It .seemed to him that it spoke no more but had tak‘-n on anew and awful sound; tor now its slow, rhythmic beat was hatefully like another sound, a soft sound and regular, a small, dull, plashing sound—the awful tap! tap! tap! of great, slow-falling drops of blood. ana WITH this dreadful sound in his ears, Barnabas hurried away from Mint place of horror; but ever the ound pursued him. It echoed in his step, it panted in his j quickened b;lathing, it throbbed in the pulsing of his heart. Hot-foot went Barnabas, by dingy streets and silent houses, and with his chin i. v on one should, now on the other; and thus, he presently found him • If before a certain door and. remembering Its faulty catch, tried it but found it fast. Therefore he knocked, softly at first, but louder and louder until at length the door was plucked suddenly open and a woman appeared, a slatternly! creature who bore a candle none too , steadily, "Now' then, owdacious,” she began, somewhat slurring of speech, j "What d'ye want—this time o’night j —knocking at ’spectable door of a , person?” “Is Mr. Barrymaine in?” "Mist’ Barrymaine?" repeated the; woman, scattering grease spots as she raised the candle in her unsteady hand, ‘what d’ ye wan’ this time o’ ” Hi re, becoming aware of the mag- 1 nificcnce of the visitor's attire, she dropped Barnabas a floundering curtsy and showered the step with grease-spots. “Cau I see Mr. Barrymaine?” “Yes, sir—this way, sir, an' min’ the step, sir. See Mist’ Barrymaine, yes. sir, firs’ floor —an’ would you be j so good as to ax 'im to keep ’is feet ! still, or, as you nught say. ’is trotters. sir " “His feet?” “Also ’is legs, sir. If you’d be so very obleeglng. sir.” "What do you mean?" "Come an' listen, sir!” So saying, the woman opened a door and stood with a linger pointing unsteadily upwards. "Been a-doing of it ever since ’e came in a hour ago. It ain’t loud, p r aps, but it’s ; worriting—very worriting. If *e j wants to dance ’e might move about j a bit 'stead o’ keeping in one place all the time —’ark!” And she pointed with her quavering finger to a certain part of the ceiling whence came the tramp! tramp! of restless feet; and yet the feet never moved away. "111 go up!” said Barnabas, and, nodding to the slatternly woman, he hurried along the passage and mounting the dark stair, paused before a dingy door. Now, setting his ear to the panel, he heard a sound —a muffled sound, hoarse but continuous, ever and anon rising to a wail only to sink again, yet never quite ceasing. Then, feeling the door yield to his hand, Barnabas

I opened it and, stepping softly Into | the room. The place was very dark, except where the moon sent a fugitive beam through the uncurtained window, and face downward across this pale light lay a huddled figure from whose unseen lips the sounds issued—long. awful, gasping sobs; a figure that stirred and writhed like one in torment. Barnabas drew a step nearer, and, I on the instant, the grovelling figure started up to an elbow; thus, stooping down, Barnabas looked into the haggard face of Ronald Barrvmaine. ' Beverley-'" he gasped, "w-what d'you want? Go away,—l-leave me!” INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED NINTEEN. said Barnabas, "it is you i v who must go away—at once. You must leave London tonight!” "W-what d’ you mean?” "You must b" clear of England by j tomorrow night at latest.” Barrvmaine stared up at Barnabas wide-eyed and passed his tongue to and fro across his lips before he spoke again: "Beverley, w-what d’ you—mean?’’ "I know why you keep your right hand hidden!” said Barnabas. Barrymaine shivered suddenly, but his fixed stare never w’avered, only, as he crouched there, striving to speak yet finding no voice, upon his furrowed brow and pallid cheek ran glittering lines of sweat At last he contrived to speak again, but in a whisper now: "W-what do you mean?" "I mean that tonight I found this scrap of cloth, and I recognized It as part of the cuff of your sleeve, and I found It clenched in Jasper Gaunt’s dead hand.” With a hoarse, gasping cry Barrymaine cast himself face down upon the floor again and WTithed there like one in agony. "I d-did'nt mpan to—oh, God! I never m-meant it!” he groaned and, starting to his knees, he caught at Barnabas with wild, imploring hands: "Oh, Beverley, I s-swear to you I never meant to do it. I went there tonight to 1-leam the truth, and he th-threatened me—threatened me, I tell you, s-so we fought and he was s-strong and swung me against the w-wall. And then, Beverley—as we s-struggled—somehow I g-got hold of—of the dagger and struck at him—b-blindly. And—oh, my God, Beverley—l shall never forget how he—ch-choked; I can hear it now! But I didn’t mean to —do it. Oh, I s-swear I never meant it, Beverley—so-so help me, God!” "But he is dead,” said Barnabas, “and now T —” “Y-you won’t give me up, Beverley?” cried Barrymaine, clinging to his knees. "I wronged you, I know-n-now, but don't give me up. I'm not afraid to d-die like a g-gentle-mnn should, but—the gallows—oh, my God!” “No, you must be saved—from that!” "Ah—w'-will you help me?” "That is why I came.” "W-what must I do?” "Start for Dover—tonight.” “Yes—yes, Dover, B-but I have no money.” "Here are twenty guineas, they will help you well on your way. When they are gone you shall have more.” n a a Beverley, i—wronged you, but I know now who my c-creditor really is—l know who has been m-my enemy all along— oh. blind f-fool that I’ve been—but I know—now. And I think it’s t-turned my brain. Beverley—my head's all confused—wish D-Dig were here. But I shall be better s-soon. It was D-Dover you said, I think?” "Yes—but now, take off that coat.” (To Be Continued)

“I am not afraid of your threats,” said Tarzan to the Queen, "but I am amazed that one so beautiful can be so heartless. Were you a little more human. Nemone, you would be irresistible.” The anger faded from the Queen's eyes; she moved on in silence, suddenly thoughtful.
