Twice he raised his cane to strike, twice he lowered it. and finally loosing his grip. Mr. Quiglv staggered back to the opposite wall, and leaned there, panting. Hereupon Barnabas, somewhat shocked athis own loss of selfrestraint, re-settl**d his cuff, straightened his cravat, and, when he spoke, was more polite than ever. “Mr. Quiglv, pray sit down.” said he; "I have no wish to thrash you —it would be a pity to spoil my cane, so—oblige me by sitting down.” Mr. Quigly opened his mouth as if to speak, but. glancing at Barnabas. thought better of it; yet his eyes crew so pale that they seemed all whites as he sank into the chair. “And now'.” said Barnabas, turning to the crounching woman. “I don 't think Mr. Quigly will interrupts us again, you may freely tell your trouble —if you will.” INSTALLMENT SIXTY-EIGHT */ah, sir.—it's my hqsband!

months and months to earn so much —and my husband was dying! —dying! But. sir, I went away despairing. Then I grew wild,— desperate—yes. desperate—oh, believe it, sir. and I.—l—Ah, sir—what won't a desperate-woman do for one she loves? And so I—trod shameful ways' To-day I brought the twenty pounds, and now—dear God! now they say it must be twenty-three. Three pounds more, and I have no more—and I can't—Oh, I—can't go back to it again—the shame and horror—l—cant, sir!” So she covered her face again, and shook with the bitter passion of her woe. And, after r while, Barnabas found voice, though his voice was very hoarse and uneven. T think," said he slowly, "yes, I think my cane could not have a worthier end than splintering on your villain's back. Mr. Quigly." But, even as Barnabas advanced with very evident purpose, a tall figure stood framed in the open doorway. "Ah. Quigly—pray what is all this?” a chill, incisive voice demanded. Barnabas turned, and lowering the cane, stood looking curiously at the speaker. A tall, slender man he was. with a face that might have been any age—a mask-like face, smooth and long, and devoid of hair a.s it was of wrinkles; an arresting face, with its curving nostrils, thinlipped, close-shut mouth; high, prominent brow, and small, pi*rc-mgly-bnght eyes; quick ryes, that dinted between their red rimmed, hairless lids, old in their experience of men and the ways of men. “You are Jasper Gaunt, I think?” said Barnabas at last. “At your service, sir. and you, I know, are Mr. Barnabas Beverley.” So they stood, fronting each other, the Yhuth. unconquered as yet, and therefore indomitable, and the Man, with glittering eyes old in their experience of men and the ways of men. “You wished to see me on a matter of business, Mr. Beverley?” “Yes.” “Then pray step this way." “No.” said Barnabas, “first I require vour signature to this lady's papers.” Jasper Gaunt smiled. and shrugged his shoulders slightly. “Such clients as this, sir— i leave entirely to Mr. Quigly.” “Then, in this instance, sir, you will perhaps favor me by giving the matter your personal attention!” ana JASPER GAUNT hesitated, observed the glowing eye, flushed cheek, and firm-set lips of the speaker, and being wise in men and their ways—bowed. “To oblige you. Mr. Beverley, with pleasure. Though I understand from Mr. Quigly that she is unable to meet—” “Seventy-right pounds, sir! She can pay it all—every blood-stained, trar-soaked farthing. She should meet it were it double—treble the sum!” said Barnabas, opening his purse. “Ah, indeed, I see! I see!” nodded Jasper Gaunt. "Take the money, Quigly, I will make out the receipt. If you desire, you shall see me sign it, Mr. Beverly.” So saying, he crossed to the desk, wrote the document, and handed it to Barnabas, with a bow that was almost ironical. Then Barnabas gave the precious paper into the woman's eager fingers, and looked down into the woman's shining eyes. “Sir.” said she between trembling lips. “I can not thank you—l—l can not. But God sees, and He will surely repay.” (To Be Continued)

What happened was a matter of seconds only. As the beast spring. Tarzan voiced a roar, intended both to warn his companion and distract the panther's attention from his prey. Instinctively, the man leaped to one side as the beast's body brushed him.

But the panther's thoughts were now upon the thing that had voiced that menacing roar rather than upon its intended prey. Wheeling as he leaped aside, the stranger turned and saw the savage carnivore just as Tarzan landed full upon the beast's back.

He heard the mingled growls of the two as they closed. Amazed, he realized that the sounds coming from the lips of his companion were quite as bestial as those coming from the enraged panther. Tarzan sought to get a hold upon the neck of the great beast.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

The great cat Instantly attempted to roll over on its back that it might rip the body of its antagonist to shreds with the terrible talons that, armed its hind feet. But tnis strategy the apeman had anticipated; and rolling beneath Sheeta, he locked his legs around its belly.
