A41 her high spirits 'had left her, .and still believing he had walked .all those miles to see herself again, it was'with', a pathetic depression at her heart she let him go.

Charles Stuart•walked slowly down the grass -grown gravel drive, think - ,no less than she, that the first romance and, what, in that mood, he t nagined would be the last in ,his life had died at birth. For not only had Patricia passed him over in that room, but in that bitef half-hour of his visit he had learnt that, in less than a month.ls time, she would have left the world for the unapproachable life of the convent. Nothing that had passed between them that night in the garden at Carrickbarrohane House had had the power mind. Indeed t so fartfro' o i chsng•e being, changing it, it had only added acceleration to her intent. . Then he had learnt she was„ becoming ..a nun i i a year's, time. Now it was ,but a month. , He fell .to "wondering what sort of fate it.was that had brought him back those thousandsrof miles to, teach him this new wonder in life, and then deny him an expression for all the uplifting impulses ie, brought. Some- thing he imagined .must be wrong with the world: wheh it could treat a man in so harsh a .manner as that. For while 'under the influence of this most urgent passion of all, youth be- lieves greatly, so also does it greatly despair. The prince of fairy tales is he who fights with the stoutest heart of all when thereeis fighting to be done, and when there is none; is to be found seated, brokenhearted, by the side of the .king's highway, knowing. not. which way to turn or where in life be can find the substance to risk his sword upon. ' It is then that the old woman comes to his aid, targeting out the true way to that .heart of • his, tired -with all its wanderings. It was .then, indeed, ,that the old•womair, hi no greater disguise• than a common tinker." begging his days through, came to C•harIes . Stu- art. Up the drive 'from under, the trees he approached with his toes sticking out of his boots, his trousers in rags, too shoat to bide the fact that there was onlp one stocking to his ward- robe. A smear of.blood and dirt was down one cheek where his woman had Struck him the eight before, and wrapped in a dirty piece of sack -cloth he Carried a bundle under his arm. "'Tis a fine day, captain!" said he, stopping in the drive, Charles admitted the statement., but denied the rank. "Ab, shure, what's a name?" .said the man, ".'Tis the 'looks oh a man is better than his title. 'Tis the looks I go by," and Ire filled hip eyes with •adm1ration as he looked Charles Stu, art up and down. Fast on • that he' asked him for a crust of bread, It it always well when asking alms to -beg for what a man can never give you; moreover, it must be something, too', you do trot want- yourself. In 'pity, then, for your simple 'needs which he cannot supply, he is a thou- sand times more likely to give you what he can. ' Charles Stuart had no bread he car- ried with hien, but the tinker had heard the jingle- of money in his pockets as he walked., • "Shure, the business is vary bad" said:he. ' "What is the' business?" asked Charles. For answer, the tinker raid his bein- dle down upon the ,ground, undid the knot that kept it and displayed the motley garments ofa jester at a fair. , "I'm a clown. vee ,honour," said he, and 'in the most despondent voice in the world. "Shure, I does the clown- ing round all the fairs in the county of Waterford and 1 makes jokes for the gantry too. I won't put on the clothes now—there's a lady just gone by this' way, and I'd have to take me trousers off to get into these things, but if yee honour'll stand there' for the whisk of a cow's tail I'll tell ye a good wan. 'Tis a reel good wart, but I can't tell it'before the ladies— his not deceit. There was a man was married down in Lisfunshion--" • He got no further with his story than that. Too Concerned with other thoughts to be sick at the sight] of that leering expression ' of vulgar humour that bad cone into the old ,re.proliat's face, Charles, asked what lady it was he had seen go by, how she Was dressed, and what she was like. • - 'Twas dark she was," said the tin- ker, "with black hair, and seein' the tears was tumblin' down her cheeks, I said no more than the time of day to 'her. When a woman's cryin'," said he, "she can think of nothin' else, 'Twas no good tellin' a tale to her." , "Which way did she ,go?" The tinker ,pointed through the trees, .and•, waiting only so long •as to fetch a sixpence out of his pocket, which he' threw on the ground, Charles left him. and made his way through the trees to where a shaft of sunlight; fallitrg slentwfse--lrr-the-p'eol" guided him• on into the denser thicket of the Wood. • In places there were : clear/tags Where patches of primroses were: spread 'li'ke praying -mats 'in those sun- :ny courtyrards,or that temple of .the woods. Ana., there, in one of these; by .the side of a stream that still ran brown in the valleys: from the peatland- in the hills, he found Patricia seated on the limb of a tree, with head rais- ed and eyes questioning the sounds Of "his approach. When she saw who it ware—the blood came 'swift into . her cheeks. They were as when the sun strikes a p?ne 'stem; hot with a warmth and ruddy .glow, Palpably enough, she was uncertain what to do, and •as he came nearer, rose to her feet.' lie felt, in the solitude or that place, like a hunter coming up ,with atimid fawn, whose tracks• he has tollowed one mile upon another, never seeing her till then. , At the slightest 'Unex- pected unex'pected sound,, she might take to' the lightning' of her heels once more, when she would never permit so close an appoach again. So he came, creep- ing almost, fearful even, it seemed to him, of the cracking twigs beneath his. feet, - Yet in such experience a,s he had bad, there was Iittle need to regard her on the count 'of timidity. She had shown none • of it on the Stradbally road, and no more in the garden at Carrickbarrohane, while only half an hour ago there she had been in that.drawing-room, proving a higher •spar-, it than either ,of• her more timid sis- ters. - Nevertheless, the instinct 'was•true in him, 'aa true as when the hunter pauses at a veering breath . of, wind' that .blows of •a sudden in the direc- tion of the quarry he pursues. For timid every girl must be when love, the hunter, ,first comes tracking in .her' steps. And . swift enough • she knows the sounds of the chase in her heart, when that noise of the brush- wood breaking at the fall of a steal- thy tread comes nearer and nearer with every quickening pulse in her veins. It was with the instinct •of his' sex, 'and scarcely rising to his conscious mind,.. that Charles Stuart came war- ily, expecting every moment she would start in flight, when a look,•in her eyes' and a word on herjips would give him hisdismissal. "I wanted to see 'you," he' began quietly,. "and they told me you had come this way." "Who told ye?" "A tinker's man I met in'the drive." "Mightn't he have minded hie. own business?" said she. • "He would if I'd told hi:m," replied Charles. "Does that mean you'd ra-, 'ther I hadn't come?" She turned to the streamto avoid' an answer; then asked him what it was he wanted to see her for. "Didn't 'you know it was me in tine house just now?" said he, "I did, of course," she replied. "Well, why didn't you speak?" She looked, at him, puzzled at his want • of comprehension. Was he in- capable of realizing the shame she had felt? She said as much, and in- quired what sort of a girl he ,:might think her. . - "You were ashamed••at what I must think?" said he. "I was, of course,'' she cried, "and ye.-comin, to the house for the first time!" - Well, you see, I've been about the world," he answered her: " 'Tis not the first time I've seen a man—like that:" • ' "And would.n't it make 'a shame in ye' to be a man!" she cried again, hot in the coptempt of youth, and as intolerant. ' • "I'd be satisfied enough," said he, 'if I could take my drink like your father.'i "If ye took it as often," she gave him back,," Twould be a poor tort ,of man ye'd' be,2and shure, I'd 'not be speakin' to ye now," She looked at him with her eyes flashing, in fact, he was making her speak but poorly of the man she lov- edbest, arid hated most.. at that mom- ent, in all the world, "is it comin' out here ye were," said she, "and ye followin me to tell me this?" He shook his head, "I Wanted to ask you a question." "What is it?" He pulled at a button on his coat, a trick be had got from his father the balance of whose wits was some- times dependent upon a single cotton: thread. "I went to know if it's true," he said slowly, "that you're going into a convent next month." "Who told ye that?" she asked. "Your ,sister Sophie." "I suppose 'twas out to see her ye came?" said she. He shookhis head again. "Yirra, what did ye walk, that nine miles for; then?" "To •see You," He said it with the simplicity of Confession you will find in a child when the unavoidable questionds put to it and equivocation is no longer possible: He was as far frgm artful- ness as a lover as when he fought, for not only is all fair, but all is the same, in love as in war. As a man fights, so he loves, and 1f he will take a mean advantage in the one, so you may be sure he will in the other. ;'To see you," said he, and so direct was that answer that it brought her to silence., though there were voices shouting tumult in her heart, "Well, you haven't answered my question," he went on. "Is it true?" There was more than one way in which she Could tell him how' true it was, and the thought of that trick' he had played upon her that night', coni. fitg uninvited to her mind, the re- membrance_ as Well .of the scene he had just witnessed in the hoose ac-. +tompanying it; she gave liiiiHrer an= serer ,hi the Very way', perhaps, site ,least intended.

