You may ’ave ’eard im, now and then—flute, sir, armonious, though doleful." “And he wants a wine-glass, does he?” said Barnabas, and forthwith produced that article from a rickety corner cupboard and handed it to Mrs. Snummitt. “What more?” he inquired. “Which I would mention, sir, or shall we say, ’int, as if you could put a little drop o’ summat inside of it —brandy, say—’t would be doing a great favor.” “Ah, to be sure!” said Barnabas. And, having poured out a stiff quantum of the spirit, he gave it to Mrs. Snummit. “Which I would thank you kindly on be’alf o’ Mr. Bimby, sir, and, seeing it upon the tip o’ your tongue to ax me to partake, I begs to say ‘Amen,’ with a slice o’ lemming cut thin, and thank you from my ’eart.” “I fear I have no lemon,” began Barnabas. “Then we won’t say no more about it, sir, not a word. ’Evings forb,d ns a lemming should come betwixt us seeing as I am that shook on account o’ pore, little Miss Pell.” “Who is Miss Pell?” “She’s one as was, sir, but now—iln’t,” answered Mrs. Snummitt and, nodding ploomily, she took down the brandy in three separate \ind distinct gulps.

“You mean that she was hungry —starving?” "Generally, sir. But things was worse lately on account of er heyrs getting weak. ’Mrs. Snummitt,’ she used to say, ‘my heyes is getting worse and worse, she’d say, but I shall work as long as I can see the stitches, and then, Mrs. Snummitt. I must try* a change o’ scene,’ she used to say with a little shiver like a a a “ \ ND she killed herself—because she was hungry!” said Barnabas. staring wide-eyed. “Oh. yes, lots on ’em do, I’ve knowed three or four as went and done it, and it’s generally hunger as is to blame for it. There’s Mr Bimby, now, a nice little gent, but doleful like ’is flute, ’e’s always ’ungry ’e is, I’ll take my oathshould n’t wonder if ’e don’t come to it one o’ these days. "Why, then,” said Barnabas 'as she bobbed him another curtsy, “will you ask Mr. Bimby if he will do me the pleasure to step down and take supper wuth me?” “Which, sir, I will, though Mr. Bimby I won’t answer for, ’im being busy with the pore young man as ’e brought ’ome last night—it ’s ’im as the brandy ’s for. Ye see, sir, though doleful, Mr. Bimby s verykind ’earted, and ’e ’s alway. a-nussing somebody or somethinglast time it were a dog with a broke leg—ah, I’ve knowed ’im bring ’ome stray cats afore now, many’s the time, and once a sparrer.” And in a while, when Mrs. Snummitt had duly curtsied herself out of sight, Barnabas sighed, and turned once more to stare away, over broken roof and crumbling chimney, toward the glory of the sunset. But now, because he remembered poor little Miss Pell who had died because she was so friendless and hungry, and Mr. Bimby who was "always hungry” and played the flute, he stifled his fierce yearning for dewy wood and copse and the sweet, pure breath of the country, and thought no more of his lather’s inn that was so very far from the sordid grime and suffering of Giles’s Rents, down bv the river and fell into a profound meditation. From this he was roused by the opening of the door, and, glancing up, beheld John Peterby. Avery different person he looked frem the neat, well-groomed Peterby of $ week ago, what with the rough, illfitting clothes he wore and the fur cap pulled low over his brows; the gentleman’s gentleman had vanished quite. He carried a bundle be neath one arm, and cast a swif look round the room before turning to see the door behind him. “Ah,” said Barnabas nodding, “I'm glad you're back, John, and with plenty of provisions I hope, for I’m amazingly hungry, and besides, I've asked a gentleman to sup with us.” ana INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR PETERBY put down the bundle and, crossing to the hearth, took the kettle, which was boiling furiously, and set it upon the hob. then laying aside the fur cap spoke “A gentleman, sir?” “A neighbor, John.’’ “Sir,” said he, as he.began to pr pare the tea in that swift, siler manner peculiar to him in all things, “when do you propose we shall leave this place?” “Why, to tell you the truth, John, I had almost determined to start for the country this very night, but, on second thoughts, I've decided to stay on a while. After all, we have only been here a week as yet.” “Yes, sir, it is just a week since— Jasper Gaunt was murdered,” said Peterby gently as he stooped to unpack his bundle. “I wish, John,” said he, “that you would remember we are no longer master and man.” (To Be Continued)

“Tarzan, the Queen put you in my keeping,” said Gemnon. “If you escape while I am responsible for you site will have me destroyed.” A frown knit the brows of the lord of the jungle. “I did not know that,” he said, "but I shall not go while you are responsible.”

A sudden smile lighted Tarzan's countenance. “I think I shall ask Nemone to give me over into the keeping of Erot and Xerstle,” he said. Gemnon chuckled. “What a story THAT would make!” he cried. They had come to the intersection of a narrow alley-way.

Beneath the branches of a wide-spreading oak a dark figure lurked in the shadows as Tarzan and Gemnon approached. The keen eyes of the ape-man saw and recognized it as the figure of a man even before they came close enough to be in danger, and Tarzan was ready.

Tnough he had no suspicions that the manl presence there was in any way concerned with him, it is the business of the jungle bred to be always ready whether danger threatens or not. Just as they came opposite the figure, Tarzan heard his name whispered in a hoarse voice!
