Tom was long ago mi l to rest, an old,
tohitufeeuded man For our story to of
a century ago; un^ the rebels whom
Toni Kelsoe feared belonged to a little
island, where the fields are green, and
people hot-tempered ali the year roiiud.
Torn polished his gun vigorously.—
Kit Cassidy held the oil and bits of
leather. Kit was Turn’s foster brother.
‘I’d like a cliance at one of the rebels
with this, Kit/
‘It’s verself as wud be the shot, Mas
ter tom !*
4 What can those wrefebes do with
arms ?‘ (boastingly.) ‘They never own
ed a gun.*
‘They wur’nt allowed any—no more
than ihe bastes. You’re in the right of
it, Masthur Tom/ fawed Kit.

you ought to be one them/ (carelessly
peering in the barrel as he spoke.)

den ho*1 of horror.
‘Don’t b »ther, Kit. Pick up that
cloth, and stop whining, 1 know yo«>e
Orange to the backbone. Like Hie.*
Kit stood by in silence awhile, his
furtive blue eyes Meadily Watching Tom,
under the light lashes.
‘I suppose yeez couMn*t lift one of
the mantel V guns, how ?’
‘I can lift any one of them. Come
and see/
Twin hung his pretty silver mounted
gun over his lied carefully, and then
ran doufe the steps leading to his fath
er’s camber, closely followed by Kit.—
It whs a large room, wife windows
operfffrg to the ground. 6ver the %rs
place hung a couple of cntosi-d swords
and a fine gun, which Mr. KeU« e used
in lire cTilwc. From uuder the pillow
Torn drew a pair of pistols ; tire bed
was iiigli p<«ted, wit hej^yy woolen cur
'tains; from the tosjUHy^Lr top he took
down a couple of light y-nns
'Is that sill* asked Kit, with a touch
of cAHitemjit. Tom hesitated. An Iri-h
gentleman t<*ok as much pride in hfc
Sreapbith an few horses, and Tom had no
mind to hear his father sneered at ; ; slifi
toe remembered tfrfft Kit belonged to
the tl »*•■« w-feo wvre punished with death
if a gun was fohrtft fh tfeefe* hoCses, and
that tliey were in rebellion, liuruing aftd
killing, Mr. Knapp Said, all before them,
to gain possession nf these very wea*
pons.
‘If I show the others, youli tiever
breathe it now, Kit ?' he said at fast.^
‘There’s danger of—
‘Them rascally Ribbonmen I know.
0«*h, yeez wouldn’t lie afraid of poor
Kit, now, Master Tom ?*
S » Tom pushed back, the bed-cur
tains, touched a spring in the panel, and
showed the secret closet, in which hung
about a dozen-guns, m mt of them fine
ly mounted. ‘My father has a better
•ctdtoction th^Ji Lord Roscommon/ he
said proudly closing the door.
‘Troth, its fuine/ But Kit turned
aray^vitfe snefe a dull, indifferent face
that Tom’s uneasiness was dispelled. He
went down to supper. That was a very
t ML rent ioe.il from the light dishes of
craters a»frd oj*stera and tea, which
Tom Waters calls suppers. There was
n table covered with fine lin**n, which
Mis Kelsoe and her ruuids had spun
(there were gTeat pree.ses fall of it up
stair*,} and on it were roanted wild
ducks, and a mountain of spiced beef,
and dishes of game and fish, and a hare
paslrv, besides hot cakes and tea, und
an enormous bowl of punch, and high
j igsof smoking toddy, with the roasted
apples bobbing up and down. Some of
the neighbors tvete there, as they were,
indeed, for every meal Tom slipped
away after supper, and ran out to the
•kitchen. There was ms great a crowd
there, and as heavy eating in the hall.
Tli**re was n*» c-Minting the hangers on
ab uit the Kelsoe kitchen. There w*-re
cooks, and (tnids, and grooms, and the
lien wif* and the wife who - made the
barm (yeast,) and a dozen more, who
‘just held toy the farm/ Yet Mr. Kel
son wav. not a rich man. fie held Urge
fluiry farm- (on pepjier-corn leases for
ninety-nine years.) and the many mouths
ate up rfcoro than the from year
to year.
Tom liked to go down to tfeefeltcheft
to be Battered and j**k«*d with, and to
hear stories of furies or banshees. But
tonight it was very dull down there ;
the men, even Kit, had atl gone, to a
wake, and the Horn n were silent. So
he went to bed eaily, leaving a cundie
dinning, with a frightened look out at
the slope of the bill and the woods be
yond.
It was midnight when Tom awoke
with a sndfidh oT tvirtVIe Siifi-
ger. The room s*ill as death ; the can
die was gone, but the moonlight lay in
