I`,l,;:ur,t !ndispotted to begin a new combat in defence of
"V* reputation, `,‘ althYugh he aouhl pot use his

daddies like and Englishman, did not come it as natural to
him." But Dame Heskett prevented this second quarrel
from coming to a head by her peremptory interference.
" There should be no more fighting in her house," she
said ;•" there had been too much already. And you, Mr.
Wakefield, may live to learn," she added; " what it is to
make a deadly enemy out of a good friend."
" Pehaw, dame! Rohin Oig is an honest fellow, and
will never keep malice."
" Do not trust to that—you do not know the dour tem-
per of the Scotch, though you have dealt with them so
often. I have a right to know them, my mother being a
Scott."

" And so is well seen on her daughter," said Ralph
Heskett.

This nuptial scarcasm gave the discourse another turn;
fresh customers entered the tap-room or kitchen, and
others left it. The conversation turned on the expected
markets, and the report of prices from different parts both
of Scotland and England—treaties were commenced, and
Harry Wakefield was lucky enough to find a chap for a
part of his drove, and at a very considerable profit ; an
event of consequence more than sufficient to blot out all
the remembrances of the unpleasant scuffle in the earlier
part of the day. But there remained one party from
whose mind that recollection could not have been wiped
away be possession of every bead of cattle betwixt Esk
and Eden.

This was Robin Oig M'Combieb.—" That I should have
hail no weapon," • he said, " and for the first title in say
life !—Blighted be the tongue that bids the Highlander part
with the dirk—the dirk—ha! the English blood !—My
=tune's word--when did her word fall to the ground ?"
The recollection of the fatal prophecy confirmed the
deadly intention which instantly sprang up in his mind.
" Ha! Morrison cannot be many miles behind; and if
it were an hundred, what then !"

His.impetuous spirit had now a fixed purpose and motive
of action, and he turned the light foot of his country toward
the wilds, through which he knew, by Mr. Ireby's report,
that Morrison was advancing. His mind was wholly en-
grossed by the sense of injury--:-..injury sustained from a
friend ; and by the desire of rengeadce on one whom he
now accounted his most bitter enemy,' The treasured ideas
of self-importance and self-opinion—of ideal birth and qua-
lity, had become' more precious to him, (like the tioard' to
the:miser,) because he could only enjoy them in secret.—
But that boat d was pillaged, the idols which he had secretly
worshipped bad been desecrated and profaned. Insulted,
abused, and beaten, he was no longer, worthy, in his own
opinion, of the name he bore, or the lineage which he
belonged to—nothing was left to him—nothing but revenge;
and, as the reflection added a galling spur to every step, be
.determined it should be as sudden and signal as the offence.
When Robin Oig left the door of the alehouse, seven or
eight English miles at least lay betwixt Morrison and him.
The advance of the former was slow, limited by the slug-
gish pace of his cattle ; the last left behind him stubble-
field and hedge-row, crag and dark heath, all glittering
with frost-rhirne in the broad November moon-light, at the
rate of six miles an hour. And now the distant lowing of
Morrison's cattle is heard; and now they are seen ereeping
like moles in size and slowness of motion on the broad
face'of the moor ;. and now he meets thent---passes them,
and stops their conductor.
" May good betide us," said the Southlander—" Is this
you, Robin M'Combich, or your wraith ?"
" It is Robin Oig M'Combich," -answered the High-
lander, " and it is not.—But never mind that, put pe giving
me the skene-dliii."

