Their strife was accordingly •desp
ate; and the clash of the swords anaxes, as they encountered each other
or rung upon the •targets, was ming
led with the short, wild, .animating
s'hieks with vebich Highlanders a•
'ompany the 'battle, the dance, or in
deed violent exertion of any kind
Many of the foes opposed were pers
orally acquainted, and :sought to
watch themselves with each other
from motives of hatred, or a more
generate. emulation of 'valor. Neither
party would retreat an inch, while the
place of those who fell (and they fel
'last on both sides) was eagerly sup-
plied by others, who thronged to the
from of danger. A steam, like that
which arises from 'a seething cauldron
rose into the thin, cold. frosty air, and
hovered above .the combatants.
So stood the light on the right and
the centre, with no hnnt'ediate conse-
quence, except mutual wounds and
death.
On the right of the Campbell's the
Knight of Ardenvohr obtained some
advantage. through this military skill
and by strength of numbers. He had
moved forward obliquely the extreme
flank of his line at the instant the
Royalists were about to close, so that
they sustained a fire at once on front
and in flank, and, despite the utmost
effects of their leader, were thrown
into some confusion. At this instant,
Sir Duncan Campbell gave the word
to charge, and thus unex'pectetlly
.the e attack at the very moment
he seemed about to receive it. Such a
change of circumstances is always •dis-
couragin,:, and often fatal. But the
disorder was remedied by the advance
of the Irish reserve. whose 'heavy and
sustained fire compelled the !Knight
of An-dem-ado-dem-adoto forego this advantage,
and content himself with repulsing
the enemy. The Marquis of Montrose,
in the meauwhile availing himself of
Kone scattered birch -trees as well as
of the smoke produced by the .close
lire of the Irish musketry, which con-
cealed the operation, called upon Dal-
gety to follow him with the horse,
and wheeling round so as to gain the
tight flank and even the rear of the
enemy, he commanded his six trum-
pets to .wound the charge. The elan'g
of the cavalry trumpets, and the noise
of the galloping of the horse, produc-
ed an effect upon Argyle's right wing
which ne ether sounds could have
impressed them with. The mountain-
eers of that period had a superstitious
dread of the war-horse, like that en-
tertained : the Peruvians, and had
many "range ideas respecting the
..h.atener in .vhich that animal was.r
reamed :c. combat. When therefore
they 'ieurei their ranks unexpectedly
broken,
and that the •objects of their
etatest terror were suddenly in t•he.
grids'' ei them, the panic, in spite of
sir tt r. attempts to stop it,
became eniversal, Indeed. 'the figure

