the stars. But s he house, like its surroundings, wore a desolate, neglected look, moreover It was dark, not a light was to be seen anywhere from attic to cellar. Yet, as Barnabas followed the sweep of the avenue, he suddenly espied a oft plow that streamed from an uncurtained window giving upon tlie terrace; therefore he drew rein, am; dismounting, led his horse in among the trees and, having tethered him there, advanced toward the gloomy house, his gaze upon the lighted window, and treading with an even growing caution. Now, as he went, he took out one of the pistols, cocked it, and with it ready in his hand, came to the window and peered into the room. It was a long, low chamber with a fireplace at one end, and here, his frowning gaze bent upon the blazing logs, sat Mr Chichester. Upon the small table at his elbow were decanter and glasses, with a hat and gloves and a long traveling cloak. As B itood there Mr. Chichester stirred impatiently, cast a frowning glance at the clock in the corner ... r< aching out to the bellrope that hung beside the mantel, jerked it. viciously, and so fell to scowling at the fire again until the door opened and a bullet-headed, square-shouldered fellow entered, a formidable ruffian with pugilist written in his every feature; to whom Mr. Chichester appeared to give certain commands: and so dismissed him with an impatient gesture of his slim, white hands. Then Barnabas raised the pistolbutt and. beating in the window, loosed the catch, and, as Mr. Chichester sprang to his feet, opened the easement and stepped into the room. For a long moment neither spoke, while eyes met and questioned eyes, those of Barnabas wide and bright, Mr. Chichester's narrowed to shining slits. And indeed, as they fronted each other thus, each was the opposite of the other, Barnabas leaning in the window, his pistol hand hidden behind him. a weary, bedraggled figure mired from heel to head: Mr. Chichester standing rigidly erect. Immaculate of dress from p 'fished boot to snowy cravat.

INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED THIRTY “C’O,” said he at last, breaking the ominous silence, “so it's—yes, it is Mr— Bartv. I think, unpleasantly (iamp and devilish muddy, and, consequently, rather more fib--1 jectionable than usual.’’ “I have ridden far, and the roads were bad,” said Barnabas. “Ah' and pray why inflict yourself upon me?” "For a very good and sufficient ! reason, sir.” Ha, a reason 0 ” said Mr. Chi- ■ cheste.r. lounging against the man- ' tel. 'Can it be you have discerned at last that the highly dramatic meeting between father and son at a certain banquet, not so long ago, was entirely contrived by myself—that itVas my hand drove you from society and made you the derision of London, Mr. Barty?” ‘ Why, yes,” sighed Barnabas; "I guessed that much, sir.” Indeed, I admire your perspicacity, Mr. Barty. And now, I presume you have broken into my house with some brutal idea of pummeihng me with your fists? But, sir, I am no prizefighter, like you and your estimable father, and I warn you that—” “Sir,” said Barnabas softly, "do not trouble to ring the bell, my mission here is—not to thrash you.” “No? Gad, sir, but you’re very forbearing, on my soul you are!” “Sir,” he said, more softly than before, “give me leave to tell you that the Lady Cleone will not keep her appointment here, tonight.” “Ah-h!” said Mr. Chichester slowly, and staring at Barnabas under his drawn brows, “you—mean—?” “That she was safe home threequarters of an hour ago.” Mr. Chichester’s long, white fingers writhed suddenly upon the bellrope. released it, and, lifting his hand swiftly, he loosened his high cravat, and so stood, breathing heavily, his eyes once more narrowed to shinning slits, and with the scar burning redly upon his ! cheek. "So you have dared,” he began thickly, “you have dared to inter- j sere again? You have dared to ! come here, to tell me so?” “No, sir,” answered Barnabas, shaking his head, "I have come | here to kill you”’ Barnabas spoke very gently, but i as Mr. Chichester beheld his calm | eye, the prominence of his chin, and ' his grimly-smiling mouth, his eyes widened suddenly, his clenched fingers opened, and he reached out again toward the boll-rope. “Stop!” said Barnabas, and speaking, levelled his pistol. “Ah!” sighed Mr. Chichester, falling back a step, “you mean to murder me, do you?” “I said ‘kill’—though yours is the better word, perhaps. Here are two pistols, you wilt observe; one is for you and one for me. And we are about to sit down—here, at the table, and do our very utmost to murder each other. But first, I must trouble you to lock the door yonder and bring me the key. Lock it, I say!” VERY slowly, and with his eyes fixed in a wide stare upon the threatening muzzle of the weapon Barnabas held, Mr. Chichester crosesd to the door, hesitated, turned the key, and drawing it from the lock, stood with it balanced in his hand a moment, and then tossed it toward Barnabas. Now the key lay within a yard of Barnabas who, stepping forward, made as though to reach down for it; but in that instant he glanced up at Mr. Chichester under his brows, and in that instant also, Mr. Clnchetesr took a swift, backward step toward the hearth; wherefore, because of this, and because of the look in Mr. Chichester's eyes, Barnabas smiled, and, so smiling, kicked the key into a far corner.

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

A noble was at the door telling them that Valthors escort was ready to depart. “Farewell. Valthor,” said Gemnon. “I have enjoyed entertaining you. Too bad we are hereditary enemies; for next time we meet we shall have to try and capture one another's head ”

“It is unfortunate and foolish,” replied Valthor, “but such is the custom of our cities.” “Here’s to it, then,” said Gemnon, raising his hand as though he held a drinking horn, “May we never meet again!” and turning, he hastened to obey the Queen's summons

Tarzan, himself, was sorry to bid good-bye to the likable young noble of Athne. Bv Nemone's command the ape-man’s weapons had been returned to him, and he was engaged in inspecting them, looking to the points and feathers of his arrows, when Gemnon returned.

The CathD'an was quite evidently angry and not a little cited. This was one of the few times the ape-man had seen him upset. “I have had a bad half hour with the Queen," explained Gemnon. “I was lucky to get away with my life.” “Why?” asked Tarzan, surprised.