" What ! you are for back to the Highlands—The devil
—Have you sett all offlefore the fair ? This beats all for
quick markets."
" I have not sold—l am not going north—May pe I
will never go north again.—Give me pack my dirk, Hugh
Morrison, or there will be words petween us."
" Indeed, Robin, I'll be better advised or I gie it back
to you—it is a wanchancy Weapon in a Highlandrnan's
hand, and I am thinking you will be about some barns-
break ing. "

" Prutt, trutt ! let me have my weapon," said Robin
Oig impatiently.
" Moly and fairly," said his well-meaning friend.
" I'll tell you what will do better than these dirkine.'-do-
ings—Ye ken Highlander and Lowlander, and Border-
men, are a' ae man's bairnes when you are over the Scots
dyke. See, the Eskdale callants, and fighting Charlie of
Liddesdale, and the Lockerby lads, and the four Dandies of
Lustruther, and a wheen mair grey plaids, are coming up
behind ; and if you are wranged, there is the hand of a
manly Morrison, we'll see you righted, if Carlisle and
Stanwix baith took up the feud."
" To tell you the truth," said Robin Oig, desirous of
eluding the suspicions of his friend, " I have enlisted with
a party of the Black Wateit, and must march off to-morrow
morning."

" Enlisted ! Were you mad or drunk ?—You must buy
yourself off—Dean lend you twenty notes, and twenty to
that, if the drove sell."
." I thank you—thank ye, Hughie ; but I go with good
will the gate that I am going,—so the dirk—the dirk !"
" There it is for you then, since less wunna serve. But
think on what I was saying. Wan me, it will be sair
news in the Braes of Balquidder; that Robin Oig M'Combich
should have run an ill gate and ta'en on."
" 11l news in Balquidder, indeed !" echoed poor Robin ;
"put Oat speed you, Hughie, and send you good marcats.
Ye winna meet with Robin Oig again either at tryste or
fair."

So saying, he shook hastily, the hand of his acquaintance,
and set out in the direction from which he had advanced,
with the spirit of his farmer pace.
"There is something wrang with the lad," muttered
the Morrison to himself; "but we will maybe see better
into it the morn's morning."
But long ere the morning dawned, the catastrophe of our
tale bad taken place. It was two hours after the affray
had happened, and it was totally forgotten by almost every
one, when Robin Oig returned to Heskett's inn. The
place was filled at .once by various sorts of men engaged in
busy traffic, with the laugh, the Ong, and the riotous jest
of those who had nothing to do but to enjoy themselves.—
Among the last was Liarry Wakefield, who, amidst a grin-
ning group of smock-frocks, hobnailed shoes, and jolly
English physiognomies, was trolling forth the old ditty,
"What though my name be Roger,
Who drives the plough and cart-.-"

when he was interrupted by a well-known voice, saying
in a high and stern voice, marked by the sharp Highland
accent, " Harry Waakfelt—if you be a man, stand up !"
" What is the matter ?—what is it ?" the guests de-
manded of each other.

" It is only a - Scotsman," said Fleecebumkin, who
was by this time very drunk, "whom Harry Wakefield
helped to his broth to-day, who is now come to have his
cauld kailhett again."
" Harry Weakfelt," repeated the same ominous sum-
mons, " stand up, if you be a man !"
There is something in the tone of deep and concentrated
passion, which attracts attention and imposes awe, even
by the very sound.; The guests shrunk hack on every side,
and gazed at the Highlander, as he stood in the middle of
them, his brows bent, and his features rigid with resolu-
tion.

" I will stand tip with all my heart, Robin, my boy,
but it shall be to shake hands with you, 'and drink down
all unkindness: It is not the fault of your heart, man,
that you don't know how to clench your hands."
By this time he stood opposite to his antagonist; his
open and unsuspecting look strangely contrasted with the
stern purpose, which gleamed wild, dark, and vindictive
in the eyes of the Highlander.
" 'Tis not thy fault, man, that, not having the luck to
thou canst not fight more than a school-
gbeirla.n Englishman,
school-
girl."
I can fight," answered Robin Oig sternly, but calmly,
" and you shall know it. Yuu, harry Waakfelt, bbowed
nie to-day how the Saxon churls fight—l show you now
how the Highland Dunniewassal fights."
He seconded the word with the action, and plunged the
dagger which he suddenly displayed, into the broad breast of
the English yeoman, with such fatal certainty and force, that
the hilt made a hollow sound again the breast-bone, and the
double-edged point split the very heart of his victim.
Harry Wakefield fell, and expired with a single groan.
His assassin next seised the bailiff by the collar, and offered
the bloody poniard to his throat, whilst dread and surprise
rendered the man incapable of defence.
" It were very just to lay you beside him," lie said,
" but the blood of a base pick-thank shall never mix on
my father's dirk, with that of a brave man."
As he spoke, he cast the man from him with so much
force, that he fell on the floor, while Robin, with his other
hand, threw the fatal weapon into the blazing turf-fire.
" There," he said, " take me who likes—and let fire
cleanse blood if it can." . _ _

