It was just outside of \fr. Kelsoe’s

scared and excited; so Tots pfwmjjfly

that was going oik
’The rebels are here, and in force, Mr.

’That can’t be, lather,’ cried Tom an

Mr. Kebioe put his hand gently on
Tom’s shoulder. A J
‘There is no trusting any of them,’
Mr. Knapp went on excitedly. ‘The
secret league includes every Milesian
Irishman. Your foster brother, or the
old nurse in your chimney corner, may
he pledged to poison you, or to stub

Mr. Kelsoe -shook his head. ‘I think
I know these peoplo better than you,’
he said mildly.

Tom looked down niiea*.i-!y -through the

mysterious shadows of masked vn-wn
passing to and fro.

Tom Kelsoe was ten years old; just
the age of Tom Waters here beside him .
He was a big, broad chested fellow, too,
and could throw any boy of his size,
just like tl is other Tom. They had the
same honest, freckled faces, and shook
•of black hair, and chapped, red bands ;
aad'tlieTH nvas a lot of string, and nails,
and a top, and a wormy apple, in Torn

Tom was long ago iui l to rest, an old,
Whiteheaded man For our story is of
a eentury ago; rebels whom
Torn Kelsoe feared belonged to a little
island, where the fields are green, and
people hot-tempered all the year round.
Tom polished his gun vigorously.—
Kit Cassidy held the oil and bits of
leather. Kit was Tom’s foster brother.
‘l**l R ellance at one of tbe rebels
with this, Kit,’
‘lt's yerself as wud be the Mas
ter torn !’
‘What can those wretches do with
arms ?’ (boastingly.) ‘They never own
ed a gun.'
‘They wur’nt allowed any—no more
than the bastes. You're in the'right of
it, Masthor Toni,’ sawed Kit.
‘ by, you belong to the church. Kit;
you ought to be one them,’ (carelessly
peering in the barrel as he spoke.)
‘Celt, wir .sthue ! wild yee» to me
htat l woz u Rihhomnau ?’ with a sud
den ho >1 <>f horror. .
‘Don't bit her, Rit. Pick up that
cloth, and stop whining, l know you Vo
Grange to the backbone. Like me.’
Kit stood by in silence awhile, his
furtive Mile eyes steadily Watching Tom,
under the light lashes.
‘I suppose yecz couldn’t lift one of
the master’s guild, now ?’
‘I can lift any one of them, Come
and see. 1 *■
Twin hung his pretty silver mounted
gun over his bed caretnlly, and then
ran duwb tbe steps leading to bis fath
er’s camher, closely followed by Kit.—
It whs a large room, with windows
openfi’hg to the ground. (!)ver the trj
place hung a couple of crossed swords
and a fine gnn, which Mr. Kelsoe used
in tlie chase. From under the pillow
Tun drew a pair of pistols ; the bed
was high posted, wit heavy woolen cur
kains ; from the ti , stniy 4i ¥»r top he took
down a couple of light nuns.
’ls that alii* asked Kit, with a touch
of contempt. Torn hesitated. An Iri-h
gentleman took as much pride in hin
fe’eapbhk ah h'is horses, and Tom had no
mind to hear his father sneered at; stifi
be remembered tfrat Kit belonged to
the 61.5-U who were punished with death
if a gnn was fohrfft ih ’ttieiV ho Uses, and
4b.it they were in rebellion, burning aftd

