A Fairy THORN.

Young Shaun Cad gone to America
and old Shaun vas left alone in. the
cottage in Ireland. He was not quite
alone either, for before his son sailed
he had sent home a very snail boy,
saying in a brief note that the little.
fellows name was also Shaun and that
if his father did not want, to keep
Itim he should send him.back. Young
Shaun would wait two weeks to re-
him. If the youngster did not
appear within that time his father
would understand that his grandfather
meant to keep him and would emigrate
without further delay. The. boys
mother was dead. From these State
ments it will be inferred that the old
man and his son were not ION terms"
In fact there had been a quarrel, but
that had nothing more to do with this
STORY. The grandfather did not send
the boy back and no more was heard
of young Shaun for fifteen years.
Shaun, the youngest, grew up duti-
fully, at his, grandfather''s knee. He
was Spirited but he had none Of his
fathers wildness, and the old. man

Shaun very fine clothes indeed; and
sporting a brilliant gold watch chain
across the somewhat broad expanse Of
his waistcoat. Shaun liked the mar
instinctively. He had an honest, good
