The Iln &Iish AIliance.

To the Editor Of The Times:
There seems to be a great deal
of talk lately regarding an alliance
between this country and England While
l don't thing there is any danger of
America pursuing such foolish course,
it is not out Of place to say word about
it from the standpoint of an American
OF Irish descent There it no doubt that
when an freshman swears allegiance to
this country, he means it. ! am sure my
father did, as an empty sleeve caused
by leaving one Of his arms on Gettys-
burg battlefield during the late war will
testify. But he tells me that no true
man of Irish birth or descent will help
aggrandize England Cfor that is what an
alliance means at this time for that
country. They could never forget how,
by cruel laws-InOre cruel even than
those now being enforced by Spain in
Cuba-mllions Of people We're forced to
leave their homes and seek shelter in
this home Of the oppressed or die of
starvation on the roadside as two mil
lions OF them did in two years-lSlG-il-
and that. too while shiploads of pro-
visions were being exported from that
unfortunate country in order to pay the
absentee landlord his pound of flesh.
/ think. too, that American Intelligence
should not be iusuted by the silly gush
about our cousins of the great Anglo
Saxon race that is so often copied from
English newspapers. 1t should be re-
membered that there are few people
of other races in America-the Teuton
and Celt, for instance To substantiate
this you might refer the Anglo-maniacs
10 the list Of the names of those poor
sailors who were killed on the Maine.
No while Americans Of Irish birth and
descent win willingly shed their blood
for this country. they cannot be expected
to help country that. for 300 years, has

CHAPTER XIV.
THE NIGHT ALARM.

At parting with his father the young
captain received many wise and grave
instructions, all of which he resolved
TO remember and profit by-a resolu-
ton which he did not fail to keep for
full five minutes.
BE douce in department" said his
father, speaking quietly and yet with a
certain sternness Of demeanor. Think
three times before you give an order,
but let no man ever think once before
obeying it. Set him astraddle the wood
en- horse with a spear shaft at either
foot to teach him that soldiers first
duty is not to think. Keep your eyes
more on the alert for the approach of
an enemy than for the ankles of the
women folk at the turning Of the tur-
ret stair"
To these and many other maxims out
Of the wisdom of the elders Sholto
promised faithful attendance, and he
fully intended to keep his word. But
no sooner was his father gone and he
introduced to his new quarters and du-
ties by David Douglas, the earl's
younger brother than he began to
wonder which was the window of Maud
Lindesay's chamber, and speculate how
soon he would see her thereat.
In the castle Of Thrieve that night
there was little sleeping room to spare.
L LC IeAA anu HIS JiOlllGI lay MTdDOGU
in their plaids in one of the round tow
ers of the outer defenses. In the castle
hall the retainers of the French am
bassador slept side by side or heads
and tails with the archers of the house
guard. Lights flickered on the stairs
which led to the upper floors. The
survivors had cleared the great hail
and here on dies raised above the
marsh" and sheltered by an arras cur
tain hastily arranged, James the Gross
slept on a soft French bed, which he
caused to be brought all the way from
his castle of 'StrathaYon on the moors
Of Lanarkshire.
In the earl's chamber on the third
floor was lodged the Marshal de Retz
Next him was the apartment of the
countess. Here also was the lady Sy-
billa at the end of the passage in the
guest chamber which looked to the
north, and from the windows of which
she could look upon the broad river di
viding itself about the castle island and
flowing calmly on as if the stern reudai
pile had been q peaceful monastery and
the waving war banners no more than
so many signs Of holy cross
