O'Donahue had succeeded in obtaining the pardon of the emperor, and employment in the Russian army, in which he had rapidly risen to the rank of general.

His thoughts wandered he yearned to see his father and mother, and reflected whether he might not venture back to the village, and meet them by stealth; he thought of the McShanes, and imagined that he might in the same way return to them; then little Emma Phillips rose in his imagination, and his fear that he should never see her again; Captain O'Donahue was at last brought to his recollection, and he longed to be once more with him in Russia; and, lastly, he reviewed the happy and contented life he had lately led with his good friend Mrs Chopper, and how sorry he should be to part with her.

In the mean time Mrs Austin and Mary had also arrived and had taken up their quarters at another hotel where Mrs Austin would be less exposed. It was, however, too late to visit our hero when they arrived, and the next morning they proceeded to the gaol, much about the same hour that McShane and O'Donahue paid their visit to Mr Trevor.

So come along. What's your name?" "Joey." "Sure that was your father's name before you, I now recollect and should any one take the trouble to ask you what may be the name of your master, you may reply, with a safe conscience, that it's Captain O'Donahue. Now come along. Not close after me you may as well keep open file just now, till I've made you look a little more decent."

"That, indeed, alters the case," replied O'Donahue, "and I must not stand in the way of the boy's interest; still I should like to do something for him." "You have done something for him, O'Donahue; you have prevented his starving; and if he has been of any use to you, it is but your reward so you and he are quits. Well, then, it is agreed that I take him with me?" "Yes," replied O'Donahue.

Such was the state of things, when one day Mr Small said to Joey, as he was busy copying an order into the books, "O'Donahue, I have been laying out some of your money for you." "Indeed, sir! I'm very much obliged to you." "Yes; there was a large stock of claret sold at auction to-day: it was good, and went cheap. I have purchased to the amount of 600 pounds on your account.

Dimitri, the person whom O'Donahue engaged as courier, was a very clever, intelligent fellow; and as he found that O'Donahue had all the liberality of an Irishman, and was in every respect a most indulgent master, he soon had his interest at heart.

McShane read the whole account of the trial, and the verdict, and then without saying a word, put it into the bands of O'Donahue. As soon as O'Donahue had finished it, McShane beckoned him out of the room. "I didn't like to let Mrs McShane know it, as she would take it sorely to heart," said McShane: "but what's to be done now, O'Donahue?

Once more she turned her face to O'Donahue, and this time he was fully satisfied by her looks that he was welcome. Ten minutes after, the ambassador summoned O'Donahue, and they quitted the palace. "I have seen her, McShane," said O'Donahue; "she is more beautiful, and I am more in love than ever. And now, what am I to do?" "That's just the difficulty," replied McShane.

The veil was removed; and, of course, she was immediately recognised by McShane, who was now fully convinced that Austin and Rushbrook were one and the same person. Upon the first signs of returning animation, McShane had the delicacy to withdraw, and making a sign to the gaoler, he and O'Donahue repaired to the cell of our hero. The greeting was warm on both sides.
