Ancient Irish Laws In Poetry.

Even a subject SO essentially pro-
sale as the law was interviewer with
poetry in ancient Ireland, where JUS
tice was administered by the File, or
poet, the most important person in the
country after the king. In olden times
verse was employed when. the matter
to be recorded was of particular inn
portanee, or of nature that called not
only for grace and beauty of express
sion, but for dignity of language as
we'll.
When the ancient laws Of Ireland
were revived, says the Christian
Science Monitor, under the direction
of st. Patrick, File was summoned
ITO put thread of poetry around
them" This Is believed one of the
reasons that so much of the text Of
the Irish laws is In metrical form.
From II to Is years of special study
was needed to qualify File for the
legal profession.

her they seem quite right, the natural
and right things to do and say. The
truth Is, most Of the time she's rather
self-satisfied and pleased with every
thing-the life she leads, the people
she knows, the fun she has-every-
thing"
II understand" Now unfeignedly
intrigued, Philip had abandoned all
pretense Of treating the matter light
ly, and was sitting forward, cigaret
smoldering between his fingers, his
eyes intently searching Priscilla's
face. "Tell me something about the
content of these dreams. Go back as
far as you can :"
"My first memories are very vague"
Priscilla told him. "They were child
ish and simple impressions Of another
little girl who was rather unhappy
most Of the time. think she lived
with an old woman-a wretched old
witch Of a woman who was cruel to
her, seemed to hate her and enjoy
beating her-in a mean little fiat
somewhere. The old woman used to
tell fortunes with cards In the front
room. But all that's very vague now.
I don't remember much more, except
that the little girl used to play a great
deal In the streets"
"But when sheer yOu-grew up,
the dreams became more real?"
Eyes; about that time something
happened to the old woman, presume
she died. and the girl was left alone to
look out for herself. don't know what
she did for living because I never
saw her except at night. Then I would
meet her, or rather find myself with
her in the Street of Strange Faces
A questioning look obliged Priscilla
to break off here and explain about
the river, the Dark Corner, and the
Street.
"And then We" she resumed-"or
she-would start off and have curious
experiences. She somehow fell in with
a sort of desperate, a gang leader
such as one sometimes reads about in
the newspapers, named Red Carne-
han"

ooh, perfectly; places, too. And
this Red Carnehan fell in love with
her, and they became engaged

didn't love him In return at least, not
in the way Philip wanted and deserved
to be loved !. vastly different from
such love as had thrown Leonora into
the arms of Mario
She paused, slight frown pucker-
ing her delicately lined brows.
Strange how the memory Of that
strings! Stranger still that anything
as fantastic as that shadowy love of
shadows should seem so real, more
real than all else In the content of
her drama, even It's eliminating
tragedy more real, indeed,
than anything in this world Of reality

I she had thrown back to let in the sun.
She gave gesture of doubt and
anxiety. If this were not love, what
was it? Not sanity: how could one
love a phantom? She began to
regret the weakness which had moved
her to call up Philip Fosdick. How could
she bring herself to confess this Sc
cret even to him? How keep it hid
den from him? How hope to deceive
that keen insight which had lifted him
to his present high place in the ranks
of psychOpathOlOgists?
She sang no more, but awaited
Philips coming with more misgivings
than she liked.

guess. She was brighter, more intel
ligent than he, and she planned things
for him to do, with his gang-rob-
berries and such things, as far as l
knOw-and how to escape the cOnse-
quences. Another man, named Mario,
loved her, too; but he wasn't one of
Reds gang; in fact he was bitterly OPP
posed to her having anything to do
with it, and always begging her to
give it up and marry him. But she
was afraid of Red, and always re
fused, think she always meant to
marry Red Carnehan until last
night :"
Priscilla paused and was so long
silent. staring at the floor, lost in
thoughts and emotions conjured up by
this near approach to her latest
dream that Philip found 1t necessary
to prompt her.
"What happened last night"
"The dream that frightened me so
had to tell somebody and thought of
you"
"Then tell me :"

back with the manuscript.

V. CONFESSION.

Philip Fosdick had a way Of ex-
orcising constralnt and implanting
confidence even in those who had no
special liking for him. And Priscilla
was genuinely attached to him, more
so than she knew. And when she saw
how we'll he looked how very much
alive and fundamentally and physi
cally Philip always seemed at concert
pitch and never to know a let-down-
hesitation and doubts were swept
away like leaves before an autumnal
wind.

THE HAUNTED WOMAN.

ynopsis.-Vaguely conscious of a
double personality, but without any
idea OF its meaning, the girl, Leo
nora, makes her accustomed way
into the Street of Strange Faces.
Thoroughly at home in the under
world Of New York, Leonora lakes
her course to her appointed rendez-
vouz. Mario joins her. Greatly In
love and seeing the fine qualities
which the girl really possesses, Ma
rio seeks to turn her from the path
Of inevitable destruction. She prom
ises to marry him. At Ristoris
cafe, gathering place of criminals,
Leonora meets her partner, Red"
Carnehan, and his associates, and
Is accused Of betraying a fellow
criminal to the police. She cav
agely defends herself, and the en-
suing argument is interrupted by
the appearance Of Leo Bielinsky,
fleeing from the police, one of
whom he has killed. Officers in
pursuit crash into the room and
two are killed by Carnehan. Leo
nora and the rest escape. In her
studio, Priscilla Maine, wealthy
artist, awakes from troubled sleep
with a distinct feeling Of having
her life linked with Leonora's.
Priscilla has painted picture of
herself in fancy dress-a gypsy
which seems to have a hypnotic eff
feet on her. Unnerved, and fearful
that her mind Is affected, Priscilla
decides to call to her aid dear
friend, DR.. Philip Fosdick.

