WHOM they saw this, for they'd great hopes he was
goen' TO give in. But he'd no thought Of ssch q
IN ng and now, gett into the sperrt of the FAM an
enjoying the long faces of als enemes he laughed
and sprang louder and hgacr than ever. II wss i'm
vain the iairies tried 10 tbrp hn up, throw him

,hrylng TO catch houd Of his anc!e; but Jerry wss
Away - awere Of them, and wAisked away in mo-
ment of time; and so on they went for three or four
hours.
"The moon was besinnin' 10 set, an the fairies hsd
not half an hour 10 call their own. Jerry tosk
ansher dhrink from his bottle which the faInes
seem, got mad and ore of them, makn' flying
lape, lighted jist on Jery's arm, an snatchng the
DOttle Out OF MS nanO, was away into the middle ol
the fairy ring in no time. But they were too sharp
for emseves this time. The elf who had the bstto
was irwin 10 pull the cork cut an some Of the ohero
were crowdin round tryiH 10 get i from him, when,
among them they broke the bottle, and splash wint
tn. blessed whskey the whole Of them. Allilus
they all gone One CRATE cry Of anger an
pain they set up and then there wos nothin' 70 he
but the srttin' the misty fields the pale
light srakin the ais', an Jerry standn, the picture
OF disniay w.d the broken bottle OF his fset.
Moypa Donovan had c led herself 10 sleep thar
night after havin' heard that Walter Doyne's sncle
had sweIlea worse than ever. She dhramed q
pleasant dhrame, however. She thought she was
in the midst Of the fairy court an that the queen an
one Of her maids down their kness, un-
claim the big brogues Jist they were drawins
them oil, sweet strain Of music wat through the
apartment, and Moyna awoke. The light was SHIN
in full into the " w'nd5 and sse smgfd p e ns a.
,o sronu on there was her little feet siandin a
i.s.- -..Sp p.,,y ever on he hnre.
"Great was the Joy of all the parties consarned.
you may well suppose; an an the first use Moyna
made Of her feet afhter they az liberty was
to run off towards Walter Doyne's house. Bat she
had not gone far, when she himself csmin' fall
Of joy 10 tell her Of the miracle by which his ancle
was got well in one night.
I" 1t was not long before Father O. HalIoran had
jsS an indeed, two Of them. At the same time
and that he marficd Walter and Movna, he Joined
Jerry Mcguire and Nelly Malone. Plenty of fsA
there was at the wcddns; daBcln' and sngen', eat
in and drinkn', lashlns aud avins.
"The iairles were never seen again in the neigh
berbeod. May be they 'shamed ut bein' bate
by poor Kerry laborer; may be they af ard ef
Father O'halboraR an the holy wa,her. Any way,
nobody ever saw them again.
But ever an afthcr, the ring was Left wild an nm
TUNED sod and the ncRhbors never thought Il over
an above lucky 10 be boastin' or takia proud sf
themselves, lest they should be gifted wild something
even worseithan the large feet"
