and once every three months IL was his
habit to write letter in his own hand
to the noble lord in England. His
first epistle was very crude affair, all
print and blot, but, unless the British
premier thought il unworthy of saving,
it is among his papers this very day.
And one day there came letter to
little Patsy from England in the hand
writing of the great statesman him
self. Patsy kept this letter, and very
frequently showed it to his school
mates,

his duty to communicate with Rose

cided, upon the recommendation of the
Briton himself, to educate Pat in the
best manner. Therefore, the priest
sent the lad 20 the College of st.
Francis Xavier in New York, and for
three years he studied there. But
Patsy was found to be somewhat lack

But try as they would, the teachers

at all, hating books, indeed.
There turned up IN New York about
this time Patsy's brother, Mike,
bright Lad, too, full of energy and very
highly spoken of by the priests of the
mission. Patsy was very fond of his
brother. and the two formed plan of
going into business together. Patsy
announced his intention Of becoming
carpenter. He said that books were
not agreeable TO him.
However, the lad was not permitted
TO sacrifice what might prove to be a
brilliant future, and he remained at
the college until he was about IL or
more. All this time he had been most
carefully educated and provided for at
Lord Rosebery's expense, but his dispo-
sition being more and more ont of har-
mony with the future provided for
him, it was determined that he should
not follow learned profession.
But Patsy had shown signs of deli
cate health during the last years of his
college course. He was a little reck-
less in taking care of his strength, and
when he caught a bad cold one day he
neglected it atrociously. Before an
other year he showed signs of con-
sumption. Then followed a most
mournful time in the career of Rose
bery's boy. He was tenderly nursed
and had the constant and affectionate
care of a very devoted brother Rose
berry had meanwhile, upon the advice
of Father Drumgoole, abandoned all

Patsy proved such an unfailing source
of interest to the rising power in En-

across the ocean asking how he was

At last Pat died. His end came in
1854, eleven years after his patron had
sailed for England and seen the last of
him. Father Drumgoole duly notified
Rosebery and it was no doubt a source
of qualification to the peer that his
protege had expired in peace and every

prime minister of England, who sent
him to school and TO college. Patsy
MeNally, that was the name of Lord
Rosebery's boy, died when he was be-
tween is and 10 years old. and his ca
reer throws a light upon the character
of a statesman whose most enduring
memorial in this country is the head
stone above street arabs grave. 1t
was in the year 1873 that Rosebery and
Pat first met. Rosebery was then on a
visit TO this country, and among the
men who made profound impression
upon him was John c. Drumgoole,
whose statue now adOrns a leading
New York thoroughfare and who then
was a hard working priest, superin-
tending his mission for homeless boys.
Lord Rosebery got into the habit of
calling upon Father Drumgoole. and
one stormy night a waif was brought
into the refuge, who. beyond the fact
that his name was Patsy McNally and
that he was years old. could give no
account Of himself He had been picked
up ragged, dirty and starving, down at
the Battery. and the police sent him to
Father Drnmgoole. When he arrived
Rosebery and the priest were together in
the mission. Patsy was very bright
little fellow, blue eyed and witty, as
Father Drumgoole. who related the in
cident many times subsequently before
he died. was fond of stating. When
Patsy had duly set forth that he was
homeless and friendless and hungry.
Lord Rosebery asked him a number of
questions, after first accompanying the
little fellow to the refractory, where
the squarest thing in the shape of
meal was set before him that he had
ever seen. AT any rate, Patsy said so,
and his quaint way of expressing him
self so won the English nobleman that
he resolved to adopt the boy after a
teshiqn, Accordingly, an Arrangement
was made with Father Drungodle That
very night, according to the terms of
which Patsy was TO be clothed and ed
ucated at Rosebery's expense. The
Englishman left liberal sum in the
priests hands TO defray the prelim-
mary expenses necessary to con-
vert Patsy into well fed and
well dressed urchin. Rosebery was
Obliged to sail for England in Decem-
Der Of that year, but he found time
to see his boy, as Patsy was now
known.
From the day Of Rosebery's arrival
in England. amid the distractions of a
varied political career. he was mindful
Of the far away waif and Father
Drumgoole corresponded regularly
with the rising statesman on the sub
ject Of Pat and his progress. Rosebery
RENTED regularly to the priest a sum
of money which served to defray all
the expenses of his bringing up.
He grew into very hardy lad,
active and diligent, but the bright
promise of his youth was not quite
realized. Not that Patsy was what
might be called bad boy. Very far
from it. He studied very diligently,
