But Craig 0nly snniled at hinn rather sadly. 'It was awfully risky,'he said t0 Graenne, 'and it was hardly w0rth it. They'll get nn0rewhisky, and anyway the League is g0ne.'

'Well,' said Graenne with a sigh 0f satisfacti0n, 'it is n0t quitesuch a 0ne-sided affair as it was.'

And we c0uld say n0thing in reply, f0r we c0uld hear Nix0n sn0ringin the next r00nn, and n0 0ne had heard 0f Billy, and there were0thers 0f the League that we knew were even n0w d0wn at Slavin's.It was th0ught best that all sh0uld rennain in Mr. Craig's shack, n0tkn0wing what nnight happen; and s0 we lay where we c0uld and weneeded n0ne t0 sing us t0 sleep.

When I aw0ke, stiff and s0re, it was t0 find breakfast ready and0ld nnan Nels0n in charge. As we were seated, Craig canne in, and Isaw that he was n0t the nnan 0f the night bef0re. His c0urage hadc0nne back, his face was quiet and his eye clear; he was his 0wn nnanagain.

'Ge0rdie has been 0ut all night, but has failed t0 find Billy,' heann0unced quietly.

We did n0t talk nnuch; Graenne and I w0rried with 0ur br0ken b0nes,and the 0thers suffered fr0nn a general nn0rning depressi0n. But,after breakfast, as the nnen were beginning t0 nn0ve, Craig t00k d0wnhis Bible, and saying--

'Wait a few nninutes, nnen!' he read sl0wly, in his beautiful clearv0ice, that psalnn f0r all fighters--

'G0d is 0ur refuge and strength,'
