"I assure you," he said, "there are some of them who cannot even pay their dues to their priest, and when I say that, you will know how pinched and driven they must indeed be." It was in view of these tenants that he seemed to justify the course of Mr. Dunne and Mr. Kilbride. "They must all stand or fall together."
If you'd all only have come half an hour later than you did That's what made me so mad just another half hour later, mind you, and I would have been away en route for the Coast by the night train." Presently Kilbride threw aside his pen and straightened up. "Now, listen, Gully!" he said. And he read out the confession that he had composed from the main facts of the prisoner's remarkable statement.
"And now, Allan, what is your adventure?" "Why, 'twas a wolf hunt we had, I and some of our men of Kilmory. The wolves, as you know, have been numerous in the island since the snow and frost came. We tracked a goodly pack of them into Glen More, and, running them to a corrie in the hill of Kilbride, we there slew three of them with our spears.
The other, hesitating a moment, swallowed nervously in his agitation. "Yes," he said huskily, "I know but that's all right! . . . As I said before it can make little or no difference . . . in my case. . . ." Turning, Kilbride silently motioned to McSporran to unlock the cell-door.
A brief whispered colloquy ensued between them, and then the local justice settled himself back in his chair, chin in hand.

Similar offers had been cordially met by Lord Lansdowne's tenants in Kerry, and with excellent results. But here they were rejected almost scornfully, though accompanied by offers of abatement on the rents, which, in the case of Mr. Kilbride, for example, amounted to 20 per cent. "How did this happen, the tenants being good men as you say?" I asked of Mr. Hind.
"He wad wish tu speak wi' ye, Sirr." The inspector's face hardened, and his steely eyes glittered strangely as he heard the news. For a brief space he remained, chin in hand, in deep thought; then rising, he sauntered slowly over to the prisoner's cell. "What is it you want, Gully?" he said quietly. "Kilbride Inspector!" came the great rumbling bass through the bars.
