be wrong IN dotting the is and crossing
the It's of the scene which he had wit
messed. Such q scene might mean no
more than q burst OF high spirits; in
nine cases out OF 10 it would not be
followed by action, nor import more
than that singing of "'Twas a. For Our
Rightful King!' which had startled
him on his arrival. In that house. in

not be expected. The wrongs of the

the safety valves of outraged pride.
Colonel John leaned upon such ar
guments; and, disappointed and alarm

told himself that nothing was seriously

things would look more cheerful.
But when he awoke, after a feyerish
