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

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

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-

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
