A PRIEST A MECHANIC, TOO.
Mends All Kinds of Machinery, Inciud.
ing Automobiles and Bicycles.

Near the northern coast of France
on a route much frequented by motor
lists, lies the village of Graincourt
Here beautiful little church is set
high among the trees, with tower re-
flected TRANQUILITY in a lake that sleeps
beside the road and cemetery half
buried in verdure. Close by is the
home of the priest. and around it a
strange litter of bicycles motor cycles,
automobiles, oil cans and tools. while
the open doors of an outbuilding re-
veal on one side a kind of garage, on
the other repair shop. From this
building, as the tourist approaches,
comes a tall figure, with the body of an
athlete and the head of a missionary
with bright eyes and grizzled beard,
kindly smile, and muscular arms
barred to the elbow. Is this the cure
of Graincourt or is it the village me-
chanic? He is BOTH Times are hard
since the law separating Church from
State went into effect, and one must
live explains the cure.
M. le Cure is no martyr, however
His father was a smith, and he grew
up with a passion for tools. When the
bicycle came in he became an amateur
specialist. and for fifteen years he has
been mending punctured tires and re-
pairing broken pedals for his flock
free Of charge. Then came the motor
car, with its mysterious life so pow
erful in it's frail envelope. The motor
car won the heart of the cure. He
loves it, and thinks he understands it,
He has even built a car and a motor
cycle for himself
And so the fame of the mechanical
cure Of Graincourt has gone abroad
throughout all the country, and at last
he has decided, without any scruple, to
make a business Of what had formerly
been pastime He believes in his SIM
pie soul that he can be just as good
priest, can administer the sacraments
and hear confessions just as we'll while
he earns his living with his ten An

The Wrong Paper.

Il have been engaged in the prac-
tice Of law good many years." said
S. S. Urmy, police judge Of Topeka,
Kan. 'and about the most humorous
thing | ever saw in a courtroom was
in Topeka.
Zone day an old negro man was be-
ing tried in the justice court-that
was before the Office of police judge
was created-and he demanded a trial
by a jury Of his peers. He could
neither read nor write, and the lawyer
insisted that the jury, to be his peers.
as required by law, must be unable
to read or write, too. To avoid dis
pute l agreed to it, but we had some
time finding twelve men in Topeka
who could neither read nor write.
But we did find them and the case
went to trial.
Before the jury retired took two
pieces Of paper and wrote guilty
on one piece and not guilty on the
other, and instructed the foreman of
the jury to destroy the one he did
not wish used and return the other
to me when the Jury reached a YER
dict The jury was out only few
minutes when it came in. The fore
man handed me a piece Of paper with
the word guilty written on it.
"'Well. gentlemen. you find him
guilty, do you?' l asked.

the jurymen. Then he added with dis

was gone through. The priest stood
by the side of the unhappy men, ad-
ministering the consultations of re-

receive my SOUL" and held the cruci-
fixes to their lips as near as their pin
ioned arms would permit them.
The bolt was drawn and the three
bodies dropped. But the drop was too
short. Allen, however. died instantly.
His neck was broken. Larkin strug-
gled. Calcraft and his assistant had to
complete their CHASTITY work in the pit
under the scaffold OBren was
breathing for three quarters of an hour
During the whole of that agonizing
period his hands We're clasped in the
tender, devoted hands of Father Gadd,
whose voice rang out increasingly in
prayers for the dying. The only wit
ness of this terrible scene was old
Warder Kirkland, who could do moth
ing but weep during the whole Of the
time. The end came at last But still
the good priest remained. Later in
the day he saw the remains of the
three devoted Irishmen consigned to
an unhallowed spot in the Jail, buried
in quicklin1e.
It is no wonder that wherever Irish
men foregather, whether it be on the
hillsides of Ireland. in the imperial
cities in the heart of the empire, by
the long wash of Australasian waters
or in the blacks woods of America, the
name of Monsignor Gadd is cherished
with a tenderness and an affection that
are undying.
