IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
The Story OF n Lost Child Who Wa.
Found Recently by Smoking
Ont the Sprites.

In Il village in the west of Ireland n
few weeks ago n child wandered away
into the country ard was lost. Its unx-
ions parents, after Il weary and unavuil-
ing search, reported the matter to the
constable in charge OF the village. After
carefully questioning thcm he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
pre!imtnariCs, because il was clear 10
him that the poor child had been car
ried oil by the fairies, according to
their wc'!-known custom. The constu-
BILE told them 10 make n fire and burn
in IL MS mich Of "a certain herb us they
cou.d find. They did so nj once. Then,
according TO his Instructions. they went
again ia search OF the child. lie had de-
ciarcd that the smoke OF the burning
herb would force the fairies to bring
the child back, and, sure enough, on
Gcing over the ground they Ind previ-
ontly searched, they found the little
boy asleep beaide.a stream, saws the
New York sun.
The reputation and authority OF that
constable have now increased n hun.
drcdfo!d in all the countryside, and
very few houscholdcrS in those parts
now have the tcmcri,y to risk offending
the good people," as they call the
fairies tmuch as the Greeks used to call
the furies the Eumcnides," or we'll.
wishing ones), by emitting to leave out
every night the traditional bowl of milk
and the gridd!c cake for their benefit.
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish constabulary, he
has had to pass n fairly stiff examina-
ton In order to be received into the
service.

Corbett was not his old self in any of
the rounds, and half dozen times his
lettering knees, heaving chest, half
power blows and feeble swings led the
crowd to believe that the beginning of
his end was near. He rallied as many
times as these signs were seen, but not
to the full strength of the days when
he won his championship.
From the time when the men shook
hands ard the impatient thousands
cried Fight" Sharkey proved himself
a surprise. When he stripped to his
breech cIout there was a burst of ap
plause in admiration Of his splendid
muscles But still he looked heavy,
numbering, slow, but the same hard
hitting fighter that people here found
him before In contrast with Corbett,
sitting smiling in the opposite corner,
1.-the and sinewy, he looked as does a
bull in the presence of a leopard. If he
could hit he might win.
That was the opinion of three-quar-
tiers Of the spectators. Even those VIII
had their money on the sailor counteG
on that one piledriving blow to win. Il
SharkeY could hit Corbett once, they
said, ne could get at him again and
drive him to sleep with muscle. Shar-
KEY did hit Corbett that once-a fright
fu. blow, near the spot made famous by
Fitzsimmons. Then he hit Corbet
again and again. He had science, too.
the very thing the least of which wa
expected. And, stranger still, his az
vancement in the knowledge of how t.
use his fists, both for protection and
aggression, was so great that even Cor
bett did not show himself his superior
in skill.
Sharkey was not so quick on his feet
as was the former champion, but he
stood in close at every opportunity,
took what little punishment was lightly
given him and replied with sledge-
hammer force.
Corbett's ring tactics for while were
his old ones-hit and get away-but the
sailor was determined on close quarters
and insisted on having them. He tried
jabbing for a time to worry Sharkey
into rage that might mean a foul, but
Sharkey's temper was under curb and
