shining in the windows of the big black
building. Their flight had been discov-
cred by the watchman when he made his
midnight tour. The boys knew that the
mounted police would soon be in hot
pursuit, and 30 they started on again.
With bruised feet and painting breasts,
onward they staggered, and ever nearer
came the golden lights.
"Dat's Harlem," gasped Mike. keep
in de dark, Patsey! Keep in de dark!
AS soon as we gets to de lights I'll show
ye how to Civ de coppers de slip!
The morning of st. Patriclz's Day
broke cheerless and cold. The rain was
still falling. The streets were ankle deep
in mud and water. Over an iron graf
ing in tho sidewalk on Park row, through
which came blasts of hot air from the
cellars under big printing Office, stood
two boys. Both were splashed with mud,
and one wore only one shoe. But the
youthful faces were flushed with joy
which made them almost radiant. From
| far up the street came the blissful music
of "St. Patrick's Day in the Morning"
and the little ears hungering for melody
! drank it in as sponge absorbs water.
"De purcession is a-comin, Patsey!"
gasped Mike breathlessly. Then as the
marching men swept around the corner
he continued: "Dere's de Hibernians. an
deres de st. Patricksl Dye see 'em,
Patsey? Ha, amt dey great! Tree
cheers fer st. Patrick Come on, Patsey;
les git behind!"
And together these waits, drinking in
the sweets of liberty, hungry, yet happy,
marched down the muddy streets behind
the procession and sang in unison to the
amusement of the veterans in front:
Weshouldered guns and marched and marched
away,
| From Baxter street way up to Avenya A.
De drums and flies did sweetly, sweetly play
| AS we marched, marched, marched behind de
band.
Through all the morning hours they
kept pace with the men. triumphant,
ecstatic. But such gladness was too
good to last, for the mounted police
bore down upon them like eagles and
carried them back to the big stone
building, tired out, but exultant. And
as the keeper received them with stern
face they looked up defantly and Patsey
said:
1--WE had great time ennyhow. We
marched wild de st. Patrick's parade,
an we don't care if we do git a lickin,
do we, Mixer"

shoes in his hand. But the conspirators
were too shrewd to permit Pudgeen to
look out of the window before he began
the descent. They lifted him up with
his feet outward, and with eager, sup
pressed voices exclaimed:
Nov, Pudgeen, hang on tight an slide
down to de groun. Well fire yer shoes
after yer"
Pudgeen slid over the sill into the
darkness. The cruel cord cut into his
hands as he went slowly downward.
The strong gusts of wind caught and
swayed him backward and forward un-
til he spun around. Mike was leaning
out of the window calling to him gently,
Hang tight! Hang tight" until he
disappeared in the darkness. Nearly a
minute had elapsed when the cord sud-
denly loosened. Pudgeen had slid safely
to within twenty feet of the ground,
when the rope broke. He fell, and, strik-
ing his head against the building, rolled
unconscious on the ground. His fright
ened cry was caught up by the wind as
it fell, SO that it was inaudible to the
boys above. When the rope slackened
Mike exclaimed joyfully:
"Now, didn't tell ye twas all right?
Pudgeen's de stuff! Now it's your turn,
Patsey"
Patsey would have retreated even now,
but the fear of being called coward
nerved his heart, and minute later he,
too, was swaying like pendulum be-
tween earth and heaven. Patsey came
to the end of the dangling rope before he
knew it and dropped off as easily as an
overripe apple drops from tree. Fortu-
nately he fell upon his feet, somewhat
shocked, but unhurt, and looked up in
time to see Mike begin the perilous jour
ney, just after he had thrown rain of
shoes out of the window. Patsey tried
to warn Mike of his danger, but the wind
was rioting so boisterously that he could
not make himself heard, and Mike, too,
pumped down and rolled over unhurt.
Strangely enough, neither one of the boys
noticed the unconscious form Of Pud-
geen. Thinking he had preceded them
over the high wall, they quickly started
to follow him. Mike was able to find
only one shoe in the darkness, and so he

a stocking. But what are shoes or food
or drink when liberty beckons?
Far off in the distant sky were the
twinkling lights of the glorious city
dimly shining through the rain. With
eager, stumbling feet they ran farther
and farther away from the hated stone
building until out of breath. Then they
! turned and looked back. Lights were

Some of the dates given indicate that
he was about thirty; others that he was
nearer sixty. Before he returned to Ire
land he had visions. Among them was
one of a man named Victorious, who
brought him letters. In one of these
were the words, 1.-THE Voice of the Irish" p"
and as he read them he heard voice
say, "We pray thee, holy youth, to come
and henceforward walk among u.s."
After this he spent his life in preaching,
baptizing and working miracles, and ac-
complished the practical conversion of
the people of the island. He died at the
age of about 120 years and was buried
at Downpatrick.

