and finally its present name. It was
a Dutch invention, and was first
brought to England in 1905 Thimbles
were formerly made only OF iron and
brass, but i'll comparatively late years
they have been made of gold, silver,
steel, horn, ivory, and even glass and
pearl. In China beautifully carved
pearl thimbles arc seen, bound with
gold and with the end of gold. The
first thimble introduced into Siam was
bridal gift, from the king to the
queen. 1t was shaped like a cactus
bud, made of gold and thickly studded
with diamonds arranged to spell the
queens name.

shal's and the Doctors. So firm was
his belief in Murgatroyd's guilt that
he had heretofore left McCloud entirely
out of his calculations.
Before Lenyard could follow up his
startling announcement with an ex-
PLANTATION, the sallow-faced clerk
pushed into the room, paused, and
looked around him, aghast at the dis
order.
"Where's-where's Murgatroyd?" he
asked.
eve don't want Murgatroyd now,'
said Lenyard and drew close to the
clerk and whispered to him.
The clerk whispered a reply, five
words of which Darrell happened to
ovcrhear-"down the hall--tuclsercd
out" Who was down the hall and
tuckered out? Darrell reused himself
with freshened interest.
"This is most astounding, young
man." said he to Lenyard, with jecr-
ing incredulity.

times" returned Lenyard.

cry Impotence. "These gentlemen

What was the ruse?" asked Len
yard.
The doctor told him, with now and
then a word from derrick.
When the recital was finished, ex-
pressive looks flashed between the
clerk and Lenyard.
1.-THE marking Of those bullets" de-
clared Lenyard. "proves that McCloud
killed Sturgis.'

the fact that the revolver would now
be found upon him-barring the tech
nical point that 1t had been out of his
possession for the four weeks-would
prove his guilt.
The technical point, which Murga-
troyd could not prove without barrels
help, was the only thing that could
throw cloud over barrels theory
Darrell was just asking himself how he
should .roceed in dealing with that
phase of the question when another
diversion occurred.
Roy Lenyard stepped into the room
and moved resoiutely toward tho group

Priest, patriot and martyr closely
pressed.
Mans foolish fury broke in waves
above thee,
Against thy freedom and against
thy creed,
But the good God who led from
Egypts bondage
Still held thee up in all thine hours
of need.
Over thy face destruction wrought It's
havoc,
Piled all the land with ruins of thy
fame,
Fouled ev'ry temple where thy chill

Doomed thee to darkness and re-
viled thy name!
Oceans of blood baptized thy verdant
valleys,
Death followed those who strove to
set thee free;
Dungeon and acknowledgements of
tyrants-
These were the gifts thy rulers gave
to thee.
And did they break thy Spartan spirit,
Erin?
And did they crush thy hope of be-

Answer, We scaffolds, red with mar

Answer, We millions, glad to die for
thee!
One is the prayer among thy scat

One the fond hope OF ev'ry Irish
heart,
That justice soon may rise in full

For all the wrongs of which thou'st
borne thy part.
Back to thy soil so sacred and so holy
Where patriot dust lies thick be-

Where millions slumber in their SER

For loyalty to freedom and to God
Thy exiled children turn as to Zion
For strength and courage in thy
righteous fight
Against the foes who still pollute thy
temples
And desolate thy soil with alien
Oh, Erin! while to thee thy soil is
holy
A Calvary where thy children

There's promise of a gladstone resur-

A freedom tint to thy long darkened

Thou'st nursed the mem'ries of thy
great-souled martyrs;
The flame they kindled thou hast
kept alive;
Thou'st kept the faith, the pledges,
the hope, they left thee,
Else how midst constant death
couldst thou survive?
