Just as they were about to put this plan into operation, Mrs. Skillion, a sister of the Kellys, dressed in a dark riding habit, trimmed with scarlet, aud wearing a jaunty hat, adorned with a conspicuous white feather, appeared on the scene. Father Tierney earnestly requested her to go to the hotel and ask hei- brother and Hart to surrender. She said she would like to see her brother before he died, but she would sooner see him burned in the house than ask him to surrender.
