TALES Of YANKEE ENCHANTMENT. | $ JIM AND TI1C GOLD Sl'lKIT A TALK OF LOVE AND MONEY Q IJy Charles Unttoll Looinis. opyrlfiht , 1000. by Charles Hattoll I.oomK ) Jim Corbln's grandfather had been a miser , which probably accountw for tne In ordinate love lor money evinced by the boy It ho made 10 cents picking berries ho hid It away In a hole bent nth a loose board In the burn floor and often after ( school ho would go out to the barn and count his money. Jim lived with hlo father In a ding } whlto house of two stories near the top of Ioudon Hill HU mother had died when ho was a child of 3 , to the great grief of his father , but Jim only remembered her as a swcct- volied woman who used to carets him a geol deal , but for whom he never fell the love that ho alwajs had for his father. Mr. Cor- bin was a man who would have been con- tint with bio lot If he had not had a penny but Jim was nlwns wishing that he was mil and ho WHS in a fair way of becoming HO , for ho never spent n cent If ho could help it. Jim was fond of his father , although ho never thought much about It , but ho was de < Idcdly fond of tils dog , Snip , a black and white Hcltcr. Or at least It had setter blooJ In It When Jim went to register It at the town hall and was asked by the clerk what Kind of dog It was ho began : "Its father was a setter and Its mother was a collie " "Oh , mongrel , " said the clerk to Jim's last ing dlegunt. His dog was no mongrel If It did have mixed blood and ho thought as much of the bnndHomo animal ns he could think well of anything not connected with money. Ono evening after the chores v\cro done ho lighted a lantern and calling Snip went out to the barn to count his money. Ho found that ho had $76 78 "Not so bad for two yeara' savings , " said ho to Snip. "Oh , but I do wish thnt I wan awfully rich and had lots of horses and car riages and lived in a castle like- Judge 1'or- rlno's. " AH ho spoke ho was startled to sco a lltllo man In black about three feet lu height emerge from under the loose board end take up his stand In front of him Snip gave a low growl nnd raised his ruff , but ho did not desert Jim. As for the boy , although ho was startled , ho did not show It. Ho grabbed all his money and replaced It In the stocking , which Btnod as his purse. The little man stared at Jim from under his bushy oebrows and said In a voice that sounded like the clink of gold : "Well , what do you want of mo ? " "I don't want anything of you that I know of. I suppose } ou are a falrj ? " "As to that I don't know what you mean , " said the little man , "but I can glvo you riches all } ou want If jou do as I bid you. " \nd what must I do' " asked Jim , ris ing to his feet and eyeing the man with busplclon. "Well , } ou must give a thousand dollars to the poor every day , or your riches will vanish " 'And how much do I get every day' " asked Jim. Ho did not wish to make any foolish promises 'You'll get two thousand every day , be sides a handsome house nnd barn. " "All right , I promise , " said Jim , "al though I don't think it's a good deal , con sidering. " "Very well , don't forgot. The secceid thing Is } ou must kill } oiir dog" "Kill Snip ? I gupss not , " said Jlcn , pat ting the dog on Its shoulders. Snip lookwl up at him with a loving glance ns much AS HE GAZED AT IT , HIS FATHER CAME OUT AND JOINED HIM. JH to way : "You couldn't got along with out me , no matter how rich } ou were , could } OU ? " 'Well , It'b nothing to me , " said the llttlo man , turning to go as ho had come. "I don't euro whether you arc rich or not. Of course I'd llko your dog , but he'll bo no use to mo until IIO'H dead , no If } ou don't Kill him you get no wealth. " Jim was trembling all over. He loved Snip , but ho loved gold oven more. He lifted his Hand from the dog's shoulder. "Well , what IH if" sold the little man. ' Thu dog will only live a few } oars at best while } ou have forty or fifty } cars before you and all the wealth that you can wish If you will shorten his life. " This argument decided Jim. "How must I kl kill him ? " ho asked , breaking Into a sweat. "Shoot him , " said the llttlo man , as it ho was talking about the Killing of a part ridge. Jim walked silently out of the barn The dog rose to go too , but ho sent him back. In a few minutes bo came back with a shot- Run Ho wiifl a capital shot , but It is one SENT"FREE TO MEN A Most Iiciuarhablo Remedy Tliut Quickly Restores Lost Vigor To Men.

"When will I become rich ? " said he. "As Boon as the dog Is dead , " eald the llttlo man. The dog had curled up In his absence and had gene to sleep and this made It a trifle easier for him to shoot him If he bad risen and licked bis hand or lifted It with his cold muzzle , Jim would have told the little man to get away with his temptation , but the dog slept soundly and In a mlnuto ho had passed Into a dreamless sleep. Scarcely had the gun censed echoing when Jim found himself fti a splendid barn with no much to attract Ills attention that bo did not think of the dog. There were box stall's In which blooded horses pawed the lloor Impatiently , great hay lofiB , a harness room , n carriage room and running water and two grooms. The old man had disappeared and Jim was glad of It. With a whoop and a bound he ran to the house and found a marble palace o\cn liner than that ot Judge I'orrlnc. Ho bounded up the marble steps and pressed the electric button anil a servant In livery opened the door. "Where's my father ? " asked Jim. "In the library , " answered the servant , bowing.

