I have received not less pleasure in hearing of the excellent manner in which you are doing your duty, the assistance you are rendering, and the offers which you are making to my sister, for which I thank you, and request you to continue in the same course." The words were written by the royal hand which had already signed the death-warrant of the man to whom they were addressed.
Mac-Morlan spent as much time in preliminaries as decency would permit, and read over the articles of sale as slowly as if he had been reading his own death-warrant. He turned his eye every time the door of the room opened, with hopes which grew fainter and fainter. He listened to every noise in the street of the village, and endeavoured to distinguish in it the sound of hoofs or wheels.
And as he threatened, he stooped to seize the stone and make good his threat. But the Fates that day had signed the Irish villain's death-warrant. The good Border earth clung to the stone, refusing to let it go. With all his force he tugged and tugged, but ere the earth could give way, Little had thrown himself upon him, and when Mr.

There was a strike among the employees of the road, on what was significantly called by the strikers 'The Death-warrant. The road, it seems, had required all of their employees to sign a paper renouncing all claims to moneyed reparation in case of their bodily injury while in the service of the road. The excitement incident to a strike was at its height at Hempstead when our train reached there.
"I will but dispose of this young fellow," said Claverhouse, from the other side of the hall, "and then, Lord Evandale I am sorry to interrupt again your conversation but then we must mount. Bothwell, why do not you bring up the prisoner? and, hark ye, let two files load their carabines." In these words, Edith conceived she heard the death-warrant of her lover.