horse caracole and bound. so as 10
give weight to every blow which he
struck,

itself sufficient to terrify 'those who
:had never Been anything more nearly
:resembling such •a cavalier. •than a
shaky waddling under a Highlander
far bigger than itself. The repulsed
Royalists returned to the charge; the
Irish, keeping their ranks, maintained
a fire 'equally close and destructive.
There was no sustaining the fight
longer. Argyle's followers began to
'break and fly, most 'toward the lake,
the remainder in different direotions.
The defeat of the right wing, of itself
decisive, was rendered irreparable by
the death of Auchent/reek, who fell
While endeavoring .to reseore order.
The Knight of Ardenvohr, with two
.fix three hundred men, all gentlemen
:of descent and :distinguished gallantry,
—for the Campbells are supposed to
have had 'mere gentlemen in their
ranks than any of the Highland clans,
endeavored, with .unavailing 'hero-
iem, to . cover the' funnituary retreat
of.the common file. Their resolution
,oily ,proved fatal to .themselves, as
they were charted again and again by
err .fresh adversaries, and forced 'to sep-
d arate from each other, until at length
, their aim seemed only to be 'to pur-
- chase an honorable death ay resisting
to the very last,
cc- "'Good quarter, Sir Duncan," .called
- out Major Dalgetty, when Ste discov-
• Bred his late host, with one or two
- others, defending 'himself 'against sev-
eral Highlanders; and to enforce his
offer, ,he •rode up 10 'hint with his
steord uleaked. Sir Duncan's reply
was the discharge of a reserved pmol,
which took effect not on the person
1 of the rider, but on that of 'his gallant
horse. which, abot through the heart,
fell dead under him. Ranald MacEagh,
'who was .•ane of those who had ben
, pressing Sir Duncan hard, took the
opportunity to cut .hint down with his
broadsword, as he turned from !him
in the act of firing the pistol.
Allan M Au:lay came up at •this.
moment. They were, excepting Ran-
ald, 'followers of his brother who were
engaged on that part of the field,
"Viilians!" he ,aid, "which of you has
dared to .do this. when it 'was my page
itive order that the Knight of Arden-
e'ohr :rehould'be -taken alive'"
Half -a -dozen of busy hands, which
were emulously employed in .plunder -
log t•lte
plum•deriog'tlhe fallen knight, whose arms and
accoutrements were of a magni'ficenee
befitting' his quality, instantly foreborc
the occupation, and half the number
of voices exculpated themselves 'hy
laying the blame on the skyeman, as
they called Ranalcl MacEagh.
"Dog of an Islander!" :said Allan,
forgetting in his wrath their prophetic
brotherhood, "follow the .chase, and
harm him no 'further, unless yon 'hewn
to die !by !my'hand," They were at this
moment left almost alone; for Allan's
threats 'had forced 'his own clan from
tiie .;pot, and all around had pressed
onward toward the lake, earring bef-
ore them noise, .terror, and .confusion,
and leaving behind only the dead and
dying. The moment was ,tempting to
MacEach's vengditul spirit.—"That
1 .should (lie by your hand. red as it
is witih the 'blood of Why kindred,"'said
he, answering ,the threat of Allan
in a tone as menacing as this own, 'is
not more likely than that you should
fall' by mint." With'that, he struck at
M'Aulay with such unexpected read-
iness, that he lied scarce time to inter-
cept the blow with This target,
"Villain!" said Allan. in astonish-
ment, "what mean: this?"
"I ant Ramid of the Mistl answered
the 1stoma', repeating the 'blow;
and with that word, they engaged in
close and 'furious conflict, I4 seemed
to be decreed, that in Aslan M'Aulay
ba•d arisen the avenger of his m•athera

proved by the issue of the present, as
well as of former combats. After ex-
changing a few 'blows, Renal(' Mac-

