Ny friend shaw Desmond, came in 10 see
me to-day. Ne is a big. brosd-shoUldered,
gray-haired Irishman, in the early forttes,
who is rapidly making a reputation as & nov
elst, and, as lecturer. has long been well
known 70 English and American audiences.
We talked chiefly Of Ireland, and listened
lrcathless as he discussed the adventures
and experiences which befell him while he
was gathering material for his forthcoming
book upon the inner history Of Sim Fein.
The conversation naturally turned toward
Erskine Childers. Desmond said the last
time he saw Childers was ia tramear, re-
turning from Terenure. he looked distraoght,
worn almost 10 a shadow. IN a Hash Of
elairvoyance ne warned him Of what was IN
store. "You will die in cause you DO not
really understand and you will be killed by
men who do not really understand you
ChildSyss reply was: at cannot be helped.
II is the only thing for me TO do" recalled
my own few and casual meetings with
Childers in Dublin drawing room. What a
difference three years can make! When
saw him Childors struck me as being
typical Englishman Of the educated upper
elass-well dressed, we'll hammered, well
read. There was nothing about him 70 indi-
cate what he was TO develop into. One would
have put him doRn ss bureauerat rather
than as a fanatic OF a poet The spirit Of
Ireland does indeed play strange tricks with
the soul Of man.
