TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS “TARZ AN 5 TlSf APES’*

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE u \TOW," said Stellara, “we can 1 N go no further"; nor indeed could they, for east and west and north stretched a great, sullen sea and along the shore line at their feet great Ice cakes rose and fell with sullen roars and loud reports as the sea ground the churning mass. For long time David mnes, emperor of Pellucidar, stood staring ou'j across that vast and desolate waste of water. '"What lies beyond?” he murmured to himself, and then, shaking his head, he turned away. ■Come," he said, “let us strike back for Sari.” His companions received Ms words with shouts of joy. Smiles replaced the half-troubled expressions that had marked their drawn faces since the moment that they had discovered that their beloved noonday sun was being left behind them. . With light stops, with laughter and joking, they faced the long, arduous Journey that lay ahead of them. During the second march, after they had turned back from the northern eea, Gura discovered a strange object to the left of their Une of march. “It looks as though it might be some queer sort of native hut,” she said. “We shall have to investigate it ” said David, and the five made their way to the 6ide of the strange object. It was a large, heavy, wicker basket that lay inverted upon the barren ground. All about It were the rotted remnants of cordage. At David’s suggestion, the men turned the basket over upon its side. Beneath they found well-preserved remnants of oiled silk and a net”*ork of fine cord. "What is it?" asked Stellara. “It is the basket and all that remains of the gas bag of a balloon,” said David. “What is a balloon,” asked the girl, “and how did it get here?” **T CAN explain what a balloon is," X said David; “but if I were positive that I was correct in my conjecture as to how it came here, I would hold the answer to a thousand questions that have puzzled the mn of the outer crust for ages.” For a long time he stood silently contemplating the -weather-worn basket. His mind submerged in thought was-oblivious to all else. “If I only knew,” he mused. “If I only knew, and yet how else could it have come here? What else could that red disc upon the horizon of the sea have been other than the midnight sun of the Arctic regions?” . “What in the world are you talking about?" demanded Gura. “The poor devils,” mused David, apparently oblivious of the girl’s presence. “They made a greater discovery than they could have hoped for in their wildest dreams. I wonder if they lived to realize It?” Slowly he removed his fur cap-ahd stood facing the basket with bowed head, and for some unaccountable reason, which they could not explain, his companions bared their heads and followed his example. And after they had resumed their journey it was a long time before David Innes could shake off the effects of that desolate reminder of one of the world’s most pathetic tragedies. So anxious were the members of the party to reach the cheering warmth of their beloved Pellucidar that they pressed on toward the ? outh with the briefest of rests; nor were they wholly content until once more their shadows lay directly beneath them. 8 8 St SARI lying slightly east of south, their return from the north took them over a different route from that which they had followed up from Korsar. Os course the Pellucidarians did not know these points of compass as north or south, and even David Innes carried them in his mind more in accordance with the Pellucldarian scheme than that with which he had been familiar upon the outer crust. Naturally, with the sun always at zenith and with no stars and no moon and no planets, the Pellucidarians have been compelled to evolve a different system of indicating direction than that with which we are familiar. By instinct they know the direction in which their own country lies and each Pellucidarian reckons all directions from this base line,

*nd he indicates- other directions in a simple and ingenious manner. Suppose you were from Sari and were traveling from the Ice girt sea above Korsar to any point upon Pellucidar, you would set and maintain your course in this manner. Extend the fingers of your right hand and. hold it In a horizontal position, palm down, directly in front of your body, your little finger pointing in the direction of Sari—a direction which you know by Instinct—and your thumb pointing to the left directly at right angles to the line In which your litle finger -s pointing. Now spread your left hand in the same way and lower it on top of your right hand, so that the little finger of your left hand exactly covers the little finger of your right hand. You will now see the fingers and thumbs of jfour two hands cover an arc of 180 degrees. u m u SARI lies southeast of Korsar, while The Land of Awful Shadow lies due south. Therefore a Sarian pointing in the direction toward The Land of Awful Shadow would say that he was traveling two left fingers from Sari, since the middle finger of the left hand would be pointing about due south toward The Land of Awful Shadow. If he were going in the opposite direction, or north, he merely would add the word “back,” saying that he was traveling two left fingers back from Sari, so that by this plan every point of compass Is roughly covered, and with sufficient accuracy for all the requirements of the primitive Pellucidarians. The fact that when one is traveling to the right of his established base line and indicates it by mentioning the fingers of his left hand might, at first, be deemed confusing, but having followed this system for ages, it Is perfectly intelligible to the Pellucidarians. When they reached a point at

WALKER TO RELIGHT ENGLISH’S FRIDAY Producer Will Bring Fine Cast in ‘lt's a Wise Child' for a Two-Day Comedy Engagement. , TJ RINGING his original cast and production, Stuart Walker of Cincinnati, will present the Belasco comedy hit, “It’s a Wise Child,” at the English theater on Friday and Saturday, with a matinee performance on Saturday at popular prices. The play concerns a modem young girl who falls in love with a young man her own age, and attempts to break her engagement to an older and entirely undesirable, suitor by the simple expedient f pretending that she is about to become an unwed mother. The ruse scares off the elderly fiance, but it also spoils her chances with the young man and before she finally confesses the truth, the social and business life of the town is threatened with disaster.

