When l was boy in Tipperary they
used to tell story to account for the
observance of the saints feast on that
particular day. This legend was to
the effect that there was once dis

death. With an ardor similar to that
which in ~pires those who in literary
circles today argue for or against tho
lunacy of Hamlet. two great factions
of Irishmen debated as to whether
the saint died on the 9Th or the 9th
OF March. Things waxed warm. az

Half hypnotized, Amber opened his
mouth, but no words came. His chin
dropped to his breast.
"Thy strength must be known to my
peoples; they must see thee put to the
proof thy courage. that they may know
thee to be the man for their.

He was unable to move a finger.

The voice rang imperative.

Somehow, mechanically. he succeed

them rigid before him. Alarmed by
the movement, the cobra turned with
a hiss, waving his poisonous head. But
the virginian made no offer to with

A subdued murmur came from the
men clustered round the idols, in
semi-darkness.
The bell doomed forth like an organ.

Before Amber the great serpent was
oscillating like a pendulum, its little
tongue playing like forked red light
ming. its loathsome red eyes holding
his own.
Look well, o death. and Judge
him!"
The dance of the hooded death
changed in character, grew more fren-
zied; the white writhing coils melted
into one another in dizzying confusion:
figure merged into figure like smoke.

Amber was watching the serpent
dazed and weary as II with a great
need Of sleep. Even the salvos OF
shouts came to him as from q great
distance. To the clangor of the bell
alone he had become abnormally SEN

1t returned to its solemn and stately
informing.
"Out Of ye all have I chosen and

The voice addressed itself directly
to the kneeling man. He stiffened and
reused.