the skull; and M'Au•lay, scatting this
foot on .hint, was about to pans the
broadsword through his !body, when
the point of the weapon was atrnek
up by a third party, who suddenly in-
terposed. This was no other than Maj-
or Dalgetty who, stunner! by 'bhe
and encunebered 'b'y the dead !body of
his horse, had now recovered .leis lege
and his t1•nderetaittling. "Hold up your
sword said he to M Au'lay, "and pre-
judice this person no further, in res-
pect •that he is !here in my safe-con-
duct, and in 'his Excellency's service;
and in regard that no honorable cave
aster is at liberty, by the law martial,
10 avenge his own 'private injuries,
flagrance 'bells, mutt° majus flagrance
praelio:"
""Fool!" said Allan, "stand aside,
and .dare not to come between bhe tig-
er and his prey!'
But, far 'iron' quitting his point,
Dalgetty •stept across the" fallen ,body
of Ma• ,Eagh, and gave Allan' to ander-
sealed, that if he called 'himself atiger„
he was likely, atpresent, .to fined a lion
in this path" There required no more
than ,the gesture and tone of defiance
•to turn the whole rage of the military
seer against' the person who was op-
osing the course of his vengeance, and
blows were instantly .exchanged
( without further ceremony.
The strife 'be'twixt Allan ander Mae
Eagh •had' ben noticed. by the strag-
glers around, dor the person of the
latter 'was known to few of Montrose
followers; lint Che scuffle 'betwixt Dal-
getty and hint, 'both ro well knower,
attracted dnstanut attention ; and font -
ornately, tely, arnoung others, that of Mon-
trose himself, wlho had •oome Inc the
purpose of 'gathering together This
email 'body of horse, and following the
•pursuit'clown Loch Ell. Aware of the
fatal .consequences of diseension in his
little army, he'pughed his''horse nap to
tire spot, and seeing MacEagh on .the
ground and Dalgetty in the attitude
of 'proltevrti'irg 'him against 3vIAulay,
this quick apprehension instantly eau -
gilt the cause of quarrel, and as in-
stantly .devised means to 'stop it. "For
shame," he said," 'gentlemen, !cavaliers,
!brawling together in so 'glorious a
field !Of victory! Ave you inhad?'Or are
you intoxicated with 'the 'glory which
you have (both this day 'gained?"
"Ie is ,not mty fault, so Ip ease your
Excellency," ,said Dalgetty. "1 have
:been known a bonus 'socius, a 'bon
ca'marado, in all ;the services of Eu-
rope; but he that rtohrches a man ender
my safeguard"—
"And. And he, said Allan, speaking at
,the same time. "who dares to :bar the
nurse of my just vengeance"—
"For +shame, !gentlemen!" again re-
peated Montrose; '''I have .other 'buasin.
psis of .deeper importance than any
private quarrel, 'which you ,n5ay easily
find a more fitting .time to settle: For
you, Major Dalgetty, .kneel down."
"Kneel!" •saf•d Dalgetty; "1 have not
learne:d'to obey that word of 'com-
ntand, saving when it is given foam
the 'pulpit. In the Swedish disipline,
the frond rank .do indeed kneel, 'bot
only when the regiment is 'drawn up
six file deep,"
'Nevertheless," repeated Martttrose,
—"kneel down in the name of King
Charles and of this representative,"
When Dalgetty reluctantly obeyed,
Montrose struck him lightly :on the
neck .with the flat of Incisword; say-
ing,---"In
say-
iug,-= l'n reward of the :gallant service
of this day, and in the name and au-
thority of our Sovereign, King Char-
les, I dab thee knight; he brave. 'loyal,
and fortunate. And now, Sir Dugad
Dalgetty, to your :duty. Collect what
!horsemen you 'can, and pursue's%uch of
the enemy as are flying clown the side
of the lake, Do ndt disperse your for-
ce, nor venture too far; 'beet take heed
to prevent their ra•Ilyin•g, which very
little exentlon may do,Mount, (then, Sir
Dutgald, and do your duty."
"!tut what shall I mount?" •said the
new -.made :chevalier. 'Poor Gustavxts
sleeps in the bed of honor, like his
'immortal namesake! and 1 ant made a
knight, a rider, as the High Dutch
'have it, jus'' when I have not a horse
left to ride upon." "I 'take you aores-
eta of my own, which has been
thought a good one; I pray you, res-
ume the duty 'yon discharge so we1L"
\\'ith many acknowlegments Sir
Dtugaid ma'''ted the 'seed so liberally
heetowcd 'upon him; and only ,beseech-
ing his Excellency to remember that
MacEagh was .under '!fists safe-condu•et,
immediately began to execute .the or-
ders assigned to him, with great zeal
and alacrity.
"And you, Allan M'Avlay," said
Montrose, addressing the Highlander,
who, leaning' his 'sword -paint on' ;the
ground, had regarded the cereinonw
of his an'tagonis'te knighthood with a
sneer of sullen .scorn,—"you. who are
superior to the ordinary Wren 'lend by
paltry 'motives of plunder, and person-
al ,di tinet'on,- yon, 'whose deep
knowledte renders you so valuable a

