about him he saw that he was the
only occupant Of the room.


only occupant of the room.
IN the wall, opposite the window,
l. he discerned a doorway and
crossing to it he saw that it opened
into a narrow corridor, running
parallel with the length of the
room. Looking up and down the
corridor he discerned faint patches
of light, as though other open door
ways lined one side of the hallway.
He was about to enter upon a
tour of investigation when the noise
of something scurrying along the
floor Of the corridor attracted his
attention, and looking back to his
left he saw a dark form creeping
toward him.
1t stood about a foot in height
and was, perhaps, three feet long.
but in the shadows of the corridor
it loomed too indistinctly for him
to recognize its details. But pres
emily he saw that it had two shin
ing eyes that seemed to be directed
upon him.
AS it came boldly forward, Tanar
stepped back into the room. On the
thing came and turning into the
doorway it stopped and surveyed the
Sarian. In his native country
Tanar had been familiar with a
species of wood rat, which the
Sarian considered large, but never
in all his life had he dreamed that
a rat could grow to the enormous
proportions Of the hideouS thing
that confronted him with its bold,
cleaning, beady eyes.
Tanar had been disarmed when
he had been taken aboard the
Korsar ship, but even so he had no
fear of a rodent, even if the thing
should elect to ATTACK him, which
he doubted. But the ferocious ap-
pearance of the rat gave him pause
as he thought what the result might
be If number of them should at
tack a man simultaneously.
Presently the rat, still standing
facing him, Squealed. For a time
there was silence and then the thing
squealed again and, as from a great
distance, Tanar heard an answering
squeal, and then another and
another, and presently they grew
louder and greater in volume, and
he knew that the rat of the Korsar
dungeon was calling its fellows to
the attack and the feast.
He looked about him for some
weapon of defense. but there was
nothing but the bare stone of the
floor and the walls. He heard the
rat pack coming, and still the scout
that had discovered him stood in
the doorway, waiting.
Il
DUT why should he, the man,
O wait? If he must die, he would
die fighting and if he could take the
rats as they came, one by one, he
might make them pay for their meal
and pay dearly. And SO, with the
agility of tiger. the man leaped
for the rodent, and so sudden and
unexpected was his spring that one
hand fell upon the loathsome crea-
ture before it could escape.

"You do not know that The Cid
is dead" insisted Stellara; but if
he is, who is there better fitted to
be chief Of the Korsars than Buff?
And if he is chief, he will reward
you for returning this man, when
explain to him the purpose for
which he was brought back to
Korsar."
We'll" said the Korsar, perhaps
you are right. II he will promise
to help us work the boat, we shall
take him with us. But how about
the girl here?"
Stellara turned TO Gura What do
you wish to do?" Her voice was cold
and naughty.
Where Tanar goes, there I will
CO." replied Gura.
Stellara's eyes narrowed and for
an instant they flashed fire, but i'm
mediately they resumed their
natural, kindly expression, though
tinged with sadness.
Very we'll, then" he said, turn
ing sadly away. "the girl must re-
turn with us to Korsar."
The sailors discussed this question
at some length and most of them
we're opposed to it, but when
Stellara insisted and assured them
of still greater reward, they finally
consented.
TINE Korsars marched boldly
A. across the mosa, past the walls
of earn, their arquebuses ready in
their hands, knowing full well the
fear of them that past raids had
implanted in the breasts of the
HimeanS.
As they reached the opposite side
of the mesa, where they could look
out across the bay of earn, a hoarse
shout of pleasure arose from the
Threats of the Korsars, for there, at
anchor in the bay, lay a Korsar
ship. The Korsars fairly tumbled
down the precipitous trail to the
beach.
Rushing to the edge of the water,
they tried to discharge their argue
buses to attract attention from the
vessel. A few of the charges had
dried and the resulting explosion
awakened signs Of life upon the
anchored ship. The sailors on the
shore tore off sashes and banker
chiefs, which they waved franti-
cally as signals of distress, and
presently they were rewarded by
the sight Of the lowering of boat
from the vessel.
Within speaking distance Of the
shore, the boat came to stop and
an officer hailed the men on shore.
Who are you?" he demanded.
we are part of the crew of the
ship Of The Cid" replied the sailors
spokesman. Our ship was wrecked
in mid-ocean and we made our
way to Amiocap and then to Hine,
but here we lost the boat that we
built upon Amiocap."
Assured that the men were Kor-

