NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. wm-VTH urn vvaiyKrw stmv RECAPTURED. Synopsis. Tlio author tells of lilt acquaintance with the hero of one of tho most remarkable adventures ever recorded. From a manuscript left by hlii friend he has vividly not out the strange happening which brotiKht together a bravo Virginian Eontlcman and a Princess of Mars, in the Arizona hills John Carter, mining prospector and cx-Confcd-erate soldier, flocltiK from a war party of Apaches, takes reftiKO In a cave the atmosphere of which han ii ramarkablo effect mi him. Yielding to Its Influence he sinks Into unconsciousness, his last thoughts contered on tho glow from the planet Mars. Awaking, Carter realizes that he has, In Home In comprehensible manner, been trans ported to Mars. He Is captured by Tars Tarkas and a party of Mar tian warriors, lie Is conveyed, a prisoner, to a Martian city. Three days later a fleet of airships from tho neighboring state of Helium Is uttacked by Carter's captors, the green Martians, One of the air ships is cuptured. Among the pris oners Is a young woman of a race dlfforont from the green Martluns and closely rosembllng the women of the earth. Carter ascertains that the fair prisoner's name is Dejah Thorls, granddaughter of the Jeddak, or ruler, of Helium. Ac cording to custom she In doomed to die by torture He fights for her and assures hor of his sympathy. John learns tho language and be comes a chieftain, though still a nomlnut prisoner. Dejah ts put In charge of Sola, a friendly woman. The two prisoners plan to escape before IJeJub Thorls is taken be fore the supreme rulor of tho green Martians, Tal Ilujue. John fights a sword duel to the death, tiolu tells her unluuo secret. CHAPTER IX Continued. 1 did not saddle or mount the nnl mnlH there, but instead walked quietly In (ho shadows of (ho buildings toward an unfrequented avenue which led to ward (he point where I had arranged to meet Dejah Thorls and Sola. With the nnlsclcssness of disembodied splrlls we moved Btealthlly alone tho desert ed streets, but not until wo wero with in sight of tho plain bfeyond the city did I commence to breatho freely. I waH wire that Sola and Deja ThorlH would find no dllllculty In reaching our rendezvous undetected, but with my great I bouts I was not so sure Tor my. Hclf, as It was quite unusual for war riors (p leavo (ho city after dark; In fact (here was no place for them to go wllhln any but a long ride. I reached the appointed meeting place safely, but as Dejuh ThorlH and Sola were not there I led my animals Into the entrance hull of one of the large buildings. Presuming that one of the other women of tho same house hold may have come In to speak to Sola, and so delayed their departure, I dtd not feel any undue apprehen sion until nearly an hour had passed without a hIkii of them, and by the (line another half hour had ennvled away I was becoming tilled with grave aiiNlely. Then there broke upon the silliness of the night the sound of an approaching party, which, from the noise, I know could be no fugitives creeping stealthily toward liberty. .Soon the party was near me, and from the black shadows of mv en trance way 1 perceived a score of mounted warriors, who, lu ptisslng, dropped a dozen words that fetched my heart clenn Into the top of my head. "He would likely have arranged to meet them Just without the city, and xo" I heard no more, they had passed on; but It was enough. Our plan had been discovered, and tho chances for escape from now on to the fearful end would be small Indeed. My ono hope now was to return unde tected to the quarters of Dejuh Thorls mid learn what fate bad overtaken her, hut how to do It with these great monstrous tbonts upon my bauds, now that tho city probah'ly was aroused by the knowledge of my escape, was a problem of no mean proportions. Suddenly nn Idea occurred to mo and, acting on my knowledge of tho con struction of the buildings of these un dent Martian cities with a hollow court within the center of each Miuiire, I groped my way blindly through the dark chambers, culling tho great thoats after inc. They had dllll cully lu negotiating somo of tho door ways, but as the buildings fronting the city's principal exposures were nil de signed upon u mugnlllcent scale, they were able to wriggle through without Htlcl.