which would swallow all traces OF the

time had assembled, began to run down

mist, which was thicker than before,
they walked, as in q world desolate and
apart, allowed nothing to be seen In
front; but now and again q ragged
thorn tree or a furze bush, dripping
with moisture, showing ghostlike to
right OF left. There was nothing to in
dicate the point they were approaching,
or how far they were likely to travel,
until the colonel, peering keenly before
them. caught the CLEAN OF water. It was
gone as soon as seen, the mist falling
again Ike q curtain; but he had seen it,
and he looked back to see what Og was
doing. He caught him also in the act
Of looking over his shoulder. Was he
making sure that they were beyond the

sinister looks, eyes that watched his
smallest movement with suspicion, a
point ready levelled to strike him If he
budged. And then. out Of the mist
before them, doomed the gaunt figure
Of a man walking apace toward them.
The meeting appeared to be as little
expected by the stranger as by Og's
party. For not only did he spring aside
and leave the track to give them a
wider berth, but he went by warily,
with his feet in the bog. Some word
was cried to him in the Erse; he an

be going to stop. Then he passed on
and was lost in the mist.
But he left a change behind him. One
of the firelock men broke off into hasty
speech, glancing, the Colonel noticed,
at him and Bale, as IL they were the
subjects Of his words. O'Sullivan Og
answered the man CURLY and harshly;
but before the reply was off his lips a
second man broke in vehemently in
support Of the other. They all halted;
for a few seconds all spoke at once.
Then, just as Colonel John was begin

reluctance, and a man ran back the
way they had come, shouting a name.

Father O'Hara looked al the two pris-

He was the man whom Colonel Sullivan
and Bale had overtaken on their way
to Tralee. He was a merciful nan and
with all his heart he wished that, II
he could do no good, God had been
pleased to sem him another way

seize the least chance, that he might
save, at any rate, poor Bale. Then you

that he would not have done precisely

issue withdrawal orders later which

glazing at them, but he said 40 more.