The pause of astonishment still continuing, Robert Oig
asked for a peace-officer, and a constable having stepped
out, he surrendered himself to his custody.
" A bloody night's work you have made of it," said the
constable.

" Your own fault," said the Highlander. " Had you
kept his hands off me twa hours since, he would bare
been now as well and merry as he was twa minutes since."

It must be sorely answered," said the peace-officer.
" Never you mind that—death pays all debts; it will
Pay that too."

Before he was carried from the fatal apartment, he de-
sired to look at the, dead,body? which, vaised fora the floor,

~.

had been deposited upon the large table, (at the head of
which Harry Wakefield had presided but a few minutes
before, full of life, vigour, and animation), until the sur-
ryons should examine the mortal wound. The face of the
corpse was decently covered with a napkin. To the sur-
prise and horror of the bystanders, which displayed itself
in a general Ah / drawn through clenched teeth and half-
shut lips, Robin Oig removed the cloth, and gazed with a
mournful but steady eye on the lifeless visage, which had
been so lately animated, that the smile of good humoured
confidence in his own strength, of conciliation at once, and
contempt towards his enemy, still curled his lip. While
those present expected that the wound, which had so lately
flooded the apartment with gore, would send forth fresh
streams at the touch of the homicide, Robin Oig replaced
the covering, with the brief exclamation—" He was a
pretty man!"
Sir Walter proceeds :—My story is nearly ended. The
unfortunate Highlander stood his trial at Carlisle. I was
myself present, and as a young Scottish lawyer, or barri-
ster at least, and reputed a man of some quality, the po-
liteness of the Sheriff of Cumberland offered me a place
on the bench. The facts •f the case were proved in
the manner I have related them ; and whatever might
be at first the prejudice of the audience against
a crime so un-English as that of assassination from
revenge, yet when the rooted national preju-
dices of the prisoner had been explained, which
made him consider himself as stained with inde-
lible dishon6ur, when subjected to personal violence;
when his previous patience, moderation, and endurance,
were considered, the generosity of the English audience
was inclined to regard his crime as the wayward aberra-
tion of a false idea of honour, rather than as flowing from
a heart naturally savage, or perverted by habitual vice. I
shall never forget the charge of the venerable Judge to the
jury, although not at that time liable to be much affected
either by that which was eloquent or pathetic.
" Gentlemen of the Jury, it was with some impatience
that I heard my learned brothel who opened the case for the
Crown, give an unfavourable turn to the prisoner's conduct
on this occasion. He said the prisoner was afraid to encoun-
ter his antagonist in fair fight, or to submit to the Jaws of the
ring; and that therefore, like a cowardly Italian, be had re-
course to his fatal stiletto, to murder the man whom he dared'
not uueet in manly encounter. I observed the prisoner shrink
from this part of the accusation with the abhorrence na-
tural to a brave man ; and as I would wish to make my
words impressive, when I point Lis real crime, I must se-
cure his opinion of my impartiality, by rebutting every
thing that seems to me a false accusation. There can be
no doubt that the prisoner is a man of resolution—
too much resolution—l wish to Heaven that he had
less, or rather that he had bad a better education to regu-
late it.

The jury, according to his instructions, brought in a
verdict of Guilty ; and Robin Oig McCombich, !alias
Itl`Gregor, was sentenced to death, and left for execution,
which took place accordingly. He met his fate with great
firmness, and acknowledged the justice of his sentence.
But he repelled indignantly the observations of those who
accused him of attacking an unarmed man. " I gave a
life for the life I took," he said, " and what can I do
more?" vol. i. p.
