well, the occupant should be entirely

Treating a sbiIielah.

Hugh had for many years been watching
over the growth OF young blackthorn sap
ling. 1t had arrived at maturity about the
time the diabolical article appeared. The
supreme moment of his life came just when
the weapon on which he depended was
ready.
Returning from the manse, his whole
heart and soul set on ayenging his niece,
bis first act was to dig up the blackthorn SO
carefully that he might have enough of the
thick root to form lethal club Having
pruned it roughly. he placed the butt end
in warm ashes, night after night, to season
Then when il had become sapless and hard
be cut it to shape, then put it to pickle, {"
as the saying goes. After sufficient time
In the salt water, he took it out and rubbed
it with chamois and train oil for hours
Then he shot magpie, drained his blood
into cup, and with it polished the black
thorn till il became a glossy black with .
mahogany tint,
The shillelah was then a beautiful
tough, formidable weapon, and when tipped
with an iron ferrule was quite ready for
action. 1t became Hugh's trusty compau-
ion. No Sir Galahad ever cherished his
shield or trusted his spear as Hugh Bronte
cherished and loved his shillelah.
When the shillelah was ready, other
preparations were quickly completed.
Hugh made his will by the aid of a local
sehoolmaster, leaving all he possessed to his
mRligned niece, and then, decked out in q
new suit of broadcloth, in which he felt
stiff and awkward, he departed on his mis-
sion Of vengeance--McClure's Magazine.
