CHAPTER XL The singing of a cricket in the hedge cheered the heart of Nora's mother as Bhe heard it one night near her couch for had she not always been taught that the crickets bring good luck? Aad did not her grandmother dear old lady, a great beauty she had been in her day Bay that crickets lived to be hundreds of years old, and that if we could only understand their language they would tell us many strange and wonderful things? Surely, but if the crickets would bring1 luck to her and her little flock it did not matter whether they were old and wise, or not. She would not have killed a cricket if it had kept her awake all night with it3 grilling, but this one did not have any such unhappy effect.

And once he spoke of the pretty daughter of an Irish gentleman who had come a long way to attend the convention, and who, like himself, was a stranger alone in the big city. You think be did it to cheer his sweetheart and to let her know that he was in good company and therefore safe from temptations? Not a bit of it.

He did it becanse he was a man and could'nt help it.

Pat cared not a rush for the pretty Irish girl, and he knew that her beauty could not be compared with Nora's, it fell feo far short of the radient face he never forgot for an hour, that was lighted by those ever pleading eyes that held him like a spell, but he could not resist sending the little shaft though he knew it would pierce the heart. Long before the letter reached her he wished he were there to hold Nora close in his strong arms and tell her it r. as all a cruel joke, but that cauld not be, so he anticipated the next letter from her with a little guilty awe.

It opened with an account of a call from Bridget O'Keene and her cousia, who were accompanied by a "foine young over from Ireland. Pat's wit recognized the "foine young gintleman" as a foil for the pretty Irish girl in New York, and smiled to himself at his sweetheart's pique, as men are prone to do thinking an unmarried woman's temper, not too deeply indulged, the thing next prettiest to her tears and he wondered if this threatened personage looked at alias he looked the day he was landed in the great west. It was quite possible, very probable indeed, that he was just such another peniless boy come over to earn rent money for Irish farms by building American railroads; "And yet" Ah! it lodges in the manly bosom as well us in the tender breast of womankind: that little, green-eyed, chameleon-like monster that takes on the hue of every human heart "And yet," thought Pat, "the letter did not say he looked like woman! thy name is not wisdom. A great many homilies have been written concerning thy hardheartedness to thine own sx, but at least as good a one might be written on thy tenderheartedness to the erring lords of creation!

ter. Alone, out in the dark, cola nights she had felt the longing for the touch of a human hand, the sound of a human voice, and even the once dreaded workhouse seemed a haven now. To be again shut in safe from the night, where the wail and lamentation of fairy music could not reach her, was a boon to be prayed for now, and the woman gathered together her poor belongings with willing hands, and with her brood, thankfully followed Father Magee. Little, pinched and draggled bits of humanity, Nora would not have known them for her brothers and sisters had she met these children hurrying and scrambling along the road to the workhouse. They were eager to go any place, to a house, to food, to warmth and shelter.

The eldest held by the hand the baby that Nora had left in Gienbeight, and helped her over the rough places; she was a lank, starved, weather-browned child now, with the look of a famished and hunted creature in her face. It would have broken Nora's heart to see her so. And her brother, bent like a little old man, stiff limbed before he had known the suppleness of youth, dragging the little one's weak steps with all his boyish might that they could sooner reach the goal of bread. Ireland! where is thy nation's hope if such as these must maintain the blood Already are thy people starved to desperation, may not the next generation be starved to death? It was to Nora that Father Magee sent the first news of the shelter of the workhouBe, and sadly the child needed some cheering word the day the letter reached her, for Pat had gone with other representatives of the land league to New York to see and hear Mr. Par-nell and John Dillon.

Proud as she was to have Pat chosen as one to go upon this errand it broke her heart, she thought, to part with'him, and he was not more than out of sight until she feared the dangers and temptations of the trip as much as if be had been the child he was when he crossed the sea, and came to her a tousel headed boy just from his mother's arms. Indeed, much more she feared for him now. Then he knew nothing but to find her, now, though she knew he loved her more than all else on earth, he had learned the by-ways to an enemy. The letter from Father Magee was a comfort, and put Pat and his career out of her mind for a little time. Now they could live, her mother and the children, until the father was liberated, and then well, Pat would be back, and something should be done.

She took her rosary and" started to the church to tell Father Murphy her good news, and to thank the Virgin Mary that she was so blest. Should she take a candle this time to burn at the shrine, or should she save the penny it would cost for Ireland? Shame on the thought! Had not the poor Irish woman around the corner taken two candles last week when her boy was sick and she could not go out to wash as usual, and did not know where the next meal would come from? Yos, Nora would take her candle and pay her devotions as the good Catholic she was should. She bought her candle at the grocery store as she went along, and feasted her eyes on tho displayed goodies for her mother's and the children's sake. She had enough herself, but these things would be such a banquet to them if she could but send them. Always of them the child thought and planned.

When she came to a florist's window she stopped a moment to look in because she caught sight of a rose just the color of one Pat had brought her once when ho was feeliDg very rich. She chided him for it at the time, but she had the rose yet. And then she went into the quiet little chapeL so shaded from the searching sunlight that its tawdrinees looked chaste; where the candles glimmered before the Virgin and the incense rose in clouds that seemed to support angels; where the unquestioned faith of her fathers bore her up from earth and gave her audience with that sweet saint who was her mediator. No matter what the temple or the creed under which her prayer was breathed, if ever prayer reached the fountain of mercy Nora's did that day. Child as she was she held within her woman's heart all the world she knew, Ireland with its woes, America with its -jpes, and she prayed for both.

