"Let Ranald MacEagh," said Mont-
rose, "select one or two of his follow-
ers, men whom he ,can 'trust, and who
are •capable of keeping their own sec-
ret and ours; these, with their chief
for scout -master general, shall serve
for our guides. Let 'them ibe at my tent
tomorrow at day'brea'k, and 'see, if pos-
sible, •that they neither 'guess my
purpose, nor hold any •communicatiou
with each other in ,private.—This old
;man, has he any children?"
"They have been killed or hanged,"
answered the Major, "to .the number
.of a round dozen, as I 'believe—but he
hath left one 'grandchild, a smart and
hopeful youth, whom I have noted to
be never without a 'pebble in his plaid -
nook, to fling at whatsoever might
come his way; 'being .a symbol, that,
like Daviel, who was accustomed to
sling smooth stones taken from the
'brook, he may afterward prove an
adventure warrior."
"That 'boy, Major Dalgetty," sand
the Marquis, "I will have to attend
•upon my own person, I presume he
will have enough sense to 'keep his
name secret?"
"Your Excellency need not fear
that," answered Dalgetty; "these
Highland innps, from the moment
they chip the shell--"
"Well," interrupted Montrose, "that
boy shall be pledge for the fidelity of
his parent, and if he prove faithful,
the •child's preferment shall the his
reward.—And now, Major Dalgetty,
7 will license your departure for •the
night; to -morrow you will introduce
this MadEagh, under any name or.
character he may please 10 assume.
1 ,presume his profession has rendered
bin sufficiently expert in all sort of
disguises; or we may admit John of
Moidart into our schemes, who has
sense, 'practica'bility, and intelligence,
and will probably allow this man for
a time to be disguised as one of his
followers. For you, Major, my groom
of 'the chambers will be your quarter-
master for this evening."
Major Dalgetty took his leave with
a joyful heart, greatly elated with the
reception he had met with, and much
pleased with the personal manners of
his mew General, which, as he explain-
ed at great length to Ranald Mac-
Eagh, reminded him in many respects
of the demeanor oftheimmortal Gus-
tavus Adolphus, the Lion of the
North.
CHAPTER XVII
By 'break of day Montrose received
-M his cabin old MacEagh, and quest-
ioned him long and :particularly as to
the means of approaching the country
of Argyle. He made a note of 'his an-
swers, which he compared with those
of his 'followers, whom he introduced
as the most 'prudent and experienced.
He found them to correspond in all
respects; but, still unsatisfied where
precaution was so necessary, the Mar-
quis compared the information he had
nreceived with that he was able to coll-
ect from the 'Chiefs who lay most near
to the destined scene of invasion, and
;being in all respects satisfied of its
,a'ccu'racy, he resolved to proceed in
'full reliance upon it.
In one point Montrose changed his
mind. Having judged it unfit to take
the 'boy Kenneth into his own service,
lest, in offence by the numerous clans
who entertained a feudal enmity to
this devoted family, he requested the
Major to take 'him in attendance upon
himself; and as' be accompanied this
request with a handsome douceur,
'under pretence of •elathimg and ,equip -
lag the lad, this change was agreeable
to all 'parties.
1't was. about 'Breakfast time, 'when
Major. Dalgetty, being dismissed by
Montrose, went in ,quest of his old
.acquaintances, Lord M'enteith and the
M`'Aulays, to whom 'he longed to
communicate his own adventures, as
'well as' to learn from 'them the partic-
ulars of the campaign. It may be im-
agined he was received with :great
glee by men to whom the late ;uni-
formity of their military life had rend-
ered any change of society an inter-
esting novelty. 'Allan M'Aulay alone

