poured in their volleys and waited.
But Reno made no move. Weir and
Brant, determined to hold every inc
thu gained, threw the dismounted
men on their faces behind every pro-
lection of earth, and encircled the
ridge with fame. If they could not
advance, they would lot be driven
back. Messenger after messenger,
taking life in hand, was sent skurry-
ing down the bluff, to beg reinforce
ments to push on for the rescue,
swearing it was possible. But it was
after five o'clock before Rem moved.
Then cautiously he advanced his col
umn toward where N and D troops yet
held desperately to the exposed ridge.
He came too late. That distant firing

advance had ended. Scarcely had re-

and comeliest. It's more than seven
feet tall he was, and the hair of his
proud head fell like FURNISHED gold
to his shoulders. Upon his brow was
golden fillet, and a collar of red gold
encircled his neck. Patrick knew well
that it was Oisin and no other that
stood before him. AS the saint gazed
the apparition raised its right hand
high above its head with the open
palm toward Patrick. And it's how
it stood there smiling a little minute
and then disappeared through the
cloud the way the others had gone.
AS it did that the mists lifted, and
Patrick went out to where the figure
of the old man was lying, and it's how
he lay with his lips to the ground and
he cold and dead.
Now that was the greatest miracle

his wonderful story to the clerics Pat
rick took him by the hand and led
him the ways to Ath Cliath, where for
three days Oisin listened to Patrick
Of the bells preaching to the princes
and to the people.
On the fourth day of the preaching,
when Patrick was getting ready to
baptize the people it's what he said
to Oisin:
Come out now with the others, son
of Finn. till l baptize you and save
you from the torments of hell, for If
enter heaven"
But tell me first, Patrick of the
white book, where are the Fianna-

of Roman. and Finn. my father-are
they in your heaven?"
NO. answered Patrick, their likes
would not be let into heaven. they
died unbaptized. They are prisoners
in deep hell, suffering the torments
of fire"
A spot of red anger burned on
either cheek of Oisin. and it's what he
answered:
Then keep your heaven for your
self. o Patrick of the crooked staff,
and for the likes of these i'll singing
clerics; as for myself, l want none
of it. l will go to this hell you speak
about to be with Finn. my father, and
my son, Oscar, and the friends of my
youth
And Oisin could not understand at
all the tears in Patrick's eyes nor the
trouble in his voice as the saint an
swered him:
THE mercy of God is more wonder
full than all his works. Oisin, this
night you will be christened with
Finn, your father, and with your loved
comrades of the Fianna; your high
loyalty to them has conquered heaven.
Come with me now to the ford
At that he led the old pagan's falter-
ing steps into the shallow stream and
baptized him there When that was
done he bade Olson return to the wa
ter's edge and wait for him there.
But Patrick remained in the water
praying. Three times he raised his
arms toward heaven, then bowed his
head again and waited.
When he did that heavy, luminous
mist settled on either bank of the
stream. Presently the figure of a
giant warrior with shield, and sword,
and spears of ancient make, stood at
the rivers edge outlined against the
mist. And Patrick knew by the kings
crown that was upon the warriors
forehead that it was no other than the
great Finn, son of Cumhull himself,
that was in it. And the warrior came
into the stream and bent his knee be-
fore PJtrick, and Patrick baptized
him there. Then followed Oscar of
the strokes, and Cairrioll of the white
skin, and Faolan the liberal, and
Conan of the sharp tongue, and
Caoilte of the flaming hair, and his
seven sons. And as each passed he
bent his knee in the flood and Patrick
sprinkled the water on his forehead
and spoke the words that changed
him into a child of God.
When the last figure melted away
into the haze Patrick knew that his
task was ended. But as he turned
