The tune broke into "St. Patrick's Day," and Murty O'Toole gave a sudden involuntary shout, his hand above his head, Mick Shanahan echoed it; the Irish music was in their blood, and the old man with the brown fiddle had power to make them boys again.
And this operation, repeated for the four sides, squared the pine into such a beam as we see piled in our English timber yards. What was Arthur's surprise to recognise, in the mass of lumberers gathered round a huge mast, the Milesian countenance of Murty Keefe, a discontented emigrant with whom he had picked up a casual acquaintance on the steamboat which took him to Montreal.
But Murty had been swallowed up in a crowd anxious to congratulate him on Shannon's success, and his employer failed to find him at the moment. He came upon Sarah, however sitting under a tree, with her baby wailing dismally. "To hot for her, Sarah," David Linton said kindly. "That's right, sir it's too hot for anyone, let alone a little tiny kid," Sarah said wearily.
"An' there was niver a time when they was late home but you made sure the whole lot of 'em was killed," said Murty, grinning. "I'd come in here an' find you wit' all the funerals planned, so to speak " "Ah, go on! At least, I alwuz stayed at home when I was nervis," said Mrs. Brown. "Who was it I've known catch an 'orse in the dark, an' go off to look for 'em when they were a bit late? Not me, Mr.
The stockmen tramped out, making violent efforts to be noiseless. "Whisht, can't y'?" said Murty, indignantly, as Dave cannoned into a chair in the hall.

Well, I suppose you won't be addin' to their risks by puttin' up much of a dinner for them to-day, Mrs. Brown." He grinned wickedly. "You go on, imperence!" said the lady. Murty, that turkey weighed five-and-thirty pound!" "Sure he looked every ounce of it," said Murty. "I niver see his aiqual he was a regular Clydesdale of a bird!" "I rose him from the aig meself," said Mrs.
"There may be some truth in that," replied Paul. "Ever," continued Murty, "since it appeared in our papers here that you had your thousand pounds restored to you, all mouths are full of your praise. You were uncommon children, and it was cruel of the minister Gulmore to conspire against you.
He nearly broke his heart over the man when he was in jail, waiting to go to the gallows, and wouldn't open his lips to clear himself. Murty had been in every 'movement' from the '48 onwards. But like all the other old Fenians, he thought worse of the League than Mr. Ramsay-Stewart himself.
'What black work is this, my fine fellow? said Murty quietly. Black Shawn came to himself, seeing he was stopped by a man and no ghost. 'Let me go, for God's sake, he sobbed out.
A bit further the lord's wall gave way to iron palings, and not far beyond was the open country and the road to the hills. Once in the hills Black Shawn was safe. But they found Murty Meehan with the smoking gun in his hand, and what more evidence could be wanted?
