The McMurrough stood speechless

ut is small chance I thought you had"
II can believe you" the Colonel an
swered quietly. If he did not know
much, he suspected a good deal.
Before more could be said, Flavia Nc
Murrough turned herself about and
came in and saw Colonel Sullivan. Her
face famed holly as the words which
she a just used about him required
to her; she could almost have wished
the mare away again If the obligation
went with her. To owe the mare to
him!
But the thing was lone n she
found words at last. II am very much
obliged to you," she said, "if it was
really you who brought her back"
1T was I who brought her back" he
answered, hurt by her words and man
ner, but hiding the hurt. You need
not thank me, I did 1t very willingly"
She felt the meanness Of her attitude,
and II do thank you!" she said, strain
ing at warmth, but with poor success.
81 am very grateful to you, Colonel
me-"
But wish another had done it," he
answered, with the faintest tinge of
ceproach In his voice.
NO! But that you would serve an
! other as effectively" she responded.
He did not see her drift. And What
other?" he asked.
Your country" she replied, and went
out n the night, to see that the mare
was safely disposed.
The four men looked at n another
n Uncle Ulick shrugged his shoulders
as much as to say, I'VE all know what
women are!" Then, feeling a storm in
the air, he spoke for the sake OF
speaking. well, James," he said, she's
got her mare, and you've lost your
wager. It's goodbye to the brandy,
anyway. And. faith, it's be good news
for the little French captain. John
Sullivan. / give you joy. You'll amend
us all at this rate! Sure, and I begin
to think you're one of the Little Peo-

about the brandy."The McMurrough
SAID curtly, things are by way Of be-
Ing changed, I'd have o now I'm
not going to forego a good ship

here, and"-
I'm with you Asgill said. Colonel
Sullivan's won the right to have his
way, and it's better so, too, and safer.
Faith, and Pm glad"
We'll, it's not I'll tell o'Sullivan o."
James McMurrough retorted. TITS lit
tle he'll like to give up the stuff, and,
In my opinion" he added s~u1lenly,
there's more than us will have a word
TO say to 1t before It's given up. But
you can Judge that for yourselves"
Mr.. Crosby, Of Castlemaine"-
"Oh! It's little he'll count in a week
from this"
Still, no doubt Colonel Sullivan will
arrange It," Asgill answered, smoothly.
u was evident that he thought The
McMurrough was saying too much.
NSure. he's managed a harder thing.
There was a CLEAN in his eye and