-Ing fast; and thus ve finally made the Inner court where I found, jih 1 hud expected, tho usual carpet of jiionk-II!c vegetation which would Imvt) tholr food and drink until I could return thoin to their own en closure. Removing (he saddle trappings, I bid (hem Just within the rear doorway of the building through which we bad entered tho court and, turning the Ibeasts looio, quickly nmdo my way Across tho court to (be rear of the fry V FdgarltkcBtmxmglis AutKoi of Tavzatx Of Tfie Apes Illui'trattonj by IRWIN MYE1W 4 .McClorg ond Company buildings upon the further side, and thence lo the avenue beyond. With only the slight chance of detection which the necessary crossing of the avenues entailed, I made my way In safety to the courtyard In the rear of Dejah Thorls' quarters. Here, of course, I found the beasts of the warriors who quartered In the adjacent buildings, and tho warriors themselves I might expect to meet within If t entered; hut, fortunately for me, I had another ami safer meth od of reaching the upper story where DeJnh Thorls should be found, and, after first determining as nearly us possible which of the buildings sho oc cupied, for I hnd never observed them before from the court side, I took ad vantage of my relatively great strength and agility and sprang up ward until I grnsped the sill of a second-story window which I thought to be In the rear of her apartment. Draw lug myself Inside the room I moved stealthily toward the front of the building, and not until I bad quite reached the doorway of her room was I innde aware by voices that It was oc cupied. I did not rush headlong lu, but Us tuned without to assure myself that It was Dejah Thorls and that it was safe to venture within. It wns well, Indeed, that I took this precaution, for the conversation I benrd was lu the low gutturals of men, and the words which finally came to me proved a most time ly warning. The speaker was a chief tain and he was giving orders to four of his warriors, "And when he returns to tills chnin her," he was saying, "as be surely will, when he llnds she docs not meet him at the city's edge, you four are to spring upon him and disarm him. When you have him fast bound beur him to the vaults beneath the Jcddak's quarters and chain him securely where he tnny be found when Tal llujus wishes him. There will be no danger of the girl returning, for by this time she Is safe In the arms of Tal Hajus, and may all her ancestors havo pity upon her. for Tal Hajus will have none; (lie great Sarkoja has done n noble night's work. I go, and If you full to capture lilm when be comes, I commend your carcasses to tho cold bosom of Iss." CHAPTER X. A Costly Recapture. As the speaker ceased ho turned to leave tho apartment h.v the door where .1 was standing, but I needed to wait no longer; I had beard enough to till my soul with dread, and stealing quiet ly away I returned to the courtyard by the way I hud come. My plan or ac tion was formed upon the Instant and, crossing the squuro and the bordering avenue upon tho opposite side, I soon stood wllhln the courtyard of Tal Ha jus. I glanced up nt tho stories above, discovering that tho third was appar ently unllghted, and so decided to make my entrance to the building from Hint point. It wns the work of hut a moment for me to reach the windows above, and soon I had drawn myself within the sheltering shadows of the unllghted tloor. Kortunalely the room I had selected was untenanted, and creeping noiseless ly to (be corridor beyond 1 discovered a light In the apartments ahead of me. Ueachlng what appeared to be a door way 1 discovered that It was but an opening upon an Immense Inner cham ber which towered from the (list lloor, two stories below me, to (hu dome-like roof of the building, high above my bead. The lloor of this great circular .hall was thronged with chieftains, war Uors and women, and at one end was a great raised platform upon which squatted the most hideous beast 1 had ever put my eyes upon. He hud all the cold, hard, cruel, terrible features of the green warriors, but accentuated and debased by the animal passions to which he bad given himself oyer for many years. There was not a mnrk of dignity or pride upon his bestial coun- tenonce, while his enormous bulk spread Itself out upon tho platform, where ho squatted like somo huge devil llsh, his six limbs accentuating (ho similarity lu a horrible and star tliug manner. Hut the sight that froze mo with up prehension was that of Dejah Thorls and bola standing tboro before him and the tlendlsh leer of him na ho let his groat protruding eyes gloat upon tbu lines of her beautiful llgure. She stood (here erect before him, her head high held, and even at tho distance I was from thorn I could read the scorn and disgust upon her face as she let her haughty glance rest without sign of fear upon him. Presently Tal Hajus made a sign that the chamber he cleared, and that tho prisoners be left alone with him Slowly the chieftains, the warriors and the women melted away Into tlu shadows of the surrounding chambers, and DpJhIi Thorls and Sola slood alone