He came driving back to Waterpark with a trapful, singing as though he had paid for the lot. jaheedh with the way he had,-, they had 'been -obtained. nearly as easily • as- paying for them.. With regard to the invitations, they asked 'Who they, liked. 'A fortnight before there had been. ,a solemn meet - lig in the kitchen, presided over in a judicial capacity by Mrs. Slattery, when all the names under proposal were put up to the general vote. Alt were suggested by Sophie, and when it came to the name of Charles Stu- art, he was voted out, Patricia mak- ing no comment on that mutter, but turning away—it was Mrs.' Slattery who' observed her—and looking out of the kitchen window, "Shure, why wouldn't ye have him?" inquired Mrs. Slattery. "Isn't he .the nicest fella I seen comin' up to the door since ye put tip yeer hair, Miss Sophie?", But after what had happened that afternoon, nothing /on earth, they said, could induce' &em to change their • ruling. "He wouldn't taccept,'' said Sophie, "so what's the good! I know by the way be left that afternoon. Father ought to have been ashamed. of him- self-" • "At that Patricia had turned round. "There's no man," she said, "can take his :drink and' be a gentleman like father can!" They held up their hands in pre- tended. horror: 'Twits •a fine nun' she'd. make, they • said, with senti- ments like that. When Sophie read out the names to John Desmond that evening, he asked which was the young man he had met that afternoon in the draw- ing -room. ' "We're not asking him," she re- plied. "An' why not?" said he. • She feared her father more than Patricia,. but she told him the truth. "''Tis no good asking halm;"' she added, "he wouldn't come." •.

