I respectfully declined fortunately for myself; my orders were to get to the Carlist headquarters, not to go playing Paul Jones. Leader and Smith Sheehan were about to cross the border, and readily acceded to my request to form one of the party. We rose at daybreak next morning and looked out of window for the San Margarita. The roadstead of Socoa was a blank.
When he came to himself in the moonlight, all was calm and peaceful. An owl hooted from the ruined gable, and from far away came the bark of a watch-dog, but the graveyard kept its everlasting slumber. Mike Sheehan was drenched with the dews as he stood up stiffly from Jack Kinsella's grave, upon which he had been lying. It was close upon dawn, and the moon was very low.
I won't stay in the house after to-night, if there was not another place in the country to put my head under. This angry soliloquy was pronounced in the hall of the old manor-house of Carrigrohan by John Sheehan.
Well, one way or another, he was kept waiting for several hours while I was engaged in writing, and all the country people, as they passed the window, could look in and see Mickey Sheehan standing before me, while I was employed busily writing letters.
"Did you hear anywhere any mention made of a daughter the red-haired child of twelve years ago?" inquired Miss Smith. "To be sure I did, but I'd forgotten about her," said Mullinix. "Mrs. Sheehan told me that somewhere in her excited narrative Mrs. Vinsolving did say something about the daughter. As nearly as I can recall, she told Mrs.

"But don't ye see," interrupted Sheehan, "the Tocsin's tried it and convicted him aforehand?
A dangerous place for any one to pass unless he had his eyes and his wits well about him; but Mike Sheehan was such a one, for he had the eye of the eagle over Muckross, he could climb like the mountain goat, and could carry his drink so well that no man ever saw him less than clear-headed. Mike, with his six-feet-six of manhood, was well in request at the country gatherings.

And at that the frigidity of that stare softened, melted, dissolved. "Why Terry Sheehan! What in the world!" Terry's eyes bored beneath the layers of flabby fat. "It's why, it's Ruby Watson, isn't it? Eccentric Song and Dance "
Orville Platt had been Terry Sheehan she had played the piano, afternoons and evenings, in the orchestra of the Bijou theatre, on Cass street, Wetona, Wisconsin. Any one with a name like Terry Sheehan would, perforce, do well anything she might set out to do. There was nothing of genius in Terry, but there was something of fire, and much that was Irish.