Helen Claire will have the principal feminine role, and others in the cast include Victor Jory, Raymond Jones, Annabel Nation, Robert Bruce. Aldrich Bowker, Judith Lowry, Fred Stewart, Eleanor Shaler and William Lawson. tt m BIG EVENT DUE AT CIRCLE The world premiere of “Father's Son” will take place Friday evening at 8 o’clock at the Circle theater. Asa means of paying tribute to Booth Tarkington, Indiana’s foremost author, who wrote the original story on which this picture is based, the producers of the film have released it early exclusively to Indianapolis so that the first showing in all the world of the production rrflght take place in the noted novelist’s own home city. A First National Vitaphone film, it will play an engagement of one week here. “Cimarron,” which is now playing at the Circle, will be shown for the final time Thursday aftenioon, starting at 4 o’clock. At its conclusion, the theater will close until 7:30 p. m. The box office will remain open, however, to accommodate persons wishing to obtain tickets in advance for the night performance and opening of “Father’s Son.” The first evening show begins at 8 o’clock and the second one at 10 o’clock. There will be no advanced prices or reserved seats. A number of seats are to be held for the special guests of the evening such as city and state officials, noted Indiana authors, and others prominent socially and in the business world. “Father's Son” is the story of a typical American boy and his joys and troubles. Leon Janney has the leading role. Mickey Bennett, Irene

which the city of Korsar lay three right fingers back from Sail, they were, la reality, due east of the Korsar city. They now were in fertile, semi-tropical land teeming with animal life. The men were armed with pistols as well as spears, bows and arrows, and knives; while Stellara and Gura carried light spears and knives, and seldom was there a march that did not witness an encounter with one or more of the savage beasts of the primeval forests, verdure-clad hills, or rolling plains across which their journey led them. They long since had abandoned any apprehension of pursuit or capture by th.i Korsars and while they had skirted the distant hinterland claimed by Korsar and had encountered some 0“ the natives upon one or two occasions, they had seen no member of the ruling class, with the result that for the first time since they had fallen into the clutches of the enemy they felt a sense of unquestioned freedom. And though the other dangers that beset their way might appear appalling to one of f'e outer world, they had no such effect upon any one of the five, whose experience of life had tended to make them wholly self-reliant, and, while constantly alert and watchful, unoppressed by the possibility of future calamity. When danger suddenly confronted them, they were ready to meet it. After it had passed they did not depress their spirits by anticipating the next encounter.

Husband and Wifi Dies By Timet Special BEDFORD, Ind., Feb. 19.—Within two hours, William F. Maroney, 70, and his wife, Mary, died at their home here.

Rich, Lewis Stone, Bertha Mann, John Halliday and Robert Dandridge—who plays the part of the little colored boy known as Vestibule Pullman Jackson—are also in the cast. William Beaudine, director of Tarkington’s “Penrod and Sam,” as a silent film, had charge of the direction of "Father’s Son.” A Dale Young organ solo and an array of short films will be supplementary attractions on the Circle’s program. a # Indianapolis theaters today offer: Jimmie Hall at the Indiana, “Cimarron” at the Circle, Baby Rose Marie at the Lyric, “Sin Takes a Holiday” at the Ohio, “Illicit” at the Apollo, “The Devil to Pay” at the Palace, movies at the Colonial, and burlesque at the Mutual.

The girl greeted the three newcomers pleasantly. The Spaniard gave them a surly nod. Upon Karl Kraski, the young Russian, Esteban scowled his jealous hate. It was plain that Flora fancied this dark-eyed, supple youth with the mop of curly brown hair, who had been a dancer in the imperial ballet of the czar before the revolution had caused him to turn rogue. A fresh round of drinks were ordered, they talked of unimportant things at first, then this meeting of mystery got down to business. .. . . .' v. . ■

“Now,” said the toughest looking fellow, “ ere we all are, Flora.’* His name was Pee. ,'cs and he spoke with a strong Cockney accent. “We ’ave everything—the plans, the money and Senor Esteban. So we’re Jolly well ready for your part of it, al* dear. When do we start?” “How much money have you raised?” asked the girl. “You know I told you I wouldn’t have anything to do with a bunch of cheap Skates. Unless you’ve got 2,000 pounds, yoif don’t get the maps and data that will make the world’s richest men.” ‘

“Forget it, Flora,” said the fellow who had been silent up to now. “We’ve got the cash.” He drew a map from his pocket and spread it on the table. He handed the girl a pencil and she searched out a spot some distance in the interior of Africa. Marking it with an “X” she said calmly, “When we all reach here you shall have the Aral directions. And not before." This idea met with little favor from the bunch of crooks. The girl ro6e leisurely. “Oh, very well,” she said with a shrug. “If you feel that way, let’s c&U it oil.”

If I give you all the information I have, there is nothing in the world that could prevent you from going ahead and leaving me out in the cold. I don’t intend that this shall happen—not by a long shot.” So they argued and quarreled far into the night As they prepared to depart Peebles remarked, “Remember, if you try .to doq jle-cro6s us, Flora ...” He made a movement across, his throat that spoke for itself.
