But what do you want to help dynamite England for? That’s no part of " I t will be part of my gam* to know who carries th* parcel*, and by what ports they enter," Zeno answered, with a •mile which looked uglier than ever. "Oh 1 I see," said Frost. “ Bat I thought----- ” “ You are growing curious again, good Frost. Do not grow curious sgsin. Do not. Please.” “ Give me my orders then,” replied Blast, sullenly. “They’re all I want to “ You Will produce your invention this ting.” mid Zeno. “ You will advise Its immediate employment.

Each man must know from what port he la to mil, snd • t .what port he is to arrive. Let me know all their names, their ports of de parture'snd Arrival, snd the date. That is all you need to attend to for the mo ment. And now shall we go to dinner?” “ I’m thinkin’," mid Froet, “ that this especial bird will not enter the arena, •nd if he di& he would not fight when be got there.” “Transiste, my friend, translate,” mid Zeno. “ It might have acted, last week. It might even have acted the night afore last- But that old mudbead of a Dobroskl baa got ’em for the moment dead set •gainst it. And they’re after him to a pun, pretty nearly.” “ Why, what is this?” cried Zeno. “ There was a meeting the night before last,” mid Frost, “ and Dobroskl was there. Sullivan, who’« the bloodthirsti- cst of the whole bloodthirsty assortment, wanted to do a score of simultaneous ex plosions.

Zeno mt down and looked hard at Frost. “ I* this true?" be asked, when the other had finished. “ True as the rule o f three,” mid Froet. “ I reckon,” be added, shiftily, after a pause, “that the old man himself was to faave carried one of them parcels.” “ Perhaps,” returned Zeno, rising sud denly. “ But if he will not, he will not, my good Frost. And now, shall we go to dinner?” C H A P TE R X IV . Angela and Major Butler were stand- in* on the platform at Jsnenne - Station when the little engine with Its freight • f three carriages steamed in. Mrs. Spry was so eager to open the door herself when the train came to a standstill that •he gave O'Rourke no chance to render her that small service. The widow fell upon Angela with great fervor, kissed her, held her at arm’s length to observe ber. aad then embraced her. O’Rourke busied himself in collecting Mrs. Spry’s belongings and bis own. Whilst the two women were still locked in their -second embrace, the major caught sight of him, •nd came to his assistance, unwittingly. “ Ha 1” cried the major, heartily. •You're bach again? Glad to see you!” “ You know Mr. O’ Rourke, don’t y o u r •aid Mrs. Spry, drawing Angela forward. “ Yon don’t know how kind he has been. I'm sure I cayn’t tell what I should have done if it hadn't been for him.” O’ Rourke emerged from the railway carriage aad raised hla hat to Angela, who responded to hla mlute somewhat coolly, as he fancied.
