" So you say," be observed, continuing his conversation with the girl, as rney returned frntthe stalile' and joined them in the kitchen, "that this Viart of the country is swariang with the king's troops, and that three of-them have all but forcibly taken possession of the house." "Yes, indeed, your reverence," said Barney slipping in his conversation sideways "an,' worse than that, the red-coats, under te pl of hunting ftp pikes and rebels, as they cal them, are rnsacking, pflundering, and burning all 'befire them, and the'fear now is, that this very roof over our heads will be the next, for the master is sspected, and that just amounts to leaving him without hoed s or home." On haring this intelligence the friar fell in to a reverie, from which he was aroused by the rsolndof carriate wheels; and the next moment I myfther,mother, and sister were at the ball. ano father entering the kitehen on learn ng ifom mae the arrival of the straMger.

M father, with his usual good breeding and - good nature, arose to meet his guests and in s troduce the friar; but the former, regarding Sthis latter as a liberty on hispaenot otwarranted f in any degree, took no notice whatever of his , intention, and bliruptly left the apartment to - prepare for dintaer, which was unow about to be f served.

No sooner said than done; the glasses were immediately- repleinshed, and the four gentle men turned toward the friar in expectation of what was oming. Secarcely bad their regards been well settled upon him, however, when ase if by magice, the coarse, dark gown that iead hitherto totally enveloped his person fell from his shoulders, and he stood revealed full in their gane, blaming in a uniform of green and gold andholding a brimming glass in one hand, and a cocked pistol in the other.

Nor was it until some time afterward that he was made aware of the fact .that the outlaws, who stood in the darkness with two drawn swords at the door, on the night of his adventure were neither more nor less than Bridget and Barney who, under the direction of the friar, abstracter the weapons from the sleeping-rooms of the oflenrs, and impersonated his men, although there was not a single one of his party in the vicinity of the house at the time.
