Jimmy, ye know, is the laziest mail this side of the wather. if I do say it. And for why? Aftber his father died he did nothin’ but lay around in the shade and shmoke his pipe and move when the sun caught up with him. And for why. I ask ye again? Just this—the heart of him was set on catchin' a red leprechaun 'Tisn't for the likes of ignorant men like ye to know what that is. so I'll just tell ye. A red leprechaun is a fairy, and just the meanest, crossest. stingiest fairy ye ever seen—like your self. Condy McMouegal.” Condy took a big pipeful of his friend's tobacco and threw it in the mnd. "There." said he: “’tis easier than answerin' of ye. Barney McHale.” Barney sputtered, but swallowed his words and puffed himself back into an even mind. “Well." said lie. “a red leprechaun is , so mean that they set ’em to guard all the fairy gold, knowin' they'd never give It away unless they was forced to. and Jimmy he knew Just how to force them, and what did he do but spend all Ids time lookin’ for one. so j that by the turn of his finger he could | be a rich man.” “Whew!” said Cond.v. “And by and by what did Jimmy do j but catch one.

Just passln' along the hedge by the Widow McShane’s gar den. what does he see but a bit of fiery red in a bush. In he springs, and. mnkin’ a quick grasp, what has he in his fingers but a red leprechaun. “ *Ah. ha.’ says he. ‘and I’ve got ye at last!' “‘Well, I know It. Jimmy O'Dea.' said the leprechaun, squirmin' and kickin' and bitin' and scratchin’. “ •No. ye don't 'Tis I know how to hold ye.' says Jimmy, and he takes him he the middle between his thumb and forefinger. - 1 ain't studied about fairies for nothin’.' says he. “•‘Tis a’wise man ye are.’ says the leprechaun, ‘and a handsome man. with a boußl figure.’ says he. “‘Yes. and a strong man.' says Jim my. givin* him a squeeze to let him know he wasn't to be won by any blarney. “‘And what are ye goin' to do with me now ye've got ine?’ says the lep rechaun. says he. “ 'That.' says Jimmy, cool as ve like, ‘is for ye to say. What'll ye give me to let ye go?' says he. “‘ls it a wish ye want?' asks the leprechaun. “ ‘That's providin'.' says Jimmy. “ •Well." soys the leprechaun, ‘catch me brother, then. He’s there in the hush.' and he points with his finger. “ ‘No. .ve don't.' says Jimmy, for well he knee (hat If ye take ver eyes off a leprechaun for even tl** tiniest bit of a second “Poof!” says the leprechaun, and he's no longer where ye are hold in' him. •‘‘No. ye don't.' says Jimmy; *'tis n trick ! know mesel'.' says he. Pis fine eyes ye have. Jimmy O'Deo.' says the leprechaun; * 'tis trou ble they make among the gir-rls.' says he. “ ‘That's neither here nor there,' says Jimmy. " ’Where?* asks the leprechaun, look in' around, innocent-like. “ ‘Ye old fox.' says .Timmy. ‘l’ll squeeze the life out of ye.' says he. “ 'Do.' says the leprechaun; • "twould just be like tbe big lump o' nothin' ye are and lose yer wish.' says he. " ‘Oh. It's a wish then yer after givtn me,’ savs Jimmy. " -Bein' as I can't help it-yes.’ says the leprechaun. •• - What is it ye wish?' says be. •• That’s for me to decide, says Jimmy. •• -Ye've only a minute.' says the lep rechaun. - Tve as long as I bold ye. ye weasel.' says Jimmy, not to he fooled. "At that the leprechaun, seein' that Jimmy was a smart man and he couldn't get the best of him. thought and thought and thought. - • 'Tis plannin' ye are to get away, says Jimmy, makln' up his mind to get the most he could before lettin' him go. •• • 'Tis not. my wise mum’ says the leprechaun, ‘but 'twas tlilnkln of ye I was. Yer a fine man. Jimmy O'Dea. and I wish ye well. And it was think in' 1 was that if ve took me home to yer sister Mag she'd be after helpin ye make the wish, bein' the wise girl that she is.’ - -Thank ye kindly.' says Jimmy, off his guard, 'and she is that. 'Tis a good idea.’ •• -pick up the bag of goold 1 left in the bush and come on. then.' says the leprechaun. “Jimmy he looked down, and whisk. Mr. Leprechaun was nearly away, but Jimmy, who had only got one eye and a half on the bush, held him with the half of his eye and he the foot. - -Ah. hn. ye rascal.' he cried, ’ye nearly fooled me that time, didn't ye?’ says Jimmy. - • ’Tis no use. I see.' says the lep rechaun: yer a smarter man than 1 took ye for.' says he. “ ‘And Mag's smarter than me.' says Jimmy, ‘so come along home with me and we'll see what she says.' says lie. “So they went home, and when Mag sees what Jimmy has she just goes wild. for. like all women, she had a thousand wishes on the end of her tongue. But she had a wise head back of It. " 'Let's sit down and talk this over, Jimmy.' says she. ‘and I'll hold the coattails of the little man.’ "So down they sat. and'they talked and talked and talked, and at the eud WHEN MAO SAW WHAT JIMMY HAD SHE JUST WENT WITH*. of au hour they hadn't decided. The nearest they could come to It was Mag's suggestion: “ Twr's make it a mountain of goold.' says she. “Jimmy, bein' a careful man. thought three thoughts. “ ‘No,' says he. ‘ 'twould be too hard work keepin' the thieves away, and we haven't room for it in the cottage.’ says he. *• •Well.' says she. ‘a bushel of dia monds us big as yer head.’ “Jimmy thought again. 'No.' says he; 'they'd he so big nobody could wear ’em.’ "And so they talked and talked and talked for another hour and were no nearer the wish than when they start ed. Re this time the little divil of a leprechaun was gettin' unaisy. for he had to he home soon or else his wife Would find he had been passin' the time o' day with a beautiful fairy in the gooseberry hush, and if she found that out he knew what would happen, it not bein' the first time, d'ye mind. "So he ups and says, says he. •Jimmy O'Dea. ye are a powerful fine man. and tis the likes of ye as should be get tin' somethin' big. so—provided ye let me go at once—l'll not only give ye one wish, hut three—one for Mag and two for yeself.’ “'Done.' cries Jimmy, who was as quick to see a bargain as the next one. “ 'Done.' cries the red leprechaun, and off he goes "So there was Jimmy with his two wishes and Mag with her one. "Now. ye'd think it was easy for them to decide, wouldn't ye? Well, it wasn't, for he this and be that they wanted so much they didn't think they could put it all in askin'. And so they sat and pondhered and p*>udhercd And they sat all Friday and Friday night and Saturday and Saturday night, growin' pale wi' the thiukin' and paler and paler. But they was stubborn, so they sat on and on. They forgot to feed the chickens and milk the cows, aud by and by they forgot to go to early mass. For 'twas Sunday mornln'. And at that they comes to themselves. “Says Jimmy. 'Let's sthart for the church and make our wishes before we cot there." says he. “ ‘Let's.’ says Mag. knowin’ a wise plan when she saw oue. " -And iet'B go be different ways,' says Jimmy, ‘so we'll no be botherin' the other with questions.’ says he. ’• To be sure.' says Mag. and off they went. - 'Twas a fiDe mornin'. the same, but Jimmy took no heed of that. No; he was thinkin' of what he'd do with all his wealth, for havin' the wish he was sure of the money. He'd court the prettiest lass in the parish. He'd have the finest clothes and new brogaus and a hat for winter and summer and a new pipe and a cigar now and then, on Sundays, perhaps. And so he went on. funilshin' himself and the cottage till it was like a palace and never big enough to hold the things he put in it". And so he went on uphill and down, past this house and that house, till he came to the lane