There is n sovereignty of elation and ex
ultation in wnndering alone among the
Bconio glories of any land. A good stalf
or stick , a. stout pair of legs , a rccoptivo
mind , and above all a ehcory heart ,
whatever one's luck , are the regal com
panions for such tailorings. Thus one
is in true hahilnment and spirit for na
ture's open-hnmlod companionship.
Shu appears at her myriad doors and
windows which are shut to noisy crowds ,
with radiant welcoming . You may
be biityr and even god with her for the
day ; and pools can'noyor sing as she
will hing lo you , and you will sing in
and from your soul to her , to the mar
vel of yourself , whore before you know
no harmonious chord.
It was with some such reflection as
thc&o , that on the last morning of Ooto-
bor I had loft the little hamlet of Kil-
inncrctian before daybreak , and came
with ami without the sun over the
Glondowan mountains to see the rising
of the mists from the great valley of
Glen Veagh , and feast upon the won
drous charms of hum and mountain
tough and glen , cascade and cliff ,
if good fortune should hring with
advancing day a clear sky above.
And what a witching morning it was !
Scarcely could your hand be seen before
you for the fog. There was your road ,
centuries old and as hard as Irish land
lordism , beneath your feat. You could
not mistake that. But what was to the
right or the left , or before , only fancy ,
quickened by the morning's awakening
life , intensified by near and far mysteri
ous sounds , could locate and divine.
Tramp , tramp , tramp , bravely as you
mightthose grew into the consciousness
asso imperative of recognition , that ,
dcspito joursclf , over and again you
would slop to listen , listen. Drip , drip ,
drip from the leaves of the hedges Into
water-basins of rock , the great drops
striking the water lilco silver pellets
upon glass ; until the very chimes of the
fairies wore rung in your cars beside
road. Not a rod away , but invisible ,
rivulets of the night's making wimpled
from rocks to pools , from the staccato oftener
tenor trills to the low barytone minors
of stately psalms. Just at my side , as
if snapping with its long no ' ! c from be
hind the curtaining mist , a geese
would hiss , or quack quack , at door of
unseen cabin. Beyond or behind , u
chained dogmalting a dismal hcwgagof
Iccnncl door and chainlcapcdoutaudia
b.aiing to his ponsant-mu&tor of un
it moly footsteps. Over my head Iho
rosllcss abrasion of boughs whispered
that the leaves , from their very weigh t
of fog-cups , sighed and moaned as if im
patient of their sunless prisoning.
Hedge branches crackled from water
weight as in the frost battles of at > -
proacliiug winter. Hero and there as
the heavy brco/os moved a trillo , would
come Hie hesitant pipe of stirring bird ,
the patter of wild hares' foot upon the
slippery leaves , the half-caught , hoarse
resonance of hidden waterfall ; while
faint and far and distrnctintrly mufllud ,
the notes of distant early chapel bell
pushed in through the llocoy folds of
the fog. Learning tlieso and countless
more by heart , then it was tramp ,
tramp , tramp , again , as if pushing
every step through impalpable banks of
snow ! And then
Ah , yes ; hero were the bravo old
Donegal questioners again , as I came
between two towering bare-headed ,
bare-footed liguros standing across the
way in front of their own invisible road
side ) farm-house , gaping and stretching ,
and "getting a taste o' the morn. " But
no inquisition this time. Just two
pleasant-faced Irishmen , f athor and
son ; ready for a friendly argument upon
anything ; wondering at the stranger
and his bravo speed through the fog ;
and whom no diplomacy could escape
until a bre.ikf.ist of their simple faro
was had with them. Then , as the har
vests were well in , the son must bo my
guide through Glen Veagh , whethqr erne
no ; and , by thib and by that , a pledge
mubt be given that , when the day was
done , I would become one of those who
from the country roundabout wore to
make the thatches of that very farm
house shiver and ring with the inno
cent hilariticb of an Irish All Hallow
live.
If your fancy be a glowing one , put it
to _ its most fervent lest in picturing the
wildest , sweetest , weirdest and most
gloriously beautiful snot within its
powers of creation , and you have not
then got even a glimpse of the magical
fascinations of Glen Veagh. From
whore wo stood until tlio mists had van-
ishcd , at the mouth of the p.iss through
Glendowan mountains , half way be
tween mountain top and valley level ,
the whole mighty scries of resplendent
panoramas strolchcd away to the north ,
blending into surpassing purples above
the stately blue of Veagh Lough. To
the cast and our right rose the loug and
gracefully outlined heights of Glen
dowan. Behind and to the soulh , up
lands dipped and rolled into matchless
valley descont3shaping the approach to
Glendowanl valley , which merged below
us into the nobler depths of Glen Voagh.
To tlio far west from bouth to north , and
forming tlio remoter valley rim , swept
the Dorryveagh ranges ; w'hilo through
Lheir highest opening were discerned
the glittering grays of lone Errigal , of
all Donegal the monarch height. Glon-
doan soared above the mists ; Muokish
lifted its hugo , lone ; back , monster-liko
oven in the sunshine : and the lofty
Dooish sot a flinty wall to.tho west ,
straight up from the edge of the glen ,
for 1,120 ! ) of its 2.200 foot in height.
Through all the valley between island ,
crags and copse , poured burns with end-
ess melodies. From the Dooish bide
the Calabber river bounded over ils
rocky bed into scores of cascades , separ
ated , forming a dreamful island , andits
Hunches reunited , stole into the penco-
ul bosom of the Owoncarrow. Reaching
jough Veagh itsalf , you find it ponnou
jotv/eon walls nearly a thousand feet

