UNDER SENTIENCE OP DEATH.
CONCLUDED.
Tho farmer lait the house anti ran uu
io tba blacksmith's forge, where the
smith and his son were getting to work.
"Mart?n, I'm ina great hurry, goin'
to the fair, an' ?, want ye to run over
wild HO mo th in' tu out a chain for me;
'twon't take voa five minutes. Martin,
yuu uiTtBTsdnr a 'tJettbor' dBy'B wurlrrin
?'our life, if you'll ^me as fast as y er
ega "'ll carry ye!" Ho said thin in an
tinder tone while tho. eon's . back ' was
turned/"and whisht for all sakes I" he
added, clenching bia hand, and an'O?ng
it nt the une on ac iou? young Vulcan; t*>?n
herushed ont, leaving the father grasping
a bar of iron and Blaring after him..
- The smith, with the freemasonry that
exists among the Irish peasantry, per
cei ved that there was secrecy and trouble
in the way, and that his good faith was
relied on. He pioked up somo tools,
muttered an excuse to his son, and fol?
lowed hastily.
When Pat Moran reaohed home he
was met at the door by Hate.
"Is he safe ?"
-"Yes, father, he's in the room at in a
bit"
Her father went in, and, going up to
his strange guest, said: "I'm goin' to
do what I can for you, Tim." Then
they all began discussing eagerly the
best way for the fugitive to take.
"But, Lord! The whole counthry'll be
roused af ther him 1" broke in the farmer,
dejectedly, as they suggested various
lonely bill-paths and cross-cuts. "Lord!
they'll root np the ground after bim 1 I
must thry though, I must th ry. Heaven
mend me ! Aff I didn't lave the horses
all this time, an* uiver," he ejaculated,
catching sight of his forgotten team, who
had dragged the plough after them to
the adjoining meadow, and were grazing
there.
A sudden thought struck bim, and ho
hastily returned to the boase with his
face flushed. As he entered the kitchen
he ran against the smith, Martin Leary,
who was staring about him.
"Martin, you're thrue an' honest, I
know, hn' you'd do a good turn as soon
as any noan I know," said Pat Moran,
abruptly. . ?jaI
"There* mehar/d on it," returned the
smith, bringing down his black fist on
the other's shoulder. In a few words be
was told "what was required of him, and
also of tho bright thought that had just
occurred to Pat Moran.
"Here ! Let mo at it," cried the smith,
enthusiastically grasping his chisel and
hammer,- Thereupon the farmer led him
into the little room, where Kate'.was. ad?
ministering hot tea and smoking grid-,
die-cake to the poor fellow, who ato and
drank almost mechanically, with his eyes
fixed on tho pretty face and busy -. hands
that administered to him.
"Here, Tim, 's some one to do you a
good turn. Hould ont your hands, me
boy! Peggy," turning to his wife, who
was devoutly groaning and telling her
beads in the ooruer, "go an' get my old
clothes; au', Kitty, run for that yellow
clay in the kitchen garden! Bun!" She
did as she was bid, and when she return?
ed with the clay, was desired to keep out
of the room for a few minutes.
"Mother, honey, whatare they doing?"
she inquired.
"Sorra bit o' me knows, acushla. O n'y
your father has some plan in bis bead I
Oh! Kitty, agra, I'm thrimbliu to think
of the throuble he may be gitten into
Ooh, Pat, honey, what are ye goin' to do
at all ?" she cried, addressing ber hus?
band, who oame out of-the bed-room,
dressed in his best blue swallow-tailed
coat, corduroys, and new gray stock?
ings.
"I'm goin' to show this new survint
boy where he's to plough, afore T go to
the fair," said the farmer, with a wink tc
the two women, who stared open-eyed at
the change of tho condemned man, with
the fatal prison garb dripping with mud
and sand, and fettered Wrists,-into a
careless, easy-going looking young la?
borer, in a suit of well-worn and patched
frieze and corduroy, dirty and clayey,
with lumps .of olay sticking ou "his
brogues, a rakish "caubeen" slouched
over his eyes, and a black "dhudeeu'
between his lips.
