INSTALLMENT THIRTEEN ’Continued) Horatio.’ says my Roman —morp Roman than ever—l strongiy dis-! approve of your sporting propens!ties, and, more especially, the circle . rs acquaintances you have formed, in London.’ Blackguardedly Bucks and cursed Corinthians!' snarls my I uncle, the captain, flapping his empty sleeve at me." a b b INSTALLMENT FOURTEEN ‘•■epHAT, sir, I deeply regret,’! 1 ays I, preserving a polite serenity, ’ but the match is made . j and a man must needs form some ; circle of acquaintance when he lives in London ” ‘Then,’ says my hon- ! ored Roman, with that lack of rea- j sonablenf s peculiar to fathers •don't live in London, and as for th< ho ■ mat . give it up ’ ’Quite ■ impossible, sir,’ says I. calmly de- . ter mined, ‘the match has been made and recorded duly at White's, and i if you were as familiar with the fashionable fqxjrting set as I. you j would understand.' 'Pish, bov.’ says ' ir.y Roman —t is a trick fathers have at such times of casting ones j v nil in one's teeth, you mav: p ibablv have noticed this for j your >lf. sir— ’Pish, boy,’ says he. ' ‘I know, I know, I've lived in London’’ ‘True, sir.” says I, "but things have changed since your day, your customs went out with your tievips, and are as antiquated as your wide-skirted coats and buckled shoes” -this was a sly dig at my worthy uncle, the captain, sir. •‘Ha’” cries he, flapping his empty j sleeve at me again, ‘and nice figure- 1 heads you made of yourselves with your ridiculous stocks and skintight breeches,’ and indeed,” said his lordship, stooping to catch a side-view of his imprisoned legs, “thev are a most excellent fit, I think you’ll agree." ’Marvelous!” sighed Barnabs, observing them with the eyes of envy, i ■'Well, sir." pursued his lordship, j “the long and short of it was—my honored Roman, having worked himself into a state of ’divine right’ nrcc ary to the occasion, vows that tinlc -- T give np the race and spend less time and money in London, he will clap me into the stocks. “ Then sir.’ says I, smiling and unruffled, ’pray clap me in as soon as you will’; and he bring, as I told you, a man of his word, —well —here I am.” "Where T find you enduring your situation with a remarkable fortitude," said Barnabas. a a a ”fTOAD sir! how else should l| XI/ endure it? I flatter myself I am something of a philosopher, and thus, enduring in the cause of freedom and free will, I scorn my bonds, and am consequently free. Though, I'll admit, 'twixt you and me, sir, the position cramps one's legs most damnably." ‘‘Now in regard to Sir Mortimer 1 Carnaby," persisted Barnabas, “your j father, it would seem, neither likes | nor trusts him." “My father, sir. is—a father, con- j sequent ly perverse. Sir Mortimer Carnaby is my friend, therefore, | though my father never has met; Sir Mortimer Carnaby, he takes a | mortal antipathy to Sir Mortimer! Carnaby, Q. E. D., and all the rest of it." “On the other hand,” pursued Barnabas the steadfast-eyed, “you—admire, respect, and honor your friend Sir Mortimer Carnaby!” “Admire him, sir, who wouldn’t? There isn't such another all-round j sportsman in London —no, nor Eng- j land. Only last week he drove j cross-country in his tilbury over hedges and ditches, fences and all,' and never turned a hair. Beat the j ‘Fighting Tanner’ at Islington in four rounds, and won more than 10.000 pounds in a single night's i play from Egalite d'Orleans himself. Oh. egad, sir! Carnaby’s the most j wonderful fellow in the world!”

THOUGH a very indifferent Boxer!" added barnabas. "Indiff—!” His lordship let fall | the last fragments of his bread and meat, and stared at Barnabas in wide-eyed amazement. “Did you say j —indifferent?" T did," nodded Barnabas, “he Is' much too passionate ever to make a good boxer.” “Why, deuce take me! I tell you there isn't a pugilist in England cares to stand up to him with the muffles, or bare knuckles!" “Probably because there are no pugilists left in England, worth the name,” said Barnabas. "Gad, sir! we are all pugilists nowadays—the manly art is all the fashion—and. I think, a very excellent fashion. And permit me to tell you I know 7 what I'm talking of, I have myself boxed with nearly all the best 'milling coves’ in London. and am esteemed no novice at the sport. Indeed love of the ‘fancy’ was born in me, for my father, sir—though occasionally Roman—was a great patron of the game, and witnessed the great battle between Glorious John Barty’ and Nathaniel Bell—" "At Dartford!" added Barnabas. ‘And when Bell was knocked down at the end of the fight—” ' After the ninety-seventh round!” nodded Barnabas. “My father, .sir, was the first to jump into the ring and clasp the Champion's sist —and proud he is to tell of it!" “Proud!" said Barnabas, staring. XX XX tt INSTALLMENT FIFTEEN PROUD, sir—yes, why not? so should I have been—so would any man have been. Why let me tell you, sir, at home, in the hall, between the ensign my uncle’s ship bore through Trafalgar, and the small sword my grandfather carried at Blenheim, we have the belt John Barty wore that day.” “His belt!” exclaimed Barnabas. ' my—John Barty’s belt*?” “So you see I should know what I am talking about. Therefore, when you condemn such a justly celebrated man of his hands as my friend Carnaby, I naturally demand to know who you are to pronounce judgment?" “I am one,” answered Barnabas, “who has been taught the science by that very Nathaniel Bell and 'Glorious John’ you mention.” "Hey—what?—what?” cried his lordship. “I have boxed with them regularly every day,” Barnabas continued, “and I have learned that strength of arm, quickness of foot, and a true eye are all unavailing unless they be governed by a calm, unruffled temper, for passion clouds the judgment, and in fighting as in all else, it is judgment that tells In the long run.” “Now, by heaven!” exclaimed his lordship, jerking his imprisoned legs pettishly, “if I didn’t happen to be sitting trussed up here, and we had a pair of muffles, why we might have had a friendly 'go' just to take each other’s measures; as it is—” a o a BUT at this moment they heard a hoarse bellow, and, looking round, behind the Bo'sun who, redder of face than ever and pitching and rolling in his course, bore rapidly down on them, and hauling his wind, took off the glazed hat. “Ha. Jerry!” exclaimed his lordship, “what now? If you happen to have anything else eatable in that hat of yours, out with it, for I am devilish sharp-set still.” “Why, I have got summat, Master Horatio, but it aren't bread nor yet beef, nor yet again biled 'am. my lord—it can't be eat nor it can’t De drank—and here it be!” and with the words the Bo'sun produced a ponderous iron key. “Why. my dear old Jerry—my lovely Bo'sun —” (To Be Continued)

“What do you know of Zora Drinov?’’ demanded Colt. ‘ She is jnv friend, and she is in trouble,” said La. • Yes. I know.” said Colt. “She was with the Arabs when I found her. We escaped from them, and then while I was hunting, something carried her away.”

“I had been searching for Zora,” continued Colt, “until I lost my strength and you found me.” “You shall not want for food now,” said La, “Numa will hunt for us. And if we can find the camp of Zora’s friends, perhaps they will go out and search for her,”
