Einmet Uoolau. a young man living
In County Tipper.iry, Ireland. whs oue
day walking on the bank of the river
Snir doins a bard job of thinking, ills
eyes were ou tlie ground before him,
and so intent was lie ou tlie subject
that be did not even bear a bird chirp
ing iu .1 tree above hi3 head. Sudden
ly he was stopped both iu his progress
and his reverie by a girl who stood di
rectly before him and wjw looking at
him with u merry face.
"What are you thinking about, Em
met, that you can't see a yard before
you?"
A change came over the young man's
face at sight of the cheery maiden be
fore him. His own lighted lip with a
momentary pleasure.
"I'm gotn' to America, Eileen," he
snid, "and, considerin' that I haven't n
penny to me nume, I was wondeiln'
how I was goin' to get there."
It was now the girl's turn to look so
ber. The twinkle left her eye, and the
smile left her lips.
"And what are you goin' to America
for, Emmet r" she asked In a tremu
lous voice.
"XO niUKj me luriuue.
"Anil lcare your poor ohl father?"
"Yes."
"And yonr mother—what will she Co
without the boy she loves sa vreT:"
"Yes, I must leave both father and
mother. I'm dotu' 'Shi no good here,
and once In America, where they say
there's plenty of work for all, I may be
able to send 'em enough to make 'cm
comfortable."
They walked to the bank of the river
and sat down on the turf tinder a tree.
Eileen had spoken one word for Em
met's parents and two for herself. The
two had grown up together, and.
though they had not been aware of it
this intention of Emmet to put 3,000
miles of ocean between them had re
vealed it to Eileen and had givcu a
glimmer of it to Emmet. The mind of
man full of plans for conquest doe?
not so readily settle upon the seuti
menta! features of life as the woman
whose inactive sphere gives her more
opportunity. Eileen sat mute and de
jected.
"You don't approve of my plan?"
said Emmet. "Will you tell ma.why?"
To this there was no answer.
"You're thinkin' maybe that it's fool
ish for a man-to talk about goin' to a
foreign country when he has no money
to pay his way."
Still there was no reply Eileen sat
looking down ou the gently Bowing
river beneath them, apparently as
much wrapped in feeling as Emmet
had been in thought when they rnet
"If it's leavin' father and mother
you're thinkin' of I believe I can do
'em more service ,'oin' where I'll
get plenty of work jiuJ good pay than
stayin' here, where there's little work
and poor pay."
Even this suggestion failed to elicit
any word from Eiieen. Emmet was
looking down upon her and saw that
her eyes were wet "Toil me. Eileen."
he said softly, "why you oppose my
goin' to America."
She looked up at him. anl at last he
received his answer. "I don't want
/ou to go." '
The few words, spoken almost in a
whisper, revealed to the man not only
that the girl loved him, but revealed
to him that she was as much to him
as he was to her. It was the only
proposition ever made between them
that their lives should be linked, ami,
singularly enough, it came from the
girl. But it sufficed for these two low
ly creatures, and it enabled Emmet to
sresk more plainly—to tell her that he

ble. hut would work hard and save
every penny that ho might have
enough beyond what ho needed for
them to send for lier, and they would
found a home In the new country
where—so they believed—all grew rich.
IIow Emmet: Doolan managed to
get to Auierlci without the where
withal to pay his way concerns this
story only so 'nr. as to show that a
man who could accomplish such a feat
was bound to snccee:!. And Emmet did
succeed In time, though he found It up
hill work II id his mind not been Used
On a dertnlie purpose be would prob
ably not have. hu<i the stimulus to
work and pinch th.it he might accom
plish it and attain Ills goal.
Eileen ivas not the girl to let her ,
lover do all thac they required. She I
obtains! a position as Lilly's maid In 1
the home of a wealthy family in Dub
lin, where she i-eceived good wages, !
neaiiy all of which she saved Long
before Emmet was able to send his j
| father and mother any funds Eileen j
| was sending them small amounts, !
i which she permitted them to think J
; came from their son in America. They i
| discovered the deception In time, but
not ill! Emmet himself began to remit j
! Of tlie two lovers Eileen advanced
j the more rapidly so far as savings ,
| were concerned. Emmet had his trade
| to learn, and It was hard snatching at
! times even to make n living for him
! self. lie was not only a faithful work
| er, but had a mechanical bent which
| served him well. Even as a helper he
I managed to save a little, though he
sometimes went hun;,Ty to do so. But
1 when he became so proticieut in his
j trade as to comman 1 the regular union
wage his finances began to Improve
I rapidly.
All this took time. it was several
years before be was able to earn
lils $1 a day. and even then there
was not always work to do. It was
not till Emmet had been iu America
tour years thai he begau to put aside
(i fund to briug Eileen to him. This
| fund he started at the beginning of a
(new year and calculated that he would
have enough by the following autumn
to buy Eileen's ticket across the water.
Unfortunately he was laid up by Ill
ness soon after he began to put aside
this fund and was Idle for two months.
Eileen received a letter early in
January telling her of her lover's in
tentions and 'another shortly afterward
that he was laid up with an illness.
She had saved enough money to pay
her way to America aud made up her
mind to go to Emmet of her own ac
cord since he was not able to send for
her. She came to this resolution in
February, but it was .March before she
could make her arrangements to de
part Then, too. she must ge he.me to
say goodby to her parents and re
ceive a blessing from Emmet's father
and mother to take to him. However,
she got away at last, anxious to reach
her lover, who was still an invalid.
Eileen's intention was to surprise"
ESjmet and in none of her letters did
she give him the slightest hint of her
coming. She wrote him that she long
ed to be able to nurse him back to
health, and lie replied gratefully that
If she were with hiiu be would recover
more rapidly, but bis greatest disap
pointment was that he was rising up
the fund he had started with which to
bring her to him in necessary expenses,
Including doctor's bills.
The last letter Emmet received from
home before Eileen sailed was from
his mother. She was n very pious wo
man and had often written her eon to
be sure not to neglect his church du
ties. In this letter she told him that
she was sending him a gift that he
would receive on or about St Pat
rick's day. She believed that it would
make him well, for she sent with it her
blessing.
Emmet was very curious to know
what this gift was his mother was
sending him and wondered how it
would come. He saw no way except
by express, and. although his mother
had his address, be sent n postcard to
"each express company's local office
that It might noi be delayed for want
of his street and number.
On the mornluj: of St Patrick's day
Emmet's gift had hot arrived. There
was a telephone in the hmisc In which
THE LIBERTY BELL.

