ptf ft'. hi 1 .V 1 ' f II I y Where He Was On St Patrick's Day In the Morning By NORA B. SHEA It was the evening boforo SL Pat rick's day, 1705, In Ireland. Tho moon was at tho full and shone with unuau jd brightness. Dennis O'Donobue, a young man of twenty-two, mounted on a black mare, was trotting on a road between KHlarney and Traloo on bis way to a ball at tbo latter place. Sud denly catching Bight of a light somo dlstanco from tho rood, ho drew rein jind thrust his hand In under his waist coat to pull his watch from bis fob. It was not there, and ho remembered that ho had left it at home. Now, what ho wished his watch for tras to noto tho tlmo that ho might de cide whether to attempt something that popped Into hla head at seeing the light referred to. In tho houso where Jt flhono lived Eileen Mavournccn, a young girl whom Dennis would havo .gladly wooed had ho been permitted to -do no. Dennis was Inclined to bo a trlflo wild, and Eileen was warned by Iter parents to havo nothing to do with liini. Nevertheless tho young man wsb es jxx'lally attractlvo to girls. Ho was tall and lltho, and a mass of light curls ell down over his shoulders. Tender hearted to n fault, It was suspected that for tho benefit of others In dis tress ho had trespassed on tho law by taking a purso on tho highway. Tho O'flrady, n rich landowner, had been stopped one nlghton tho road, and later ono of his tenants, a poor woman for whoso eviction ho had given orders, paid tho rent in coins, ono of which, a pocket piece, Tho O'Grndy recognized us having been taken from him by tho lilghwnymau. Tho story got nhroad that Dennis O'Donohuo, sympathizing with tho woman, had robbed tho land lord nnd given tho monoy to his ten Atit to savo her from ovlctlon. That tho robbery had taken placo for that very purposo woh true, but Dennis O'Donohuo had nothing to do with it It occurred to Dennis that ho would lovo to tnko Eileen With him to the ball nt Trnlco. Her father and mother wero oldorly people, and It was theli custom to go to bed nt 0 o'clock every night. It might bo ponulblo to take her with him and bring her back without their knowing of her absonco. Tho hour wan about (), but ho did not know whether It was n llttlo boforo or a little after1 0. ITo dure not go boforo nnd did not lllto to Iobo tlmo by going too long after. While ho was deliberating ho Jieard lho sound of horso's hoofs coining from tho direction of Trnlcc. Ho would nwalt tho rldor's coming and fink tho time. A man on horseback drew near, and when ho cnnio up DoiiiiIh .said In a mild voice: "I beg your pardon for stopping you, air, but would you tell mo what o'clock It is?" Dennis' back was to tho moon, whllo tho horHeinan faced It, and Dounls rec ognized Tho O'Qntdy. Tho O'drady Losltutcd. Tho volco sounded like that of O'Donohuo, by whom ho believed Jjo had been robbed. Dennis' horso was restless and, turning, exposed Dennis' taco to tho moon. Tho O'drady thrust his hand under his coat us If to tnko out his watch, but Instead drew u pis tol and, pointing itat Dounls' head, said: "It Is tlmo for you to movo on, 'Den nis O'Donohuo, and I would advlso you to go to ono of tho American colo nies, for if you over nppeur in Klllar uey n pi I n I'll bring you up for high way robbery. Twice is onuo too often for yo.ii to rob tho siuno persoul" Willi this, Htlll covering Dennis with Ills plntol, ho urged on his borne, leav ing Dennis Htaudlug In tho road muta wllli nstonlHhment. Dennis knew at onco that this evidence ngaliiHt him, taken with tho suspicion of another robbery, would convict him of being a highwayman, and that mount cither a long Imprisonment or death, He thought of tnkiiig Tho O'Grady's ad vice and, riding over to Cork, take olilp for Virginia. Instead ho concluded to ride over to see Eileen and toll her whut hnd occurred. This would U'pkcii tho blow to her, and she could explain tho matter to his father and mother. Tho hour now mudo no dlfforcnco to Win, so ho put spurs to his homo and ou reaching tho gato threw tho brldlo rein over a picket nnd went up tho walk to tho house. Tiptoeing on to tho porch, he saw Eileen sitting alono la tho living room, A tap on tho win dow arrested her attention, and, turn lug, sho saw DcuuIb' fuco ugalnst tho nnue. Putting her linger to her lips alio went softly to tho door nnd led blm Into tho room. "What Is It, Demits?" sho asked, alarmed nt IiIh rueful appearance "Havo your father ami mother gono to bed?" ho whispered. "Yes." Dounls told his story, finishing by ylug that ho saw no bopo for htm but to go to Virginia. Eileen's coun tenance fell at this. Sho stood think bag. "Why don't you provo au alibi, Don xila?" sho asked presently, "An alibi?" "Yes. Tho mnglstrato will havo only Tho O'Grady'o word that bo met you on tho road. If you can provo you wero somowhoro olso his evidence will be' worthless." "iJUthow can I do that?" Graetful Woman ef India.