If he did not remember Charles's name, at least there had not gone out of his mind that which had pass- ed between them. "Begorra," said he, "it 'tis the way ye think I made a fool of meself, won't I write the invitation to him witil„me own hand.” And then, with a shrewd glance, he looked up at her, '-'D'ye', want to lose him without a kick in ye?" said. he. "Shure, I don't 'know that I ever had him," she replied. He tossed back his head at' that and told' her in a few trenchant sentences what he knew of men, • "'Tis neither• nine miles nor nine yards a man will walk," said he, "to do his duty to a woman, if a' be he hasn't got his heart in 'it. Ah, shure, don't talk to me about hag comin' all' those ways out of Waterford to pay bis respects the ye. There's little re- spect -a. young man has fora woman whin his heart doesn't give it to him." He.wrote the letter himself, refus- ing all apology, he said, for that lit- tle misadventure wlfl'ch had d*eurred when last he came to Waterpark.

But there is another and immediate benefit from the credit. Fortuitously, perhapts,, the credit was passed by Congr•, ss within two weeks of the as- sembiy-of the peace conference at Paris: It brings Britain and the United States closer together, creates the basis for their co-operation, That means co-operative"growth and a com- bining of their coinmercial strength.

Hadi' Congress not voted the loan what would have been the position at Paris? There would not have beep. that pledge to co-operate in .commer- cial matters. Britain would have been faced with the prospect of having to• trade along regimented, bilateral channels, obtaining in imports . from. each nation only the equivalent•of what. it 'could sell to each.

He himself was going to drive her to the• little branch convent at Rathgormuck, and that same evening she was to be tak- en by, the, nuns in their ramshackle,, closedrin conveyance to the Rever- end Mother at Clonmel.

Coming into the kitchen at the end of her long day, Mrs. Slattery had stoad a --moment watching him, with, as much pity in her heart as eves: she had felt for a man in her life. "What would ye""'do," she asked sud- denly --"what would ye do if some young fella proposed :himself` --to Miss Pat tomorrow night?" "By gosh!"' said he, standing'up as if,her hand bad struck him.

LL iOWELL rrMrdN1 SNAP�� : SNST GUILD : PICTURES AT THE CIRCUS OR FAIR Circuses and county fairs offer unusual picture -taking opportunities. - LI VERY enthusiastic amateur pho- tographer is continually on the lookout for new camera' subjects. Here is a good rule to follow: When- ever you want to find new and in- teresting material for your camera, you should go -where, something is going on. But film is still not any toe plenti- ful so shoot judiciously. Before you snap theshutter ask yourself this question, "Is it worth while taking?” If you believe at is'ishoot. If you don't—pass it by. I can imagine no better hunting. ground for camera subjects... than, circuses, carnivals, and fairs, About these places there is always activity of- many and varied types. At the circus you may be able to photo- graph animals. You may catch clowns and performers going from their dressing teas to the "big top." You will be abre to picture kids nibbling away at tauffy rolls of pink cotton candy, ttrnundhifrg popcorn, or tugging at their mothers' shirts and begging for a bottle of' pop,...You' 'can picture the sideshow• barkeer't the midtw;ay, the; sideshow placards, eir- eus flags,sworkhooses]aul g.eq. uip meta. At the Carrnival you 'aril] j(nd' Man of these same things. You will also find interesting amusement devices such as merry-go-rounds and ferris- wheels which will provide excellent picture subjects. When you ride of the ferris-ivheel, take your camera along and try pointing it upward toward the la'cework of metal above you. It is astorli,,ahing how many in- teresting pattern shots you can dill. cover. At the county fair you. may be able to picture horse races, exhibits - of prize _vegetables and stock, and a°' variety of other Characteristic topics that you will find nowheve else. You May . be able to picture a frantic argiarnent between judges at the exhibit. You will aso find Many" booths that are just as interesting - as those at the circus.