"Now come on ! 'Tis timo you wer?
at your work; his name's Maurice Slat
tery, Kato, an' he's wud us this monti
back !"
"Oh, father, honey ! Oh, Pat, sou
shin !" cried the wife and daughter witl
admiration.
The young man, taking the pipe fron
his mouth, said solemnly, "May Ood fo:
iver bless you, Pat Moran, an' you, Mrs
Moron, nn' you, Kato, an you, Martii
Leary," and ho grasped their bands al
round. -
"Come, 'tis six o'olook," said thi
farmer. "You know whore the plougl
is, Maurice Slattery. An', Kate, you'r<
to bury thom olothos. Come, un' I'l
show you where."
Half an hour afterwards, he was ridin)
slowly to tho fair on his young horse
which was to be Bold, casting cant iou
glances backward at tho field by th
river, whoro he could see his horse
ploughing, and his now servant boy toil
ing quietly after them.
* * * *
Such confusion and oxcitement had
not been known for years In the old oar
thedral town. Police, there were none
in those days; buf, the -whole garrison
had been turned dtit in search of the es?
caped felon'. GW?ps of red-coate pe?
rambulated the Btroets, tho roads leading
to tho country, and1 erren the lanes and
meadows. Huudreds of country folk,
who had come, Itt to ace toe execution,
also crowded th? town. The throng ion
the prison hill waa so dense that th?
farmer could scarcely proceed a step.
They were all. talking vociferously, in
Irish and English-every bile giving his
orber version of tho wonderful story.
Some declared that the prisoner had not
escaped j and that'it was a device by the
authorities to conceal .Some ..foul play.
When Pot MO ran hud < elbowed his way
with great difficulty, almost* to the pri?
son gates', bo looked eagerly for the ob-,
jeots of h is I search-JQBstf of -Tim's own
people, whom he. discovered sitting and
standing together in an excited group.
"Pat Moran, dye 'bleeve this?" said
one of the me?, hoarsely, clutching the
farmer's ooat. "D'ye bleeve that, poor
Tim has got out of their cursed thrap?"
"John Welsh, Tim'-did-get ont!" '
- . "Whist!. Lord save ns!" they all broke
in, with okra voice.
'"Tisu't safe to say moro. I'm tbrim
blin that some of them fellers wid the
brass buttons will hear me," glancing
toward the turnkey, dimly visible behind
the iron grating; "but you, John Welsh,
an' you, Mick Power, come wud a our
to-night, to the cross-roads beyant tho
ferry, at 12 o'clock, ah' there'll be a
friend to seo you. Whist, for your
80Wlsl"
The prison warders were not long in
discovering by what means the captive
hud effected his'escape,', and from tho
opening the search was carried above
ground to tho month of the sower where
it emptied itself into tho river., A ven?
turesome spirit even- crept up a fow
dozen yards of tho black passage, but
speedily returned, vowing that nothing
could live an hour in it. Nevertheless,
they sought for foot-marks on the river
brink; but the friendly tide had been
before thom. Still, on tho supposition
that he might have lived to reach the
river and swim across, a party of prison
o&cials and soldiers wero ferried over,
and marched in a body to Farmer Mo?
ran's house.
Kate was busy feeding chickens, and
her mother peeling potatoes, when they
both caught sight of the gleam of scar?
let and white cross-belts, and heard loud
tones and footsteps.
"Lord, be good and marciful to us
evermore, amin! Protect and save us!"
mutter?d Peggy Moran, dropping the
potato she was peeling, and turning with
a face of terror to her daughter, who
whispered, without turning her head
"Mother, darlin', don't purtond any?
thing, for all aakes. Ohuoky, chncky!
Chuck, chuck, chucki" "she went on,
raising her voice gaily, as she scattered
the food.
"Servant, sir," she said, wiping her
hands, and curtseying to a tall stout of?
ficer, who strode up;to tho door, scatter?
ing the chickens by tho clanking of his
spurs and sword.
? "Is this Farmer Moran's, my good
girl?''
"Yes, sir."
"Are you his daughter?"
"Yes, sir; and this is my mother."
