TIE Ride in the Dark.

The Ride in the Dark,
Not since my early boyhood has the
terrible fear of darkness come over
me as it did that night at eight as the
three Of US set out from Ardway. Inc
mystery Of ne journey, too, added to
its terrors. / had not seen Davis after
his startling announcement OF his
nocturnal mission until he came into
the hotel dining-room for supper. All
through the meal he had laughed and
chatted en- all sorts Of immaterial sub
iects, influenced undoubtedly by the
fact that there were several others
seated at the table with US. There
had been no opportunity fer private
conversation between us before We
left the ,hotel together a little before
eight for a side street where Dodds,
the constable, was waiting for US with
q vehicle.
We had fingered at the table until
all the others had left. Just as We
got up, Davis turned to me aud in a
hardly p~erceptible tone asked:
"Eave you got that revolver gave
your"

same understone. do you want it?"
mo-" he said significantly, touching
his hip pocket, "but you may.
I hastened upstairs to get the
weapon and when returned he was
waiting for ne at the coor and hurried
me around the corner and into the
blackboard. With Dodds crowded II

bearded Colonel in command. sitting
behind a table, with Major Mcdonald
at his right, and the others wherever
they could find standing room. Ham
