Well, take half a dozen mounted I men, and, as you very properly suggested, proceed with all haste to farmer Graham's, and see whether this mendicant is there or not; if he is there, take him into custody at all events, and if he is not, then it is clear he is a man for whom we ought to be on the lookout." "I should like to go with them, your honor," said the Red Rapparee.
"O'Donnel," said Sir Robert, "I have other business for you to-night." "Well, plaise your honor," said O'Donnel, "as they're goin' in that direction, let them turn to the left after passin' the little stranie that crosses the road, I mane on their way home; if they look sharp they'll find a little _boreen_ that--but indeed they'll scarcely make it out in the dark, for it's a good way back in the fields--I mane the cabin of widow Buckley.

If there's one house more than another in the whole countryside where! Reilly is likely to take shelter in, that's it.
He gave her that cabin and a large garden free, and besides allows her a small yearly pension.

But remember, you can't bring your horses wid you--you must lave some of the men to take charge of them in the _boreen_ till you come back.

I wish you'd let me go with them, sir." "I cannot, O'Donnel; I have other occupation for you to-night." Three or four of them declared that they knew the cottage right well, and could find it out without much difficulty.

"They had been there," they said, "some six or eight months before upon a priest chase." The matter was so arranged, and the party set out upon their expedition.
It is unnecessary to say that these men had their journey for nothing; but at the same time one fact resulted from it, which I was, that the ragged mendicant they had met must have been some one well worth looking after.
