'And at any rate I 'shall ll you some amusement I' bd so it came about that that ening, after dinner, when the was circulating pretty freely and w glow was beginning to make fppearance on the Colonel's ripe ¢, young Fanshawe, to the con- tion of the mess, proceeded to ace the subject of a certain de- ; Jrish politician, fbat a scoundrel that fellow was I' jon Fanshawe, appropos to ig, and dragging the dead leader fo conversation precisely as Mr. fo hoist King Charles the {Memorin}, looked at young han expression of fad he gone out of his "wing got into his tion, however, nnnaturally great deal of unpalatable information was shot upon the Colonel; He was told that not only was Scgtch whisky fai more pleasing to the tasts than Irish, but it was 1dss injurious to the | health, and there was less of illicit dis' tillationi in Scotland than in Ireldhd. Warming apparently to his subject, and totally regardless of Old Pat's passionate and profane defense. Mac: leod went on to enunciate the view that all that was really good and great in the Irish nation was English or Scotch in origin, that the Irish colonies in BEuglish towns formed the most criminal and degraded portion of the population, and that there was actually something in the climate or the soil of Ireland which deteriorated the physical and moral character of the inhabitants. He said this with the calm utterance of a lecturer who demonstrates facts. There was even a softer undertone per- ceptible now and then, as if he pitied the advocate of so miserable a cause, The Colonel became almost in- coherent with rage. His face assumed a deep purple hue. He manifested an inclination to foam at the mouth. ¢ For proof of this, continned Mac- leod, 'it is quite enough to refer to a well-known and incontrovertible fact. | Whether "it _is due to the potattes 'soent' hus whlack roof to his mouth. You will bear me out in that, Colonel, Iam sare' The mess in vain endeavored to pre- serve a dignified demeanor. They were nearly choking with suppressed laugh- ter. Young Fanshawe contrived to upset a decanter in order to hide his emotion. Another young scapegrace was obliged to get to tho sideboard where he gurgled subterrapcously for several minutes with his back to the company. ¢It's a lie!' roared the Colonel, whose eyes were nearly starting out of his head. 'An infernal lie I' 'How?! A lie, Qolouel?! Do you mean to deny what I have stated «1 mean,' shrieked Old Pat, 'that the Powers of Ballycoran are one of the oldest families in Ireland; that they were on intimate terms with Brian Boru; and that when the blissid St. Patrick came that way, 'twas me own ancestors that gave him the Cead mille failtae to Ballycoran; and if ye can find a single black roof in the mouths of the intire family, may the divil fly off with the soul of the dirty varmin.' And with these words the Colonel struck the table a blow which made the glasses ring. «This is very interesting indeed,' re- plied Macleod, gazing at the- Colonel as if that dignitary: were the Missing Link, or a new. form of butterfly.

At last the lights came, Armed each with a candlestick, the Major, the Onptainy, and the senidr subaltern in turn examinedthe gaping brifice which the Colonel revealed to their gaze, dar: ing which inspection young Fanshawe threw himself headlong on to a sofd and kicked like a person in mortal agony ; while two other subalterns ex- pressed their feelings in a bear fight behind the Colonels unconscious head. The verdict of the judges was un- anitous. They declared that the roof of the Colonel's mouth was red, not black. ¢ Decidedly red,' said the senior Captain, with & curious chuckle that seemed fraught with a world of mean- ing. 'Not a trace of black.' «Not black ¥ erred Sir James Mac- leod, in tones of amazement. 'Are you sure ¢ Quite sure,' judicially. «Pon honor !! remarked the others in chorus: 'Well, gentjemes, you have sur- prised we,' suid Macleod, glancing from one to the other as if he could «Of course 1 replied the Major self just to convince my wn eyes.' «Look away, me boy,' chuckled the Colonel hoarsely. He was convulsed with delight at his complete triumph, ¢« Ye'll have to pay for your peep.' Well, then, please open your mouth alittle wider, Colonel, and will one of you hold tho light? Really, Colonel, you must excuse me, but 1 can't see. You must really let me open your mouth a little wider. With these words he actually laid one sacrilegious hand on the Colonel's nose und the other on the Colonels chin, and pressed them gently in op posite directions. There was not a man among all the reckless crow who stood around but held his breath for the moment in anticipation of a terrible explosion. The Colonel did not raise and an- nihilate the audacious Scotchman. He bore this insult like a lamb. The indignity, was, however, of the very shortest duration, for Macleod was satisfied with the briefest glance. +I have lost,' he said quite cheer- fully, 'and I owe you an ample apology, Colonel. Luckily I have the notes about me.' He produced his pocketbook, ex- tracted two £50 pound notes from it, and handed them to the Colonel. The latter wk them with the most portentous gravity. He was clearly 'and uneertain as to the right ion, +H puckered. p his a foW 'ddys lated, " tid schéol Capt.
