If not him then his son In ttie meantime Orry had uelwited his ship and nought reTuse tn th Itle of Man He was sheltered hv the governor c f the -island Adam Fairhrother Orry went from bad to worse and jnarred a dissolute ywomao and thpircUd caMed Michael Bunlock3 was bbrn1 The woman died and Orry gave Sunlocks to Adam Fairhrother who adopted him and he became the playmate of the governors daughter Greeba Time passed and Adam Fair- brother and -wife becarrie estranged their v -five boys staying with theirmother on account of Michael Sunlocks Finally te pheaOrry returned and Michael Sunlocks determined to go to Iceland his fathers home CHAPTER VIII THE GOING OF SUNLOCKS I It was then past noon The Irish brie was in the harbor taking in Manx cloth and potatoes a few cattle and a drove of sheep At the flow of the tide It was to go out into the bay and anchor there waiting- for the mails and at 9 oclock it was to sail In the meantime Michael was to arrange for his passage and at half past eight he was to meet his father on the quay But he- had also to fee Greeba and that was not easy to do- The family at Lague had heard the great news of his going- and had secretly rejoiced at it but they refused to see him there even for the- shortest at the long est parting And at the bare mention of the bargain that Greeba had made with him to bid him farewell on the eve- of his departure all the Fair brothers were up in arms So he had been sorely put to it to devise a means of meeting Greeba if he could do so without drawing suspicion down on her for come what might of risk or danger to himself he meant to see her again before ever he set foot on the ship The expedient he could not hit on did not long elude a womans wit and Greeba found the way by whioh they were to meet A few of last years heifers were grazing on Barrule and at nightfall comebody went up for them and brought the mheom She would go that night and return by the glen so that at the bridge by the turn of the river and the low road to Hague where it was quiet enough sometimes she could meet anybody about dusk and nobody be the wiser She contrived a way to tell Michael of this and he was prompt to her appointment The day had been fair but close with a sky that hung low and with not a breath of wind and in the evening- when the mist came down from the mountain a fog came up from the sea so that the air was empty and every noise went through it as if it had been a speaking trumpet Standing alone on the bridge under the quiet elms Mi chael could hear the rattle of chains and the whistling of horns and by that he knew that the brig had dropped anchor in the bay But he strained his cars for other sounds and they came at last the thud of the many feet of the heifers the flapping of their tails the cattle call in the girls clear voice and the swish of a twig that she car Tied in Tier hand Greeba came along behind the cattle swinging her body to a jaunty gait her whole person radiant with health and happiness her long gown close at the hack and loose over her bosom show ing well her tall lithe form and firm bearing1 She wore no bonnet but a white silk handkerchief was tied about her head half covering her mouth and leaving- visible in the twilight only the tip of her ncse a curl of her hair and her bright dark eyes with their long bright lashes She was singing to herself as she came up to the bridge with an unconcerned and unconscious air -At sight of Michael she made a start and a little nervous cry so that he thought poor lad not knowing the ways of women that for all the pains Bhehad been at to fetch him she had somehow not expected him to be there She looked him over from head tc foot and her eyes gleamed from the white kerchief So you are going after all she eald and her voice seemed to him the sweetest music he had ever heard I never believed you would she added t Why not he asked Oh I dont know she said and laughed a little But I suppose there are girls enough in Iceland and then she laughed outright Only they cant he of much account up there But Ive heard they are very fine girls he answered and its a fine country too She tossed her head and laughed and swung her switch Fine country The idea Fine com pany fine people and a good time Thats what a girl wants if shes worth anything Then I suppose you will go back to Jxmdon some day he said That doesnt follow she answered Theres father you see and oh what a pity he cant live at Lague I Do you like it so much he said like It she said her eyes full of laughter Six big hungry brothers coming home three times a day and eating- up everything in the house its delightful She seemed to him magnificently fceautifuL i dare say theyll spoil you before I come1 back he said or somebody else will She gave him a deliberate glance from her dark eys and then threw bacK her hpad and iusncd He could see the heaving of her breast She aughed again a fresh merry laugh and then he tried to laugh too think ing of the foolish thing he had said But if there are plenty of girls up there she raid slyly glancing under her long lashes and theyre so very wonderful maybe youll be getting married before you come home again Maybe so he said quietly and look ed vacantly aside There was a short pause Then a sharp snap or two broke the silence and recalled him to the maiden by his side She was only hreaking up the twig she had carried There was another pause in which he could hear the rippling of the river and the leaping of a flash The heifers were munching the grass by the road side a little ahead I must go now she said coldly or theyll be out seeking me Ill walk with you as far as Lague its dark he said No no you must not she cried and fumbling the loose fold about her throat she turned to go -- But he laid hold of her arm - Why not he asked Only think of my brothers Tour very life would be in danger If all six of them were ranged across the other end of this bridge and you had to walk the rest of the road alone I would go through them he said She saw the high lift of his neck and she smiled proudly Then they walked on some distance He was gazing at her in silence There was a conscious delight of her beauty in the swing of her step and the untamed glance of her eyes Since the country is so fine I sup pose youll stay a long while there she said in her sweetest tone No longer than I must he an swered I dont know But why not she said again look ing at him sideways with a gleam