shore and finally it was beacheds

carefully, he approved her plan and
agreed to take Tanar and Gura

momentarily alone with Stellara.
"Stellara" he said. What change

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
THE voyage to Karsar was
Il uneventful, and during its en-
tire extent Tanar saw nothing Of
either Stellara or Gura, for, al
though he was not confined IN the
dark hold, he was not permitted
above the first decb and although
he often looked 4. at the higher
deck at the stern The ship, he
never caught 81 1se of either
Of the girls. So he oncluded that
Gura was confined in one of the
cabins and that Stellara deliberately
avoided any sight Of him.
AS they approached the coast Of
Korsar, Tanar saw a level country,
curving uward into the mist of the
distance. He saw cultivated fields
and patches Of forest land and
river running down to the sea-
broad, winding river, upon the shore
Of which a city lay, inland a little
from the ocean.
The ship made directly for the
mouth of the river, up which it
sailed toward the city, which, as
they approached it, Tanar saw far
surpassed in size and the preten-
tiousness of its buildings any habi-
tation of man that he ever had
seen upon the surface of Pellucidar,
not even excepting the new capital
Of the confederated kingdoms of Pei
lucidar that Emperor David was
building.
Where the river widened, the
town had been built and here there
rode at anchor great flood Of
ships of war and many lesser craft
fishing boats and river boats and
barges. AS their ship approached,
cannons doomed from the docks of
the anchored warships, and the sa-
lutte was returned by their own
craft, which finally came to anchor
in stream, opposite the city
Small boats put out from the
shore and were padded rapidly to-
ward the warShip, which also low
cred some of her own boats, into
one of which Tanar was ordered I'M
der charge of an officer and a
couple of sailors.
AS he was taken to shore and
marched along the street, he ex-
cited considerable attention among
the crowds through which they
passed, for he Immediately was rec
ognized as a barbarian captive from
some uncivilized quarter of Pellu-
cidar.

Native villages in the heart of the dark con-
tnent are fairly numerous. So it was that the
day he found the cub, Tarzan and his family
left the homeward trail and came to one of
these collections OF hutS to obtain milk for the
young lion. Great excitement followed their
approach. The natives viewed the three whites
with curiosity. They saw them almost as naked
as themselves and armed similarly save that
the younger man also carried a rife Jane,
Tarzan and Korak wore the barbaric trappings
of Pal-ul-don and so we're entirely strange to
the eyes Of theysimple natives.

DURING the debarkation Tanar
~ had seen nothing of either
Stellara or Gura and now he Won
dered if he ever was to see them
again. His mind was filled with the
same sad thoughts that had been
his companions during the entire
course of the long journey from
Hime to Korsar and which finally
had convinced him that he never
had known the true Stellara until
she had avowed herself upon the
deck of the ship in the harbor of
earn
Yes, he was all right upon Alnio-
cap, but in KorSar he was only a
naked savage, and this fact was
borne in upon him now by the con-
vincing evidence of the naughty
contempt which the natives of
Korsar stared at him or exchanged
rude jokes at his expense.
1t hurt the Sarian'S pride to think
that he had been SO deceived by
the woman to whom he had given
all his love. He would have Staked
his life upon his belief that hers
was the sweetest and purest and
most loyal of characters, and to
learn at last that she was shallow
and insincere cut him to the quick,
and his suffering was lightened by
but a single thought-his unques-
toned belief in the sweet and en-
during friendship of Gura.
1t was with such thoughts that
his mind was occupied as he was
led into a building along the water
front. which seemed to be in the
nature of a guardhouse. Here he
was turned over to an officer in
charge, and, after a few brief ques-
tionS. two soldiers conducted him
into another room, raised a heavy
trapdoor in the floor, and babe him
descend a rude ladder that led
downward into darkness below.
No sooner had his head descended
below the floor joistS than the door
was slammed down above him. He
heard the grating of heavy bolt as
the soldiers shut it and then the
thus of their footsteps as they left
the room above.
Descending slowly for about ten
feet, Tanar came at last to the sur
face of a stone floor. His eyes be-
coming accustomed to the change,
he realized that the apartment into
which he had descended was not in
total darkness, but that daylight
filtered into it from a small barred
window near the ceiling. Looking

