McClure Co. ) For thrco days now I had been fishing ( both the rlvor Usko and Lough Kske , and on everyone or those three days I had seen that great -white salmon , and the sporting blood In mo tingled to the nnger-tlps each tlmo I saw him ; and I used nil my arts , nil my cunlng , nil my renowned prowess as flshorman ( and that , though I Bay It , Is not email ) to coax and capture that fellow but without the slightest avail. My sleep o' nights was disturbed , and I went after him upon new plans , In my dreams , and caught lilm I think 'three or four times , but ho olwn > a managed to break away again , gen erally carrying off half of my best prized rod , but one time I remember him carryIng - Ing off the whole rod , and myself at the end of It , and It was only an I was dashed over dreadful falls that I awoke , with an aching head. On the fourth day I did not get a glimpse of htm at all , I carried homo a rather bet ter take than my usual good1 tike and Ml- chaol Slnlvln complimented me highly ( Ml- fchaol was my landlord for the week / spent on the Cskc ) on my skill and g'od for tune. "Skill I once believed I had , Michael , but I believe BO no longer ; good fortune nnd I havon't even a nodding acquaint ance. " "What do yo mane ? " Bald Michael. I told Michael of the splendid opportu nities Providence and1 the big white nalmon bad been recklessly casting in my way , and of the afitnlno manner In which I had ut terly failed to benefit by them , "OhoI" said Michael. "So you have been 'and I'm always losln * things out of It. I make requlat that anything that goes Into cannot como without mo takln' It out. ' " ' 'That requlst's granted , ' says the little man , 'ax another/ "Wall , " eays Dan , "I have wan HWlo ap- pie tree out In my garden , an' I pet no good of It over , bokaso there's a sot of ncampa about Donegal and they rob that tree every year , afore the apples have got lalvo to ripen. I would make requlst that any wan lays a hand on an apple on that tree will be hold there till I give him leave to go. " "That requlst Is granted likewise , " says the little man. And then ho took his skillet with htm and disappeared. "After that Dan had a less troubleder mind than what ho used to have be'.tase there waa never a day passed afore that that ho wasn't frettln' and fumln' , either about the loss of some article out of his budget or else about the robbln * of hU ap ple tree by the Donegal ecamps. But now , attor half a dozen of these vagaibones had como to Dan's little garden , morodln' , and got stuck to the apple tree and held there till Dan came out and malavogued them , afore relcastn' them , they Boon 1'arnt to let tis apple tree and HtUo garden alone , and ho never lost anything more out of hie budget , moreover. So mo brave Dan wrought hard , and waa happy.

Didn't anywan toll ye that was Dnn Maloney ye wor wastln' yer time Iryln' to catch ? " I nhoolc my head , for I did not understand ( Michael. "That iblg white salmon , " said Michael , "is Dan Maloney , and as well might yo bo Iryln' to turn the tide with a pitchfork as endcavorln' ito hook Dan. " "Why have you christened him Dan Ma loney ? " "Bekaso that's what the priest christened him ! " "Does the priest christen all the salmon ? " "Botheration ! No , but ho christens Chrl&tlans. " 'Oh , and this particular salmon Is a Christ- ilan ? " "A Christian , yos. " "Enlighten mo , please , friend Michael. " THERE WAS "DEATH WRIDOLIN' AND PULLIN1 , THRYIN' TO ( JET FREE. Michael laid down his spade , seated him pelf comfortably on the ridge , made mo alt down beside him , refused with a suggestive Iicad-sbako my proffered cigar , lighted his own dusky smoke-machine , and spake : "Wnnst there lived close by the town of Donegal a poor tinker named Dan Mnloney , who owned a email woo hut scarce bigger nor a match box , nnd a piece of garden yo might cover with yor handkerchief. But ho was an honest , good-hearted man , was Dnn , oven If he was fond of a bit of a spree by times and hnd a bend as full of thrlcks as nn egg's full of malt. Ada when wan day there came Intll Dan a wee our man with a Email little sklllot which ho wanted some little mondment put on , Dan mended It for the poor mail , but wouldn't hciir tell of thnrgln' him , bekaso the man looked poor. "That's very kind entirely of ye , " says the Ilttlo man , "but I couldn't think of taking yer work for notliln' . I'll grant ye , " wys he , "any two requests ye like to make. " "So Dan at wanst seen that the Ilttlo man belonged to the Good People , and ho made bid rcqulets as ho was desired , " 'Tliero'u a budget , ' says Dan , saya ho , Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

