His name is Hesketh " "Not Sir Thorald?" cried Jack. "Eh? yes, that's the man. Know him?" "A little," said Jack, laughing, and went out, bidding Graham good-night, and promising to have him roused at dawn. "Aren't you going to turn in?" called Grahame, fearful of having inconvenienced Jack in his own quarters. "Yes," said the young fellow. "I won't wake you I'll be back in an hour."
Your part, Grahame, will be to write up a story for the morning papers, covering dramatically the details of this very remarkable episode." They sat long discussing the various features of the scheme. Next morning Curran and Arthur sat down to talk over the terms of surrender in the detective's house.
In the second week Grahame had him telling stories after dinner for the sole purpose of diverting the sad and anxious thoughts of Honora, although Arthur hardly gave her time to think by the multiplied services which he rendered her.
"To reconcile your actions to your duty, and your duty to your conscience, is your business, Colonel Grahame, not mine," said Morton, justly offended at being thus, in a manner, required to approve of the sentence under which he had so nearly suffered. "Nay, but stay an instant," said Claverhouse; "Evandale insists that I have some wrongs to acquit myself of in your instance.
"And do you, Edward, do you love my poor child?" asked the father, with a quivering lip and glistening eye, as he laid his hand, which trembled, on the young man's shoulder. "Love her? oh, Mr. Grahame, she has been the bright beaming star that has shone on my ocean course for many a long year.
"Certainly, my dear Evandale," answered Claverhouse, "I am not a man who forgets such debts; you will delight me by showing how I can evince my gratitude." "I will hold the debt cancelled," said Lord Evandale, "if you will spare this young man's life." "Evandale," replied Grahame, in great surprise, "you are mad absolutely mad what interest can you have in this young spawn of an old roundhead?
His ancestor came of a good English family, and was one of the company which sailed from England for the New World under Governor Winthrop, in 1630, and which, according to Grahame, contained "several wealthy and high-born persons, both men and women, who expressed their determination to follow truth and liberty into a desert, rather than to enjoy all the pleasures of the world under the dominion of superstition and slavery."
Louis kept his bed for some weeks, and suffered a slow convalescence. Private grief must give way to public necessity. In this case the private grief developed a public necessity. Arthur took pains to tell his story to the leaders. It gave point to the general onslaught now being made on the Irish by the hired journals, the escaped nun, and, as some named him, the escaped historian. A plan was formulated to deal with all three. Grahame entered the lists against Bitterkin and Smallish, Vandervelt denounced the Confessions and its author at a banquet vis-
The Privy Council of Scotland, in whom the practice since the union of the crowns vested great judicial powers, as well as the general superintendence of the executive department, was met in the ancient dark Gothic room, adjoining to the House of Parliament in Edinburgh, when General Grahame entered and took his place amongst the members at the council table.
Well, Marche, I drink to neither one side nor the other, but here's to the men with backbones. Prosit!" They laughed and clinked glasses. Grahame finished his bottle, rose, politely stifled a yawn, and looked humourously at Jack. "There are two beds in my room; will you take one?" said the young fellow. "Thank you, I will," said Grahame, "and as soon as you please, my dear fellow."
