"Hired," said Fibsy, as Stone hesitated to speak; "hired by a man who paid him ten thousand dollars." "Hanlon a gunman!" said Shane, amazed. "Not a professional one," Fibsy said, "but he acted as one in this case.
Shane had done his best and his last for the U. P. R. Neale and Larry and Slingerland planned to go into the hills late in the fall, visit Slingerland's old camp, and then try to locate the gold buried by Horn. For the present Larry meant to return to Benton, and Neale, though vacillating as to his own movements, decided to keep an eye on the cowboy.
"By fair means or foul! But try it on! I'm not afraid of you." He stepped back a pace, the better to defend himself in case he had to. The red oar was still in his firm hands. "Now wait a minute," put in Moran. "We'll try the fair means first. What do you say to that? Show him the bills." With a quick gesture Bruce drew out a roll of greenbacks. "Here you go, Shane!" he exclaimed.
His gory head was presented to Captain Piers, who hastened with it to Dublin, where he received a reward of a thousand marks for his success. High spiked upon the towers of the Castle, that proud head remained and rotted; the body, wrapped in a Kerns saffron shirt, was interred where he fell, a spot familiar to all the inhabitants of the Antrim glens as "the grave of Shane O'Neil."
"Why," continued Shane Fadh, "some said one thing, and some another; but the upshot of it was this: when the last of the Grameses sould the estate, castle, and all, it seems he didn't resave all the purchase money; so, afther he had spint what he got, he applied to the purchaser for the remainder him that the Mountjoy family bought it from; but it seems he didn't draw up writings, or sell it according to law, so that the thief o' the world baffled him from day to day, and wouldn't give him a penny bekase he knew, the blaggard, that the Square was then as poor as a church mouse, and hadn't money enough to thry it at law with him; but the Square was always a simple asy-going man.
In the North Shane O'Neill had succeeded on the death of his father , and seemed determined to vindicate for himself to the fullest the rights of the O'Neill over the entire province of Ulster. The Earl of Kildare refused to abandon the Mass, and was in close correspondence both with his kinsman the Earl of Desmond, and with several of the Irish chieftains.
But this, like its other provisions, was ignored; and throughout Elizabeth's reign the gentry of the Pale went unquestioned to Mass. There was in fact no religious persecution, and in the many complaints of Shane O'Neill we find no mention of a religious grievance. But this was far from being the view of Rome or of Spain, of the Catholic missionaries, or of the Irish exiles abroad.
"Oh, stop that nonsense, Jack!" exclaimed Cora, as her brother waltzed forward to do a two-step on the moss with timid Marita. "Why, what is wrong?" "Lots!" she exclaimed, and her manner must have impressed Jack, for he grew grave at once. "Has anything more happened since last night?" he asked. "There has. We've discovered the meanest plot to harm Denny Shane. Listen."
In the South of Ireland the young Earl of Desmond was in a particularly strong position, but, unfortunately, he was personally weak and vacillating, and by playing off the Earl of Ormond against him Elizabeth was able to keep him in subjection to England, to use him against Shane O'Neill, and to prevent him from taking part in a national or religious confederation.
Embury always called her 'Tiger'." "I don't wonder!" and Shane stared at Eunice, who had stepped back but who still stood, like a wild animal at bay, her eyes darting angry fire. "Now, Mrs, Embury, let's get down to business. Who's your lawyer? "I am," declared Alvord Hendricks. "I am her counsel. I represent Mrs, Embury. Eunice, say nothing more. Leave it to me.