a square patch en the floor. He got
up and groped about. Nothing.
He Went to the window. What was
that dark, compact mass by the copse
yonder, where the fox found cover on
Monday ? What were those moving
■Shadows stealing slowly to the hou.-e,
below the trees? Suddenly a wild cry
liroto thr^gh the tfir. lit was his
mother's voice. Torn sprang to the
d<*ur, dashed it open, and found himself
in the grap <»f vice like bands, that
■Struggle as he might, dealt with him as
if he were nothing bur a weak kitten.
*In a moment he was gagged, bis hand
and feet tied togettidr, fctid thrown on
the landing.
There was a dt&en figures in the hall
fed!«»4v, Struggling in the moonlight.—
His fathar fighting the ifvfetfcfs alone
and unaided. iom kicked and writhed
frantically, but to no purp >se. Mr.
Kelsoe was not a strong man, but he
ought like—an Irishman. It was in.
vain though; the dark, silent figures
fswurmed out of every do »r, ovcrjiow
ered him, leit him tied and helpless —
Yet Torn, through all his fury, could not
notice that they Weft- oddly gentle with
his father; did not return one ol his
desperate blows. The women they had
locked, unharmed, into the dining mom.
When Mr. Kelsoe was et r.qucred,
there wan a mowntUV quiet* then the
masked met went out and returned, car
rying the store »*f wt»op«>us which Torn
hud discovered to Kit. One man, who
eenied tube the leader, paused a ran*
meut at the door, and, coming back,
laid two ».f the most e«istly guns lre>i«fe
Mr. Kelsoe, breaking the sii-nce wliicfi
iho.y li id observed, by a whisper—‘You
must not miss the fox bunts.*
Then they iiisapj»eart\l; all but one
ton ill, stealthy figure that stole down, a
moment alter, from Tom’s room, with
his fowling piece in hand,
'It's the scoundrel, Kit Cassidy !'
Tom coohl have cried vrilh rage.
When his mother had succeeded in
freeing herself and her husband, and
Totn had found a Vi ice, his passion
knew rio bbulitls. He shrieked out,
*Cn»jq»ics, lie down ?' from ttie door, uf
ter tlib i*eitvaiing figures, aR the most
offeiisiv^ ttotda he could find* 5 Gdi’s
creatures !’ he stormed, following his
father ‘They are tre*»cherous thieves!’
He wondered to find his father uni
mother so quiet.
•They have not touched tire plate,’
Raid Mrs. Kelso**; ‘and loofe al this, my
dear/ pointing to a heap of rings, u
watch und chain, which site had taken
off the night he! >re. They took noth^
ing bnt the aims.*
‘How emi sh«s sny a w*ord Tor ‘Hieffh ?’
Wuttered Tom. ‘G*>d’s creatures, in
deed I’ IJe went up to bis r«M>m an<l
looked at the emp y books, where hfs
gutw had hung. It Was as much as he
©■mid do to keep the tears out of his
©yes. ‘I hope that Kt Cassidy may
never come in my way/ he said,savage
ly, ‘I’ll bo revnigcd, if it is a thousand
years from now J*
cnrrrfiR it.
Kit Cassidy was seen i»o more in the
Kefcrg'kitcheus. His father, anil two
or three other men ; who wero employed
©n the farm, disappeared, und Were sup
posed to have joined the R.bhonmeu.—
l orn was quite a hero among the other
lx*ys f»u* a few Weekb 1 ; Joe Scncer and
Phi! B »yd came over to sec the marks
nf the ropes oh his wri>t*. At the meet
ing on Sit’ unlay, ti»o^ Captain Dhrcua,
who often dine*l with Mr. Keb<je, call
ed to Ton—‘That liwfotr brother of
yours played you a sharp trick, eh, Tom
my ?’
‘But I mean to pay him fbf it-, sir/
cried Tom l*»udly.
‘That’s right my lad/ said the Cap
tain, nodding and laughing Torn was
almost as proud as if he hud his new
fowling piec«? to carry ih it in irning.
Be u.'.ed after to say every day to the
boys; ‘III pay Kit Cass dy yet/ thiiik-
ingh‘»w Captain Quncan would applaud
him if he heard it, until, one day, Phil’s
big brother George said : ‘I did not
think you were the kind of boy to keep
u grudge. It seems mean and cattish
to me.*
‘Xoir, George wore whiskers, and
could constrae Euripides Tom beg in
to doubt whether his revenge were so
manly after alL B *si ie*, he was not in
hall such a fury with Kit as at first.
*t never knew a fellow who could
train a settler like Kit Cassidy/ he
said to Phil ; ‘and when I had the
ague, that chap slept at my door like a
dog. There’s no denying that he was

