would go In and out under the table ho was wrltln on In the garden." His

eye kindled when he heard from mv lips the name beloved. And I observed the same when I mentioned Kickham's name to any other of the villagers. Howsoever Indifferent they might be In answering questions on other subjects. 1 had but to mention Kickham and they opened their hearts to me. AVhen 1 went to the chapel-yard to visit the grave of the poet and novelist I was followed by a few of his old Fenian comrades and disciples who had got wind that a stranger, much Interested In ' Charlie Kick," had arrived In the village. They shook me warmly by the hand, nnd one of them whose head was frosted by TO winters and more, but who was still of erect carriage and bright eye, showed plainly that his heart glowed, since a

strangerhad Journeyed fromafarto pay homnge to the memory of his hero and leader. These men took off their hats and knelt by the graveside with me and prayed still another prayer for him whom they hnd honored and loved him who. his hopes for Ireland unfulfilled, his yearnings unsatisfied, his long and trying struggle uncrowned with success, at length laid his bones to moulder under this green sod. These men, who now put up to God a prayer above his grave, had ttken from Charles Kickham the oath

now inhabited by a Mr. Norton, one of the evicted tenants referred to. and one who very kindly showed me about and told me of Kickham's haunts and habits. I sat by the freside where

the gentle poet and hot revolutionist had had his eyesight impaired, and far more seriously, his hearing, by a powder explosion; and 1 walked ln the garden where the novelist had walked as he thought out his plots: and I sat in the shady bower where he had sat while he penned them; and I journeyed to the three ash trees beyond the town to which Kickham Journeyed every evening; and I sat in the fork of the trees where he was wont to sit in meditation. The white-haired tailor, who lived opposite to Charles Kickham's house, hearing that an admirer of Charlie's had come to town, sent me pressing messages to come and see him, all impatient to talk of his old friend

wnom ne loved and admired. When I viBlted him he particularly pressed upon me in order that I might take a copy from It a faded portrait of the patriot which had been presented to him by the patriot's brother. On his hero's shining qualities the old tailor lovingly dwelt, while the moist gleam of sorrow shone In his eye. To the poor of Mulllnahone Charles Kickham and all the Kickham family
