With fair prices for the work they do,

Poor railroad service Is dear at any

Looking Toward Coppal Lake.
ONK would not, of course, de
scribe the Kerry roads as
"good." There still exist mo
torists who visit a district not
for the sake of rushing through it as
fast as posslble-T-they do not welcome
postlvely bad roads, but, given roads
which can be driven over, they are less
keen on the goodness of the roads than
the goodness of the views seen there
from. Such, at all events, was the
temperament of our party, says a
writer In Country Llf& Some one had
said: "If you don't 'do* the coast
route from KUIorglln through Cahlrci
veen and Watervllle to Pgrknasllla
you will miss the finest thing In Ire
land?perhaps In the British Islesso
we turned aside at^ls tempting pros
ptfSfT And we did not regret our de
tour.
Soon after leaving KUIorglln, where
the Caragh lake lies, still and black
In Its opening In the hills, we began to
Jhave some foretaste of the glories be
fore us. The rond*moUtoted into barren
wildernesses, and on our right sud
denly the vast blue expanse of Dingle
bay was outspread, a dream In the sun
shine. Grander and grander grew, the
vistas across that splendid Inlet of the
Atlantic, wilder and wilder the ranges
on our left. At Mountain Stage, where
there Is a little railway station (though
heaven alone knows what the traffic
can be), the scenery was as noble as
anything 2 have witnessed in Great
Britain.
A railway accompanies the road at
intervals during this part of the Jour
ney; but It is a very unobtrusive rail
way, and appears to boast about a
couple of trains per diem in each
direction. Its final objective, of course,
f4s the ferry for Valencia island. Ami
It Is for Valencia that another of our
companions was bound-^-the te'egraph
line. For Valencia Is one of the cable
stations; and those ordinary looking
wires, nine of them only, which pass
'from pole to pole along the hedge side,
are throbbing, maybe, with ihessages
for New York. A curious thought, in
this solitude 1 But Kerry Is sophlsti*
cated, in spots aft iLwere. It contains j
three cable stations?the Valencia Is
land one; the one at Balllnskelllgs, and
the one at Watervllle. The result is
that you' suddenly come loa queer
cases of civilization: neat rows of vil
las, spick and span gardens, and j
evidences?I will not say of wealth, but
at any rate of more comfort than is
discernible In the thatch-roofed and
generally poverty-stricken farms. A
cable terminal, you learn with sur
prise, employs a hlindred or more per
sons?skilled persons, too; the kind
of persons who have to be paid a sal
ary which sounds like untold wealth
In this neighborhood.
Happy Valencia Island.
It was interesting to come to the
Valencia Island ferry and look across
at a little town as neat as some nice
French coast resort. But Valencia Is
land. as we found, Is by way of being
both rich and happy; arid even if Its
cable station <lld not bring unusual
comforts, the Knight of Kerry is one
of those landlords who see to it that
their property, and the tenants there
on, are seemly to behold. Valencia
we all liked; it was, to be candid,
rather a contrast to the nearby Cahir
civeen?of Wnich a small pupil had
written (In one of the schoolU which )
we visited) in her essay: "Cahlrciveen
Is a town with a great many houses,
and most of them are public houses."
For all that, Cahlrciveen is very
characteristic and picturesque. Be
yond it the road was, alas, pretty
rough; army lorries, we were told, had
ploughed if up, and there had been no
time, afc yet, to put It uuder proper
repair. An easy pace was not undesir
able, all the same, for there was plenty
to look at. On cither hand the hedges,
we saw with delight, were fuchsia?
i a testimony to the climate's softness.
J Everywhere we went in this part of
Kwry we were astonished at the vege
; tatlon. Fuchsias grew astonishingly.
On Vnlenoia Island there Is one colos
1 sal tree of fuchsia, and here also we
t saw ulor4ous pfttk gviaulums positively
smothering a cottage wall. Arum lilies
I flourished like weeds In the poorest
j cardan- Along the bog sides, and rlgh' !
t, tn the seashore, there were often'j
"v*. of vrtlow Irlso*.
But the bogs, to the eyes of a atrangsr,
looked bleak, one ipust confqpsr
Kvery mile of the way beyond Klllorg
Itp we had not been out of sight of*
those sombre brown scars whleh mark
where the apparently exhaustless pe^t
Is being cut; and now, between Cabin
clveen and Waterville these peat ex
cavations were almost continuous. Be
hind the bogs- rose long, empty hills,
grey with bowlders or tinted here and
there with the purple of bell heather.
For some miles now we had been out
of sight of the sea; but, descending
a slope we came In view of It again,
and of the jollir little town of Water
ville, situated so sweetly on Balllns
kelligs% bay, with the famous fresh
water Lough Currane lying a mere300
yards or 300 yards Inland. Waterville
has its terrace of pink villas, housing
the cable staff; but It also owns a few
hotels, and at one of theso we were
excellently housed. Irish hotels not be*
lng all they might be, one is glad to
find a really satisfactory one, and
moderate withal., Some of our party
who paused to patronize the salmon
and sea-trout fishing on Xough Cur
rano were enthusiastic in their unan
imous decision to return and make a
longer sojourn. The lough, certainly
Is one of the most beautiful I have
ever had the fortune to behold. Our car,
on the good advice of the hotel pro
prietor turned aside anctexplored the
valley .in which the lough lies, going
as far as that dreamy tarn known as
Coppal lake. Fishers who ply their
craft in such scenery are Indeed to
be envied.
8ome~ Glorious Scenery.
But the best was yet in store for
us. Returning to the main road and
leaving pleasant Waterville in our |
rear, we began the ascent of the'Coo
innkista pass. Now, the Ooomakista
pass, I hereby announce to those who |
have not heard of It before, Is one
of the most glorious, .patches of sea
and mountain scehery In Europe.. I
know the Cornlche on the Riviera, I
have motored the new Italian roads
above the Venetian plain, and also
between Valona and Santk ^uankfi.Ut
In Albania, and I can seriously assert
that the view which abruptly unfolded
before us at the summit of Cooma
klsta, though slightly smaller in else
than the celebrated ones I have men
tioned, beats them all for sheer love
liness and In the subtlety of what
artists would call Its composition.
Before us lay Darrynane bay, with
its complicated contours, Its endless
islands round which the Atlantic roll-j
ers were creaming, Its delicious coves
of yellow sands, Its huge woods. Its
grand encircling rocks and broken sky
line. The car drew up without any
order being given to our chauffeur. It
was as though he felt that this tribute j
must be made to the extraordinary
vision which had burst on us In this
dramatic fashion. We stayed silent, by
the stone dike which fenced us from
the deep declivity, and gazed and
gazed. It all seemed too exquisite to be
true. And Darrynane, when at last
we came to It?for we all. agreed, now,
that we must leave the" m*Mn hfeti
road and look more closely-at this
wonderful Darrynane?was like a place
In a fairy story. Just one small Inn?
embowered In flowers (for the slope
Is southerly, and we are on the Qulf
stream)?and no other houses except
one, that of the Liberator O'C^onnell's
family; and, spread out, as smooth as
velvet", sheltered sands for bathers (If
any should come); and focks with
pools of waving seaweed and anem
ones; and deep coves In which bass
and pollock could be caught in scores
by tho merest tyro; and, to crown all.
a magnificent lobster tea at the Inn
aforementioned. Well, well I To think