riously, he escaped with bis life*/
‘Father, that was KitV cried Tom.
-He was as brave as a lion, Kit was.’
‘The bravery of tiie poor cropies
s*K?ms to me to resemble that of the
beasts,’ said Captain D mean, who sat
by the fire, brushing the snuff from hto
ca nbrie shirt frill.
They are m n/said Mr. Kelsoe,gravely,
‘and peihapa it would be better to have
called out the best part of their man
hood, instead of the v.orst.’
Tosn t-nrued this over in his mind,
hht could ih ike nothing «it it. But at
the next words he prieked np his eais.
‘By the way, Kelsoe, there is a q leer
story going that one of your daries is
left open at night, from which ho ufop.
py fain lies eUfi help th-itlsalves t6 milk

it.
‘The women and children are star^

‘You encourage the rebellion, mad
am.*
‘ff thine enemy hunger, feed him/
said Mr. Kelsoe.
‘If you are trying to make a man out
of a croppy through gratitude, you are
bribing swine with pearls, said the’Cap
tain
All this perplexed Tom. Of bourse
his father must be right. But it was
So easy, like the Captain to see no £ >od
in t-ose who differed with yod. to deny
that your enemy whs a faulty man, like
yourself, and to call him a brute l He
went down that very night and sto >d on

were all in th rebel army.
CHAPTER in.
Nearly a year nad gone by. One
cool evening j ist after h trvest time,
Tom sat u'orje on th • d«» »r step, looking
over the dreary fields. He had ju*i
eaten a misearaMe supper; tins usu il.y
bright, cheerful ro >iu Was di n and dirty
the nsiies of tiie lire were scattered
over ibe hearth. Tn«*re had been sick
ness in the house for many month*, and
trouble—almost want — hud coins, so
thabthe old or*Unary routine had loug
sgo given way td dUcoifif »rt.
Tom crept up now and then to the
door of his fither’s roun^ and listen**d
to his heavy, feverish breathing, or lortii
ed at his irtothcr’s pale face Bending
over the bed, and then down again.—
The doctor came do&n aiter a while
from his daily visit.
'How is be to day, sir V
'Tne same my lad. Typhoid Is a
iJow dice ose. Bat I hbpe it will couw
all right, in turn*/ He lo cked pityingly
down on the b »y, who had followed liini
to the gate, and stood with his hand on
the horse’s name. ‘Tiie farm Beedsyroer
father sorely.*
‘Ye«. If I was only a ra m,’
The doctor was silent. Th : s terrible
year of war and pestilence had iftade
the sky dark for them all. The rebels
were conquered, but wore still in hiding
ain.^ng^he hills, shot down like dogs
whenever they ventured out ; in every
hous** there was disease or want but
the jolly K flaoe household seemed to
have fared worst of all.
.‘What is wrung; Tom, boy ? Pern ups
1 cun be oT sh ne help tb y<>fe'
‘My faih^r was in debt, it seems.—
One of the creditor* is pushing hard for
a sin ill su;n. The Sher»ff served a writ
tii day; if ifcy rather was not so near to
death, We would l»e in j ill at this min-
ute ! »tn Or*ike d »wn here, altogether ;
he was only a child, after all; and he
