There was no more popular young fellow in County Kilkenny, Irelana, a couple of hundred years ago thnin Lawrence Nevin. Larry was a bit wild and was Famed, like Mi full of nothin; For break tie breaking the hear But there ouly one cared to influence, and that belonged to Kathleen O'Grady, the youngest daughter of The O’Grady, -who lived In the big castle shaped house on the hill. Though Larry came of oue of the oldest families in Ireland, he was not thought a desirable suitor, There were stories —most of which could be traced to a rival, Terence O'Toole—that Larry made his living on the highway, a fashionable method among gentlemen beggars of that day. O'Toole was the owner of a fine es- tate adjoining The O'Grady’s property, and he desired to unite the two by a marriage with Kathleen. Unfortunate. 1y for Larry, her tather was in favor of the project. There was only one thing In the way of its consummation, and that was the reckless Nevin, whom the girl loved, but who, passing from one scrape to another, was constantly trampling on what few chances he had. True, they consisted in the love of the girl, but a daughter of The O’Grady must make a proper mateh, The truth is Larry was not so bad as he was painted. A breakneck ride: somewhat given to gaming, ever ready, like all true Irishmen, for a fight, there was quite enough truth in his esca- pades for an enemy to build on and erect a fine structure of wickedness. The only article of value Larry pos- sessed was a Dblooded mare—Kit, he called her—that he had won at a rafile and that no money could buy from him. One evening shortly after dark he was riding Kit on the highway and suddenly remembered an engagement. He thrust his hand in his fob for his watch and, not finding it, remembered that it was in pawn for money that he had needed to help a poor beggar in distress. Just then a horse’s hoofs sounded on the road ahead, and in a few minutes a mounted figure ap- peared, “Could you oblige me with the time, sir?” asked Larry. The horseman drew a pistol from his holster and, letting drive at Larry, dashed past him, calling back: “I kuow you, Lawrence Nevin. You may take purses on the highway, but you can’t take mine.” Larry, who was untouched by the bullet, sat on his horse looking after the man in astonishment. “And I know you, Terence O'Toole, and if I don't keep me wits I'll be hanged for highway robbery and no thanks to any one but you.” Now, O'Toole was a magistrate and ‘would preside at the trial at which he ‘would be the only witness. Larry took in the situation and with Irish quick- ness for declsion made up his mind to try for an alibi. Putting spurs to Kit, he rode briskly on for a mile, took a road to his left, struck into flelds over which he had often followed the fox and, lighted only by the stars, kept his mare on the run till midnight, when he reached Maryborough, which he skirted, and, stopping at a farmer's house beyond, rubbed down Kit while she was taking a small feed. From Maryborough Larry continued north- ward, now beginning to push the mare for a Detter pace. Taking an early breakfast at Tullamore, he shot across country to Kilbeggan, where he found a road to Mullingar. Thence the coun- try was level—at least, not mountain- O’'Donis, wid his head but curls, Is of the boys and of the girls. heart he ous—and he pushed his jaded mare on, breathing her every hour, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon rode up to Carrick - on - Shannon, having done a hundred miles since starting. Leaving his horse in a stable on the south side of the river—the animal sank down at once in her stall-he entered a wood, threw off a buff coat and breeches and donned a green velvet suit he had pick- ed up on the way. This done, he cross- ed the river on foot and entered the town. The people were all out on the green, and Larry, stepping up to the mayor, asked him the time. The mayor, draw- Ing his watch, gave the hour and com- plimented Larry on his beautiful green and gold lace suit with silk waistcoat. Then Larry proceeded to make himself popular with the company. When a few days later Larry Nevin returned to Kilkenny a bailiff clapped a hand on his shoulder, and he was taken before Magistrate O'Toole on a charge of highway robbery. He plead- ed not guilty, and on his trial the mayor of Carrick swore that twenty hours after the robbery Larry had been in that town. He could swear to the hour, for, being asked the time, he had looked at his watch. He had worn a green velvet and gold suit, instead of a buff one worn by the highway- man. O'Toole at the beginning of the trial had taken the witness stand and ldentified Larry as the man who had asked for the time after nightfall on the highway with intent to rob, but ‘when Larry proved his alibi O'Toole weakened and owned that he might have been mistaken. Larry was ac- quitted with great rejoicings. The charge made by O'Toole, ren- dered groundless by the alibi, was a great injury to him. Larry was in- vited by The O'Grady to dine, and he told the whole story at the table. The O’Grady was so delighted with Lar- ry’s way of establishing his innocence that he vowed he should have Kath- leen if he had to take to the road to support her. - The pair were married soon after, and Larry became a successful attor- ney. SYLVIA LEWIS BALDWIN. The Questions They Ask. The capacity of the average small boy for asking questions Is practically unlimited, but it is doubtful whether more searching inquiries have ever been made by a boy than those pro- pounded by a youngster to his father, who had taken him for a steamer trip. Here is a partial list: “Is that water down there any wetter than the water in the Atlantic ocean?” “What makes the water wet?” “How many men could be drowned In water ag deep as that?” Old Geut (painfully)—Ugh! Oh! I will have the law on the owner of this fey sidewalk. You saw me “fall,” boy? Shrewd Youth—Not on yer life 1 didn’t. My old gent owns dat sidewalk. ~—Leslie’s Weelkly Foiled Again. Dinkle—Say, I want to tell you some- thing my little boy got off yesterday. Buffer—Cut it out, old man., TIve heard it before. My boy got it off a ‘week ago. Martial Repartee, 2 The Drummer—They tell me that you are an awful blower. The Bugler—And they tell me that whenever the enemy’s sighted you al- ways beat it.—St. Louis Post-Dispatsh, The Madrigal. The word madrigal sounds very formidable to a . beginner in music. More than once have I heard the ques- tlon, “What is a madrigal?” Strictly speaking, a madrigal is an elaborate vocal composition in from three to six parts, generally sung in chorus. The melody should not be carried through a single part, but should be dispersed in phrases through the different voices in the conversational manner peculiar to the music of the sixteenth and sev- enteenth centuries. The true madrigal has no accompaniment. This form of song is considered English, but Is thought to have had its origin in the Netherlands. The exact derivation of the word is not known. The first madrigals are Delieved to have been morning songs, shepherds’ lays or songs In praise of the Virgin.—Circle Magazine.

