THE IRISH ALPHABET,
Pretty and Poetic System of Naming
the Latin Letters.

A Pretty and Poetic System of Naming
the Latin Letters.
Our alphabet came directly to us from
the Irish missionaries and professors Of
religion and wisdom, who taught Chris
tianity to the heather Angles, Saxons,
Jutes, Cloths, Germans, Danes AMI
Swedes several centuries after the death
of our Lord. Instead of using the
Latin names for the letters taken from
the Christian Romans, they gave them
names of their own. Their wise and
pious men had been members of, or
were the pupils of, class of learned
heathens called the Druids. In ancient
Ireland, daus, was prophet, priest,
doctor and magician, and the name
seems to be connected with our word
tree. 1t was against the rule of the
Druids to write things down. Thew
were in the habit of retiring to the
deepest woods for meditation and study.
sometimes attended by pupils. That is
probably the reason why the Irish,
among whom the Druids retained
their power the ngest-because
Ireland was the hardest to reach
of all the great islands Whereabouts, and
the last to feel the changes taking place
elsewhere in Europe-chose this prottyt
system of naming the letters of the
Latin alphabet when it became COM
mon. Instead of calling A, alpha, as
the Latins usually did, they said A,
datm, the word which stood in their.
language for palm-tree and came, in
sound, nearest to alpha, and began with
an H. Instead of beta they said BETH,
the word for birch-tree, almost the same
in sound as the Phnnician, but quite
different in meaning. And SO with the
other letters: Coll. hazel; dui9, oak;
ead.ha, aspen; .tearan, alder; gort, ivy;
huath, Whitethorn; sogho, yew; las,
mountain ash; mum, vine; NUN, ash;
or, broom; peith, dwarf elder; sail, will
low; teine, furze; ar, heath. They
called this alphabet bethluisntoa, choos-
ing out the letters B. L and N, instead
of the letters A and B, to form name.

CHAPTER XI.-CoNrrNuEp,


1t was noticeable to Phil that the
poet, for some reason as yet unknown,
was gradually becoming less and less
at his ease while the reading of the
play went on, and this somewhat
dashed his own interest in the business.
Now for time Marsh deserted Phil al
together. and left him standing in a
corner companionless, while he crossed
the room and addressed Miss Churchill.
'sWill you give me a word? asked
the poet.
Certainly"
.'I have done clumsy thing, and I
have only just begun to see it. A
worshipper of yours, a poet and as fine
hearted lad as have met anywhere,

secret of knowing none but good peo-
pie

turn, ''brightens everything you shine

truth now and then. Butt am afraid
I may pain you, and yet I feared you.
might blame me if you knew, and if
did not bring him. can not tell
whether am acting well or i'll, wisely
or in my common way"

said.

carriage from the greenroom, though
her knees shook beneath her, and her
heart beat wildly. When she reached

Der private to herself her trembling
knees relaxed altogether, and she al
most fell into the armchair beside the
fireplace.
..Does he know who / amp" she
asked herself, thinking of Phil. "Does

A thousand tumultuous questions were
in her mind, thousand tumultuous

wondered why she had not stayed to
brave the storm, to make her confess

eeotism sounded. Would she have
been so unworthy of him af-
ter all if he had taken her
back and forgiven herr Would she not
have loved him SO, with such an unfail-

CHAPTER XII.

The situation was sufficiently embar-
RAISING. At the moment Mrs. Ire
garthen, Marsh and Phil each felt it to
be nothing less than terrible. Phil was
an especially sensitive lad, unusually
swift to like people, and splendidly GER
tain of the accuracy of his own secret
intu1tions. He had met nobody who
had so impressed him as Mrs. Tregar-
then. He was sure that she was as
good, as pure and womanly as she
looked-as pure as the sweet, perse-
cuted Bertha in the poets comedy.
The faint smile he had twice seen upon
her face had fingered in his mind as
that of a saint in pain. He had identi-
fed her with the part he had seen her
playa thing always easy for ardent
youth, and common enough in the ex-
perienee of actresses who are not mod
els of all the virtues, or embodiments
of wit and sweet temper. That for
once the natural fancies of raw lad
were justified was nothing to him. He
could have been quite as certain of
their truth if he had pitched on new
Jezebel. And he had called this suffer-
ing incarnation of goodness-to her
face-a worthless woman!
The poet, for his part, had the misery
of knowing that he was responsible for
the encounter and the shocking result
which had sprung from it.
A better artist would have told his
story better, and would have wasted
less time on non-essentials, but it is not
too late to say here what should have
been set forth earlier. An intellectual
fop had grown into a man and had put
