NOW GO ON WTill IHE SI OR* INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE (Continued) As he spoke, Barrymaine advanced to the table, his gaze always upon Mr. Chichester, nor did he look away even for an Instant, thus, his hand wandered, for a moment, along the table, ere he found and took up the remaining pistol. Then, with it corked in his hand, he backed away to the corner beside the hearth, ar.d being come there, nodded. “A good, comfortable distance, D-Dig," said he, “now tell him to take his g-ground.” But even as he spoke, Mr. Chichester strode to the opposition corner of the long room, and turning, stood there with folded arms. Up till now. he had uttered no word, but as Mr. Smivvle leaned back against the wall, midway between them, and glanced from one to the other, Mr. Chichester spoke. “Sirs.” said he, “I shall most certainly kill him, and I call upon you to witness that it was forced upon me.” a a a VTOW as his voice died away, through the open window came a faint sound that might have been wind in the trees, or the drumming of horse-hoofs, soft and faint with distance. “Oh, g-give us the word, D-Dig!" said Barrymaine. “Gentlemen,” said Mr. Smivvle, steading himself against the panelling with shaking hands, “the word will be —Ready? One! Two! Three —Fire! Do you understand?” An eager “Yes” from Barrymaine. a slight nod from Chichester, yet Mr. Smivvle still leaned there mutely against the wall, as though his tongue failed him, or as if hearkening to that small, soft sound, that might have been wind in the trees. “The word. Dig—will you give us the word?” “Yes, yes, Barry, yes, my dear boy certainly!” But still Mr. Smivvle hesitated. “S-speak! Will you s-speak, Dig? ” “Oh. Barry—my dear boy, yes! Ready?” At the word two pistols were raised and levelled, almost on the instant, and with his haggard eyes turnpd towards Barrymaine’s comer, Mr. Smivvle spoke again: “One!—Two!—Three—” A flash, a single deafening report, and Ronald Barrymaine lurched sideways, caught at the wall, swayed backwards into the comer and leaned there. “Coward—you fired too soon!" cried Smivvle, turning upon Mr. Chichester in sudden frenzy, “Villain! rogue! you fired too soon—!” “S-stand away, Dig!” said Barrymaine faintly. “Oh. Barry—you're bleeding By God, he's hit you!”

. 'Of c-course. Dig—he never m-mis-ses—Neither do I—w-watch now, ah! hold me up. Dig—so! Now, A*and away!” But even as Barrymaine. livid of brow and with teeth | hard clenched, steadied himself for | the shot, loud and clear upon the ! night came the thudding of swiftgalloping horse-hoofs. And now. for the first time, Barryj maine's gaze left Chichester's face, l and fixed itself upon the open casement instead. Ha!” he cried, “here comes G--Gaunt at last, D-Dig and with his hangman at his elbow! But he's t-too late. Dig. he's too 1-late—l'm going, but I mean to take our friend | —our d-dear friend Chichester w-with me—look now!” a a a | \ S he spoke he raised his arm, , there came the stunning report of the pistol, and a puff of blinding smoke; but when it cleared, Mr. Chichester still stood up rigid in his corner, only, as he stood he lifted his hand suddenly to | his mouth, glanced at his fingers, j stared at them with wide, horrified eyes. Then his pistol clattered to the floor and he coughed—a hideous, strangling sound, thin and Inch-pitched. Coughing still, he took a swift pace forward, striving to speak, but choked instead, and so choking, j sank to his knees. Even then he | strove desperately to utter something, but with it still unspoken, j sank down upon his hands, and i thence slowly upon his face and lay j there very still and quiet. Then Barrymaine laughed, an | awful, gasping laugh, and began to ! edge himself along the wall and, as i he went, he left hideous smears and j blotches upon the panelling behind I him. Being come to that inanimate j | figure he stood awhile watching it with gloating eyes. Presently he spoke in a harsh whisper: “He's dead, D-Dig—quite dead, you see and he was my f-friend, which was bad And I trusted him —which was w-worse. A rogue always, Dig, and a 1-liar” Then Barrymaine groaned, and groaning, spurned that quiet form weakly with his foot and so, pitched down headlong across it. Now as they lay thus, they together made a great cross upon the floor. But presently shadows moved beyond the open window', a broadbrimmed, high-crowned hat projected itself into the candle light, and a voice spoke: “In the King's name! I arrest (Ronald Barrymaine for the murder of Jasper Gaunt —in the king's name, genelmen!” But now. very slowly and painfully, Ronald Barrymaine raised himself upon his hands, lifted his heavy head and spoke in a feeble voice. “Oh, m-master hangman,” he whispered, “y-you're too 1-late j-.iust too late!” And so, like a weary child settling itself to rest, he pillow *1 his head upon his arm, and sighing—fell asleep. Then Mr. Shrig stepped forward very softly, and beholding that placid young face with its tender, smiling lips, and the lashes that drooped so dark against the dead pallor of the cheek, he took off his | broad-brimmed hat and stood there with bent head. But another figure had followed him, and now' sprang toward Barnabas with supporting arms outstretched, and in that moment Barnabas sighed, and falling forward, lay there sprawled across the table.

Gemnon led Tarzan to a large audience chamber. The court nobles were already there. The Queen sat on a massive throne, her beautiful brows contracted in a frown. As the two men entered she looked at them, but she did not smile. She ordered them to be seated.

The ape-man saw Tomos an 3rot and Xerstle. Erot seemed extremely nervous. Once he glanced appealingly up at Nemone; but if she recognized he was there, her expression did not acknowledge it. “We have been awaiting you,” she said in an icy voice as Tarzan took his seat.

“It appears that you did not exert yourself to hasten in response t-o our command.” she added. “We have summoned you to tell what happened in your apartment last night resulting in the killing of one of our warriors.” Then she whispered to a noble, who then quit the room.

“There is little to tell,” replied Tarzan. ‘‘A man came to kill me, but I killed him instead.” Briefly he related the circumstances. Had you seen him before?” the Queen demanded, “No,” answered Tarzan. A noise at the entrance to the chamber caused Nemone to glance up.
