quar- cr, and set to work cautiously and Wig rouslY
to fad out. II la tie time was Iipe, and he men
surprised one night at their wOra, and two or
three made prisoners after s;Out Resistance. he
iIngleader, however, Danei himself, escaped after
dangerously woundlng one Of the policemen, who

Indignation against England, averred tnat II was
piece OF gross injustice to lay any embargo on
the whiskcy, or, indeed. Il make IRISH people pay
anv taxes WhateveII Of course sie saw things
differently now, and wondered how ste could ever
have made such SIiy speeches she feit very
wretched, and asked Jenny whether she thought
that Byron cOah have heard anything She had said
on the subject; and Jenny could only say tlat she
h0pet not.
Next time Tom came over Ely met hun with a
very pitiful face, and told him her troub.c. Tom
did his best 70 console her. saying that cit disi
