DONAL THAT WAS RICH
AND JACK THAT WAS POOR.

other Stories.
Copyright. I*oo, by Seumas MacManus.
One* there were two brother# named
Dona! and Jack. Donat was hired by a
rich ran who had one daughter, and when
hla master died, he married the daugh
ter.
Jack, he lived cloae by with his wife
and a big family of children, and he wa*
very poor: but Dona!, he was no way
good to Jack, and would never reach hla
hand to him with a thing.
And when the hunger would cbm# Into
Jack's house, Jack, he used to think It
little harm to steal a bullock out of
Donal’a big flock, and kUI It tor hla
family.
At length Donal began to suspect that
Jack tv ns taking his bullocks, but he
didn’t know how he would And out for
sure.
Donal’s old mother-in-law proposed a
plan by which ah* could catch Jack. She
made Donal put her Into a big chest
that had little apy-holes In It. and pot
In with her beef and brandy enough to
last her nine daya. Then Donal wa# to
take the cheat to Jack’,, and have It
left there on some excuse
Donal went to Jack and aald he had a
big ibest of thing, that wa# In his way.
and asked Jack If he would be so good
as to allow him to leave It In his kitch
en for a week or so
Jack said he was very welcome to put
In ten chests If he liked. So Donal had
th* chest with the mother-in-law and
ll* Put the Body Sitting pn the Finest Big Hors# In Debar# Slab!*,
her provisions In It, carried to Jack's
and planted In a good place In the kitch
en.
On th* very first night the chtet and,
the mother-in-law were In Jack'*, he stole
and killed and brought In another bul
lock. and the old woman was watching
It al! through tha tpy-holea of the cheat.
And after Jack and hla wife and chil
dren had eaten a hsrty supper off the
bullo.'k, he and hla wife began talking
over on* thing and another, and say* he:
"I’d like to know what Donal has In that
chest.'*
So off he went to a locksmith and he
got the loan of a whole bundle of keys,
and he came and tried them all In the
chest till he got one that opened It.
When Donal found what was In the
chest, he lost little time taking away the
beef and the brandy, and he put In their
place empty bottles and clean-picked
hones, and locked the old woman up with
these again.
At the end of nine daya Donal came
for the chest. He thanked Jack for giv
ing him house room for It for so long, and
said he had now room for It himself, ano
o he hod come to take It home. •
And behold you. when Donal and hi*
wife opened the chest al home, there was

Jack, of course, he went to the wike
and to the funeral, amt sympathised sore
with I tons I and Donal's wife too. Hut
the very next night after the funeral.
Jack dug up the corpse to get the money,
as It was so useful to him Then he took
the old woman's body on his shoulder and
carried her off to Donal's and'went down
tmo Donal's wine cellar. He put her sit
ting In a chair by a puncheon there, and
put a class Into her hand, and turned on
the wine.
In the morning Donal's flrat race was

when he came down this morning he fell
over and fainted with the fright when he
saw his old mother-in-law sitting by the
puocheon drinking.
When he cntae lo himself he had her
taken up and laid out tn the wake-room