It was unbelievably easy-owing to
the fact that, being in the uniform

It was in almost a state Of exalta-

1t was, of course, my good fortune
and a weakness in the prison system
that, in no case, was one guard in
actual sight of another. But for this
I could hardly have succeeded.

room was the prison bookkeeper, who
stared at me in amazement.
He stared harder, with yet more
amazement, as a big automatic ap-
peared a foot from his face and the
unknown guard gave the peremptory
order

Concrete Repairs

TO do a good repair job on con-
crete walks or floors, first trim
away the old concrete until sound
material is reached, or deep enough
to allow for at least l inch of new
concrete. Keep the edges of the ad-
Jacent good concrete nearly verti-
cal. Soak the old concrete with wa
ter, remove the excess water, and
give it coat of grout-a mixture of
cement and water having the con-
sistency of cream While this is
stir moist, apply and ram the new
concrete. After letting it stand for
to 20 minutes, ram it again to re-
duce later shrinkage. Work the sur
face with wooden float, taking
care to make a good finish at the
edges of the patch. The new con-
crete should be covered and kept
moist for several days. A pavement
that has worn smooth can be rough
ened by picking the surface with a
sharp tool. If earth has been re-
moved beneath paving, do not re-
place the paving until the back fill
has settled and has been rammed.

Farm Notes

The best size of milk house for
the farmer milking from 10 to 20
COWS is one with a milk room 6 by
8 feet, a wash room of about the
same size, and a boiler room by
6 feet, according to the Bureau of
Dairy Industry.
Turkeys that have been raised on
free range do not usually fatten
we'll in close confinement. The best
plan is to fatten them in a medium
sized field which is in alfalfa or con-
tains stacks of alfalfa hay. Old corn
is much better than new corn as a
fattening feed. Be sure the corn is
not musty. Some turkey raisers
feed equal parts of corn, wheat, and
oats in the first part of the fattening
period and gradually change the ra-
tion to corn as the weather gets
cooler. At first, feed small quanti-
ties night and morning, keeping the
birds a little hungry, and gradually
increase the quantity. The week be-
fore killing, let the birds have all
they will eat three times a day.

HUNTERS URGED TO SPORT
TOGS OF BRIGHT HUI

With hunting seasons over the
country already opening or fast APP
preaching, game officials are issu-
ing the warning that today hunters
are often in as great danger as the
game they hunt. Last season sew
eral states reported a record toll
of deaths and injuries among hun
ters due to an increasing number Of
amateurs in the sporting ranks and
the sometimes crowded condition Ct
huntable areas, especially Cn hoii-
days, according to a bulletin of the
American Game Association.
Commissioner John H. Ross Of the
Missouri Game and Fish Depart
ment has pointed out that of the 40
persons fatally injured while hunt
ing last season, so were killed ny
their own or others firearms-four
by their own carelessness IN crawl
ing through fences.
Hunters are being advised to ham
die their guns with great care, to
hold their fire until they are po i
tive they see what they think they
see. to steer clear of the amateur
ish trick of shooting at moving
brush, to be careful of forest fire
and to dress distinctiyely in hunt
ing togs of bright color, preferably
red or white, to save themselves
from beinb mistaken for a deer, Il
turkey or even cottontail.
Last year several hunters died of
fright, starvation and exposure af-
ter being lost. Game officials, quot
ing experts i'll woods lore, advises !
that the first and most impo. tant !
thing for a person to remember
when he believes himself lost is to
stop where he is, compase himself,
and calmly try to orient himself
and then find his way out Where
The points of the compass are un-
known, it is always safe to locate
a stream and follow it down, as any
moving bit of water will finally lead

If not confident of his ability to
ind his way out he should build
ire and arrangehimself as comfort
ably as possible, discharge his gun
1t intervals, and wait for friends to
come to his rescue.
