The driver, bearing in mind O'Rourke's
promise of five francs in case the station
were reached in time for the mail train,
put his fat-rbbed, heavy-footed horse to
the road at such pace that O'Rourke
had five minutes to wait for the train. He
secured ticket for the first stage Of his
journey, and walked on to the platform
carrying his portmanteau. He had been
thinking of Angela and Maskelyne and
his own chances all the way; but now
he suddenly recalled Dobroski to mind.
/ That venerable conspirator and he would
travel to England together, for Dobroski
was on the train.
Nothing occurred to make the journey
particularly remarkable and the tvro
companions were silent for the most part

pointed them out one to another; and at
Dover they were known again, and ere

They arranged where to meet again,
and Dobroski betook himself to the
streets, whilst O'Rourke went upstairs to
sleep, giving injunctions to his servant
to call him in four hours precisely. But
after entering the bed chamber and lock-
ing the door he stood awhile in thought,
and then suddenly reopening the door, de-
scended to his private working room. and
there wrote a telegram. The telegram
was addressed to George Frost, Esquire,
at house in Pimlico, and ran thus: Call

with a peaked beard, furtive eye, a soft
hat and an accent blended Of the accents
of Erin and Columbia, presented himself
at the door Of the house in which
O'Rourke had chambers, and sent in a
card which bore the name of Mr.. George
Frost in aourishing copperplate. He
was shown up, and when the door was
closed behind him, the occupant of the
room rose with smile of welcome and
gripped him heartily by the hand.
