Pah! keep them to help you from the country, for I swear you shall be bounded from every club in London; men shall know you for what you are Now go, before you tempt me to strangle you for a nauseous beast. Go. I say!” Smiling still, but with a devil looking from his narrowed eyes. Mr. , Chichester slowly viewed Barnabas from head to foot, and. turning. 1 ‘rolled away, swinging his tasseled walking cane as he went, with Barnabas close behind him. pistol in hand, even as they had once walked months before. Now at this moment it was that Cleone. yet kneeling beside Barrymame. chanced to espy a crumpled piece of paper that lay within a yard of her, and thus, half unwittingly, she reached out and took it up. glanced .at it w ith j ague eyes, then started, and knitting her black brows, read these words: "My Dear Barnabas—The beast has discovered me. I thought I only scorned him, but now I know I fear him, too. So, in my dread, I rum to you. Yes. I will go now—anywhere you wish. Fear has made me humble, and I accept- your offer. Oh, take me away—hide me, anywhere, so shall I always be “Your grateful, “CLemency.” BBS THUS, in a while, when Barrymaine opened his eyes, it was : to see Cleone kneeling beside him I with bent head, and with both i hands clasped down upon her bosom, fierce hands that clenched a ' crumpled paper between them. At first he thought she was weeping, but, when she turned towards him, he saw that her eyes were tearless and very bright, and that on either cheek burned a vivid patch of color. “Oh, Ronald!” she sighed, her lips quivering suddenly, “I—am glad you are better —but—oh, my dear, I wish I—were dead!” “There, there, Clo!” he muttered, patting her stooping shoulder, “I f-frightened you. I suppose. But I'm all right now. dear. W-where’s Chichester?” "I—don’t know, Ronald.” “But you. Cleone? You came here 1 i to m-meet this—this Beverley?” “Yes, Ronald.” “Do’ you know w-w That he is? D’ you know he’s a publican’s son? —a vile, low fellow masquerading as a g-grntleman? Yes, he’s a p-publican's son, I tell you!” he repeated. seeing how she shrank at this. “And you s-stoop to such as he —s-stoop to meet him in s-such a place as this! So I came to save you f-from yourself!” “Did you. Ronald?” “Yes—but oh. Cleone, you don’t 1-1-love the fellow, do you?” “I think I—hate him. Ronald.” “Then you won’t m-meet him again?” “No. Ronald.” “And you'll try to be a little kinder—to C-Chichester?” Cleone shivered and rose to her feet. “Comp!” said she. her hands once more clasped upon her bosom, “it grows late, I must go.” “Yes. D-devilish depressing place this! G-give me your arm, Clo.” But as they turned to go, the bushes parted, and Barnabas appeared. “Cleone!” he exclaimed. “I—l'm going home!” she said, not looking at him. “Then I will come with you—if I may?” “I had rather go—alone—with my brother.” “So pray-stand aside, sir!” said Barrymaine haughtily through his swollen lips, staggering a little dej spite Cleone’s arm. “Sir,” said Barnabas pleadingly, “I struck you a while ago, but it was the only way to save you from —a greater evil, as you know —” "He means I threatened to s-shoot him. Clo—so I did. but it was for your sake, to sh-shield you from—persecution as a brother should.” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

“Nemone is capricious,” Gemnon warned Tarzan as tney reached the palace. ‘ She is always bored and seeking relief from her boredom. Oftentimes she flnds strange avenues of escape that makes one wonder if her mind—but no! That may not even be whispered.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES

Tarzan was immediately admitted to the ivory room, where he found Nemone and her favorite courtier Erot, much as he had found them the previous night. The Queen greeted him with an eager smile, but Erot only scowled darkly, making no effort to conceal his hatred.

“We are having a diversion this morning," Nemone explained, ‘‘and we summoned you and Gemnon to enjoy it with us. Yesterday, my raiding warriors captured an Athnean noble; we are going to have some sport with him.” Tarzan did not understand what she meant. #

Nor was he particularly interested. He was thinking of the old hag, M’duze, and the night before, wondering what was in the mind of this strange, fascinating woman before him. "Go and tell them we are ready,” she directed Erot. and ascertain if all is in readiness.”
