An incident, as patliotic as any logend of Killarney and the trish lake country, rccently occufred at Lough Erne. A ] member of the royal Irish constabulary, j nnmindful of the rigid regulations of the pólice service, look the colleen of his heart to the altar without receiving j the permission of his superiors. After his marriagc was reported at headquarters, attempts were made to secure a j relaxation of the rules in his case, f or he ; was a popular and efficiënt officer. Not even at the instance of Cupid could the rigid laws of the pólice bc waived. Poor Hoe - this wus the officer's name - must leave the force; such was the stern order. He prepared to start for Australia with his young wife, consoled by her love for any sacrifices he had made. Happy in their honeymoon, he and his bride sailed up Lough Erne for Enniskillen, to make final preparations for their departure from Ireland. At the landing-place his wife feil into the water while stépping from the steamer. With the quickness of thought he plunged in to save her. Losing all presence of mind, she, in her struggle for life, entwined her arms around him, and, before any assistauce could be rendered, both sank to rise no more.
