a long essay on the rarity of the instru-

finally succeeded in getting SIS loan on it
for two weeks. Before he left he urged
the money-lender to be very careful Of
the violin, as he would not lose it for
hundreds Of dollars. The broker placed
the fiddle in his safe and instructed his

said he was a collector Of rare vioins,

Three Years Ago She Visited These
America for the Irish-Her Visit
to BE Made the Occasion for Anti

to Present Plans.
The United Irish, German and Holland
societies of New York are making eIabo-

Miss Come will be readily remembered
as the young woman. who has long been
known as the Irish Joan Of Arc" This
title was given her by the people of Ire
land in appreciation OF her ardent espous.
al Of the cause of their independence.
This will not be the first visit that Miss
Come has made to America. Three
years ago she came here on a lecturing
tour endeavoring to arouse in the "sons
of Ireland in America the spirit of 9s
which dominated their ancestors in their
great struggle of 1885," and to solicit
means for the alienation Of the misery
of those who were then in destitute cir
cumstances in the Emerald isle
Miss Comes coming this time is to be
made the occasion of an anti-British
demonstration. IL the plans Of the various
committees are carried out. Ever since
the beginning Of hostilities in the Trans
vaal she has been conducting pro-Boer
agitation in her native land. advising the
young men of Ireland to keep out Of the
English army; and 1t is said that the at

It was when she was only fourteen
years old that Maude Come came into
her home one day and Informed her
father that she was going ito do some
thing for Ireland yet" This state

it was considered very strange indeed
that the only child's idea should be so

LIFE FOR IRELAND.
But Maude Come had been brought
up under the influences of the beautiful
scenery of Ireland and knew and loved
every spot surrounding her beautiful
home at Glengariff. During her visits to
the homes of the peasants she had heard
wonderful tales of O'Connell, the lib.
orator, and stories of the daring of the
rebels, and the redcoats, during the ter
rible years Of the great war. Being
very impressicnistic child, these tales af
fected her greatly. and Maude Come re-
solved that If there was any one goal in
life toward the attainment Of which she
would devote all her powers it would be
the independence of Ireland.
But soon after her dramatic declaration
