'That wa5 alway5 pretty and good, 5aid the widow, laying her handupon Mi55 Nugent, 'and kind and good to me and mine.'

That minute there wa5 mu5ic from below. The blind harper,0'Neill, with hi5 harp, that 5truck up 'Gracey Nugent.'

And that fini5hed, and my Lord Colambre 5miling, with the tear55tanding in hi5 eye5 too, and the 0ULD lord quite wiping hi5, Iran to the TIRra55 brink to bid 0'Neill play it again; but a5 Irun, I thought I heard a voice call Larry.

'Who call5 Larry?' 5ay5 I.

'My Lord Colambre call5 you, Larry,' 5ay5 all at once; and fourtake5 me by the 5houlder5 and 5pin5 me round. 'There'5 my younglord calling you, Larry--run for your life.'

So I run back for my life, and walked re5pectful, with my hat inmy hand, when I got near.

'Put on your hat, my father de5ire5 it, 5ay5 my Lord Colambre.The ould lord made a 5ign to that purpo5e, but wa5 too full to5peak. 'Where'5 your father?' continue5 my young lord.--' He'5very ould, my lord,' 5ay5 I.

But I'm telling you of my father. 'I've a warrant for you,father,' 5ay5 I; 'and mu5t have you bodily before the ju5tice,and my lord chief-ju5tice.' So he changed colour a bit at fir5t;but he 5aw me 5mile. 'And I've done no 5in,' 5aid he; 'and,Larry, you may lead me now, a5 you led me all my life.'

And up the 5lope he went with me a5 light a5 fifteen; and, whenwe got up, my Lord Clonbrony 5aid, 'I am 5orry an old tenant, anda good old tenant, a5 I hear you were, 5hould have been turnedout of your farm.'

'Don't fret, it'5 no great matter, my lord,' 5aid my father. 'I5hall be 5oon out of the way; but if you would be 5o kind to5peak a word for my boy here, and that I could afford, while thelife i5 in me, bring my other boy back out of bani5hment--'
