and then refer in the margin to Horace, or whoever said it; or, if you allude to the power of death, to come in with Pallida mors Aequo pulsat pede pauperum tabernas, Regumque turres.
"Two of them are of Helium's noblest family. Tars Tarkas, Jeddak of Thark, is Tardos Mors' best beloved ally. The other is a friend and companion of the Prince of Helium that is enough for me to know." "It is not enough for me, however," retorted Zat Arras. "More must I hear from those who have taken the pilgrimage than their names. Where have you been, John Carter?"
"Some day you shall know, John Carter, if we live; but I may not tell you. And I, the daughter of Mors Kajak, son of Tardos Mors, have listened without anger," she soliloquized in conclusion. Then she broke out again into one of her gay, happy, laughing moods; joking with me on my prowess as a Thark warrior as contrasted with my soft heart and natural kindliness.
I, too, saw; but something else I saw that Mors Kajak did not; in my mind's eye I saw a buried chamber whose walls were lined with strange instruments and devices. In the center of the chamber was a long table, and before it sat a little, pop-eyed old man counting his money; but, plainest of all, I saw upon the wall a great switch with a small magnet inlaid within the surface of its black handle.

A few lines of Pliny which I wrote on the title-page of his history, will suffice to show the feelings with which I heard of his death: 'Mihi autem videtur acerba semper et immatura mors eorum qui immortale aliquid parant.
The Abbe de Bernis was created minister for foreign affairs some time after the ratification of the treaty; three years after he re-established the parliament, became a cardinal, was disgraced, and finally sent to Rome, where he died. 'Mors ultimo linea rerum est'.
A similar change of sound is exhibited in the case of the following formations, all of them of a very ancient kind: -pars portio-, -Mars- -Mors-, -farreum- ancient form for -horreum-, -Fabii- -Fovii-, -Valerius- -Volesus-, -vacuus- -vacivus-.
The man in black murmured something to himself: "Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors innocentium ejus" Dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of His innocents. Then he put a hand very gently on the soldier's shoulder. "Never mind," said he; "I've seen some service in my time, myself. But what about that wound?" "Oh, that; that's nothing. But I'll tell you how I got it. It was just like this.
