Kelsoe’s •only farm gate that ho knd T«uh fftet Mr. Kfiapp. The cleTgJmkti had been riding hurd, Torn noticed, and looked scared and excited; so Tots pfwmjjfly pushed his shaggy p<>nj*y between his father's horse and the hedge t<> hear all that was going oik ’The rebels are here, and in force, Mr. Kcls(*e'; there can be wo doubt abowt it. Jarvey saw with hrs own eyes last night, largo buddies of men, masked crosssag the road yonder- Your own servants are, no doubt, in league with them.’ ’That can’t be, lather,’ cried Tom an grily. 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 Von in yout hod. - ’ Mr. Kelsoe -shook his head. ‘I think I know these peoplo better than you,’ he said mildly. •What did they do last week in Do ■egei 4 In Sligo ? Plundered every k*y. alwt’s house <*f arms—then burned mid killed as they went. And rrar district iH unprotected by h single soldier. I tell yrfft, Mr. Kelsoe, there’s mOrder in the air !

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 Kelsoe epocket, precisely as there is in tom Water Vttow. ’Km this Tom wears a cheviot sack, dull and decorous-; that Tom was to be seen afar off, in his bine round* la bit, gay with gilt buttons; thi s ( ne shoves his way through a great pub io school, and chattel's glibly of chemistiy, geology, and steam engines; the other poured over heavy Latin books., with an hmtible, awkward tutor, who ‘taught sons of the gentry the humani ties,’ or be he cut high pigeon wings ii the aft with his legs, before his dancing master, practicing confta fthhees, Jigs and strathspeys.

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 killing, Mr. Kitupp said, all before them, to gain possession «f these very wea pon*. ‘lf I show the others, yowli never breathe it now, Kit ?’ he said at !ast.-*=- ‘Thcre's danger of— ‘Them rascally ttibbonmen I know. o>-h, yeez wouldn’t be afraid of poor Kit, now, Master Tom ?’ S > Torn 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 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. 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 "Shadow's Stealing slowly to the house, below tbe trees-? Suddenly a wild ery twokc Through tbe sir. was his 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 the landing. There was a dofcen figures io the hall bdi. •iv, straggling in the moonlight.— His fa th a r fighting the TTfbtfcrß aloiie and unaided, iotn kicked and writhed frantically, but to no purpose. Mr. Kelsoe was «ot a strong man, bttt bo might like—all - Irishman. It wae in vain though; the dark, silebt figures fswarmed out of every do ir, overpow ered him, leit him tied ami helpless.— 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 rying the store of weopnfls which Torn had discovered to Kit. One man, who cemed to be the leader, paused a mm went at the door, and, coining back, laid two of tin? must costly guns Ire-ide Mr. K eisoe, breaking the sil-nce which they liad observed, by a whisper—‘You must not miss the fox-hunts.’ Then they disapjieareJ ; all but one Sm iH, stealthy figure that stole down, a moment alter, from Turn’s loom, with his fowling piece in band. the scoundrel, Iv.it Cassidy !’ Toni coohl have cried with rage.

It Was as much as he Could do to keep the tears out of his 'eyes. ‘I hope that Kt Cas*idy may nevev come in my way,’ he said, s ivuge ly, ‘l’ll Be revenged, if it is a thousand years from now T 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 ed to Ton—‘That lostvr brother of yours played you a sharp trick, eh, Tom my V ‘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.

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 hood, instead iff (fee v.orst.’ 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 and bread. Surely there is no truth in it. ‘The women and children are star* ving,’ said Tom’s lit ithor, quietly. ‘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 stealing into the op est dairy for the so >d loft there for them. It was all that stood between them and starvation. They were huddled into the huts hi the Ciuyness estates, and their husbands 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 t can be of s6 ne help tb ybfi^ ‘My faih«r was iu debt, it seems.— One of the creditors is pushing hard for a sin ill sum. Tile Slier iff served a writ to day; if my father was not so near to 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<? ru > to the kitchen and brought a smok ing cup of tea t<> his mother. Sha would drink it from him rather than ahy of the m tids. She looked at his bright 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. 'y .Vs he came down the stairs wiih the empty ciip, he saw a dark figure starn ding in the dirfi'y lighted hall. He Stopped frith a fit rill of terror ; the man was masked. had heard of cases, where, desperate from hanger, the rebels fiiirt left their hiding places, and gone into farm hofcses both to rob and plfifii 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. Siys the Shan Van Voghf,’ 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 toll mother,’ ho said again. ’She has sb much to hear.’ Ho would take all 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 ?'
