applied for pension In the course Of

In this instance. The scent of an
other attempted pension fraud came to
the sensitive nostrils of the depart
ment, and the sleuths were set to
work. Bergin told his story, once,
twice and a hundred times with no
variation. although subjected to all Of
the tests ever put to q ''pretender to
the throne" But because the sinewy
soldier refused to stay under the sod
where the roll OF his regiment had
placed him. and where his home was
recorded by the sculptors who carved
his name on the monuments, Uncle
Sam was at length convinced and sat
isfied to transfer It from his book Of
dead to that Of the living. The pa
triot for whom friends had mourned
was thus legally raised from the dead
and Is now receiving q pension Of
s17.50 per month.
Bergin is an interesting character
and Is fun of the proverbial Irish
wit. which dances and sparkles in his
clear Celtic eye and trembles on his
tongue. crippled though it be from lss

regained consciousness during the

for him partially to stanch the fiow Of

which he managed to pluck with his
hands. He then relapsed into uncon-
sciousness, but was still this side Of
