"Pope Leo, you know, was a great scholar and a poet." "He had a strong face," said Mr. Kernan. "Yes," said Mr. Cunningham. "He wrote Latin poetry." "Is that so?" said Mr. Fogarty. Mr.

Better turn down here. Make a detour. Mr Kernan turned and walked down the slope of Watling street by the corner of Guinness's visitors' waitingroom. Outside the Dublin Distillers Company's stores an outside car without fare or jarvey stood, the reins knotted to the wheel. Damn dangerous thing. Some Tipperary bosthoon endangering the lives of the citizens. Runaway horse.

Power, laughing. "Well, this great German cardinal, whatever his name was, was one; and the other was John MacHale." "What?" cried Mr. Kernan. "Is it John of Tuam?" "Are you sure of that now?" asked Mr. Fogarty dubiously. "I thought it was some Italian or American." "John of Tuam," repeated Mr. Cunningham, "was the man."

No one entertained a doubt of the result, but Governor Hendricks, Senator Bayard, General Hancock, Joel Parker, and Governor Allen, were formally named by their respective States.
