Annie accepted the suggestion read
lily. She was not avcrSe to some such
pilOtagc. In the wake of this distin
guished couple they crossed the office,
traversed the corridor beyond and
turned toward the dining room.
The tall stranger paused ut the ell
trance Of the ladies' clOakroOm and
bowed with gentle reverence as his
companion passed in. Doyle immedi-
ately executed a similar maneuver, not
without grace, and then followed his
guide into the gentlemen's room, where
the stranger removed his Overcoat, but
instead of Intrusting it to the attend
ant he laid it over his own arm. Doyle
followed this example, which seemed
good to him. He thought that the at
tendant was sleepy and stupid look
ing animal, and he was not sorry that
etiquette permitted him to keep his
overcOat under his own care.
Following the stranger back to the
door of the clOakrOom, he found Annie
and the short woman ready. Both were
carrying their wraps.
Instead of turning toward the dinin"
room, the guides now led the way up
a broad fight Of marble steps to the
second floor.
II guess the really swell banquet
hall is up here" whispered Doyle.
II hope nobody's having Il private
banquet in it," responded Annie.
At the head of the stairs the diStin-
guished strangers turned to the left
and traversed a long corridor, at the
end of which they turned to the right
and walked the whole width of the no.

CRY enough before. Why. what does
this mean? They're putting on their
things again"
1t was true. The tall gentleman was
getting into a fur lined coat and the
lady into her wrap, which she supple
mcnted with n beautiful neck piece of
sable. Annie clutched Doylc's arm
hard. Where did she get that:" she
whispered. at isn't hers, and il isn't
the one she wore when she went into
the cloakroom."
At this moment the strangers, who
had paused beside an elevator shaft,
got aboard a descending car, and Doyle
and Annie, not knowing what else to
do, got in with them. They emerged
just beyond the office. having made in
the course of their wanderings on two
floors the complete circle of the hotel
"They're going out" exclaimed An
nic. "Rcally, we ought to do some
thing"
She started forward, and at the same
instant Doyle saw two men halt di-
rectly in front of the couple whom he
had been following. Doyle heard the
gentleman say: This is absurd. You
shall answer for this" Then a hand
was laid upon the young mans shoul-
der and gruff, low voice said: "YOu
too! Both of you. Come this way"
There was a single instant when
Doyle's mind was bent on slaughter;
then he perceived the folly of resisting

st. Patrick's Confession.

The following is the opening chapter
to st. Patricks confession. the first au-
photography written in the British Is
lands:
Il, Patrick, sinner. the rudest and
least of all the faithful and the most
inconsidcrable among many, had for
my father CalpOrnius, a deacon, the
son of Potitus, a presbyter. who lived
in the village of Banaven of Tibernia,
near the hamlet of EnOn, where l was
captured. | was about sixteen years
old, but | knew not the true God, and
| was led away into captivity into Hi
hernia with 4 great many men, accord
ing to our deservingS, for we had gone
away from God and had not kept his
commandments and We're not obedient
to our pastors, who admonished us of
our salvation. And the Lord brought
down upon us the anger of his Spirit
and scattered us among many nations
to the ends of the earth, where my
poverty was seen among strangers.
There the Lord opened to me sense of
my unbelief that | might remember my
sins and that | might be converted
with all my heart unto the Lord my
God, who had looked upon my humility
and had compassion on my youth and
ignorance, and who kept me until was
wise or could distinguish between good
and evil, and who kept and comforted
me as Il father would son."

was early at the board and she praised
the fare to her right hand neighbor.
She knew that it needed no praise to
Doyle.

"Well, | didr't care so much about
the dinner" responded Annie. looking
at Doyle out of the corner of her eye.
Il was more interested in the people.
You know you meet some of the best
people in the world at the Ardslcy.
Really it's an education to watch
them"
Don't" groaned Doyle.

DOYLE was spoiled by 100 great
and too swift prosperity, yet it
NAV be admitted that he made
] few unimportant mistakes while
he was adjusting himself to the
new conditions of his life. One of these
mistakes is connected with the dinner
which he didn't eat on the evening OF
st. Patrick's day. But l am getting
ahead of my story.
Mr.. Doyle is the young architect who
made sensation by winning first
place in the competition for design
for the new municipal building. Up to
six months before this triumph Doyle
was an employee of a firm of architects
decidedly third rate. He was utterly
obscure professionally, and he was
very poor, for he had earned his
education with this for his motto: I'D
rather put money into my brains than
into the bank" In the end he awoke
suddenly to find that the problem OF
his life had been gloriously solved.
Incidentally the problem of the life
of Mr. Patrick Carroll was solved also
Mr.. Carroll was a fine man on his own
account. and he had the great good for
tune to be the prospective father-in-
law of Leonard Doyle. He was mas
ter mason and had vcntured once or
twice to be contractor on small
scale With Leonard Doyle as architect
of the new building the luck must be
extremely hard if Patrick Carroll could
not get chance to turn an honest
penny in the course of its construction.
In fact. within very few months both
Doyle and Carroll saw themselves well
upon the way to pecuniary ease, if not
to actual wealth.
The young architect, whose design
had really made Il great hit with those
men of good taste who always fear the
worst in any public work, began to re-
ccive social attentions, and to fore
gather with the upper ten both i'll
and out of the profession, and, as he
was an OvermOdeSt fellow. his lack Of
social training gricved him exceeding
ly, as he confessed to Annie Carroll
one evening.
"You could 80 anywhere" said Doyle,

Every true" responded Doyle argu-
mcntatively. Its no disgrace to a
wOrkingman that his hands are rough,
but it is mortal disgrace TO him if he
says they aren't rough when they are.

For all Fires good clergy were come
To bury st. Patrick with pride,
And the sounds of the singing from

Cast them, sleeping, all round, far

UIis works Immortality make,
And on the first night after death
The angels of God watched his wake.
And when Patrick departed from life
To the other st. Patrick came he,
And to Jesus, of Mary the Son,
The two passed. bright and pure,
great and free.
In Patrick pride's stain was not found,
And great were the works that adorn
This good son of Christ-Mary's Son!
With Gods blessing st. Patrick was
born.
