24 THE INDIAN ADVOCATE
and apparently about seventeen years of age hung over the
bleeding bodies wringing her hands in agony too deep for
words or tears. But she started up at the near tramp of the
war-horse; and snatching with a frantic grasp at the bridle
she stopped the animal and glared upon its rider. Her hair
was flung back from her forehead and fell dishevelled on her
shoulders; her brow and hands were stained with blood her
cheeks deadly pale. She presented such a ghastly appearan-
ce that even Cromwell's iron heart quailed for a moment.
"In the name of God "she addressed him in a voice hoarse
from emotion "in the name of God have you not had
blood enough? Look! there lie my father my brothers my
betrothed all that belonged to me! Does not this satisfy
you? Have you not had blood enough? How will you ans-
wer to a just God for the blood you have already shed!"
Cromwell uttered not a word but disengaged his bridle from
her grasp and rode on. Yet the appearance and the words
Kate Kearney had awed him and he gave immediately
orders to stop the carnage: a remnant was saved a miserable
remnant indeed but Wexford was happier in this respect than
Tredah from which but one solitary individual escaped with
life from the sword of Cromwell's fanatical soldiers
Kate Kearney survived the siege of Wexiord and the slaug-
ter all of near and dear to her for upwards of a century; so
true .is it that
"Existence may be borne and the deep root
Of life and sufferance make its firm abode
In bare and desolated bosoms: mute
The camel labors with the heaviest load."
Childe Harold canto iv.
So true it is that in mmds of energy grief adds rather than
diminishes strength; for
"Grief is proud and makes its owner stout."
Shakspeare.
That is when grief has been caused by unmerciful oppression.
