TO the present generation the name
of Mary DUFF is known only by tradition
and by Mome's poem, says Edward Box
in The Ladies' Home Journal Yet her
career reds like romance. it was in
London that she was born, in 1894. Her
christened name was Mary Ann Dyke.
When she was scarcely Is, she was
known far and wide as one of the most
beautiful girls of the neighborhood. Her
poverty led her to adopt the stage as
profession, and she and her two sis
tiers, also of great beauty, became dan
GERS at the Dublin theater, where their
singular grace, comeliness of face and
person attracted immediate attention
and admiration. Whenever the Dyke
sisters appeared. the theater would be
thronged. And Mary seemed to be the
favorite Of the trio.
1t was the fashion of the time at Kill
kenny for gentleman amateurs TO give
annual public performances for the ben

ON one of these occasions, when the as
sistance of professional ladies from Dub

the Irish poet, was introduced to Mary
Dyke and Immediately found himself
passionately in love with her. 1t was in
the play, Fortunes Frolic. T" that Tom
Moore personated Robin Roughhead and
Mary Dyke Nancy.
The Irish poet became Mary Dykes
very shadow, and after awhile he pour
ed forth his great love for her and offer
ed her his hand and heart. But, for
some reason, the beautiful Mary did not
reciprocate the wealth of affection thus
offered her, and she rejected him. 1t

Chicago. Aug. 22-Joe Patchen won
three straight heats from John r. Gen.

down the trackand Starter McCarty de-
layed the first heat of the big event
until after the second heat of the 2.25
class.
After scoring a couple of times Nc
Carty gave the word on even terms.
The heavy wind and track precluded
the possibility Of breaking a record. To
the half they raced neck and neck,
when McHenry called on Gentry and
he forged to the front, abbetted by the
whip. Curry sat still and In the stretch
made his call. Patchen responded
gamely and won easily In 2.05A. with
Gentry q length to the bad.
In the second heat Patchen led all
the way. McHenry went to the whip
at the half. but Gentry could not re-
spend. Curry pulled Patchen up jog
ging home In 2.O7A. AFTER this heat
Curry announced that he was going for
the record and would not wait for Gen.
try.
The third heat was easily PaItchen's,
as Gentry had tired under punishment
in the previous heat on coming into the
stretch. The time in this heat was also
2.O7h. At no time did; Gentry act as
though he had chance to win heat.