"Where's your husband, -'Mrs. Mo?
ran?" said tho officer, turning to the
poor woman, who was endeavoring to
look calm. ' -
"At tho fair, sir. Oh, sure, 'tisn't got
.into any harm Pat has;' sir?".
"What harm should heget into; about
this runaway prisoner, you mean?" said
the officer, trying to startle her into
some admission.
"What mau, sir?" cried Kate.. "Law,
mother, honey! That's what the boy
was telling us!"
"What boy?" said the-officer, now od
his guard.
"A boy, sir-oh! a ra'al little chap-fl
gossoon-run in' here a while ago an'
said the man that's to be hung's got out
an' run nway-an* Sure we didn't bleeve
bimi" said Kate, with such an air of self
possession and innocent inquisitiveness,
that the officer was completely deceived.
A boy had como in as sho had said, and
told tho wonderful story, so sho told the
truth in that part of her assertion.
"Well, Mrs. Moran," said the officer,
"you've no objection; to have-your pre?
mises searched, I suppose? It is SUS'
peoted that the prisoner is hidden some?
where about here."
"Musha, what put that in yere heads?"
said Peggy Moran, angrily. "Faith! it's
somethin' else wo'd be thinking of, nn
not meddlin' wud the law; but you're
welcome to aarch away, sir, as long os y(
like, only it's a quaro thing to have an
honest man's house searched like f
rogue's!"
"I must do my duty," said the officer.
"Sure tho" gintiemnn won't do us anj
hurt, mother," said Kate. "Please don't
let 'em thrample the potatoes, sir!" slit
called out, as the mon turnod into the lit
tie garden."
Pat Mornu's words were almost ful
filled, that tho pursuers would root ur.
tho ground in search of the fugitive. No
a bush or a hollow about the ground, no
a loft or cranny in the house or out
building, but; was thoroughly iuvestigat
ed. At last, with a sickening feeling o:
apprehension, Kate saw tho band dis?
perso themselves over tho fields, nut
three soldiers run across the plougbec
field to question the man who wai
ploughing.
Welsh's blood ran cold as ho BOW then
coming; but recollecting that they du
not know his face, he glanced over hi:
shoulder, and shoiftB'd'in a feigned voic<
to tho horsos.
Tho soldiers wero young and careless
They morely asked two or three quos
tions, in na irrelevant way, staring up a
tho sky, nod down at tho clay, as if tho^
expected to discover the prisoner trans
formed into a spirit of earth or air
! Then they ran off again, and Weis]
j breathed freely until he spied six othe
. . - . 'iii i-^fr
\ soldiers advancing toward him, with the
officer in eharge, and two others in dark
frock coats, with Bhining hattons and
red collars.

"Howlong have yon been ploughing?"
said the officer.
"Seaee daybreak, sir. Woa!, An' hard
work I have had; every ono runnin" to
me aence breakfast, axin' me did I aee
the man that run away. Steady, there !"
The laborer sulkily keeping his back to?
ward the prison warders.
1 "Ho is supposed to have swam the
river," said the officer; "and if so, and
you have boen hore since daybreak, ho
could not have got over without you
seeing him."
"Sorra haporte I see, sure; if ho did;
an' he must be a brave swimmer, to come
aer?os that river this time o' year, un'
the wather like ice," said the plough-boy,
with an incredulous grin; "sorehe might
land down farther, it's a grad'a'al narrar,
but anyhow I see nothin'-Conshume ye,
straight !" he growled at tho horse, and
bending double over the plow, furrowed
on. The officer called his men hurriedly
back to tho country rood. .
Tho ' long day drew to a elose, and
when Kate came to call the plough-boy
to his supper, whispering that there was
no one in but her father and mother, he.
felt as if he had lived a life-time in the.
past twenty-four hours.
The farmer laughed heartily in telling
some of the stories which wero rife
about the prisoner's disappearance. His
body had been picked up four miles
down the river, his clothes liad been
fonnd by a turnkey under a bnsb, and
his handcuffs had been picked up-filed
half across-in a bog ten miles away.
"Faith, I bursted laughin'," said Pat
Moran, "when I knew that Martin Leary
had them welded into linch-pins, and
that Katy had the clothes buried in last
year's manure hope!"
