elderly Irish woman whose son is num-

Washington Post.
The young man, Patrick by name, a
private by rank and a Washingtonian,
was captured some time ago by La
drones, and when last seen was being
taken into the mountains, strapped to
a fierce-looking Filipino. Father Watt

he returned to Washington called upon
the bereaved mother to break the

Soon I noticed that it seemed to be

the foam and thick rush of other forms

that each time she rose it was with a

fell, peculiar good luck attended, Or
else it was that her superior sense and
