The sky, on that troubled ni^ht in 1921, was .starless and un^ry, us angry us tiie heart ui' Ireland itself. Dublin was under martial law. Beneath the dim glare of street lamps tin* Blaek and I'ans. bayonets slung aero s their shoulders, patrolled the narrow pavements, peering into the shadowy lin es of the infrequent pedestrians. In n shabby section of Dublin the bbiuls Were drawn across tin window ot a tobacconist's. Above the sln>p, in a room nieagcrly lit bv two <aii dies ami bare of all save the crud's furnishings, a meeting was in progtvssf. Here in the headquarters of tin* Irish rebels. Domnmmhin O'Brien, with his colleagues. .Murphy and Donegal, worked feverishly, g.\iug concise instructions to dispatch carriers bound for Cork and Liinei m-U, Glengarrif and Kdhirnc.i. Two thouuuiid rounds of ammunition to Clarcmoorex, another two hundred and lifty to Cahir. Quickly the room was emptied of all save the three men. Tonight, as soon as Dennis Jiiordan arrived, tin* attack on Templerouge Barracks would he organized. Suddenly tin* rumble of a lorry’s In nvy wheels on cobblestones froze the men to attention. A raid! With desperate haste they gathered up papers, snatched maps from the walls and put a lighted match to u pil<* of record*. .Murphy opened the door leading to the roof. The distant sounds of axes far above told them with sickening finality that their avenue of escape was cut off. O'Brien shrugged. “Well, boys, it was hound to happen some day. . . ." Grasping their hand gnnnd«s. they raised their right arms in a linal salute.

not a handful of bloody conspirators in a dark room, but the government of a free people. IteineiiilKT that! Lord Athl‘*igh comes with clean hands and we will receive him with clean hands.” But on the same transport, with Lord Athleigh a shipment of British munitions was also arriving, and that was another matter entirely. With I'atriek Callahan, the military leader, Dennis discussed plans for the disposition of the munitions. On the deck of tlo transport Lord Athleigh, a dignified, kindly man in his sixties, stood al the rail and looked out at. the dim and lovely Irish coastline. Beside him stood his daughter, Lady Helen Drummond. She was slight, pretty, and in her oval face two green eyes glowed with excited anticipation. A wireless was presented to Lord Athleigh by an attendant. Jl was from Sir .John Alroycl, the Viceroy, ini'urining him that they were to remain on hoard overnight, and the munitions were to he landed instead. But half an hour later, when they sat at tea in the lounge, Gerald Breston, Lord Athleigh's aide, brought a second wireless countermanding the first. There was a change of plans; they were to disembark tonight after nil. Colonel Lodcr greeted them on the pier and presented Sir John's compliments. Waving aside Loderks urgent advice to use the armored car he had prepared to convey them to the Lodge. Lord .Athleigh and J tly Helen • hose instead an open touring ear.

AN hat u-- ' these blind raids when our Intelligence Service can't even describe the fellow?" Behind them, unobserved in the ftntull crowd which hud gathered, a young man stood with his head how- ♦ •l reverently. On hr- face was n look of intense hut: controlled emotion. For a moment he watched the blazing holocaust; then, mounting his bicycle, be started off down the street. At the door of the modest O Brien house he alighted. Inside were C.Hhleen O’Brien, Sean's young wife, and their eight-year-old son, Jerry. Half an hour later, having imparted his tragic news, his heart wrung by compassion and grief, 1m* emerged. Later that night in a room at Honan's Hotel six men sat. about a table. Dennis Kiordan presiding. The men were Burke, Kooney, Casey and Callahan, the more fanatical of the group, and Ryan and Connor, tlieeonnervntivo members who sided with Dennis. Dennis was reading aloud an item in the evening paper. It was headed: “Lord Athleigh and his (laughter, the Lady Helen Drummond, who arrive from London tomorrow’. Lord Athleigh's mission.” Burke hurst out angrily. ‘T vote we make u demonstration tomorrow* that will blow his Lordship from the fare of the earth and i <»ck l* 10 very foundations of Ireland!” Dennis frowmed. “It would that.’ he said quietly. “That’f why we ll not do it.” , „ A chorus of protest and affirmation broke out among the men. Dennis raised his ham! in authority, aileneing them. As Chief of Staff, all decisions rested with him, and his decision had been made.
military chauffeur jammed on the brakes and the car came to a shuddering standstill. Suddenly a man on a bicycle rode into the scene, the same one who had watched the burning building earlier that evening, lie assured them excitedly that, it was just: an accident and that they need not be concerned. From the shuttered window of Michael Dolan's greengroeerx shop Callahan and his men waited beside theh machine guns with baited breath. Callahan sputtered: “Ten thousand pounds on his head and he rides into the middle of that! The nerve of him!” Lord Athleigh and his entourage proceeded to the Lodge, with tile young man in tow*. After Sir John had welcomed his guests warmly, tile prisoner was brought in under guard. “Your name?" Colonel Lodcr inquired. “Dennis Tlionhm,” he replied brazenly, and smiled. “Vou're taking a dangerous name, young man!” Lodcr inspected tin* papers that had been found on the nian. A few letters, nil addressed to Thomas Casey, medical student. Still swaggering. lie explained his pr< once at the scene of tile accident: “I was riding my pusher, peaceful ns you please, when all of a sudden 1 heard a crash, brakes <«< reaming mid ears stopping, so l stopped. And then, would you belietu it, I was whisked into a lorry, pusher and all, and brought up here and asked what l was doing back there!" With a shrug towards Sir John. Lodcr turned to the guards and gave aii order of dismissal. Tin* heavy iron gates of the Lodge opened for the young man and he waved a cheery goodnight to the sentries on guard. He pedalled steadily until he reached the ambush street, where Callahan still waited. Without looking up at the windows of the shop he alighted and stooped as if to inspect his front tire. In n low voice he said: 'I’atriek.” “Yes, Dennis.” “The munitions come through at dawn. Get them.” (TO BE CONTINUED)
