At sight of Barnabas he set a stubby finger to one eyebrow, and chewed faster than ever. * You have a letter for me, I think?" “ Yessir!” “Then give it to me.'' The horsey person coughed, took out his straw, looked at it. shook his head at it. and put it back again. “Name o’ Beverley, sir?" he inquired, chewing feverishly. “Yes." Hereupon the horsey person drew a letter from his pocket, chewed over it a moment, nodded, and finally handed it to Barnabas, who. seeing the superscription, hurriedly broke the seal. Observing which, the horsey person sighed plaintively and shook his head, alternately chewing upon and looking at his straw the while Barnabas read the following: ’ Oh. Barnabas dear, when shall I see you again? I am very foolish today perhaps, but though the sun shines gloriously, I am cold, it is my heart that is cold, a deadly chill—as if an icy hand had touched it. And I seem to be waiting—waiting for something to happen, somothnig dreadful that I can not avert. I fear you will think me weak and fanciful, but. dear. I can not help wondering what it all means. “You ask me if I love you. Can you doubt? How often in my dreams have I seen you kneeling beside me with your neck all bare and the dripping kerchief in your hand. Oh. dear Wood of Annersley! it was there that I first felt your arms about me, Barnabas, and I dream of that too—sometimes. But last night I dreamed of that awful race—l saw you gallop past the winning post again, your dear face all cut and bleeding, and as‘you passed me your eyes looked into mine—such an awful look. Barnabas. And then it se?med that you gallopsed into a great, black shadow that swallowed you up. and so you were lost to me, and I awoke trembling. “Oh. Barnabas, come to me! I want you here beside me, for although the sky here is blue and cloudless, away to the north where London lies, there is a goat, black shadow like the shadow of my dream, and God keep all shadows from you, Barnabas. So come to me—meet me tomorrow —there is a new moon. Come to Oakshotfs Bam at 7 30. and we will walk back to the house together.

THE corner stone of the Washington monument was laid in 1848, but after building to a height of 150 feet, funds ran out.

Barnabas sighed, and glancing up, found the horsey person , still busy with his straw. . “Now,’ 1 said he, “I should like to take the liberty o' axing you one or two questions. Mr. Barty, sir—or as I should say, p'raps. Mr. Beverley.” "What,” exclaimed Barnabas, starting up, “it's you again, Mr Shrig?” "That werry same i-dentical, sir. Disguises again, ye see.

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

“You may rest assured, Tarzan, that M’duze Is your enemy," said Gemnon, "and it may be of value to you to recall that whoever has stood in the old hags path has died a violent death. Beware of M'duze and Tomos and Erct; and. as a friend. I may say to you in confidence, beware of Nemone, the Queen, also.

"Now let’s forget the cruel and sordid side of Cathne and go for a stroll,” said Gemnon. “I want you to see the beauty and riches of the city.” Tarzan was astonished by the scenes that met his eye as the two friends walked along the spacious avenues between the low, white and gold homes of the nobles.

Passing nobles greeted Gemnon; artisans, tradesmen, and slaves stopped to stare at the strange, bronzed giant who they knew had overthrown the strongest man in Cathne. Occasionally they met a tame lion either wardering about or lying before the gate of Its master's grounds.

They came to a high wall that separated this section of the city from the next. Massive gates, guarded by warriors, swung wide for them to pass. Here were the homes of the lesse: citizens, though nowhere was there evidence of poverty. Presently the ?,pe-man’s attention was attracted by a gruesome sight.