showed the secret closet, in which hung
about a dozen-guns, m ist of them tine
ly mounted. ‘My father has a better
•Collection Lord Koseommon,’ he
said proudly closing the door.
‘Troth, its fdiue.’ But Kit turned
anray jvitb such a dull, indifferent face
that Tom’s uneasiness was dispelled. He
went down to supper. That was a very
different meal from the light dishes of
crackers awd and tea, which
Tom Waters calls suppers. There was
a table covered with fiae limn, which
Mis Kelsoe and her maids had spun
(there were great presses full of it up
stairs,) and on it were Toasted wild
ducks, and a mountain of spiced beef,
and dishes of game and fish, and a hare
pastrv, besides hot cakes and tea, arid
an enormous bowl of punch, and high
jugs of smoking toddy, with the rousted
apples bobbing up and down. Some of
the neighbors Were there, as they were,
indeed, for every meal Torn slipped
away after supper, and ran out to the
kitchen. There was as great a crowd
there, and as heavy eating in the hall.
There was m> counting the hangers on
about the Kelsoe kitchen. There were
•cooks, and Ih lids, ami grooms, ami the
lion wife and the wife who made the
barm (yeast,) and a dozen more, who
‘just held by the farm.’ Yet Mr. Kel
soe way, not a rich man. Se held large
ft airy farm- (on pepper-corn leases for
ninety-nine years;) and the many months
ate up ihore that! the pv«*f.is bom year
to year.
Tom liked to go down to thelTtcbeh
to he flattered and joked \vith, and to
hear stories of furies or banshees. But
to night it was very dull down there;
the men, even Kit, had atl gone, to a
wake, and the %vom n were silent. So
he went to bed eaily, leaving a candle
dinning, with a frightened look out at
the slope of the hill and the woods be
yond.
It was midnight tvhen Tom awoke
with a stidde'h fcelrtig Trf teirtble clats
ger. The room still as death ; the can
die was gone, but the moonlight lav in
a square patch en the floor. He got
up ami groped about. Nothing.

yonder, where the fox found cover on
Monday ? What were those moving

mother’s voice. Tom sprang to the
door, dashed it open, and found himself
in the grap of vice like hands, that
'struggle as ho might, dealt with him as
if he were nothing but a weak kitten.
"In a moment he was gagged, ids hand
and feet tied togettter, ami thrown on

There was a dofcen figures io the hall

Yet Tom, through all his fury, could not
notice that they were oddly gentle with
his father; did not return one o! his
desperate blows. The women they had
locked, unharmed, into the dining room.
When Mr. Kelsoe was conquered,
there was a inotHcntV quiet ; then the
in-asked men went out and returned, car

father ‘They are treacherous thieves!
lie wondered to find his father und

‘They have riot touched the plate,’
said Mrs. Kelsoe; ‘and look at this, my

watch and chain, which she had taken
off the night he! ire. ‘They tobk noth?*

‘How cun she s-iy a Word Tor tbeffh ?’
Thu tiered Tom. ‘God’s creatures, in

looked at the emp y hooks, where his

'eyes. ‘I hope that Kt Cas*idy may

ly, ‘l’ll Be revenged, if it is a thousand

CH ATTER It.
Kit Cassidy was seen no more in the
Ke%rnrkitchens. His father, and two
or three other men, who wero employed
Y»n the farm, disappeared, hud Were sup
posed to have joined the Ribbonmeti.—
Tom was quite a hero among the other
boys for a few Weekti; Joe Sencer and
Phi! B.iyd came over to see the marks
of the ropes on his wrUts. At the meet
ing on Saturday, Captain Dune no,
who often dined w ith Mr. Kelsoe, call

yours played you a sharp trick, eh, Tom

‘But I mean to pay him fbf it, sir,’
cried Tom loudly.
‘That’s right my lad,’ said the Cap
tain, nodding and laughing Tom was
almost as proud us if he had his new
fowling piece to carry that morning.
He u.sed after to say every day to the
boys; ‘l’ll pay Kit Cass dy yet,’ think
ing how Captain Quncun 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
a grudge. It seeins mean and cattish
to me. ’
‘Now, George wore whiskers, nnd
could construe Euripides Torn began
to doubt whether his revenge were so
manly after all. Beside*, he was not in
ball snob a fury with Kit as at first.
‘L never knew a fellow who could
train a settler like Kit Cassidy,’ ho
said to Phil ; ‘and when I had the
ague, that ehap slept at my door like a
dog. There’s no denying that ho was
very fond of in \ Bit there's no good
in a croppy. Mm 1 l tell you, Pail.’
Soon alter news came of the battle at
Ross. The daughter of the rebels wis
terrible. Mr. Kelsoe read the recount
from a B ibliu p ipei»; which was taken
by a club and passed Troth hob-re to
h also. ‘Oae little lad from co'nhty
Cor,k’it said,,‘rushed up the embank