So they ohatted pleasantly and secure?
ly, while the rescued man sat silent from
thankfulness nnd gratitude, only casting
side looks at Kate and sighing heavily.
"Musho, man, don't bo sighin'!" cried
the farmer, jocosely; "3'ou'll be kickin'
up yer heels at your weddin* in Ameriky
this time twelvemonth, piase God!"
"No, Mister Moran, PH never marry
any one in Ameriky," answered Welsh.
Kate got up to put on fresh fuel im?
mediately.
"Och, never fear, you will," replied
tho farmer, with good-natured obtuse
ness.
"Musha, Mi6ther Moran, 'tisn't every
man 'nd give his daughter to ono like
me," said Welsh, in a low tone.
"Arran, Tim, agra, who'd think thu
worse o' yon for having got into trouble
an' got out again?" pursned the farmer.
"Ah, 'tisn't every ono is like you,"
said Welsh, sighing.
"Oh, sure no ono will know anything
in Ameriky, Tim ; that's where you'ro
goin' I suppose?" said Mrs. Moran,
gravely and coldly.
"Yes, ma'am," answered Welsh. "I
hope so."
Tho good woman was far more acute
than her husband, and disliking tho turn
tho conversation was taking, began to
introduce other; topics; but with little
success, as her husband grow sleepy and
stupid, Kate sat quito silent, and Welsh
was sad. Thus, they sat until 12 had
struck, und then Welsh and tho farmer
rose, to walk on to the cross roads, where
tho car was to be in readiness, with his
relatives.as convoy and body-guard. .
Wolsh shook Mrs. Moran's hard hand
and kissed it in tho fulness of his emo?
tion, uttering broken words of gratitude
and blessing. Then he turned to Kate,
who was weeping silently; he strove to
speak, but words failed him, and he
grasped her hand passionately and turn?
ed away.
"I'll shut tho gate aftherye," said Kate,
following them out into the darkness.
So she did, and Welsh delayed a mo?
ment, helping her to find the loop and
staple, probably; though ho strove to.pnt
a'few hasty words together, which had
no reference to tho gate.
"Keep up yere heart, Kate, agra," ho
whispered; "I'll send ye a let h er whin "I
get safe over, piase God !"
Welsh sailed for England in a small
coasting vessel, and thence from Liver?
pool, where he remained concealed for
somo weeks until tho ardor of tho pur?
suit nf tor him had abated, he embarked
on board a fast sailing vessel-for there
were no steamers in those days-for
America. Whoo ho landed, ho sought
the homo of a relative who had been set?
tled in tho new country for some years,
aud by industry and strict honesty-for
the dreadful lesson taught him wns not
Wasted-he very soon became independ?
ent of his cousin, and liad bis own snug
house and thriving farm.
He wrote regularly to the Morans; to
tho father first, then to tho.mother, und
lastly to tho daughter. When he had
amassed a little money he wrote again to
the farmer, telling tho astonished man
bis hopes aud wishes concerning Kate.
Peggy M?ran angrily declared her hus?
band to have been blind all along-as
tliero is no doubt he was-but she posi?
tively refused to listen for a moment to
tho audacious snitor. However, "time
works wonders." Her violent opposition
died away gradually, nnd Kate waited
patiently. At tho end of live years, her
father hoing then dead, she and her
mother departed for the laud beyond tho
sea.
This . uo story was related to the
writer by a gray-haired widow, au Irish
emigrant who had returnoc1, after many
years, from America, to dio at homo.
Though her form was bent by tho weight
of moro than soventy years, her memory
was clear and retentive, and her voice
trembled and her dim blue eyes sparkled,
ns of yore, with excitement in her recital
of tho perils undergone by Welsh, the
lover of her youth, and tho fond and
faithful husband whoso joys and sorrows
she had shared for forty years. And now
sho had como homo to die in tho little
cottage by the river where she had first
known him, and where she had first sue
cored bim in the boar ai hi? danger and
distress, "On'y it's a poor thing to think
that I can't share his grave in the church?
yard where his people lie," concluded
tho widow, sadly, "but bless Qod, we'll
sobs meet a gai a.!' \{\
