Instantaneously the whole procession
began to sing the refrain. and the peo-
pie in the street and those in the
wagons and carriages and those lean
ing from the windows Joined with one
accord. The ringing bells caught the
time Of the song. and the upper air
eeverberated in the rhythm.
The Harkless club Of Carlow
wheeled into Main street. 300 strong.
with their banners and transpaTencies.
Lige Willetts rode at their head. and
behind him strobe William Todd and
Parker and Ross Schofe!d and Newt
Tibbs and Hartley Bowlder, and even
Bud Tipworthy held place in the
ranks through his connection with the
Herald. They were ali singing. and
behind them Helen saw the Tag eoS-
, cred barouche and her father, and be-
side him sat John HarklesS. with his
head barred. She glanced at Briseoe.

It was one Of the great crowds OF
Carlow-'s history. Since noon an al
most uninterm:etent procession OF pc
destrians and vehicles had been making
its way to the station. and every was-

had its tlags or bunting or streaner Of
ribbons tied to the whip. The excite
ment increased as the time grew short
er. Everybody was struggling for a
better position. The people in wagons
and carriages stood upon the seats. and
the pedestrians besiesed them. climbing
on the wheels or balancing recklessly
with feet on the hubs OF opposite wag-
onS Everybody was bound to see him.
When the whistle announced the COM
ing Of the train the band began to play,
the cannon fred, horns blew and the
cheering echoed and re-echoed till heav.
ems vault resounded with the noise

There was one heart that almost
stopped beating. Helen was standing
, on the front seat Of the Briscoe buck
board, with Minnie beside her, and at
the commotioa the horses pranced and
backed 60 that Lige Willetts ran to hold
| them. But Helen did not notice the
frightened roans nor did she know
that Minnie clutched her round the
waist to keep her from falling. Her
eyes were fixed intently on the smoke
Of the faraway engine, and her hand
lifted to her face in an uncertain,
temulous fashion. as II was one day
in a circus tent, was laid against the
deepest blush that ever mantied girls
cheek When the train reached the
platform she saw Briscoe and the 9th
ers rush into the bunting covered car
and there ensued what was to her ar
almost intolerable pause OF expecta
ton while the crowd assaulted the win
dows of the smoker. haping up and
climbing on each others shoulders tc
