NOW GO ON ITH IHE STOBI INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SIX (Continued) On sped the great, black horse, his pare increasing as the traffic lessened, on and on along the Old Kent road, up the hill at New Cross and down again, and so through Lewisham to the open country beyond. Barnabas, bethinking him always of the long miles before him, and of the remorseless, creeping fingers of Natty Bells great watch, slacked his rein, whereat The Teror, snorting for joy, tosed his mighty crest on high and, bounding forward, fell into his long, racing stride. an n INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-SEVEN BARNABAS rode stooped low In the saddle, his watchful eyes scanning the road ahead, a glimmering track bordered by flying hedges, and trees that, learning ghost-like in the dusk, flitted past and, like ghosts, were gone again. On swept the great, black horse, past fragrant rick and misty pool, past running rills that gurgled in the shadows, by wayside inns whence came the sound of voices and laughter with snatches of song, all quickly lost again In the rolling thunder of those tireless, galloping hoofs. Thus, in a while, Barnabas caw more lights before him that, clustering together, seemed to hang Fuspended In mtd-nir, and. with his frowning gaze upon these clustering lights, he rode up that long, trying hill that leads into the encient township of Sevenoaks. At the further end of the town he turned aside and. riding into the yard of the Castle Inn. called for ale and, while he drank, stood by to watch the hissing ostlers as they rubbed down The Terror find gave him sparingly of water. So, into the saddle again and, bearing to the right, ofr and away for Tonbridge. Lifting his gaze to the heavens, he saw a great, black cloud that grew and spread from east to west, putting out the stars. Now, with the gathering cloud, came sudden fear to clutch at his heart with Icy fingers, a shivering dread lest, after all. he be too late. Suddenly, as they topped River HiH, out of the murk ahead there met him a puff of wind, a hot wind that came and so was gone again, but far away beyond the distant horizon to his left, the sombre heaven was split and rent asunder by a jagged lightning flash. And now came the wind again, and in the wind was rain, a few pattering drops, while the lightning flamed and quivered upon the horiron. and the thunder rolled ever louder and more near. Came a sudden, blinding flame, that seemed to crackle in the air near by, a stunning thunder-clap shaking the very firmament, and thereafter an aching blackness, upon whose started silence burst the rain—a sudden, hissing downpour.

KRAKATOA. a small volcanic island of thirteen square miles, lay in peaceful slumber for 200 years. In 1883 the volcano became active, and, after several months of small eruptions, reached the fraud climax, during which the island disappeared completely. One half of the world heard the explosion. NEXT—Can a star be seen inside the crescent moon?

UP— up reared The Terror, whinnying with fear, then strove madly to turn and flee before the fury of wind, and flame, and lashing rain. Three times he swerved wildly, and three times he was checked, as with hand, and voice, and goading spur, Barnabas drove him on again—on down the steep descent, down, down into the yawning blackness of the valley below. ,on Into the raging fury of the ; storm. And now upon the rushing wind were voices, demon voices that shrieked and howled at him. filling the whirling blackness with their vii clous clamor. "Kill him!” they shrieked. ’ Whether you are In time or no, kill | him! kill him!” And Barnabas, heedless of the death that hissed and crackled In i the air about him, fronting each j lightning flash with cruel-smlling mouth, nodded his head to the howling demons and answered: "Yes, yes, whether in time or no, tonight he dies!” On beneath trees, dim-seen, that rocked and swayed bending to the storm, splashing through puddles floundering through mire, slack of rein and ready of spur, Barnabas galloped hard. And ever the mocking laughter rang in his ears, and ever the demons shrieked to him on the howling wind: "Kill him! kill him!” n it a QO, at last, amidst rain, and wind, and mud, Barnabas rode Into Tombridge Town, and staying at the nearest inn, dismounted stiffly in the yard and shouted hoarsely for ostlers to bring him to the stables. Being come there, it is Barnabas himself who holds the bucket while the foam-flecked horse drinks a modicum of water with a dash of brandy. Thereafter Barnabas stands by anxious-eyed what time two ostlers rub down the great, black horse; or striding swiftly to and fro, the silver watch clutched in impatient hand, he questions the men in rapid tones, as: "Which is the nearest way to Headcorn?” " Eadcorn, sir? Why surely you don't be thinking—” "Which is the nearest way to Headcorn?” repeats Barnabas, ' scowling blackly: whereat the fellow answers to the point and Barnabas falls to his feverish striding to and fro until, glancing from the watch In his hand to the Terror's lofty crest, observing that his heaving flanks labor no more and that he paws an impatient hoof, Barnabas thrusts watch in fob, tightens girth and surcingle and. having paid his score, swings himself stiffly into the saddle and is off and away, while the gaping ostlers stare after him through the falling rain till he has galloped out of sight. Away, away, down empty street, over rumblng bridge and so, bearing to the left, on and up the long hill of Pembury. Gradually the rain ceased, the wind died utterly away, the stars peeped out again. And now, upon the quiet, came the small, soft sound of trickling water, while the air was fragrant with a thousand sweet scents and warm, moist, earthy smells. But on galloped the great, black horse. Oh, mighty four legs!” Oh, Terror! whose proud heart scorns defeat ! tonight thou dost race as ne’er thou didst before, pitting thy strength and high courage against old Time himself!

l The instant Tarzan opened his eyes he saw the stranger in the room, saw the dagger raised above the sleeping form of Vaithor, read the whole story in a single glance, and in the same moment arose and leaped upon the unsuspecting murderer!

The unknown assassin was dragged back from his victim at the very instant that his weapon was descending. As the two men crashed to the floor, Vaithor awoke and sprang from his cot; but by the time he had discovered what happened the would-be murderer lay dead.

And over the body stood Tarzan of the Apes with one foot upon it. For an instant the apeman hestiated, his face upturned as the weird scream of the victorious bull ape trembled on his lips; but then he shook his head and only a low growl rumbled from the deep chest.

Vaithor had heard these growls before and was neither surprised nor shocked. The man in the room above had heard only beasts growl, and the sound made him hesitate and wonder. He had heard, too. the crash of the two bodies. On his guard, cautiously he stepped to the window.
