He was about to go ont to the door
that led into the business part Of the
house when the door leading into the
street opened softly, and woman
stepped inside. She had used the key
which Boyne had forgotten at his
house
At first he did not hear her Then,
when he did turn round, it was too
late. The knife she carried under her
skirt flashed ont and into Boyue's
heart. He collapsed on the floor with.
out sound, save only a deep sigh.
STOPPING over, Noreen drew the
knife out with a little gurgling cry
a smothered exclamation. Then she

So serious was the situation, to his
mind, that one thing seemed inevita-
bic. Dyck must he kidnapped at once
and carried out of Ireland 1t would
be simple. A little more drugged
wine and he would be asleep and
powerless-it had already tugged at
him. With the help of his eonfreres
in the tavern. Dyck could be carried
out, put on a lugger and sent away
to France
There was nothing else to do Boyne
had said truly that the French fleet
meant to come soon. Dyek must not
be able 10 give the thing away before
it happened Already the wine had
played havoc with him; already stupe-
faction was coming over his senses.
With good-natured, ribald laugh,
BOyne poured out another glass Of
marsha and pushed 1t gently over to
Dyck's fingers.
MY gin to your marsala," he said,
and he raised his own glass of gin,
looking playfully over the top to Dyck.
With a sudden loosening Of all the
fibres of his nature, Dyck raised the
glass of marsha TO his lips and drained
it off almost at a gulp.
You're a prodigious liar, BOyne, .
he said. u didn't think any one could
lie so completely"
IN teach you how. Calhoun. It's
not hard. I'll teach YOU how"
He passed a long cigar over the ia
bic to Dyck. who, however. did not
light it. but held it in his fingers.
Boyne struck a light and held it out
across the small table Dyck leaned
forward, but, as ne did so, the wine
took possession Of his senses. His
head fell forward in sleep, and the
cigar dropped from his fingers.
"Ah, weH-ah, well, we must do
some business now Z" remarked Boyne.
He leaned over Dyck for moment.
Eyes, sound asleep" he said. and
laughed scornfully to himself. "Wer.

whats that you say about French
ships in the harbors Of Ireland?" he
said in a tone that showed interest.
"Of course, l know there's been a lot
of talk of French raid on Ireland.
but I didn't know it was to be 50
soon"
"Oh, it's near enough It's all been
arranged" replied Boyne. "Therell

Hoche They'll have orders to land
on the coast, to join the Irish patriots,
to take control Of the operations, and
then TO march on"
He was going to say march on
Dublin" but he stopped. He was
playing a daring game. If he had not
been sure of his man, he would not
have been so frank and fearless.
He did not, however, mislead Dyck
greatly. Dyck had been drinking a
good deal, but this knowledge of a
French invasion, and a sense of what
Boyne was trying to do, steadied his
shaken emotions; held him firmly in
The grip Of practical common sense.
He laughed, hiccoughed a little, as
though he was very drunk, end said:
"Of course the French would like
to come to Ireland; they'd like to
seize it and hold 1t. Why, of course
they would OF course; but what
astounds me is that a man of your
standing should believe the French
are coming here now to Ireland. No,

|eather-bound case and took from it
letter, which Re laid on the table in
front Of Dyck