before (he Jeddnk of the Tharks. One chleftnln alone had hesitated before departing; I saw him standing In the shadows of a mighty column, his fingers nervously toying with the hilt of his great sword nnd his cruel eyes bent In Implacable hatred upon Tal Ilnjufr. It was Tars Tarltas, and I could read his thoughts as If they were an open book, for tho uudls gulse.d loathing upon Ids face. lie was thinking of that other woman who, forty yen I'd ago, had stood before this boast, and could I hnve spoken a word Into bis ear at that moment the reign of Tal Ilnjux would have been over; btlt finally he also strode from tho room, not knowing that he left his own daughter at the mercy of the creature be most loathed, Tal Hajus nrose, nnd I, half fearing, half anticipating his Intentions, hur ried to the winding runwny which led to the floors below. No one was near to Intercept me, and I reached the main floor of the chamber unobserved, taking my station In the shadow of (lie same column that Tars Tarkas had but Just deserted. Ah f reached the floor Tal Hajus was speaking. "Princess of Helium. I might wring a mighty ransom from your people would I but return you to them un harmed, but a thousand times rather would I watch that beautiful face writhe In the agouy of torture ; It shall be long drawn out, thnt I promise you; ten days of pleasure were all too short to show the love I harbor for yoTir race. The terrors of your death shall haunt the slumbers of the red men through 'all the ages to come; they will shudder In the shadows of the night as their fathers tell them of (he awful vengeance of the green men ; of the power and might and hate and cruelty of Tal Hajus. Hut before that torture you shall be mine for one short hour, and word of that too shall go forth to Tnrdos Mors, Jeddak of Helium, your grandfather, that he may grovel upon the ground In the agony of his sorrow. Tomorrow the torture will commence; tonight thou art Tal Hajus'; cornel" He sprang down from the platform and grusped her roughly by the arm, but scarcely lind he touched her than I leaped between them. My short- In the Same Deathly Silence I Grasped Dejah Thorls by the Hand. sword, sharp and gleaming, was In my right hand; I could have plunged It Into his putrid heart before lie realized that 1 was upon htm; but as I raised my arm to strike I thought of Tars Tarkas, and, with all my rage, with all my hatred, I could not rob him of that sweet moment for which he had lived and hoped all these long, weary years, and so, Instead, I swung my good right list full upon the point of his Jaw. Without u sound he slipped to the lloor as one dead. In the same deathly silence I grasp ed Dejah Thorls by the band nnd, mo tioning to Sola to follow, we sped noiselessly from the chamber and to tho iloor above. Unseen we reached a rear window and with the straps nnd leather of my trnpplngs I lowered first Sola and then Dejah Thorls to the ground below. Dropping lightly after them I drew them rapidly around the court lu the shadows of tho buildings, and thus we returned over the same course 1 had so recently followed from the distant boundary of the city. We finally came upon my thoats In the courtyard whero I had left them, and placing tho trappings Upon them we hastened through tho building to the avenue beyond. Mounting, Sola upon one beast, nnd Dejah Thorls be hind me upon the other, wo rode from the city of Thurk through the hills to the south. No word was spoken until we bad left the city far behind, but I could hear the quiet sobbing of Dejah Thorls us she clung to mo with her denr head resting against my shoulder. "If we mnke it, my chleftnln, the tlobt of Helium will be a mighty one; greater than sho can o'er pay you; and should we not make it," she con tinned, "Iho debt Is no less, though Helium will never know, for you hnve saved tho last of our llnu from worse (ban death." I did not answer, but Instead reached to my side nnd pressed tlu little lingers of her I loved, where they cluug to mo for support, and then, in unbroken silence, wo sped over tho yel low. moonlit moss; each of us occu f led with bis own thoughts. Our earlier plnns hnd boon so sadly tipKtt that we now found ourselve without food or drink, and I alone was nrnied. We therefore urged our beasts to a speed thnt must (ell on them sore ly before we could hope to sight the ending of the first utage of our Journey. We rode all night and nil the follow Ing dny with only n few short rests. On the second night both wc nnd our nnlmnls were completely fagged, nnd so we lay down upon tho moss and slept for some five or six hours, taking up the Journey once more before day light, All the following dny we rode, and when, Info In (bo