' ■ Ronald Barrymaine." repeated Barnabas, trying the new point or his pen upon his thumb-nail yet i conscious of the speakers keen glance, none the less. "No, he did not." , •Astounding!” exclaimed Mr. Smivvle. -Why so?” •Because mv friend Barrymaine was particularly intimate with hi* lordship, before he fell among the money lenders, dammem! My fiiend Barrv sir. was a dasher, by George! a rectilar red-hot tearer. by heaven! a Go sir. a Tippy, a bang up Blood, and would be still if it were not for the lenders—curse ’em! "And is Mr. Barrymaine still a friends of yours?” At this Mr. Smivtrle took of his hat again, clapped it to his bosom, and bowed. -Sir.” said he. “for weal or woe, in shadow or shine, the hand of a Smivvle, once given, is given for good ” , . A he spoke. Mr. Smivvle stretched sut the member in question, which Barnabas observed was none too Clean. "The hand of a Smivvle. sir.” pursued that gentleman, ‘.'the hand of a Smivvle is never withdrawn either on arcount of adversity, plague, [ice, or debts -dammem! As for my friend Barrytnaine; but. perhaps, you are acquainted with him, sir.” “No,” answered Barnabas. a a a INSTALLMENT FORTY-FIVE *• a H! a noble fellow sir!

Diana was a frump! Venus? Venus was a dowdy hoyden, by George! and as for the ox-eyed Juno, she was a positive cow to this young beauty! And then —her heart, sir!” Well, what of it?” inquired Barnabas. rather sharply. "Utterly devoted—beats only for mv friend —” "You mean her brother?” -I mean her brother, yes, sir; though I have heard a rumor that Sir Mortimer Carnaby—” “Pooh!” said Barnabas. “With pleasure, sir; but the fact remains that it was partly on his account, and partly because of another?. that she was dragged away from London —”

• What other?” -Well, let u* say—H. R. H.” "Sir.” inquired Barnabas, frowning. "do you mean the Prince?” •.Sir.” said Mr. Smivvle, with a smiling shake of the head, “I prefer the letters H. R. H. Anyhow, there were many rumors afloat at the time, Bnd her guardian—a regular, tarry old sea dog, by George—drags her away from her brother's side, and buries her in the country, like the one-armed old pirate he is, eye to her money they tell me; regular old skiniflnt. But. speaking of the race. sir. do you happen to—know anything?” “I know that It is to be run on the fifteenth of July,” said Barnabas abstractedly. “Oh. very good!” exclaimed Mr. Smivvle—"ha! ha! —excellent! knows it is to be run on the fifteenth; very faeeitous, curse me! But, joking apart, sir, have you any private knowledge? The viscount, now, did he happen to tell you anything that—” But. at this juncture, they were interrupted by a sudden tumult in the yard outside, a hubbub of shouts, the ring and stamp of hoofs, and. thereafter, a solitary voice upraised in oaths and curses. a a a OARNABAS sprang to his feet, and hurrying out into the yard, beheld a powerful black horse that reared and plunged in the grip of two struggling grooms; in an adjacent corner was the late rider, who >at upon a pile of stable-sweepings and swore, while, near by, perched precariously upon an upturned bucket, his slim legs stretched out before him. was a young exquisite—- % Corinthian from top to toe —who rocked with laughter, yet was careful to keep his head rigid, so as to avoid crushing his cravat, a thing of wonder which immediately arrested the attention of Barnabas, because of its prodigious height, and the artful arrangement of its voluminous folds. “Oh, dooce take me,” he exclaimed in a faint voice, clapping a hand to his side, “I'll be shot if I saw anvthing neater, no. not even at Sadler's Wells! Captain Slingsby of the guards in his famous double somersault! Oh, damme. Sling! Id give a hundred guineas to see you do it again—l would, dooce take me!” But Captain Slingsby continued to shake his fist at the great, black horse, and to swear in unabated fervor. "You black devil!” he exclaimed, “you four-legged imp of Satan! So, you're up to your tricks again, are you? Well, this is the last chance you shall have to break my neck, bgad. I'm done with you for a—” Here the captain became extremely fluent, and redder of face than ever, as he poured forth a minute description of the animal; he cursed him from muzzle to crupper and back again; he damned his eyes, he damned his legs, individually and collectively, and reviled him. through sire and dam, back to the Flood. Meanwhile Barnabas turned from raging Two-legs to superbly wrathful Four-legs; viewed him from sweeping tail to lofty crest; observed his rolling eye and quivering nostril; took careful heed of his broad chest, slender legs, and powerful, sloping haunches with keen, appraising eyes, that were the eyes of knowledge and immediate desire. And so. from disdainful Four-legs he turned back to ruffipd Two-legs, who. having pretty well sworn himself out by this time, rose gingerly to his feet, felt an elbow with gentle inquiry, tenderly rubbed a muddied knee, and limped out from the corner.

TARZAN THE INVINCIBLE

The general rout of Zveri's forces ended only when their last camp had been reached, and even then only for part of the command, for as night fell it was discovered that a quarter of the total number were missirjg; and among them were Zora and Romero. *

Zveri questioned every one, but no one had seen the girl. He tried to organize an expedition to go in search of her, but no one would accompany him. It was well after dark, when he had almost decided to go alone, that the two walked into the camp together.

At the sight of them Zveri was both relieved and angry. “Why did you not remain with me?” he snapped at Zora. “Because I can not run so fast as you,” she replied, and Zveri said no more. From the darkness came the now familiar warning: "Desert the whites!’’

A long silence followed, and then the voicu spoke again. “The trails to your countries are fre from danger. Throw away your uniforms and leave the white men.” A black warrior stripped the FTench uniform from his body. Instantly others followed his example.
