 look in at the window and see what
 he could 10 fix treason on O'Grady.
 Rafferty climbed the tree found tine
 sash lifted and heard O'Grady pro- pose to raise a hundred men in the
 county to aid the cause of Prince . Charlie. But RaG'erty's presence was made known to the man within by the . breaking of a branch. O'Grady thrust
 a candle from the window and saw his
 enemy. He did not know that Haudi-
 side had instructed the spying, but he
 knew that he would be arrested and
 tried for treason. And since it was i well known that the government was ! hunting for some one to make an eZ- ample of he would probably lose his l head.
 l Something must be done to counter
 act the evidence that had been obtain ] cd against him. But what could be l done? As soon as Huudiside could : swear out warrant against him Ter
 oucc would be arrested. Fortunately 1 no court would sit till morning, and ] no warrant could be obtained till then 1 Terence had many friends who would l have hidden him. but such a plan
 would be a mere makeshift and for ] the present he would be obliged to continue in hiding indefinitely. . In times requiring quick action We not unnaturally turn to that with which We are familiar Leaving MacDougan, l Terence went by a roundabout way to 1 the stable where he kept Bess and, mounting. set out for Balliugarry. It was 10 o'clock when he started, ! but for half the night he had the moon 1 to light the way, and fortunately Bess l had not been out of the stable for a ] day and half She went off like a ! shot. knowing by the prick of the ] spur and the touch of the whip that quick work was required. It was not only quick work, but endurance, that l was needed to save her masters life. : While on the way Terence thought that ! he might better make for the coast l and escape in that way; but, consider ing the times, he feared that the shore ! would be guarded and flight would be 1 an acknowledgment of the truth of the accusation that would be brought against him. So he kept on his course | He had eighty miles to go, but it l might not be necessary for Bess to do
 it al She did twenty miles when ] Terence gave her water and half an l hours rest. Then she did twenty miles more, but in much slower time. After | another rest she did ten miles, when | Terence. coming to a barn at 8 o'clock ! in the morning, borrowed a horse of a ! farmer whom he awakened. explaining | his necessity and leaving Bess as secu- rity.
 Ata quarter to he rode into BaIIin- ! garry and since it was Sunday he found the people already turning out ! for early mass. Leaving his horse at a stable. he went to the church and after l mass asked for a few words with the l priest He was taken into the pastors private room, and he handed the fa- ] ther a guinea as an offering to the poor . of the parish. He hoped by this to fix ] the fact on the priests mind that he had been at early mass on Sunday ] morning.
 Terence brcakfasted with Kitty O'NciIl and told her of the ruse by
 which he hoped to save his head. He | remained at BalIingarry all day and 1 that night. The next morning he made
 his way back home, picking up Bess and riding leisurely into town during ] the evening. Handiside was watching l for him, and as soon as he appeared he
 was arrested under a kings warrant and thrown into jail
 Terence was not tried till the rebel ] lion had failed and the government l had begun sending those who had been concerned in it to the block. Then he
 was arraigned for treason to his maj 1 esty George IT., king of England, ln consPiring on n certain night to incite and take part in rebellion. MacDOu- l gall had fled, and the only possible evi- deuce against O'Grady was that of ! RaGerty, who swore that on the even l ing of the 25th of April from the ] branches of a tree he had seen the 1 prisoner through an open window and
 heard him tell MacDougalI that he
 would furnish a hundred men to aid
 in placing Prince Charlie on the British l throne.

 at early mass on Sunday morning,
 April 2G. and received a guinea for the poor of the parish. Kitty O'Nein also gave her evidence as well as several other persons who had seen Terence at
 mass. It was admitted that be would