" says Dan , saya he , "who are you , good man ? or what are ye ? or what's yor arrand Tvtlh mo ? " "I'm Death , " Bays the Bkelciton-bcin' , "and my arrandwith you Is to tell ye that yer tlmo has como to go ivlth me. " "Phow ! " says Dan , says ho , with a bit of a whistle. "Is that the way of it ? " "That's the wiy of It , " eaya Death , Bays he"Aro yo ready to coxno along ? " "I am , " says Dan , "if yo only Tvalt till I put mo things into the budget. I might need It. " "So Dan gathered Into his budget all his Insthrumonts , and slingin' it over his shoulder , told Death howas now ready , and to como on. Out Death and Dan then started , and trudged away. But they hadn't gene far -when Dan stopped and told Death ho had wan requlst to ax of him. "What Is It ? " says Death. "It's this , " says Dan. "We'll bo moetln' many of my neighbors as wo go along , and many people that knows me I don't mean , any manner of disrespect to you , but you j j know your looks aren't just the handsomest an' I'd sooner ye weren't seen In cny com pany. " "Well , what can I do ? " says Death. "If I part you I might have throublo catchln' ye again , for yo'ro very thrleky , Dan Maloney lonoy , as all the wurrl' knows. " "I don't ax ye to part me , " saya Dan , "I only ax yo to transform yersclf Into very small and light .bulk , and go Into my budget and remain there as wo go. " "I'll do anything to oblige ye , Dan , " says Death. "So he thereupon thransformed himself Into a very small bulk , and very light weight , and went Into Dan's budget. " 'I wish ye luck , me lad , ' says Dan , when ye got out of there. ' "The first Jodgln' house Dan came til ho put up at , and hung the budget by his bed stead till Tjaornln" . Next mornln' he started off again , and didn't tbravcl far till he came to where three men were quarryln * stonos. Dan wont tntll the quarry to them , an' layln' down the budget on a rock , axed the men to ccrne and bring their sledges an' sledge the budget for him. " 'Bekaso why ? ' says the men. " ' have the devil In It ' 'Bekaso I got , eays Dan. "Andwrion the three lads 1'arnt the dlvll was In the budget they lost little time , but were lammcrln * at It tooth and nail with all their might and the weightiest sledges they porspsecfl. "Kvery slllendher they como down on the budget poor Death kicked and screamed for all ho was worth Inside. And this made the men lay on their blows thicker and Taster and harder every tlmo. "Death bounced and danced Inside nnd yelled and roared , and cried out to them nnd to Dan to show mercy. But Dan allowea them to whack away and sledge away , he staudln' by cnjoyln' the thing with all hla might , till the sweat rolled off them In dhrops as iblg OB pigeon eggs , and the arms of them was gettln' tired and weak. "Then Dan made terms -with Death , that If Death would let him off for a year and a day longer ho'd lot him out of the budget. This Death agreed to and Dan let him out , anil bo went off llmpln' and rubbln' hla sorra , "Don , ho wont back home and wrought for a year and a day longer , nnd lived as happy all that tlmo as ever he had done In his life afore. And again , on a night that Dan -woa Boated upon the floor , niendln' or makln * some article , ho suddenly looked up , and saw Death standln' oyer him. " 'Hllloat' eaya Dan , 'It's welcome ye are. ' " 'I hope so , ' eays Death , 'Are ye ready to come along with me ? ' " 'Always ready , ' says Dan , says he , 'when a iglntleman calls , I'm with yo in a jlffey. ' "So , when Dan had tidied and thrlggcd up things , and clung his budget on hla back , himself and Death started out wanat more. " 'I have just bare one request to AX of ye , ' nays Dan , when they got outside the door. " 'And what Is that ? ' says Death. " 'It is,1 tays Dan , 'that afore partln * it forever I should like to have with me wan apple of my little apple three In the garden there would you mind pluckln' me wan ? ' " 'Why , eartlnly not , ' eaya Death. And In ho < woat to pluck Dan the apple. But beheld - hold ye ! When he caught hold cf It , , hls hand stuck fast to that apple , and' the apple to Its branch , and there was Death ivrle- glin' and pullln' thryln' to get fre , and Dan Maloney trtanilln' lookln' on unllln' but If Death waa pullln' and sthrlvln' from then ' till now ha wouldn't have been an inch. nearer freedom. Then ho CAllwl and1 prayed on Dan to come and rclalee him , but Dan sayed ft wouU ) ibo no harm for him to take n coolln' , nd accordln'ly left him hangln' to the apple tree all night. And In the mornln' ho relalsed him only on two condi tions. One was that Death wouldn't be In a hurry comln' for him ngnln , tout would lot him live a natural tarm , an * the other that It would give him to know the salcret HH SUDDENLY LOOKED UP AND SEES AN AWFUL LOOKIN' SKELETON BEIN' STANDIN' OVER HIM. of whether A sick person was goln' to die or get well. Death twos only too glad , to grant Dan Maloney those conditions. Ho agreed ito lot Dan now llvo bis natural tann , and he told him , moreover , how to know whether a sick person waa goln' to get -well or not. 