HORSE-SHOE ROBINSON
A TALE OF THE TORY ASCENDENCY

JOHN P. KENNEDY
CHAPTER XLIII
Occurrences at Musgrove's Mill.
She passed by stealth the narrow
door,
The postern way also,
And thought each bush her robe

woods, and listened with painful in
tensity for the footsteps of those
whom her imagination had set upon
her track. There was, however, no
pursuit; it was the prowling fox
on; and when he sees you he will
take the leap.”

John, when danger is far off—but
when it comes near I tremble like a
coward,’’ said Mary. “Does not my
hand feol cold?”
‘‘Your lips are warm, Mary.” said
John, kissing her, ‘and your heart is
warm. Now, never flag when It comes
to the trial. Everything depends up
on you. We shall be very happy, by-
and-by, to talk this thing all over.
How many soldiers are on Macdon
ald’s guard? Have none left you
since I saw you yesterday?”
“None,” said Mary. “One man left
the mill two days since, i think 1
or the raccoon whose leap had dis- ^ t0
turbed the dry and rotten branches on business for the lieu-
that lay upon the ground; and Mary
smiled with faintheartedness at the
illusions of her own mind. She ar
rived at last beneath the brow of a
tenant.”
“Well, well, it makes but little