‘Father, that was KitV cried Tom.
-He was as brave as a lion, Kit was.’
‘The bravery of tne poor eropies
seems to me to resemble that of the
beasts,’ said Captain Dunuun, who sat
by the fire, brushing the snuff from his
cambric shirt frill.
They are men,’said Mr. Kelsoe,gravely,
l iiml pel baps it Would be better to have
called out the best part of their than

Tom turned this over in his mind,
bht could ih iko nbthih'g iff it. But at
the next words he pricked up his ears.
‘By the way, Kelsoe, there is a queer
story going that one of your daries is
left open at night, from which .he utop
py fain lies ehfi help th -itl+elves td rhilk

it.
‘The women and children are star*

‘You encourage the rebellion, mad
am.’
‘lf thine enemy hunger, feed him,’
said Mr. Kelsoe.
‘lf you are trying to make a man out
ot a croppy through gratitude, you are
bribing swine with pearls, Said the Cap
tain
All this perplexed Tom. Os course
his father must be right. But it was
so easy, like the Captain to see iio good
in t :ose wlio differed with yeh, to deny
that your enemy was a faulty man, like
yotildell, and to call him a brute ! He
went down that very nigfit and stood on
the hill to Watch the lean ragged women

stood between them and starvation.
They were huddled into the huts hi the

were all in the rebel army.
CHAPTEIt 111.
Nearly a year nad gone by. One
eool evening just after harvest time,
Foih sat alofie on th•• door step, looking
over the dreary fields. He had just
eaten a misearable supper; tin; usually
bright, cheerful ro un Was dim and dirty,
the ashes of the lire were scattered
over the hearth. Tnere had been sick
ness in the house for many months, and
trouble—almost want —had come, so
that*the old ordinary routine had long
ago given way to disooirif >rt.
Tom crept up now and then to the
door o! his father’s room, and listened
to his heuVy, feverish breathing, or lodi
ed at his ill.tiller’s pale face bending
over the bod, and then down again.—
The doctor came down alter a while
from his daily visit.
‘How is he to day, sir ?’
'The same my lad. Typhoid is a
slijw disease. But I hdpu it will come
all right, in tune.’ He lo -ked pityingly
down on the b o', who had followed him
to the gate, and stood with his hand on
the horse’s name. 'The farm Beedsyowr
father sorely.’
‘Yes. If l was only a man,’
T%e doctor was silent. Th : s terrible
year of war and pestilence had rftade
tba sky dark for them all. The rebels
were conquered, but were still in hiding
ain.sng|he hills, shot down like dogs
whenever they ventured out ; in every
ho us- there was disease P r want, but
The jolly K -lshe household seemed Ift
have hired worst of all. ~
.‘What is wrong, Tom, boy ? Perhaps

‘My faih«r was iu debt, it seems.—
One of the creditors is pushing hard for

death, he would be in j ill at this min-
broke and nvn here, altogether ;
he was only a ohikl, after all; and he
hid bis face against the doctor’s knee
and sobbed out loud.
‘Tut, tut I Poor lad I This rniist be
set right hi once. I’ll see to it, Tom.’
Bui Tom when he looked up, had no
no brighter face than before. So many
of his fathers friends had gone to ‘see
to ft,’ and there was the end of it.—
There wuh nothing so plentiful as good
Will that year, or so scarce as money.
‘lff your crops were the
doctor.
’lf tho crbpb were ih, we ivould be
safey’said Tom, eagerly; ‘but look at
them 1’ pointing to the great fiddsof
uncut grain, beginning to drop from
over ripeness ‘There is net a man to
be found to ettt thenft,’
‘There are not a doZeft laborers left
in the country ; we miss the croppieS,
that is true,’ rejoined the doctor.
‘There is no chance of pardon for
them ?’ asked Tom, anxiously.
‘Paid >n ! Why. regiments from Dub
lin are guarding every cross road
through the hills; and ‘as soon as u
rebel thrusts his head into sight, he is
shot down like a rat in a hole. But
that is n>t our trouble j ist now. I’ll
do what I can.’
'Yes sir.’ But Tommy sat down
again, desp mdingly, on the step, not
even turning his head to so tho doctor
ride off. If ha hid done so he might
have seen a dark shadow gliding swift
ly away from the hedge by which they
had stood, through the furze bushes.
It was a boy’s fi piro and his sleeve
hung empty by bis side.
Dr. L innan did what he could the
nefct day, h«t it was not possible to
l,he in obey. If KeUoe’s crop’s
were harvested, every body said ‘they
c >uld be sold in an hour.’ Bnt the
crops wero not harvested
‘Keep a good heart, Toniitiy,’ said
the doctor, as he bade him g »>d bye the
next evening ‘Your father hiis beeD
true to bis Gotland 'hits ‘friends, ahd
neith r of them will desert him.’
‘I don’t know,’ said Torn, drearily. But
hia heart grew w'arrh tfM light. H<?

