He leaned forward in his chair, ana
big tears ran down his cheeks
and mingled with the gravy
on his plate. Then he laid bis head
down upon the table and wept as if his
heart would break. But his father went to
the closet and brought out q new bow and
arrow which he laid before his sou.
Half an hour later there was q shout Of
laughter in the backyard. When Mr.. Finn
went to the back door he saw little Mike
trying to penetrate the hide of the billy

ILL.,.

Only a little sun-lit hollow in Stumpy
Field separated Darby and the goat. One
morning, while yet the grass was bending
beneath diamonds of dew, the goat came
out of his barrel and stretched his legs.
He looked off over the alley at the mists
fleeing up the rugged sides of Snake Hill.
He saw the faint flush in the east gradually
Deepen into a vivid plush of rose color. he
watched the flight Of a Tapping crow as. ii
rose from o field of %sprouting corn. and
perched on the top of the big pine in Linds-
ley's wood. Inspired by the music of a
blue bird that few on the fence and sang
him O morning roundelsy, the billy
became frisky and bumped his back.
Then he INDUCED in q little practice buck
ing. While engaged in this harmless
amusement the billy became aware sud.
denly that he was q free goat, no longer
bound by the CALLING clothesline. The
billy, having satisfied himself that he was
no longer o captive, smbled over to Oar.

ever, was soon awakened, There was a

Then began an awful struggle. Urged
by the bill, Darby was forced ont into the
field and bowled over and over down the
hill. The billy attended strictly to bust
ness. No sooner did Darby get on his feet
than be was called on in a most forcible
manner to lie down. When Darby had
once more got his trembling legs under
him be made n supreme effort and ran
up the hillside. His ascent was materially
assisted by the goat. But Darby was going
toward the lime quarry In headlong,
laundering fight Darby rushed madly on.
The brushes fringing the brink OF the prec-
ipice were parted by the maddened rush OF
thirty-fiye pounds of animated pork. A
faint squeal rent the air of the beautiful
May morning. there was q dull and sicken-
ing thud on the rocks below, and
L!eless but beautiful Darby lay.

Bat while the May days were slipping
away into the eternities Mrs. Finn had not
been idle. Her boys extravagant praises
of Darby had awakened her cupidity anew.
Often while Mickey WAS at school Mrs.
Finn took sly trips over the meadows to
the sty. On. each OF these occasions she
always took with her some choice m0rsels
which were calculated to increase Darby's
girth and to make his jowls droop with
fatness. Alas, however, Mrs. Finn enter
tanned none of those fine eentiments of I'M
selfish love for Darby which animated her
con. She could sea no poetry in the cork
screw curl of Darby's tail as he grunted
with pleasure while gnawing last years
cabbage stump. Her finer sensibilities had
been roughened by the sandpaper Of mis-
fortune. Each pound Darby gained meant
not added grace and finely nodded proper
tiou to her, but rather suggested the salty
pork barrel and the sizzling frying pan.
During all this time Mickey's old gray
bearded billygoat was suffering the tor.
ments of unrequited affection. Day by
day the billy saw Mickey go by him on
his way to the pigpen. But once in three
long weeks did little Mike stop aud gam.
Dol with. the goat as he had been wont tc
do in the sweet old days before the coming
of the hated Darby. The goat seemed to
be aware that the affections Of his master
were waning away from him like the
twilight of an autumn day" He didn't
pine and droop as a less heroic spirit would
have done. but quietly waited, evidently
knowing that in the fullness of time re.
vengs should be his.

Before Mickey missed Darby his uncle
drove mp to the door and invited him TO
make q short visit TO Honckhockle. After
her son had gone and the breakfast dishes
were cleared away Mrs. Finn went to the
sty to have q look ut the pig. There the
awfnl reality dawned upon her-the
wrecked sty, the freed goat and the miss-
ing pig. But when she found Darby In
the quarry she made no moan. In fact,
axe smiled and bore the body home in hen
strong arms
The next morning Darby was tried by
fire and was not found wanting, for hia

savory smell that rosa from the oven VA

HERE is a bit of truth, timely and well

HERE is q bit of truth, timely and well
put, by the Boston Plot, regarding the
much claimed Irish-American vote:
"Irish-AmericanS are the most independent
voters in the country, and the idea that one or
two men can move them in themsss irrespective
of their own convictions is too slight to be con-
tradieted. Mr.. PATRICK ORD is deseryedly one
of the most influential and trusted men OF the
Irish race, having won the confidence OF the
people by long, able, and d.voted service; but
If Mr.. FORD and Mr.. 0'RIELLY together under
took to lead or push the Irish-Ameriesn millions
in q way not chosen by themselves there would
soon be two sorry and dismayed editors IN The
chairs Of two leading Irish-Ameriean papers"

Y. 8. Olin's New Barn Burned.

Last Thursday morning, between !
and O'Clock, girl living with the
family of N. g. DIN, in Streetsboro
township, was awakened by a bright
light streaming in at the window of
her room. Springing up, she discover
ed that the bal n was on fire, and gave
the slarm and ran to the burning build
ing to liberate the stock. She was soon
followed by the members ofthe family
and by their united efforts the animal 's
were all gotten out with the exception
of five milk COWS. The barn, which
was flushed but short time ago, Was
an elegant aud substantial structure,
100 feet long, so feet wide aud % feet
high, and wss built upon the site Of
the one burned about year ago, and
contained about one thousand bushels
of grain, 100 tons of hay, a new reaper
and binder, moving machine, disk
harrow, hay rake, and in fact, an en-
tire outfit of farming implements, all
of which were burned. In the stables
were 10 head of horses aud colts and
II cows, all of which. except five cows
were rescued. One of the COWS, which
came through the fire q year ago, had
narrow escape, the hair being burned
from her sides.
This is the third barn that has beer
burned on the same site, and the wort
of the incendiary is plainly visible, al
when the fire Yves first seen, the door
had been opened so as to create draf
| and the entire inside of the buildin,
was in flames. Should the villain VIII,
is doing this wo,k be caught, hanging
would be too good for him.
The loss is estimated at from 81 90
