SYNOrM* Barnabas Brty. *on of the one-time champion prize ftgtver of Enelanil. inherits the sum of seven hundred thousand pounds from his • wotner. Old John Bartv is amazed by ht handsome sons good fortune and muses beai.deredlv of Barnabas determination no* to be come a fighter . Barnabas, a book-lover like his mo*her, whom he never 'aw. tells h.s father .oe is coin* to London to become a kentlerr.an Old John Bartv rises to his .eet pjeejs off hts coat, and tells bis son he will have to teach him a lesson Barnabas his lesons from h.s father and Na**t Be.: another one-*.me champion not in vain, knocks h*s fa*her f.own in a sporting boxing match. Old John : Bar*v ake* his defeat mans illv *hahe* hands with his son and wishes him *. ; re- ( well Barnabas leaves for London. Now ( •° on - a a a INSTALLMENT TWO (Continued) “But wherever you go and whatever you come to be —you re our lad still, and so, Barnabas, take this, wear it in memory of old Natty Bell—steady—catch!” And. with the word, he tossed down his great silver watch. “Why, Natty Bell;” exclaimed Barnabas, very hoarse of voice. • I>ar old Natty—l can t take this!" “Ah, but you can—it was presented to me twenty and one years ago, Barnabas, the time I beat the Ruffian on Bexley Heath.” a a a ••-[jUT 1 can’t—l couldn't take 13 it,” said Barnabas again, looking down at the broad-faced, ponderous timepiece in his hand, which he knew had long been Natty Bell's most cherished possession. “Av, but you can, lad —you must — ’tis all I have to offer, and it may serve to mind you of me, now and then, so take it! Take it! And, Barnabas, when you're tired o’ being a fine gentleman up there in London, why—come back to us here at the old -Hound' and be content to be just—a man. Good-by, lad; good-by!” saying which, Natty Bell nodded, drew in his head and vanished, leaving Barnabas to stare up at the closed lattice, with the ponderous timepiece ticking in his hand. So, in a while, Barnabas slipped it. into his pocket and, turning his back upon the “Coursing Hound,” began to climb that hill beyond which lay the London of his dreams. Therefore as he went he kept his eves lifted up to the summit of the hill, and his step grew light, his eye brightened, for adventure lay in wait for him; life beckoned to him from the distance; there was magic in the air. Thus Barnabas strode on up the hill full of expectancy and the blind confidence in destiny which is the glory of youth. INSTALLMENT THREE HEADS up, young master, never say die! and wi’ the larks and the thrustles a-singing away so inspiring too—Lord love me!” Barnabas started guiltily, and turning with upflung head, perceived a very small man perched on an adjacent milestone, with a very large pack at his feet, a very large hunk of bread and cheese in his hand, and with a book open upon his knee. “Listen to that theer lark.” said the man. pointing upwards with the knife he held. “Well?” said Barnabas, a trifle haughtily perhaps. “There's music for ye; there's j'y. T never hear a lark but it takes me back to London—to Lime'us. to Giles Rents, down by the river.” “Pray, why?” inquired Barnabas, still a trifle haughtily. “Because it’s so different; there ain't much j'y. no, nor yet music in Giles' Rents, down by the river.” “Rather an unpleasant place!” said Barnabas. “Unpleasant, young sir. I should say so—the w*orst place in the world—but listen to that theer blessed lark; there's a woice for ye; there's music with a capital M; an' I’ve read as they cooks and eats ’em.” “Who do?” “Nobs do—swells —gentlemen—ah. an’ ladies, too!”

ALTHOUGH A MAMMAL, CAN REMAIN UNDER WATER MORE THAN AN HOUR.. 5,, WHALES do not ordinarily stay under water tor lonf.er periods than fifteen to twenty minutes, but a harpooned whale will sink several hundred feet below the surface and rest on the bottom for more than an hour at a time. NEXT—How did a comma make fruit exempt, at one time, from Import duty?

“More shame to them, then.” “Why, so says I, young master, but, ye see, beef an’ mutton, ducks an’ chicken, an’ sich, ain't good enough for your Nobs nowadays, oh no! They must dewour larks wi’ gusto, and French hortolons wi' avidity, and wi' a occasional leg of a frog throw'd In for a relish — though, to be sure, a frog's leg ain't over meaty at the best o’ times. Oh, it's alt true, young sir; it's all wrote down here in this priceless wollum.” Here he tapped his book upon his knee. “The title, young sir; well theer! read for yourself.” a a a AND with tlje words the Chapman held up the book open at the title page, and Barnabas read: HINTS ON ETIQUETTE THE COMPLEAT ART OP A GENTLEMANLY DEPORTMENT BY A PERSON OF QUALITY. “You’ll note that theer Person o’ Quality, will ye?” said the Chapman. “Strange!” said Barnabas. “Not a bit of it!” retorted the Chapman. “Lord, love me! any one could be a gentleman by just reading and inwardly di-gesting o’ this here priceless wollum; it’s all down here in print, an' nice bold type, too —pat as you please.” “This is certainly very remarkable!” said Barnabas. “Ah!” nodded the Chapman, “it’s the most remarkablest book as ever was!—Lookee—heer's pictres for ye—lookee!” and he began turning over the pages, calling out ihe subject of the pictures as he did so. “Gentleman going a walk In a jerry ’at. Gentleman eating soup! Gentleman kissing lady’s 'and. Gentleman dancing with lady—note them theer legs, will ye—theer’s elegance for ye Gentleman riding a 'oss in one o’ these ’ere noo buckled ’ats. Gentleman shaking ands with ditto—observe the cock o’ that little finger, will ye! ‘Gentleman eating ruffles—no, truffles, which is a vegetable, as all pigs in uncommon partial to. Gentleman proposing lady’s ’ealth in a frilled shirt an' a pair o’ skin-tights. Gentleman making a bow*.” “And remarkably stiff in the legs about it, too!” nodded Barnabas. “Stiff in the legs!” cried the Chapman reproachfully, “Lord love you, young sir! I've seen many a leg stiffer than that.” “And how much is the book?” (To Be Continued) Questions and Answers Q —Who raised the funds for the swimming pool at the White House that was presented to President Roosevelt?

TARZAN THE INVINCIBLE

When next Tarzan returned, he brought the carcass of a deer, and then Zora saw him make fire after the manner of primitive man. When the meat was cooked, he cut small pieces with his hunting knife and fed her as though she had been a helpless baby.

While she ate, he spoke for the first time, but not to her, nor in any language she had ever heard.' H? spoke to the great elephant, and the huge pachyderm wheeled slowly about and entered the jungle. Soon she could hear the noise of his passage diminishing.

Gradually the girl had been lulled to security by the seeming solicitude of her strange protector. But now she was afraid of the silent giant in whose power she was; for when he ate she saw that he ate his meat raw, tearing the flesh iike a wild beast.

—By Edgar Bice Burroughs

When there came a sound of something moving in the jungle just beyond the fire-light, he raised his Iv'ad and growled a low, savage warning from his lips. The girl closed her eyes and buried her face In her arms in sudden terror.
