"A word with you, sir he said, graspinq
his arm at the same moment, and with moi
the most courteous pressure.
Waldenburg' stopped, and gazed al Leo

which his features always wore. 5Nt1
You know me?' said Leopold.

Liar and villain, draw T

opened his cloak as he spoke, TO prove the
truth of his assertion.
Leopold was never be tier disposed to kill
a man than he felt at this moment; but The
knowledge that his foe was unarnned check
ed his rage.
Il am in your debt he said, sfor ciyi-
ty somewhat of the same nature, and, de-

whose GOODNESS had exasperated him nearly
