I'm going to be their king next week, and they'll do anything I say. Come on out!" "I'm afraid we shall have to decline," answered the professor. The machinist began a rambling talk, and the scarlet-cloaked figure stepped forward. He spoke slowly, using simple words in the Martian tongue, such as he knew the travelers could understand. "My name is Zun Flor," he began.
Selingman, who was leaning back in a leather-padded chair and smoking a very excellent cigar, looked around at his companions with a smile of complete approval. "Our host," he declared, bowing to Mr. Grex, "has surpassed himself. For a hired yacht I have seen nothing more magnificent.
