The head, with the exception of the face,- was covered by a tangled mass Its Hairless Body Was of a Strange arid Ghoulish Blue. ..... of jet black hair some eight or ten Inches In length. Each hair was about the bigness of a large angleworm, and as the thing moved the mUsCleS of Its ( scalp this awful head covering seemed to writhe and .wriggle and crawl about the fearsome face as though Indeed each separate hair wag endowed with independent life.. ' ; V . The body and the )egs were, as sym metrically human as nature could have fashioned them, and the feet, too, were human in shape, but of monstrous pro portions.. From heel to toe they were fully three feet long and very flt And very broad. " As it came quite close to me I dis covered that Its strange-' movements, running Its odd hands over the surface of the turf, were the result of Its pe culiar method of feeding, which con sists in cropping off the tender vegeta tion with its razor-like talons and suck ing it up from jts two mouths, which lie one in ' the palm of . each hand, through its armlike throats. , In addition to the features which I have Already described, the beast was equipped with a massive tail about six feet in length, quite round , where it joined the body, but tapering to a flat!, thin blade toward' the end, which trail ed at right angles to the ground. ; CHAPTER II. - A Strange Meeting. S I had been scrutinizing this weird monstrosity the balance of the herd had fed quite close A Fearsome; looking as they were, I did Dot know whether to fear them or not, for they did not seem to be particu larly well equipped for fighting. Y I was, in fact, on the point of step ping from my hiding place and reveal ing myself tp them to note the effect upon them of the sight of a man when nay rash resolve was, fortunately for me, nipped In the bud by a strange shrieking wail which seemed to come from the direction of the bluffs at my right.' ;' ; : - - r - 7 -: Naked and unarmed1 as I Was, my end would have been both speedy and horrible at the hands of these cruel creatures, but At the. moment of , the ahriek each member of the herd turned in the direction of theusound, and at the same instant every ; particular snakelike hair upon their heads rose stiffly perpendicular as if each had been a sentient organism looking or "stening ror tne source or meaning or the wail And Indeed the latter proved to be the truth, for this strange growth upon the cranium of the plant men, of Bar soom represents the thousand ears of these hideous, creatures, the last rem nant of the strange race which sprung from the original tree of life. Instantly every eye turned toward one member of the herd, a large fellow who evidently was the leader. A strange purring sound issued from the mouth In the palm of one of his hands, and it the same time he started rapid ly toward the bluff, followed by the entire herd. - 7 y Their speed and method of locomo- tion were both remarkable, springing, as they did, in great leaps or twenty or thirty feet, much after the manner of a kangaroo. i j They were rapidly disappearing when it occurred to me to follow them, and so, hurling caution to 'the winds, 1 sprang across the meadow in their wake with leap3 and bounds even more prodigious than their own, for the mus cles of nn athletic earth man produce remarkable results when pitted against the lesser gravity and air pressure of Mars. Their way led directly foward the apparent source, of the river ,at the base of tbe cliffs, and as I neared this poia. I fesr"?. meadow dotted with huge bowlders dislodged from tne tow ering crags above. ' . For this reason I came quite close to the cause of the disturbance before the scene broke upon my horrified gaze. As I topped a great bowlder 1 saw the herd of plant men surrounding a little group of perhaps five or six green men and women of Barsoom. That I was indeed upon Mars I now had no doubt, for here were member of the wild hordes that people the dead sea bottoms and desertod cities of, that dying planet. Here were the great males towering iii all the majesty of their imposing height; hero were the gleaming white tusks protruding from their massive lower jaws d a point near the center ' - of their foreneads; the laterally placed, protruCing iyes, witi wLIci they could look forward or backward or to either side without turning their heads; here the strange antenna elike ears ris ing from the tops of .their foreheads and the additional pair of arms ex tending from midway between the shoulders and the hips. Even without the glossy green bide and the metal ornaments which de noted the tribes to which they belong ed I. would have known them on the instant for what they were, for where else in all the universe Is their like duplicated? There were two men and four fe-, males in the - party, and their orna ments denoted them as members of different hordes. The facts puzzled me, since the va rious! hordes of green men of Barsoom are eternally at war with one another, and never had I seen green Martians 1 of different hordes associated in other than mortal combat, sate on that his toric instance when the great Tars Tarkas of Thark gathered , 150,000 green warriors from several hordes to march upon the doomed city of Zodan ga and rescue Dejah Thoris, princess of Helium, from the clutches of Than Kosis. Bit now they stood back to back, facing in wide eyed amazement the very evidently hostile demonstrations of a common enemy. ' ' Both men and women were armed with long swords and daggers, but rio firearms were in evidence, else It had been short shift for the grewsome plant men of Barsoom.. 