We are going to understand each other before you leave this room! D' you see?” “Yes," said Barnabas. “Oh!" he cried bitterly. “I know the sort of c-crawling thing you are. Gaunt has warned me " "Gaunt is a liar!” said Barnabas. -I say.—he’s told me.—are yc*i listening? Y-you think, because you've bought my debts, you've bought me, too, body and soul, and —through me—Cieone! Ah, but you haven't before that happens y-you‘ll be dead and rotting—and I. and she as well. Are you listening? —she as well! You think you've g-got me—there beneath your foot —b-but you haven't, no, by God, you haven't " "I tell you Gaunt Is a liar!" repeated Barnabas. “I couldn't buy your debts because he had sold them already. Come with me, and I’U prove It—come and let me face him with the truth ” “The truth? You? Oh. I might have guessed you'd come creeping round here to see S-Smivvle behind my back—as you do my sister ” "Sir.” said Barnabas, flushing. "What—do you dare deny It? Do you d-dare deny that you have met hn—-by stealth—do you? do you? Oh. I know of your secret meetings with her. I know how you have imposed upon the credulity of a weakminded old woman and a onearmed d-dotard sufficiently to get yourself invited to Hawkhurst. But I tell you this shall stop—it shall! Yes. by God—you shall give me your promise to c-cease your persecution of my sister before you leave this room, or ” "Or?” said Barnabas. "Or It will be the w-worse for you.” • How?" “I—l’ll k-kill you" "Murder me?” "It's no m-murder to kill your sort!" "Then It Is a pistol you have in your pocket, there?” z "Yes—l—look at It!” And, speaking, Barrymaine drew and leveled the weapon with practiced hand. "Now listen * said he. “You will s-sit down at that table there, and write Gaunt to g-give me all the time I need for your c-cursed Interest ” "But I tell you ” "Liar!” cried Barrymaine, advancing a threatening step. "Liar— I know! Then, after you've done that—you will swear never to see or c-communicate with my sister again, or I'll shoot you dead where you stand—s-so help me God!” "You are mad,” said Barnabas, "I am not your creditor, and " ‘ Liar I know!” repeated Barrymaine. "And yet.” said Barnabas, fronting him, white-faced, across the

table, “I think—l’m sure, there are four things you don't know. The first Is that Lady Cieone has promised to marry me—some day ” “Go on to the next, liar!” m • m “ r PHE second is that my stables X were broken Into again, this morning—the third is that my horse killed the man ’who was trying to hamstring him—and the fourth is that in the dead man's pocket I found—this!” And Barnabas produced that crumpled piece of paper whereon was drawn the plan of the stables. Now. at the sight of this paper, Barrymaine fell back a step, his pistol-hand wavered, fell to his side, and sinking into a chair, he seemed to shrink into himself as he stared dully at a worn patch in the carpet. "Only one beside myself knows of this.” said Barnabas. "Well?” The word seemed wrung from Barrymaine's quivering Up 6. H* lay back in the rickety chair, his arms dangling, his chin upon his breast, never lifting his haggard eyes. and. almost as he spoke, the pistol slipped from his lax fingers and lay all unheeded. "Not another soul shall ever know,” said Barnabas earnestly, "the world shall be none the wiser if you will promise to stop—now—to free yourself from Chichester’s influence, now—to let me help you to redeem the past. Promise me this, and I. as your friend, will tear up this damning evidence—here and now.” "And—if I—c-can’t?” Barnabas sighed, and folding up the crumpled paper, thrust it back into his pocket. "You shall have —a week to make up your mind. You know my address, I think—at least, Mr. Smiwle does.” So saying, Barnabas stepped toward the door, but, seeing the look on Barrymaine's face, he stopped very suddenly, and picked up the pistol. Then he unlocked -the door and went out, closing it behind him. Upon the dark stairs he encountered Mr. Smiwle, who had been sitting there making nervous havoc of his whiskers. "Gad. Beverley!” he exclaimed. “I ought not to have left you alone with him—deuce of a state about it, pon my honor. But what could I and I sat here listening to you both I was afraid.” "So was I,” said Barnabas. "But he will be quiet now, I think. Here is one of his pistols, you’d better hide it. And—forget your differences with him. for if ever a man needed a friend, he does. As for your rent, don’t worry about that, I'll send it round to you this evening. Good-by.” So Barnabas went on down the dark stairs, and being come to the door with the faulty latch, let himself out into the dingy street, and thus came face to face with the man in the fur cap. "Lord, Mr. Barty, sir,” said that worthy, glancing up and down the street with a pair of mild, round eyes, “you can burn my neck if I wasn't beginning to vorry about you, up there all alone vith that 'ere child o’ mine. For. sir, all of the capital coves as ever I see, 'e's vun o’ the werry capital-ist.” INSTALLMENT NINETY-SIX "W/HY*" exclaimed Barnabas, "is VY that you, Mr. Shrig?” "As ever vas, sir. I ain't partial tc disguises as a rule, but circumstances obleeges me to it now and then.” siehed Mr. Shrig as they turned into Hatton Garden. “Ye see, I’ve been keeping a eye —or as you might say, a fatherly ogle on vun o’ my fambly, vich is the v'y and the v'erefore o’ these 'ere viskers.

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

It was Gemnon, Tarzan's one friend in the City of Gold, who greeted the Ape-man as he left thef stadium after his victory over Cathne's strong man. "The queen commands me to look after you.” the young noble said. "This evening I am to bring you to her in the palace.”

As they walked toward the city, Tarzan and Gemnon were surrounded by a chattering mob who commented on the ape-man's giant strength. “You are very popular now,” remarked Gemnon. “A few minutes ago they were screaming to kill me!” Tarzan remarked.

“I am really surprised the people are so friendly,” answered Gemnon. “You cheated them of a death—the one thing they pay their lepta to see. It is the nobles, though, who have the greatest grievance against you. Several of them lost their entire fortunes betting on Phobeg.”

“I fear you have made many powerful enemies among them," he added, "but Nemone won ten million drachmas, which may account for the fact that you are still alive.” "Why shouldn't I be?” asked Tarzan. Gemnon towered his voice as he answered.