The Panama-Pacific wants the famous relic as na exhibit
no lived, and since lie was too week I
to leave bis bed be asked bis hindlady
to telephone the express olHecs to ask
If any package bad been received for I
him. Every olHce declared tbat noth !
ing had been received for him, and be
was disappointed. About 11 o'clock in
the morning the landlady came to bis
room and said to him:
"Your St Tatrick's day gift from 1 re
land has arrived. Shall 1 bring it up?"
"Of course. Bring it up at once."
"I don't know that I'm able to car
ry it."
"Is It very heavy?"
"I think It must weigh about 100
pounds."
"Well, well!" I suppose it must stay
there till I can get up and handle it
myself."
"Maybe It can come of Itself."
Before Emmet could reply to this
apparently absurd proposition the door
was flung open, nnd Eileen ran to Em
met's bed and. kneeling beside it,
tbrew her arms about him.
"I'm the gift your mother sent you.
Emmet," she said. "Both she and your
father hoped 1 would arrive on St.
Patrick's day. They said they'd be
thlnkin' of us all this blessed day as
beln' together."
"Thanks be to God!" was all the In
valid could say. clasping his arms
about Eileen.
"Aud now that I've come you must
get well right away."
"That I will. I'm thinkin' I'm well 1
already. But how did you manage
nbout the money for. your passage.
Eileen, seein' I had uone to send you?"
"I saved it from my wages."
At that moment there came strains
of martini music from without.
"It's the parade," said Emmet "I'm
thlnkin' I'll get up nnd we'll have a
look at it"
"Are you strong enough?"
"Strong enough? I could carry an
ox on me back now."
Emmet, wrapped in the bedclothing,
with Eileen's assistance, managed to
get to a window, where a chair was
placed for him. The arrival of his
love, the sight of the parodors moving
by, the sound of bugle and beat of
drum, were so Inspiring that be said If
be bad known bow strong be was be
would be marching with them, and 1
Eileen needed to hold him in his chair
to keep him from starting up. She
managed to kpep him quiet by giving
him a green flag to wave to the boys
below, while with the other hand be
keld hers under the window sill, where
they could not be seen.
Under snt-li a stimulus Emmet could j
not be kept in bed. He was soon up
for good, the banns between blm and
Eileen were published in the church
and they were duly married, but this 1
was uot till Emmet bad returned to
work and they had hired rooms, which
they entered Immediately after tin
wedding.
All this occurred years ago. Emmet
Is now a contractor'and has built many
a structure of which he may be justly
proud and which together have made
him prosperous. Ho and Eileen have
a large family. The holiday the chil
dren enjoy most is Christmas, but for
their parents St. Patrick's day Is near
est to their hearts.

LEGAL FALLACIES.
Ajicient Superstitions That Tenaciously
Cling to Life.
On the subject of "Some Popular
Legal Superstitions" Case and Com
ment says that there are many miscon
ceptions of- legal doctrines, usually
tenaciously held and sometimes rashly
acted upon to the client's undoing,
some of which are so-grotesquely dis
torted that It is difficult to .trace them
to their origin. One of the most widely
spread but fortunately harmless of
these Is that in order that a will disin
heriting nn heir may be valid he must
be "cut off with a shilling." This no
tion is erronebus, but Blaekstone finds
a foundation for it in the civil law and
says:
"The Romans were also wont to set
aside testaments as being inofflciosa,
deficient in natural duty, if they disin
herited or totally passed by (without
assigning a true, sufficient reason) any
of the f|ildren of the testator. But if
the child had any legacy, though ever
so small, it was proof that the testator
had not lost his memory or reason,
which otherwise the law presumed,
but was then presumed to have acted
thus from substantial cause. Uence
probably has arisen that groundless
vulgar error of the necessity of leav
ing an heir a shilling, or some other ex
press legacy, in order to disinherit him
effectually."
Another erroneous Idea, quite gener
ally entertained, is that a signature Is
not binding unless written in Ink.
Still another curious notion enter
tained In some localities Is that an eye
witness may not testify to any occur
rence seen by him "through glass."
This Is probably attributable to the
fact that the Imperfections of ancient
window glass might deceive the on
looker as to what actually took place.
The writer recalls an instance adduced
by his Instructor in physics while lec
turing on the refraction of light of
a windowpane In his house through
which passersby on the opposite side
of the square appeared, on coming op
posite to a church, to leap over the
steeple. A condition of this sort
brought out on cross examination
might affect the weight, though not the
^admissibility, of the evidence.
