Mr. Smiwle’s hand dropped from his whiskers, indeed. for th® moment he almost vemed to have forgotten their existence. Sir. he stammered, "I can not allow —no indeed, sir! Mr. Beverley, you overwhelm me—” “Debts are necessary evils." said Barnabas, "and must be paid." Mr. Smivvle stared at Barnabas, his brow furrowed by perplexity.— stared like one who is suddenly at a loss; and indeed his usual knowing air was quite Rone. Then, dropping his gaze to the money on the table, he swept it into his pocket, almost furtively, and took up his hat and cane, and it is worth" of note that he did it all without a flourish. Mr. Beverley,” said he. “in the name of my friend Barrymaine, I thank you. and —I—l thank you!” So he turned and went out of the room and as he went out. he even forgot to swagger. Then Barnabas crossed to a mirror, and. once more, fell to studying his reflection with critical eyes, in the midst of which examination he looked up to find Peterby beside him. “Are vou quite satisfied, sir?” “They are wonderful. John.” “The coat." said Peterby. "v-e-s, the coat will pass well enough, but I have crave doubts as regards the pantaloons." "I refuse to have ’em touched. John And Natty Bell was quite right." . Sir?” said Peterby. "You don't know Nnttv Bell as yet, John, but you may; he is a very remarkable man! He told me, I remember. that in Town, a man had his clothes put on for him, and—remembered them —and so he does —the difficulty will be ever to forget ’em. they”—here Barnabas stol° a glance at his leg?;—“they positively obtrude themselves, John! Yes. clothes are wonderful things, but I fear they will take a great of living up to!" a a a HERE Barnabas drew a long sigh. in the midst of which he was interrupted by the calves of the Gentleman-in-Powder. which presented themselves at the doorway with the announcement: “Viscount Deafenem. sir" Barnabas started and hurried forward. very conscious, very nervous, and for once uncertain of himself by reason of his new and unaccustomed splendor. But the look in the viscount's boyish eyes, his smiling nod of frank approval, and the warm clasp of his hand, were vastly reassuring. “Why. Bev. that coat's a marvel!” he exclaimed impulsively, “it is. I

BROADLY speaking, the pitch of a bell is determined by its diameter. By trimming off a slight portion of the rim. thus shortening the diameter, the pitch can be raised; by trimming off the inside at the bottom swell, thus lengthening the inside diameter, the pitch eaa be lowered.

.-wear it is; turn around—so! Gad, what a At!” "I hoped you’d approve of It. Dirk." said Barnabas, a little j flushed, “you see. I know very little about surh things, and—" "Approve of it! My dear fellow And the cut!” “Now—as for these—er—pantaloons, Dick—?” “Dashing, my dear fellow, —devil- ! ish dashing!” “But rather too—too tight, don’t you think?" “Can t be, Bev, tighter the better,—have ’em made too tight to get into, and you're right; look at mine, if I bend I split.—deuced uncomfortable but all the mode, and a man must wear something! My fel- : low has the deuce of a time getting me into ’em, confound ’em. Oh. for “Can't be. Bev, tighter the betlease, give me boots and buckskins.” Hereupon the viscount having walked around Barnabas three j times, and viewed him critically from every angle, nodded with an air of finality. “Yes, they do you I infinite credit, by dear fellow—like everything else”; and he cast a comprehensive glance round the luxurious apartment. a a a “'T'HE credit of it all rests entirelv with Peterby,” said Barnabas. “John—where are you?” But Peterby had disappeared. "You're the most incomprehensible fellow, Bev,” said the viscount, ‘ seating himself on the edge of the ! table and swinging his leg. “You j have been a constant surprise to me ' ever since you found me—er—let us say—ruminating In the bilboes, and now”—here he shoow his head gravely—“and now it seems you are to become a source of infernal worry and anxiety as well.” “I hope not, Dick.” "You are, though,” repeated the viscount, looking graver than ever. “Why?" Because—well, because you are evidently bent upon dying young.” "How so, Dick?” ’ Well, if you ride in the race and don’t break your neck. Carnaby wall f want a word with you; and if he doesn't shoot you. why then Chichester certainly will—next time, damn him!” “Next time?” ”Oh, I know all about your little affair with him—across the table. Gad. Beverley, what a perfectly reckless fellow you are!” "But—how do you know of this?” “Prom Clemency.” “So you've seen her again. Dick?” “Yes, of course; that is, I took ‘Moonraker’ for a gallop yesterday, and —happened to be that way.” “Ah!” said Barnabas. “And she told me—everything,” said the viscount, beginning to stride up and down the room, with his usual placidity quite gone, “I mean about —about the button you found, it was that devil Chichester’s it seems, and—and—Beverly, give me your hand! She told me how you confronted the fellow. Ha! I’ll swear you had him shaking in his villain's shoes, duellest as he is.” “But,” said Barnabas, as the viscount. caught his hand, “it was not altogether on Clemency's account, Dick." “No matter, you frightened the i fellow off. Oh, I know—she told me; I made her! She had to fight with the beast, that’s how he lost his button. I tell you, if ever I get the cnance at him. he or I shall get his quietus. By God. Bev, I’m halfminded to send the brute a challenge, as it is.” “Because of Clemency, Dick?” “Well—and why not?” "The Earl of Bamborough's son fight a duel over the chambermaid of a hedge tavern!” (To Be Continued)

Across the plain of Opar, toward the ruined city, walked La and the lion. Behind them, at the summit of the escarpment, a man halted, looking out across the plain, and saw them in the distance. Behind him a hundred black warriors swarmed up the rockv cliff.

As they gathered around him, Tarzan pointed into the distance. “La!” he said. “And Numa!” said Muviro. “It is strange, Bwana, that he does not charge.” "He will not charge,” said Tarzan. “Why, I do not know; but I know he will not because it is Jad-bal-.ia.”

The keen ears of Jad-bal-ja caught the first noise from the rear. He halted and turned, his great head raised majestically, his ears forward, the skin of his nose wrinkled. Then he voiced a low growl, and La stopped and turned back to discover the cause of hLs displeasure.

As her eyes noted the approaching column, his heart sank. Even Jad-bal-ja could not protect her against so many. And so, resigned to her fate, sha stood and waited; while Jad-bal-ja, with flattened head and twitching tail, advanced to frighten away this new menace.
