The Amateur Gentleman

BEGIN HERE TODAY Recelviine an inheritance ot seven hundred thousand pounds Barnabas Barty. son of John Barty. the former champion prize fighter of England, decides to become a gentleman rather than follow the fighting game. He bests his father In a duel of fists as the climax of a quarrel over the soini . choice of a career. Natty Bell, another former champion, has aided the father in training young Barty to use his fists. After the fight. Barnabas changes his surname to Beverley and on his way to London meets among others tne Cap n. the Bosun and V°j; n g Beliasis. a gentleman, and friend of Sir Mortim-.r Carnaby. _ . . lrt finding Sir Mortimer whom he did not know at the time, leering over the form of Lady Cleone Meredith apparently unconscious as a result of a fall from a horse, young Barty kflnocks out the in '' The' 1 trip to London is resumed with young Bellasis as a companion Beverly tests his companion in a battle of fists after the lie had been passed over the ability of the prizefigter s son. The combatants remain friends. Both love Lady Cleone Bellasis quits the trip to press his courtship. Barnabas, however, continues to travel. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY INSTALLMENT THIRTY (Continued) But in that same instant, swift and lithe as a panther, Barnabas leaped and, dropping his stick, caught that slender, jeweled hand, bent it, twisted it, and wrenched the weapon from its grasp. Mr. Chichester stood motionless, whitelipped and silent, but a devil looked out of his eyes. “Ah!” said Barnabas, glancing down at the pistol he held, “I judged you would not venture into these wilds without something of the sort. The path, you will notice, lies to your left; it is a winding path; I will go with you therefore, to see that you do not lose your way, and wander—back here again.” . Without a word Mr. Chichester turned, and coming to the path followed it, walking neither fast nor slow, never once looking to where Barnabas strode behind, and heedless of briar or bramble that dragged at him as he passed. On they went, until the path lost itself in a grassy lane, until the lane ended in a fivebarred gate. Now, having opened the gate, Mr. Chichester passed through into the high road, and then, for one moment he looked at Barnabas, a long, burning look that took in face, form and feature, and so, still without uttering a word, he went upon his way, walking neither fast nor slow, and swinging his tasseled cane as he went, w’hile Barnabas, leaning upon the gate, watched him until his tall, slender figure had merged into the dusk, and was gone. Then Barnabas sighed, and becoming aware of the pistol in his hand, smiled contemptuously, and was greatly minded to throw it away, but slipped it into his pocket instead, for he remembered the devil in the eyes of Mr. Chichester. It was dark among the trees, but, away to his left, though as yet low down, the moon was rising, filling the woods with mystery, a radiant glow wherein objects s6emed to start forth with anew significance; here the ragged bole of a tree, gnarled, misshapen; there a wideflung branch, weirdly contorted, and there again a tangle of twigs and strange, leafy shapes that moved not. And over all w T as a deep and brooding quietude. n n n INSTALLMENT THIRTY-ONE YES, it was dark among the trees, yet not so black as the frown that clouded the face of Barnabas as he strode on through the wood, and so betimes reached again the ancient barn of Oakshott. and lo! even as he came there, it was night, and because the trees grew tall and close together, the shadows lay thicker than ever save only in one place where the moon, finding some rift among the leaves, sent down a shaft of silvery light that made a pool of radiance amid the gloom. Now, as Barnabas gazed at this, he stopped all at once, for, just within this patch of light, he saw a foot. It was a small foot, proudly arched, a shapely foot and slender, like the ankle above; indeed, a

THE popular idea that the # Klondike region is in Alaska arises from the fact that gold seekers of*the early days reached the district by traveling through Alaska. Also, the district surrounds the upper stretches of the Yukon river, a stream which later flows through the heart of Alaska. NEXT—How do falcons kill their prey?

haughty arid most impatient foot, that "beat the ground with angry little taps, and yet, in all and every sense, surely, and beyond a doubt, the most alluring foot in the world. Therefore Barnabas sighed and came a step nearer, and in that moment it vanished; therefore Barnabas stood still again. There followed a moment’s silence, and then: “Dear,” said a low, thrilling voice, “have you come—at last? Ah, but you are late, I began to fear ” The soft voice faltered and broke off with a little gasp, and, as Barnabas stepped out of the shadows, she shrank away, back and back, to the mossy wall of the barn, and leaned there staring up at him with eyes wide and fearful. Her hood, close-drawn, served but to enhance the proud beauty of her face, pale under the moon, and her cloak, caught close in one white hand, fell about her ripe loveliness in subtly revealing folds. Now in her other hand she carried a silvermounted riding whip. And because oi the wonder of her beauty Barnabas sighed again, and because of the place wherein they stood, he frowned; yet, when he spoke, his voice was gentle; “Don’t be afraid, madam; he is gone.” “Gone ” she 1 echoed faintly. “Yes, we are quite alone; consequently you have no more reason to be afraid.” “Afraid, sir? I .thought—why, ’twas you who startled me.” /“Ay,” nodded Barnabas, “you expected him ” “Where is he? When did he go?” “Some half-hour since.” “Yet he expected me; he knew I should come; why did he go?” Now hereupon Barnabas lifted a hand to his throat and loosened his neckcloth. “Why, then,” he said slowly, “you have —perhaps—met him hereabouts —before tonight?” “Sir,” she retorted, “you haven’t answered me; why did he go so soon?” “He was—forced to, madam.” “Forced to go—without seeing me —without one word Oh, impossible!” “I walked with him to the crossroads and saw him out of sight.” “But I—l came as soon as I could! Ah! surely he gave you some message—some word for me?” n n n NONE, madam!” said Barnabas evenly, but his hand had clenched itself suddenly on the stick he held. “But I— don’t understand!” she sighed, with a helpless gesture of her white hands, “to hurry away like this, without a word! Oh, why —why did he go?” “Madam,” said Barnabas, “it was because I asked him to.” “You—asked him to?” “I did.” “But why—why?” “Because, from what little I know of him, I judged it best.” “Sir,” she said, softly, “sir—what do you mean?” “I mean, that this is such a very lonely place for any woman and—such as he.” Now even as Barnabas uttered the words she advanced upon him with upflung head and eyes aflame with sudden passionate scorn. “Insolent,” she exclaimed. “So it was you—you actually dared to interfere?” “Madam,” said Barnabas, “I did.” Very straight and proud she stood, and motionless save for the pant and tumult of her bosom, fierce-eyed and contemptuous of lip. “And remained to insult me—with impunity.” “To take you home again,” said Barnabas, “therefore, pray let us begone.” “Us? Sir, you grow presumptuous.” (To Be Continued)

As Tantor appeared Tarzan ceased his efforts to close his teeth on Dorsky’s throat and at the same time rolled quickly from the body of the Russian. As he did so Dorsky’s hand found his revolver. “Kifi, Tantor!” shouted the ape-man. “Kill!”

The little eyes of the elephant flamed red with hate. He trumpeted shrilly as he raised Dorsky high above his head, and, wheeling about, hurled him out into the camp, while the terrified blacks fled into the jungle. Then Tantor charged his victim.

With his great tusks he gored him, and then trumpeting and squealing, he trampled Dorsky’s body. Nothing could restrain him, although from the moment that Tantor had seized the Russian Tarzan had sought to stay the great brute’s fury.

But Tantor was deaf to commands until he had wreaked vengeance upon his friend’s enemy. When his rage had spent its force he came quietly to Tarzans side, and at a word from the ape-man lifted him gently in his trunk and bore him away into the forest.