MITCHEL During the war between the states an Englishman named Larklns, who had been u sergeant In the British army, came over to America to seek service with the Federal army. If he failed he wou.d try the Confederacy A xoldler of fortune, he hnd no prefer encc, though In Lugmud the people were overwhelming! In favor of ilie south. Larklns had paper to prove Ms British citizenship, which enabled him to sojourn either In the north or In tbo south, as he pleased. He came over in a blockade runner to Charles ton, 8. C, and, going to lUchmoud. Va., mnde application for a commis sion. Ho wus offered one. but by this tlmo exhaustion had begun to show It self in tho Confederacy, especially In a financial way, and Larklns was not pleased with tho want of prospect of emolument in its service. So he con cluded to try for a commission in tbo Federal army. Having declined tho southern offer, ho asked for a pass to go through the lines to Washington, telling tho au thorities in Richmond that he had been called homo to England. It was fur nished him, and ho left for tho Army of Northern Virginia, at that tlmo en camped between tho two capitals, In tending, after having been passed through tho lines, to work his way northward. Tho route ho desired to take lay through Fredericksburg, and encamped upon tho road was a divi sion commanded by a general whom I wllf cull Beaumont When Larklns presented his pass to the officer, telling him at tho snmo timo that bo was a British subject, ho was treated with consideration for the reason that the southerners wero constantly hoping that tho British government would In terfere In their behalf, and they were always ready to show attention to such English persons as camo among them. General Beaumont showed great In terest In John Larklns, regretting that his recall to Englambhad deprived tho south of his services. Tho general told him that if ho would remain nnd ac cept a commission ho would appoint him to a position on his staff. The Englishman wob tempted: but, know ing that ho must tako his pay in depre ciated Confederate currency, ho ad hered to his resolution, assuring the general that his recall was Imperative. A number of olllcoru wero Introduced to Larklns, who looked upon him with considerable interest. This he attrib uted to tho fact that he had told the general that he had fought In the Crimean war and took part In tho cele brated charge of tho Light brlgude, of which ho gavo a vivid description. Whatever the cause, tho ex-British sol dier was much pleased with his treat ment, and when ho was urged not to hurry away ho felt disposed to linger In his pleasant surroundings. Every ono hnd heard of tho chnrge that had thrilled tho world and had been com memorated by the British poet laurento Alfred Tennyson, ho that ono who had taken part In It was especially inter esting to soldiers. Larklns had reached General Beau mont's headquarters lu tlmo for lunch eon and was Invited by tho general to lunch with him and his staff. During tho afternoon Beaumont Invited the Englishman to ride with him on a tour of Inspection of his division, and In the evening the chief of staff, Captain Car ter, asked tho visitor If ho would not llko to call upon a southern family liv ing lu tho vicinity. Larklns was not what would bo considered In England u gentleman and demurred at the In vitation, but the general urged him to mnko the acquaintance of at least one household of coutheru Indies while In America, and he consented, Larklns that evening met Cnrollno Fletcher, a captivating southern girl, who had only to Hinllo upon him to mnko him fancy that hIio had been smitten with blm. When he told her that ho was simply passing through the Hues and would go north tho next day hIio pouted ami Insisted on a prom lso that ho would cull upon her tho next, evening. Gallautry led Larklns to promise, nnd ho left her not qulto knowing whether ho was standing on his heels or his head. Tho noxt day ho was shown more at tentions by tbo officers and In the evening culled on Miss Fletcher. Sho received him on a veranda rich with tho porfumo of tlowers. Sho was enro fully attired and looked bewitching. She flirted with Larklns for awhile, then begun to ask hlmr on which side of tho American conflict his sympa thies wero enlisted. Ho assured her that bo bad no preference, whereupon sho coqucttlshly asked blm if bo would do her u service. Havlug declared that ho would bo glnd to nccommodnto her, sho told him that she belonged to n Union family aud was bound up fn tho success of tho Union arms. Sho con fided to him thnt sho wns sending In formation to Washington and ended by asking him if ho would carry a written communication for her to Pros idcut Lincoln.
