" " 1'1 tel Yl a story , Dnny , Ir ye lead the way , " pleaded the shennachle. Denny Con- nellan's dread or the "good ople" was outweighed - weighed ly his Intense native love of roman- tic fiction.

" One by one the rarmer's guests clambered . bered over the stie Into the glen , while the shennachlo's sonorous voice repeated a tale or which lalycarey people never tire. tre.I appeared , according to oM Meimaul that during theory Irish rebellion of 1798 , one Geoffrey Carney a brother or the then lord of the manor hall been induced through friendship of Lord Jdward Fitzgerald and other patriot leaders to join the rebel cause. After the end or the war he led Into the mountains , hotly pursued by British troopers lad he been capture death without trial would assuredly have proven his position . For months he wandered through the bleak 4 passes or Sievecarney , living on the food ' supplied to him by the peasantry , and on occasional daintIes smuggled to him from Caste Carimey. The manner In which these later peed things were brought was at least Interesting. Interestng. Geoffrey Carey had a young nephew-also his gOdson-a line , daring boy or 10. who , In ' after years , became the famous "black Sir PhilIp. " But In those days Phi Carey was not "black" except as regarded [ his very fine eyes and his raven hair. Now Phi was DC' L customCI to go forth for voyages on hh pony over the mountain . and In lila saddlebags he carried many good things to his uncle. None of the .lragool or yeomanry thoulht unce. of arresting - resting a smal boy evidently bent upon some Pleasure Jaunt By Imiatng the mournful cal or the plover Phi brought his uncle to his sIde ; and then , a rendezvous [ for future use having been fixed , he would trot wih empty saddlebags lack to Castle Carney. But treachery was at work , and ! Lt soon be- came clear that unless aoelrey Carney could be smuggled out of hIs mountain hiding place and shipped to France his life would nol bo safe. Long and earnest consulatols In Caste Carey resulted In no scheme being devlscd. Winter approached , slceplnp on the his began to become Impossible , and , above all , the dreaded North Munster mUlla had been despatched Into Slevecrney barony to hunt down poor Goelrey and other fugItives . These North Munster soldiers were all the , more terrible , because , being Irish them- . selves , they had [ renepad d and fought against the rebellion . Where the BrItish sol- , tHere showed occasional mercy , these war- ! rlor sharing the bloo and customs or . their .tcthns , acted In a most bloodthirsty - thirsty manner. No wonder his friends Irem- bled for Geoffrey Clrney when the North Monster regiment came to hunt him down A detachment 'or the troopers ( It was a cay- airy regiment ) under one Captain Patrick , O'Murphy was quartered In Castle Carne Itself , and from the walls or the tine old house went forth to trap or shoot their host' brother But Ir all others abandoned Geoffrey to his fate , not so young Phi Carne ) Alter waitIng - log some days for caution sak , the boy started on another expedition to visIt his uncle "Uetum early , Phi , " cried hIs father .

