KELLEEN, by Katherine Mary Flannigan, This is a true story, proving again that truth is stranger than fiction, and while written like a novel, it is bas- ed on the life of "Mrs. Mike's" great aunItehapp happened in Ireland eighty years ago, but the elements which compose it are not confined to one place or one time. Hatred, injustice, and evil still contend everywhere in the hearts of men, with love, justice and good- ness, and sometimes, as in this story, the latter win. The widow Honors. Kelleen had little enough, having recently lost both a devoted husband and a beloved little daughter. All she had now was the pride of her life, her son Rory, a fine boy of eighteen. With him and their Irish setter, Bessie, she lived in the modest home to which her Patrick had brought her as a bride and in which. her children had been born. When the story opens, Mrs. Kelleen is looking forward to Rory's marriage to lovely Mary Ellen Shannon, and to a contented old age. But fate wills otherwise. One day Rory goes off to Ballina, a neighbouring town, to sell two of their horses at the big County Fair. The day and night pass, and he does not return. At dawn, the police come and tell Honors, sick with anxiety, that Rory Is In jail, accused of murdering one Tim Mur- phy, a horse trader. Stunned and unbelieving, Honors accompanies them to Ballina, sees her son and is convinced of his in- nocence. But circumstantial evidence Is against him, and Rory is sentenced to life imprisonment—a concession on the part of the uneasy judge and jury. From that moment on, Hon- ora's every thought, every act, every energy is bent toward freeing Rory, a long process, which robs her of her health, her sight, small possessions, home, and finally of life itself. But even death cannot put an end to her efforts and her spirit continues her work until Rory once more is a free man.
