And. SO muttering to himself, the worthy gentleman spiashid forward Our present business, however, is himself. The |urting injuuetiou to make baste Iiad nut seemed to make a very deep impression on the careless ton of Erin; aud lie Irudgod cosily along, with an occasional shrewd glance at tto somewhat threatening sky, growing to himself: " Faith, an' I'll be there before bo will, nn' it doo't rain, an' mebbe I will it docs.

A little more than half-way across tho open prairie between Um railway terminus and the village was a tolcr- . ably dense grove, and it was after sunset when Patrick pluuged under its shadows. Nor had he gone fitr, before, as the gloom rapidly deepened, the premonitory flashes of lightning nnd the deep, smothered roar* of the • bunder gave token that the storm was upon him. " Now, an' I cud ownly git lo Um owld log house, it 'nd kapc me dhry lowly Motes, what a big flash was tha*!" And, so raying, Patrick broke into a t cry respectable trot, which quickly him out into a Iiufe weedgrown clearing. In the centre of this , there was a small leg house, the desert..! homestead of some discontented squatter who had moved farther westward. It consisted of tot two rooms, and back, and all vestiges of door* wiudofe shutters had long since dlaapicared; but U promised some sort of imperfect shelter from tbo rain.
