But had you constantly doubted your powers and counted failure even as a possibility, you might still have dreamed of your success—but neve - achieved It." "Why then," sighed Barnabas, rising. "it aeema that failure has marked me for her own at last, for never was man fuller of doubt than L” a a a NIGHT was falling as. turning turning out of St. James' Square, Barnabas took his way along Charles street and so. by way of the Strand, toward Blackfriars. For the first half-mile or so he kept his eyes well about him, but, in frowning thought, and so walked on, lost in gloomy abstraction. Thus, as he crossed Blackfriars bridge he was quite unaware of one who followed him step by step, though upon the other side of the way; a gliding, furtive figure, and one who also went with coat buttoned high and face hidden beneath shadowy hat-brim. On strode Barnabas, all unconscious, with his mind ever busied with thoughts of Cleone and the sudden, unaccustomed doubt in himself and his future that had come upon him. Presently he turned off to the right along a dirty street of squalid, tumble-down houses; a narrow, ill-lighted street which, though comparatively quiet by day, now hummed with a dense and seething life. On he went, past shambling figures, indistinct iii the dusk; past figures that slunk furtively aside, or crouched to watch him from the gloom of some doorway; past ragged creatures that stared, haggard-eyed; past faces sad and faces evil that flitted by him in the dark, or turned to scowl over hunching shoulders. Thus, at last. Barnabas reached a certain narrow alley, beyond which was the river, dark, mysterious, and full of sighs and murmurs. And, being come to the door of Nick the Cobbler, he knocked upon it with his stick. It was opened, almost immediately. by Clemency herself. "I saw you coming." she said, giving him her hand, and so led him through the dark little shop, into the inner room. *1 came as soon as I could. Clemency.” -Yes. I knew you would come.” she answered, with bowed head. "I am here to take you away to a cottage I have found for you—a place in the country*, where you will be safe until I can find and bring your father to you.” As he ended, she lifted her head and looked at him through gathering tears. •'How good—how kind of yc !” she said, very softly, "and oh, I thank you. indeed I do—but —” “But. Clemency?" "I must stay—here.”

NEPTUNE was discovered in 1846. and its discovery is regarded as ®ne of the most remarkable triumphs of mathematical astronomy. For many years the irregularities in the actions of the planet Uranus baffled science. Then Levemer reached the conclusion that another planet waa the cause. • • • NEXT—Do birds fly hone in winterT

"In this awful place! Why?” Clemency flushed, and looking down at the table, began to pleat a fold in the cloth with nervous fingers. “Poor little Nick hasn’t been very well lately, and I—can't leave him alone—" she began. "Then bring him with you.” "And.” she continued slowly, "when I wrote you that letter I was —greatly afraid, but I'm—not afraid any longer. And oh. I couMn't leave London yet— couldn't!” a a a NOW while she spoke, Barnabas saw her clasp and wring her hands together, that eloquent gesture he remembered so well. Therefore he leaned across the table and touched those slender fingers very gently. "Why not? Tell me your trouble, my sister." Now Clemency bowed her dark head, and when she spoke her voice was low and troubled: * j "Because —he is ill —dangerously ill, Milo tells me, and I—l am nearer to him here in London. I can go. sometimes, and look at the house where he lies. So you see, I can not leave him, yet.” "Then—you love him, Clemency?’’ 1 "Yes,” she whispered, ‘‘yes, oh yes. always—always! That was why I ran away from him. Oh. I love him so much that I grew afraid of my love, and of myself, and of him. Because he is a great gentleman, and I am only—what I am.” "Avery good and beautiful woman!” said Barnabas. "Beauty!” she sighed, "oh, it is only for that he—wanted me, and dear heaven! I love him so much that—if he asked me—l sea and she hid her burning face in hands that trembled. “Clemency!” The word was hoarse and low, scarcely more than a whisper, but. even so. Clemency started and lifted her head to stare wide-eyed at the figure leaning in the door way, with one hand outstretched to her appealingly; a tall figure, cloaked from head to foot, with hat drawn low; ever his brows, his right arm car- j ried in a sling. And as she gazed, | Clemency uttered a low, soft cry, and rose to her feet. "My lord!” she whispered, "oh, my lord!" "Dearest!" a a a INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN THE viscount stepped into the room and. uncovering his head, sank upon his knees before her. “Oh, Clemency,” said he, "the door was open and I heard it all—every word. But, dearest, you need never fear me any more—never any more, because I love you. Clmency, and here upon my knees, beg you to honor me by—marrying me. if you will stoop to such a pitiful thing as I am. Clemency, dear, I have been ill, and it has taught me many things, and I know that I—can not live without you. So. Clemency, if you will take pity on me—oh, Clemency—!” The viscount stopped, still kneeling before her with bent head, nor did he look up or attempt to touch her as he awaited her ansjver. Then, slowly, she reached on* and stroked that bowed and humble head. and. setting her hands upon his drooping shoulders, she sank to her kneees before him. so that now he could look into the glowing beauty of her face and behold the deep, yearning tenderness of her eyes. •‘Dear.” said she very gently, "dear, if you want me so much you have only to—take me!” "For my viscountess, Clemency!” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

“I wish to be nice to you, Nemone,’’ answered Tarzan, “but not at the price of my self-respect. That is not the only reason why I shall NEVER kneel to you.” “Name the other reason!” the Queen demanded. "That I wish you to like me.” he replied, "and you would not like me if I cringed to you.”

“Perhaps you are right,” she admitted, irtusingly. “Oh, Tarzan, I wish you would promise to remain in Cathne. If you will, there is nothing you may not have from Nemone. We—you could be very happy here.” The ape-man shook his head. “Tarzan is happy only in jungles.”

Nemone leaned close to him; she seized him fiercely by the shoulders. “I will make you happy here,” she whispered. “You do not know me. The time will come when you will want to stay—for me!” “Erot and WTduze and Tomos may think differently,” Tarzan reminded her.

“I hate them!” cried Nemone. “If they interfere, I shall kill them all. This time even M'duze shall not rob me of my happiness. As for EroL I have long been tired of him; he is a fool.” The door opened and Erot entered uncremoniously. giving no sign he had heard.
