Then there was a pause; than rush from without. and an ir- regular discharge of innsketry, and the clear part of the hall was cov- ered with enemies. I can’t tell exactly what ensued. I know they retreated several times, for, the barricade was impassiblc ; and while their shots fcll hurmlessly on the mattrusscs, every one Ofours toldâ€"~nothing makes a man shoot straight like being short of powder â€"â€"but they came onagain,each time with added ferocity. I heard Mohun mutter more than once iii a dissatisfied tone. ‘ Why does not that Scoundrel show him- sclfl I can’t make out Dclaney.’ All at once I heard a stifled groan on my right, and to my horror I saw Ulonlarf dragged over the bril- ustrade, in the grip ofa giant, whom I at once guessed to be the man We had looked for so long. Under cover of the smoke he had swung himself up the balustratlc of the staircase, and grasping the poor boy’s collar as he looked out incau- tiously from his shelter, dropped back into the hall, carrying his vic- tim with him. \Vitli a roar of cxhullation the wild beasts closed round their prey. Beforcl had time to think what could be done, I heard, clusc to my ear. :1 blasphemy so awful that it made me start at that critical mo- ment. It was Ralph’s voice, but I hardly knew itâ€"hoarse and gutter- al, and indistinct with passion. Without ltcsituting an instant, he swung himself over the balustradc, and lighted on his feet in the midst of the crowd. They were half drunk with whisky, and maddencd by the smell of blood ;,but so great Was the terror of Mohun’s name, all recoiled when they saw him thus face to face, his sword bare and his eyes blazing. The momentary panâ€" ic suvcd Ulontai‘f. In a second Ralph had thrown him under the arch of a deep doorway, and placed himself between the senseless body and its assailants. Two or three shots were fired at him witltout ef- fect ; it was difficult to take aim in such a tossingchaos ; then one man, Delaney, sprung out at. him with clubbed musket. ‘ At last I’ we heard Mohun say, laughing low and savagely in his heard as he stepped one pace for- ward to meet his enemy. A blow that looked as if it might have full- ed Behemoth was warded dexter- busly by the sabre, and, by a quick turn of the wrist, its edge laid the Rupp'nrcc’s face upon in it bright scarlet gash, extending from cyc- bt'ntv t0 chin.

They were drawing back, when Delaney. t‘c- covei‘tug from the first effects ofhis fearful wound. crawled forward, graSping out curses that floated on the torrent of his rushing blood, and tried to grasp Mohun by the knees and draw him down. Bali! It was it sight to haunt one‘s dream. Ralph looked down on hint, and laughed again; his sabre whirled round once, and cleared a wide ctr- cle; then,- trttmpliug down the wounded man by main force. lie drove the point through his heart. and pinned him to the floor. I It‘ll you'l heard, the steel plainly as It grated on the stone. 'I here was an awful convulsion of all the limbs. still. Then came a lull for sr-vorai mo- ments.

At first I thought some fellows had scaled the windows ; but I soon distinguished the accents of great joy. My poor Kutel She ltad roughed it in barracks too long not to know the rattle of steel scab- bards. When the dragouns came up at a hard gallop, there '35 nothing left in the court-yard but the dead and the dying. Mohun had followed the flyers to get a last stroke at the hindmost. We clambercd down iii- to the hall, and, just then we saw a miserable crippled being clinging round his knees, crying for quarter. Poor wrctcltl He might its well have asked it from a furnished tiger. â€"â€"Tlte arm that had fallen so often that night, and never in vain, came down once more; the piteous up- peal ended in a death-yell, and, as we reached him, Mohun was wiping coolly his dripping sabre ; it had no more work to do. I could not help shuddering as I saw Conncll tremble for the first time as he made the sign of the cross. The dragoons were returning from the pursuit; they had only made two prisoners; the darkness and broken ground prevented their doing more. Ralph went up to the officer in command. ‘How very good of you to come yourself, Harding, when I only ask- ed you for a troop. Come in ; you shall have some supper in half an hour. and Fritz will take care of your men. Throw all that carion out.’ he Went on, as we entered the hall, strewed with the corpses.â€" ‘ IVc’ll give them a truce to take up their dcud.’ Clontarf came to meet us ; he had only been stunned by the fall. His pale face flushed up as he said, ‘I shall never forget that I haVe to thank you for my life.’ ‘ It’s not worth mentioning,’ Mo- hun replied carelessly. ‘I hope you art; not much the worse for the tumble, God! it was a near thing. though. The quarrynmn’s arms were a rough necklace.’ At that moment they were carry- ing by the disfigured remains of the dead Collussus. His slayer stopped them, and bent over the hideous face with grim satisfaction. ‘My good friend, I)clancy,' he muttered, ‘you will own that I have kept my word.
