whether her companion could possibly be a person of deranged mind.

The rapid disjotnted utterances he gave vent to, the incoherence of his actions, his restlessness and irritability, all teaded to con- vince her that she was locked in that carriage alone with a lunatic. Gravious Heaven ! what would become of ber? If she bad only pondered over the matter a few minutes before, she could have sought pro-

while her hand was on the frame ready to

that? Who could hear amid all the clatter

which be placed on the cushion beside him.

‘Heaven! You would not murder me, man ?’ cried the girl, as she started up from her seat.

‘Qh no, no!’ laughed the fellow derisive- i

ty. ‘Not if you don’t particularly wish it, Miss. But the sight of that little mild persuader there may bring you to your senses ;’ and then he rose to put his carpet-bag up iu the netting over hishead. As he did so his back was turned towards the girl but for an instant, aod in that instant Helen Boyne darted forward, and snatching at the pistol that lay on the cushiun, rushed with it in her hand to the opposite corner of the carriage, and there she stood with her back against the door, with her arm outstretched aod the muzzle of the revolver directed point blank at her adversary ; nor did the weapon tremble the least in ber band.

‘ It does bring me to my senses, coward that you are, for it teaches me that though but a mere child in strength, [ have now the mastery over you; and though I[ never pulled a trigger before, I teli you I will shoot you down if you move but one step to lay a hand upon me.’

*[sugh! haagh!’ bellowed her com- panion ; and then turning round looked the girl steadfastly in the face, and said sarcas- tically, ‘ You never pulled a trigger before, dido’t my little one ?’ and began to stalk towards her.

‘ Another step and [ fire,’ cried the girl.

‘Bah!’ returned the other, and then stretching out his haed he made a snatch at the muzzle of the pistol that the girl still held steadily directed towards him.

| ‘Good ! good!’ shouted the fellow. ‘ Cut
