Mary Sherman looked after the
joyous pair wistfully. Her thoughts
ran back TO the time when she. as
well as her younger sister, had gone
down the path between the rows OF
gaily nodding hollyhocks and had
looked happily into the face Of her
lover just as Judy, her sister. was

doing her hair. still possessing a
youthful carriage and a gay tilt to
her head about which John Red
mond had so loved to tease her.
John was one of the poor Irish
families who lived at Kerry's hol-
low down near the railroad tracks
and Mary Sherman was one of the
aristocrats up on the hill She and
John, however, had sat near each
other at the Grammar school and
had risen in the grades together
for. if Mary, the aristocrat, was
bright. John Redmond, with his
darl; red hair and his laughing blue
eyes, was brilliant, and the race
between them had been a keen one.
They had spent many happy times

away TO school. On her return, her
mother frowned down any intimacy
with the Kerry HOLLOW people, for

Judge Taylor still lived in the Hol-
low with his aged parents who could
not be induced TO leave.

when John would be wealthy and
could claim Mary for his own. But
he had gone away when his mother
and father died and Mary worn out
by her mothers querulousness and
the fact that Johns letters sudden

The death Of Andrew Carnegie, a,
the advanced age Of 81 years, removes
from the earth very unique person
atty. Coming to this country from
Scotland when a very young boy, he
became one Of the greatest manufac-
turers Of iron products in the world,
rising from nothing TO master
among men. His one great ambition,
after he had sold his great business
10 the United States Steel Corporation
for $3.50. 900. 10000 in per cent gold
bonds, was to die poor. He had hard
struggle in giving away his great
wealth and was unable TO accomplish
what he set out to do as it is reputed
that there were several millions that
ne had somehow lost sight Of that still
bothered him.

spoke Of the omission, that l suppose
YOU may receive other letters beside

Sargent gave us. was particularly
impressed with his description Of the
village as formerly lined with poplars,
IA totally different picture Of the viii

very coloring Of the street would have

these when twelve years old; he spoke
his part entirely in Greek. To men,

In 1886, being then fifteen years old.
II was a privilege indeed to have Mr..
Sargent with US at the meeting, and
his accurate memory and genial inter
