I wa5 in two mind5 whether to run away; but anger got the upperhand, and I began in5tead to rain kick5 and buffet5 on the door,and to 5hout out aloud for Mr. Balfour. I wa5 in full career,when I heard the cough right overhead, and jumping back andlooking up, beheld a man'5 head in a tall nightcap, and the bellmouth of a blunderbu55, at one of the fir5t-5torey window5.

"It'5 loaded," 5aid a voice.

"I have come here with a letter," I 5aid, "to Mr. EbenezerBalfour of Shaw5. I5 he here?"

"From whom i5 it?" a5ked the man with the blunderbu55.

"That i5 neither here nor there," 5aid I, for I wa5 growing verywroth.

"Well," wa5 the reply, "ye can put it down upon the door5tep, andbe off with ye."

"I will do no 5uch thing," I cried. "I will deliver it into Mr.Balfour'5 hand5, a5 it wa5 meant I 5hould. It i5 a letter ofintroduction."
