Dick ’ Beverley.” said the viscount,! staring wide-eyed, "are you mad?" j "No” Barnabas retorted, "but I take* vou to be an honorable man, my lord.” The viscount sprang to his feet, clenched his fists, then took two or three turns across the room. "Sir," said he. in his Iciest tones, “you presume too much on my friendship.” "My lord ” said Barnabas, "with your good leave 111 ring for my ( servant.” Which he did. forthwith • Sir,” said the viscount, pale and stern, and with folded arms, "your remark was. I consider, a direct reflection upon my honor.” ~My lord,” answered Barnabas, struggling with his breeches, “your honor is surely your friend’s, also?” "Sir,” said the viscount, with arms still folded, and sitting very upright on the bed. "w'ere I to —call you out for that remark I should be only within my rights.” My lord.” answered Barnabas. Struggling with his shirt, “were you to call from now till doomsday—l shouldn't come.” • Then, sir,” said the viscount, cold Bnd sneering, “a whip, perhaps,— or a cane might ” But at this juncture, with a discreel knock. Peterby entered, and. having bowed to the scowling viscount. proceeded to invest Barnabas with polished boots, waistcoat and scarlet coat, and to tie his voluminous cravat, all with that deftness, that swift and silent dexterity which helped to make him the marvel he was. "Sir.” said he. when Barnabas stood equipped from head to foot, "Captain Slingsby’s groom called to say that his master and the Marquis of Jerningham are expecting you and Viscount Dcvenham to breakfast at 'The Chequers’—a little higher up the street, sir. Breakfast is ordered for 8.” "Thank you. Peterby.'’ said Barnabas, and, bowing to the viscount. j followed him from the room and downstairs, out into the dewy fresh- ( ness of the morning. Through all the bustling throng went our two young gentlemen, each remarkably stiff and upright as to back, and each excessively polite, yet walking, for the most part, in a dignified silence, until, having left the crowd behind. Barnabas paused suddenly in the shade of a deserted caravan, and turned to his companion. "Dick!” said he smiling, and with hand outstretched. •"Sir?” said the viscount, frowning and with eyes averted. "My lord.” said Barnabas, bowing profoundly, "if I have offended your lordship—l am sorry, but ”

"But. sir?” "But your continued resentment for a fancied wrong is so much stronger than your avowed friendship for me. it would seem—that henceforth I ” mam WITH a warning cry the viscount sprang forward and, turning in a flash. Barnabas, saw a heavy bludgeon in the air above him; saw the viscount meet it with up-flung arm; heard the thud of the blow, a snarling curse; saw a figure dart away and vanish among the jungle of carts; saw the viscount stagger against the caravan and lean there, his pale face convulsed with pain. "Oh, Bev,” he groaned, "my game army, ye know. Hold me up, I—” •Dick!’’ cried Barnabas, supporting the viscount's writhing figure, "oh. Dick—it was meant for me! Are you much hurt?” "No—nothing to—mention, my dear fellow. Comes a bit—sham at first, y’ know—better in a minute or two.” "Dick—Dick, what can I do for you?” . "Nothing—don't worry. Bev —right as ninepence in a minute, y’ know!’’ stammered the viscount, trying to steady his twitching mouth. "Come back.” pleaded Barnabas, “come back and let me bathe it—have it attended to.” "Bathe it! Pooh!” said the viscount, contriving to smile, “pain's quite gone. I assure you, my dear fellow. I shall be all right now, if—if you don't mind giving me your arm. Egad, Bev, someone seems develish determined you shan't ride today!** "But I shall—now, thanks to you, Dick!” So they presently walked on together, but no longer unnaturally stiff as to back, for arm was locked in arm. and they forgot to be polite to each other. Thus, in a while, they reached the Chequers inn, and were immediately shown into a comfortable sanded parlor where breakfast was preparing. And here behold Captain Slingsby lounging upon two chairs and very' busily casting up his betting book, while the marquis, by the aid of a small, cracked mirror, that chanced to hang against the wall, was frowning at his reflection and pulling at the folds of a most elaborate cravat with petulant fingers. "Ah. Beverley—here’s the dooce of a go!” he exclaimed, “that fool of a fellow of mine has actually sent me out to ride in a 'Trone d'Amour’ cravat, and I’ve only just discovered it! The rascal knows I always take the field in an ‘Osbaldistone’ or Waterfall.* Now how the dooce can I be expected to ride in a thing like this! Most distressing, by Jove it is!” mam INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED "PIGHT THOUSAND guineas” said the captain, yawning. “Steepish, b'gad. steepish Eight thousand at ten to one—hum! Now r , if fortune should happen to smile on me today—by mistake, of course —still, if she does, I shall clear enough to win free of Gaunt's claws for good and all. b'gad!” "Then I shall be devilish sorry to have beat you, Sling, my boy!” drawled the marquis, “yes, doocid sorry—still—” "Eh—what? Boat the Rascal. Jerny? Not on your weedy clinker, b'gad—” "And then—as I've often remarked. my dear Sling, the Rascal is too long in the pasterns, not to mention —’’ "B'gad! give me a horse with good bellows—round, d'ye see. wellribbed home —” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

' ~ I J

Before the Queen addressed him, Tarzan noted the magnificence of the room's interior. Columns of solid gold supported the ceiling; the walls were tiled with ivory; the mosaic floor covered with animals' skins among which was one attracting the ape-man's instant attention.

It was the tanned skin and head of a man. At one end of the room a great lion was chained between two of the golden columns. From the instant the ape-man entered, the white-tufted lion eyed him wickedly; and as Erot left, the beast sprang to his feet with a terrific roar.

I He leaped at the ape-man, but the chains stopped him; and he. dropped down, growling. Beltha does not like you,’’ said Nemone, who had remained unmoved when the beast sprang. She noticed, too, that Tarzan had not started when the lion sprang; and she was pleased.

‘He but reflects the attitude of all Cathne.” replied Tarzan. "That Is not true,” contradicted Nemone. “I like you.” Nemone’s voice was low and caressing. “You defied me before my people at the stadium today, but I did not have you destroyed. Why did I do that?”