1 ' ' Presently the leader of the , plant toen charged the little party, and his method of attack was as remarkable as it was effective 'and by its very strangeness was the more potent, since in the science of the green warriors there was no defense for this singular manner ,of attack. - - The plant man charged , to within a dozen feet of the "party and then, with a bound, rose as though to pass direct ly above their heads. His powerful tall was raised high to one ide, and as he passed close above them he brought It down in one terrific sweep that crushed a green warrior's skull as though it had been an eggshell. The balance of the frightful herd was now circling rapidly and with be wildering speed about the little knot of Victims. Their prodigious bounds and the shrill screeching pur of their un canny mouths were well calculated to confuse and terrorize their prey, so that as two of them leaped simultaneously from either side the mighty a weep of those awful tails met with no resist ance, and two more green Martians went down to an ignoble death. ' There were now but one warrior ana two females left, and it seemed that it could be but a matter .of Seconds ere these also lay dead upon the sward. But, as two or more of the, plant men charged, the warrior, who was now pre pared by the , experiences' of the past few minutes, swung his mighty long sword aloft and met the hurtling bulk with a clean cut that clove one of the plant men from chin to groin. , The other, however, dealt a single blow with his cruel tail that laid both of the females crushed corpses upon the ground. 1 'V-.- ', As the green warrior saw the last of his companions' go down and at the same time perceived that the entire herd was charging him in a body Jhe rushed boldly to meejt (them, swinging his long sword in the terrific manner that I had so;often seen, the men of his kind wield it, in their ferocious and al most continual warfare among their own race. : , . , Cutting and hewing to right and left, he laid an ppen path straight through the advancing plant men and then commenced a mad race for the forest, in the shelter 1 of which he evidently hoped he might find a haven of refuge. He had turned for that portion of the forest which abutted on the cliffs, and thus the flight was taking the entire party farther and farther from the bowlder where I lay concealed. As. I had watched the flight which the great warrior had made against such odds -my heart had. swelled for him, and acting as I am Wont to do, more upon impulse than after mature deliberation, I sprang from my shel tering rock and bounded , quickly to ward the bodies of the dead green Martians, a well defined plan of action already formed. , Half a dozen great leaps brought me to the spot, and another instant saw me again in my stride in sapid pursuit of the hideous monsters that were rap idly gaining on the fleeing warrior. But this time I grasped a mighty long sword in my xhand, and In my heart was the olf blood lust of the fighting man. ' . . A red mist swam before my eyes, and I felt my lips respond to my heart In the old smile that has marked me in the midst of the Joy of battle. - Though swift, I was none too soon, for the green warrior htd been over taken before ho had made halt the dis tance to the forest, and sow he stood with his back to ti fcowJder, while the herd, temporarily balkd, hissed and' screeched about him. With their single eyes in the center of their heads and every eye turned upon their prey, thay did not note my soundless approach, so that I was upon them with my great long sword, and four of them lay dead before they knew that I was among them. For an instant they recoiled before my terrIGa onslaught, sad in that in stant tb green warrior rose to the oc casiou and, springing to my side, lay to the right and left of him as I bad never seen but one otber. warrior do. With clrclinz strokes that formed a i figure 8 about htm he did 'not -atop-j , until none stood living to oppose mm. iihis keen blade passing through flesh and bone as though each had been, alike, thin air. ! As we bent to the slaughter , far above U9 rose that shrill, weird cry which I had heard once before and which had called the herd to the at- , tack upon their victims. Again and again It rose, but we were too much engaged with the fierce, powerful crea tures about us to attempt to search,' out even with our eyes tho author of the horrid notes. Great tails lashed in frenzied anger about us, razor-like talons cut our limbs and bodies, and a groen and sticky sirup, such as oozes from a crushed caterpillar, smeared us from ' head to foot, for every cut and thrust of our long swords brought apurts ef this stuff upon us from the severed I . arteries of the plant men. through; which it courses in its sluggish viscid ity in lieu of blood. Once I felt the great weight of one of the monsters upon my back, and aa keen talons sank Into my flesh I ex- -perienced the frightful sensation of moist Hps sucking the blood from then wounds to which' the claws still clung. I was very much engaged with a f e- j rocio us fellow who was endeavoring to J reach my throat from in front while ; two more, one oa either side, ' were' ' lashing viciously at me with their tails.' ' The green warrior -was much put to : It to hold his own, and I felt that the 1 unequal struggle could last but a mo ment longer when the huge fellow dls- ' covered my plight, and, tearing himself ' from those that surrounded him, ha raked the assailant from my back with a sweep of his blade, and, thus reliev- ed, I had little difficulty with the oth ers. ' ''Y " ! Once together we stood almost back' to back against the great bowlder, and ' thus the creatures were prevented from soaring above us to deliver their, : deadly blows. Aa we were easily their; , match while they remained upon thd ground we 'Were making great head, way in dispatching what remained of them when our attention was again ! attracted by the shrill wail of the call 1 er above our heads. ' . ' 1 : This time I glanced up, and far abov . us upon a little 'natural balcony on tba I face of the cliff stood a strange figura of a man shrieking out, his shrill if; nal, while he waved a hand In tha di rection of the river's mouth, aa though ' beckoning to come one there.

" J w ; : f.

"Look.", As he shot a quick glance In the di rection V indicated he smiled. "We may at least die fighting and as great warriors should, John Carter," he replied. . , , We had justf finished the last of our immediate antagonists as' he spoke, and I turned in surprised" wonderment . at the sound of my name.'
