who thought the liberties ana interests
Of the country were in danger, owing 20
. the policy of the government of the day,
and resisted it. Sir John was betrayed
into the hands Of the enemy and was
lodged in Edinburgh jail. One night the
door Of the prison opened, and he heard
the voice Of his daughter Grisel, who
was allowed to have many talks with
him.
Meanwhile the news came that his con-
demnation had been settled by the coun-
Gil and that the mail would come next
week with his death warrant. Miss Girl
sci Cochrane told her father that she had
to go away a few days. He said, II
hope you will do nothing RASH" and she
replied that she would do nothing very
rash. She rode from Edinburgh to Ber-
wick, where her old nurse lived, and
there she changed her clothes for the
clothes Of a boy. Then she rode to a
place between Berwick and Bedford,
where she made inquiries regarding the
kings mail messengers and where they
used to put up.

"Can you get me some water?" The
hostess said, "Why, a Draw boy like you
should sup ale." "Have you no cold,
fresh water? If you give me water, 1
will pay you the same as for the ale. j"
The hostess explained that she would
have to go to the well, a long distance
off, and it would take ten minutes, but
the girl, or, rather, the apparent boy,
persuaded the woman to go for the wa
ter.
During her absence the girl went to the
box bed. There was the mail messenger
asleep-a "swack" fellow-with his mail
bag under his head, using it for a pillow.
On the table were his pistols, and very
nervously the girl withdrew the charges
No sooner was this done than the hostess
