Curious Old Custom in the Bmish Isles Stopped by the War, Has Been Revived

Paris.—Richard Kelly of El Paso. Tex., one of I lie American doughboy? recently recalled from duly In the Baltic country, now is In a hospital in Paris nursing frost Jiites and restoring lost tissue as the result of a lone vigil with his ear In a Baltic snowdrift. I hiring his tour of duty in the Baltic. Kelly was assi'ued to drive for a British ofllcec „ne of the big yellow American curs, which. It Is supposed. can go anywhere. One of the last things his superiors told Kelly was “stick to your car whatever happens.’’ What happened, was that during the drive In the rural districts near Riga, Kelly’s machine, offleer and all, became stalled in a snowdrift. No horsepower or Ingenuity was able to budge it. The British officer with his adjutant fought their way to the nearest town for aid, leaving Kelly alone to buck the snowdrift. For some reason the offleer failed to return. Though Kelly might have surrendered and sought shelter, he remembered his Instructions and gamely stuck. Night fell; so did more snow. No one came along the road and no twinkling light fold of the nearness of human h<‘ings, Kelly, hungry and forlorn, curled himself tip in the car and slept. While awake he solaced himself with cigarettes. He spent a second day In the same drift, determined to stick. That day a peasant came along in a sledge and towed Kelly to a nearby village and there he left the ear, returning to his base by train, later passing through Berlin to Paris. Now he Is spending his off hours looking for that ’’hliiiued" British offleer.
When the war flung the world Info confusion it laid its staying hand on the oldest custom In the British isle', a most curious practice that has come from the far-otT time of the druids ami had nourished from then without a break until Ihe year PJl-a.

“VIRGIN” WAS ONLY SHADOW
Priest Solved a Mystery Which Caused Exc tement Among French Villagers.
Metz. Ixrliceient among rite people of Novennf, a small village near here, over the supposed appearance of the Virgin near a church yard, has been calmed by an Investigation conduct oil by religious authorities. It was said Hie apparition appeared at a certain time each day, seeming to stand on the steps of a little villa. Father Bcntz posted himself one evening at a point where other* said they bad seen th» Virgin, and at once solved Hie mystery. He found two trees some distance away w hich, just at sunset, east a shadow presenting a clear outline of a statue of the M.'doniitt. the resemblance being striking. Bishop Buell of Metz, eoliuneiititig on the case, said when It was explained to him: “We must not expect too many miracles. We have just witnessed one of the greatest miracles of all lime* —the return of Lorraine to France — and we can afford to wait a little while for another.”
