Wasn't he in love with the beautiful _Cooleen Bawn_, Squire Folliard's daughter ?' 'That's not the question between us,' he said, 'but if you enable me to catch Reilly, I will give you twenty pounds.' 'Well, your honor,' says I, 'lave the thing to myself; if he is to be had it'll go hard but I'll find him.' 'Well, then,' says he, 'if you can tell me where he is I will give you twenty pounds, as I said.' 'Well, sir,' says I, 'I expect to hear from you; I am not sure he's in the country--indeed they say he is not--but if he is, I think I'll find him for you;' and so we parted." "Fergus," said Reilly, "I feel that a disguise is necessary.

Here is money to enable you to purchase one.

I do not know where you may be able to find me; but go and buy me a suit of frieze, rather worn, a dingy caubeen hat, coarse Connemara stockings, and a pair of clouted brogues; some course linen, too; because the fineness of my shirts, should I happen to be apprehended, might betray me.

Leave them with widow Buckley, and I can find them there." It was so arranged.

Fergus went on his way, as did Reilly and the bishop.
