He was roused bv a couch, the m<*t per- j lectly discreet and gentleman-like cough in the world, such a couch indeed, as only a bom waiter could j emit. "Sir.” inquired the waiter, rus , napkin in a greater flutter than ever, as Barnabas looked up. "sir,; —is there hanythink you re wanting, *ir?” . , ‘Yes,” said Barnabas, heavily, you can—give me —my hat!’ j m n n THE Gentleman - in - Powder,; aware of a knocking, yawned, laid aide the Gazette, and getting upon his legs ' which, like all things j trulv dicmfied. were never given to , hurry, they, in due season, brought him to the door, albeit they shook with indignant quiverings at the • increasing thunder of each repeated summons. Therefore the Gentleman-in- ! Powder, with his hand upon the latch, having paused long enough to vindicate and compose his legs, proceeded to open the portal of No. 5. St. James’ Square; but. observing the person of the importunate ! knocker, with that classifying and discriminating eye peculiar to footmen. immediately frowned and shook his head. “The hot her door, me manmarked ‘tradesmen.’” said he, the angle of his nose a little more supercilious than usual, "and ring only, if you please " Having said which, he shut the door again; that is to say—very nearly, for strive as he might, his efforts were unavailing, by reason of a round and somewhat battered object which, from its general conformation. he took to be the end of a formidable bludgeon or staff. But. applving his eve to the aperture, he saw that this very obtrusive object was nothing more or less than a leg 'that is to say, a wooden one>, which was attached to the person of a burly, broad-shouldered, fiercely bewhiskered man in clothes of navy-blue. "Avast there!” said this personage in deep, albeit jovial tones, “ease away there, my lad—stand by and let old Timbertoes come aboard!” But the Gentleman-in-Powder was not to be cajoled. He sniffed. "The hother door, me good feller!” he repeated, relentless but dignified. "and ring only, if you pi—” The word was frozen upon his horrified lip. for Timbertoes had actually set his blue-clad shoulder to the door, and now, bending his brawny back, positively began to heave at it with might and main, cheering and encouraging himself meanwhile with sundry nautical "yo ho's.” 0 0 0 117 HEREUPON ensued the folW lowing colloquy: The Gentleman - in - Powder • pushing from within. Shocked and amazed*; ‘Wots this? Stop it. Get out. now, d'ye hear!”

According to orders I hove anchor and bore up from London early this morning, but being strange to these 'ere waters, was obliged to haul my wind and stand off and on till I fell in with a pilot, d'ye see. But. though late, here I am all ship-shape and a-tauto, and with dispatches safe and sound. What, now!” Hereupon the bosun removed the glazed hat, held it to his hairy ear, shook it, nodded, and from somewhere in its interior took out and held up three letters. "Dve see those, my lad?” he inquired. The Gentleman - in - Powder (haughtily): "I ain’t blind!” Timbertoes: “Why, then—you'll know what they are, prhaps?” The Gentleman -in - Powder (witheringly): "Nor I ain't a fool, neether.” Timbertoes (dubiously): "Ain’t you. though?” The Gentleman-in-Powder (legs again noticeably agitated*: ‘‘No I ain't. I've got all my faculties about me.” Timbertoes 'shaking head incredulously: "Ah! but where do you stow 'em away?” The Gentleman-in-Powder (legs convulsed): "And —wat's more. I've got my proper amount o’ limbs too!” Timbertoes: “Limbs? If it's legs you're meaning. I should say as you'd got more nor your fair share —you're all legs, you are! Why, Lord! you're grow'd to legs so surprising. as I wonder they don’t walk off with you. one o’ these here dark nights, and lose you!” 000 INSTALLMENT EIGHTY-FOUR BUT at this juncture came Peterby. sedate, grave, soft of voice as became a major-domo and the pink of a gentleman's gentleman, before whose quick bright eye the legs of the Gen leman-in-Power grew, as it were, suddenly abashed, and to whom the Bosun, having made a leg, forthwith addressed himself.

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

-Do you not realize, ignorant slave, low savage, that vou are addressing Nemone, the queen!" cried Tomos to Tarzan. The ape-man made no reply; he did not even look at Tomos; his eyes were fxed upon Nemone. She fascinated him. but whether as a thing of beauty or a thing of evil, he did not know.

He only knew that few women, other than La, the High Priestess of the Flaming God. had ever so wholly aroused his interest and curiosity. Tomos turned to the under-officer that was guarding Tarzan and Phobeg. "Take them away,” he snapped. "Back to their cells until we are ready to destroy them.”

“Wait!” said Nemone. “I would know more of this man,” and then she turned to Tarzan. "So you came to kill me!” Her voice was smooth, almost caressing. At the moment the woman reminded Tarzan of the cat that is playing with its victim. ‘ Perhaps they choose a good man for the purpose.” she said.

“You look as though you might be equal to any feat of arms,” she commented. “Killing a woman is no feat of arms,” replied Tarzan. “I do not kill women. I did not come here to kill you." “Then WHY did you come to Onthar?” inquired the queen in her silky, sinister voice.