'When you , ' cays Death to Dan , 'go Into the room of a sick person I give to you the power of seeln' me , and you're to look to see whether I stand .by . the sick man's head or feet. If I am standln' ( by his feet , that manca he'll got well , but If I'm etandln' by his head all the docluors In Europe won't euro that man. HO'B ( booked for me. ' Then Dan relalsed him , and poor Death hobbled off as best ho could after his night's alrln' . "And now- Dan Maloney pitched his budget to the dickens , cursed tlnkerin' and quit it , and announced himself as a doctor fit to cure all things curable. And short tlmo ho waa at the dootorln * afore his name and his fame a a wonderful doctor spread entirely far and wide , not alone over Ireland , Eng land and Scotland , but the whole continent of Europe. Bokase , whenever Dan Maloney was called in to see a sick man , ho at wanst pronounced on him whether ho could cure him or not. If Dan ever said , "I'll cure htm , " that man was eartln to bo cured ; and If Dan said , "No man can euro him , " that man was sartln to die. Wan single predic tion of Dan's was never known to fall. So It was Ilttlo wonder his practice grew great and fast. Ho never made a smaller charge than 5 guineas to the rich for boln' called In only wanst , so afore no time Dan didn't know his own riches. The poor Dan never charged , or wouldn't accept nothln * from , but always give to them his services free. Princes and prayllts , councillors and kings from all arts and parts called for Dan Ma loney when they tuk bad , and Dan was con veyed in etate with mounted and armed guards of honor rid In' afore him and be hind him , through many's a country of Europe. And at last ho come to be consid ered as almost , it not altogether , the great est man In all Europe and the wurrul' put together. "Ho built a castle with a window In It for every day of the year and he lived In all the grandeur and , state of a prince , him that used to too but a poor ethrugglln' tinker who , when ho got ( his breakwust , didn't know whether he'd earn his dinner or no and he entertained at his castle all the greatest and grandest company of the land. "For many years this kind of thing went on. Dan getting richer every day , and lavIsher - Isher , a'nd more generous to the poor for ho never forgot ho was poor wanst himself , and so never neglected the poor around him now , but in purtlkler poor tinkers. For many years , then , this sort of successful and grand life went on ; but wnn day , at long , and at last , what 'would yo have of It , but Dan Maloney fell sick himself with a falvor. And after he was sick nine days he opened his eyes on the ninth mornln' and seen Death standln' over him at the bead of his ibed ! This was a mighty bad flx for poor Dan , and no mistake ; and a mighty sweat it put TURNED DAN INTO "A LOVELY WHITE SALMON , IN THE IUVER ESKE. him , Intll. But Dan'e cute cleverness como till his assistance. 'I want , ' says Dan , says he , till his wife , 'two good stout men to bo brought Intll the room. ' And when they were brought In Dan ordered them to lift him and turn him with hla head to the other end of the ( bed , 'And when they did this Dan had Death at hU feet. And Death tnuk hla fist at him In a mighty rage and went away. It was no tlmo , then , till Dan wao well , and on bis feet again. And behold yo , no elck man that Dan was called In to see now , died , at all at all , Bekasc , If Dan ever found Death at their heads ho'd liavo them turned the other way In their beds , So it soon got that no wan died at nil within a great radius of Dan Maloney ; and Death was in a thundcrln' rage > . as you may well believe. To bo revenged upon Dan , ho at last got Oould Age and Disease to ' attack him ; and great havoc they wrough't upon Dan and Dan's temper. And Dan was so harassed be these that , won day , when he met Death , he proposed to Death that they should come < o tamiH. He agreed to give up curln' tboin Death ad marked ; only Death wan to eparo himself but , as Oould Age was now upon Dnn , and life was gettln' wearisome lo him he proposed that he'd like to change hla way of llvln' altogether , and If Death would only consent to turn him Into a salmon In the Esko river and let him live BWlmmln * about , and up and down , and leapln' and playln * till the Day of Judg. ment , Dan would be well antlf fled and would never give Death no trouble more.

