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
he went to his knees with a cry that
was 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

gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply enfolded his neck

to her bosom, and as If that were not
enough, kissed him full and long upon
his lips.

in French. What has happened. o.

Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been
a douche of cold water In his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that it was all dream.
And yet. when he looked, it was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face of woman as beauti-
full as young, as young as beautiful.
One glance was enough. O'Rourke

man, was not utterly delighted with
the situation. The circumstances TAX

mind he thought not unreasonable;
and being now to some extent recov-
cred, he saw no profit in making her
suffer more. So with a show of
faintness not wholly assumed, he
rolled his head to one side. opening
wide his eyes and looked the woman
in the face, inquiring with his faint,
thin brogue: Whats this, now, me

Judge DonneIly's Amusing Experience
With the Sharp Irish Cab

the civil court. in illustrating an Irish
mans idea of wit. told a story of an
adventure with an Irish hack driver in
Dublin, relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.

said. The driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states, aren't

Danny stole sidelong glance at the
girl. ''Beggin' yer honor's pardon" he

"Ah-h!" observed O'Rourke darkly.
One by one, it seemed, he was gather

hand. He resumed his catechism of
the boy
Danny, is this the way a decent
man should be behaving himself?" he
browbeat him. rs 1t your mothers

Alone. ORourke seated himself on
the edge of the fountain and consid-
cred gravely the uncertainties of life.
''Tis fate" he concluded soberly, at
length. And It's hard upon eleven

cargo before midnight; and-meself

Danny was back with the promised

And while O'Rourke dressed, and for

smoked and confabulated, talked of
