Answer me as a man of sense, Mr. Peterson." Peterson was manifestly disturbed by the last part of the harangue. Now he said: "Oh, I guess Bannon wasn't scared when he drawed that gun on Reilly. He ain't that kind." "Would you draw a gun on an unarmed, defenceless man?" Grady asked earnestly. "No, I wouldn't. I don't like that way of doing." "The men don't like it either, Mr. Peterson.
It is your duty now, Fergus, to settle industriously and honestly." "Ah, sir, honestly. I didn't expect that from you, Mr. Reilly." "Excuse me, Fergus," said Reilly, taking him by the hand; "when I said honestly I did not mean to intimate any thing whatsoever against your integrity.
"Well, Lanigan, all I can say is, that he and I shall place ourselves under your advice and guidance. But my father oh, my dear father!" and again she wrung her hands and wept bitterly. "Miss Helen," said he, "as sure as the Lord's in heaven, you will discover yourself; and, after all, how do you know that Sir Robert has found out Mr. Reilly?
But to return: In a few minutes the parties dispersed, and Folliard, too much absorbed in the fates of Reilly and Whitecraft, prepared to ride to Sligo, to ascertain if any thing could be done for the baronet.
"What matter, Willy? what matter, man? sit at the table, pick something curse it, we won't eat you. Your dress? never mind your dress. I am sure Helen here will not find fault with it. Come, Helen, use your influence, love. And you, sir, Willy Reilly, give her your arm."

Oh! that's right, bravo, Helen bravo, my girl! See that, Reilly, isn't she a glorious creature? She recovers now, to set her old loving father's heart at ease." The weakness, for it did not amount altogether to insensibility, was only of brief duration.
I went with him to Cairo, where we took railway trains, and I was authorized to go to my home in Ohio to recuperate until he should telegraph me from Washington. Reilly rejoined the corps after we reached North Carolina.
Reilly, to be the bearer of bad news; but as the knowledge of it may be serviceable to you or your lawyers, I think I ought to mention it to you." "Pray, what is it?" asked Reilly. "Why, sir, it is said to be a fact that the Cooleen Bawn has proved false and treacherous, and is coming this day to bear her testimony against you."
The Lord ha'e a eare o' us! what will the warld come to next!" He accordingly repaired to the garden, where the first thing he did was to give a fearful account to Reilly of their master's political profligacy. The latter felt surprised, but not at all at Malcomson's narrative.
I received my education, sir, such as it is, and if it be not better the fault is my own, in a Jesuit seminary on the Continent." It was now the baronet's time to triumph; and indeed the bitter glancing look he gave at the squire, although it was intended for Reilly, resembled that which one of the more cunning and ferocious beasts of prey makes previous to its death-spring upon its victim.
