And the roses will fade and wither—as all things must, it seems," said Barnabas bitterly, whereupon the viscount turned and looked at him and laid a hand upon his shoulder. “Why, Bev,” said he, “my dear old Bev —what is it? You’re greatly changed, I think; it isn't like you to be a cynic. You are my friend, but if you were my bitterest enemy I should forgive you, full and freely. because of your behavior to Clemency. My dear fellow, are you in any trouble—any danger? I have been away only a week, yet I come bark to find the town humming with stories of your desperate play.

One o'clock was striking as the game broke up. and there's ; Beverley yawning and waiting for his hat. d’ ye see, when in comes the Golden Ball. ’Ha. Beverley!’ says he, “you gamble. they tell me?’ ‘Oh, now and then,’ says Beverley. 'Why then,’ says Golden Ball, ’you may have heard that I do a little that way. myself?’ ’Now you mention it, I believe I have.’ says Beverley. ‘Ha!’ says Golden Ball, winking at the rest of us, 'suppose we have a match, you and I —call your game.’ ‘Sir.’ says Beverley, yawning again, ‘it is past 1 o'clock, and I make it a rule never to play after 1 o’clock except for rather high stakes.’ <Rather high stakes, says he! and to the Golden Ball—oh curse me!) 'Do you, begad!’ says Golden Ball, purple in the face—‘ha! you may nave heard that I occasionally venture a hundred or so myself—whatever the hour! Waiter—cards!’ “ Sir.’ says Beverley, ‘l've been playing ever since 3 this afternoon and I’m weary of cards.’ ‘Oh, just as you wish,’ says Golden Ball, ‘at battledore and shuttlecock I’m your man, or rolling the bones, or—’ ‘Dice, by all means!’ says Beverley, yawning again. ‘At how much a throw?’ says Golden Ball, sitting down and rattling the box. ‘Well,’ says Beverley, 'a thousand, I think, should do to begin with!’ (‘A thousand,’ says he, damme if he didn’t!) Oh Gad, but you should have seen the Golden Bail, what with surprise and his cravat, I though he’d choke —shoot me if I didn't! “Done!" says he at last <for we were all round the table thick as flies you’ll understand*—and to it they went, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Beverley had bubbled him of close on seven thousand! Quickest thing I ever saw. oh, curse me!" “Oh, Bev,” sighed the viscount, under cover of the ensuing talk and laughter, “what a perfectly reckless fellow you are!” “Why. you see, Dick," Barnabas answered, as Peterby re-entered with his hat and cloak, "a man can't always lose!" “Beverley," said the marquis, proffering his arm, “I have my chariot below; I thought we might drive round to the club together, you and Devenham and I, if you are ready?” “Thank you, marquis, yes, I’m quite ready.” Thus, with a marquis on his right, and a viscount on his left, and divers noble gentlemen in his train, Barnabas went forth to his triumph. nun INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN NEVER had White’s, that historic club, gathered beneath its roof a more distinguished company; dukes, royal and otherwise, elbow each other on the stairs; earls and marquises sit cheek by jowl; viscounts and baronets exchange snuffboxes in corners, but one and all take due and reverent heed of the flattehed revers and the innovation of the riband. Yes. White's is full to overflowing for, tonight, half the Fashionable World is here, that is to say, the masculine half; beaux and wits; bucks and Corinthians; dandies and macaronis; all are here and, each and every, with the fixed and unshakable purpose of eating and drinking to the glory and honor of Barnabas Beverley.

Hearing the ape-man's victory cry. Gemnon and Erot shuddered, and Nemone, the Queen, drew back in terror; but the Athnean was unmoved; he had heard that savage challenge before. He was Valthor! And now Tarzan turned, all the savagery faded from his face.

The ape-man stretched forth a hand and laid it on Valthour’s shoulder, saying, “We meet again, my friend," "And once again you save my life!” exclaimed the Athnean noble. Tarzan spoke rapidly, in a whisper. “They must not know we are acquainted.

Tarzan was fearful the old story that he had come from Athne to assassinate Nemone would be revived if any one knew he had met Valthor, the Athnean before. Then only a miracle could save either of them. Nemone was now calling orders rapidly to those about her.

She spoke in the imperious tones of one long accustomed to implicit obdience and her voice brought the chill of sudden fear to Erot, who recalled the fate of other fallen favorites of the Queen. Into his cunning brain came a scheme of revenge.
