It was extraordinaiy: what could be become of her? what was I to conclude from her disappearance! I reflected on her parting menace, "I should not be my own man twenty-four hours longer." It was mysterious! it did not seem to be the menace of assassination. Suddenly the recollection of the hand-bill brought to us by Larkins rushed upon my memory.
