All the types of the period are present and the float- | ing palace ‘is distinguished by merriment, | dancing: and gallantry. There are the customary drinking and gambling also.

Not only shall you be introdueed to this lady, but you shall be presented to her In the role of a protector and rescuer.” “How in the ‘world will you manage ' that?” | “Very simple.

' Tableaun!” “But—but—" " “Leave it all to me—but give me that .twenty-five dollars. I know fel- lows who'd hold up the devil himself | for five.” . At.ten minutes past one o’clock Vir- gil Drace was standing in the shadow of a tree mear the street-crossing de eided upon, cursing himself for a hair- | brained fool and Shottle for an addle- | pated rogue. A rattle of wheels came | to his éars, and a cab approached hjm. ! As it came under the lamp at the | corner, Virgil was =ure he recognized | the flamingo neck of Liherty Shottle ' rising from the turned-up collar of the | cabby ‘on the box. . " “Good Lord!" gasped Drace. “He's done it. Pray heanven DBoyce carries no pistol.” The cab passed him. And then from the shadow of a wall a hundred yards or so distant two dark figures darted out. There came a hoarse command, a stifled scream, a cry for help. Drace ran forward and found Boyce, Nadine and- the supposed cabman standing with uplifted hands beside the vehicle while a masked desperado threatened | them with a pistol and a second robber demanded their valuables. Now Drace played his part right gallantly, rushing upon the Sohbers with uplifted cane. The fellow with the pistol fired once—then a blow on the ‘wrist from Drace's stick sént the weapon fiying. The pain of the blow enraged the fellow, however, and as Drace made at the second robber, the first one struck him heavily, momen- tarily dazing him. The two supposed robbers now took to their heels, pur- sued half-heartedly by Cabman Shottle and energetically by Boyce, who had | been robbed in good earnest. And to complete the melee, the poor cab- ! horse, frightened by the pistol-shot, galloped off with the ramshackle ve- hicle lurching behind it. Nadine turned to Drace, her face lighted. with gratitude. “She held forth her chand. - With- a grace that would not a'jle m a Highlander who, schpled in Erphce, had followed home' _.the_Queen"of Scots, he bent over it and_ reverently touched it with his' lipse s Wild *was her nature, this halts nurhnd,cl maid, and she snatched hex hand away, ‘but repenting instantly, sr‘nll’ed'l&nfl/spbke. i “I thank you much.
