, It had hardly been a revolution, ttat 67, though men had been hanged for it and

burie~ in quic~lime, and men had been ;eported and died in exile. It was just the magnificent and futile protest of a peasantry goaJed to hysteria through misgovernment, led by romantic love1~s of the country, who toox to the hills with blunderbusses and pikes and a flag that had seen '98. One of the revolutionists, a strong farmer's son, brought with hlm Finn l'iacCool, the great dog.

"Sure, he loves Ireland too," was the · only explanation. And in a land of romance it was accepted without protest or wonder.

"Arrah, and why shou1dn 1 t you, hound of my heart? 11

Against the meager rebel corn.rnandos was thrown the majesty of the ~nglish army, hors~

and foot and guns, and generals cock-a-hoop. There were even the Colds tr-earn Guards. And. half the starved commandos were killed or captured, and another great victory won. In Shawn Mahoney•s district the rising amounted onl~ to a rapid skirmish behind the walls of a ruined church. Shawn had accounted for two of the opposing battalion, when he was plucked by the sleeve. f'inn~s owner was trying to cough up a bullet., :tGlory be to . God!" he choked. "I'm a dead :nan, that's what I am. Don't let them get the dog, Shawn. Don't let them have the dogl 11

"They'll never have the dog," Shawn swore •••

When, a week later, after traversing the country by dead of night, he escaped from Waterford in a lugger to ?ranee, the dog went with him. In France they both found succor as Irish rebels will anywhere on the Contin~nt where O'Neill is Duke of Tetuan in Spain,'and O'Donn~ll great in Portug~l; where Byrne is a Freiherr of Saxony! ana . Taaffe, lord of Galway, is an Austrian prince.

/j. France, with the memory of the Irish

Brigade at Fontenoy, and the crash of Clare's Dragoons on Rarnillies field, is ever kind. They protected the fleeing rebel and his great hound, that had also been under fire for Ireland, and sent them aboard a vessel for America. They bade them both Godspeed, and when Shawn said that he would never return to Ireland until Ireland was free, they assured him he would return in a few years to "l'Irlande libre 11 , though they shook their heads in private. Had not Lazare Hoche, the French general who conquered La Vendee, failed to free Ireland? And if a French glmeral ... C'est dommage, mais ••• Ah, la pauvre Irlande!

He was not an orator. He was not a business man. He was not an organizer. He was only a lover of Ireland, who would lay down his life, if that were of any use, for his country's cause. But he was no particular asset in the fight t~e Irish Americans were waging, which was a war of money, of

diplomacy, of politics. Little by little he came to take a back place in the councils of Clan-na-Gael. A thin, burning-eyed man, with a tremendous shyness, he was passed over when it came to easy jobs and political appointments. He wanted nothing, ~ut if ever again they went out, as goes the Irish euphemism for revolution, he would be there @un in hand, and his dog would be with him •••

He left New York after a few months and located in New Rochelle, a town founded by rebels, and opened a small store where papers of interest to the Irish were sold, weekly editions of Dublin papers, New York papers edited by Irish exiles, and his shop became the center of Irish activities in Westchester County.

There were always Irish dropping in for a chat, old Irish who came to ask how Ireland was, and newer Irish immigrants who told him how it was since he left. And all their eyes would turn on Finn MacCool, gray, quiet, and dignified at the rear.

"Yerra, but that's the gran' dog entir~ly. One of the ould breed. And they do be saying that they're all dead!"

"Begor, he's the last of his tribe, sir!" Shawn would shake his head.

"All old things die, and the new ones are never as good. Once these dogs were as common as terriers and now you could travel the thirtYr-two counties and you'd

find ne'er a one.' "A king's dog, himf 11

19.

Winter and summer New Rochelle saw both of them at dawn, Shawn and his dog, going for exercise, and all the dogs knew him and rendered him fealty. Even the little sporting terriers were silent and the bulls cowered in their kenne l s when he went by. Once a borzoi, meeting him, dropped dead of fear.

But what was most remarkable was how he knew when Ireland was spoKen about. He would prick up his ears and an intent l ook would come into his brown eyes.

At Irish gatherings, concerts, cei1 i dhs , ae used to accompany Shawn and ac c ept the welcome offered him with great dignity. He would only move when some reci t er int oned the dirge for the true Earl of Luc an:

Patrick Sarsfield, Erin's wonder, Fought in the field with bolts of thunder, One of Ireland's best commanders Now lies food for the crows of Flanders!

Oehl Ochonet lift his head and bay belling that filled

Then he would sorrowfully with a the street.

Or it might be the terrible lament for the victor of Benburb, done to death by the English:

Did they dare, did they dare, t o slay Owen Roe O'Neill?

Yea, they slew with poison him they f eared to mitt with steel!

