L" Time vzs called. "-RoxIlNA.

4 tHt- tyAo CAttCLs -LNOAlANAs
In the summer of 1920, some private aC-
fairs called me into the sister kingdom, and
as | did not travel, like Polyphemus, with
my eyes out, | gathered a few samples of the
Irish character, among which was the follow
ing incident:
| was standing one day at the window Of
mine inn, when my attention was attracted by
a scene that took place beneath. The Belfast
coach was standing at the door, and on the
roof in front sat a solitary passenger, a fine
young fellow in the uniform Of the Con-
naught Rangers. Below, by the front wheel,
stood an old woman, seemingly his mother,
a young man, and a younger woman, sister
or sweetheart, and they Were all earnestly en-
treating the young soldier to descend from
his seat on the coach.
Come down wild ye, Thady : the speaker
was the OLD woman. Come down now to
your Guild mother. Sure its fog you they
will, and strip the flesh from off your bones,
| give ye. Come down, Thady, darlinr
Its honor, mother, was the short reply OF
the soldier, aud with clenched bands, ana
with set teeth, he took a sitter seat on the
coach.
'FhaIy, come down-como down, We fool
| of the worll-como along down wId ye -
The tone OF the present appeal was more inn
patient and p%eromptory than thu last and
the answer was moro promptly and sternIy
pronounced It's honor, mother = and the
body Of the speaker rose more rigidly erect
than ever on the roof.
'Oh, Thady, come down sure it's me,
your own Kathleen that bids We. Come down
or yen break the heart of me, TlIaddy, jew
ell; como down then = The poor gjJl wrung
her hands as she said it., and cast a look up
ward that had a visible effect on the muscles
OF the soldiers countenance. There was
more tenderness in his tone, but it conveyed
the same resolution as before.
It's honor, honor bright, Kathleen y and
as il to defend himself from another glance,
he fixed his look steadlastly in front, while
the renewed entreaties burst from all three in
chorus, with the same
Come down, Thady, honey Thady, ye
fool come down, come down-Oh, Thady,
come down to me!'
ITS honor, mother! It's honor, brother f!
honor bright, my own Kathleen.'
Although the poor fellow was a private,
this appeal was so public, that | did not hest
tate to 90 down and inquire in the particulars
of the distress. 1t appeared he had been home
on furlough, to visit, and having exceed
ed, as he thought, the term OF his leave, he
was going 10 rcjoiu his regiment, and to

undergo the apprehended penalty for his
neglect | asked him when his furlough ex-
PRED.
THE first Of March, your honor-bad luck
to it of all the other black days in the world
and here it is come on mt like a shot!'
The first of March why, my good fell
low, you have a day to spare, then-the first
of March will not be here till tomorrow. 1t
is Leap Year, and February has twenty-nine
days.
The soldier was thunderstruck. Twenty
nine days, is it, You're sartin of that same :
Oh, mother, mother the devil fly away wild
your old almanac, a base cratur OF a book, to
be desayin one after living SO long in the ia
mily of us! y
His first impulse was TO cut a caper on the
roof of the stage coach, and he threw up his
cap with a loud huzza. His second was 10
throw himself into the arms Of Kathleen, and
the third was to wiring my hands OF in ac-
acknowledgement.
Its a happy man | am, your honor, for
my words saved, and all done by your
honor's names. Long, long life TO your
honor for the same! May ye live a hundred
years, and they be lape-years every one Of
them!'