At the very mention of the phoora there was a responsive shudder beneath the buckran regimentals or Captain O'Murph"s troopcrs. But orders were orders , so the detachment set fearfully forth to tale the bleak road which wound up Into Slevecarney mmiountaln The road was quite deserted , for all decent Ilea pIe were shelcred from ghosts within doora. The moon cast a pale , watery light upon the heather as the horsemen moved up- wards , alll In the uncertain light keen eyes were needed to distinguIsh ! objects at any tl i stance . Mammy a trooper that night wished himself safe home and In bed , Instead of huntng rebels amonp the sient hills . Indeed the vllant heat of the captain himself had be- gun to qtmaii . Just as they reach el the hlghc9t point or the mountaIn real ( where In those daye a huge gallows swung its ghastly load or corpse to the wind ! ) there came acrO 3 the moorE the unmistakable call of a plover So highly wrought were the nerves of the North Monster soldiers that every horse was Instantly reined In , without an order to that effect having been given. The captain , how- ever did not seem to notice this gross breach or discIpline. He hal stopped himself and waa gazing steadily In front or him over the moonlt stretch or bog and heather. The eyes of the soldiers tured In the same direction. Sulenly one or the men uttered a sharp , painful cry. There wan somethlnp coming toward them across the mountain top ! I was a strange. suggestive somethlng- a somothlng that shone ghastly white In the moommliglmt-a something that traveled at ter- rifle speed. "In heaven's name , " cried the captain , "what have we here ? " Over the dich Into time road went the approaching - preaching visitant at a bound. Clear against the moon the soldiers saw what seemed to be a monstrous form-hai horse hair imldoomms . Indescribable shapllessness. Into the hard white road leaped the being , and the heart of Captain O'lurphy delayed for a second Its functhonm' , when I was borne upon him that the hoofs of the newcomcr made no single sound upon the hard hi road. "The phooca ! yerralh , 'tls the phooc ! " ho nlell ( In an ecstasy of fear. Then , as If by immagle the heads or the soldIers' horses were I turned toward the ditches on eIther side of the road , and In a few minutes the troopers or the North MunDter detaqhlpent were frantically tylng across country-utterly routed by the noiseless ! apparition of the ountaln top - ' , I But straight down the hIll road toward Dalycarney cross.roats went the "phooca. " fly. the cross.roads sled a somalI group or men surrounding I handsome bay mare ready saddled. Curiously enough this group did not fly as the noiseless presence ap- proached. Instead , a tall man , the Innkeper or Balycarney , rushed out and seized the "phooca" by Its steaming bridle. Then the white sheet was pulled oft the phooca's back , and beneath It appeared Geoffrey O'Carney , holding In his arms his nephew Phil. Eager hands helped Geolrey Into the saddle of the hay mare , and after a hurried adieu ( for moments were precIous ) the young man went galloping toward the seacoast , from whence he was able safely to reach France. Hut YOU\ ; Phi Carney was surrounded by the eager crowd. "DId ye scare 'em , Masther Phi ? " was the question on every side. "Scare 'cmii ? " repeate the deservedly proud PhIlip . "They thought 'twas the phuoca and ran for their lives . They ought to be In the next barony by this tIme. " Then whim a grin , the ccuto heir of the CaneY Etoope,1 , down to untie from the feet or his gray pony the thick , bands of strlw which had rendered ! the feet or the "phooca" noIseless ! on thc h'gh ' road. As for Captain O'Murph and bls men , they never weut rebel-himmiting any more. The ridicule attached to their . lat exploit killed 11 desIre for that Port in-their bosoms.

The question becomes one or Interest whether as a general thing northern men can fete with advantage In the old slave states.

An interesting and unique exhibit 15 located In the rear of the povernment building which meane the beplnnlng of a new era In the Improvement or the publc roads. This exhibit Is made under the direction ' of the road Inquiry commission or the Agri- cultural eparlment , of which General Ray Stone of Kentucky 15 chIef. For some tIme these model roads have been In process at construction. Mr. E. O. Harrison , the supervising - pervlslng engineer , ha 1 had a large force at workmen under his control and has finished the roads after the most skilled authority. Three roads have been built of 300 feet In length. The first Is the ordInary dirt road , the next Is constructed of pure sand , and the third Is or the lcAdam-Telrort malte , and Ic I built of- stone. The roads are divided Into sections or fry feet. The first section will show level or no grade , the second will show two feet rise to the 100 wi feet , the third will show four feet rise to the 100 , the fourth six feet to the 100 , and I the fifth eight feet. . From time to time practical tests will be : inadc by Prof. Carson. These tests will be , made with a dynamometer ] , which will record ' the amount or horse power required to carry a ton over the respective roads. In addition 10 the exhibits and tests made In the government building the United States will give other tests and exhibits outside of the exposition grounds. A place has been en- paged on Peachtree which Is now being pre- pared by Mr. Charl s T. Harrison. During th' session or the road congress roads of different kinds will le put down , showing the material , the machinery , the methods and everything else used In the constructon of the roads. roads.ELECTRICAL . mSPLA The floatIng pillar of fire Is the most unique all elaborate electrical display to be seen at the exposition. This Is a column thirty-two feet In height and [ sb : feet In diameter. Over 1,000 electric lights have been arranged In spirals about time column. A huge cap , brilanty iumi- nated , Is placed on the top and a broad pe- destal holds the column up. The column Is I designed to give time most ornamental light effect ever produced. The lghts on the cap and base wIll remain the same , but the spiral lghts ore colored and wIll vary This column will be anchored In the mlddlo or the lake and the electric con- necton will be made by cable. The pillar was designed by Mr. Sterlnger. "Next to the column exhibied at Lenox lyceum In New York , " said Mr. Sterlnger "this pillar shown In Atlanta 15 the most ormiamental . The original Idea was to make the change or lghts responsive to the musical chords , to represent the swelling and failing or the musical chords.
