himself�察�and heard and felt his footfalls on the ground�察�as 
those of a very old�察�small�察�debile and tragically fortuned 
man�察�whom he sincerely pitied。

As he was thus moving forward past the National Gallery�察�in a 
medium�察�it seemed�察�of greater rarity and quiet than ordinary 
air�察�there slipped into his mind the recollection of a 
certain entry in Whitcomb Street hard by�察�where he might 
perhaps lay down his tragic cargo unremarked。  Thither�察�then�察�
he bent his steps�察�seeming�察�as he went�察�to float above the 
pavement�察�and there�察�in the mouth of the entry�察�he found a 
man in a sleeved waistcoat�察�gravely chewing a straw。  He 
passed him by�察�and twice patrolled the entry�察�scouting for 
the barest chance�察�but the man had faced about and continued 
to observe him curiously。

Another hope was gone。  M'Guire reissued from the entry�察�
still followed by the wondering eyes of the man in the 
sleeved waistcoat。  He once more consulted his watch�此 �there 
were but fourteen minutes left to him。  At that�察�it seemed as 
if a sudden�察�genial heat were spread about his brain�察�for a 
second or two�察�he saw the world as red as blood�察�and 
thereafter entered into a complete possession of himself�察�
with an incredible cheerfulness of spirits�察�prompting him to 
sing and chuckle as he walked。  And yet this mirth seemed to 
belong to things external�察�and within�察�like a black and 
leaden´heavy kernel�察�he was conscious of the weight upon his 
soul。


I care for nobody�察�no�察�not I��
And nobody cares for me��


he sang�察�and laughed at the appropriate burthen�察�so that the 
passengers stared upon him on the street。  And still the 
warmth seemed to increase and to become more genial。  What 
was life�拭�he considered�察�and what he�察�M'Guire�拭 �What even 
Erin�察�our green Erin�拭 �All seemed so incalculably little that 
he smiled as he looked down upon it。  He would have given 
years�察�had he possessed them�察�for a glass of spirits�察�but 
time failed�察�and he must deny himself this last indulgence。

At the corner of the Haymarket�察�he very jauntily hailed a 
hansom cab�察�jumped in�察�bade the fellow drive him to a part of 
the Embankment�察�which he named�察�and as soon as the vehicle 
was in motion�察�concealed the bag as completely as he could 
under the vantage of the apron�察�and once more drew out his 
watch。  So he rode for five interminable minutes�察�his heart 
in his mouth at every jolt�察�scarce able to possess his 
terrors�察�yet fearing to wake the attention of the driver by 
too obvious a change of plan�察�and willing�察�if possible�察�to 
leave him time to forget the Gladstone bag。

At length�察�at the head of some stairs on the Embankment�察�he 
hailed�察�the cab was stopped�察�and he alighted ´ with how glad 
a heart�  �He thrust his hand into his pocket。  All was now 
over�察�he had saved his life�察�nor that alone�察�but he had 
engineered a striking act of dynamite�察�for what could be more 
pictorial�察�what more effective�察�than the explosion of a 
hansom cab�察�as it sped rapidly along the streets of London。  
He felt in one pocket�察�then in another。  The most crushing 
seizure of despair descended on his soul�察�and struck into 
abject dumbness�察�he stared upon the driver。  He had not one 
penny。

'Hillo��' said the driver�察�'don't seem well。'

'Lost my money��' said M'Guire�察�in tones so faint and strange 
that they surprised his hearing。

The man looked through the trap。  'I dessay��' said he�此 �
'you've left your bag。'

M'Guire half unconsciously fetched it out�察�and looking on 
that black continent at arm's length�察�withered inwardly and 
felt his features sharpen as with mortal sickness。

'This is not mine��' said he。  'Your last fare must have left 
it。  You had better take it to the station。'

'Now look here��' returned the cabman�此 �'are you off your 
chump�拭�or am I��'

'Well�察�then�察�I'll tell you what��' exclaimed M'Guire�察�'you 
take it for your fare��'

'Oh�察�I dessay��' replied the driver。  'Anything else�拭 �What's 
IN your bag�拭 �Open it�察�and let me see。'

'No�察�no��' returned M'Guire。  'Oh no�察�not that。  It's a 
surprise�察�it's prepared expressly�此 �a surprise for honest 
cabmen。'

'No�察�you don't��' said the man�察�alighting from his perch�察�and 
coming very close to the unhappy patriot。  'You're either 
going to pay my fare�察�or get in again and drive to the 
office。'

It was at this supreme hour of his distress�察�that M'Guire 
spied the stout figure of one Godall�察�a tobacconist of Rupert 
Street�察�drawing near along the Embankment。  The man was not 
unknown to him�察�he had bought of his wares�察�and heard him 
quoted for the soul of liberality�察�and such was now the 
nearness of his peril�察�that even at such a straw of hope�察�he 
clutched with gratitude。

'Thank God��' he cried。  'Here comes a friend of mine。  I'll 
borrow。'  And he dashed to meet the tradesman。  'Sir��' said 
he�察�'Mr。 Godall�察�I have dealt with you ´ you doubtless know 
my face ´ calamities for which I cannot blame myself have 
overwhelmed me。  Oh�察�sir�察�for the love of innocence�察�for the 
sake of the bonds of humanity�察�and as you hope for mercy at 
the throne of grace�察�lend me two´and´six��'

