I said, accosting It bare arm- ed woman who had just picked up a bundle of baby that had. rolledout or an open door, 'Right beyent, sir,' she cheer- fully responded, uuceremouiouely tucking the baby under one arnl, that she might more freely poi;tt with the other.

'Aye.' 'T'hen, aura,' she exclaimed, whale her face stretched and gleamed with joy, 'it's myself that won't be gone a jiffy.' And with that she was off like a shot, while the people behind the bar have by this time fairly exploded with excitement. As we started out the door, the proprietress haiied us loud- ly. 'Hould ou, gentlemen, hou'd on 1' etre called, while she made speed to get through the little half -door lead- ing behind the bar, and for which she was a very snug fit. 'She's going to hug you, whispered the judge, as we stopped ; and faith I thought she was—but she stopped on the verge of that demonstration and fervently ejaoalated : 'An' sure, you don't mean to say that Norah is after living at service with yez own blessed self ?' 'She certainly i3,' I replied, with a North American smile. 'The likes of that 1' she cried, look- ing alternately from me to the now completely petrified observers behind the bar. 'Well, it's right glad her mother will be to meet yez.' Hereupon, after several interchang- es of like remarks, the judge and I passed out, promising to return di- rectly, which promise,' after a short walk along the narrow,crooked streets we ful ailed.

It was not a scene to be easily described -far less could it. bo lightly treated, for the element of pathos so largely predominated. The - bustling ' Mrs. Kelleher with great thoughtfulness invited us at once to ascend a pair of winding stairs to the beat room above, and here site read aloud to the still weep - ping woman the letter I bad brought, uuotuously, with utter disregard of my embarrassment, upon the person, al encomium. with which it :;►bound-. ed. 'Au' now, gentlemen,' raid the beaming bootees, after these personal ;natters had bean fully discussed, 'what -will yrs be pleased to take ?' We murmured with a deprecatory shake of the head that AA repreeenta,. twee of the good old ;state of Maine it would hardly become us to accept. of anything in the way of bibulous, hospitelity. '° But such .au occasion ae title was nut to be too lightly passed over, and even if we didn't care for beer there were others present who did. so On descending to a larger room below evetbody was invited to driuk to the hoal.lh of the two Ain. eri• eau gentlemen.
