‘| am all eare.’

Then Garnett told his story, something in the following way :

When | became convalescent, and it was time tu rejoin the regiment, | was ordered to the depot uf the ** Highland invincibles,” at Kenmare. It wae rather a jolly station, with plenty of trout-fishing,Killarney handy for pic-nies and salmon, and with MeGilli- cuddy’s Reeke,far away in the blue distance, shining like the ghausts of our old country. The frst night | messed with the fellows, of course we spoke of the attractione of the place. I learnt there was plenty of dinner- giving and dancing, and that flirtations were not sltugether unknown to the biack-eyed daughters of Erin round Kenmare. There

was # Miss Bryan, however, with whom no_

one could succeed in getting intimate. She was heiress of an old curmudgeon, wo sat in bis library and read himself blind; and being descended from Brian Boiroimhe, that blessed harper of mythical memory, was naturally a8 proud as she was exclusive. ‘The Daurrelis gave a dinner, and young Trem- lett (you remember him?) took ber in. Though not given to much bashfulness, and very well able to hold his own against any amount of badinage, he confessed he could not get oo with her. At the Mulrvoney’s dance another sub took the fair Helen in hand, but succeeded no better. At length the senior jieutenant, who commanded the depot, # man who did not condescend to attack a lady's defences unless she were very obdurate or very beautiful, was put into requisition, and ordered to the front like @ forlorn hope. I well remember his disgusted looks that night at mess, when the others rallied him on his defeat. He could not engage her in conversation, oF cven in- duce her to give him a second waltz. It was the first time, he vowed, he had ever been so thwarted, and he had had a very large experience, he flattered himself. How- ever, hie star had now visibly paled; even Tremlett proceeded to doubt his previous victories, and such skepticism was worse than the gallant lieutenant’s defeat in the present instance. Of course I laughed at them all,fand hinted that things had degene- rated very much with the regiment since I bad been away. Io old days Mies Bryan would soon have fallen before a lady-killer of the * Invineibles.” 1 was eagerly besought to risk the adventure myself, or, as they preferred putting it, to regain their lost laurels. * Come Garnett,’ was the cry, * go in and wie; with that interesting wound and moustache that have smelt powder, you must succeed!’ 1 need hardly tell you, Fitz,
