For some time, I was tolerably successful in my sport ; bird afterbird eprung up| from the ‘heather, only to find its way into Jny capmâ€" cious pockets ; and by twelve o‘clo¢gk I found I had secured more than Tcould well stow away. _ Cursing my want of fo thought, which had prevented me from accépting. the servicés df at least one of the dozendazy hangereâ€"on at the lodge, I determined on reâ€" tracing my footsteps, with what feclings I leave it to my brother© «port«men to decide. Fortune however, had betu-{ luck in . store for me. T had not moved ten ‘yards from the ‘sr-t awhere I had been standing, when a thin blue wreath of smoke, curling owr'l?u- shoukdâ€" er %, a mountain far away to the right, atâ€" t my attention. Certain, now, «of disâ€" covering,some house where 1 might deposit my spoil, and obtain shelter from the heat whic{:)wufi beeumil;g intense, I drey my shot belt tightly around‘me, and shoulflering my gun, pushed . briekly forwardâ€"no »Junging to the hips in the tall heather, now|threading my way through a moraseâ€"till, aftér half an hour‘s hard work, I reached a small low caâ€" bin at the top of a narrow glen, and out of the chimney of which the emuie wias pouring in considerable volumes. A BIT OF I had en long enough in Conhemara to more than half rxuspect“f had comeimnawares on â€"an illfcit Still ; indeed, the ‘day betore, I had heard there was one in fullfoperation somewhere in these mountains, «q without further ceremony than,the usual Ifish Lbeneâ€" diction of " God save all here," to which the over scrupulous add, "except the cat," _ I pushed open the door and entered the:cabin. A tall, fine looking girl, whom 1 infmediately recognised, as an old acquaintande, having" frequently seen her at the lodge,nfas seated on & low stool in the centre of the gpartment while a stout, middleâ€"aged countryrgeus, dress elâ€"in a long frieze coat and knee breeche bu&rimout shoes.and stockings, was on . lyis kriees in a corner‘blowing a way with a,)pir of old bellows at a turf %re, on which brung what appeared to my uninitiated ¢ves gh imâ€" mense pot..
