erying “lynch him.” ~

It was with difficulty that Normansell
and Carrington. protected Devlin from the
infuriated mob and got him behind lock
and key in the makeshift gaol.

It was eight days later—another his

- torically notable day, but one that the Irish

element did not like, the ‘Glorious
Twelfth.” This anniversary of the Battle
of the Boyne aroused the animosity of the
Irish. Anything that could be done to
thwart British law, order or institutions
commended itself.

There was one thing that could be ‘done;
an Irishman was in custody of a British gaol,
he must be freed. It mattered not that they
wanted to lynch him only a week before,
freeing him on “the Twelfth” would be an
act of contempt of hated British rule and an
act of justice for “Ould Ireland.”

Const. Carrington gave Devlin his break-
fast. He locked him in his cell and then
went off to break his own fast. While he
was eating a man ran to tell him that the
prisoner had escaped.

Chief Normansell and Carrington made a
hasty search of the vicinity before they dis-
covered the tracks that indicated that he
had escaped on a horse.

They tried to organize a posse to go after
him, but only one man would volunteer—it
was the Twelfth of July.

So Devlin, the killer of a fellow Irishman,
made good his flight to the safety of United
States.

A LAWYER was cross-questioning an
Irishwoman in court with regard to the
stairs in her house.

“Now, my good woman, please tell the
court how the stairs run in your house.”

“How do the stairs run?” repeated the
“Shure when I’m upstairs they
run down, and when I’m downstairs they
run up.”