would drink it from him rather than ahy

face asrfhe gave tiie onp back.
‘ls there any good news, Tom ?
‘Well, n<», hot exactly news. But it
will come, mother,’ said Tom oonfideht.

.Vs he came down the stairs wiih the
empty ciip, he saw a dark figure starn

Stopped frith a fit rill of terror ; the man

der Whether these sthries were true or
not it is no wonder Toift drew hack as
the rnun carfie close to him But he
only held out a letter; and when Torn
took it, disappeared. It was a square,
dirty paper, sealed with a murk of the
thumb hpon the wax. Inside were
these words :
‘Let no one leave this home to-night. On
pain of death.' (Signed)
‘By order of
‘The Shan Van Wight.’
An underneath were scrawled these
lines :
""’.‘Fot 6(1 Id Ireland shall bo frei,
From tnc centre of the sea.

Wha? the Shan Van Voght might be,
Tilth did n>t clearly know. A mysteri
ous power which the lelWls obeyed he
had heard; no matter what deed 6f
it dictated to them. He sat
and >wn on the stairs. ‘They wall carry
off al! the stock, and leave us to starve,’
he said desperately. ‘Tliey will burn
the house, arid us, like rats in a barn.—
If it comes to that, I’ll tell mother, but
not otherwise,’ an 1 he went to the great
hall stove, and threw in the letter, and
watched it crackle and burn, ‘l’ll not

