Laugan, the smith, volinteered to go to Aros Castle to ask tor the loan of one. He was told he would be killed, but went and found a man engaged there im boiling. The Caldron was a good They had better luck further on, getting a number of cattle, and as they returned with these they passed by the Castle ot Aros, in the Sound of iMulI. The MacLean who owned this castle wished to attack them, but thought it would be easier to do so if be could make them drunk first, and he bad taken care to place a great bogshead o: wine at a place he knew they would pass. _ One of his men reâ€" mained in hiding when his compan ions returned to the castle, for he wishâ€" ed to see what Murdoch would do ; and he saw Murdoch halt his men, and point to the bhogshead and say he knew well it had been placed there to make them drunk ; but Aros would see that the sat is not more knowing than the dog, and that they would drink of it only with mcderation. Saying this he took off one shoe and drank from the wine he let flow into it, giving a drink of the same quantity to all with him, and then rolled the hogshead down hill into a burn, where it was smashed | The heir of Duart confessed that mercy was being shown him in that he was not at once killed. ‘I will not kill you,‘ said Murdoch. ‘Arise and I will send you home on your own feet!‘ And he rose and subscribed a bond that he would no more molest Loch Buie, and departed home. _ His father on hearing what had happened, reâ€" marked that the MacLaines of Loch Buie were not so bad as were the Macâ€" Laines of Duart! _ Meanwhile Mar. doch had searched the castle, and‘ found that provisions would be searce were he obliged to stand a siege ; and, not liking to be badly victualled when he did not know how old Duart would ; 'regard his son‘s promise, he told his| Irishmen there was no time to be lost, and they must go and ‘lift a cattle . spoil.‘ And half h‘s men were left on | guard, and he took the others to get! the necessary food by spoiling his neighbors in the lower part of the Isâ€"| land. So they marched away, and‘ when they were passing a place callea Koghail, in Glenforsa, they found a‘ woman whose sole possession was a bald dun cow. Murc{):ch told her that | it she would now give up her beast to| thein she should receive hereafter a‘ cow for every quarter of the dun cow and she at once said that if it was to please Murdoch she would give her cow were she never to get her or any beast in future ; so they killeA and ate pars of the meat, leaying the ress with the old woman. 1 Overcome by her prayers, the man went grumbling to get other two to take down the heavy bar. The gates were opened and let out the dairy woman and let in the Irish, who at once killsd the door keeper and the two they found with him. _ Then they advanced tu the stair, which was so narrow that two could not go abreast on it, _ The garrison, alarmed by the noise, were descending the stair, but the foremest had been in too great a hurry to arm themselves, and in the darkness could not see below them, and many perished on the weapons of Murdoch and his men, who pressed past the bodies as they fell,. pursuing those who fled back up the stairway ; and they were not long in finding and killing or subduing the garrison. l Duart‘s son was asleep in bed when Murdoch entered his chamber. and he had not time to sit up before Murdoch{ thrust his dirk into the pillow on which be bad been lying, and Murdoch's} voice said to him, ‘Is this how you would treat me were I in your place? ; The guard was, however, not disâ€" posed to let her out, but she went to the doorkeeper and declared she woulp not have a drop of milk to give to Duart in the morning unless she went at once. _ Still this plea did not avail her. The man refused to unbar the door, and she persisted and asked him to tell her what she should say to. Duart when the cows sbould be found all sucked dry, and no milk in thel morning. ‘There are the cows and calves got together. I must go and part them.‘ There seemed at nightfall to be nothing to interfere with their pran, and they crept down to the cow fo:d, separated the cows from their young, and placed them as agreed upon. Seon as they began to low the dairy woman within the castle said loudly : Murdoch now returned to his men and told them thas his own fosterâ€" mother was in the plot with him to take the castle, for she was no other than the keeper of the cows.