of a smile He did not answer and she laughed merrily I What a girl you are for laughing he said It may be very laughable to you that Im going away But isnt it to you Eh she said as fast as a flash of quicksilver He had no answer so he tried to laugh also and to take her hand at the same time She was too quick for him and swung half a pace aside They were then at the gate of Lague where long years- before Stephen Orry first saw the light through the elms A late rook was still cawing overhead the heifers had gone on towards the court yard You must go now so good bye she said softly Greeba he said Well Only speak lower she whis pered coming closer He could feel the warm glow of her body Do lou think now if 1 should be a long time away years it may be per- j nap3 ma ny years we should ever for get each other we two Forget No not to say forget you know she answered f But should we remember Remember You silly silly boy if we should not forget how ever could we fail to remember Dont laugh at me Greeba and promise me one thing and then he whispered In her ear She started away and laughed once more and started to run down the path but In three strides he had her again That wll not do for me Greeba he said breathing fast Promise me that you will wait for me Well she said softly her dark eyes full cf merriment Ill promise that while you are away no one else shall spoil me There Good bye She was tearing her self out of his hands First give me a token he said Daffodils lined the path though in the dusk he could not see them But she knew they were there and stooped and plucked two blew upon both gave one to him and put the other into the folds at her bosom Good bye Good bye she said in an under brealh Good bye he answered She ran a few steps but he could not let her go yet and irl an instant he sprang abreast of her He threw one arm about her waist and the other about her neck tipped up her chin and kissed her on the lips A gurgling laugh came up to him Remember he whispered over the upturned face in the white kerchief At the next Instant he was gone Then standing under the dark elms alone she heard the porch door open ing hfcavy foot treading on the gravel and a deep voice saying Here are the heifers h6me but Wheres the little lass It was her eldest brother Asher and she walked up to him and said quite calmly Oh what a bad hasp that gate has It takes such a time to open and close Michael Sunlocks reached the harbor at the time appointed As he -crossed A the quay some fishermen were loung ing there with pipes between theh teeth A few of them came up to him to bid him Godspeed In -their queei way Stephen Orry was standing apart b the head of the harbor steps and a the bottom of them his boat a yawl was lying moored They got into it anc Stephen sculled out in the harbor It was still very thick over the town bu they could see the lights of the Iris brig in the bay Outside the pier th air was fresher and there was some thing of a swell on the water The fog is liftingsaid Stephen Or ry Therell be a taste vos a brees before long Hp smed as if he had somethibpu t say but did not know how to begiv Kis eye caught the lights on Point oi Ayfe - When are they to build vthe light house he asked - y After ttie spring tides- said chael - They were about midway between f pier and the brig when Stephen Vcste his scull under hi arm and drew some thing from one of his pockets This is the money he said an he held out a bag -towards Michae Sunlocks No said Michael andhe drew quickly back v There was a moments silence and then MJ chael added more softly I that I have enough already Mr Fairhrother gave me some It was fifty pounds - Stephen Orry turned his head -aside and looked over the dark water Then ihe said J suppose that was so that you wouldnt need to touch money same as Imirie Michaels heart smote him Father he aid low much 3s it VA matter of two hundred pounds said Stephen - How long has it taken you to earr to get it itT n i r n iixiurieeii yeara t And youve been saving it for me Ay To take me to Iceland J A v V I How much more have you Not a great deal v v T But how much l I dont know scarcely - Have you any more Stephen made no answer Have you any more father No Michael Sunlocks felt his face flush deep in the darkness Father he said and his voice broke we are parting you and I and we may not meet again soon indeed we may never meet again I have made you a solemn promise Will you not make me one What is It sir That you will never never try to get more by the same means Therell be no occasion now But will you promise me Ay Then give me the money Stephen handed the bag to Michael Its fourteen years of your life is it not Soi to say - And now its mine isnt it to do as I like with it No sir but to do as you ought with it Then I ought to give it back to you Come take it But wait Remember your promise father Dont forget Ive bought every hour of your life thats left Father and son parted at the ships side in silence with throats too full for speech Many small boats pulled by men and boys were lying about the ladder and -there was a good deal of shouting and swearing and noisy laugh ter there Some of the boatmen recog nized Michael Sunlocks and bellowed their farewells to him Dy banne Jee oo God bless you God bless you thej said and then among themselves they seemed to discuss the reason of his going Well whats it saying said one the crab that lies always in its hole is never fat The air had freshened the swell of the nea had risen and a sharp breeze was coming up from the east Stephen Orry stepped to his mast hoisted main sail and mizzen and stood out to sea He had scarcely got clear away when he heard the brig weight its anchor and heat down behind him They were making towards the Point of Ayre and - when they came by the light Stephen Orry slackened off and watched the ship go by him in the darkness He felt as if that were the last he was ever to see of his son in t his world And he loved him with all the strength of his great broken bleeding heart At that thought the outcast man laid his head in his hands where he sat crouching at the tiller and sobbed There were none to hear him there he was alone and the low moan of the sea came up through the night from where his son was sailing away To be continued The bell that hung In the Alamo at the time of the capture and massacre of its garrison was discovered at a sale of old Iron In San Antonio recently Miss Adlna
