"Ahi" he sighed, resuming his seat
but rising again, and quickly. as a
second summons changed upon Fthe
iron door and sent the girl flying to-
wards the rear of the house.

O'Rourke opined as she swept past
him.
She murmured a response he did
not clearly catch. Whats that?' he
called after her.
"Or, possibly" she repeated, pausing
at the entrance to the rear chamber.

CUT RATE FOR AN AMERICAN
Judge DonneIIy's Amusing Experience
With the Sharp Irish Cab
Driver In Dublin.

Chief Justice Joseph G. Donnelly of
the civil court, in illustrating an Irish
mans idea of wit, told story Of an
adventure with an Irish hack driver in
Dublin. relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.
81 asked him how much he would
take to drive me to Hotel -" he
said. The driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states. aren't
you" | answered yes
"Well. he said, since you are from
the states, and I've driven nothing but
Englishmen all day, I'll drive you to
the hotel for three shillings.'
"As l thought that was reasonable,
l got into the hack. We drove on and
on for hours, over hills and across
streams, until we finally got to the
hotel. While driving, wondered at
the difference between this hack
driver and those in America, and won
dered what an American hack driver
would say If / were to hand him three
shillings for such a long ride.
81 went to bed and slept sound that
night. When | woke up early in the
morning, ! went down and out on the
front steps. l almost tainted, for d.
rectly in front of the hotel was the
self-same depot that l arrived at on
the train. / suppose the hack driver
thought he was having a pile of fun
while driving me around the city and

"Ah-h!" observed ORourke darkly.

hand. He resumed his catechism of

Alone, ORourke seated himself on

cred gravely the uncertainties of life.
"'Tis fate" he concluded soberly, at
length. "And It's hard upon eleven
now. They will not dare to run that
cargo before midnight; and-meself

Deliberately he stripped off rags and
tatters and plunged into the fountain.
Danny was back with the promised
wearing apparel ere he had finished

smoked and confabulated, talked of

I'll lead 'em away and be wild ye again
in a brace av shakesl"
Benumbed by fatigue and exhaus-
ton. O'Rourke obeyed. He was aware
that his preserver with wild whoop
had darted aside into a cross-alley, but
hardly aware of more. Mechanically
he blundered on until brought up by
a wall that closed and made Guide.
sac of the way.
With trembling hands he felt before
him. fingers encounterlng the smooth.
cool surface of sheet of metal This,
then was the door AS carefully as
he could he knocked, counted ten, and
knocked again-while the mob that
had lusted for his blood trailed of
down the side alley in frantic pursuit
of his generous preserver And be
heard with a smile. the latter's shrill
defiant Irish yells Turing them further
upon the false scent.

venturer, then myself's not the
O'Rourkel Bless the lad!"
But as he breathed this benediction
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
fainting hardly conscious that he had
done more than pass from open night
to the night Of an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
be went to his knees with cry that
was a cross between a sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor, his head
pillowed on his arm, painting as If his
heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, a startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with a clang
and rattle of bolts. A match rasped
loudly and a flicker of light leaped
from a small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
a low exclamation of soHcitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom, and as if that were not
enough, kissed him full and long upon
his lips.
my dear! My dear!" she murmured
in French. What has happened, %,
what has happened? My poor, poor
boyl"
Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been
douche of cold water In his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that it was all a dream.
And yet, when he looked, 1t was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face of a woman as beauti-
full as young. as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke
shut his eyes again. ''If | look too
long," he assured himself, she'll van
ish or-or turn into fiend Sure, It's
a judgment upon me! Too long have
| been an amorous dram-drinker; this
will undoubtedly be the delirium-tre-
mems of Lowell"
And with that he passed quietly into
temporary Inconsistencies.

hotel. Leaning on the balcony he sees a
beautiful girl who suddenly enters the
elevator and passes from sight. AT the
gaming table O'Rourke notices two men
watching him. One Is the Hon. BERTHE
Glynn, while his companion is Viscount
Des Trebes, duelist. The viscount tells
him the French government has directed
him to O'Rourke as a man who would
undertake a secret mission. At his apart
ment, O'Rourke. who had agreed to UNI
dertake the mission, finds a mysterious
letter: The Viscount arrives, hands
sealed package to O'Rourke. who is not
to open II until on the ocean. A pair of
dainty slippers are seen protruding from
under a doorway curtain. The Irishman
finds the owner of the mysterious feet to
be his wife. Beatrix. from whom he had
run away a year previous. They are
reconciled, and opening the letter he finds
that Rangoon law firm offers him
100000 pounds for a jewel known as the
Pool of Flame and left to him by a dy-
ing friend, but now in keeping of one
banned Chambret In Algeria. O'Rourke
Worsts the nobleman in duel. The wife
bids O'Rourke farewell and he promises
covers both Glynn and the viscount on
board the ship. AS he finds Chambret
there is an attack bv bandits and his
friend dies telling O'RourIe that he has
general, who at sight of a signet ring
given the colonel will deliver over the
Jewel. Arriving at Algeria the Irishman
finds the governor general away Des

and tells O'Rourke that he has gained

strolling Greek, who grappled with
him, at first in surprise and then in
resentment, while the clamor Of the
pursuing rabble shrilIed loud and

Exhausted as he was, the Irishman
struggled with little skill before he
mastered his own surprise; and in the
end saw his fms written along the
blade of thin. keen knife which the
Greek mad whipped from the folds of
his garments and jerked threateningly
above his head.