'I do not recognise your face��' replied Mr。 Godall�察�'but I 
remember the cut of your beard�察�which I have the misfortune 
to dislike。  Here�察�sir�察�is a sovereign�察�which I very 
willingly advance to you�察�on the single condition that you 
shave your chin。'

M'Guire grasped the coin without a word�察�cast it to the 
cabman�察�calling out to him to keep the change�察�bounded down 
the steps�察�flung the bag far forth into the river�察�and fell 
headlong after it。  He was plucked from a watery grave�察�it is 
believed�察�by the hands of Mr。 Godall。  Even as he was being 
hoisted dripping to the shore�察�a dull and choked explosion 
shook the solid masonry of the Embankment�察�and far out in the 
river a momentary fountain rose and disappeared。



THE SUPERFLUOUS MANSION ��CONTINUED��



SOMERSET in vain strove to attach a meaning to these words。  
He had�察�in the meanwhile�察�applied himself assiduously to the 
flagon�察�the plotter began to melt in twain�察�and seemed to 
expand and hover on his seat�察�and with a vague sense of 
nightmare�察�the young man rose unsteadily to his feet�察�and�察�
refusing the proffer of a third grog�察�insisted that the hour 
was late and he must positively get to bed。

'Dear me��' observed Zero�察�'I find you very temperate。  But I 
will not be oppressive。  Suffice it that we are now fast 
friends�察�and�察�my dear landlord�察�AU REVOIR��'

So saying the plotter once more shook hands�察�and with the 
politest ceremonies�察�and some necessary guidance�察�conducted 
the bewildered young gentleman to the top of the stair。

Precisely�察�how he got to bed�察�was a point on which Somerset 
remained in utter darkness�察�but the next morning when�察�at a 
blow�察�he started broad awake�察�there fell upon his mind a 
perfect hurricane of horror and wonder。  That he should have 
suffered himself to be led into the semblance of intimacy 
with such a man as his abominable lodger�察�appeared�察�in the 
cold light of day�察�a mystery of human weakness。  True�察�he was 
caught in a situation that might have tested the aplomb of 
Talleyrand。  That was perhaps a palliation�察�but it was no 
excuse。  For so wholesale a capitulation of principle�察�for 
such a fall into criminal familiarity�察�no excuse indeed was 
possible�察�nor any remedy�察�but to withdraw at once from the 
relation。

As soon as he was dressed�察�he hurried upstairs�察�determined on 
a rupture。  Zero hailed him with the warmth of an old friend。

'Come in��' he cried�察�'dear Mr。 Somerset�  �Come in�察�sit down�察�
and�察�without ceremony�察�join me at my morning meal。'

'Sir��' said Somerset�察�'you must permit me first to disengage 
my honour。  Last night�察�I was surprised into a certain 
appearance of complicity�察�but once for all�察�let me inform you 
that I regard you and your machinations with unmingled horror 
and disgust�察�and I will leave no stone unturned to crush your 
vile conspiracy。'

'My dear fellow��' replied Zero�察�with an air of some 
complacency�察�'I am well accustomed to these human weaknesses。  
Disgust�拭 �I have felt it myself�察�it speedily wears off。  I 
think none the worse�察�I think the more of you�察�for this 
engaging frankness。  And in the meanwhile�察�what are you to 
do�拭 �You find yourself�察�if I interpret rightly�察�in very much 
the same situation as Charles the Second ��possibly the least 
degraded of your British sovereigns�� when he was taken into 
the confidence of the thief。  To denounce me�察�is out of the 
question�察�and what else can you attempt�拭 �No�察�dear Mr。 
Somerset�察�your hands are tied�察�and you find yourself 
condemned�察�under pain of behaving like a cad�察�to be that same 
charming and intellectual companion who delighted me last 
night。'

'At least��' cried Somerset�察�'I can�察�and do�察�order you to 
leave this house。'

'Ah��' cried the plotter�察�'but there I fail to follow you。  
You may�察�if you please�察�enact the part of Judas�察�but if�察�as I 
suppose�察�you recoil from that extremity of meanness�察�I am�察�on 
my side�察�far too intelligent to leave these lodgings�察�in 
which I please myself exceedingly�察�and from which you lack 
the power to drive me。  No�察�no�察�dear sir�察�here I am�察�and here 
I propose to stay。'

'I repeat��' cried Somerset�察�beside himself with a sense of 
his own weakness�察�'I repeat that I give you warning。  I am 
the master of this house�察�and I emphatically give you 
warning。'

'A week's warning��' said the imperturbable conspirator。  
'Very well�此 �we will talk of it a week from now。  That is 
arranged�察�and in the meanwhile�察�I observe my breakfast 
growing cold。  Do�察�dear Mr。 Somerset�察�since you find yourself 
condemned�察�for a week at least�察�to the society of a very 
interesting character�察�display some of that open favour�察�some 
of that interest in life's obscurer sides�察�which stamp the 
character of the true artist。  Hang me�察�if you will�察�to´
morrow�察�but to´day show yourself divested of the scruples of 
the burgess�察�and sit down pleasantly to share my meal。'

'Man��' cried Somerset�察�'do you understand my sentiments��'

'Certainly��' replied Zero�察�'and I respect them�  �Would you be 
outdone in such a contest�拭�will you alone be partial�拭�and in 
this nineteenth century�察�cann
