FACTS AND FACTIONS
 ABOUT SAINT PATRICK

St. Patrick who is honored today by all Irishmen and many who are not Irish-as the patron saint of the Emerald Isle, was born about the year 872.
 aSt. Patrickss birt hpIace is ssshroud- ed in mystery England, Scotland, wales. France and other countries
 His father has been varionsly de- scribed as q Roman soldier, g mili- tary magistrate the holder of a minor l priestly office, a man of means. and very poor.
 HIS father was a Gallagher, his mother was a Brady runs the old ballad. but this is mere poetic li- eense.
 Historical investigations. tend to prove that St. PatricI's father was CaIpurnius. a military magistrate of Rome, who was stationed at the Wall protect the Roman civilization of England against the raids of the bar barrie ,Picts and Scots
 PatrtcI<'s mother has been identi- fled as Concessa, a niece of St. Mar tin of Tours, who was born in the rich Pannontan city Of Sabaria. be- yond the Danube, now known to Hungarians as Sarwar. and who died in the French city of Tours,
 There is some ground for the belief that Calpurnius met, fell in love with and married the beautiful Concossa at Sabar1a, which was a summer wa tering place in the days before the Roman empire had fallen beneath the onslaughts Of the barbarians of the north.
 Whereyer Patrick was born. it is practically certain that his father and mother were long stationed at the Wall of Seyerus, and that the saint spent his youth in Britain.
 Patrick's real name. 1t is believed, was Succat. and he was about fifteen years old when, in a raid of bar barians from the heather, he was kid- mapped and carried to the coast Of Ireland, where he was sold into slavery.
 As a slave in Ireland succat was called Patricius, the young patrician, from which was derived the name of Patrick.
 For aix years he renamed slave among the people whom he was des- tined to convert to Christi anity. Then he escaped and rejofned his parents. and twice again he was captured by the Picts, but escaped.
 Calprunius died. and the young man took his mother to Tours, in France. where her uncle, St. Martin. was bishop.
 At Tours Patrick entered upon the monastic life and ten years later was dreams and visions to return to Ire land as a. missionary, and he spent the remainder of his long life in Iaboring among the people of that island.
 A thousand legends have sprung up about St, Patrick, the best known of which deals with his miraculous ex- pulsion of the snakes from Ireland. It is asserted that he accomplished the feat by beating a drum, but he struck with such fervor as to break the head. An angel then appeared and mended the drum, and the patch sacred relic.

CHAPTER XXI.
Already.

He went to sleep that night, fearing
the awakening. But as he woke to
the summons of the early summer sun
shine filling his hotel room, the
dreaded reaction did not come. He
could think only with tenderness of
the woman who had yielded to him,
the love that did not haggle, with a
sort OF awe-end the query, Could he
match It?
He arose, and going to the tele-
phone, called her number.
"Is it you?" He heard the eager
catch in the low voice.
"Who else could 1t be?" He laughed.
"Kazia. If you should happen to in
vite me to breakfast"
"Oh. will you? Come soon IL
am always waiting for you"
But as he turned away from the
telephone. something caught In his
throat. Poor Kazia!" he muttered.
We've cut out big job for our
selves"
He did not have to knock at her
door. While he was still mounting
the last flight of stairs, 1t was thrown
open and she stood awaiting him in
the little entrance hall. When he took
her in his close clasp. she put her
hand to his forehead and looked
searchingly into his eyes. He was
glad that what she saw there con-
tented her.
"Oh. I'm glad" she murmured from
his shoulder, I'm glad you called me
up"
"of course l did. How long did you
think l could wait to hear your voice
again7"
'I was afraid you wouldn't. II you
hadn't"
But. did" He kissed her.
Afterward, when the table had been
cleared and the dishes washed-he
helping with an awkwardness they
found very comic-he broached his
plan.

tell me OF the hills you came from

"Oh. yes. they're beautiful. But men

the edge of things as you know Them
So he told her of the wilderness he
had visited-of calm pellucio rivers
that became noble lakes and then
rushed madly down narrow rocky
chutes; of vast stretches of untouched
forest, pathless to all but the wild
things and the lonely. hardly less wild
trapper; of Its silences and ragings
She listened eagerly.
Let's 90 there. Kazfa."
The suggestion left her almost
breathless for a moment. Dare we?'
why not?"
why not?" she repeated slowly
There would be nothing to fear uy
there. nothing to conceal. We could
stay until have to go back to work
Longer. II you like 1t. You needn',
think of work"
But ! must" she smiled. II mus,

"Hush!" She laid a silencing hand
over his lips.
1t was easily arranged. He dropped
note to Henley which led the latter
