(Comtinued,) INLY once had Johnson Boller tarried In Montreal, and on that occasion the ther- mometer had ranged about 90 in the shade, Yet now, as he slumbered fitfully in Anthony's Circassian guest chamber, childhood notions of Canada came to haunt his dreams. He saw a glittering toboggan slide; laughing people in furs were there at the head of the slide, notably Beatrice, chatting shyly with a blond giant in a Mackinaw, who leaned very close to her as they prepared to coast and devoured her beauty with his large, blue eyes. Now they set- tled on the toboggan, just these two, although Johnson Boller's astral self seemed to be with them, The blond giant whispered something, and they slid down—down—down! ‘And they struck something, and Johnson Boller was on his feet in the middle of the Circassian cham- | ber, demanding “Wha'a that?