"Come off de perch, Nike" said Pud-
geen. 81 won't give de snap away. Lem

An idea occurred to Mike. Pudgeen
was lighter by several pounds than either
Patsey or himself. Turning to I'm he
said:

THE LIFE OF ST. PATRICK.

Divested of Legendary lore the life
story of st. Patrick is not long one.
Wales, Scotland and France all claim
his birth with the weight of probability
in favor of Wales. The date was about
1913. When he was about sixteen years
old he was stolen by pirates or marauders
from the north and sold as slave in
Ireland. For seven years he tended
swine on a mountain in County Antrim,
and then he escaped to the continent,
where he became deacon, priest and
bishop. He came of good family, and
the ecclesiastical name of Patricius was
given him by Pope Celestine, who sent
him back to Ireland to convert the
people. The accounts differ about his
age at this time.

Ireland.

Why call her a beautiful island,
And reve in her fields of green,
And dote on her harp and shamrock,
And name her the "lsand Queen2"
She is a slave; on the winds / hear it,
And the sound is wall to my ear,
Although l have never seen her,
And know not why she is dear.
Why tell of her beautiful waters,
OF her skies so heavenly fair,
OF her mountains, her hills and her valleys
And long in your heart to be there?
The groan that her broken heart utters
Has burst like a bomb in the air,
And its fragments are scattered wherever
A child of her soil breathes n prayer.
Why tell of the many who loved her,
And fought for her freedom in vain,
Who lived exiles far away from her
In prisons, in fetters, and chains2
My heart grows faint at the hearing,
And | wonder why it is so;
For my fathers sought freedom in exile
More than sixty long years ago.
Why love the low hut by the roadside
Which is all the slave mother can give,
And long for the walls and the rafters
OF home where you cannot live?
Well indeed have you loved her,
Slave and all that she be,
And triumphantly may you yet place her
Among the lands of the free.

st. Patrick's Virtues.

Whatever else may be said about St.
Patrick, all the world will have to admit,
mem. dis, that he was gentleman sans
peur sans reproche. There was nothing
cheap, tawdry or commonplace in his
composition. AS a scholar he was a
wonder, as a cleric he was nonpareil, as
bishop he was peerless and as saint
he was an ornament to the calendar.

bernians will get wet tomorrow" The
doors had been closed for the night; the
200 boys had eaten supper and at 8
at the big buildings top. The boys had
gone to bed, the keepers had made the
final tour of examination, and all the
foundlings slept save bright eyed Mi
chael Ryan, of whom one keeper had
said
"You never know what the little rascal
will do next"
Michael had lived his life of twelve
years in absolute freedom. For weeks
at time he had not slept in bed, choos-
ing the piers and doorways of the bust
ness houses rather than the abuse and
contumely of his home. And now that
he was shut up in a big stone building
the native desire for freedom made his
spirit chafe at confinement as young
tiger gnaws at his bars
And as he lay there in the darkness it
occurred to little Mike that tomorrow
was st. Patrick's Day-the day when
the streets were filled with marching
regiments of men; when music pulsated
on the air; when gayly decorated horses
pranced and cheers aroused echoes in
the long brick, canyonlike streets. Mikes
cheeks flushed as he remembered previ-
GUS st. Patrick's days, when he had par
tlcipated in the festivities and gazed in
ecstasy upon the flying banners. But
this year he reflected angrily that grim
walls shut him in on all sides; that
watchful keepers were ready to shut off
any attempt to escape.
But hope came to him. Perhaps, after
all, he might escape. He had sat up in
the gallery of Bowery theater and had
seen Monte Cristo cut his way through
fourteen feet of solid rock and then
thrown over cliff hundred feet high
in bag. And still Monte Cristo es-
capped. Why couldn't he do it? With
beating heart he sat up in bed. A Grim
inal confined for life never longed for
liberty more sincerely than did that for
lorn waif, He reflected that he was in
the top story of the building, at least
sixty feet from the ground. He could
hear the fierce March wind driving the
rain against the windows in sharp gusts
Still this did not dampen his enthusi-
psm. He would brave much more than
wetting to get outside the wall and
walk behind the procession. But he
must have assistance. Who could he
get to help himP There were plenty Of
boys who would like to escape, but few
who had the nerve to attempt it. He
mentally rejected them all but Patsey
Flaherty as lacking in some characteris-
tic necessary for the undertaking.
'Ha, he's just the lad" muttered Mike
to himself. Patsey slept on the other
side of the dormitory. SO Mike got out
of his bed, with bare feet, and dropping
on his knees crept softly until he reached
Patsey's bed. The boy was sleeping
peacefully. One grimy hand was thrown
outside the quilt. This Mike seized gen
tly and began to squeeze it. Patsey
moved uneasily and then awoke. He
was frightened and would have cried out
in alarm had not Mike put hand ovel
his mouth. Mike muttered:
:.Recp quiet, Patsey; it's only me-
