The Mayor, not lacking in courage, buttoned up his coat , and prepared to meet the strange pursuer, but could see no one but a stranger inquiring of the channel to Philadelphia. He gave the stranger the information whereupon he pulled the 'dirk' from out of his sleeve. It was a flute and he invited the Mayor to sit down, cross his legs, whereupon he played "The Rocky Road to Dublin". ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DE-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