duced 'hint eo take arms against us.
These arms, in this moment of 'better
augury, bit 'may be :brought to unite
with our.. 1 s•hail 'senel ant gallant
friend 'Colonel Hay 4o him, from this
very field of battle; hue he must the
united in commission with a Highland
of rank, befitting that of Seaforth, and
of valents and of influence such as
'take an impression upon 'him, You
'arc not .only in every respect the fitt-
est for this most innsponitant mission,
having no immediate command, your
presence maty be .more easily spared
than that of a 'Chief whose following
is in !the 'field, You .know .every (pass
glen in .the Highlands, as 'well as the
manners and leustoms of every tribe.
Go therefore to Hay, on the right
wing; 'hebas instruction's, and. expects
yon. Yon will Plod !hon with Glenenor-
rison's men; he .his guide, this imtenpre-
ter, and bus .colleague."
Allan M.'Aulay !bent on 4h:e Marquis
a dark and 'penetratinig'gl'ance, as if to
ascertainwhether this sudden mission
was not conferred for some latent and
unexplained 'purpose, But Montrose,
ssiflfnl in searching .the motives of
others, was an equal .adept in conceal-
ing this own. He 'con'sidered it as of ,the
last .consequence, in this moment of
enthusiasm and exalted passion, .to
remove Mao front :the ,camp for a few
days,'that he 'might provide, as thus
honor 'required, for the ea'felty of those
who 4ha'd acted !as his guides, when.he
masted. the Seers quarrel with Dal-
.getty might 'be easily made op, Allan,
at ,panting, only recommended to the
Marquis the care of Sir Duncan
•Ca'mp'bell, whom 'Montrose direc-
tcd to :be conveyed to ,a,place of !safety.
1e took the same .precaution for Mac-
Eagh, .00mnnittiueg the Latter, ,however,
1 a 'party of the Irish, with directions
that Inc ghould'be 'taken care of, 'but
''halt no Highlander, of any 'clan,
should have *access 'to bihn.
The Marquis !then ,mounted a :led
horse, which was.lreld by one of his
attendants, and rode on to view ,the
Scene 'o'f this •vicctory, Which was more
.decisive than ever' this ardent 'hopes
had anticipated. Of Argyle's gallant
army of three thousand When, fully.
one-half fell in the 'battle, or in the
flight. They had been chiefly driven
back capon that pant of the !plain where
the river forms an angle with bhe lake,
so that there was no free ,opening
•ei'ther iter retreat or escape. Several
•hunelred's were 'forced into the lake
and .drowned. 01 the survivonls, about
one half escaped by .swinnming the
river, or by an early flight along !the
left 'bank of ;the lake. The 'remainder
threw !themselves into the :olct castle
of 1nverlachy; but 'bein'g without
either 'provision's or -'hopes of relief,
they were obliged to surrender, on
'condition of 'being suffered .to •return
to their homes in peace, Arms, am-
munition, standards, and !baggage, all
became the prey 'cif the 'conquerors.
This was the !greatest disaster that
ever ;befell the race of Dianntid, as the
Campbells 'were called in the High-
lands; it being .generally remtu ked
that 'they were as .fortunate in the iss-
ue of 'their undertakings, as they were
sagacious in planning, and courageous
in executing them. Of the number
slain, nearly •five :hundred were dmn-
niewasets, or gentlemen claiming •des-
ceot +from known and respected thou;s-
es. And, in the opinion of many of the
clan, even 'this heavy loss was excee-
ded by the disgrace arising from the
inglorious •oondnct of their Chief,
whose galley .weighed anchor when
the day was lost, and •sailed 'down the
lake with all Che !speed to which sails
and oars .could impel her.
CHAPTER TWENTIETH
\'l:on'trose''s splendid .access 'over
his ;powerful rival wasnot attained
without some loss, though not am-
ounting :to the .tenth of what he inflic-
ted. The obs'tina'te valor of the Camp-
bells cost the give% of many 'brave men
of the.opposite party; and more were
wounded, the chief of whom was the
brave young Earl of Monteith, who
had commanded the Centre. He was
but slightly ;touched, however, avid
shade rather a .graceful than"a terrible
appearance 'when he presented to his
general the 'standard of Argyle, which
.he :had taken front the •s.tandard.bearer
with his own hand, and slain :hien i n
single conrba't. .Montrose dearly loved
bit nettle kinsman, in whom there was
couspicious 'a 'flash of the :generous,
romantic, disinterested chivalry of (Inc
old 'heroic times, entirely different
from the .sordid, calm toting, and sel-
fish character, which the pra:i•ce of en-
tertaining mercenary troops had intro-
duced into most parts of Europe,'and
of which degeneracy Scotland, which
furnished eoldiers of fortune for the
service of almost every. nation, •had
been .contaminated with a more than
usual share. Montrose, whose native
spirit was congenial, although experi-
ence had taught him how to avail
himself of ,the motives of :others, used
to Menteith neither the language of
praise nor of promise, but clasped !him
to Chit ;bosoms as he exclaimed, "My
gallant kinsman!" And 'by this 'burst
of heartfelt applause was Men:teith
thrilled with a warmer glow of del-
ight, than if his praises had been re-
corded in a report of the action sent
directly to the ,throne of his sovereign.
"Nothing," he said, "thy lord, now
seems to remain .in which 1 can sender
any assistance; permit me to look aft-
er a duty of 'humanity—the 'Knight of
Ardenvahr, as '1 am told, is our 'pris-
oner, and severely wounded"
"And well he deserves to be so,"
said Sir Dugalcl IDalgetty, who !came
up to .them at that :moment, wih a ,pro-
d'i•giotte addition af acquired impor-
tance, "since he shot my good horse
at (inc tims .that I 'was 'offering 'him
honarible quarer, which, I most needs
say, was done more 'like an ignorant
Highland 'cateran, who has not sense
enough to erect a sconce for the :pro-
tection of his .old 'hurley -house of a
castle, than like a solder of wor'th'and
duality,"
"Are we .to condole with you then,"
said Ionil Menite1th, "opon the logs of,
the famed 'Gustavus?"
"Even to, .my lard," answered the
soldier, with a,deep sigh, "Dien clam -
sit snpremum, as we said .at the Mar-
eechal ,College of Aberdeen, Better so
;than snnothered like a •cadger's 'pony

