Mr. Peterby—stay, 111 write the name for you. he will look after you, and—good-by!” 'lt is a truly pleasant thing to meet with heartfelt gratitude, sir,” said Jasper Gaunt, a.s the door closed behind the woman. ‘‘And now I am entirely at your service—this way, sir.” Forthwith Barnabas followed him into another room, where sat the captain, his long legs stretched out before him, his chin on his breast, staring away at vacancy. “Sir.” said Jasper Gaunt, glancing from Barnabas to the captain and back again, “he will not trouble us, I thing, but if you wish him to withdraw—?” “Thank you—no,” answered Barnabas. “Captain Shngsby is my friend!” Jasper Gaunt bowed, and seated himself at his desk opposite Barnabas. His face was in shadow, for the blind had been half-drawn to exclude the glare of the altcrnoon sun, and he sat, or rather lolled, in a low. deeply cushioned chair, studying Barnabas with his eyes that were so bright and so very knowing in the ways of mankind. * a a “F HAVE come,” began Barnabas X at last. “I am here on behalf of one—in whom I take an interest—a great interest.” ‘‘Yes, Mr. Beverley?” “I have undertaken to—liquidate his debts,” “Yes, Mr. Beverley.” “To pay—whatever he may owe, both principal and interest.” “Indeed. Mr. Beverley! And—his name?” “His name is Ronald Barrymaine.” “Ronald—Barrvmaine!” There was a pause between the words, and the smooth, soft voice had suddenly grown so harsh, so deep and vibrant, that it seemed incredible the j words could have proceeded from the lips of the motionless figure lolling in the chair. “I have made out to you a draft for more than enough, as I judge, to cover Mr. Barrymaine’s liabilities.” “For how much, sir?” “Twenty-two thousand pounds.” Then Jasper Gaunt stirred, sighed and leaned forward in his chair. “A handsome sum, sir—a very j handsome sum. but—” and lie smiled and shook him head. “Pray what do you mean by •but’?” demanded Barnabas. “That the sun is—inadequate, sir.” “Twenty-two thousand pounds is not enough then?” “It is—not enough. Mr. Beverley.” “Then, if you will tell me the precise amounts. I will make up the deficiency.” But. here again. Jasper Gaunt smiled his slow smile and shook his head. “That. I grieve to say, is quite impossible. Mr. Beverley.”

, “Why?” "Because I make it a rule never to divulge my clients’ affairs to a j third party; and, sir—l never break my rules.” "Then—you refuse to tell me?” “It is—quite impossible.” m a • INSTALLMENT SIXTY-NINE SO there fell a silence while the wide, fearless eyes of Youth i looked into the narrow, watchful eves of Experience. Then Barnabas rose and began to pace to and fro across the luxuriant carpet; he walked with his head bent, and the hands behind his back were tightly > clenched. Suddenly, he stopped, and. throwing up his head, faced Ja-per Gaunt, who sat lolling back m his chair again. “I have heard.” said he, “that ! the sum was 20.000 pounds, but. as you say. it may be more—a few pounds more or a few hundreds more.” “Precisely, Mr. Beverley." “I am, therefore, going to make | you an offer—” ‘ Which I must—refuse.” “And my offer is this: Instead of 20 non pounds, I will double the ; sum.” Jasper Gaunt's lolling figure grew slowly rigid, and leaning across the he stared up at Barnabas under his hairless brows. Even Cap’ain Slingsby stirred and lifted his heavy head. “Forty thousand pounds!” said Jasper Gaunt, speaking almost in a whisper. “Yes.” said Barnabas, and sitting down, he folded his arms a little I ostentatiously. “I will pay you 40 000 pounds,” said Barnabas. Then, all in one movement, is it seemed. Gaunt had risen and turned to the window, and stood there awhile with his back to the room. “Well?” inquired Barnabas at last. “I—can not, sir.” “You mean—will not!” said Barnabas. clenching his fists. “Can not, sir.” As Gaunt turned, Barnabas rase and approached him until barely a yard separated them, until he could look into the eyes that glittered between their hairless lids. “Very well.’ said Barnabas, “then 111 treble it. I'll pay you 60.- ! 000 pounds! What do you say? Come—speak!” But now’, the eyes i so keen and sharp to read men and the ways of men wavered and fell i before the indomitable steadfastness of unconquered youth. “Speak!” said Barnabas. Yet still no answer came, only Jasper Gaunt sank down In his ! chair w ith his elbows on the desk, j his long, white fare clasped between his long, white hands, staring into vacancy. “Sir.—for the last time —do you accept?” demanded Barnabas. a a a WITHOUT glancing up, or even even altering the direction of his vacant tsare, and with his lace still framed between his hands, Jasper Gaunt shook his head from side to side, once, twice, and thrice: a gesture there was no mistaking. Then Barnabas fell back a step, with clenched list upraised, but in that moment the captain was before him and had caught his arm. “By Gad. Beverley!” he exclaimed in a shaken voice, “are you mad?” “No," said Barnabas, “but I came here to buv those bills, and buy them I will! If trebling it isn't enough, then—” “Ah!” cried Slingsby, pointing to the usurer's distorted face, “can't you see? Don't you guess? He can’t sell! No money-lender of 'em all could resist such an offer. I tell you he daren't sell, the bills aren't his! Come away—” “Not his!” cried Barnabas, “then whose?” (To Be Continued)

Again the panther leaped to its feet and sought to shake the man-thing irom its back; and all the while Tarzan’s mighty arm was tightening about its neck, closing off its wind. With frantic leaps and bounds the panther hurled itself about in the moonlight.

Meanwhile, the ape-man’s companion stood unarmed and heipless. Twice he had tried to run in an dassist Tarzan. Both times the two bodies struck him, sending him spinning across the ground. Now he saw a new factor being Injected into the battle. Tarzan succeeded in drawing his knife.

Momentarily the blade flashed; then it was buried in the body of Sheeta. The cat. screaming from pain and rage, redoubled its efforts to dislodge the creature clinging to it in the embrace of death; but again the knife fell. Then, his great voice forever stilled, the panther sank lifeless to the ground.

The man now laid his hand on the ape-man’s shoulder. He spoke a few words in a tongue Tarzan could not understand, though he guessed it expressed the man's gratitude. Knowing that Numa, the lion, was lurking near. Tarzan, by signs, persuaded the man to pass the night in a tree.
