this one the guests will furnish wit and

you might furnish Blarney stone for
them to kiss and so honey their

step ladder or on some elevation, for
one must always climb to reach the
Blarney stone.
Queen Nab, whom poets write about,
was an Irish queen of ancient days,

your party perhaps she will tell some
of the touching Celt legends of other

him. Mallow smiled tomplaccntIv
They might smoke as good as that at
the government house, but he rather
doubted it. Trust a Britisher to know
a good pipe-charge; but his selection
of cigars was seldom to be depended
upon.
Don't see many of these out here,"'
was Craig's comment, and he tucked
away the cigar In vest pocket.
They cost me forty-three cents
apiece, without duty" The vulgarian's
pleasure lies not in the article itself
SO much as in the price paid for it.
On the plantation Mallow smoked
Burma cheroots because he really pre-
ferred them. There, he drank rye
whisky. consorted with his employees,
gambled with them and was not above
cheating when he had them drunk
enough. Away from home, however,
he was the man of money; he bought
vintage wines when he could, wore
silks. jingled the sovereigns whenever
he thought someone might listen, bull
lied the servants, all with the childish
belief that he was following the foot
steps of aristocracy, hoodwinking no
one. not even his kind I'm worth a

Paris. Craig's thought few back to
the prosperous days when he was ply.
ing his trade between New York and
Cherbourg, on the Atlantic liners, the
annual fortnight in Paris and the
Grand Prix. He had had his diamonds,
then, and his wallet of yellow-backs;
and when he had called for vintage
wines and choice Havanas it had been
for genuine love Of them. In his heart
he despised Mallow. He knew himself
to be rogue, but Mallow without
money would have been bold preda
tory scoundrel. Craig knew also that
he himself was at soul too cowardly to
be more than despicably bad. He
envied Mallow's absolute fearlessness,
his frank brutality, his strength upon
which dissipation had as yet left no
mark; and Mallow was easily forty.

But you're willing enough to talk
