Dublin.-It isn't every day that the
people of Dunshaughlin, quiet little

entertain young sprig of the aris-

come they rise to the occasion. They

he was dressed In the most approved
motoring outfit and was smoking q

introduced himself to the master OF
the workhouse as "the Hon. DR..

that he is the son OF a peer, and
this young man looked the part.
The master was extremely sorry
DR.. Reilly's motor car was not in at
the time. and he offered to lend DIR.
Moore" his own bicycle, which offer
was accepted DIR Moore" rode OF
and sold the bicycle in the village

themselves to make his aristocratic
friend comfortable. lie stayed for
lunch and. in fact, stayed so long that
he had to borrow Lord Dunsany's mo

discovered just before his departure
that he was ridiculously short Of
money. so he allowed Lord Dunsany's
noGse steward to advance him $40 to
see him through until the banks open

When he got to Phoenix park be
dismissed Lord Dunsany's chauffeur,
saying he would walk across the park

master and the innkeeper and Lord
Dunsany's steward are all anxiously
