Outdid Druid Miracles.
AS Patrick came up the hill, so say
the old traditions, the Druids per-
formed many miracles, including their
well-known feat of creating a dense
fog to lead the Christians astray. But
Patrick's lips moved steadily in
prayer He matched every Druid
miracle with a better one-and he did
not go astray in the fog, but moved
straight to the high king, whom he
greeted as one strong man greets an
other. The chiefs and the lawgivers
and the poets gathered around, and
there on Tara hill, at the very heart
Of Ireland, the most influential men
in the country listened to the great
est story and the most consummate
dramatic narrative that they had ever
heard. It was the story OF Jesus

was an angry buzzing among the
pruids. The high king turned ex-
pectantly toward the Hill of Slane,
not far off, and watched curious
procession winding up the Royal way
escorted by the kings guards. These
were the apostles of the new faith,
Christianity, who the evening before,
when all the fires in Ireland were
quenched, had dared to light cere-
monial fire on the Hill of Slane, thus
violating the unbroken tradition of
centuries.
The Druids had instantly predicted
that unless the unlawful blaze were
put out and the Christians punished
there would be an end to true re-
ligion forever. King Leary had sent
men to put out the fire, but some
how 1t was not put out but blazed all
the more cheerily, TO the enormous

leader of the audacious Christians,

Just at the hour of dawn on Easter
Sunday in the year 1873 A. D., an in
credibly ancient but eyer-impressive,
ceremony was unfolding itself upon
the historic hill of Tara In Ireland
The sacred hill was not then as 1t is
today, a gracious, gently sloping
mound, clothed in the rich soft grass
of the Emerald isle. 1t was a civic
center, crowded with buildings of mas
sive oaken construction and had been
for ages the seat of the Ard-Rl, or
high king of Ireland.
AS the sun began to tint the east
ern sky the Ard-Ri himself, Leoghaire
Geary), could be seen by the multi
tude, arrayed in splendid garments
and surrounded by the chief Druids,
lawglvers and poets of Erin. soft
respectful murmur rippled among the
thousands of common people on the
plain below, for the sight was one
to remember. The Ard-Ri, moreover,
was a fighter of note, and well liked.
1t was great moment in the
Druidical year-the hour of the COM
ing of spring-and the Aryan an
cestors of these Irish had never failed
to celebrate 1t, even during those long
centuries when they were fighting
their way across Asia and Africa to-
ward their isle of destiny, Peter Gray
Wolf writes, in the Los Angeles
Times. AS the red rim of the sun
peeped above the woods to the east
a thin wisp of smoke rose from the
high altar. There was a burst of mu-
sic, dominated by the penetrating
notes of the harp Then, indeed, the
whole vast assembly listened in alb
solute silence, for the chief harpers
of Ireland were there and they could
make the vibrant chords speak as
with the music of the immortal gods.
Now chorus of youths and virgins
added their fresh young voices. The
people began to stir Another spring
had come to Ireland. Householders
came to the altar and lighted domes-
tic tapers at the sacred flame. At
the same hour, in every settlement
In Ireland, the same ceremony, though

st. Patrick came to Ireland to preach
the gospel, King Laeghaire who ruled

brought to the point where he believed
