lay looking up into the horrid faces
Of Ceripios, the buried people of
Arniocap.
The blank faces. the corpse-like

where the eyes would have been,
the hairless bodies, the claw-like
hands combined to produce such a
hideous aspect in the monsters as

was hideous end, for he knew
that 1t was the end, since never in
all the many tales the Amiocapians
had told him Of the buried people
was there any record Of a human
being escaping from their clutches.
Now they were addressing him
and presently, in their hollow new
ing, he discerned words. How did

Now. two. Of them lifted him
lightly . and placed him upon the
back of one Of their companions.
So easily the creature carried him
that Tanar wondered that he ever
had overcome the Coripi that he
had met upon the surface Of the
ground.
Through long corridors. some very
dark and others partially lighted
by outcroppings Of phoSphorescent
rock, the creature bore him. At
times they passed through large
grottoes, beautifully wrought in in
tricate designs by nature. or climbed
long Stairways carved in the lime
stone. probably by the CoripieS
themselves, only presently. to de-
scend other stairways and follow
winding tunnels that seemed inter-
minable.
A T last the journey ended in a
IA huge cavern, the ceiling OF
which rose at least 200 feet above
them. This stuperdous grotto was
more brilliantly lighted than any
other section of the Subterranean
world that Tarar had passed
through, into its limestone walls
were cut pathways that lgzagged
back and forth upward toward the
ceiling, and the entire surface of the
surrounding walls was pierced by
holes several feet in diameter that
appeared to be the mouths Of caves
At one end Of the grotto, in a
large opening, a few feet above the

Tanar.
you do not know?"
II may only guess" replied the
Sarian.
These creatures seldom get flesh
with warm blood in it. They subsist
mostly upon the fish in their under
ground rivers and upon the toads
and lizards that inhabit their caves.
Their expeditions to the surface
ordinarily yield nothing more than
the carcasseS of dead beasts, yet
they crave flesh and warm blood.
Heretofore they had killed their
condemned prisoners one by one as
they were available, but this plan
gave mouthful Of flesh to very
few Coripias.
Recently Xax hit upon the plan
OF preserving his own condemned
and the prisoners from the outer
world until he had accumulated a
sufficient number to feast the entire
population of the cavern of which
he is chief. I do not know how that
will be, but steadily the numbers
grow, and perhaps it will not be
long now before there are enough
Of us to I'LL the bellies Of Xaxs
tribe"
"Xax!" repeated Tanar, "was he
the creature sitting in the niche in
the front cavern of which I was
FIRST taken?"
"rTNHAT was Xax. He is ruler of
i that cavern. In the under
ground world Of the Buried People
there are many tribes, each of
which occupies a large cavern SINH
lar to that in which you saw Xax.
Those tribes are not always friendly
and most of the prisoners that you
see in this cavern are members OF
other tribes, though there are a
few from the tribe of Xax who
have been condemned to death for
one reason or another"
"And there is no escape?" asked
Tanar.
None replied the other. 4Abso-
lutely none; but tell me who are
you and from what country?" I
can not believe that you are a ma
tive Of Amiocap, for what Arnioca-
plan is there who would need ask
questions about the felried People?"

For what distance he followed the

Revolt But Natural.

1t is not to be wondered at that
there should be revolt in view of the
/ deplorable conditions in agricultural
areas and in industrial centers. The
cities of Racine and Kenosha returned
huge majorities for the Socialist can
didate while the farmers gave the
progressive Republican nominee a
substantial lead over his conservative
opponent in the primary.
In this connection it may be inter-
esting to note that a recent bulletin
of the Standard Statistics company
shows that the aggregate gross in
come Of American farmers in 1881
will approximate $1,000, OO0,OO0 a de-
cline of 25.S per cent from the 1880
results and nearly Al per cent below
that of 1929.
1t has been predicted by pessimists
that neither the farmer nor the work.
err would wake up, but apparently
they are in error this time. Both
the farmers and workers appear to be
discontinued and to show their re-
sentiment at conditions, in the results
at the polls.

airing their views in public. For
tunately, the House of Representa-

and devotes its time to domestic az

The ranks of the irreconcilables, as

regime, are relatively unchanged.

yer plan of international adjustment
is in more danger from strong-minded
Republican Senators, than from the
Democrats, who must not appear as

The belief that President Hoover
seldom seeks advice could be upset
by close observation. A careful watch
would show Eugene Meyer, director
of the Federal Reserve Board DASH
ing from his office in the Treasury
Building to the private office of the
Chief Executive. Meyers counsel is
sought on financial matters. Henry

the most conservative in Wisconsin,
the voters chose Thomas r. Amlie,
progressive, as the new congressman.
Amlie won the nomination in the pri-
mary by fair lead over the conser-
vative candidate and was successful
in the final election by two to one
margin over o. ]. Bouma, Socialist,
and former Minnesota Farmer-Labor-
lite. The Democratic candidate (Her-
zog) was a poor third.
There could be no better proof of
revolt than the outcome in this con-
gressional contest. It seems actually
beyond belief that the vote in the
First Wisconsin district should be
divided between the progressive Re-
publican and Socialist nominees, and
yet that is what the figures show.
Moreover, Mr.. Bouma is left wing
Socialist. 1t seems quite likely that
had a conservative been nominated in
the Republican primary, Mr.. Bouma
would have been elected to congress.

by the United Press is as follows:
