CHAPTER LvIII.-THE IEvIScIBLEs.
The proceedings of Lord Harry after he
had sent off that check were most remark
able. II he had invited-actually courted
what followed, he could not have acted
differently
He left London and crossed over to Dub
Lin.
Arrived there. he went to small hotel
entirely frequented by lrish-Amerc cans
and their friends. TWAS suspected of be-
ing the principal place Of resort of the In
vfncibles. 1t was known 70 be house en-
ttrely given up TO the Nationalists. He
made no attempt to conceal his name. He
entered the hotel, greeted the landlord
cheerfully, saluted the head waiter, order
Cd his dinner and took no notice of the
0ullen looks with which he was received
or the scowls which followed him about
the coffee-room where half a dozen men
were sitting and talking, for the most part
In whispers.
He slept there that night.
The next day, still openly and as II there
was nothing to fear, either from England
or from Ireland, he walked to The station
and took his ticket. paving no attention to
what all the world might have seen and
upderstood-that he was watched. When
he had taken his ticket two men immedi-
ately afterwards took tickets for the same
place. The place where he was going
was that part OF Kerry where the Invinci-
bles had formerly assassinated Arthur
Mountjoy.
The two men who followed him-who
took their tickets for the same place
who got into the same carriage with him

Joins that body and afterwards leaves
1t. or disobeys its order, or is supposed to
betray its secrets, incurs the penalty Of
death.
On the unexpected arrival of Lord Harry
1t this hotel, there mad been hurriedly
called together meeting of those mem
6ers then in Dublin. 1t was resolved that
the traitor must be removed. Lots were
cast, and the lot fell upon one w no remem-
bered past acts of kindness doBe by Lord
Harry TO his own people. He would fain
have been spared this business, but the
rules of the society are imperative. He
must obey.
Il is the practice Of the society when .
murder has been resolved upon to appoint
q second man, whose duty it is to accom-
pany the murderer and to see that he exc
cutes his task.
In the afternoon, about an hour before
BuuSct- iut Tram az tuC btd'Iou
where Lord Harry was to get down. Tho
station-master recognized him, and touch
ed his hat. Then he saw the two other
men get down after him, and he turned
pale.
Fl will leave my portmanteau,n said
Lord Harry, lin the cioak-room. 1t VIII

Afterwards the ststion-master remem.
oered these worGs. Lord HAIRY uid no, s..y
81 will call for it," but '.Ir will be called
for" Ominous words.
The weather was cold: a drizzling rain
fell: the day was drawing in. Lord
Harry left the station and started with
quick step along the road. which stretch
ed across dreary, desolate piece OF couu-
try.
The two men walked after him. One
presently quickened his step. leaving the
second man twenty yards behind.
The station-master looked after them
till he could see them no longer. Then
he shook his head and returned to his Of
fee.
Lord Harry walking along the road knew
that tine two men were following him.
Presently he became aware that one OF
them was quickening his pace.
He walked on. Perhaps hts cheeks
paled and his lips were set close, and be-
cause he knew that he was walking to his
death.
The steps behind him approached faster
faster Lord Harry never even turned
his head. The man was close behind him.
The man was beside him.
Mickey O'Flynn it is" said Lord Har-
"'Tis At traitor You are" said the
man.
Your friends the Invincibles told you
that, Mickey. Why, do you think don't
know. man, what you are here for? Weli?"
he stopped. Il am unarmed. You have
got a revolver in your hand-the hand be-
hind your back. What ere you stopping
for,"
~ cannot" said the man.
"You must, Mickey O'Flynn-you must;
or it's murdered you'll be yourself" said
Lord Harry, coolly. why, man. tits but
to lift your hand And then you'll be a
murderer for life. l am anothcr-we shall
both be murderers then. Why don't You
fire man."
BY caunotIn said Mickey. He
held the revolver behind him, but he did
not lift his arm.
His eyes stared; his mouth was open:
the horror Of the murderer was upon him
before the murder was committed. Then
he started
LORI Harry turned. The second man
was upon him. He bent forward and peer
ca in his face.

and sprang at his throat.
One. two, three shots rang out In the
evening air. Those who heard them in
the roadside cabin, at the railway station
On the road, shuddered. They knew the
meaning of those shots. One more muir

But Lord Harry lay dead in the middle
OF he road.
tn. second man got up and felt at his
threat.
Faith he said, Il thought was MUIR
dered outright. Come, Mick, let US drag
him to the roadside"
They did SO, and then, with bent heads
and slolched hats, they made their way
across countrS to another station, where
thew would not be recognized as the two
who had followed Lord Harry down the
read.
Two mounted men of the Constabulary