could seemingly safely tread. The burn

The entire day passed as an hour in
Glen Veagh , and it was nightfall ere wo
reached the farm house , where quite a
n umber of country folk wore already
awaiting our arrival. The house itself
was bomowhat larger than the average
Irish cabin. It contained two very
large square rooms. Above these were
fairly spacious lofts , rattier close
against the thatches , where most of the
beauty btorcs wore placed , and whore
the on tire family wore disposed of at
nights in bunks , not unlike sailors in a
vessel's forecastle. But across the road
stood a mortcr-walled barn as largo
again as the house ; and this , swept
clean and &et to rights , was also ready
for the hospital service. Both house
and barn were lighted brilliantly , con
sidering the poverty of the 'host
who o singular name for an Irishman ,
John Rutherford Walker , uiijrht have
had to do with the latter fact with
lamps , candles , and even hero
and there with an Irish "splin
ter , " or long blivor of bog-wood
coated with tallow. With these
already there , and with these constantly
arriving , came mysterious little bundles
which wore secretly edged into the
peasant-mother's hands , or dropped
with great effort at nonehalonco in
some odd corner ; making it easy
enough to see that whatever might be
tlio bounty of the night , each one had
been mindful of the farmer's small
purse and the assemblage's concrete
mighty deeds all much after the man
ner of our American countryside "do
nation party. " Within , everything
the homo possessed shone ns brightly
us the faces of all who camo. The-
housewife seemed swelling and bursting
with cheery Hurry and heat ever polb
and kcltlos at the great fireplace of the
greater room ; and sundry bavory odors
promised much for a later hour. The
kitchen had been given over to the
youngsters , who wore nlrcady deep in
their Halloween charms and games ;
and becoming ono of them , like the
good old man who "cared not for the
fall , " in Willis' "Saturday Afternoon , "
I soon won place and honor.
Of all brief periods of Irish pleasure ,
Halloween yields the sweetest , because
the most harmless and innocent , de
lights. It is the night of unbounded
mirth , witching charm and sinless
dream. It is then that the tendorest of
all of superstition's eerie broods , the
kindly Irish fairies , mingle with hu
man moods and wish , and weave their
friendly spells through all the warp and
woof of thought , emotion , dream and
desire. And hisislin inscnsale heart

ind , with u twinkle of triumph at me ,
xtemporaneoubly delivered these lu-
nlnous lines to Iho host :
John Kutlicrford Waller ,
I'm not much of n talker
( A Voice : "Tho nislest in three king
doms ] " ]

For your sowl ho ovur wilt prayl
"I have ye there , my fine sundown ! "
beamed from his face as ho resumed his
seat ; amid much applause ; and nil eves
convevecl to me u consciousness of his
mortal challenge. Sorely pressed for
temporary expedient , to reach beneath
the tlfth rib of the pedagogue , I told
thorn this brief tale of Scottish valor ,
for the trulh ot which tradition , if not
history , will vouch :
QTllc'ro was once a great Scotlish king ,
pugnacious , invincible , and given to
wild rejoicings over his own unchecked
conquests. Tne king of Cornwall had
dared his power , ana for this daring
had just received a sound dubbing. The
conquering Scottish king , returning to
his Highland castle laden with booty
and spirits good and bad , as was his
custom , began n mighty drinking bout
among his glad and willing courtiers.
In the midst of the orgies and bo.istings
the sense of his greatness so possessed
the king that ho bent peremptorily for
his prime minister , and thus in the
presence of the assemblage addressed
him :
"Sandy , go ye out thus minute to n'th'
world. Bid ilka kung grant my pow'r
o'er him , or I'll gang an' pull th' unce-
vil frao his thrnn ( throne. ) "
Poor Sandy could do no less than as
he nas1 bid. But passing out from the
castle hall , in his perplexity ho related
his king's command to a friendly priest.
"Return and tell thy master , " said
the latter , "there is ono king ho ne'er
nill conquer ; ay , ne'er so much as como
in sight of his great glory the King of
heaven , Sandy ! "
Glad of any excuse for delay in his
dubious mission , Sandy at once returned
with this sad news to the king , who
nearly expired with rage at such do-
jlant and ill-timed audacity. Wild with
indignation he roared :
"Go ye , Sandy , wi' micklo speed till
thus oopstart kung o' Huv'n , an' Did
him beware o'my wroth. Ef ho dinnti
the minute lay doon his crown at my
fut , I'll pull him , collar an' bruclc , frao
his ain thranl"
Departing ho again met the Driest to
whom lie relating in great freight the
king's awful threat.
"Toll thy master , " said the priest ,
"ho can have both the king of heaven
and heaven itself for the asking. "
Radiantly Sandy sped to the king
with these wonderful tidings , and a
wild and joyous shout wont up within
the great hall of the castle at the an
nouncement of this bloodlcss _ victory. It
quite upset the bravo old king , who in-
slanlly appeased and softened , gave his
minister these gracious commands :
"Go yo , Sandy , wi' micklp speed till
thus Kung o' Huv'n. Bid him rest i'
peace ; i' micklo pence , Sandy. Tull
him th' Kuncr o' Scotland warrants him
foro'or his guid thran. O , ay , S.uidy I
an' thot for his unco cevolity , imo Scot
shal o'er put fut i' his kingdom ! "
A hullabuloo now without arrested

a great btirpriso. Sallying forth when
the tales and songs were at their
height , Ihoy had descended upon
another Halloween parly a few

had captured and brought a fiddler
bodily away ; the whole crowd of de
feated friendly rivals following afler in
prideful acclamation. And hero they

rying their pri/.o on their shoulders
into the great-room , whuro the proces
sion was received with ringing1 cheers.