May God wither up their hearts t b a.y their

blood cease to flowl May they walk in living death who murdered

Owen Roel

Every hair on Finn's body would rise, and his white teeth strip and his great bulk balance itself on his haunches as though ready to spring •••

The years passed and patriots died. First Isaac Butt went, and then the great Parnell, and then came Dillon and Redmond and. O'Brien. But Finn was growing old, and it seemed to Shawn Mahoney that with the ending of the great hound's race would end the hope of ever treading the hills of a free Ireland •••

It was by nothing short of a miracle that the dynasty was saved. Shawn was doing some business in Port Chester when he ran into a wizened man with a great gray dog.

"Glory be to God! and what kind of a dog would you be calling that?"

"That's a Scottish deerhound, mister." The weazened man had a broad Scots accent.

"I've seen many a deerhound, but never a deerhound like that deerhound. Where in Scotland does she come from?"

"From Islay Island, mister." "From Islay Island. That's no more

tivr twenty miles from Ireland." - "That's so, mister. And, what's more,

that breed o' dog has been on Islay for nigh on two hundred years, and there's not a half dozen in the world left, beyond Giorsal here, and what Campbell o'Kilchoman, the poet, has on his place in Canada. They're of Alan Dhu the piper's strain, him that's but a byword in the mouth of the people, he's dead that long."

"And he learned his piping in Ireland, I'll be bound," said Shawn. "Now, my friend, I've got a dog, and

11 if you're for mating her ladyship here-- ,

"She would no' mate wi' your ordinar

deerhound, and, as for a. Russian wolfhoundu __ he laughed--"she'd tear him to piecesT-n

"Wait until you see my dog--" So Finn MacCool was mated with Giorsal

of Islay, and Giorsal threw two whelps. And Giorsal and one of them belonged

to the Islay man, and the other to Shawn Mahoney--Oisin he called the pup. And F'inn died a year later, and was buried with honors in a little copse near the golf course of Wykagyl. The Islay fisherman was not lucky. Distemper took Giorsal and .HacCrimmen, her pup, but Oisin thrived and grew to powerful doghood, and with him revived Shawn's belief th.st: Ir•eland wou1d

one day be free, and he would tread the hills of Munster, and the dark Hoaaleen would be queen again, not a fettered slev6 girl in the house of the slavering Saxons •••

Though he hated to think of it, Shawn always believed that Oisin was a better dog than Finn. There was not much to choose between them as far as physical power and appearance went. Oisin was e trifle cleaner in the legs, a trifle heavier in the chest, a trifle better about the collar than his sire. But he was a more dignified, a more princely, dog. iie was the hound of romance. In his brown eyes one could see Ireland of' the elder days: the Red Branch knights carousing at Emain Macha, the Children of Lear on the shadowy waters, Maeve the magnificent, the glory of the Fenians, the crash of the Danish battles. Gentle and strong, he might have been a companion of Patrick the saint as he stood against the magic of the Druids on Tara Hill.

And New York grew and with it. New Rochelle. And into the old huguenot township there came . a bevy of people of the theatre, who trod the sturdy Huguenot stones with mincing gait and affected gesture, very theatrical, eye-compelling. B~t perhaps in all America there was nothing more dramatic than the gray-haired rebel in his

dingy little tobacconist's shop, with the great dog an emperor would have envied.

Came a change over Ireland, too. There was the victory of the Land League; there was the new beneficent legislation; there vere the old-age pensions, the -laborers' cottages, the this-and-that material things, but freedom there was none.

"Look at what we have given them," England clamored to the world.

"A blind man wants more than a loaf of bread," the Irish replied. "He wants the sight of his eyes."

"What is wrong? 11

"Our sons, Celts, are born serfs to an alien king. That is wrong."

11You Irishl" There seemed no prospect of freedom,

and Oisin, the great dog, would soon be old, and with him his race would end. This time there would be no miracle, such as the meeting with the Islay man in Port Chester. There was just one chance in a hundred, and that was to find Campbell, the poet, in Canada, on the off chance that he might have a slut to breed. It took half a year before he located the man, and even t hen he wasn't sure it was he, at Port Caledon in Nova Scotia. He took part of his savings and traveled thither the summer the German war broke out. And his heart fell when Campbell was pointed out to him, a lean high-bred country gentleman, wi t h a golfer's shoulders and a horseman's knees.

"Are you Mr. Campbell, the poet?" "Campbell, the poet, by the grace

of God, I am. 11

"Then you have man of Port Chester

d II one of your ogs.

20 .

"Nan alive"--Campbell 1 s eyes were hard- ­"you•re from the wrong part of Ireland . Why for should I do you a favor? '1

Old Shawn's heart sank, He groped for the Gaelic of his youth: "Clann nan Ga edhel guala re cheile," he pleaded. "children of the Gael shoulder to shoulder. Will you hear mr, story?"

'A poem lasts longer that a gr eat tree." The Gaelic had softened Campbell. "And a good story is a meal for a king. Come into the house, good man, and let's have your tale."

"I've just one left," he said when he heard Mahoney's history, 11 a two-year-old that's never been mated. l'm off to the war next week, so I'll give her to you . For the sake of an Irishwoman I once knew when I was a young fellow, I'm giving you the dog. Paraig," he called, "put the couples on Mairi Lea. I'm letting her go with this man from Ireland.~."