SYSTEMS OF IRRIGATION IN ANCIENT TIMES Land UeTcrtB to lift Nntnrnl Aridity and Desolation HclRim Egyp tian Tobacco Grown Ex clusively In Tnrkor. WASHINGTON , Sept. 28. ( Correspond ence of The Bee. ) Northern Africa Is a country which is not all unknown to the traveler ; it is a land of remarkable inter est. There la found there eomo of the moat ancient history of > the world. In the valley of the NIle civiliza tion sprang forth and reached a mark which In Bomo features has hardly been surpassed. Yet a man has Just re turned to the United States -who is probably the first to thoroughly explore that coun try along certain lines. Ho Is the botanical explorer of the Agricultural department , Mr. W. T. Swingle. For eighteen months Mr. Swingle has been traveling oliout the Medi terranean countries looking for plants and trees and for the products of the agricul turist or the horticulturist which might beef of value to the farmers and fruit growers of the United States. "Especially Interesting , " said Mr. Swingle , in talking of Ma work , "did I find the North African countries. They greatly resemble our own southwest , and like a great portion of It , they are arid. Carrying the parallel still farther , they -were , like It , once fertile through Irrigation. This great area wasj once part of the Roman empire , and the Romans eeem to have known how to irri gate to perfection. For there Is evidence that all of north Africa was as fertile as l the present valley of the Nile. The waters of the rivers seem to have been stored for Irrigation In series of reservoirs , one above the other. The ruins of Algeria Indicate n wealthy and populous community. But long slnco the land has reverted to its original aridity , dams have < llBappeare < 3 and Irriga tion has ceased , yet the ruins of great cities rise from out of the hot , sandy wastes , well preserved monuments , In the dry at mosphere , to the former grandeur of th Romans. Many of the buildings In those cities are almost entire , showing clearly the style of architecture , the triumphal arches and olher types of Roman work , and until one gets Into their midst It seems hardly possible that they have stood uninhabited for long centuries. Whore now the burning sand of the desert Is swept about by hot winds , covering and uncovering carved etone and pillars , the green verdure , the swaying palms nnd the luxuriant growths or the tropics once held sway under the magic influence of water artificially distributed. The French government is now making some interesting 'excavations In Algeria , but othorwlso no desecration of the wonderful ruins Is allowed. Ksrj-ptlttii Tobacco , "Ono of the most Interesting bits at In formation that I picked up TVOS that we as a nation ore being delightfully Imposed upon In our use of Egyptian tobacco. Slnco the Chicago exposition , aad its Midway plals- nncowhich brought with it many eastern customs and-an American demand for east ern prodlucts , wo have been using Egyptian tobacco and especially Egyptian cigarettes In this country to a considerable extent. These cigarettes , in fact , ore considered the flnost of imported foranda and cost accord ingly. Yet , hero wo are paying 2 and 3 cents a smoke tor gold-papered cigarettes which never saw the light of Egypt. Strange as it may scorn , notwithstanding the sup posed flne cllmato of Egypt for growing to bacco , and the extensive Irrigation systems of the Nile , iwhero agriculture reaches a high state of perfection , good tobacco cannot bo grown in Egypt , and , as a matter of fact , tbo Egyptaln government has decreed against the growing of any tobacco what. over rwithln Its Jurisdiction. All Egyptian tobacco is raised in Turkey. The Turks are flno tobacco growers and expert tobacconists. For some reason they adopted the name of "Egyptian" tobacco to ecll their goods. The Egyptians , on tbo other hand , being able to ralso only inferior grades , saw that un less something TVOS done these flno Egyp tian brands "would soon bo discredited , so In order to keep up the high standard of "Egyptian" tobacco , and to retain the prestige and glory which the Turkish to- baoco had brought them , the Egyptian gov ernment employed the drastic measure of prohibiting any growth of the plant in Egypt.
