"Consequently I’m hungry, John, deuced sharp set—ravenous, John!” “That, sir.” quoth Peterby. smiling his rare smile, “that is the best news I’ve heard this three weeks and more, and your chicken broth is ready—” * "Chicken broth!” exclaimed Barnabas, “for shame, John. “Bring me a steak, do you hear?” “But, sir,” Peterby remonstrated, shaking his head, yet with his face ever brightening, “indeed I ” “Or a chop, John, or ham and eggs—l’m hungry; I tell you.” “Excellent!” laughed Peterby, nodding his head, “but the doctor, sir ” “Doctor!” cried Barnabas, with a snort, “what do I want with doctors? I’m well, John. Bring me my clothes.” "Clothes, sir!” exclaimed Peterby, aghast. “Impossible, sir! No. no!” “Yes, yes, John —I’m going to get up” “But, sir ” “This very moment! My clothes, John, my clothes!” “Indeed, sir, I ” “John Peterby,” said Barnabas, scowling blackly, "you will oblige me with my garments this instant, — obey me, sir!” But hereupon, wliile Barnabas scowled and Peterby hesitated, puckered of brow yet joyful of eye, there came the sound of wheels on the drive below and the slam of a ocach door, whereat Peterby crossed to the window’ and, glancing out, heaved a sigh of relief. “Who is it? ” demanded Barnabas, his scowl blacker than ever. “Her Grace has returned, sir.” “Very good, John! Present my compliments and say I will wait upon her as soon as I’m dressed.” But hardly had Peterby left the room with this message, than the door opened again and her Grace of Camberhurst appeared, who, j catching sight of Barnabas sitting up shock-headed among his pillow’s, uttered a little, glad cry and hurried to him. INSTALLMENT ONE HUNDRED THIRTY-THREE “titHY, Barnabas!” she ex- * * claimed, "oh, Barnabas!” and with the words stooped, quick and sudden, yet in the most matter-of-fact manner in the world, and kissed him lightly on the brow. “Oh. dear me!” she cried, beginning to pat and smooth his tumbled pillows. "How’ glad I am to see you able to frown again, though.

indeed, you look dreadfully ferocious, Barnabas!” "I’m—very hungry, duchess!” Os course you are, Barnabas, and God bless you for It!” "A steak, madam, or a chop, I think—” “Would be excellent, Barnabas!” “And I wish to get up. duchess." “To be sure you do, Barnabas—there, lie down, so!” “But, madam, I am firmly resolved—l’m quite determined to get up, at once—” “Quite so, dear Barnabas—lay your head back on the pillow! Dear me, how comfortable you look! And now, you are hungry, you say? Then 1 11 sit here and gossip to you while you take your chicken broth! You may bring it in, Mr. Peterby.” “Chicken broth!" snarled Barnabas, frowning blacker than ever, | “but, madam, I tell you I won’t have the stuff; I repeat, madame, that I i am quite determined to—” “There, there—rest your poor head—so. And it’s all a delicious Jelly when It’s cold—l mean the chicken broth, of course, not ! your head. Ah: you may give it to me, Mr. Peterby. and the spoon—thank you! Now, Barnabas!” And hereupon, observing the firm set of her grace's mouth, and the I authoritative flourish of the spoon he held in her small, though imperious hand, Barnabas submitted i and lying back among his pillows in j sulky dignity, swallowed the decocj tion in sulky silence, and thereafter i lay hearkening sulkily to her merry I chatter until he had sulked himself to sleep again. His third awakening was much like the first in that room, was full of sunshine, and the air vibrant 1 with the song of birds; yet here indeed lay a difference; for now T ANARUS, ’ mingled with the piping chorus, Barnabas was vaguely conscious of ; another sound, soft and low and oft repeated, a very melodious sound. I Therefore, being yet heavy with sleep, Barnabas yawned, and presently turning, propped himself upon his elbow and was just in time to see a shapeless something vanish from the ledge of the open window. Now presently as he lay with his eyes turned ever toward the open casement, the sound that had puzzled him came again, soft and melodious. Someone was whistling “The British Grenadiers.” And, in this moment a bedraggled object began to make its appearance. slowly and by degrees resolving itself into a battered hat. Inch by inch it rose up over the windowledge—the dusty crown—the frayed band—the curly brim, and beneath it a face there was no mistaking by reason of its round, black eyes and the untamable ferocity of its whiskers. Hereupon, with its chin resting upon the window-sill, the head gently shook itself to and fro, sighed, and thereafter pronounced these words: “Devilish pale; Deuced thin! But himself again. Oh, lucky dog! With fortune eager to dower him with all the treasures of her cornucopia, and beauty waiting for him with expectant arms, oh, lucky dog! Oh. happy youth! Congratulation, Beverley, glad of it, my dear fellow, you deserve it all and more. Oh, fortunate wight! But as for me—you behold the last of lonely Smivvle, sir. of bereaved Digby—of solitary Dig. Poor Barrymaine’s star is set and mine is setting—westwards, sir—my bourne is the far Americas, Beverley.” “Ah. Mr. Smivvle!” exclaimed Barnabas, sitting up, “I’m glad to see you—very glad. But what do you mean by America?” (To Be Continued)

TARZAN AND THE CITY OF GOLD

“There are some things about this attempt upon Tarzans life that I do not understand,’’ said the Queen angrily. “What part you have had in it, Erot. I do not know; but I am sure you had some part, and I am going to find out what. Meanwhile, leave the palace!"

“There may be other guilty ones,’* she added, looking meaningly at Tomos, “but I shall find them all out, and when I do it will be the lion pit for the lot!” She descended from the throne; and all knelt save Tarzan. As she passed him, she looked long and searchingly into his eyes. i

“Be careful,” she whispered; “your life is in danger. I dare not see you for a while, for there is one so desperate that not even I could protect you. Go with Gemnon. away from the palace. You will be safer in his father's house, but even then far from safe.”

“In a few days I shall have removed the obstacles that stand between us: until then, Tarzan, goodbye!” The ape-man bowed, and the Queen of the City of Gold passed on out of the audience chamber. Then the nobles rose and surrounded Gemnon and Tarzan of the Apes.