hid bis face ag .inst the d«»etor*a knee
and sobbed out loud.
‘Tut, tut! Poor lid 1 This miist be
set right Kt once. I’ll see to it, Torn.*
But T*»in when he hi«»ked up, had no
no brighter face than before. So many
of his fathers friends had gone to ‘see
tii fl/ nnd there was the omi of it.—
There was noth:ng so plentiful as good
Will that year, or ho scarce as money.
‘ff your crops were ia’^—h^hited the
doctor.
'If tho cropfc were in, we femuld be
naf«V said Tom, eagerly ; ‘but look at
tiiem !' pointing to the great fiihlsof
uncut grain, beginning to drop from
over ripeness ‘There is not a man to
be found to cat them/
'There are not a d*»EeM laborer* left
in the country; we miss the cropptofe,
that is true/ r»-j lined the doctor.
‘There is no chance of pardon for
them V asked Tom, anxiously.
‘Pard m ! Why, regiments from Dab
lin are guarding every cross road
through ihe hills; a.id ‘as soon as u
rebel thrusts his head into sight, he is
shot down like a rat in a hole. But
that i* n *t our trouble j ist now. I’ll
do what I can.’
‘Yes sir.’ But Tommy «at down
again, despondingly, on the step, not
even turning his head to so the doctor
ride off. if he had done so he might
have seen a d irk shadow gliding swift-
ly away from the hedge by which they
had stoodj through the furze bushes.
It was a boy’s figure and his sleeve
hung empty by his side.
Dr. Lannan did what he could the
nett day, but it *’a* not possible to
Hiiis*^ tjhe in »hey. If Kelsoe's eropte
Were harvested, every body said ‘they
codd be sold in an hour.* But the
crops were not harvested
‘Keep a good heart, Tommy/ said
the doctor, as he bade him g »*id bye the
next evening ‘Your father has been
true t«» fem G«*a and feus Triehds, atid
neith r «»f them will desert him.*
‘I don’t know,' said Tom, drearily. But
his heart grew wunti flh*1 light. H«*
ru < to tho kitchen and brought a sonde*
ing cup *»f tea t* his in ither. She
would drink it from him rather than ahy
of the m this. She looked at his bright
face aarfhe gave the cup back.
‘Is th»*re any good news, Tom ?
‘Well, n«\ hot exactly m*ws. But it

der Whether the.o strtrie, were true nr
nut it M no wonder Tom drew ba.-k as
the rhan came close to him But he
only held out a letter; and when Tom
took it, disappeared. It was a square,
dirty paper, sealed with a^mark of the
thiin.b npoa the wax. Inside were
these words :
‘Lit no one leave thit house to-night. On
pain of death.' (Signed)
‘By order of
‘Tub Sham Van- VocaT.’
An anderneath were scrawled these
lines :

What the Shan Van Voght might he,
Tom did n >r ch-arly know. A mysteri

h id liear.t, no mutter what deed Of
wic k<al ueSs u dictated to them. He sat
d .wn «ui the stairs. ‘They wall carry
off all the stock, and leave us to starve,’
he said desperately. ‘They will hnrn

I If it comes to that, I’ll tell inofhcr, but
not otherwise,' an 1 he went to the great
hall stove, and threw in the letter, and
watched it crackle and burn, ‘Til not

