every family with which We have to

THE children OF parents addicted

to us children, who could never re-
member cross word or a somber
complaint from her. Always there
was sweet smile upon her lips, and
OIL what wonderful fairy stories she
told us-foiklose which we have
never forgotten.
They were the old Irish legends
which had been told to her by her
own dear grandmother, and which I
always enjoy telling to the little chill
dren in the company. because they
arc 20 full of romance and charm.
We believed just as firmly that the
little people lowered near us, watch
ing US at Our play, as did super
stitious old Irishman who lived in
funny little half-tumbied- down
house not very far from us.
He was cranky old fellow, and
because we children were afraid of
him it became dangerous but al
Turing sport to tease this old man
whenever we had the chance. Lottie,
Jack and / discovered that he never
locked the doors of his house, and
with two or three of the boldest of
US we would steal into the shanty
and there would play our pranks.
If the bed were made, we would
always unmake tiff the FIRE were
built. we would always put it out But
it we found the bed all tossed and
tunbled we would make it up spick
and span like good little housewives,
and when the stove was empty we
would send Jack out for wood and
build nice little fire so when the
old man came in he would find the
teakettle steaming away on the stove.
1t the house were dirty, we cleaned
tiff the pictures were straight. we
turned them upside down. We always
put the chairs in the wrong place,
and before leaving, we drew down
every shade in the house,
Then we would hide in the wood
shed and listen to the old man as he
stamped up the stairs, half afraid to
60 into his own house.
The saints have pity on mel" he
would humble, as he opened the door
and peeked into the shanty. Faith,
