The of the town, and seemed to be one of those ill-kept, unattractive inns where a traveler only goes by accident, and where he never goes twice. 1 could not discover that there was any other guest than myself present that night. I took my candle and carefully ex- amined the room. It was a small, square apartment, with no furniture save the bed, a chair, and the wash- stand. 1 looked under the bed and behind the stand. Nobody was there. 1 spied a closet, and explored it, with the same result. The door of the room fastened on the inside with a heavy bolt, but to make surance doubly sure, I set the washstand against it after sliding the bolt; and not yet content, 1 moved the bed around and effectually barricaded it. The two windows appeared to be about eight fect from the ground; and these also I secured in in b a way that it would be impossible to raise them from the outside. “Pretty safe, this, I think,” was my drew from the bLreast pocket a long leather bill bhook, and proceeded to count its contents, Three thousand amount o ¢ v about one's person; but the busin in which I was en gaged demanded it. 1 placed my pocketbook beneath the pillow and laid my I went to bed. sleeper, but I now lay wide awake, and all the arts that 1 used to lull myselt to rest were unavailing.

The caps had been removed from both of them! My heart sank within me, and a ter- ror like that of death seized me. Some infernal plot was on foot to destroy me; the mysterions agency that was to take my life might be In readiness that instant. I lay perfectly still, with my eyes almost closed, not daring even to turn upon my back, as I had been lying. It was well for me that I did not. I heard no step, not even a breath; but a long, glittering knife was slowly pro- jected from behind me and held sus- pended by a human hand above my head! I drew my breath quietly and regu- larly—how, I know not, but I did it. 1 even eounterfeited a slight snore. The robber was apparently satisfied.

What followed passed with almost the speed of thought. My right hand flew to the knife and grasped it as 1 rolled upon my back. With a terrifie oath the robber started up and threw himself upon me. He was a brawny, muscular villain of thrice my strength, but there was to be no trial of that kind between us. As he flung him. self at my throat I turned the knife up- on him; the point took him in the breast, and his weight and !mpetus drove the blade right through him.
