CHAPTER ~.
The Coming Of a Messenger.

When Dyck entered the library at
Playmore, the first words he heard
were these:
Brest. He's smashed the French fleet
and dealt sharp blow to the rev0lu-
ton. Hurrah -
The words were used by Miles Cal
houn. Dyck's father, as greeting to
him on his return from the days
sport.
Now, il there was man in Ireland
who had a narrow view and kept his
toes pointed to the front, il was Miles
Calhoun. His people had lived in Con-
nemara for hundreds of years. and he
himself had only one passion in life,
which was the Protestant passion of
prejudice. He had ever been fol-
lower of Burke--a passionate follow
er. one who believed the French Revo-
luton was a crime against humanity
a danger to the future of civilization,
a miserable orgy of unworthy millions.
He had resisted more vigorously
than most men the progress Of revOlu-
tionary sentiments in Ireland. He was
aware that his son had far less rigid
opinions than himself; that he wen
defended Wolfe Tone and Thomas En-
met against abuse and damnatiOn.
That was why he had delight in slap
ping his son in the face, whenever
possible, with the hot pennant of vic
tory for British power.
He was man Of irascible tempera-
ment and stern views, given to fits of
evaporation. He was small of stature,
with round face, eyes that sudden
ly went red with feeling, and with
none of the handsomeness of his son,
who resembled his mothers side of
the family.
The mother herself had been beau
tiful and remarkable woman. Dyck
was, in sense, a reproduction Of her

FraLce, of the growing rebelliou- spirit
In Ireland, of riots In Dublin town, of
trouble at Limerick, Cork and Sligo.
AT the gate Of the mansion where
Shella was visiting, Dyck put into her
hands the wild flowers he had picked
as they passed, and said:
We'll, it's been great day. I've
never had q greater. Let's meet again,
and soon! I'm almost every day upon
the hill with my gun, and it'd be
worth a lot to see you sOOn-very
soon"
"Oh, you'll be forgetting me by to-
morrow" the girl said with a little
usefulness at her lips, for she had a
feeling they would not meet on the
morrow. Suddenly she picked from
the bunch of wild flowers he had
given her IA little sprig Of heather.
well, if we don't meet-wear that"
she said, and, laughing over her Shout
der, turned ana ran into the grounds
of Loyland towers.

country? Lord knows, we deserve n
chance, for It's hard paying the du-
ties these days. What with France In
revolution and reaching out her hand
to Ireland to coax her into rebellion;
what with defeat in America and
drink in Scotland; what with poverty.
and the COW and children and father
and mother living all In 'one room.
with the chickens roosting In the raft
ers; what with pointing the potato ut
the fried fish and gulplng il down as
II it was fish itself; what with the
smell and the dirt and the poverty of
Dublin and Derry. Limerick and
Cork-ah, welli' He threw his eyes
up again. "Ah, well, my little love,
sing on! You're blessing among a
lot of curses but never mind, it's n
fine world, and Ireland's the best part
Of II. Heaven knows it-and on this
hill, how beautiful il Isl"
He was now on the top of hill
where he could look out toward the
bog and in toward the mellow, wav-
ing hills. He could drink I'm the vel
lowish green, with here and there in
the distance little house; and about
two miles away smoke stealing up
from the midst of the plantation
where Playmore was-Playmore. his
fathers house-to be his own one day.
Dyck Calhoun had soul Of char
acter, originality and hayward dis
tinction. He had all the impulses and
enthusiasms of a poet, all the thirst
for excitement Of the adventurer, all
the latent patriotism of the true Celt
but his life was undsciplined, and he
had not ordered his spirits into com
partments of faith and hope. He had
gifts. They were gifts only to be
borne by those who had ambitions.
Now, as he looked out upon the
scene where nature was showing her
self Mt her best, some glimmer of
great future came to him. He did not
know which way his feet were des-
tined To travel I'm the business of life.
II was too late to Join the navy; but
there was still time enough to he

Suddenly. as he listened To the lark
singing overhead, with his face lifted
10 the sky, he heard human voice
singing and presently there ran up n
little declivity TO his left n glrl--an
Irish girl Of about seventeen years OF
age.
Her hat was hanging on her arm
by a green ribbon. Her head was COW
cred with the most wonderful brown,
waving hair. She had broad, low
forehead. Greek In its proportions and
lines The eyes were bluer even than
his own, and we're shaded by lashes
of great length, which slightly modi-
fed the firm lines Of the face, with Its
admirable chin, and mouth somewhat
large with a cupid's bow.
In spite OF It's ardent and luscious
look, II was the mouth of one who

The Two Meet.

