st. Patrick Was n Gentleman.
Saint Patrick was a gentleman, and b.

In Dublin town he built a church and be

His father was a Wollogan, his mother

His aunt she was a Kinnigsn and hi,
wife the widow Brady.

The toads went hop, the frogs went flop
slapdash into the water,
And the snakes committed suicide to save
themselves from slaughter.
Nine hundred thousand reptiles blue, be

And dined on them at Kal-la-loe In soup.

with a little sigh. 1t needs many i'm

But John was ambitious and there

one day he came homes and said he

summoned to the hospital and taken
his dying deposition.
We journeyed to London by the next
up train. At the hospital it did not
need the nurses fingers to her lips to
make us cautious. If ever death was
written on a face it appeared on that
of the boy who lay herewith a com
plexion almost the color of the pillow
his head rested on.
I believed. after ALL that my theory
was the correct one: the boy had taken
fright and made a bolt for it. But,
lying there, he said differently; that his

THE really guilty man has at last
confessed to the crime"
A SILVER ran over me-due to dsap-
pointment! l had been forestalled by
the official police. They, thought, had
got hold of the boy. His confession had
been laid before the authorities. This
was the freedom 1 had counted on pro-
curing myself
Then l heard all the governor knew.
The boy was lying in St Thomas hos
pital at the point of death. There had
been an accident; magistrate had been
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-30

When I accused him he vehemently
denied that he had been out of London
on the night of the murder.
That baffied me. Suspicion about the
head clerk revived. There seemed to
be a desire on his part to shield the
man in JAIL and yet reluctance to fix
the crime on the junior clerk.
Descending the stairs, 1 interviewed
the landlady; but drew a blank. Her
dodgers, she said, had latchkeys; they
might come in and go out a dozen
times a day without her being a bit
the wiser.
So it became necessary to prosecute
my inquiries further afield. AS a re-
suit of them 1 mentally apologized to
the head clerk. He came cut of the
Investigation clean enough. 1t was
kindness of heart, suppose, that made
him try to shield the boy.
The latter it was who had used the
dagger He had not slept at his lodg
ings on the night of the murder. That
was he number one l nailed down
although he was artful enough to be
found in bed by the servant there the
next morning.
He had journeyed down the night
before to the junction, three miles from
the hall, and returned by a train which
called there in the early morning.
Arrived in town, he let himself into
the house at the time when the early
milkmen were on their rounds-the
evidence of one of the latter clinched
that part of the story.
1t was a bad condition of affairs.
Bad to tell the prisoner, worse to tell
the father, and might have the effect
OF making the girl give up her lover.
But, then, that was mere sentiment.
one has no right to allow such a thing
to enter into business.
By the time I completed my inquir-
les the boy had bolted. That rather
fouled the course l was on. Not that
1 cared so much about the guilty man
escaping-I was retained for the de-
Tense, you see. But to enable me to
prove the accused mans innocence,
l wanted just five minutes with the
guilty one.
If in the course of that interview
obtained a written confession, it would
mean the speedy release of my client
Quick work means good pay-and I
may remark that I am not in the de-
tective business for my health.
With view to cheering the prisoner
a bit, I went down to the Jail where
he was confined. To my huge aston
ishment, instead of rejoicing at what
I had to say, he beWailed about the
boy more than he had done about
himself!
"This disgrace" he said will break
the heart of the girl who is all that is
on earth to me. Better that I should
continue to suffer, rather than that a
second grief should assail her, She
must never know the truth"
They knew me at the Jail, and had
given me the privilege usually accorded
to lawyers only; that is to say, my in
terview with the prisoner was taking
place in the solicitors room. To that,
in the midst of our conversation, came
the Jail governor.
Congratulations, Mr.. Carylon," he
said, advancing to his captive and
shaking hands. "a home warrant has

in the prison 1 was rather disappointed
in him. 1 could see nothing of the

ever, was taught the truth of the pro-
verb concerning the mistake of trust
ing to appearances.
