A powerful and active enemy threat
ened me with death. An equally &C

my safety. People OF wealth were
concerned. l had dimly seen a frag-
ment Of the struggling forces, and it
was plain that only a very rich per-
son could afford the luxury of hiring
the braves and guards who threat
ened and protected me.
The fate Of Henry showed the

alley below. but the fact that no trace
of him or of the tragedy was to be

But it struck a chill through me, and
listened with growing apprehension
as 1t mounted step by step.
The dread silence Of the house that
had cast its shadow of fear upon me
now seemed to become vocal with
protest against this intrusion, and to
send warning through the halls. At
last the step halted before my door
and loud knock startled the echoes.
With a great bound my heart threw
