculties and yet be
unable to move l could not fathom.
The noise Of the approaching horses
had ceased, and I judged the Indians
were creeping stealthny upon me
along the little ledge which led to my
living tomb
l had not long to wait before a
stealthy sound appraised me Of their
nearness. and then war-bonneted.
paint-streaked face was thrust eau
tiOusly around the shoulder of the
eliff, and savage eyes looked into
mine.
The fellow, instead Of approaching,
merely stood and stared his eyes
bullying and his jaw dropped. And
then another savage face appeared,
and a third and fourth and fifth,
cranlng their necks over the Shout
ders of their fellows whom they could
not pass upon the narrow ledge, Each
face was the picture of awe and fear,
but for what reason / did not know,
nor did learn until ten years later.
Suddenly a low but distant moan
ing sound issued from the recesses Of
the cave behind me, and as Il reached
the ears of the Indians they turned
and fed in terror, panic stricken.
Their wild cries echoed in the can
yOn for short time. and then all was
still once more.
The sound which had frightened
them was not repeated, but It had
been sufficient as It was to start me
Specializing on the possible horror
which lurled in the shadows at my
back
Several times l thought I heard
faint sounds behind me as Of some
body moving cautiously. but eventual
ly even these ceased, and / was left
to the contemplation of my position
without interruption.
Until possibly midnight all was ST.
lence. the silence of the dead; then,
suddenly, the awful moan Of the morn
ing broke upon my startled ears, and
there came again from the black
shadows the sound of a moving thing,
and faint rustling MS of dead leaves.
The shock to my already oversrained
nervous system was terrible in the
extreme, and with a superhuman eff
fort strove to break my awful bonds.
Then something gave, there was a mo-
mentary feeling of nausea, a sharp
click as of the swapping Of steel
wire, and stood with my back
against the wall of the cave, facing
my unknown foe.
And then the moonlight flooded the
cave, and there before me lay my own
body as it had been lying all these
hours, with the eyes staring toward
the open ledge and the hands resting
Imply upon the ground looked first
at my lifeless clay there upon the
floor of the cave and then down at
myself in utter bewilderment; for

II was Mars, the god Of war and for
me, the fighting man, it had always
held the power Of irresistible enchant-
ment. AS ! gazed at It on that far
gone night it seemed 20 call across
the unthInkable void, TO lure me to IT.,
TO draw me as the lodestone attracts
a particle Of iron.
My longing was beyond The power
OF opposition; I closed my eyes,
stretched out my arms toward the god
Of my vocation and felt myself drawn
with the suddenness Of thought
through the traekiess immensely Of
space There was an instant Of ex-
IRENE cold and utter darkness.

Like Its master, it was entirely de-
void of hair, but was OF dark slate
color and exceeding smooth and CLOS
sy. Its belly was white and its legs
shaded from the slate Of its shoulders
and hips to a vivid yellow at the feet
Unarmed and naked as / was, the
first law Of nature manifested itself
IN the only possible solution of my
immediate problem, and that was to
get out Of the vicinity of the point

time superhuman leap to reach the
top Of the Marian incubator, for such

depths Of the cave. Naked and I'M

me.

feet into the air and landed me a hun

and the others were evidently salts
flying themselves that had not mo-
Tested their young.
They were conversing together in
low tones, and gesticulating and point
ing toward me. Their discovery that
I had not harmed the little Martians
and that / was unframed must have
caused them to look upon me with less
feroclty; but as | was to learn later,
the thing which weighed most in my
favor was my exhibition Of hurdlng.
While the Martians are immense,
their bones are very large and they
are muscled only In proportion TO the
gravitation which they must overcome
The result Is that they are Infinitely
less agile and less powerful In pro
portion to their weight than an Earth
man, and / doubt that were one Of
them suddenly to be transported to
Earth he could lift his own weight
from the ground; IN fact, 1 am con-
ynced that he could not do so.
My feat, then, was as marvellous up
on Mars ms Il would have been upon
Earth, and from desiring to annihllate
me they suddenly looked upon me as
wonderful discovery TO be captured
and exhibited among their fellows.
/ noted that each was armed With
several other weapons IN addition TO
the huge spear which | have described.
The weapon whfW cnused me to de-
eide against an aMenpt at escape by

Of some description and which / felt,
for some reason, they were peculiarly
efficient IN handling.
These rifles were Of a white metal
stocked with wood. which / learned
later was very light and intensely
hard growth much priced on Mars,
and entirely unknown 70 us denlzens
OF Earth. The metal of the barrel
IS an alloy composed principally Of
aluminium and steel which they have
learned to temper TO a hardness far
exceeding that OF the steel with which
we are familiar. The weight of these
rifles Is comparatively little and with
the small caliber, explosive, radium
projectlles which they use and the
great length Of the barrel, they are
deadly IN the extreme and at ranges
which would be unthlnkable on Earth.
The theoretic effective radius Of this
rife IS three hundred miles, but the
best they can do I'm actual service
when equipped with their wireless
finders and sighters is but trihe
,ver two hundred miles.
