mittee composed of G. j. Gross of

c. Miller of Newport, A. C. Chase of
Greensboro and Wallace H. Gilpin of
Barton was appointed to carly forward
plans.
Mr.. Baldwin then introduced Con-
gresham Dale, who spoke eloquently
of the worth of such efforts as this
undertaken by the Orleans County His
torical society. Mr. Dale's grand
father Human was the first settler in
Derby and as judge held his second
term of cou1t in Browning on, then
half share with Craftsbu1y. Mr..
Dale said that we were gathered there
not merely because of the wonderful
structure Mr.. Twilight built long
years ago and left as visible but
material mark of his work but because
of the spirit and imperishable impress
he left upon the lives with which he
came in contact. He said that while
we in mind go back to the days of the
construction of the stone building for
| inspiration as Mr.. Twilight in naming
the building, "Athenian" hall went
back to ancient myths for inspiration,
we could not go back to do their work,
but must go forward. There is always
work ahead.
1t is certain the gathering broke up
feeling that the meeting had been
worth while and credit is due Messrs.
| Gross, Wyman and Dutton for such
splendid arrangements.

It Came to Him on St.
Patrick's Day.
By 2. A. Mitchell

Emmett Doolan, a young man living
in County Tfpperary, Ireland, was one
day walking on the bank Of the river
SUR doing hard job Of thinking. His
eyes were on the ground before him,
and so intent was he on the subject
that he did not even hear a bird chirp-
ing in a tree above his head. Sudden
" he was stopped both in his progress
and his reverie by girl who stood d.
rectly before him and was looking at
him with merry face.
What are you thinking about, EN-
met, that you can't see a yard before
you?"
A change came over the young mans
face at sight Of the CHEEKY maiden be-
fore him. His own lighted up with q
momentary pleasure.
I'm goin' to America, Eileen" he
said, "and. considerin' that haven't a
penny to me name, l was wonderin'
how was goin' to get there"
It was now the girls turn to look So

smile left her lips.

lous voice.

Eyes"
"And your mother-what will she do
without the boy she loves so well?"
Eyes, I must leave both father and
mother. I'm dom 'em no good here
and once in America, where they say
there's plenty Of work for all, I may be
able to send ZEN enough to make ZEN
comfortable"
They walked to the bank Of the rive
and sat down on the turf under a tree
Eileen had spoken one word for En-
NETS parents and two for herself. The
two had grown up together, and

Even this suggestion failed to elicit
any word from Eileen. Emmett was
looking down upon her and saw that
her eyes were wet Tell me, Eileen"
he said softly, why you oppose my

She looked up at him. and at last he
received his answer. ST don't want

The few words, spoken almost in q
whisper, revealed to the man not only
that the girl loved him, but revealed
to him that she was as much to him
as he was to her. 1t was the only
proposition ever made between them
that their lives should be linked, and,
singularly enough, it came from the
girl. But it sufficed for these two low
~ creatures, and 1t enabled Emmett to
speak more plainly-to tell her that he
would not only send his parents the
wherewithal to make them comforta-
BILE, but would work hard and save
every penny that he might have
enough beyond what he needed for
them to send for her, and they would
found home in the new country
where-so they believed-all grew rich.
How Emmett Doolan managed to
get to America without the where
wtthal to pay his way concerns this
story only so far as to show that a
man who could accomplish such a feat
was bound to succeed. And Emmett did
succeed in time, though he found it up

funQ he started at the beginning or a
new year and calculated that he would
have enough by the following autumn
to buy Eileen's ticket across the water.
Unfortunately he was laid up by i'll
ness soon after he began to put aside
this fund and was idle for two months
Eileen received a letter early In
January telling her Of her lovers in
tentions and another shortly afterward
that he was laid up with an illness.
She had saved enough money to pay
her way to America and made up her
mind to go to Emmett of her own &C.
cord since he was not able to send for
her. She came to this resolution in
February, but it was March before she
could make her arrangements to de-
part. Then, too, she must go home to
say goodby to her parents and re-
ceive blessing from Emmet's father
and mother to take to him. However,
she got away at last, anxious to reach
her lover, who was still an invalid.
Eileen's intention was to surprise
Emmett, and in none of her letters did
she give him the slightest hint Of her
coming. She wrote him that she long
ed to be able to nurse him back to
health, and he replied gratefully that
If she were with him he would recover
more rapidly. but his greatest disap.
pointment was that he was using up
the fund he had started with which to
bring her to him in necessary expenses,
including doctors bills.
The last letter Emmett received from
home before Eileen sailed was from
his mother. She was a very pious wo-
man and had often written her son to
be sure not to neglect his church du-
ties. In this letter she told him that
she was sending him a gift that he
would receive on or about st. Pat
| rick's day. She believed that 1t would
make him we'll, for she sent with 1t her
blessing.
Emmett was very curious to know
what this gift was his mother was
sending him and wondered how II
would come. He saw no way except
by express, and, although his mother
had his address, he sent postcard to
each express company's local Office
that it might not be delayed for want
Of his street and number.
On the morning Of st. Patrick's day
Emmet's gift had not arrived. There
was a telephone in the house in which
he lived, and since he was too veal
to leave his bed he asked his landlady
to telephone the express Offices to ash
If any package had been received fol
him. Every Office declared that moth
ing had been received for him, and ht
was disappointed. About II o'clock il
the morning the landlady came to hi!
room and said to him:
"Your st. Patrick's day gift from Ire
land has arrived. Shall bring it up :?
"Of course. Bring it up at once"
81 don't know that I'm able to car
~ it."
"Is it very heavyY
81 think it must weigh about 1O
pounds"
'Well, well! I suppose it must sta,
there till can get up and handle
myself"
Maybe it can come of itself"
Before Emmett could reply to thi
apparently absurd proposition the doc
was flung open, and Eileen ran to En-
NETS bed and. kneeling beside ii