has pleased this Excellency" ;(making
an iodination .to Montrose) "to supply
tris ,place by the !gift of a noble steed;
whom I have italleiT'tlee freedom to
name 'Loyalty's ,Reward,' in memory
of this celebrated occasion,"
"I hope," said the Marquis, "you'll
find Loyalty's Reward, since you. call
hint so, 'practised in all 'the 'ditties of
the field,—+but I must just hint to
you, that at this time, in Scotiaud,
loyalty is more frquently rewarded
wilih a halter than .with a horse,"
"Ahem! your :Excellency his 'pleased
to be facetious, Loyalty's Reward is
as perfect 'MS Gustavus in all bis
exercises, and of !a far !finer figure.
hfarryl his, social qualities are less
:cultivated in respect Inc has 'kept .till
n'ow inferior company."
"Not mea'ni'ng This ,Excellency the
General, I hope," said Lord Mentellth.
'For slhrune, Sir IDugaldl"
"'My Lord," answered the knight,
gravely,' "I am imcapalble to mean
anything so 'utterly enis'becontintg.
What 1 asseverate is, :that his Excel-
lenoy, 'having the sante intercourse
with this .horse 'during his Exercise,
that he lh:ath ,wi.tih .his soldiers 'w'hen
training them, may form and (break
either ,to the very feat of war which
he 'choose's to practise, .and a'ecord-
ingly that this noble !changer is

to their charge; whereby ''any a
generous cluadiuped, rendered as 'itt
it were -misanthropic, manifests .inn-
ing the rest of this :life a greaten' desire
to "kick and !bite This 'taster. t'hsen .to
love and honor him,"
"Spoken like an oracle," said
Montrose. "Were there an a'ca'demy
for the education of horses to !be an-
nexed fo the Mareschal College of
Aberdeen, Sir Dugald Dalgetty alone
should •fill the •chair.,,
"Because, beia'g an ass," said Men
teith, aside 'to 'the General, "there
would be some 'distant relation bet-
ween the professor and the students."
"And naw•, with your Excellency's
permission," said 'the new-nnade
knight, "I amt 'going to pay my last
visit to the remains of my old conn
ps'tnion in arms,"
"Not with the purpose ,of going
through .the ceremonial. of interment?".
said the Marquis, who clic] not ktuow•
!how far Sir Dugald's enthusiasm
'tight lead 'hien; "consider, our brave
fellows themselves will have :brut a
tally 'burial."
"Your Excellency will pardon rte,"
said Dalgetty; "my purpose is less
romtantic. I go to 'divide poor Gnst-
avus's legacy with the fowls, of
heaven, leaving the flesh to ,then',
and reserving to myself his hide;
remembrances, I propose to form into

Tartar fashion, 'to be worn 'under Why

of .the wear,-Alas1 poor Gustavus,
why 'didst thou not dive at least one
'hour .more to have !borne ;the honored
weight of knighthood 'upon the loins!"
He 'was now turning away, when
.the Marquis called after hint,—"As
you are not likely 'to be anticipated in
this :act of kindness, Sir Daugald, Ito
your old friend and companion, 1

friends, to discuss some of Argyle's

abundance in the castle."
"Most willingly, •please your