nfternoon, wc had sighted no distant trees, the mark of tho great waterways throughout nil Bnrsoom, the terrible truth flashed upon us we -were lost. Evidently we bad circled, but which way It wns dlfllcult to say, nor did it seem possible with the sun to guide us by day and the moons nnd stnhf by night. At any rate no waterway was in sight, nnd the entire party was al most ready to drop from hunger, thirst and futlguc. Far nheail of us nnd a trifle to the right we could distinguish the outlines of low mountains. These we decided to nttempt to reach in the hope that from some ridge we might discern the missing waterway. Night fell upon us before we reached our goal and, almost fainting from weari ness and weakness, we lay down und slept. I wns awakened enrly In the morn ing by some huge body pressing close to mine, and opening my eyes with a Ktart I beheld my blessed old Wooln snuggling close to me; the faithful brute had followed us across that trackless waste to share our fate, whatever It might be. Putting my arms about his neck, I pressed my cheek close to his, nor ntn I ashamed that I did It, nor of tho tears that came to my eyes as I thought of his love for me. Shortly after this Dejah Thorls nnd Sola awakened, and It wns decid ed that we push on at once In nn effort to gain the hills. We hnd gone scarcely a mile when 1 noticed thnt my thoat was com mencing to stumble and stugger In n most pitiful mnnncr, although we had not attempted to force them out of a walk since ubout noon of the preced ing day. Suddenly he lurched wildly to one side nnd pitched violently to the ground. Dejah Thorls and I were thrown clear of him and fell upon the soft moss with scarcely a Jar; but the poor beast was In a pitiable condition,, not even being able to rise, although relieved of our weight. Sola told me that the coolness of the night, when It fell, together with the rest, would doubtless revive him, nnd so I decided not to kill him, ns was my llrst inten tion, as I had thought It cruel to leave him alone there to die of hunger and thirst. We left the poor fellow to his fate and pushed on with the one thoat as best we could. Sola and I walked, making DeJnh Thorls ride, much against her will. In this way we had progressed to within about a mile of the hills We were endeavoring to reach when DeJnh Thorls, from her point of vantage upon the thoat, cried out that she saw a great party of mounted men filing down from a pass In the hills several miles away. Sola and I both looked lu the direction she Indicated, and there, plainly discernible, wero several hundred mounted warriors. They seemed to be headed in a south westerly direction, which would take them awuy from us. Thoy doubtless were Thurk war riors who hnd been sent out to cap ture us, and we breathed a great sigh of relief that they were traveling In the opposite direction. Quickly lifting Dejuh Thorls from the thont, I com manded the nnlmal to lie down and we three did the same, presenting ns small an object as possible for fear of at tracting the attention of the wnrrlors toward us. As what proved to be the last war rior came Into view from the pnssT he halted and, to our consternation, threw his smnll but powerful lletdgluss to his eye and scanned the sea bottom In tilt directions. As his glass swung toward us our hearts stopped In our breasts and 1 could feel the cold sweat start "from every pore In my body. Presently It swung full upon us and stopped. Then hu lowered It and we could see him shout a command to the wnrrlors who had passed from our sight behind the rhlge. He did not wait for them to join him, however; Instend he wheeled his thoiit and came tearing madly lu our direct loin. There was but ono slight chance and that we must take quickly. liais ing my strange Martian ride lo my shoulder I sighted nnd touched the button which controlled the trigger; there was a sharp explosion ns the missile rencbed Its goal, and the charg ing chleftnln pitched backward from b!s flying mount. Springing to my feet I urged the thoat to rise, and directed Sola to take Dejah Thorls with her upon 1dm and mnko a mighty effort to reach the hills before the green warriors were upon us. I knew thnt In tho ravines and gulllea they might find a temporary hiding place, nnd even though they died of hunger and thirst It would be better so than that they fell Into the hands of tho Tharks. Forcing my two revolvers upon them ns a slight means of protection, nnd, ns a last resort, as an escupe for themselves from the hor rid death which recapture would sure ly menu, I lifted Dejah Thorls In my arms nnd placed her upon the thoat be hind Soln, who hnd already mounted nt my command. "Oood-by, my princess," I whispered, "we