McF adden's S Flight
A Story For St. Patrick's Day
By ELlNOR MARSH

Mike McFadden was the most popu
lar young man in all Ireland Mt the
time of the revolution. He rode about
on horseback, carrying a green flag
with harp on it, calling on the peo
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 crowd of listen
ers in his native town, cxhorting them
mot to give up the ship as long as
there was stick of timber left in
her." that ST. Patrick was with them
and would grant them the victory,
when 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 beauti-
ful 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. Mike 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
few minutes later the soldiers rode
into town and began to look for the
rebel
"All the men come into the street -
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
Irvat."
Nike 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
inine 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 cv-
cry house in the place. the men mean
while being Obliged to stand where
they were.
III show ye where Mike McFadden
is," said one of the girls whose waist
Mike was encircling.

The girl led the sergeant a short dis
tance down the street, and as soon as
they reached open ground Mike pulled
his skirts above his knees and ran like
deer.
Unfortunately for the fugitive, he
had been too hasty. He should have
slipped away quietly before making an
exhibition of his MASCULINE legs and
what they could do. But Mike was
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 match
for the soldier. who carried knapsack
on his shoulders and musket in his
hands. lie 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 flight Mike saw a stout
cudgel in his way and, picking it up,
he began to think of more manly de-
fense than flight Reaching slight
rise in the ground. he stopped. turned
about and faced his enemy.
A number of the girls had broken
away and run after the sergeant, eager
to learn the result of Mikes flight.
Those in advance were finally treated
to the sight of man in womans ap-
parel defying with "A cudgel soldier
with IA musket. But while the latter
was far better armed than the former
he was handicapped by the belief that
his enemy was girl When a short
distance from Mike he paused and
said:

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 a woman, threw themselves be-
tween Mike and the soldier. Fortu-
nately for their protection, Mike was

were still standing in line. He was
assured by every man and woman that
there was no such person as Mike Nc

u. S. ARMY TO FIGHT SOON
Yankees May 90 into Action This Win.
ter--coid Weather Will Not
Stop Drive.

Washington, Oct. "A. = American
troops are ready to so into action on
the western front and news may be
expected at any moment now that they
have received their baptism of fire.
The American regiments will parti-
cipate in the fighting throughout the
winter operations and will be heavily
REINFORCED in the Spring.
These are the differences drawn from
Secretary of War Bakers weekly re-
view of war operations on all fronts,
issued here, which discloseS that the
allies will not go into winter quarters
but will continue their terrible on
slaughts on the enemy without inter
ruption.
This means that as soon as the
American troops are deemed sufficient
~ trained they will be moved to the
firing line regardless of the season. 1t
is inferred that the American troops
are ready for action.

ASKS ALL MEN TO AID CAUSE

Washington, Oct. 26-Speaking as q
party leader and as an individual
President Wilson on Thursday urged
the woman suffrage issue upon the
voters OF all states. He told dele
CATION of 100 members of the New
York state woman suffrage party that
he hoped their campaign would be sue
cessful and urged men of all parties
in New York particularly to vote for
suffrage
The women were received by the
president in the east room of the
White House.
In presenting the delegation Mrs.
Nomande r. Whitehouse told the pres
ident that the party whole-heartedly
supported the administration in its
war policy and was ready TO cooper
ate in any manner.
Message to Women.
The president, addressing the suf-
fragists, said:
Il know the difficulties which you
have been working under in New York
state, but in my judgment those diff
fculties cannot be used as an excuse
by the leaders of any party or by the
voters of any party for neglecting the
questions which you are pressing upon
them. Because, after all, the whole
world now is witnessing a struggle be-
tween two ideals of government 1t is
struggle which goes deeper and
touches more of the foundations of
the organized life of men than any
struggle that has ever taken place be-
fore, and no settlement OF the ques-
tons that lie on the surface can satisfy
a situation which requires that the
questions which lie underneath and at
the foundation should also be settled,
and settled right | am free to say
that | think the question of woman
suffrage is one of those questions
which lie at the foundation.
II believe that just because we are
war we ought to be quickened TO give
this question Of woman suffrage our
immediate consideration.
''As one Of the spokesman of q great
party, ! would be nothing less than
obeying the mandates of that party If
| gave my hearty support to the ques-
ton of woman suffrage which you rep
resent, but / DO not want to speak
merely as one of the spokesman of a
party. ! want TO speak for myself and
say that it seems TO me that this is the
time for the states of this Union to
take his action. | want to see com
munities declare themselves quickened
at this time and show the consequence
of the quichening.
II think the whole country has APP
preciated the way in which the women
have risen TO this great occasion. They
not only have done what they have
been asked to do and done it with
ardor and efficiency, but they have
shown a power TO organize for doing
things of their own initiative. which is
quite different thing and q very much
more difficult thing, and / think the
whole country has admired the spirit
and the capacity and the vision of the
women Of the United States.
81 therefore am very glad to add
my voice to those which are urging the
people of the great state of New York
to set n great example by voting for
woman suffrage"
