girl’ ’s efforts to detain him, They had not 
proceeded far, before they were challenged 
by the troops. of his:.own volunteer-corps ; 
from. the .commander. of. whom, Evelyn 
forthwith. solicits a horse and.attendants to 
enable. him. to overtake. Kirke; when to 
his confusion and despair, he learns. that 
Kirke -had Jeft orders to..put, him wnder 
arrest. , Resistance i is vain; but three or 
four days bring up the corps to Schomberg’s 
camp. . Schomberg, with Kirke by his side 
was reyiewing the troops; Evelyn adyances 
in front of the line, and in the presence of 
Schomberg, demands of Kirke the cause of 
his. arrest, who charges him with aiding and 
abetting rebels. He appeals to the old 
Duke, and exhibits his passes and protec- 
tions, and is immediately released. Then 
finding Schomberg disposed to befriend 
him, he demands of Kirke an account of 
Eya. Kirke haughtily refuses. Evelyn 
challenges, and Schomberg sanctions ihe 
challenge, and witnesses the conflict on the 
spot. By an accidental slip, Evelyn is 
finally worsted, and having put his cause 
upon his failing sword, is thus left without 
redress, _Eya appears lost to him for ever. 
Schomberg appoints him his aid-de-camp, 
retains him about him for the remainder of 
the « campaign, and at the end of it sends 
him with despatches to England. In Lon- 
don, or rather at Kensington, where Wil- 
liam resided, he is detained for the winter. 
e interior of the court is thrown open, 
and we have William and Maiy, and Ben- 
tinck,. and Burnett, very characteristically 
exhibited. Two or three times, in the gar- 
dens, he gets.a glimpse of a person ina 
male dress, whom he believes to be Eya, 
but in spite of his efforts, he is unable to 
oe with her. In the’spring he returns’ 
pipintere, and at Jast gets a short leave 
ence, to attend’ to his private affairs.

and _meets again with the girl, who had 
twice ‘sayed his life, and also with the

again is baffled m his attempts to speak 
her. Sarsfield receives him with kind- 
ness and testifies an interest in his distress; 
though Imowing nothing whatever of the 
fate of “McDonnel or Eva, he recollects 
there’ ‘is ‘a lady of the name at James’s 
court, and he engages to take him in the 
ning ‘to the Castle. There he is no-

Conversation with him, defending his

is thus suddenly interrupted by the® unex=

dismisses Evelyn with a pass, and ‘he*

Now comes on William’s brief campaign, / 
and we fight the battle of the Boyne bravely 
Evelyn, who in the engage" ’ 
oyer again, 
ment had acted as Aid-de-camp to Wil- 
liam, is taken prisoner; and after James's 
desertion of his cause and country, accom-" 
panies Sarsfield to Limerick, where he has 
the luck again to undergo the  harassings 
and miseries of a siege. Here too, he ac 
companies Sarsfield on the memorable ex- 
pedition, in which, with the aid of the Rap- 
parees, he succeeded in destroying Wil- 
jiam’s ammunition and baggage. The com- 
mander of these Rapparees turns out to be 
his long lost friend Me Domnel, whose kind- 
ness to him had brought suspicion upon him- 
self, and finally dismissal from the service. 
Resentment and despair drove him to head 
a band of these desperadoes... He meets 
with Evelyn, and» while® pouring’ curses

the hands of William’s general, and was. 
just going to be shot. . His friends appeal 
to Sarsfield, who generously flies to his, 
succour, solicits his pardon, and with diffi- 
culty obtains it, upon condition of. his going. 
into exile. Evelyn and Eya remain behind. 
blessed and prosperous; and in due time,