muy meet lu Helium yet. I havo escaped from worse plights than this,' and I tried to smile us I Hod. "What," she cried, "are you not com Ing with us?" "How may I, DeJnh Thorls7 Somo one must hold these fellows off for n while, und I can better escupo them nlone tbnn could the throe of lis to gether." She sprang quickly from the thont and, throwing her dear arms nbout my neck turned to Sola, saying with quiet dignity: "Fly, Soln I Dejah Thorls re mains to die with the man alio loves." Those words are engraved upon tny heart. Ah, gladly would I gito up my life n thousand times could I only bear them once more; but I could not then give even n second to tho rapture of her sweet embrace, nnd pressing my lips to hers for the first time, I picked her up bodily nnd tossed her to her seat behind Sola agutti, commanding the latter In peremptory tones to bold her tlrerc by force, nnd them, slapping the thoat upon the flank, I saw them borne away; Dejah Thorls struggling to the Inst lo free herself from Sola's grnsp. Turning, I beheld the green war riors mounting tho ridge nnd looking for their chleftnln. In a moment they saw him, nnd then me; but senrcely hnd they discovered me than I com menccd firing, lying flat upon my belly In the moss. I kept up n continuous stream of fire until I saw all of tho warriors who had been first to return from behind the rldgo cither dead or scurrying to cover. My respite wns shortlived however, for soon the entire party, numbering some thousnnd men, came charging Into view, racing madly toward me. I fired until my rifle wns empty nnd they were almost upon me, nnd then u glnnce showing mo thnt Dejah Thorls nnd Soln bud disappeared among tho hills, I sprang up, throwing down niy useless gun, and stnrtcd away In tile direction opposite to that taken by Soln and her chnrgo. If ever Martians hnd an exhibition of jumping, It was grunted those ns tonlshed wnrrlors on that day long years ago, but while it led them nway from DeJnh Thorls It did not distract their attention from endeavoring to cupture me. They raced wildly after me until, flnnlly, my foot struck n projecting piece of quartz, and down I went sprnwllng upon the moss. As I looked up they were upon me. nnd although I drew tny longsword In nn nttempt to sell my life ns dearly as possible. It was soon over. I reeled beneath their blows which fell upon me In perfect torrents; my bend swam; nil was black, nnd I -went down beneath them to oblivion. 'CHAPTER XI. Chained in Warhoon. It must have been several hours be fore I regained consciousness. I wns lying nmong a pile of sleeping" silks and furs in the corner of n small room In which were several green wnrrlors, nnd bending over me was an ancient und ugly female. As I opened my eyes she turned to one of the warriors, saying: "He will live, O Jed." " 'TIs well,'.' replied the one so ad dressed, rising nnd approuchlng my couch, "he should render rare sport for the great games." And now as my eyes fell upon him. I saw that he wns no Thnrk, for his ornninents and metul were not of that horde. HeTvas a huge fellow, terribly scarred about the face and chest, and with one broken tusk nnd a missing ear. strapped on either breast were human skulls and depending from these a number of dried human hands. His reference to the-great games of which I had heard so much while nmong--the Tharks convinced me .that I had but Jumped from purgatory Into r.:hcnnn. r wns strapped securely to as wild and uumanageablc a thont as I had ever seen, and, with a mounted wnr rlor on either side to prevent the beast from bolting, wc rode forth at a furi ous pace In pursuit of the column. Just before dark we reached the main body of troops shortly after they had innde camp for the night. I wns Im mediately taken before the lender, who proved to be the Jeddak of the hordes of Warhoon. Like the Jed who hnd brought me, ho was frightfully senrred, and also decorated with the breastplato of hu man skulls and dried dead hands which seemed to mark all the greater warriors among the Wnrboons, as well as to Indicate their awful ferocity, which greatly transcends even that of the Tharks. Tho Jeddak, Bar Comas, who wns comparatively young, wns the object of the fierce nnd Jenlous hatred of his lieutenant, Dak Kova, the Jed who hnd captured me, and I could not but note the almost studied efforts which the latter made to affront his superior. He entirely omitted the usunl for mal tfulutntion as we entered the pres ence of the jeddak, and as he pushed me roughly before the ruler he ex clnlmed In n loud and menacing voice: "I havo brought a strange crenture wearing the metal of a Thnrk whom It Is my pleasure to hnve battle with a wild thont at the great games."