which led to the church, and bedad he hadn't made his wishes then. "All tills time Mag was walkin' with her back to Jimmy, who was goin' to church tiie other way. and she was buyin' new hats and shoes and ribbons for herself and never thinkin' to wish the wish. And so she went uphill and downhill and past this house and that house till she came to the lane which led to the church, and she hud not made her wish then. "At the entrance to the lane there is the cottage of the widd.v Rougher, ye mind, nnd the widd.v was at the door. Mag. bein' a polite girl, passed the time of mornin'. ‘‘•'Tis fine.' says the widdy. ‘l'm after walkin' about a hit with my new muff. Did ye ever see anything like it. Mag?" *• -No.' says Mag. admirin' it with her woman’s eyes. 'lt's fine. I wish I had one like it.’ "Phist. No sooner had tbe words left her lips than in her hands was a fine muff, like the widdy’s. “Then Mag. seein' that by a slip of the tongue she had lost her wi- b for no more than a two dollar muff, set up such a cryin' and bawlin’ as ye never heard, and all the neighborhood was alarmed. She kept on moanin' and sobbin'. and I wouldn't tell why. being ashamed. “And in the midst of all this noise up comes Jimmy, runnin' to see the sight. And there he saw his sister Mag with a two dollar muff in her hand, er.vin' and bawlin' as yet never heard. “ ‘What's happened, me darlint?’ ask ed Jimmy in great worrument. for he loved his sisther dearly. “ *Oebone.‘ she cried. * ’tis all your fault. Jimmy O'Dea. Many’s the time I wanted ye to buy tne a muff and ye wouldn't.’ " ‘Well.’ says lie. not knowin’ where the wind was a-blowin'. *• T forget tiie wisli I had and wish ed tin* wish on this.’ says she. moanin' and sobbin’. " 'Ye loose tongued gal.' lie cried, ‘bad luck to yer wishes. I wish the ould muff was down yer throat.' “I’hist. No sooner had the words left his 1 ips than the muff was in her throat and she was chokin' to death. "Then Jimmy was for killin' every body and cursin' liis luck for havin’ wasted one of his wishes so foolishly, and lie made up his mind he’d make the most of the other. “All tliis time Mag was gaspin' and splutterin' and chokin'. “And the neighbors, seein' she was dyin'. called out. 'Save yer sisther, Jimmy O'Dea.' •'•How?' says tie. “‘Wish tiie muff out of her throat.’ says they. “ ‘Divil a hit.' he cried, mad enough at losing one wish. “All this time Mag was gaspin’ and splutterin' and chokin'. “ 'Save yer sisther,’ cried the neigh bors again. •“Divil a bit.' says Jimmy again. " 'Then we’ll hang ye for a murder er.' says they, and they laid hands on him. “'Stop.' says Jimmy. ‘l’ll save her then.' for he loved his sister very dear ly. So. black and red in the face and nearly chokin' himself with the words stick in' in his throat, he wished tiie muff was in tiie bottom of the river. "I’hist! No sooner had the words left his lips than tiie muff was out of Mag's throat and in tiie bottom of tlie river." Cond.v Mc.Monegal shook the ashes (Hit of his pipe and slowly refilled it. "Did lie ever catch another lepre chaun?" he asked. "Ye poor ignorant man," said Barney Mcllaie contemptuously, “tiie chance comes lmt once in a man’s lifetime, d'ye mind." “Aro." said Cond.v.

While the battle was in progress tile sound of the guns was heard at Cleveland, about sixty miles away In a direct line over tlie water The few settlers there were expecting the battle and listened with intense interest. Finally the sounds ceased. They waited for a re newal. None came; the lull was pain ful. Then they knew the battle was over; but the result—ah. that was the point. One old fellow, who had been lying Hat with his ear to the ground, soon settled that point. Springing up. he clapped his hands and shouted: "Thank God! They are whipped!
