the monk drove the spear into his right
shoulder and thrust him fiercely back
ward, prone to the earth. The young
mans legs were twisted under him,
and the monks sandaled foot crushed
upon his breast. The thought of re-
sistancel died in his brain, for his arms
lay limp, and he could not bring hand
TO touch the spear.
IL know you are yourself the devil
] was cnticed here to defy" he said. The
spcar-head in his shoulder seemed to
scorch his flesh, but his thoughts were
the clearer for the anguish of II. He
watched the stubbled jowl of the monk,
and looked 10 see beard of feathers
sprout upon it.
Il would not be wishing you to die
In error" said the other, gazing with a
measured wrath downward upon him.
III made you TO take the blessed sacra-
ment this day, that your soul might
not perish, and will not suffer YOU to
go out of the world like fool, in ig-
norance of why you are put away. I
am no witch, or man enchanted. / am
no devil. j am no monk. am Fineen
son of Spellan, and on Christmas day,
one year ago, saw your father clcave
my fathers skull with 'battleax,
while he lay hurt in his own bawn, and
put the fire to Ballyfanislk, and drive
our men over the cliff into the sea. and
lay the shame of unclean beasts upon
our women, And that is why | have
come to keep this next Christmas day
with you, Turlogh sou of Fineen, and
that is why you will be saying your
prayers now"
Turlogh looked hard at him and re-
membcred much, II was not one OF

blaming you, IL you had come fairly 90

head with the cross, and it slunk of
into the obscurity again as il had come,
like a thing of no substance.
"You will be needing the prayers at
later hour" said the monk. He raised
his voice TO make il heard above the tu-
multi of the blast sweeping past them. F..
Turlogh bit his teeth together, and
struggled against his weakness.
Il am not afraid in my heart" he
cried. II would not suffer myself to
turn back, no, not for the lordship of
all Ivehagh. But my bones are like un-
willing servants, and my bowels have
the terror in them. But / am their
master-and now have no fears any
more" He strove to smile, where he
knelt, and reached forth his hand for
the spear he had dropped, and which
the monk had picked UP. "Tell me-"
he added, would it have been known
to you that so much evil would happen
TO us first?"
"Yet more will happen" returned the
monk. He did not seem to note Tur-
loghs hand outstretched for the spear.
"But you will be remembering" he
went on, II gave you warning. 1t does
rot lie in your right to say the con-
trary."
There was something unusual in the
voice Turlogh heard. He looked up
more keenly at his companion.
IL would not be saying anything con-
trary TO your words, Brother Flor
entius," he said. The noise of the storm
forced him 20 lift his voice MS well.
"You are holy man, and you are
stranger to me, and you are my guest,
and l would not dispute whatever you
spoke. But it is not in my memory
that you warned me of anything. IL
was YOU who came 10 Dungeakecn two
days since, aud sat in my hall in the
evenings, and told your part of the
tales as traveller is looked to do, and
sang your songs when my bard had
done. And your tales were bold and
moving, and your songs stayed me in
my sleep, and these things warmed me
towards you. And when the speech
OF my people fell upon this little oak
wood of the strand, and the alder hol-
low beyond, and they told Of the man

wolf through the thickct, and had an
eye TO blast what nc looked upon, and

Il was you who laughed with scorn,
ond put shame in me that had never

word ihat on Christmas day no fiends

you would come with me and go the

boycott against beei, and this craze has
