Coleman began to marvel at the enduring good man- ners of the minister, who continued to nod and nod in polite appreciation of the Greek's harangue, which, Coleman firmly believed, had no point of interest whatever. But at last the man, after an effusive farewell, went his way. " Now," said the minister, wheeling in his chair tell me all about it."

The departure of the Wainwrights and Coleman on this ordinary drive was of a somewhat dramatic and public nature, No one seemed to know how to prevent its being so. In the first place, the attendants thronged out en masse for a reason which was plain at the time only to Coleman's dragoman. And, rather in the background, lurked the interested students. The professor was surprised and nervous.

But the professor fixed him with an Arctic eye and bluntly said: " You love her ? " The question steadied Coleman at once. He looked undauntedly straight into the professor's face. He simply said: " I love her! " You love her ? " repeated the professor. " I love her," repeated Coleman. After some seconds of pregnant silence, the professor arose.

The beams reached the room where the beleaguered remains of Wyatt's band fought, but, mingling with the smoke, they gave a new and more ghastly tint to the desperate faces. "We've got to fight!" exclaimed Wyatt. "We can't sit here and be taken like beasts in a trap! Suppose we unbar the doors below and make a rush for it?" Coleman shook his head.

"Pardon me, my dear madam, there is nothing seriously the matter. Your husband has had the misfortune to be the victim of a most blackguardly assault; but I am sure that, under your care, he will be all right in a day or two; and, with your permission, I take my leave." Mrs. Coleman was irritated. The first emotion was not sympathy.

To have this cur silenced either by strangulation or ordinary clubbing, Coleman struggled with his dragoman as Jacob struggled with the angel, but in the first place, the dragoman was a Greek whose tongue could go quite drunk, a Greek who became a slave to the heralding and establishment of one certain fact, or lie, and now he was engaged in describing to every village and to all the country side the prowess of the gentleman in the distinguished-looking khaki clothes.

Lest his means should fail, four Irish ruffians had been hired by the Jesuits, at the rate of twenty guineas apiece, to stab the king at Windsor; and Coleman, secretary to the late duchess of York, had given the messenger, who carried them orders, a guinea to quicken his diligence.

"There is another thing that I have neglected," observed I, "which is, to inquire at the address in Coleman Street, if there is any letter from Melchior." "I have often thought of him," replied Timothy. "I wonder who he can be there is another mystery there. I wonder whether we shall ever fall in with him again and Nattée, too?" "There's no saying, Timothy.

"That's Mike now!" exclaimed Acres. "Not a dollar in his pocket, and he owns this town." "Yes, he has got dollars in his pocket, plenty of 'em. He's been collecting for the campaign fund this afternoon quarterage you know!" sneered Coleman, who had just paid his. "Aims to be the next mayor, doesn't he?"

Broderick looked around to satisfy himself that there was no one else to hear. "Coleman will withdraw his Vigilante guard from the jail on Sunday morning.... Oh, yes," he added, as the other seemed surprised, "I have my agents in the Committee's camp. Not to harm them. I don't hold with spies and treachery.... But I have to keep informed." Adrian looked at his friend, astonished.