VI. THE EVENING PAPER.

She was standing to one side Of the
south window, abstractedly looking
down over Macdougall alley, when she
heard Philip utter a startled exclama-
ton and jump up from his chair.
Turning she saw him approaching,
the scrubbed pages Of her narrative
crushed in his hand, his face dark
with amazement.
"This is more than extraordinary"
he declared-"it's impossible, incom-
prehensible! Priscilla, tell me
have you by any chance seen the aft
ernoon papers,"
Premonition started q hand flutter-
ing toward her bosom. "Why :.
no."
you're sureY
"But of course, Philip And then,
alarmed by his look Of doubt-"What
Is it? Why do you ask?"
Half a minute" Philip crossed to
the console table near the door, where
he had left his hat and stick and a
| folded newspaper, and came back
with the latter, hastily shaking out it's
sheets. II remember noticing a news
story on my way here" he said abb
stractedly, as he scanned the columns
-"story curiously like yours in some
respects-about some gangster or
other on the lower East side who shot
a detective in the street last night
then took refuge in a restaurant, and
escaped after shooting two others. I'm
not sure the names the same but

-Ristoris restaurant. No mention of
Mr.. Carnehan, though, or anybody else
except the proprietor of Ristori's, who
swears he never saw Bielinsky before
last night. Apparently your friends
made a clean getaway, too"
Priscilla caught his arm with i'm
ploring hands.
"Philip! 1t isn't true! 1t can't be!
Tell me it isn't"
Seeing her face of waxen pallor,
her dilate eyes in which horror flick
cred, he dropped the newspaper, freed
his arm gently, and took her hand in
the firm, calming and encouraging
clasp of the physician.
STEADY, ella, old girl, steady on !
OF course it isn't true-not the way
you mean. There's an explanation
somewhere short of witchcraft, and
I'll find it for you, Priscilla, I'll dig 1t
out If l have to chuck my practice to
the dogs and give the rest Of my life
to the job"

New Life for
Sick Man
Eatonic Works Magic

IT have taken only two boxes Of
Eatonic and feel like new man. 1t
has done me more good than anything
else" writes G. o. Frappir.
Eatonic is the modern remedy for
acid stomach, bloating, food repeating
and indigestion. 1t quickly takes up
and carries out the acidity and gas
and enables the stomach to digest the
food naturally. That means not only
relief from pain and discomfort but
you get the full strength from the food
you eat. Big box only costs a trifie
with your druggists guarantee.

KEEP DUCKS AND GEESE BUSY
Feed Enough to Keep Them In condi-
ton and Leave Them Eager for
Something More.

After the birds are mated, prefer
them active. Their ration should be
bulky, using about one-fifth Of green
stuff. They should not be fed all they
can eat, but enough to keep them in
condition and leave them eager for
food.
They do better on cracked corn
than on ration of cornmeal only. If
ducks and geese are wintered in good
condition, and mated early, there
should be no difficulty in getting fer
tile eggs. Too early eggs are not de-
sirable. Ducks especially lay very
early In the morning, and the very
early eggs are apt to freeze.

AUTUMN TROUBLES IN FLOCK
Roup Is One of Most Common Dis
eases and Is Most often Con-
tracted by Weak Fowls.

One Of the most common diseases
Of the farm poultry flock during the
autumn Is roup. This disease Is fire.
quently found In damp, poorly venti-
lated houses and Is most often con-
tracted by birds that are poorly de-
veloped and Of low vitality. Fowls OF
this type frequently get roup and are
the means Of spreading 1t through
out the flock. Obviously, prevention
should consist Of eliminating the
weaklings from the flock and provid-
ing house that will be dry and free
from drafts, but well ventilated, says
the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
An additional prevention against
this disease Is the following: Add
as much potassium permanganate as
will remain on the surface of dims
to each gallon Of drinking water and
keep before the fowls. This acts as
AN antiseptic and will help to keep
the birds In good condition. An at.
tempt to cure the individual Of roup
It not advisable, for, although in the
majority Of cases, there may be an
apparent cure, the danger Of reinfec-
ton is great, and frequently such
birds cause the disease to spread
throughout the flock. The safest
policy Is Immediately to remove such
birds from the flock and kill them as
soon as they show the first symptoms,
recognized by watery discharge
from the nostrils or eyes.

VIII Convert Table Scraps and kitch-

Nutritious Food.

In every household, no matter how
economical the housewife, there Is a
certain amount Of table scraps and
kitchen waste which has feeding value,
but which, If not fed, finds its way
into the garbage pail.
Poultry is the only class Of domes-

this waste material, right where 1t is

and nutritious food in the form of
eggs and poultry meat.

cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture say. The average
size Of the backyard flock should be
at least 10 hens. Thus, each flock
would produce In year 100 dozen Of
eggs, which at the conservative value
of 35 cents a dozen, would be worth
$35.
BY keeping a backyard poultry flock
the family would nor only help In re
ducing the cost Of living but would
have eggs of a quality and freshness
often difficult to obtain.
Remember that eggs produced by
the backyard flock cost very little, as
the fowls are fed largely upon waste
materials.
