Shayne's voice was heard out
side the door, giving orders that it
be broken in, and some person
hurled himself against it unavail-
ingly. A flat cap appeared above
the roof; and as the man under
it mounted the ladder, carrying a
pistol. Craighead seized an over
turned chair, and screwing its
legs into the breast and face of
the scaler, dumped him neatly
into the arms of three or four
servants in the court-after
which he examined the chair leg,
shouted, mo meat on it; l shall

clasped her in his arms; she feebly
pushed him off, but yielded to

the whizzing of bullets and the
cracking of firearms. The attack
on Shayne's Hold was repulsed-
