placed them about. eight yards asunders
,he thought of the easy life he led before
he became grand gentleman. But now
he heard something about making ready,
he saw the gentleman raise bis pistol on
a level with his head he titled to lift his
arm, but it stuck as fast by his side as if
it was glued there. He saw the wide OF
the pistol at his very eye, and looking as
if it were pasted up to his face He
could even see the leaden bullet that was
soon to go skelpin' through his brains.-
He saw the gentleman's finger on the
trigger! His head turned round and
round, and in an agony he cried out:
"Oh, how wish was Jem MCGOWAN
back again. :,
.Jem, You'll lose half your days work"
said Ned MagGire, who was laboring in
the same field with him There you've
been sleeping ever since your dinner.
while Squire Kavanagh, that you're al
ways talking about, was shot few mln-
utes ago in a duel that he fought with
some strange gentlemen in his own de-
mesne"
ooh" said Jen, as soon as he found he
was not shot, Il wouldn't for the wealth
of the world be gentleman. Better to
labor all day than spend half an hour in
the grandest company. Faith, I've had
enough and to spare of grand company
and being a gentleman since l have gone
to sleep here in the potato field, and
Squire Kavanagh, ifhe only knew it, had
much more reason, poor man, to wish lie
was Jem MCGOWAN than | had to wish l
was Squire Kavanagb.'
"And after that, Pat, concluded tn old
lady, Jem M'Gowan went about his work
like man, instead of wasting his time
in nonsensical wishings."
"Thankee, granny" yawned ray
M'Gowan as he shuffled off to bed Al
