Colonel Murray was one of the first persons whom ho met, and ho Instantly Inquired where Ilryan where Ilryan had left hi shadow. Obtaining n promise of aecrecy, M'Allatcr acquainted him with the fact, At which the colonel expressed no small annoyance, hinting that he questioned how far they wero juatlllod In permitting him to depart, "Ho you doubt hi fidelity?" naked ilryan "Why, I cannot if I would; but the mutter burnt) of a perplexing character Ho many deaertlon take place, that, in fact, wo cannot hope lo conceal any thing; but I felt a aort of regard for that fellow, which render the posslbll ity of hi treachery qulto painful, " A they approached the wulla, Alder man Crowo entiio biiatilng up, and ae coated Hryan, "Ho, Mr. M'AUtor, your trusty follower ha turned traitor, and deserted to thu enemy' "Indeed!" aald tho Colonel, "how I that?" giving Hryan aalgn to be allent, "Why, I'll tell you now, since It' all out.
