Then he stole out softly, after Father Tom, and started off briskly for Garryowen. Meanwhile Father Tom had hurried along the lake shore and climbed the rugged hill, to the side of which Myles' hut clung like a barnacle on a rock. Myles was outside, and he greeted the father in his customary cheery manner. Information was hard to draw out of the rogue. But the father had great patience, combined with a wit as sharp as Myles' own, and, bit by bit, he learnt that it was Myles who had shot Danny by mistake, thinking him an otter on the rocks. Before the priest could question further, the door of the hut opened and Eily stood revealed to his startled and doubting eyes. "D'ye think ye'd see me alive if she wasn't?" said Myles as he embraced her. "I thought ye knew me better ! It 's at the bottom of the Pool a Dhiol I'd be this minute if she wasn't to the fore."

What's that on the road ? ' ' "It's the sojers — a company of redcoats. What brings the army out? Who 's that wid them ? It 's ould Corrigan, and they are goin' to Castle Chute. There's mischief in the wind ! ' ' "In with you," Father Tom advised Eily, "and keep close a while. I'll go down to the castle and see what's the matter." Within the stately halls of Castle Chute the wedding festivities were in full swing. In the midst of the gaiety the prospective bride and groom appeared to be the only ones not imbued with the spirit of the occasion. Hardress wandered about like a ghost, and Anne, her dash and vivacity all a-jangle, left a trail of wonder and discomfiture behind her. Hardress grew more agitated as the
