CHAPTER III.

The glare Of the sun of noon was in
Thady's cabin when he awoke the next day
1t took him moment to collect his senses.
In which task he was aided by a peculiar
thirst in his mouth and a racking pain in
his head. What also served to suggest the
event of the day previous was the fact that
his clothes were on him. He soon realized
that he had been on drunken spree, and a
sense of shame crept over him--a sense of
outlines and burying his head in the bed
clothes, be began to indulge in regrets and
accusations. What noise was that that sent
pang to his heart. and made him t-emble
like coward? 1t was only small matter
it was only the sad moan of a woman
There was a sound of half-stifled sobbing,
too, and Thady knew whose heart was al
most breaking. He raised himself upon his
elbow, and looking across the room be saw
Molly, with her head beat upon her knees,
and her body swinging to and fro, as she
gave vent to the grief that was upon her.
Thady had seen her in such situations be-
tore-spreeing was no new thing to him
but never before had be felt so much self>
reproached. There was one thought, how>
ever, thai: t:consoled him-had he not doubled
his five pounds at the races and was be
not master of the amount required to bring
him to Ned and good fortune in America
This was the silver and golden lining to him
cloud.
Rising from the bed, he halfwalked, half
staggered to where Molly was sitting, and
placing an arm about her, he drew her close
to him, and tried the blarney he knew so
we'll how to use.
''Ah, me darlin', me jswel, what are We
goin' on this way at What has wint
wrong wild ye,' my craythur Shure We
are brakin' me heart wild yer sighin' an
groanin.' What's wrong wid ye at all, at
all ?''
whats wrong wild me, is it, Thady q"
said she. turning her fearful face toward
him. "Ah, it's you that may well ask that
it's you that may well ask that. oh,
why did live to see this day, why didn't
1 die before this disgrace came upon me and
mine %
And the poor woman broke into sobbing
again, In a way that appealed very strongly
to Thady's feelings.
"Arrah, Molly acushla. don't fret yerself
like this. Shure knew was drunk and
Pm sorry for it; but I've good news for
you, me darlin'. Look up, Molly Look
up. womanI Shure the five pounds are

"Where's tho money, is it7 Why, it's in

/ The excitement becomes intense now al
| over the course, and the eyes of Thady's
party are anxiously looking for the first 81 ght
| OF the horses as they make the last turn and
strike the hOmeStreteh.
''Here they are here they are 20 and wild
shouts burst from a thousand throats as the
Jockeys caps, bobhing up and down behind
! the rise of the hill, announce the approach.
"Glpsy's first !" Yes the gallant mare is
still at the front; but Darby Winn has been
dong well, for Barbarian has the second
place, and is pushing hard for the mare
Thady lays bis remaining three pounds on
the Barbarian.
On they come, laundering over tie turf.
and great cheer goes up for Denny as he
places the horse by the side of the mare, and
the neck-and- neck struggle begins. Gipsy's
rider is using whip and srur; Denny has
his horse well in hand, and is riding with
tie best seat in the field. His spurs are qui-
ct yet and 80 is his whip, but he will put
them to service presently. He has great
confidence In his horse, and he knows that

Such whipping and spHrringi Gipsy is
stretching her beautiful neck as if she knew
that an inch was as good as mile bat the
long strides of the horse have told their story
the bonHy mare falls back, aud Barbarian
comes In the winnerl
Thady is master of ten pounds. and is
happy man.
Success is great elevator of the spirits
Thady's rose to an indescribable pitch when
he found his great desire accomplished.-
What Molly would think of the means he
had used to accomplish his purpose never
occurred to him and when, with an arm
around the neck of his friend Barney, he en-
tered public house and called for round
VI punch, he forgot what he had said con-
cernlng whisky when he held up the FIVE fin
gers OF his right hand to Molie in the morn
ing. And one round was not enough aa-
other, and another, and another followed
and then the two friends reached that mel
low state which so well bears out the saving,
u here's truth N wine" Steadfast friends
they have been for years, but now they must
protest their friendship for each other over
and over again. They shake hands twenty
tunes at least, and laugh and cry by turns,
as their feelings move them. Barney takes
new silk handkerchief from his neck and
ties 1t around Thady's as well as his uncer-
tain hands can and Thady, in an unaccoupt
able excess Of kindness, lends Barney FIVE
pounds towards the purchase of a COW. Bar
ncy essays again to shake hands, but misses
the hand OF Thady and falls to the floor
Thady stoops to assist him to his seat, loses
his balance, falls over the body of his pros
trate friend, and is soon ia drunken slum-
Der.
The sleep of drunkenness is heavy. The
placing of Thady and Barney in the cart of
a farmer who was going by the-way Of their
homes did not awaken either of them. One
individual who helped to put Thady in the
cart, was very particular in arrangsTg 2 our
hero's waistcpat and buttoning his coat.

4 THRILLING SCENE ON A = RAILROAD!
The Chicago Republican gives the particu-
lars'of the burning ofthcmagnific palace
sleeping car Getty Of Chicago" onIhc Bur
lington, Quincy and Chicago railroad, few
nights ago. il says:
"Thc- train was moving at full speed,
when suddenly q kerosene lamp in the rear
end Of the car exploded, and Instantly that
part Of the coach was in flames, which with
friyhtful rapidity seized the bedding and
woodwork. Had it been tho forward lamp,
anil tho flames been driven back upon their
prey, there is no doubt that several lives
must have been lost, with such fcrccncss
did tho dcvouring clement mako progress
even against tho Roadway of the train. Mr..
Bishop, our informant, was sleeping in The
middle section, and answering tho first
alarm sprang for the door. Returning to
get his boots from beneath his berth, he
was driven back in haste by the flames and
sitting smoke. For few minutes tho ut
most alarm prevailed, md one or two Of
tho passengers were wi th difficulty saved
from their own frantic effort to loap from
the train. All, however, safely reached
The car in front, but most of them left be-
hind in their bcrths such articles Of appa-
rel and valunbles as they had laid aside in
disrobing for the night. This brought
two unfo, tunates out in tho light nndress
uniform, for winter night, of cotton shirts
and drawcre--a state of affairs whicl ins
stantly called for contributions from tho
baggage Of their moro fortunate follow
passengers.
"While oil this was transpiring in the
escape Of passengers tho flames had taken
possession Of tho entire ill~fated oar, for
ward and aft, and were lcaping and stream.

most extraordinary spectacle, as the train
kept on its way with heightened speed, it

to mako for the wator station at Buda, q

flames might be drowned out. Vain hopo
for the unfortunate car, instead Of being
