As I closed the library door, my lady took off her hat pitched It on to a sofa and moved to the hearth. "What are you going to tell them!" For a moment she did not answer, but stood with her eyes on the flames. Then "That the man that murdered young Florin Is coming to the castle tonight; that three hours ago he did his best to kin you, because he knows you can prove that he took young Florin's life; that they know him as Captnln Fan Ing,' but that I know him as 'Pharaoh' night-watchm- a very dangerous felon, who Is want- ed for at least four murders In She turned to set her alone. bands on my shoulders.
