sxsRt I had been travelling for an inter-
xSnable time, but it was barely eleven
,cst3ock. i felt drowsy, and somehow,
Before was aware of any fatigue, /

It was three o'clock when I awoke,

ire thought Of Jacqueline that recalled

Presently began to hear murmur

nafnt flicker of light.
The thunder Of the cataracts filled
my ears. A fine spray, like garment
R nlmy silk, obscured my clearer
vision but through and beyond 1t, be-
tween two torrents that sailed above
NKs. crystal bows, 1 saw the chateau
shsfore me.
