er Heard of Any '"Tree o. the Lost
Children
and the queenly orb of night, moving
near her highest noon," told them that
the moment for their appeal to the
fairy tree was at hand.
Slowly - somewhat fearfully 49, they
passed through the protecting belt Of
heather. towards that side of the rath
from which, black against the moon
light, they could see the rugged
branches of the thorn tree, the '"rree
o. the Lost Children" Here and there
a hare, startled from it's form, set
young Shaun's heart humping vigor-
ously; or the call of a screech owl
made him almost wish he had not
come on this midnight journey.
At length they reached the tree, and
the old farmer, removing his caubeen,
and solemnly lifting his eyes to the
starry heavens, repeated three times
the words:
''Shaun, my son, implore you to re-
turn"
There was a rustling among the
furZe bushes on the side of the rath;
and StalWart figure leaped into the
open.
Il am here" cried a voice, and two
DraWny arms rested lovingly on old
Shaun's shoulders.
The gray-haired farmer shuddered
violently, and must have fallen had
not those same strong hands held him
up. Then he stared into the face Of
the new conner.
Don't We know me, father?" ex-
claimed this very palpable appar;tion;
and then, at last, old Shaun found
voice.
"'Tis my boyv' he cried. "'Tis my
lost Shaun! And, falling upon his
sons neck, like the king in the old BIZ
BILE story, he wept for very joy.
But young Shaun hobbled forward
and plucked the old man who held his
granfather by the sleeve.
"Sure, ye're the same that spoke to
me by the dyke, beyondv' he faltered.
"Aye, aviok," answered old Shaun's
son. "'Twas myself, sure enough. l

frame for the hammer, which was a
round piece of cast iron, with hole in
the center for a guide rod
Attached to the hammer block were
twenty seven ropes, carried up to the
top of the frame and down on the out
side, looking very much like the old
fashioned May pole. Twenty seven
women had hold of the ends, and with
a sing-song, all together pulled down:
up the rod, four feet, travelled the ham,

down it came on top Of the pile, which
was unprotected by band or ring.

Then, raising the old mans head ten

come home to spend my days and my

THoUGH the law expressly Gays that
the widow OF soldier forfets her pen
sion when she marries again, Congress
passed number Of bills granting pen
sicns to that class of women. The pres
ident vetoed them, however, saying that
though he had in a number of instances
deferred to the Judgment OF Congress
and refrained from interposing objec-
tions to bills of certain character, which
seemed to be of doubtful merit, he is un-
willing to follow such a wide departure
from a pslpsbly just pension theory and
assent to the establishment of such an
unfortunate precedent as this bill in
wolves. A soldiers widow has no claim
on the government except through him,
and when she msrries again and thus
displsces the memory OF her soldier hus-
band and surrenders ell that belongs to
soldier widow hood, she certainly ought
not, on the death OF her second husband,
to be allowed to claim that she is again
the soldiers widow. No reasoning will
90 with the raiders, though, who will
likely continue to buy votes With gov
eminent money.
