But it s true—look •t him!” * Tell me.” cried Barnabas, striving to see Gaunt's averted eyes, “tell mo who holds these bills—if you. hate one spark of generosity—tell m*’’” But Jasper Gaunt gave no sign, only the writhing fingers crept •cross his face, over staring eyes and twitching lips. So, presently. Barnabas suffered Captain Slingsby to lead him from the room, and down the somewhr.t dark and winding stair, past the wiwn-faccd clock out into the street already full of the glow of evening. “It's a wonder to me.“ said the captain, "yes. it's a great wonder to me. that nobody has happened to kill Gaunt before now.” So the captain frowned, sighed •nd climbed up to his seat. But when Barnabas would have followed. Billy Button touched him on the •rm “Oh. Bamabv,” said he, “oh. Barnaby Bright, 100k —the day is dying. the shadows are coming—in a little while it will be night. But. Oh Youth, alas! ala*! I can see the shadows have touched you already!” And so. with a quick upflung glance at the dismal house, he turned, waved his hand, and sped •way, ana OHO! for the rush of wind in the hair, for the rolling thunder of galloping hoofs, now echoing on the hard, white road, now muffled in dewy grass. Oho! for the horse and his rider •nd the glory of them; for the long, •winging stride that makes nothing of distance, for the tireless spring of the powerful loins, for the masterful hand on the bridle, strong yet gentle as a crass, for the firm seat —the balance and sway that is an aid to speed, and proves the born rider. And wliat horse should this be but Pour-legs, his black coat glossy and shining in the sun, his great, round hoofs spuming the flying earth, all a-quiver with high courage, with life and the joy of it? And who should be the rider but young Barnabas? He rides with his hat in his whiphand. that he may feel the wind and with never a look behind, for birds are carolling from the cool freshness of dewy wood and copse while out of the green distance •head. Love is calling. So away—away rides Barnabas by village green and lonely cot. past hedge and gate and bam, up hill and down hill—away from the dirt and noise of London, away from its Joys and sorrows, its splendors and its miseries, and from the oncoming. engulfing shadow. Spur and gallop. Barnabas—ride, youth, ride! for the shadow already has touched sou. even as the madman said Therefore, while Youth yet abides while the sun yet shines—ride, Barnabas. ride! All at once, he drew rein and

paced over the dewy grass to where, beneath the hedge, was a solitary man who knelt before a fire of twigs fanning it to a blaze with his wide-eaved hat. He was a slender man. and something stooping of shoulder, and his hair shone silver-white in the sunshine. Hearing Barnabas approach, he looked up, rose to his feet, and so stood staring as one in doubt. Therefore Barnabas uncovered his head and saluted him with grave politeness. “Sir,” said he, reigning in his great horse, "you have not forgotten me. I hope?” “No, indeed, young sir,” answered the Apostle of Peace, with a dawning smile of welcome. “But you are dressed very differently from what I remember. The quiet country youth has become lost, and transfigured into the dashing Corinthian. What a vast difference clothes can make in one!” ‘ But we have only met once before.” said Barnabas. “True! And yet I seem to ha"e known you years ago—that is what puzzles me! But come, young sir—if you have time and inclination to share a vagrant's breakfast. I can offer you eggs and new milk, and bread and butter—simple fare, but more wholesome than your French ragouts and highly-seasoned dishes.” “You are very kind.” said Barnabas, “the ride has made me hungry—besides, I should like to talk with you.” nan INSTALLMENT SEVENTY WHY, then—light down from that Rreat horse of yours, and join me. The grass must be both rhai. -vnd table, but here is a tree for j ar back, and the bank for mine.” So. having dismounted and secured his horse's bridle to a convenient branch, Barnabas sat himself down with his back to the tree, | and accepted the wandering Preacher's bounty as freely as it was ofl sered. And when the Preacher had | spoken a short grace, they began to ! cat, and w hile they ate, to talk, as follows: Barnabas: “It is three weeks, I think, since we met?” The Preacher: “A month, young sir.” Barnabas: “So long a time?” The Preacher: “So short a time. You have been busy, I take it?” Barnabas: “Yes. sir. Since last we met I have bought a house and set up an establishment in London, and I have also had the good [fortune to be entered for the Gentleman's Steeplechase on the fifteenth.” The Preacher: “You are rich, young sir?” Barnabas: “And I hope to be famous also.” The Preacher: “Then indeed do I begin to tremble for you.” Barnabas (staring): “Why so?” Tiie Preacher: “Because wealth is apt to paralyze effort, and fame is generally harder to bear, and far more dangerous, than failure.” Barnabas: “How dangerous, sir?” The Preacher: “Because he who listens too often to the applause of the multitude grows deaf to the voice of inspiration, for it is a very small, soft voice, and must be i hearkened for, and some call it Genius, and some the Voice of God—” Barnabas: “But fame means power, and I would succeed for the sake of others beside myself. Yes. —I must succeed, and. as I think ' you once said, all things are possible to us! Pray, what did you mean?” The Preacher: “Young sir, into ; each of us who are born into this world God puts something of Him- ■ self, and by reason of this Divine | part, all things are possible.” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

1 le ■ at. E -7 f : /' ... .... I I I . IJ

Lost in the Abyssinian wilds, time was not important to the ape-man. The phenomenon of this ivory armored warrior intrigued Tarzan's interest so much that he decided he would solve the riddle his new acquaintance presented. But an exchange of ideas between the two men was difficult.

The stranger indicated by signs that he wished Tarzan to accompany him . . . During the long weeks they traveled together, Tarzan sought to understand the language of his companion. . . In the distance a black maned lion put his nose to the ground like a hunting dog. What did his actions mean?

The ape-man learned his companion s name was VALTHOUR. The warrior was greatly interested in Tarzan's weapons and as he was unarmed, Tarzan made a spear and bow and arrow for him. also teaching the young warrior how to use them. Later they talked of Valthour's country.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

"Never before have I been out of my own country,” said Valthour, "and this maze of mountains confuses me. If you can hold a course northeast. you had better lead the way rather than I. If we resch a point within fifty miles of it we shall see Xarator—a great living volcano.”
