I should have come round here days ago to inquire how you were, Mr. Shrig. only that my time has been —much occupied—of late.” “Veil, sir,” said Mr. Shrig, puffing hard at his pipe, "from all accounts I should reckon as it ’ad. By Goles! but ve vas jest talking about you. sir, the worry i-dentical moment as you knocked at the door. I vas jest running over my little reader and telling the corp the v’y and the v’erofore as you couldn't ha’ done the deed.” “What deed?” “V’y—the deed. The deed as all London is a-talking of. —the murder o’ Jasper Gaunt, the moneylender.” "Ah!” said Barnabas thoughtfully. “And so you are quite sure that I—didn't murder Jasper Gaunt, are you. Mr. Shrig?” “Quite —oh. Lord love you, yes!” “And why?” “Because,” said Mr. Shrig with his guileless smile, and puffing out a cloud of smoke and watching it. vanish ceilingwards. “because I ’appen to know ’oo did.” "Oh!” said Barnabas more thoughtfully than ever. "And who do you think it is?” "Veil, sir,” answered Mr. Shrig ponderously, “from con-clusions as I've drawed I don't feel at liberty to name no names nor yet cast no insinuations, but— von the other traps isich werry smart coves too!)

! I've drawed I'm sure and sartin ’oo did the deed. But come, sir. vot do you say to a glass o' the Vun and Only, to drink a quick despatch to the guilty party?” But the clock striking eight, Barnabas shook his head and rose. Thank you, but I must be going." said he. “V'y if you must, you must,” sighed Mr. Shrig as they shook hands; "good evening, sir. an’ if anything unpleasant should 'appen to you in the next day or two—Jest tip me the vord.” "What do you mean by unpleasant. Mr. Shng?” "Veil, took up p'r aps, or shall ve say—arrested.—by some o’ the other traps—6ich werrv smart coves, too!” "Do you think it likely, Mr Shrig?” "Veil, sir,” said Mr. Shrig, with his placid smile, "there’s some traps as is so uncommon smart that they’ve got an ’abit of arresting innercent parties verever found, d’ ye see. But if they should ’appen to lav their ’ooks on ye, jest tip me the office, sir.” "Thank you,” said Barnabas, ‘ I shan't forget.” and, with a final nod to Mr. Shrig, turned and followed the corporal into Gray’s Inn Lane. ana NOW when Barnabas would have gone his way the corporal stayed him with a very large, but very gentle hand, and thereafter stood, nibbing his shaven chin with his shining hook and seeming very much abashed. “What is it, corporal?” Barnabas inquired. "Well sir,” said the soldier diffi- | rientlv, “it’s like this. sir. my pal Jarsper and me, ’aving heard of—of your—altered circumstances, sir, wishes it to be understood as once your pals, ever your pals, come shine, come rain. We likewise wish it to be understood as if at any time a—a guinea w r ould come in ’andylike, sir—or say two or three, my pal Jarsper and me will be proud to oblige, proud, sir. And lastly, sir, my pal Jarsper and me wrould ’ave you to know as if at any time you want a friend to your back, there's ! me and there’s ’im—or a roof toj your 'ead, why there’s ever and j always the Gun open to you, sir.” j But, or ever the blushing corporal could escape, Barnabas caught and wrung his hand: “And I, corporal.” said he, “I wish you both to know that I am proud j to have won two such stanch friends, and that I shall always esteem it an honor to ask your aid or take your hands—good night, corporal!” So saying, Barnabas turned upon his heel. He took an intricate course by winding alleys and narrow side streets, keeping his glance well about him until at length he came to a certain door in a certain dingy street —and. finding the faulty latch yield to his hand, entered a narrow, dingy hall and groped his wav up the dingiest stairs in the world. ana NOW all at once he fancied he heard a stealthy footstep that climbed on in the darkness before him, and he paused suddenly, but, hearing nothing, strode on. then stopped again for, plain enough this time, someone stumbled on the stair above him. “Who is it?" he demanded fiercely. "now by God —if it’s you. Chichester— ’’ and with the word, he reached out before him in the dark with merciless, gripping hands. The contact of something warm and sort; a broken, pitiful cry of fear, and he had a woman in his arms. And. even as he clasped that yielding form, Barnabas knew instinctively who it was. and straightway thrilled with a wild joy. “Madam!” he said hoarsely. “Madam!” (To Be Continued)

TARZA.N ASD THE CITY OF GOLD

Xerstle exlained in detail his scheme for destroying Tarzan of the Apes. Erot sat listening to his crafty friend, and so engrossed were both of them that neither was aware of the slave girl who had entered Xerstle's bed-chamber, paused, and departed into the corridor beyond.

Friday Is Capacity Day Downstairs at Ayres

•i ——. y— *—^

Unaware of the plot against him, Tarzan dined that evening with his friend Gemnon, while Valthor slept. “Soon things will be different," explained Gemnon. “Erot and the other nobles will fawn upon you, waiting for your every whim.” “Never THAT,” snapped Tarzan.

“Why not?” demanded his companion. "The Queen is mad about you; there is absolutely nothing she would not do for you. Why, man, you can rule Cathne If you choose!” "But I do not choose,” replied Tarzan. “Nemone may be mad, but I am not.

"Tarzan of the Apes is not a jackal of Erot’i stripe,” he added. "I think you are fooiish,” said Gemnon, “though I admire your courage. Now for something very much more pleasant. I am going to take you visiting tonight—to see the most beautiful girl in the City of Gold.”