this terrible weight on himself. But
his heart thumped hard wiih the sick
ness of ?.*ar, under his little huttony
jacket, and his knees shiiuk". Ho kue.w
that only - Home desperate undertaking
would bring the croppies here, within a
tilde of the village, where a regiment of
royal troops Were quartered ; and for
the same reason they would come, if at
all, in great numbers.
There was no resistance to be made.
What he could do, hed.d; locked and
barred the donrs—the first time they
had ever been so maltreated irt the
memory qf men. The crowd of rctain-
« s had dropped away, until only tw*>
or three of the maids were busied with
his mother. But lest some accidei t
might occur to tirfipt them from The
House, Tom act himself to ke3p watch,
patrolling the !(mg balls, down the par
lor and back again the night long.
Whea Tom was a man he kept, gfiafd
many n nigb’t fin tbe ’buttle field, and
felt it was child's play compared t<».
those slow, creeping liotirs in which he
tramped to and fro, his little legs weak
with terror, but his heart brave eoongh
to atand betwhen his father and Mother
and their horde df enemies. Tbe moon
light fell in level beams here and there
across the long stone ImlI; at one end
the fireamouldercd low in the stove,
overhead he heard at intervals his moth,
ers soft step in the sick chamber; from
outside came at tim -s an owl s limit or
tho buying of the watch dog at the
fnOoti. That ceased presently. Had
they poisoned Lion ?
At that Tom's face grew hot, and,
taking sudden heart, he hurried boldly
to the front door and flung it open. -
The moon was behind a dloird. The
court yard was dark ; but close beside
him he heard the clang of a musket on
the stones, and the moment after, a
quick sharp click. He drew buck und
shut the door ; but, climbing np> looked
through the transom. Wlien the bvhite,
chilly moonlight shone out again over
the fields, he saw that dark ah 1 masked
figures which he had seen once before
stood sentries around the house, while
large bodies of armed men passed noise
less y as ghosts across the slope be
tween him and the wotxis.
The Shan Van Voght ftid theiir work
of murder it was) in silence.
All night long ! He did not look out
again; but he neyer rested for a mo
ment. Now he fancied he heard steal
thy steps above or bolow now he was
sure it was the crhokling .if a fire klh
died iu one of the cellars underneath '
relieved ot one fear, another and a
greater followed continually. The dsep
of the night had passed. The moon
had set, and the fire gone out. Tom
crept up and down, to and fro, his limbs
stiff with cold and damp, through the
pitchy darkness A sickly light began
to struggle through the window ; far off
he heard the cocks crow. The sound
reached him. Poor Tom, as in a dream.
He dragged himself to the door of his
mother’s room, and heard her voice with’
in, and his father’d.
iJoruing had come, and they were safe.
He turned to go down and resume his
weary march; but, on the the way, the
Rom- fiend reeled, the brave heart
etbfiped lieating, and Tom lay stretched
on the cold stone floor, over which He
hud kept his long vigils so well.
He was roixsed by a waritt, cbrSial
touch at his lips, and the doctor’s breezy
voice cal'ing him.
‘Good new's, tora, boy ! Good hews 1
Lbfik T
Somebody had him ih their arms It
wasX/iiptniii Duncan; his mother, half
sobbing and half laughing, was kneeling
before birh, chafing his icy feet, ancl
Abiding theih to hes breast. 6ut when
Tom tried feebly to rise, there was his
'father ! Sitting up in the bed, his eyes
bright, and his cheeks mil of rliddy col
or, as they had not been for months.
'You’re safe, father ! Torn clung to
his hand.
‘Safe my boy!’ cried the doctor;
‘This crisis is past, thanks to G<«l.’
But Toth's brain went buck to the
old thought; ‘Whom did they murder ?'
Father, father, to cafi tfierh God’s creat
ures T
No one spoke. But the Captafi led
Tom to the window, and threw It open.
The red flush of the early day lay soft
and bright bh the nli>jie.+, and the
dewy woods, and glancing river; and
there as far as the eye could see, was
the cut grain, in long, even, gdld%n
heaps, shining in the swn 1
Torn tried to speak, hut a gs-eat liirftp
in his tlirOtft clinked him. Underneath
the window were stacked the arms taken
fiom Mr. ftelsoe, Tom’s pretty fowling',
piece laid on top.
‘They left thiit bit of paper,’ said Mr.
Kelsbe. Torn read the frords scowled
on it: .
‘God save yer honor. Were off to
Ameriky.’
‘There will be a free pardAft rssrtedp
said the Captain. '‘And, upon thy word,
I’m almost glad the scoundrels have es'
oaped ’
But Tom was looking intently n't a
watched figure beiow, with an empty
sleeve pinned to his breast. ‘lt’s Kit ‘
father,’ he said, pleadingly. ‘Hell rtiy
foster brother.’
‘Yes, go, Tofrt, hr.d Bring him in.—
And never forget that it was the hated*
croppies whe have saved us from ruin ;
and that the man who seemed vilest to
you is*only your brother, with heart and
blobd like yotir o'fon.’
‘They've given life, Kelsoe,
that’s a fact!’ said the Captain. He
stopped, turned his head away, that
they might not see bis wot eyes ‘.t’s
a cdrimisly pleasant day,’ he said, after
a while. ‘I suppose it is sonftetitig in
ijm air. Bat l feel as if I ootihl find a
brother in any man, even a seoundrelly
crbppy, and see something good even ifi
the Shan Van Voght !’
A Fpaniard in the first pages of
his English grarrtfriar, deriring one
evening at table to be helped to some
hbih-d tongue, said, ‘I will Ihank yoll,
miss, to pass me the language.’
