"Succat," replied the youth. "SiX
years ago l was carried by the war
bands into slavery from Bannavem,
which is in Britain, with many another
captive. And ever since have prayed
without ceasing, both by day and by
night, for delivernnce. And 10! yester-
day, as 1 prayed, a voice bade me flee
to the coast; for it said to me: Your
ship is ready and waiteth.' And /
came, and it was even SO. Take me
with you to Britain, and my kindred
will pay full ransom; for am of good
family, and my father was decurion
when he lived"
Then said Alp: ut matters little
about decurions, now that the legions
are gone But 1 like thy name, for it
smacks of battle and of victory; and it
may be that you speak true. AT least,
curse us not, but come into the boat
and eat; and if the storm presently
abate, you shall make your own terms
with u.s."
So Succat came into the ship; and
ere the moon had risen, we had put
out to sea with gracious wind at our
backs.
Three days we were upon the sea;
and on the first day, and the second,
the sky was fair above and we cleft
the waters with an even keel. But on
the third day Alp plotted against Sue
cat, and he veered northward, meaning
to sell the youth among the barbar-
ians-the fierce heatben of Caledonia
who withstood the armies of Caesar
and all his captains. And Succat, when
he saw by the stars that the course of
the ship was changed, clasped the
knees of Alp and besought him, weep
ing; but Alp thrust him away with
curses, and bound him with a thong.
Then l knew we'll how it should be;
and / said to Dargo--he it was who
had cast the first-"death shall come
to us because of Alp, and of thee that
Knocked his fasting"
And it came quickly. For the sea
rose and the sky was darkened, and
we fled before the wind and knew not
where we were. And in the darkness
I cut the thong that bound the arms
of Succat, and none knew of it.
And because we could not see, the
ship drove upon the rocks and was

ley slew US not, they made us cap

they slew us not, they made us cap
tive.
And here, on the first night, vision
came to Succat. For he told me that
in his sleep he heard n voice--the same
that bade him seek the ship lying hid
in the bay of Killala; and it said to
him: you shall be two months with
them" l doubt not it was an angel
thatspal1e to him, for on the Goth day he
was ransomed by his kindred, and they
led him away.
after a time, L too found deliverance
from captivity; but never since have
seen the face of Succat. With great
Joy have 1 heard of his mighty work in
Ireland; and know that /, Cuthan, am
not forgotten in his prayers, which
shall avail me more than my own. And
if any would i'll bespeall Patricius, let
him beware; for if they so speak in my
presence, l will emite them even at the
peril of my soul. But if amy will say
that in his youth Patricius consorted
with pirates and cast his lot with the
wolves of the sea, it is even so; for
among those pirates were found the
first fruits of his blessed ministry.

ST. PATRICK'S ESCAPE.
Events That Preceded His Miris-
try Related by Comrade.
Cuthnn, Son of Congnli, Writes of
His Comrade That He May Dis
pei EVIL Reports--First Fruits
of His Ministry.

l, Cuthan, son of Congall, write of
Succat, who is now called Patricius.
Out of love 1 write, although unskilled
and rude, my hand more at ease upon
the bullhook of the warrior than with
the goosequill of the monk. For l
knew Succat when he was not yet Pa
tricius, and we became as brothers.
Sooner would 1 spill my blood for his
sake than this ink which spattereth in
unseemly blots upon my parchment;
but because of evil reports gone out
from the lying lips of those who love
him not, 1 will relate the truth. For
they say Succat that was wayward in
his youth, boon companion of pirates,
and in no wise fit for the great work
he hath essayed. And he was in
deed cast among evil men, and like
Him whose steps he ever followed was
grievously tempted in the wilderness,
but sin could not prevail against him.
1, who walked by his side, bear him
witness.
Now l myself was wayward in those
days, fearing not God nor man; and
because of u blood-feud 1 fed from the
house of my kindred and joined my
self with a band of plunderers upon
the Narrow seas. Wild and fierce was
the life, but merry withal. Back and
forth over the waves we drove in our
long black galley; and the JOY of it is
in my veins to-day-may God forgive
me. Tonsured monk though be and
vowed, with Heavens grace, to devote
the remnant of my days to the works
of repentance, fear shall never see
the gates of Paradise unless it be
through the prayers of Succat.
For we drank our hot spiced wine
with bloody hands, and blazing byre
and flaming thatch were the torches
that lighted our revels. If the sea ran
high and we were like to founder we