"Well, good-by, Dyck. I'll meet you
assizes."
II was only the impusive, CHEEKY,
warning exclamation of wild young
Irish spirit TO his friend Dyck Cal
houn, but ii had behind 1t the humor
and incongruity of Irish life.
The man, Dyck Calhoun, after whom
were sent the daring words about the
sessions and the assizes, was year
or two older than his friend, and, as
Michael Clones, his servant and
friend, said. "the worst and best
scamp Of them ADJUST up TO any
harmless deviltry.
Influenced by no traditions or GUS
toms, under control of no stern rec
ords OF society, Calhoun had caused
some trouble in his time by the harm
less deeds of a scapegrace, but NOR
ally--that is, in all relations OF life
affected by the Ten Commandments
he was above reproach. There never
was in Ireland a cheerier, Drawer,
handsomer fellow, nor one with such
variety OF mind and complexity OF
purpose.
He was the only child of high
placed gentleman; he spent all the
money that came his way, and occa-
sionally loaded himself with debt,
which his angry father paid. Yet
there never was gayer heart, more
generous spirit nor an easier-tempered
man; though. after all, he was only
twenty-five when the words with
which the tale opens were said to him.
He was figure of note among
those who spent their time In crlti-
cizing the government and damning
the Irish parliament. He even be-
came friend of some young hare
Drained rebels Of the time; yet no
one suspected him of anything except
responsibility His record was
clean; Dublin Castle was not after
him.
When his young friend made the re-
mark about the session and assizes,
Calhoun was making his way up the
rocky hillside to take the homeward
path TO his fathers place. Playmore.
He raised his head, looking up into
the sky at some larks singing above
him In the heavens.
God love you, little dears," he
spoke aloud. II wish might die with
your singing in my ears, but do you
know what makes Ireland what 1t is?
Look at 1t now. Years ago, just when
the cotton mills and the linen mills
were doing well, they came over with
their English legislation, and made II
hard going. When We begin to get
something, over the English come and
take the something away. What have
we done we Irish people, that we
couldn't have n chance In our own

i'm body and mind. for a more cheerful
and impetuous person never made a
household happier or more imperfect
than she made hers.
AS the elder Calhoun made his an
nouncelnent about the battle Of Brest
and the English victory, a triumphant
smile lighted his flushed face, and I'M
der his heavy gray brows his eyes
danced with malicious joy.
"Howe's n wonder!" he said. Hell
make those savage, mad, red republic
ans hunt their holes. Eth, isn't that
your view, IvyT" he asked of n naval
captain who had evidently brought the
news.
Captain Ivy nodded.
Eyes, it's heavy blow for the
French bloodsuckers. IL their ideas
creep through Europe and get hold of
England, God only knows what the
end will be- In their view, to alter
everything that exists is the only way
to put things right"
At that moment the door opened
and a servant entered the room. In
his hand he carried letter which,
with marked excitement, he brought
to Miles Calhoun.
"Sure. he's waiting. sir" he said.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1921-08-11

answered his host with little air OF
ostentation.
"Oh, you're one Of the Peep-o-Day

CHAPTER ~.
The Duel.

The journey to Dublin was made by
the Calhouns, their two guests, and
Michael Clones, without incident OF
note. Arrived there, Miles Calhoun
gave himself to examination by gov
eminent officials and to assisting the
designs of the Peep-o'-Day Boys; and
indeed he was present at the forma-
ton of the first Orange lodge.
His narrow nature, his petty craft
and malevolence, were useful in
time of anxiety for the state. Yet he
had not enough ability TO develop his
position by the chances offered him.
He had not a touch of genius; he had
only bursts of Celtic passion, which lie
had not mind enough to control.
indeed, as days, weeks and months
went on, his position became less
valuable TO himself, and his finan-
cial affairs suffered from his own
and his agents bad management
In his particular district he was
n power; in Dublin he soon
showed the weaker side of his nature.
He had bad habit Of making foes
where he could easily have made
friends. In his personal habits he was
sober, but erratic.
Dyck had not his fathers abstention
from the Injuries of life. He drank,
he gained, he went where temptation
was, and fell into it. He steadily Iii
minished his powers of resistance to
self-indulgence until one day, at a tav-
ern. he met a man who made great
impression upon him.
This man was brilliant, ebullicnt, full
Of humor, character and life, knowing
apparently all the lower world of Dub
lin, and moving with an assured step.
Ii was ErrIs Boyne. the divorced hus-
band of Mrs. Llyn and the father of
Sheila Llyn; but this fact was not
known to Dyck. There was also
chance of it's not becoming known, be-
cause so many years had passed since
Erris Boyne was divorced.

the horizon Of Mallow's life-sky there
shone for an instant the light of an
evil star.

marked Miles Calhoun, as bell began
ringing in the tower outside. "Come
