AT MICHAEL DAWTT'S GRAVE
Tribute Paid by ExiIed Irish In Amer
lea Has Stirred Enthusiasm of
Friends of the Patriot.

Every local effort to do honor to the
memory of Michael Davitt has been
eclipsed, says Dublin correspondent,
by the message which Patrick F. Hast
ings, prominent member of the A. O..
H., has conveyed from the Mayo Mems
societies of New York to their compa-
triots at home.
Pilgrimages to the grave of Davitt
have become a common feature of
western celebrations, but the appear
ance of representative from the
United States placing wreath on
Davitt's tomb Is so unique an incident
that the whole Of the County of Mayo
has been stirred to unprecedented
depths of patriotic emotion.
People who have not hitherto
through a variety of circumstances
found it convenient to travel to the
last resting place of the dead patriot
came along to witness the ceremony
and mark their appreciation of the
thoughtfulness and patriotic spirit that
moved their exiled brethren in far
away New York. AS became the oc-
casion, certain amount of solemnity
was observed, but the strains of nu-
merous bands playing patriotic airs
sent the people home in anything but
a melancholy mood.
Nothing arouses Irish enthusiasm
more than the feeling that the exiled
Irish do not forget those whom they
have left at home In the old land.

would take back the house. He said
that was where the profits came in,
and that he couldn't give away ex-

purchasers were going to default"

gloomily.
"Yes, dear, and II you remember,
the removal company told you you
could get a van f1ve dollars cheaper
on that day than any other. And we
have had nothing but Ill luck ever
since we came"
Elsie drew out her handkerchief
and began to cry.
Their i'll luck had, indeed, been
phenomenal. Johns business had
steadily dwindled, sickness had eaten
into their little reserve, the house had
needed repairs which Simpson re-
fused to make. The estate firm made
its money that way, as the agent had
truly said; 1t gave good value and
watched its captives slowly lose their
homes. The class of purchasers with
whom 1t dealt was frequently in need
of funds; when this need became i'm
perative, Simpson & Co. took back
the property under the cunningly
drawn clauses of the contract.

That was a far as John could go.
They engaged a little city fiat,
which they found they could obtain
without prepayment. They were to
move in on the 21st. Elsie was too
heartbroken to stay out the entire
month. AS for Simpson, when he
heard the news he rubbed his hands
and grinned.

"Yes, do" John answered morose-

DEFIEO EVIL GENIUS
By PETER BROWN.

Seems to me that people are get
ting tired of being insured" said
John Hambleton to his pretty wife,
Elsie, as he hung up his hat and took
off his overcoat. He cast himself
down 1isconsolately upon the lounge
and Elsie sat down beside him.
Poor business today, dear?" she
asked, with her arms round his neck.
Not a cent" answered her hus-
band. "Nor yesterday, either. Hardly
ten dollars worth this week. How
are we going to make the next pay

Elsie looked about her, at the pret-
ty living room, with the ivy tendrils
peeping in at the window, at the
flower beds outside, gay with gerani-
ums. 1t was not big house, but 1t
was an uncommonly comfortable one,
and it was conveniently situated with

They had been lured into the coun-
try by an advertisement of a firm of
real estate agents, which stated that
new house, with every conven-
ience," could be purchased for three
hundred dollars down, and a little
more than ten times that sum "the
same as rent" John Hambleton had
paid off about two thousand dollars,
and now it seemed as though his
home was to be taken away. The
receipts from his business were
steadily dwindling
Perhaps it was the diversity Of his
interests that made him unsuccess-
full. After all, it is difficult to argue
convincingly upon the necessity Of
taking out burglar insurance when
you have just been telling another
man that the greatest danger to a
house comes from fire. And John

of insurance-life, accident, fire, and
burglary. SO here he was at thirty.

5marted so long under their misfor
tunes-one after another, and all un-

pleasure in defying their evil genius,

The day arrived; the house was
emptied and locked, and the house

a tropical thunderstorm, Elsie and
John made their way to the station
Wet to the skin, they took their
seats and, too wretched to talk,

The hoodoo was still at work
They reached town without an ac-

them to their new home. I'VE may
as well be extravagant," said John.
Things couldn't be much worse"
But worse things happened. A
crash, a jar, and the vehicle was
thrown on its side. John emerged
bleeding from shower of glass. Elsie,
uninjured except for a bad shaking,
rose to her feet beside him, and they
stood staring at the wreckage.
The taxicab had collided with
large motor van-their motor van,
bound for the same destination. The
van was not much injured, but its
contents had been flung to the ground.
There was rent in the Wilton rug,
the living-room table was bundle of
firewood, and every piece of glass was
broken, including the pier mirror.
The hoodoo showed no signs of let

sat down on the floor. 1t had been

about 20 seconds later.

These were the plans talked of at
recess. These were the subjects of
dreams at night.
But, the realization of the dreams
seemed improbable. Manly little fell
lows, with the assistance of The Age
Herald, secured a certain fund of
money with which to make pur-
chase. In the meantime they secured
many smaller animals, a monkey
which grinned and chartered, a sly
raccoon, an owl which looked wise
through his large, unmoving eyes-and
in a provisional zoo-until one night,
after certain prominent people had
uttered complaint. raider went
abroad mysteriously, and the little
zoo disappeared from the face of the