so much to bear.’ He would take ail
this terrible weight on himself. But
his heart thumped hard with the sick
ness of ?-ar, under his little huttony
j icket, and his knees shook. He knew
that on!} - some desperate undertaking
would bring th’ cr<.[.pics here, within a
tide of the village, where a regiment of
royal trmips Were quartered ; and for
the same reason they would cume, if at
nil, in great numbers.
There was no resistance to be made.
What he could do, he d-d ; locked and
barred the doors—the first lime they
I had ever heed so maltreated in the
I memory of uieo. The crowd of rctain-
e a had diopjied »way, until only two
or three of the maids were busied with j
his mother. But lest some accidci t
might occur to liitript them from the
House, Tmn set himself to keSp watch,
petrolling the long halls, down the par
lor imd back again the night long.
When Tntn waa a man he kept, guard
many a night on the ’buttle field, and
felt it was child’s play compared to.
those slow, creeping hours in which he
trumped to and fro, his little legs weak
with terror, but his heart brave enough
tn stand between his father and mother
and their horde dt eeemiei. The moon
light fell in level beams here and there
across the long stone hall; at one end
the fire smouldered low in the stove .
overhead he heard at intervals hia moth,
ers so! t step ia the aick chamber; from
outside came at-tim -s an owl s hoot or
the haying of the watch dog at the
tn6.it!. 'That ceased presently. Had
they poisoned Lion ?
At that Tom's face grew hot, nnd,
taking sudden heart, be hurried boldly
to ibe front door nud fl ing it open.-
The moon waa behind a ‘Clond. The
court yard was dark ; but close beside
him he heard the clang of a musket on
the stones, and the nninent after, a
quick sharp click. He drew buck and
shut the door; but, climbing nps looked
through the transom. Wlien the hrhite,
chilly moonlight shone out again over
the Gelds, he saw that dark on I masked
figures which he had seen once before
stood sentries aronnd the honse, while
large bodies of armed men passed noise
less y ns ghosts across the slope be

The Shan Van Voght did theft- wort

relieved ol one fear, another and a
greater followed continually. The rfeop
of the night had passed. The moon
hud set, and the fire gone out. Tom
crept up and down, to and fro, his limbs
stiff with cold and damp, through the
pitchy daikncss A sickly light began
to struggle through the window ; far off
he heard ihe cocks crow. The sound
reached him. Poor Tom, us in a dream.
He dragged himself to the d sn- of his
mother’s room, and beard her voice with’
in, and his father’s.
Jjorning had come, and they were safe.
He turned to go down and resume his
weary tuareli; but, oil tiie the way t tlie
floor Igrtle bead re-led, the brave heart
stopped lieating, and Tom lay stretched
on the cold stone floor, over which ITe
had kept his long vigils so well.
He was roused by a warm, coraial
touch ut his li|w, und the doctor’s breezy
voice cubing him.
‘Good news, Tom, boy ! Good news 1
LsAkT
Somebody had him ih tlieir arms It
was-Captain Duncan ; his mother, half
sobbing and half laughing, was kneeling
before him, chufi ig his icy foot, anr.
holding them to her breast, feut when
Tom tried feebly to rise, there was hie
'father ! Sitting up in the bed, his eyes
bright, und his cheeks mil of rhddy col

■You’re safe, father ! Tom clung to
his hand.
‘Safe my boy!’ cried the doctor;
‘This crisis is past, thanks to God.'
But Toih a brain went back to the
old thought; ‘Whom did they murder ?
Father, father, to call tlierh Gods creat
uresl’
No one spoke. But the Cspt .ill led
Tom to die window, and threw 1t open.
The red flush of the early day lay soft
and bright oh the gf*® slopes, and the
dewy woods, and glancing river; and
there as far as the eye could see, was
the cut grain, in long, even, gCld-Un

Tom tried to speak, hut a groat llirAp
i n hia tliroirt choked him. Underneath
the window were stacked tiie arms taken
fmin Mr. Kelsoe, Tom’s pretty fowling',
piece laid on top.
•They left thist bit of paper,’ said Mr.
KelsOe. Tom read the -fyords scNtwled
on it :
l God save ysr honor. W^r* off to
Ameriky.*
•There will be a free pardon risked,'
said the Captain. ‘And, upon my word,
I’m almost glad the sooanJreii have es
caped ’
But Tmn was looking intently at a
watched figure lieiow, with an empty
sleeve pinned to his breast. ‘It’s Kit^
father,’ he said, pleadingly. ‘He% thy
luster brother.’
‘Yes, go, Toih, nr.J bring him ih.—
And nev.-r forgot that it was the hated*
croppies whe have saved its from ruin ;
and that the man who seemed vilest to
you is-inly your brother, with heart and
blodd like your o*n.’
‘They’ve given yousnew life, Kelsoe,
that’s a fact!’ said the Captain. He
stopped, turned His head away, that
they might nut s.-e his wot eyes ‘.t’s
a cdrioUsly pleasant day,’ he said, after
a while. ‘I suppose it is soutetliig in
