"A fortnight!'' said Barnabas. "And It's been a busy fortnight for both of us. from what I hear." "Yes. viscount." **£.’racially for—you." “Yes, viscount.” "Beverley.” said he. staring very hard at the toe of his varnished shoe, "do you remember the whitehaired man we met, who called him- I seif an apostle of peace?" "Yes, viscount." •'Do you remember that he said It I was meant we should be—friends?" "Yes.” "Well I—think he was right—l'm sure he was right. I—didn't know how few my friends were until I—fell out with you. And so—l'm here to—to ask your pardon, and I—don’t know how to do it, only—oh, deuce take it! Will you give me your hand. Bov?” But before the words had well ] left hi* lips. Barnabas had sprang forward, and so thev stood, hand clasped In hand, looking into each other’* eyes as only true friends tnay. "I—we—owe you so much, Bcv— Clemency has told me—” "Indeed. Dick.” said Barnabas, a little hastily, "you are a fortunate man to have won the love of so beautiful a woman, and one so noble.” "My dead fellow,” said the viscount, very solemn, "it Is so wonderful that, sometimes, I—almost fear that It can't be true.” “The love of a woman Is generally n very uncertain thing!” said Barnabas bitterly. m m * M nUT Clemency Isn't like an ordi•tw nary woman,” said the viscount. smiling very tenderly, “In all the world there Is only one Clemency and she Is all truth, and honor, and purity. Sometimes, Bov, I feel so-so deuced unworthy, that I am almost afraid to touch her.” "Yes, I suppose there are a few such women in the world.” said Barnabas, turning away. "But. speaking of the Apostle of Peace, have you met him again—lately?” "No. not since that morning behind the -Spotted Cow.' Why?” "Well, you mentioned him.” "Whv yes. but only because I couldn't think of any other way of —er —beginning. You were so devilish high and haughty. Bev.” "And what of Clemency?” "She has promised to—to marry m*’. next month—to marry me—me. Brv. Oh, my dear fellow. I'm the very happiest man alive, and. egad, that reminds me! I'm also the discredited and disinherited son of a flinty-hearted Roman.” "What. Dick—do you mean he has •-cut you ofl?” "As much as ever he could, my dear fellow, which reduces my income by a half.

Bev,” sighed the viscount, shaking his head at the reflection of his elegant person in the mirror, "you behold in me a beggar, and the cause—Clemency. But then. I know I am the very happiest beggar in all this aide world, and the cause— Clemency!” "I feared your father a-ould never favor such a match, Dick, but—” "Favor it! Oh. bruise and blister me!—” "Have you told Clemency?” "Not yet—” "Has he seen her?” "No. that’s the deuce of It, she's away with her father, y' know. Bit of a mystery about him. I fancy—she made me promise to be patient a while, and ask no questions.” "And where is she?” "Haven't the least idea. However, I went down to beard my Roman, y* know, alone and single handed. Great mistake! Had Clemency been with me the flintiest of Roman P s would have relented, for who could resist—Clemency? As it was, I did my best, Bev—ran over her points —I mean—tried f> describe her, y’ know, but it was no go, Bev, no go —things couldn't have gone worse!” "How?” INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN ”’QIR,’ says I—in an easy, offhand tone, my dear fellow, and it was after dinner, you’ll understand—Sir, I’ve decided to act upon your very excellent advice, and get married. I intend to settle down, at once!’ ‘lndeed, Horatio?” says he —(Roman of eye. Bev) 'who is she, pray?' ‘The most glorious woman in the world, sir’ says I. Os course,' says he, 'but—which?’ "This steadied me a little, Bev, so I took a fresh grip and began again: 'Sir,' says I, beauty in itself is a poor thing at best— ’ ‘Therefore,’ says my Roman (quick as a flash, my dear fellwi ‘therefore it is just as well that beauty should not come —entirely empty-handed!’ ‘Sir,’says I—( calmly, you'll understand, Bev, but with just sufficient firmness to let him see that, after all, he was only a father) —‘Sir,’ says I. beauty is a transient thing at best, unless backed up by virtue, honor, wisdom, courage, truth, purity, nobility of soul— ’ ” 'Horatio,” says my father (pulling me up short, Bev) ‘you do well to put these virtues first but. in the wife of the future Earl of Barnborough, I hearken for such common, though necessary attributes as birth, breeding, and position, neither of which you have yet mentioned; but I'm impatient, perhaps, and these come at the end of your list—pray continue.’ ’* Sir,’ says I, ‘my future wife is above such petty considerations!’ Ah!’ says my Roman, ‘I feared so! She is then, a—nobody, I presume ’ Sir—most beautiful girl in all England,’ says I. 'Ha ’ says my Roman, nodding, ’then she is a nobody; that settles it.’ 'She's all that is pure land good!’ says I. ‘And a nobody, be’ond a doubt!’ says he. ’She’s everything sweet, noble and brave,’ says I. 'But—a nobody!’ says he again. ‘‘Now’ I'll confess I grew a little heated at this, my dear fellow, though I kept my temper admirably —oh, I made every allowance for him, as a self-respecting son should, but, though filial, I maintained a front of adamant. Bev. But, deuce take it! he kept on at me with his confounded ‘nobody’ so long that I grew restive at last and jibbed. " 'So you are determined to marry a nobody, are you, Horatio?’ says he. No. my Lord,’ says I, rising j 'and with an air of crushing Anility, Bev*, ‘I am about Ho be honored with the hand of one who, by stress of circumstances, was for some time waiting maid at the Spotted Cow inn, at Frittenden.’ Well, Bev—that did it, y’ know (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

ItHttd §S£

At the Queen's frantic cry for her nobles to go to the ape-man's aid, Erot hung back. “Let him take care of himself,” he grumbled. Nemone turned to the guard standing behind her. She was white with appiehension because of Tarzan's danger and with disgyst of Erot.

‘•Throw him into the pit!” she commanded, pointing at the cringing favorite; Erot did not wait to be thrown. A moment later he had followed Gemnon to the stone flagging of the courtyard. But neither Erot nor Gemnon nor the Athnean were needed to save Tarzan.

Already he had sunk the sword into the tawny side. Twice again the point drove into the wild heart before the roaring beast collapsed upon the white stones. Tarzan rose to his feet. Here was no English lord but a jungle beast that had made its kill!

For a moment the men about him, the Queen leaning over the parapet above, the City of Gold, all were forgotten. With one foot upon the carcass of the Hon, the ape-man raised his face toward the heavens and from the palace of Nemone rose the hideous cry of the bull ape!
