Mrs. Mulcabey dressed her son Pat, eleven years old, in his best suit and put a bit of green ribbon la the buttonhole of bis jacket. After mass the O'Rourke children cnme over to the Mulcaheys to play with little Pat. There were Tommy O'Rourke, seven years old, and Norn, who was nine. They, too, had green ribbons on their breasts, and Mrs. Mulcahey, setting them all down in a row, told them sto ries of the pntron saint of Ireland how be did away With the slavery of I lower people ami how ho rescued ' couutry from a false religion and es tablished the true church. She also told tlit'in of the wonderful inirit - done by .St. Patrick and the many people- lie snveii from some impend! :. : duii'-ici Everybody knows that St. Patrick's day falls on the 17th of March and th.it the 17th of March is near, the bvgia ning of spring, lu the .southern states sometimes It is pretty warm at the' time, and the snow, melting farther mirth, swells the creeks, and the cree !'' swell the livers, and occasionally they have what is culled an inundation. . it happened that on this St. Patrick's day where these children lived they had an Inundation. The O'Rourke chil dren went home from the Mulcaheys ubout 3 o'clock In the afternoon and found the water, which had not been within half a mile of them in the morn ing, vvms uow a foot deep all around the house. They thought it lots of fun to hold up their clothes aud walk In the water to their front door. Their mother being out at work, Tommy made a raft of some old boards he found floating lu the cellar, and then they had a flue time pushing themselves around with a clothes pole. Bjit the water kept getting deeper and deeper, so that beforo dark the lower floor of the house was covered with water. The flood began to look serious to the children, and they wished their mother would come home. But she had been at work during the day at a house built on lower ground than her home, ! and when the waters came up she was obliged to stay and help the persons living there to move out their effects. So when night came on she had not come home, and by this time a bridge over which she must pass had been washed away, and she was prevented from going farther. So Nora lighted u lamp, aud she aud Tommy climbed the stairs to the sec ond story to get away from the water. Tommy began to be frightened, but Nora told him that there was no rea son to be scared. At any rate, If they were in danger the good saint that Mrs. Mulcabey had been telling them about In the morning would take care of them. But the water kept coming higher and higher, and after awhile they beard something crack below, and the house began to rock. Being of wood, It bad been lifted off its founda tion and was afloat "Mother," said little Pat Mulcahey that night, "we're lucky to be on this high ground." "Yes, we are. It's dreadful to think of people lu the valley." "1 wonder bow It Is at the O'Rourkes." "I don't know." I'm going out to have a look." "Don't you go far," said the mother anxiously. Pat went down toward the O'Rourkes, but when still some distance from there he was stopped by the flood. In the direction of their bouse be saw a light slightly rocking, as though It were in a boat AH sorts of articles boards, fur niture and other things that would float were slowly drifting about Pat was worried about his two little friends and wished for a bout in which to go and see how they were getting ou.

"I'm Pat." said the little rescuer, "but I'm not the saint." "Oh, Pat. is it you," cried Nora, re lieved, "and have you come In a boat?" "No, I've come on a board." "My gracious goodness! We can't Ho away on a board " "It's a big oue. Come. Tom. I'll take ou first; then I'll come back for Nora."