broken. And when morning came we
stood together on the beach; and Sue
cat was with us, but of Alp we saw no
more.
And the ship lay high on the sands;
from it we took meat, as much as we
might, for our journey. For the land
was wilderness, wide and desolate.
Many days we iourneyed, and our feet
were weary, but we saw no man. There
was naught but stony hills and dusky
woods.
And when we had travelled twenty
days and one, there was no more meat.
| Then, while we hungcred, we found a
/ hollow tree, full OF honey. And as we
ate thereof and were glad, cast Il por-
ton upon the earth, saying: ut is an
Offering. Thanks be to the gods of this
/ place. who have sent us food" And
the rest did likewise.
/ But Succut, when he heard, sprang
/ 10 his feet and would eat no more, be-
/ cause it was made an Offering to the
( gods of the heathen. And / wept be-
/ cruse he would not eat, for his face was
| pinchcd and thin. But as we walked
| together he sought to comfort me, tell
| ing of the one true God, and of Him
| who died upon the cross; so that my
! heart was softened and l believed. OF
all the multitudcs that he hath led to
the gates of Heaven, / was the first
converted. And flung away the anu
let which / had about my neck, and
| Tnl1pnpo1 liy,, in, 41,n 1,a e e.,
est, and kissed his face.
And the third day after, we were
again without food. And we stood in q
circle about Succat; and the cheeks OF
the men were sunken. And they said
to him: 80 Christian, you say that
your God is great and mighty. Why,
> then, do you not pray for us? For our
gods are naught; there is no help in
them. We are perishing, and may
never see the face of man again"
Then said Succat-and his face shone
| like waters that are lighted by the
sun-"Turn to the Lord my God, To
whom nothing is impossible; and if We
be sincere He will succor you"
And they oil Inelt under the trees
and prayed aloud. And little after
just as the sun was setting, we came
upon great herd of swine. Thus was
our hunger satisfied; and we all cast
from us our vain idolntries and gave
thanks to God alone.
Thence, as we journeyed, the country
becamemore open; and the 2Sth day afte1
the breaking of the ship we came to the
abodes' of men. Fierce heathen they

The friends Of the lth Of April hope
and expect to have Il delightful time
upon that day, and while good num-
ber of Cards have been sent 10 the Pio-
neers and their descendants, it is not
intended that these alone are invited
for the wish is that any and all the
families in the town may present them
selves with their baskets on that day at
the Auditorium, and tickets will be
given them to the dinner. We hope to
make it time of general pleasure and
remembrance of that day of days, and
trust no family will feel themselves

have a good time. Address at II a. m.

cried out upon the ancient gods, but
the religion Of the Romans we tlouted,
for the lcgions were gone out of Brit
ain. In all our band there was not
one Chritian.
At length it CHANGED that we landed
in the bay of KilIala, close by the town
called Nagnata, where dwell the clans
men OF Ard ri, the king. Here, as we
lay under the shore, we saw a youth
approaching. His feet and arms and
head were bare, and his brown hair
strcamed in the gale--for the wind was
still violent and for that cause alone
we waited, lie was clad in a rough
cloak Of hide, and bore in his hand
shepherds crook; in that same hand
he now bearcth a crozier, rs they say,
no longcra herder Of beasts, but Of men.
His face, like mine own, was black
cncd with sun and storm, and il was
wasted with fasting; yet were fea-
lures fine and noble, like q chieltain's,
though we knew well that he was
slave and runaway. knew not why
it was, but from that hour loved him.
But Alp, our captain, looked on him
with sterner eyes. He liked not his
soft tones, and he scorned his words
of gentleness, wherewith ne besoupht
US to bear him across to Britain.
AWAY with you, sheep dog" he
cried. NO such lean cur can whine a
passage here, Back TO your master, or
I'll send you yelping."
The others laughed; and l, though
grleved, was silent, for the hand of
Alp was heavy. For awhile the poor
