But now, Thorwald, you have given too much time to me and have been drawn away from your purpose of enlightening us in regard to your wonderful planet." "Yes, Thorwald," said I, "we must hear more of your interesting history, and I think an account of what the religion of Jesus has done for Mars will help to win the doctor to right views."
In early years Clark had paid the child's board through his lawyer to an Omaha woman named Hines, and had later sent him to college. The Burgess girl married a Swede named Thorwald. The boy was eight years older than Judson, Clark's legitimate son. "After the death of his wife Elihu Clark began to think about the child, especially after Judson became a fair-sized boy.
"Just four," answered Bumpus; "an' I'm to be one of 'em." "Well, Bumpus, I'll take your advice. I shall be at the Long Point before twelve, with a dozen niggers, and I'll count on you lending us a hand." "No, ye mustn't count on that, Mr. Thorwald. Surely, it's enough if I run away and leave the others to fight." "Very well; do as you please," said Thorwald, with a look of contempt.
"Now, you see," pursued Thorwald, "if I were to follow my own tastes, which, it seems to me, I am destined not to be allowed to do any more in the affairs of this world, if I may judge by the events of the past month, if I were to follow my own tastes, I say, I would go boldly to the prison where this pestiferous pirate captain lies, put double irons on him, and place a strong guard round the building.
"Your words give me great pleasure," Thorwald resumed, "for now I know I have your full sympathy. The troubles to which you refer, and all the clouds of that period, were dispersed by the growth of the spirit of love in the world. Does that seem a vague and insufficient answer to your question? Does the cause appear inadequate to the effect?
"Zenith," said Thorwald to his wife, who was sitting with us, "this is a happy day for us all. These earth-dwellers, these men who have come to visit our world, are not strangers; they are Christians. Think of it." At this juncture I could not help studying the doctor's face, for I knew this was the first time he had ever been called a Christian.
Captain Barnes being of the same opinion, General Thorwald said "Well then, gentlemen, we shall attack without delay;" and proceeded to make the necessary arrangements. When the Talisman fired her broadside of blank cartridge at the native village, there was not a solitary warrior in it only aged men, women and children.
But Thorwald and the other men that we had seen possessed these latter qualities also, and Zenith exhibited the same strength of mind and the same devotion to lofty aims as her husband. In their equipment for the duties of life and in the ability to do valiant service for their kind they seemed equal. Evidently neither had a monopoly of any class of advantages, either of mind, body, or estate.
You saw them also unloading the heavy freight from the boat by the same power. So all our work is done. No fleshly limb is strained, no conscious life is burdened, by any of the labor of our complex society. This subtle force is so well controlled and its laws are so thoroughly understood that it is equal to every demand." "I am entranced, Thorwald," said the doctor, "with everything I see.
Is it not singular that I should wait to be asked to show you the wonders of our telescopes? Zenith, let us all go with them to see their home, about which we have so often speculated. "We have many good observatories," continued Thorwald, speaking to the doctor and me, "some of which are noted for one line of study and some for another.