It would be but for a few months at most, they said; surely she could let him go from her a little while when Ireland called him! So, before the tinsel had tarnished on the pretty gew-gaws that were given Nora on her wedding day, she was called upon to part from her bridegroom and to' see him set out upon a journey that would carry him across the cruel sea. There were mothers with babes, to satisfy whose hunger every penny their fathers earned was needed, but it looked to us, Nora's friends, as if She left us and went to housekeeping A New and Pleating Venture in the Exhibition BaUdlnc line. The purpose of the Colorado Mineral palace, now being erected at the city of Pueblo, is to show the resources of the Rocky moan-tain mineral regions. It Is the first attempt of the kind yet made In the world with mineral. Credit for the conception of thti idea is due Gen.

R. A. Cameron. The people of Pueblo have raised a fund of 110,000 to insure the success of the project. The palace is 134 by 244 feet, and the auditorium will have a seating capacity of 4,000.

The architectural design may be termed modernized Egyptian. The architect, Mr. O. Bolow, is a native of Sweden. Tbe extreme height of tbe building is eighty feet, and one of its most attractive features is the open colonnade with which it is entirely surrounded.

The pillars, which stand twenty-two feet from the building proper, will each be furnished free by the stone quarries of the state. Each will be of a special design, and no two will be constructed from the tame stone. Surmounting the pillars will be a broad frelze of hammered brass representing mining, hunting and other scenes of mountain and western life. Entering the building you find yourself in the center of a grand auditorium, surmounted by a dome seventy feet in diameter and sixty-five feet high. On either side of this grand central dome is another in a stragnng suuurD wnere HUGOS NS' her countrymen had congregated in a little settlement, and there she a begging appeal to him to come home, to come to her arms and never, never leave her again his own loving Nora.

Pat went to St. Patrick's magnificent cathedral after he had read Nora's letter, and prayed for the forgiveness of his sins, and for Ireland, but he felt in his heart that the templed grandeur of the great city could not speed his prayer as could the presence of Nora by his side in the little church of St. Mary's at home, and a great longing tilled him to return to the sweetheart that awaited him. He had seen and heard the men who had come to America for Ireland's sake; be had spent all his money except enough to take him home; he had paraded up Broadway wearing the green, and pledged his allegiance anew to his country's cause; he had wilfully, and with secret satisfaction, caused Nora to uncover the love her heart held for him as she never had done he felt it to be his duty to go to her straight way and show himself worthy of it. His mind was full to overflowing, too, of the complications and immensities of the Irish question.

The great leader to whom he had listened was not an orator to move simple minded, untaught men like Pat to great enthusiasm. The expectations raised in the minds of his audience were always blighted when Mr. Parnell spoke, and those who, like Pat, were unable to follow his magnificent logic and unanswerable argument, took away with them the memory of his harsh, unsympathetic voice, and wondered what it was he had left unsaid. One of the statements he made did fix itself in Pat's inind, however, and had the effect of naturalizing him to America much more than his legal papers. It was this: "At the close of the revolutionary war the Irish numbered on9-third of the population of tho American colonies, and ever since that time the Irish have contributed to the population of the United States in greater proportion than any other people." This simple putting of a fact new to him, not only gave Pat an enhanced idea of the greatness of his native land, but it gave him also a sense of proprietorship in our country the land of his adoption and the hope of his people so that he went back to the great west more an American as well as a Letter Irishman.

Nora welcomed him with April showers of smiles and tears, and consented during the very first evening he spent with her to a speedy marriage. Just before he went away to New York she had said that in a year she would be his wife, not a day sooner, something must be done for the troubles at Glenbeigh first: but the awful danger and trials of these few weeks of separation proved too much for her, and she yielded to Pat's persuasions, though, truth to tell, there was nothing new in his arguments. Ah well the sweet old story is ever new pity the woman who has never heard it, pray for the man who has never told it. CHAPTER 13. The wedding morning dawned fair and bright, as all wedding mornings should, and Nora put on her pretty white dress with trust as deep and hope as high as ever inspired a true heart.

Lying lovingly upon her breast was a red rose, half blown, and tremblingly typical of the unfolding flower cf womanhood which it adorned. Pat brought it to her because she had kept th other rose so long, and its vivid color heightened the pink in her cheeke and con and Pat took tooa their places at the outset as aristocracy.

She felt guilty, too, to be living in such a luxurious home a great room 12 by 14 feet square, with a lean-to where she could cook and wash and Pat could smoke while her poor father and mother were homeless in Ireland. But Pat had paid a month's rent in advance, and she was as much a queen as the mistress of a palace. The prestsce Pat had gained by his trip to New York made him a leader in REMOVAL. it could not have been more cruel to call upon any one cf these men than it was to grieve Nora's tender heart by sending Pat on this mission.

Had she not already borne enough? But one cannot be a soldier and make no sacrifices. We tried to persuade Nora to come to us and stay till Pat came back again; but no, there was the home she said, she would keep it for Pat. Her deft lingers had learned to do many things for which people were willing to pay, and she could maintain herself and go to her own pillow at night; there she would feel nearer to Pat and there was no swerving her. Poor Pat, his kind heart bled for Ireland, but on the day he parted from Nora ours would have been but hard hearts had tears not dimmed our eyes. It was Nora who comforted him; who bade him be of good cheer and hope for thebest; who charged him to remember her who would always be praying to the holy saints to protect him, and who would keep the little home ever ready for his return.

The love and caresses that were sent to the dear ones in Glen-blign could not be measured or counted. Every time his sorrowful face waa turned from hers she would think of another cousin or another friend to whom mast be sent. affectionate greeting, until at last the moment came when there was time for no more embraces, and Pat left Nora at the railway depot, widowed among her friends, and went away to sail once more across the sea; this time an envoy from the Land League, going to his friends, they said.
