Y. < <aes = AIR WONDER STORIES The Bat-Men of Mars (Continued from page 1035) Alicia leaned forward eagerly, made as though to arise and greet her friends, Fry, his love for her shining in his eyes, reached out his arms to her. But the scientist was due for a rude awakening. Two . powerftul- Martians, standing beside the carriage, thrust:them- selves. between the. girl and her lover. And 'a heavy scowl settled over the al- ready stern features of the Kor of Osin. Neither Fry nor Randolph: understood the reason for this demonstration. So,.as the scientist made another effort to reach the girl, he .was: amazed: and: infuriated when, at a sharp order from. the person- age in the carriage, the two powerful Martians again seized -him, It was now that Henry Randolph went into action, hurling himself upon the two Martians and bearing them to the ground. Others- came, and the—huge ~Earth-men fought them off. their feet. Together he and Fry soon.cleared a space about them. But their enjoyment of.it-was brief, More Martian guardsmen joined in the struggle which could have-but one ending. The Earth-men. were. overpowered. There stood between the adventurers and the royal carriage a dozen tall Mar- tian guardsmen, whose attitude toward them, while not threatening, indicated be- yond doubt that they should not be. per- mitted to approach the girl, No harm had been done them, but'they were given to understand that they were under a taboo with regard to contact with Alicia, Fry turned to his friend. He had seen no ohe else in the carriage but Alicia and the Kor of Osin, of whose identity he was, of course, ignorant, “This looks bad, Randolph!” he cried. “What do you make of itr” “Itis strange,” admitted the other, “but there’s nothing we can do. Perhaps we'd better wait awhile and see what happens.” As the carriage moved away the scien- tist turned againzfor one fleeting glimpse of the girl he loved: He saw her white, scared face for just a moment and then she was gone. But he called out to her before the guardsmen could silence him. “Whatever happens, Alicia,” he shouted, “we shall be working to aid you. I love you, darling!” “And I love you, Leonard, with my whole heart!” called Alicia, at which the Kor of Osin bent toward her, scowling his disapproyal. He- had: not’ understood her words, but it displeased him that this woman from another world should hold speech with any but himself. The moment the Kor's carriage moved away, the Martians who -had piloted the adventurers-to the city of Hio made.-signs that-they, were to accompanyhim. There was nothing to do but consent. Besides, as they-could: not ‘fail to observe, he was openly friendly, perhaps even sympathetic. Fry wished to re-enter the projectile, but the Martian shook his head at this. He smiled in friendliness, however, as-he stepped between Him and. the craft, while ze guardsmen- about it tightened. their es, R ESIGNING themselves to.their guide because there seemed to be nothing else they could do, they awaited his pleas- ure. They were joined immediately by another. youthful Martian of about the type of the first, Both wore uniforms, and the Earth-men. concluded they were acting in-some official capacity. The-pilot, easy of manner, introduced his friend, Ken Mahu, who,.in turn, after bowing low in-acknowledgment, presented by name the pilot-who had escorted them (Continued on page 1053) for MAGAZINES and NEWSPAPERS HERE is no more gratifying way to gain celebrity and add to your income than by writing.
