Jerked suddenly from the world in a strange automobile wreck, he leaves behind him a name implanted in the mind with all the deadly iteration of periodical literature, and a mist of singular impenetrable ance. Every one knows the nan is difficult to discover any one, among his friends, who will admit that they knew Donn Byrne. He neve seems to have said much about hi background which is essential, as on cf his characters remarks, to the understanding of a man. What he said about himself trails behind it the tangible but unmistakable aura of his unquenchable imagination. Tall, cular, obstinate, fluent, and with elements of the child about hii may have been the type of the Irish adventurer. He was, unquestionably, the Irish romantic. It is useless to inquire too closely after facts. On the authority of "Who's Who" he was born in New York City on November 20, ! liarehiK At" tfie"ag« of two or three months. "Who's Who': educates him "privately," at University College, Dublin, and at Paris and Leipzig, but omits to mention any degree save an honorary B.A. in 1909. it was in 1911 that he returned to New York--the year of his marriage--and tried his luck upon the newspapers. The diplomatic service and the South American adventure should have come about that time, but on "The Brooklyn Eagle," where he worked for a year or so as a copyreader, no one seems to remember him saying anything about it. The legends, however, proliferated. There is a story that he hired a room opposite the office, installed a stenographer, and rushed there, sandwich in hand, to dictate romantic prose during his lunch hour. His connection with "The Eagle" is supposed to have been severed when he was one day carried away by the beauty of the prose and arrived back at the copy desk fifteen minutes late, dent appears to have been forgotten on "The Eagle"--but, then, on "The Sun" they remember that he was dropped not because he used "poor English," as he said, but because he used English rather too good, and much too extensive, for police reporting. After that there were the magazines; one finds a poem of his in "Harper's" in 1912 and a short story in the "Century" in 1914, and then a rising flood of sound "magazine fiction." In 1917 he was living in Clark Street, Brooklyn, and when the papers printed a paragraph about him they had to identify him as "a writer of short stories." And then one day Glenn Frank ( at the time editing the "Century") was discovered in a paroxysm of enthusiasm over a "great book and a great man." Donn Byrne had brought him the manuscript of "Messer Marco Polo" and told him j that he was tired of pot-boiling and wished to write now as he wanted to. The book succeeded and the legend grew. Donn Byrne, the Irish adventurer and sportsman; the student, the philosopher, difficult at moody, but a magnificent talker, with a glowing invention--"the last traditional Irish novelist." He said so himself. He dressed with the elaborate care of Mayor Walker and with thing of the effect. He bought him 1," but om- • it v * Lmerican hunts ft id whips whe it he must hi millionaire has imported h of Devonshire cows." "To make Devonshire « for himself" "No," said Brian Oswald Donn-Byrne steadily, "for this luncheon!" It was the, romance that had illuminated the copy desk on "The Brooklyn Eagle," the hack work and the struggle. And perhaps in the end he realized .it "My people," he warns his readers, "for all their romance are a practical nation." Donn Byrne went home successful, to be an Irish gentleman and poet; "Who's Who" describes him as "patron-of sport and former international athlete," and the people who once heard him describe how he witnessed Captain Webb's fatal attempt to swim Niagara (which happened, oddly enough, six years before Donn Byrne was born) or win hunt cups or range the pampas saw little more of him. From Ireland there is another story. One is allowed a glimpse of Brian Donn Byrne in his little place in Surrey, or in his great castle--with innumerable rooms heated solely by two fireplaces--looking out froim County Cork into the great Atlantic. A country gentleman--he was to have begun breeding horses shortly--a great rider, an unerring shot, a strong swimmer, a lover of romance, a hater of modernity. So he said; and perhaps it was true, because modernity went to the trouble of killing him in the end, in much the same strange way (one cannot help recalling it) as it killed Isodare Duncan. In his castle in Cork the romance had come true, and there seems small I--------------------1 Unusual Dishes for Warm Weather Summer is the time of high color, and for that reason summer menus should avail themselves of all the brigtt fruits and vegetables of the But fruits and vegetables alone do not, to my mind, constitute an entirely satisfactory list of necessary summer foods.

His great ability and gifts were now placed at the disposal of the Christians, and he did more than any other to carry the gospel into new regions. More liberal teachings on God, man and nature appear with him, and Christian theology and sociology assume new proportions.

There a:& slight differences in the three nam -fives as given in Acts 9:1-19; 22:6-16; 26:12-18, but these can be explained without much difficulty. Saul distinctly hears his name called in the Hebrew tongue, and the question th^t follows is a direct and searching one: "Why persecutest thou me?" His attack on these members of his church is an attack on Christ who is no-v |clothed in heavenly glory. In the othfr | narratives the words are added, "It ij ! hard for thee to kick against ths goad," as if Paul's mind was not rt |ease. He could not take real joy i-i inflicting such ruin, while the patier.t endurance of the converts must have appealed to him. He was going against his better nature. V. 8. Who art thou, Lord? The question has often been asked whether Paul had ever seen Jesus during the days of his flesh, and a verse in 2 Cor. 5:16, is quoted, "Though I have known Christ after the flesh"--but even if this were the case, the present vision was quite different, since Jesus risen from the dead and ascended heaven, so that this was the vi-of the glorified Christ.

This expresses both the surprise of one overwhelmed with the great change that has come to him, and also the great energy of this man who henceforth will throw himself with whole-heart-edness into the new duties which he face. There is much to be done, but first of all Saul must go into the . secutor, but as a follower of Christ. 12. One Anan'as. The character of this man is given in brief, but suggestive words. Evidently he was a leader among the Christians and was also held in high regard by all the Jews. From the other accounts we learn of the dread which Ananias j'elt in undertaking this commission, fcr the evil fame of Saul had preceded him. V. 14. Go& of our fathers. The God of the Christians is the same God who had guided and blessed Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and this^God will so bestow his grace upon Paul,Nthat great results will follow: 1.

Jesus will give him explicit directions for his work. 4. The great world beyond the Jews will also hear of the wonderful salvation of God. V. 10. Be baptized. This is the natural consequences of Saul's conversion, for it is the outward symbol of entrance into the church. He is now one of the discinles, .ready to undertake whatever task'his Master asisip-na to him.
