Mr. Maitland did not enjoy his dinner.
Anxious and preoccupied he tasted the
dishes mechanically. and when they had
all passed before him took his thoughts
and a cigar to gloomy corner of the
smoking room. where he sat for two solid
hours debating the matter pro and con.
and arriving at no conclusion whatever,
save that Higgins was doomed.
At ten-fifteen he began to contemplate
with positive pleasure the prospect of d g.
charging the butler. That, at least, was
action. something that he could do; wher-
ever else he thought to move he found
mystery, or by his fear of publicity and
ridicule.
At ten-twenty he decided to move upon
Greenfields at once, and telephoned
O'Hagan advising him to profess ignor-
anCe of his employers whereabouts
At ten-twenty-two. or in the midst OF
his adrnontions to the janitor, he changed
his mind and decided to stay in New
York. and instructed the .Irishman to
bring him a suit case containing a few
necessaries. his intention being to stay
out the night at the club, and so avoid
the natutinal siege of his lodgings by re-
porters and detectives.
At -forty-five a club servant handed
him the card of representative of the
Evening Journal. Maitland directed that
the gentleman be shown into the recep-
ton room.
At ten-forty-six he skulked out of the
club by a. side entrance. jumped into q
cab and had himself driven TO the East
34th street ferry. arriving there just in
time to miss the last train for Green.

Stood a shrine, and the folks came

And they knelt down on the pavement
When the church bell called to

Every heart has it's own grief,
And they knelt before the statue,
Praying heaven to give relief.

God rest his good soul. But why was
he ignorant? Through his own fault?
Never! The tyrannous government un.

hatred of everything Irish, made it a
crime for him to be learned.
He realized his condition, and when
he came to this land he determined
his son should not suffer as he had
suffered through lack of knowledge.
Pats son is not tending bar any more
than is Jonathan's or Edwards or
Hans or Pierre's. He has climbed the

country today, and he does things.
Pats granddaughter is teaching
