But you needn t lack for a position—every dandy of 'em will be wild to ggf you. And, because you are the very best valet in the world, you can demand your own terms.” "Yes, sir.” "And now, I think that is all, I | shan't want you again tonight—stay ■ though, before I go to bed bring me the things I wore I first met you, the garments which as clothes, j you told me. didn't exist.” "Sir, may I ask you a question?” j "Oh. yes—if you wish,” sighed j Barnabas, wearily. "Are you leaving London, sir?” "I'm leaving the World of Fashion—yes.” "And you—don't wish me to accompany you, sir.” "No.” "Have I—displeased you in any way?” "No, it is only that the ‘best valet in the world’ would be wasted on me any longer, and I shall not need you where I am going.” "Not as a—servant, sir?” "No.” "Then, sir, may I remind you that I am also a—man? A man who owes all that he is to your generosity and noble trust and faith. And, sir, it seems to me that a man may sometimes venture where a servant may not —if you are indeed done with the Fashionable World. I have done with it also, for I shall never serve any other than you.* a B B cpHEN Barnabas turned away, and, coming to the mantel, leaned there, staring blankly down at the empty hearth; and in a while he spoke, though without looking up; "The Fashionable World has turned its polite back upon me, Peterby, because I am only the son of a village inn-keeper. But—much more than this—my lady has—has lost her faith in me. my fool's dream is over—nothing matters any more. And so I am going away. "Sir,” sad Peterby, "when do w-e start?” Then, very slowly, Barnabas lifted his heavy head and looked at John Peterby; and, in that dark hour, smiled, and, reaching out, caught and grasped his hand: also, when he spoke again, his voice was less hard and not so steady as before: "Oh, John!” said he, “John Peterbv—my faithful John! Come with me if you will, but you come as my —friend.” "And —where are we going, sir?” inquired John, ns they stood thus, hand in hand, looking into each other's eyes. "To Giles’ Rents, John—down by the river.” And thus did Barnabas, in getting rid of the "best valet in the world,” find for himself a faithful friend instead. No. 5 St. James’ square was to

GREENLAND, with the exception of a stnp alone the west coast, a wider strip on the north, and a narrow margin on the east, is hidden under a great ice cap. rising to a thickness of 9.000 feet.

let; its many windows were blank 1 and shuttered. Barnabas paused to let his gaze wander over it, from roof to pavement, then, smiling, a little bitterly, buried his chin in the folds of his , belcher neckerchief and thrusting his hands deep into his pockets, j turned and went his way. Evening was falling and the, square seemed deserted save for a solitary man in a neckcloth of vivid hue, a dejected-looking man who I lounged against the wall under the i shade of the trees In the middle of the square, and seemed lost in contemplation of his boots. And yet when Barnabas, having traversed Charles street and turned i into the Haymarket, chanced to look back, he saw that the man was lounging dejectedly after him. Therefore Barnabas quickened his steps, and. reaching the crowded Strand, hurried on through the bustling throng; but just beyond Temple Bar, caught a glimpse of the vivid neckcloth on the opposite side of the road. B B B HALFWAY down crowded Leath- i er Lane Barnabas turned off down a less frequented street and halting just beyond the corner wait- | ed for his pursuer to come up. And | presently round the corner he came, and, in his hurry, very’ nearly stum- j bled over Barnabas, who promptly reached out a long arm and pinned him by the vivid neckcloth. "Why do you follow me?” he demanded. ’Toiler you?” repeated the man. "You have been following me all the way.” "Have I?” said the man. "You know' you have. Come, what do you want?” "Well, first.” said the man, sighing dejectedly, "leggo my neck, will ye be so kind?” "Not till you tell me why you follow me.” "Why, then,” said the man, "listen and I’ll tell ye.” "Well?” demanded Barnabas. But, all at once, and quick as a flash, with a wrench and a cunning ] twist, the man had broken away j and, taking to his heels, darted off down the street and was gone. For a moment Barnabas stood hesitating, undecided whether to go on to Barrymaine's lodging or no, | and finally struck off in the opposite direction, toward Gray’s Inn lane, and so by devious ways eventually arrived at the back door of the Gun, on which he forthwith knocked. It was opened, almost immediately, by Corporal Richard Roe himself, who stared a moment, smiled, and thereupon extended a huge hand. "What, Is it you, sir?” he exclaimed, "for a moment I didn’t know ye. Step in, sir, step in, we’re proud to see ye.” So saying, he ushered Barnabas down two steps into the small but very snug chamber that he remembered, with its rows upon rows of shelves whereon a whole regiment of bottles and glasses were drawn up in neat array. INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE IN a great elbow chair beside the ingle, with a cushion at his back and another beneath one foot, sat ' Mr. Shrig puffing at a pipe and with his little reader open on the table j at his elbow. He looked a little , thinner and paler than usual, and Barnabas noticed that one leg was; swathed in bandages, but his smile i was as innocent and guileless and his clasp as warm as ever as they greeted each other.

TARZAN AM) THE CITY OF COLD

Erot and his bosom friend, the rat-like Xerstle, were facing a crisis, and they were terrified. "But there must be something you can do,” insisted Xerstle. "I have seen M’duze,” replied Erot wearily. "She has promised to help, for it means as much to her as it does to me.”

"But the Queen is infatuated with this stranger. M'duze, knowing Nemone all her life, told me she has never seen Nemone so affected as she is by this naked barbarian, Tarzan. M'duze feels she may not be able to control Nemone and I tell you, the old hag Is frightened!

‘"We know, Xerstle, that Nemone hates M'duze, and if the attempted thwarting of this new passion arouses her anger sufficiently, it may sweep away the fear that the Queen has always held for M'duze, and Nemone will destroy her. Both Tomos and M'duze herself fear this!”

“But there must be some way,” again insisted Xerstle. ‘There is no way, so long as this fellow Tarzan holds the Queen’s affections. By the man# of Thooe, he speaks to her as one might to a slave girl!” ‘But ther> is a way!” exclaimed Xerstl# in a whisper. "Listen!”
