advantage. Having justified his desire, he soon altered his
course and headed for Lothar, salving his conscience with the
knowledge that he would breakfast in Helium on the morrow.
And that was soon enough for all the world!
But tonight—his private dreams were his to enjoy.
Ever since he had learned from John Carter that Tario
had emerged into the outer world, he had been haunted by
the presentment that he would one day meet his mental
creator face to face. That it would not be a friendly meeting
he had little doubt. Instead, it would probably result in a battle
of mentalities.
Against such an eventuality, he had been preparing. he
had taken careful inventory of this mental capacities and
surprised himself with what he had discovered. Daily, he had
secretly practiced certain exercises which would have been
comprehensible only to a Lotharian. The result was that Kar
Komak was astounded at his own powers.
This was true also concerning his secret experiment in
Lothar. Each time he concentrated on the materialization of
his intended mate in Lothar, he had felt that he was succeeding
rapidly. Daily, the conviction had been growing that her
transition into reality was close at hand.
So now, as he approached the mountains which concealed
the ancient city from the outer world his mind concentrated
once again on that hidden chamber in the jeddak's
palace. As his thoughts reached out to that phantom vision of
loveliness, his extra-sensory perception told him that she was
almost complete. He was filled with the awareness of a living,
consient woman, waiting for him in the inner depths of that
great, lonely pile!
God of his ancestors! Could it be possible that he had
succeeded so soon? What impossible ecstasy would it be to
him now if he should indeed find her there!
The flier seemed to leap forward with his burning
thoughts.
