A Dream of Love.

ache and an uneasy sensation that
l had oversight myself. I sprane
up and Dipped my head into a ba.
i sin Of ice-cold water. That tran.
quilted the pain I suffered, yet my
uneasiness continued; nay, it be.
came intensified when I glanced
at my watch and saw that it was
after o'clock. Very hastily I be.
gan to dress, but ere I came to my
collar I paused and reflected.
In my room at Burton st. I had
almost $500 in cash, as well as
jewels for which I had last night
paid $1,000. I possessed, more
over, a credit balance at my bank
of exactly G142. considered
therefore, that it would be absurd
for me to continue playing the
lackey to my master for a beg
carly So per month when a suffi-
cient capital was ready to my
hands, with which, and one or two
smiles of the tickle goddess, ]
colud make myself a millionaire.
I forthwith determined to quit Sir
VIM. Dagmar's service as soon as
possible. Such a course would
certainly awaken and fortify Sir
Chas. Venner's suspicious, but
what cared / for that. He could
prove nothing against me, and,
besides, I would be utterly beyond
his reach. I was my idea to &c
| to France; there realize upon my
jewels, and with the proceeds
speculate upon the bourse. My
only regret in departing was con-
tanned in this fact. Although
had met with marvellous success
in exploring the secret of my mas
ter's CHASTITY society of consump-
tives, had by no means plumbed
all its depths. The mystery of the
monthly dicing by the members for
the $1,000 check was still unex-
planned, and I could not think oil
it without tasting something of the
torture that afflicted Tantalus.
I proceeded noiselessly down
stairs. resolved to enjoy last
breakfast at my masters expense
and thereafter bid the place a long
farewell. Having arrived upon tbs
ground floor, l pushed open the
pantry door and entered.
To my surprise, Nurse Har
greaves was standing before the
table, with her back to ME.

picked myself up and stood before
him, a swaying, blinking, maudlin
figure. With much circumstance
and drunken gravity, I explained
to him that had buried my moth
er, and that to steady my nerves
l had taken afterwards a single
glass of wine, which must have
been drugged. Sir Charles pre-
tended to believe my story. He as
