CHAPTER XIV.

He opened his eyes again, alone on
the cool, damp, earthen floor, but as
sured that the feminine element in his
adventure had been no hallucination,
after all; for he could see the girl
standing little to one side and look
ing down upon him, her face so deep
in shadow that he could gather moth
ing from its expression, whether 1t
were of displeasure or of perplexity.
From this and that, however, he de-
duced that she, discovering herself
lavishing endearments on the wrong
man, was not utterly delighted with
the situation. The circumstances TAX
en- into consideration, such a state Of
mind he thought not unreasonable;
and being now to some extent recov-
cred. he saw no profit in making her
suffer more. So with a show of
faintness not wholly assumed, he
rolled his head to one side, opening
wide his eyes and looked the woman
in the face, inquiring with his faint,
thin brogue: What's this, now, me
dear?"
The girls face darkened She shook
her head impatiently. Il have no Eng

But she thanked that embarrassing

But as he breathed this -benedictiOn
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
fainting, hardly conscious that he had
done more than pass from open night
to the night Of an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with cry that
was cross between sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor. his head
pillowed on his arm, painting as If his
heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with clang
and rattle of bolts. A match rasped
from small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one, quite simply embodied his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her BOSOM and as if that were not
enough, kissed him full and long upon
his lips.
My dear! My dear!" she murmured
in French. what has happened. o.
what has happened? Ny poor, poor
boy!"
Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'RoUrke
to partial consciousness as had been
douche of cold water in his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that 1t was all dream.
And yet, when he looked, it was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face Of woman as beauti-
full as young, as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke
shut his eyes again. IF look too

a judgment upon me! Too long have
been an amorous dram-drinker; this
will undoubtedly be the delirium-tre-

And with that he passed quietly into

through his veins "And as good, I'm

"Ah!" he sighed, resuming his seat
but rising again, and quickly as a
second summons changed upon the
iron door and sent the girl flying to-
wards the rear of the house.
THAT will be Danny now,
O'Rourke opined as she swept past
him.
She murmured response he did
not clearly catch. Whats that?" he
called after her.
"Or, possibly" she repeated, pausing
at the entrance to the rear chamber,

was on his feet in twinkling, cast
ing about him for a weapon 'That

Nothing offered itself suitable either
for offense or defense, save and except
the jug he had been drinking from,
and the Irishman was weighing this
thoughtfully with definite intention
of hurting it at Captain Holes head.

Chief Justice Joseph G. Donnelly Of

adventure with an Irish hack driver in
Dublin, relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.

take to drive me to Hotel -" he
said. The driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states. aren't
you" l answered yes.
"'Well,' he said. since you are from
the states, and I've driven nothing but
Englishmen all day. I'll drive you to
the hotel for three shillings.'

l got into the hack. We drove on and
on for hours, over hills and across
streams, until we finally got to the
hotel. While driving, wondered at
the difference between this hack
driver and those in America, and won

would say if / were to hand him three
shillings for such long ride.