enged by his {brother,' he could render
n'o other reason than a reluctance to
be familiar 'with one who had been so
lately in the company 6( Argyle, and
other enimfes. Major Dalgetty was a
little alarmed 'by this sort of instinc-
tive .consciousness which Allan ,seem-
ed to e'n'tertain respecting the society
he had been lately keeping; he was
soon satisfied, however, that the 'p'er-
ceptions of .the seer in this 'particular
were not infallible.
As Renal(' MacEagh was to be pla-
ced under Major Dalgetty's protection
and superintendence it was necessary
he should present him to those pers-
ons with whom he was most likely ,to
associate. The dress of the • old mean
had, in the meantime, been changed
from the tartan of his elan to a sort
of clothing peculiar to the men of the
distant Isles, resennblin'g a waistcoat
with sleeves, and a ;petticoat, all made
in one :piece. This dress was laced
front 'top to 'bottom in front, and bore
some resembblence to that called Pol-
onaise, still worn by children in Scot-
land of the lower -.rank. 'Phe tartan
hose and bonnet ,completed the dress
which 'old men of the last century
remembered well to have seen worn
by 'the distant Islemen who came to
the Earl of Mar's standard in the year
1795.
Major Dalgetty, keeping his eye on
Allan as he spoke, introduced Ranald.
MacEagh under the 'fictitious name
of Ranald MacGillihuron in Benbec-
ula, who had escaped with 'hint out of
Argyle's prison He recommended him
as a person skillful in the arts of the
harper and 'the senac'hie, and by no
means contemptable in the quality of
a second -sighted person, or seer.
'W'h'ile making this exposition, Major
Dalgetty stammered and hesitated in a
way so unlike the usual glib forward-
ness of his manner, that he .could not
have failed to have given suspicion to
Allan MAulay, 'had not that person's
whole attention been engaged in
steady persuing :the features of the
person thus introduced to him. This
steady gaze 'so mnich embarrassed
Ranald MacEagh, that his hand was
beginning ,to sink down toward his
dagger, in expectation of a hostile
assault, when Allan, suddenly crossing
the floor of his 'het extended his hand
to hint in the way ,of friendly greeting.
they sat ,down side by side, and con-
versed in a low mysterious tone of
voice, Mentieth and Angus li Aulay
were not suprised at this, for there
prevailed among the Highlanders•who
pretended to the second -sight a sort
of freemasonry, which generally
induced them, upon meeting, to hold
communication with each other on the
nature and extent of their visionary
experiences,
"Does the sight come gloomy upon
your spirits?" said Allan to his new
acquaintance.
"As dark as the show upon the
moan," replied Ranald, "when - she is
darking in her midcourse in heaven,
and prophets foretell .of evil times."
"Come hither," said Allan, "come
more this way, I would converse with
you apart; for men say that in your
distant island's the sight is poured
forth with more clearness and power
than 'upon .us, who dwell near the
Sassenach,"
While they were .plunged into their
mystic 'conference, 'the two ,English
•cavaliers entered the 'cabin in the
highest possible spirits, and announ-
ced to Angus M'Aulay that orders
had been issued that all should hold
themselves in readiness for an imme-
diate march to the westward. •Raving
delivered themselves of their mew's
with much glee, they paid their
compliments to their old acquaint-
ance .Major Dalgetty, whom they
instantly recognized, and inquired
after the health of ,his changer,
Gustavus.
'humbly thank yon, gentlemen,"
answered the soldier, "Gustavus , is

what abarer on the nibs than when you

"I have," answered Allan, speak-

internal agony.
.' :And in what guise did the ;phantom
then appear to you?" said Ranald.
"With his plaid also reversed,"
answered Allan, in the same low and
convulsed tont
"Then be assured," said Ranald,
"that your own 'hand, and none other,
will do the deed of which you have
witnessed the shadow."
"So has my anions soul a„, hundred
tines surmised," replied Allati. "But
it is impossible! Were I to read the
record in the eternal book of•:fate. I
would .declare it impossible—we are
'bound •by the .ties of blood, and Iby a
hundred ties more intimate—we have
stood side :by •side in 'battle, and our
swords have reeked with the blood of
the same enennies—itis ion oss•i'ble

"Phat you will do so, answered
Ranald, "is certain, :though .the cause

his 'own emotions with difficulty,
"That side by side you :have tpursned
your prey like gb'loodhounds—have
you never seen ,bloodhounds turn
their fangs against each other, and
fight ,over the nbody of a - throttled
deer?" -
"I't is ,false!" said 'M'A'u1'ay, starting
up, ":these are not the forebodings of
fate, but the temptation of ,some evil
spirit 'from the • bottonnless phi" So
saying, he strode out of' the cabin.
"Thou hast it," said the Son of the
Mist, looking after him with an air of
exultation; "the 'barbed arrow is ' in
thy side! Spirits of the slaughtered,
rejoice! loan shall your murderers'
swords be dyed in 'each other's blood."
On the 'succeeding morning all
was prepared, and Montrose advanced
by rapid marches op ;the river Tay.
and 'poured his 'clesultory forces into
the romantic vale around the lake
