A TOAST TO THE FLAG.

Here's to the Red of it
There's not a shred of it,
No, nor shred of it,
In all the spread of it,
From foot to head
But heroes bled for it
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing it Red.
Here's to the White of it,
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right of it,
But feels the might of it,
Through day and night
Womanhood's care for it
Made manhood's dare for it
Purity's prayer for it
Keep it so white.
Here's to the Blue of it
Heavenly view of it,
Star-Spangled hue to it,
Honesty's due of it
Constant and true,
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Here's to the soul of it,
Red White and Blue.

McFADDEN'S FLIGHT
A Story for St. Patrick's Day, by Elinor Marsh

Unfortunately for the fugitive, h
had been too hasty. He should have
slipped away quietly before making al
exhibition of his masculine legs ant
what they could do. But Mike wal
never given to forethought. One Of
the soldiers who had been left to watch
the men standing In line took after the
supposed girl. Mike was swift OF
foot and, except for the incumbrance
of the skirts, was more than a match
for the soldier. who carried knapsack
on his shoulders and a musket in his
hands. He didn't know why the girl
was running He supposed that there
was some plan on foot to outwit him.
| self and his comrades. Not gaining in
the chase, he called on the fugitive to
| stop or he would fire. Mike kept on,
and the soldier, not relishing shooting
a woman, desisted.
During his fight Mike saw stout
cudgel in his way. and, picking 1t up,
he began to think Of more manly de-
Tense than fight Reaching a slight
rise in the ground, he stopped, turned
about and faced his enemy.
number of the girls had broken
away and run after the sergeant, eager
TO learn the result of Mikes fight.
Those in advance were finally treated
to the sight of man in woman's ap-
parel defying with a cudgel a soldier
with musket. But while the latter
was far better armed than the former
he was handicapped by the belief that
his enemy was a girl. When a short
distance from Mike he paused and
said.
Come back with me. l don't want
to hurt you. young woman
"Divil bit do | 90 back with We.
IL We come near enough TO me I'll brain
ye wild this shllalahm'
The girls who had followed, seeing
that Mike had been mistaken by the
soldier for one of them, now came up
and. reproaching the soldier for fight
ing woman. threw themselves be-
tween Mike and the soldier Fortu-
nately for their protection, Mike was
on the edge Of the wood, and. there
being enough women to screen him. he
darted away between the trees and
this time made good his escape.
While he was doing so the women
gathered round the soldier and began
to push him back toward the village.
One of them finally got his musket.
and after that he was helped along |
by means OF Its bayonet
The sergeant, when it was evident
that he had been sent on a FOOLS err
rand, hurried back to where the men |
were still standing in line. He was
assured by every man and woman that !
there was no such person as Mike Nc
Fadden among them, and being con-
vinced, he took himself and his men
away.
Mike never stopped till he reached
he coast and escaped to America
He has always attributed his escape

Mike McFadden was the most popu
lar young man in all Ireland at the
time of the revolution. He rode about
on horseback, carrying a green flag
pie to arm and shake off the yoke OF
England.
This was very well so long as the
revolution lasted, but when it was put
down Mike was one of the persons
marked for punishment. But his pop
ularity stood him in good stead. Where
there was one person to hunt for him
there were hundred to conceal him.
He was talking to a crowd of listen
ers in his native town, exhorting them
mot to give up the ship as long as
there was a stick of timber left in
her." that st. Patrick was with them
and would grant them the victory,
when a woman from an upper window
cried out:
The sojers! They're comm"
And SO they were. They were COM
ing for Mike and there was a beauti-
full chance of their taking him. and If
they took him he was sure to hang.
The question of the moment was how
to protect Mike. Ireland was forgot
ten. Nike was all in all. One Of the
girls present beckoned him to follow
her and darted into house. As soon
as Mike was inside she shut the door.
A few minutes later the soldiers rode
into town and began to look for the
rebel
''All the men come into the street y
cried the sergeant in command. Some
Of the men were already there, and the
rest thought it best to obey the order.
They were lined up, and the sergeant
said:
Let Mike McFadden step to the
front"
Mike did not materialize.
IF Mike McFadden doesn't step to
the front, every mothers son of you
will be taken to Dublin and lodged in
jail"
This produced no effect. Mike, dress
ed in petticoats, was circulating among
the girls and when called on TO step
forth was standing between two girls
with an arm around each In true fem
mime style
With the sergeant was one who had
seen McFadden, and he told the SER
geant that the culprit was not in line. /,
Then the order was given to search ev-

they were.

The girl led the sergeant a short dis
lance down the street. and as soon as
they reached open ground Mike pulled
his skirts above his knees and ran like
