So quickly did h- turn that the countless gleaming buttons that lie wore upon his coat rang a jingling chime. Now, looking upon this s'range figure. Barnabas started up and springing from the curricle, cror-v*d the street and looked upon the man with a smile. "Have you forgotten me?’* said Barnabas. The man smiled in turn, and sweeping off the weatherbeaten hat. saluted him with an oidtim“ bow of elaborate grace. “Sir."’ he answered in his deep, rich voice. "Billy Button never forgets—faces. You are Burnaby Bright B.trnabas, ’t is ail the same. Sir, Billy Button salutes you.” * Why, then,” said Banabas, rather diffidently, seeing the other s grave dignity, "will you oblige me by—by holding my friends horses? They are rather high-spirited and nervous.” “Nervous, sir? Ah, then they need me. Billy Button shall sing to them, horses love music, and, like trees, are excellent listeners.” Forthwith Billy Button crossed the street with his long, stately stride, and taking the leaders bridle, fell to soothing the horses with soft words, and to patting them with gentle-know me hands. “Bead!” exclaimed the captain, staring, “that fellow has been used *n horses—once upon a time. Poor devil!”

As he spoke he glanced from B :!v Button's naked feet and threadbare clothes to his own glossy Hessians and immaculate garments and Barnabas saw him wince as he turned toward the door of Jasper Gaunt’s house. Now. when Barnabas would have followed. Billy Button caught him suddenly by the INSTALLMENT SIXTY-SEVEN “A/’OU are not pomp—there?" he I whispered, frowning and nodding toward the house. “Yes" “Don't!" he whispered, “don't! An evil place, a place of sin and shadows, of sorrow, and tears, and black despair. Ah. an evil place! place for Barnaby Bright." “I must," said Barnabas. “So say they all. Youth goes in. and leaves his youth behind: men go in. and leave all strength and hope behind: ape poes in. and creeps out—to a crave. Hear me. Barnaby Bright. This is no place for you—’tis the grave of youth, don't go—don't go!" “I must.” repeated Barnabas, “for another's sake.” "Then must the blighting shadow fall upon you, too —ah. yes. I know. Oh. Barnaby—Barnaby Bright." Here, roused by the captain's voice, rather hoarser than usual. Barnabas turned and saw that the door of the house was open, and that Captain Slingsby stood waitmg for him with a slender, youthfulseeming person who smiled; a palefaced. youngish man, with colorless

hair. and eyes so very pale as to be almost imperceptible in the pallor of his face. Barnabas followed the captain along a some*hat gloomy hail, up a narrow and winding staircase, and . : , mall larid;ng with an alcove where stood a kail, wizen-faced clock with skeleton hands and a loud, insistent, very deliberate tick; so. up more stairs to another hall, also somewhat gloomy, and a door which the pale-eyed, miiir.g person obligingly opened, | and. having ushered them into a m 1 rushed chamber, disI appeared. Bamaba* saw that the debonair Klingsby had vanished quite; in his | place was another—a much older man, haggard of eye, with a face peaked, and grav. and careworn beneath the brim of the jaunty hat. "Mv dear Beverley.” said he, staring down into the emp*v grate, "if you’re ever in need—if you're ever reduced to destitution, then, in heaven's name, go quietly away and —starve! Deuced unpleasant, of course, but it's—sooner over, bgad!” a a a \ T this moment the smiling person reappeared at a different door, and uttered the words: "Captain Slingsby—if \*>u please.” Hereupon the captain visibly braced himself, squared his shoulders, took off his hat, crossed the room in a couple of strides, and Barnabas was alone.

Now as he sat there waiting, he gradually became aware of a sound that stole upon the quiet, a soft, j low sound, exactly what he could i not define, nevertheless, it greatly jierturbed him. Therefore he rase, and approaching that part of the room whence it proceeded, he sawanother door. And then, all at once, as he stood before this door, he knew what the sound was, and whv it had so distressed him; and, even as the knowledge came, he opened the door and stepped into the room beyond. And this is what he saw: A bare little room, or office; the pale, smiling gentleman, who lounged in a cushioned chair, a comb m one hand, and in the other a small pocket mirror, by the aid of which he was attending to a diminutive tuft of flaxen whisker; and a woman, in threadbare garments, who crouched upon a bench beside the opposite wall, her face bowed upon her hands, her whole frame shaken by great, heart-broken, gasping sobs—a sound full of misery, and of desolation unutterable. a a a \ T the opening of the door, the Gv pale gentleman started and turned, and the woman looked up with eyes swollen ano inflamed by weeping. "Sir,” said the pale gentleman, speaking softly, yet in the tone of one used to command, "may I ask what this intrusion means?” Now, as he looked into the speaker's pallid eyes. Barnabas saw’ that he was much older than he had thought. He had laid aside the comb and mirror, and now’ rose in a leisurely manner, and his smile was more unpleasant than ever as he faced Barnabas. "Tliis place is private sir—you understand. private, sir. May I suggest, that you—go. that you—leave us?” As he uttered the last two words, he thrust out his head and jaw in a very ugly manner. Barnabas addressed himself to the woman. "Pray, madam,” said he, "tell me your trouble; what is the matter?” But the woman only wrung her hands together, and stared with | great, frightened eyes at the colorless man, who now advanced, smiling still, and tapped Barnabas smartly on the shoulder.

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

A 1 1 J 11 . Ut.fc

Even though he could not talk to Tarzan, the ape-man was impressed with a conviction that loyalty and dependability were characteristic of his companion. So Tarzan, who usually preferred to be alone, was not displeased to have the company of this stranger whose life he had saved.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Up toward a fringe of hilltop f orest the two men moved in silence. But Usha, the wind, bore ahead of them their scent to the cunning nostrils of Sheeta, the panther. Eagerly Sheeta awaited the coming of the two- men, for their scent told the panther they were not armed with the thun-der-stick that Sheeta feared.

Gradually, the panther’s sinuous museles drew the hind quarters forward beneath his sleek body in preparation for the spring. As the ape-man's companion made his bed on the ground, Sheeta edged along the gTeat limb where he crouched. In doing so he caused it to move and the leaves to rustle faintly.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

Your ears could not possibly have heard it: but Tarzan, prepared to sleep in a tree crotch, did hsar. His eyes, turning quickly, sought and found the intruder. At the same instant Sheeta launched himself at the man on the ground below; and as the panther sprang, so, too, did Tarzan of the Apes.
