CHICHESTER’S iron sclf- . rontrol wavered for a moment, his brows twitched together, and he turned upon Barnabas with threatening gesture, but, reading the purpose m the calm eye and smiling lip of Barnabas, he restrained himself; yet seeming aware of the glowing mark upon his cheek, he turned suddenly and, coming to the dingy casement, stood with his back to the mom, staring down into the dingy Street. Th< n Barnabas leaned forward and laid his hand upon Barrvmninr . and it so happened it was the hand that yet held the slopping in^glass. "Think—think” said Barnabas earnestly, "once you are free of Gaunt, life will begin afresh for you, you can hold up your head again—” "Though never in London. Ronald. I fear," added Mr. Chichester over his shoulder. "Once free of Gaunt, you may attain to higher things than you ever did.” said Barnabas. “Unless the dead past should happen to come to life again, and find a voice some day,” added Mr. Chichester over hts shoulder. • “No. no!” said Barnabas, feeling the quiver of the fingers within his own. "I tell you it would mean a new b- ginning anew life—a newending for you—” “And for Cleone!” added Mr. Chili i'Mcr over his shoulder, "our y< ung. disinterested Good Samarita l knows she us too proud to permit a stranger to shoulder her brot her s responsibilitics—” “Proud, eh?” cried Barrvmaine, leaping up in sudden boyish passion. “well, am I not proud? Did y< i ever know me anything else—did you?” "Never, my dear Ronald.” cried Mr. Chichester, turning at last. “You arp unfortunate, but you have always met disaster—so far, with

AFTER the first few weeks of life, the flatfishes begin to lie on one side. Not only do the eyes change position, but the color of the botwm rice of tne fi'h fades to a pure white and the upper side resembles the tone of the sea-bottom. * NEXT—How often do thunderstorms occur at the earth's pole*?

?he fortitude of a gentleman, scorning your detractors and—abominating charity.” "C-charity! damn you. Chichester. dye think I-Id accept any man's c-charity? D' you think I'd ever drag Cleone to that depth— * do you?” “Never, Barrymaine, never, I swear.” “Why then—leave me alone. I can m-manage my own affairs—” “Perfectlv, my dear fellow, I am sure of it.” “Then sir.” said Barnabas, rising, seeing it really is no concern of yours, after all, suppose you cease to trouble yourself any fur- j the- in the matter, and allow Mr. Barrymaine to choose for himself—” "I—l have decided!” cried Barrymaine, "and I tell you—” “Wait!” said Barnabas. “Speak!” said Mr. Chichester. INSTALLMENT FIFTY-SEVEN “'ll FAIT!” repeated Barnabas. W "Mr. Chichester is—going, I j think. Let us wait until we are! alone ” Then, bow ing to Mr. Chi- i Chester. Barnabas opened the door wide. “Sir.” said he, "may I venture to suggest that your presence is—not at ail necessary?” “Ah!” said Mr. Chichester, “you will certainly compel me to kill you, some day." •“Sufficient unto the day,’ sir!” Barnabas retorted; “in the meantime I shall most certainly give myself the pleasure of kicking you downstairs unless you choose to walk—at once.” A; he spoke. Barnabas took a stride toward Mr. Chichester's rigid figure, but, in that moment, Barrymaine snatched up the bottle and sprang between them. "Ah!—would you?” he cried, ‘who are you to order my f-friends about —and in m-rny own place, too! Ha! did you think you could buy me. d-did you? Did you think I—l I'd sacrifice my sister—did you? Ha! drunk, am I? Well, I'm sober enough to —to venge my honor and hers; by God 111 kill you! Ah —let go, Dig! Let go. I say! Didn’t you hear? Tempt me with his cursed money, will he! Oh. let go mv arm! Damn him, I say—lll kill him!” But, as he struck, Mr. Smivvle caught his wrist, the bottle crashed splintering to the* floor, and they! were locked in a fierce grapple. “Beverley—my dear fellow —go!” panted Mr. Smivvle. “must forgive poor Barry—not himself. Go — go—l can—manage him. Now Barry. do be calm! Go, my dear fellow-: —leave him to me—go!” So. perforce, Barnabas turned away and went down the dingy stairs, and in his ears was the echo of the boy s drunken ravings and Mr. Chichestprs soft laughter. And presently, being come into the dingy street, Barnabas paused to look up at the dingy house, and looking, sighed. “She said it would be ‘difficult, and dangerous, perhaps.’ ” said he to himself, "and indeed I think she was right.” Then he turned and w-ens upon his way, heavy-footed and chin on breast. st st a BARNABAS stumbled suddenly, dropped his cane, saw' his hat spin through the air and roll on before him; staggered sideways, was brought up by a wall, and turning, found three men about him, —evilfaced mpn whose every move and look held a menace. A darting hand snatched at his fob-seals, but Barnabas smote, swift and hard, and the three were reduced, for the moment, to two. Thus with his back to the wall stood Baranabas, fists clenched, grim of mouth, and with eyes quick and bright; wherefore, beholding him in this posture, his assailants hesitated. But the diamonds i sparkled at them from his cravat, the bunch of seals gleamed at them font his fob. and the fallen man having risen, albeit unsteadily, they began to close in upon him.

"These men are not all what you think them, my friend,” said Zora. "What do you mean? demanded Tarzan. "Romero and Mori have learned thair lesson. They avowed themselves openly during a quarrel when our blacks deserted, ’ Zora said. "I heard,” said Tarzan.

She looked at him in surprise. ‘‘You heard them?” she asked. "I have heard much that has gone on in many of your camps,” replied Tarzan, "but T. do not know that I may believe all I hear.” "I think you may believe them,” Zora assured him. "They are sincere.”

"Very well,” said Tarzan. "They may come with me. but these other two will have to shift for themselves.” “Not the American,” said Zora. "No? why not?” asked Tarzan. "Because he is in the employ of the United States government,” replied the girl.

The entire party, including Colt, looked at her in astonishment. "How did you learn that?” demanded Colt. "The message that you sent when you first came to camp was intercepted by one of Zveri's agents. Now do you understand how I know?” "Yes,” said Colt.
