Davy Lynch's Ghost.

The hero. Davy Lynch, was born
to the west some seven or eight miles
and was the son Of a farmer. He
was brought up to do farm work, was
some six feet tall, broad shouldered,
agile, swift and strong. He was a
good type as young mon ran. tenn
perate and of an easy going DISPOSE
tion. But-and here's the ruling feat
ure-Davy was never friendly to the
good people, affected not to believe in
them, ridiculed the stories of them
and their ways and claims-in a
word, he spoke against them.
On the particular day a cattle fair
was held at a town, Dromina, with
a brother and also a friend of his
ON his way home. They left the
fair late in the evening, so that it
was approaching midnight when
they got near Ballagh. Seeing a
light at the home of farmer di-
rectly on the road, Davy told his
companions to walk along; that he
was going in to light his pipe and
would catch up with them. He did
go in, got his pipe going and in a
few minutes left, proceeding west
until he got to the Tough, and this is
the story as he told It:
II was just stepping past the Tough
and hurrying to catch up with James
and Ned when all of sudden it
seemed as II wind blew under my
feet and lifted me clean into the long
field. ! could not quite understand

the hoar frost of the morning is dis

eye; there. assuredly, the grass grows
green.
The hill slopes from east to SOUTH
west with a heavily wooded glen all
along the western side, and through
the glen flowing from the hill beyond

stream. Limestone is the general

rock and stone abound and at any
time, especially at night, the river
sings loudly as It runs with some
times splash as an otter jumps for
its prey. In the stiffness one may
sometimes be frightened at the sud-
den sound and echo among the
dense wood. an echo which is all
the more sonorous when 1t Is rain
Ing and a strong westerly gale Is
blowing.
The place at the water on the
roadway was called Ballagh, pro-
nounced Bal-lock. and the wooded
glen was called Plum Hill. The fort
was called Hector's Fort and, as
they say in Ireland, had a bad name; /;
that Is to say, some weird stories
were told of it; the fairies abounded
and strange noises were often heard,
and strange lights .yere seen fitting

winds blew around.

Their attitude showed resentment

Some Anecdotes
From the Vatican

IN HE vivid and rather battling
personality Of the new Pope
is beginning to penetrate the
bronze portals Of the Vatican, and
the local press is full of opinions and
even polemics about the real nature
of Plus XI. and the prospects for his
pontificate.
Plus is, all agree, man Of the ut
most personal vigor and directness.
The qualities Of the Alpinist who not
SO long ago scaled a precipitous
mountain in the three day climb,
spending the nights standing on his
feet on a narrow ledge, are evident
in the decisions of the pontiff. He
is a breaker of old traditions and a
maker of new ones and has a healthy
lack Of respect for the past. The
other day he remarked to certain
Roman noblemen who were debating
the moot question Of the Vatican's
relation with Italy: "It seems to me
that these gentlemen still have the
mentality of Leo Kills time."
On the other hand. certain circles
complain that the new pontiff is dill
atory and falls to make decisions
sharply or promptly enough. One
cardinal is credited with the remark
that If things continue as they now
are the Pope's decisions will have
only a retroactive value.
A little incident which shows the
independence Of the new pontiff arose
over his approval Of the appoint
ment Of four private chamberlains,
who had been nominated by Bene-
dict Plus desired in addition to give

Farmer Dunville's Tale.
Dunville was an alert, courageous
and powerfully built man. He and his
wife occupied the bedroom. They
were both awakened by a noise, as
though something had fallen in the
office.
Dunville at once grabbed the gun
and with his wife, who had a lighted
candle, went at once to the office
door, which he opened carefully,
holding his gun ready. Hardly had
he opened the door when a voice
from the inside said: "Mr. Dunville,
this is no enemy. / am Davy Lynch
and friend"
Davy repeated the story to Mrs.
Carney, the mother of the two dead
boys who befriended him. l heard
the story from her. Davy told me
the story himself and about that
time. Nineteen years later / was
given confirmation of her part as
related by Mrs. Dunville.

immigration inspectors when they ar

sisted the detention was merely on the
grounds that the couple might prove
undesirable aliens, but there was a hint
that the authorities wanted to question
them as to their pro-Soviet leanfngs.
The originator of the modern classic
dance, who was born in California, was
highly indignant. "The ideal" she ex-
claimed, when it was suggested that
Soviet activity might be the cause. "We
want to tell Americans of the starving
children in Russia, not about Soviet
politics" And to prove her husband is
a genius and poet, she slipped her
hand through his powdered tawny hair.
Her secretary acts as interpreter as the
dancer does not know Russian and her
husband cannot speak English or
French.

Check Amounted to $18O.95.
William F. Shanen of Ozaukee
county is the complaining witness,
whose sworn statement resulted in the
arrest of the Kenosha man. It is
charged that on September IL, 1922,
Miller gave check for $180.95, which
the latter attempted to cash, and did
not learn until the check was turned
into the Kenosha bank on which it was
drawn that there we're no funds on

ance in the circuit court at the Octo-
Der term on the charge of embezzle-
ment, but in this case his friends
hold that there has been a nlisunder-
standing, and that Miller has a good
defense. The charge was brought with
Edward Minkowski, who claims that
Miller sold stock of shoes for him
and did not return the money. Miller
is able to show that he was at the
time an officer of the Donnelly Shoe
company and claims that he entered
the agreement as such, and was able
further to show that all the purchas-
ers of the Minkowski stock turned
their money into the Donnelly com
pany.
