He was Ken Jari. Thus the four -men constittited a group that. at- tracted attention from the populace as they entered a. carriage and were driven away. KEN Jari and Ken Mahu now took their charges to the:same institution in which Aticia had been. questioned on her arrival, This was the Por Lito, a place of scientific study and learning, a university: unlike anything they had ever seen, In the Por Lito the Earth-men were resented to Horo, the-aged scientist who dd discovered the amazing fact that Alicia had come from another world. But if Leonard ee had known that it was Horo who-had been-responsible for the incident on the landing field and for Alicia’s detention by the Kor of Osin, he could not have accepted the offer of the patriarch’s assistance as he did. It was well-for the adventurers ‘that: they could not yet know that Horo, master of ‘sci- ences and high priest of Osin, had, in duty to his sovereign, reported the coming of a maiden from another world, and had pointe! out to him how it was the ful- filment of a prophecy: and tradition that had come down through the ages. Horo it was who headed the: institution of the Por Lito. And-it was he who now undertook, in the interest of further: sci- entific ‘discovery, to. evolve a method: of intellizible communication with the visi- tors from the Earth, which was known on Mars ( or Turinia): as Sjor.* For had not the Kor of Osin ordered the quickest. progress in this direction of which Horo and his staff of instructors were capable, and was not the Sjorian maiden already a student at the Por Lito? Horo accordingly welcomed: the Earth- men to the Por Lito, where he now seemed as one transformed, revitalized. His eagerness brightened his eyes and quickened his step.. He*had lived through many generations, but this experience was the greatest of his lifetime. Fhe prophecy had actually come true—human_ beings from another world had come to Turinia | It was the greatest day of his long life. Ken Jari and Ken Mahu, who were flying captains and whose title of “Ken” was the proudest possession of any young Martian, as the -men were to dis- cover, found quarters for the Sjorian visi- tors m the building itself, But Horo, who had given: them: brief_ instructions, could not bring “himself to leave the Earth-men, so he joined the group and made certain that Ins charges were com- fortably disposed. The old man lingered there with them for some time, akhough he could ‘not yet communicate a single thought to these daring. adventurers, who, in his opinion, had eclipsed-anything* ever yet attempted by any men of any planet in all the solar: system. At last, however, Horo bowed himself out of the comfortable quarters in which Ken Jari and Ken Mahw had established the visitors, and the Earth-men. were alone. Randolph looked searchingly at his friend as the Martians left them, and was glad to note that Fry seemed fess wor- ried since meeting Horo. He, himself, had also experienced a change in feeling, Both Ken Jari and Ken Mahn, hand- some, cotrteous- fellows, had shown marked. friendliness, and Horo had been positively enthusiastic over his contact with them. “The Martians eas this with a hissing sound as though they were pronouncing George with an § in front.
