A CHRISTMAS STORY OF IRELAND
IN DlDEN TIMES.

The true story of Ireland is full of
heroic romance, of daring escapes, of
undying defiance and, alas. of suffer
ing unto death, as always must be
when the few brave oppose the brutal
many.
In the fife of the great Irish prince,
Hugh Roe ODonnell, may be found
incidents which are as thrilling as if
they had been invented by the great
masters of fiction
Before he was fourteen the fame
of young Hugh had spread through
the five provinces of ireland, for his
wisdom, sagacity, goodly growth and
noble deeds, and the English feared
that if the young chief should be per-
mitted to arrive at the age of ma
turity he and his brother-in-law, The
O'Neill, Earl of Tyrone, might com
bine and conquer the whole island
They, could not get the noble boy
by fair methods, so they entrapped
him. That is to say, entirely dis
honorable. The English deputy, Sir
John Perrott, engaged a vessel laden
with Spanish wine, and instructed
the captain to anchor on the Donegal
coast, opposite the castle Of Rathmul-
len, where the boy Hugh dwelt in
charge of his foster-father, the Mac
Sweeney, owner Of the castle and one
of the most powerful chiefs of the
North.
The captain, constituencies hire
ling, obeying the orders of his master
sent word to the castle that he had
rare wines for sale. The chief dis.
patched messengers to. purchase the
Spanish wines, after which the cap.
tain sent an invitation to the Mac.
Sweeney to visit the ship, with any
other gentlemen he might wish to
bring Naturally young Hugh, an i'm
pulsive boy, wished to go on board
the strange vessel, and his indulgent
guardian gave him permission to go
with two OF the chiefs own sons. No
sooner were the boys down in the
cabin than the captain gave orders to
fasten the hatchWays, and the Mac
Sweeney was left in despair standing
on the shore, vainly offering the
treacherous abductor his entire for
tune to ransom the young prince. No
use; MacSweeney's people speedily
manned boats and followed, but the
larger.y vessel, with all sails set, soon
swept out of reach. The boys We're
taken to Dublin, where they were i'm
prisoned in a tower of the English
castle.
Three long years passed and at last
young. Hugh found a way to escape.
He and two of his fellow prisoners
made ready to fight for freedom
Round the castle was a deep ditch
filled with water, across which was
a wooden bridge opposite the door of
the fortress. Early one dark winter
evening, before being locked into
their sleeping cells and before the
guard had been set, they let them
selves down from a window on the
bridge by a long rope and immedi
ately fastened the dooTon the outside.
They were met on the bridge by a
friend with two swords, one of5which
Hugh took and the other was given
to Art Kavanagh, brave Leinster
chief They made their way noise
lessly through the people along the

dimly lighted streets, guided by the
friendly young man, while Kavanagh
brought UP the rear with sword
grasped ready in case of interruption.
Passing out through one of the city,
gates which had not yet been closed
for the night, they crossed the coun-
try toward the hills, avoiding the pub
lie road, and made their way over the
Feastern face of Sheve Roe-the red
mountain. They pushed on till far In
the night, when, being at last quite
worn out, they took shelter in thick
wood, where they remained hidden
during the night. But from his long
imprisonment and on account of the
thin slippers he wore the young prince
was frightfully fatigued. Stones and
thorns had so lacerated his tender feet
that he was scarcely able to stand.
So he persuaded them to go for aid
to the Chief O'Toole, while he re-
NAMED in the forest to await their
return. Very unwillingly they left
him" ,r r..
Pursuit of the fugitives had led the
English soldiers to the wood, which
they surrounded, and once more the
young chief was taken prisoner. This
time, to make sure that he could not
escape, they fettered his hands and
feet with heavy iron chains and
shackled him to the cell. In this
fashion young Hugh spent another
weary year. They thought they had
broken the spirit of the proud young
noble. But The ODonnell bided his
time, laid his plans and under the very
nose of the guard managed to COM
municate with his friends outside.
1t was Christmas night. in, the year
1891 Besides The O'Donnell, two
other princes of Fire, were confined
in the tower: These were Henry and
great Shane O'Neill, Prince of Ulster.
The three young mobiles had secreted

friends had managed to convey to

when descending, was struck on the
head against the stone wall, an injury
which caused him great suffering, but
he crawled along with the others,
helped by their strength and love.
The three clambered into the castle
sewer, and along this foul way they
escaped across the ditch and through
the dark streets as before without at
tracing attention.
E. For the sake of safety they did not
keep together, but they tried to re-
main within sight of one another. In
spite of all their care, however, Henry
O'Neill became separated from Art
and Hugh and was lost Hugh ODon-
nell, the brave and kind, was keenly
distressed; he waited until he could
wait no longer, when he resumed his
care of the suffering Art and pressed
on.
All Christmas night the young
princes struggled across the wild,
bleak hillsides, over stony, icy ground,
the keen winter winds chilling them
to the bone. At last poor Art ONeill,
unable to walk, begged Hugh O'Don-
nell to go on and leave him. Hugh's
answer was to lift Art Thpon his own
weary shoulders and to walk On man
fully with his burden. He had had no
food for twenty-four hours; he was
thinly clad, but he hoped to reach
Glenmalure before dawn, Within a
