"And he got safely away, Moteeh9''
"It wud same so, your Leddyship; dr.
the Leddy Bridgit-"
A noise of footsteps just outside the
shanty brought Moreen's romantic story
to an abrupt close. It was Archie coming
back, Of course and at the knock which
followed UPON the sound of approaching
feet, turned face Wreathed in welcot1-
ing smiles towards the door. Moreen
started at the knocking, went swiftly to
the box chair, murmured a few low
words, and then opened the door,
Judge of my dismay when, instead of
Archie, l saw number of uniformed po-
licemen file quickly into the little room. The
smiles died away on my face, and with
eyes curious as to the future action OF the
intruders. lay and watched them.
"Shane Magroo was rayported to have
left Moira two days ago." vouchsafed the
spokesman of the party, 'an' it wall be
only good for you, Mistress Maginnis, to
be tellin' us if you have seen him pass this
wayI''
"Thrue for you, your ixiliinty! It would
not only be good for me but d welcome
sight to me longin' eyes besoidel How
liver, have not seen Shane Magroo pass

"That'll be nate spaich to make" said
another Of the men; "but we've ordhers to

At these words arose to my feet and
advanced, dressed as l was for the jour
ney, to the freside. At my unexpected
appearance the little flock of men stared at
me with eyes full of a lively suspicion.
Moreen, quick to see their questioning
glances, drew me close against the box
chair. and, with a startling evasion Of the
truth, said:
This, gintlemin, is Leddy Mary o. Neill,