It cap- | tured the interest of a crowd that gath- | ered. The old man listened to the com- ments, some of (hem unkind jests. Then he spoke, almost in a tone of | apology. “We're goin’ to Texas, and we € du’t leave it behind,” he e “You see, it hel ed to our little boy, that's dead.

I am not going to Luy them till the end of the season, when the price will be cut. For the same reason I am not going to lose a day in securing the articles not crossed off. The two articles I cut out I can wait for without much inconven- lence. As for the others, since I have to buy them in season ana the regular price, I will buy them at once and have at least a month and a half’s extra use of them. That makes me break even with the end of the season. I save by purchasing early and late, though the early purchases I deem most economical, particularly in things where style is a consideration.”—Co- lumbus Dispatch. The Seat of Authority. It is an unwritten law on shipboard, and especially on men-of-war, that the quarter deck is for the exclusive use of officers, and all good seamen remem- ber it, in spite of their ambitions. It once happened that an ancient mar- iner, a “five striper,” while on shore leave captured a mule. Not without difficulty he mounted the animal and perched himself as near the tail as pos- sible. The mule objected in every way known to a mule and in ways several and unexpected. “Jack, sit more amidships,” called out an engineer officer who happened past; “you'll ride easier.” “Captain,” grinned the old salt, “this is the first craft I ever commanded, and it's a pity if T can't stay on the quarter deck.” Stanton Could Swear. One day President Lincoln saw Sen- ator Fessenden coming toward his of- fice room. Mr. Fessenden had received the promise of some appointment in Maine for one of his constituents. The case had been overlooked. As soon as | Mr. Lincoln caught sight of the sena- tor he saw Tessenden was angry and | Jane! ! called out, “Say, Fessenden, aren’t you an Episcopalian?” Mr. Fessenden, somewhat taken aback, answered, “Yes, I belong to that persuasion, Mr. President.” Mr. Lincoln then sald: “I thought so. You swear so much like Seward. Seward is an Episcopalian, But you ought to hear Stanton swear. He can beat you both. He is a Presby- terian.” An Odd Mistake. Captain Amundsen, having lost sev- eral dogs in his expedition to the arc- tic regions, told some of the Netchillie tribe that he would purchase one from them. The suggestion caused conster- nation and was promptly refused. An explanation was demanded. The man applied to returned next day with a chubby, laughing Loy on his back. “Such we do not sell,” he said. Amund- sen was astonished. “You wished to purchase one,” said the man, seeing Amundsen’s perplexity. Finally it was discovered that the Greenlandic term for “dog” was equivalent to “child” in the Netchillie language. His Last Chance. “Did you ever mnotice,” said Mrs. N. Peck, “that about half the pictures in the photographers’ windows are of bridal couples? I wonder why they talways rush off to the photographer as soon as the knot is tied.” “I guess the husband is responsible for it,” said Mr. Peck. “He realizes that it is about his last chance to ever look pleasant.” A Word For Herself. The young widow of an old husband inscribed the following words upon her dear departed’s tomb: “To the memory of Mathurin Bezu- quet, who left this vale of tears at the age of ninety-nine years, eleven months and twenty days, deeply grieved at having to leave behind him the most charming’ and faithful of wives.”— Pele Mele. Professional Ethics. The acquitted woman (young and pretty) kissed her lawyer. “Madam,” said he, with an attempt at firmness, “my stipulation was that there should be no fee in this case. You must permit me to return it.”’— Philadelphia Ledger. Three Sick Men. It is a curious fact that three of the men who did most to revolutionize the world had always bad health.
