bent toward Tom and looked at him in

house was found lodged against

which had escaped by a miracle, was
rescued.

Toms outing, it was so full of adven-
ture that he will not soon forget It.

The city of LunattCs.

About 1900 years ago Dymphna, the
daughter of an Irish king, became con.
verted to Christianity. Filled with re-
ligious zeal, she refused the attention Of
all sutors. This so angered her father
that he threatened to wed her to u swine
herd. Then Dymphns fed away to Elan
ders, locating where is now the town OF
Gheel. Her father pursued her, and
found the princess engaged in prayer
with several insane persons standing
about watching her. Dymphna's sup
plicstions were for the return OF reason to
the simple folk. The king then drew his
sword and cleft the head from the
body" Immediately the insane men
were made whole in mind. Ever since
that time the place where the Princess
Dymphna was killed has been sort OF
mecca for the insane. The town of Gheel
has grown up about it, and the little
place is certainly one of the most wonder
full towns in the world, 1t is generally
known as "A City of Lunatics." OF its
population of 5000 persons in 1892, 20l7
were crazy. Only few-the most vic.
lent-are confined The others are per
mitted to roam at will, only the authori-
ties exercising a sort OF surveillance over
them. There are lunatics of every sphere
of life in Gheel-princes, mobiles, mer-
chants, peasants, etc.
