He'll sleep for four or five hours and

He was about to 60 out 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 out and into Boyne's
heart. He collapsed on the floor with.
out a sound, save only a deep sigh
STOPPING over, Noreen drew the
knife out with a little gurging cry
a smothered exclamation. Then she

So serious was the situation, to his
mind, that one thing seemed inevita-
Bile. 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 confreres
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. Dyck must not
be able to 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
marsala and pushed 1t gently over to
Dyck's fingers.
Ny gin to your marsala,' he said
and he raised his own glass of gin
locking 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 Il gulp.
You're a prodigious liar, Boyne
he said. 81 didn't think any one could
lie so completely"
IN teach you how, Calhoun. Its
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 he did so, the wine
took possession of his senses. Hi,
head fell forward in sleep, and the
cigar dropped from his fingers.
"Ah, weI-ah, we'll, we must dc

He leaned over Dyck for a moment

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 a 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 "Theren
be ships-warships, commanded by
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 daring game. If he had not
been sure of his man, he would not
have been 80 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, and said:
OF course the French would like
to come to Ireland; they'd like to
seize it and hold it. 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
10. Boyne; I'm not taking your word
for any of these things. You're a gos-
sip; you're id, pertinacious, pre-
posterous gossip, and I'll say it as
often as you like"
So it's proof you want, is it? Well
then, here it is"
Boyne drew from his pocket a small
'eather-bound case and took from it a
letter, which he laid on the table in
front Of Dyck.
Dyck looked at the document, then
said:

She had never seen her fathers pic
ture. and her mother had given her
the impression that their last DAYS to-
sether had not been happy. She had
always felt that IL was better not to
inquire too closely into her fathers
life.
She was as bonny a lass as ever
the old world produced--lithe, with a
body like that Of a boy strong and
pleasant Of face, with haunting beau
ty in the eyes, majesty Of the neck
and chin, and a carriage which had
made Michael Clones call her queen.
She saw Dyck only as a happy. wild
son of the hill-top. To her he was a
man of mettle and worth, irresponsi-
bile because he had been given no re-
SponSibility. He was a country gentle
man Of Ireland, with all the interest
and peril of the life of country
gentleman.
Yes, we ought TO go TO Dublin,
mother. We could help him, perhaps"
Sheila insisted.
The mother shook her head mourn
fully
My child, we could do him no good
at all-none whatever Besides, / can't
afford 10 visit Dublin now. It's an
expensive journey, and the repairs
we've been doing here have run me-
close. My dear our best place is here.
OF one thing I'm Sure-lf Dyck Cal
houn killed ErriS Boyne Boyne de-
served it. OF one thing I'm certain
beyond all else--it was no murder.
Mr.. Calhoun wasn't man to murder
amy one ! don't believe"-her voice
became passionate-'he committed the
murder, ana ! don't believe he will be
hanged"
The girl looked at her mother with
unveiled surprise. "Oh, dearest, dear
est" she said Il believe you do care
for him. Is it because he has no
mother, and you have no SOM"
1T may be SO, beloved"
With impulse Shella swept her arms
around her mothers neck and drew the
fine head to her breast
At that moment they heard the clat-
ter Of hoofs, and presently they saw

AS Sheila said. 1t was a government

America whom she had not seen for
many years
The brother Bryan Llyn, had gone
out there as young man before the
Revolutionary war lie had prospered,
taking sides against England in the
war, and became a man IF Importance
in the schemes of the new republican
government. Only occasionally had
letters come from him to his sister.
and for nearly eleven years she had
not had single word from him.
Sheia watched her mother reading.
and saw that great emotion possessed
her, though tie girl could not know
the cause Presently, however Mrs.

her brother, made a joyful exclama-
