' Among'the number were .two young men
from Tyrone. who had marriedjust on the
eve 'ot sailing. and ltad come with thetr
buxom brides .to seek thetr lortunes in‘A

side from girlhood, and were intimate as
sisters. i The former were no less intimate
and attached to each other. . l

Biddy were. not lnrg in making up their
minds to go with them. ‘ ,
After settling tor their passage and ‘en

to assume a style of living rather more
imposing than the hack rooms and second
stories ol a grog shop. But even in grat
ilying his pride, Leary nus cautious not
to put the main chance in jeopardy. A
house at four hundred dollsars rent, and
five or six hundred dollars laid out in par
lor and some additional chstnher lurniture
covered the length and breadth ol his ex
travagance at this era in his history. Du
ring the whole of this period he had heard
nothing lrom O’Shsue. except that on his

well greased brogans that had carried him
many a mile, over rough roads as well as
smooth ones. were thrown aside. & boots
well blacked wornin their stead ; they were
the first blacked boots that had ever cover
ed his feet. In this new dress Leary, at
first, scarcely knew himself, but he was not
longrin lorgutting‘that .he had ever worn
any garments of an interior quality. The
constant attendance upon customers.-with
the necessity of handling'himself sll .ths
