LITTLE JEWISH GIRL
SETS NOTABLE EXAMPLE

Some months ago a little Jewish
girl, Of Louisville, whose father is a
we'll known manufacturer, was told
by her fond parent that she should
learn to cook. He then promised that
he would give her S. for the first meal
she should prepare for the family with
out help from any one.
A few days ago the proud little girl
Informed her father that she had pre-
pared the excellent dinner to which
he was just sitting down while The two
house cooks sat In the kitchen and
read the newspapers.
1t did not take long for the surprls-
ed and delighted father to hand over
the five dollar bill to the little slrl.
There, she exclaimed, that's my
contribution to the starving Jewish
children In Europe"

1t was a harsh encounter with the

The arrest was hard enough - but one

quarters of Dublin frequented by Col
Inns and Mulcahy they were surround
ed by enthusiastic friends who would
and did hamper the hunters to the
best of their ability and were only too
anxious to give shelter to the quarry
All that was necessary was to choose
some closely built district and to open
connections and runwayS between
adjoining houses, allowing of com
nunicadon through partition wall,
roof or cellar.
A house so prepared was almost alb
soIute1y safe. The appearance OF
sufficient men to surround the whole
block gave ample warning for escape.
The entry of raiders into a single
house was the signal for removal to
the next, and by the time the
search was complete the fugitive
might be many miles away. 1t re-
quired swift and accurate work on
the part of the hunters even to find
any tracks of their quarry.
Capture of Leaders Sought.
1t would be impossible to chronicle
all the many attempts at the capture
of Collins and Mulcahy which were
actually made, besides providing a
story of weary reiteration. One will
serve as a type of them all. On a
certain day in the Winter of 1920
information reached the authorities
that the famous Dick Mulcahy would
be at a certain house for at least an
hour from IL o'clock that night. The
locality seemed a favorable one for

a raid. 1t was in a district of de-
tached houses, surrounded by gardens,
almost on the outskirts of the city
1t was decided to make the attempt,
and the necessary instructions were
issued.
The night turned out suitable to the
operation, dark and overcast with a
light rain falling, making observation
practically impossible. Shortly after
IL o'clock parties of men in twos and
thlrees creipt UP to the house by all
the available approaches. Very few
of these parties met anybody on their
Journey-it was not the sort of night
to wander about in-but all kept a
careful lookout for scouts who might
give the alarm. The greatest dan
ger they ran was of being seen from
the windows of one of the houses they
passed, whose occupants might have
bean aware of the rendezvous and
have telephoned a warning.
One patrol only, ineXp erienced in
the work, made a bad b1under. See
ing a dark form crouching in door
way, they turned to investigate,
whereat the form took to his heels
and ran. Instead of pursuing him
as noiselessly as possible one of the
patrol put UP his rifle and fired, miss
ing him. of course. in the rain and
darkness. They were a quarter of a
Shooting Very Common.
Had Mulcahy or his watchers heard

if they had? Shots We're pretty
common in Dublin about that time;
even as they listened they could hear
an occasional sharp crack in the dis
lance. Nothing seemed to move and
after a breathless interval they re-
suned their way.
AS they reached the house they felt
rather than saw it was already sur
rounded by other groups of men
crouching behind what shelter was
afforded by shrubs and garden walls.
They took up their allotted position
in silence and waited. Everything
seemed deadly quiet. The house they
were watching was in darkness, SEEM
ed empty and uninhabited. One or
two CLEANS of light were to be seen
dimly behind the curtains of the sur
rounding houses, blurred and faint
through the rain.
Suddenly a bright glare shone out
from an uncurtained window high up
in big house some distance down
the road. Was it a signal? An
officer seized a rife and IeveIed it,
waiting an instant. his finger on the
trigger. A woman's arm was seen
drawing the curtains of the window,
and the glare softened to diffused
glow. Without a sound the officer
lowered his rifle, and the unseen
mems breath relapsed in a long
sigh.

the front door of the house, and a

But now and then it happened that
one or other of them gave a rendez-

vey a change of plan, and then 1t

If a raid were ma de under these
circumstances it divulged to the Irish
Republican leaders the channel by
which news reached the British IN
teIIigence Service and also insured to
them a safe meeting elsewhere. 1t
was essential therefore to discover
that the rendezvous was genuine in
