I had left my light burning, but when I had awakened it was out. A vivid flash of light- ning lit up the room through the win-low. so that I could see a man had he been at my bed. I could see no one. A shiver ran through ms as I peered into the darkness. sad I could fool the touch lhul linked m‘v M though a hand lay on my body still. The thunder that. followed tho lightning was taro rifle z, but lhu hosting of my heart was louder to ma tho that. I was unarmed. and there me no light in the chamber. Of this. not my mind. but my heart was certain. It was not thought. but feeling. It was possible that I was awakaood by simply a twitching of my body. which in my waking dream would seem like the touch of a hand; and it wss possible that tho lump want out for lack of oil. or by the wind that howled at periods through tho crack- od boards at the window. Yet I knew that a man was in my chamber; and, for a moment. I held my breath. for fear of bringing him upon me by oven the sound of my breathing. In that brief moment I bethaught me of some moans of defence. The picture I had ofton drawn l0 myself while lying awake in the night. was that if I should ever be attacked while in bed. I would seize the pillow and receive tho attack upon it. I did this now. and not too soon. for a form looped from the side of the bad next the wall. and throw itsslf upon me. At the same instant. the room was lit up by another flash. which ravenled to me the landlord. I saw a largo knife in the air above ms. and than it descended With almost A bias. llad not the pillow been my shield. the knife would have sunk to tho hilt in my breast; but as it was. the pillow ssved ma. Tho knife sank through it and touched my body. inflicting a slight flesh wound. but nothing more. ' Curse you l” cried the inn-keeper, in a hoarse voice. ‘You have wit. but I have n knife.’ As ha utterod the last words. he' assayed to with- draw tlio knife. at the some time grasping the pillow to wrench it asida. But he had miscnlculatad his man. In my formor pictures of imagination. I had thought just what I would do under such circum- stances ;.uod in this case I did it oxuctly. The moment the knifs touched my broasl my right hand was on tho arm of the innkeepor. and gliding rapidly down. was on his wrist on he cou‘d saslch away tho blade. My grip was usually strong; sad now the carve of suddenly awakened fear and anger rondorod it a temporary vice. It was not the innkosper who succeedodia wrench- ing asidethe pillow,butmysolf. Ashe alrovoto wrench it one way. I did the other ; and by n sudden twitch [snapped it from his grasp. and pushed the pillow into his face with my left hand. toward which his heavy broathiug served as a guide. I heard a stifled curse. and I could feel that he angrily clutch- ad at this strange instrument of attack. not only with his left hand but with his right on which Iliad my hold. My eyes were becoming nccnttomn-l to the dark —as I know his long had-and I could sec plainly enough tho advantage of my position. \Vlisn ho clutched with his right hand nttho pillow. I ouddon- ly withdrew my left hand from tho latter. and con- csutrnling the stranath of both hands on his which held the knifo. wrenchod away the knife on he could mil understand my intention. I had seen that I was dasling with a strong man. and I know that the knife was not the only waapon about such it villian ; I also fancied that another as- ssilont. more furious in her strength than this man. would soon be upon me. though I could noithor see our host any one.
