But my search was fruitless, and at last I went to bed and dezed fitfully until the grey morning appeared. As ou as I could decently make a call I took my way to Clare Place and enquired for Kathleen. She came to me, looking pale and narcons, as if she had passed a sleepless night.

"Thank Heaven that you have como," she said, "I have had had dreams about you."

"What dreams, foolish child "

"I dreamt-oh i don't laugh at me, please that someone was threatening your life; a dark mana foreigner, I think-with force, gloomy eyes, and a deep harsh volep. I knew it, I don't know how, and I tried to warn you ok! I tried so hard and then I awoke trembling and sobbing."

She was sobbing now, so I soothed her and consoled her and she grew quite calm, but was not her own bright self.

"And when did you have this dreadful dream?" I asked, and she answered, "I looked at ny watch when I awoko, and it was just two o'clock."

I kissed her and promised, and forgetting her fears, she soon brightened into the happy girl I had always knowa.

With a wild oxclamation the man spring at me, but another shot just below the knee, brought him to the ground. The other fellow, apparently thinking discretion the better part of valour, took to his hooks and died, leaving me master of the field. I heard his retreating footsteps along the passage, and the elam of the ball door behind him, and narrowly escaped a pistol bullet afmed by the prostrate man.