As It was his collar cut his neck and his shoes felt tight. He found his father dressed in a tlght- Ilttlng frock coat and wearing n high collar jiul patent leather shoes and looking as uncomfortable - comfortable and forlorn as if he had malaria. "Isn't It great , father , " said Jim , with en thusiasm. "Is this your doing , son , " said the old man , badly. "I suppose It Is. You've al- wa3 wished we were rich and I suppose wo nro too rich to ever get over It , but If I could slip on my llannel' ' ' hlrt and go around in my socks I'd glvo all this fancy work and llxlngs to somebody who had been brought up to enjoy It. I alwas thought I was pretty contented , but I can't be contented with this. " Jim bank Into a seat opposite his father. It was soft and yielding and he bounced up and down on It bojliko for a moment or 'two before ho spoke. "Yes , elr , I did It or at least the Spirit of Gold did. We've got to glvo $1,000 a day to the poor or we'll lobe all our money. " "I loet all mtno before I was born , nnd yet 1'vo alwaB been happy. Still It will bo pleasant to help the poor. How did you get It all ? Uy fairy connivance ? " Just then a dog at the farm house next door howled dismally. Jim's face fell and ho heaved n 6lgh that you would hardly ex pect to hear from ono BO rich. "f had to pay a big prlco for it , papa , " said he. "I had to shoot Snip. " Mr. Corbln rose from his seat. "You shot your dog our dog ? " "Yes , elr. The man said he wouldn't live moro than a few ycara , anyway. " "Nono of us will for that matter. But , boy , that dog was your friend. He trusted jou Ho went to sleep with his head on your feet night after night , sure that you would not hurt him , and ho guarded our house after wo had both turned in. And you re ward him by killing blm. Oh , our wealth will do us no good. Get them to glvo us back our old homo and dog again. I'll never bo happy with all this starch and flummery and no dog to jump up on me when I come borne. " During the somewhat lengthy speech of the old man Jim'B face had been getting moro and moro crimson nnd he now rose to his feet and said "Father. 1 don't know what possesbcd me to do what I did. I don't believe I'll llko this kind of llfo ono bit. I'm afraid of getting a spot on my clothes ; the carpets xcem too nice to walk an ; there Itiii't anything cosy about it and it I can only get Snip back again I'll gladly glvo It all up. " Ho left the library and ran out of doors and through the spacious court yard that had been the old muddy barnard to the barn. Ho found the place where ho had stood when ho shot the dog. There was a. blood mark on the floor , but the dog's body was gono. Ae ho gazed at it his father came out nnd joined him. "Snippy , Snippy , como back to me. I'll glvo up all I have to get you back , " oald Jim. Jim.Never Never were words more sincere and they bore Instant fruit.

ABOUT FORMER FENIAN RAIDS Recollections Suggested by Talk of Nsw Attacks on Cannch. OLD-TIMER CITES INTERESTING HISTORY i\Iiloll iif Loliiucl .lolin O'Neillfll Knnuii .NrliritHl.il 1'liiiicir.Vliu Died In Oiitnlut In IS78. The reports of renewed nctlvlty among Irishmen formerly Identified with the Fenian t"orl"tlcs nnd proposed attacks on the Canadian boitlers In the Interest of the lloers have Centered Hew Interest In the old rcntnn i.Uds , which were participated In by men well known In Omaha und Ne braska. This Is more p.irllculaily ttuo of that led by ilener.il John O'Xolll. after whom the town of O'Neill In this s > tat3 was named and who later died In Omaha In 1878. An old timer , well versed In the Inner circles of former Pcnlanlatn , han brushed up this version of the famous affair : "In ISCfi the close of the civil war Itft without occupation a laiRo number of Ameri can cltlrens of Irish birth or parccilnRC who had seen imucii active mllltar > service. Most of thcso were Imbued with a venomoui hatred of England and many of them had distinguished thenifcclvcs not enl } by the usual Irish gift of physical courage , but also by the display of higher qualities as leaders. Among the latter \\as Colonel O'Neill , a graduate of West Point. Circum stances seemed to Indicate to the bitterly ntitl-Hrltkih Irish In this country the ex pediency of a great mllltaiy orfiatilratlon in furtlicrnncc nf their political designs. Sc\cn jears before. In 1S5S , the 'Fenian' movement - ment , with a name taken from one of the legendary heroes of the prlmltho Irish racei. had begun In Ireland. The 'Fenian Drothcihood' now sprang Into what was said to ho a thor Highly organized and equipped cxlFtcnce In this countiy It was reported at that time to have a following of moic than SO.OOO , as well na a tegular go\crnment , with an ofllco 'In the neighbor hood of Union Biiuare. ' Its organization was certainly complete enough to encourage It to attempt a rising In Ii eland. James Stephens , lts > famous 'head center , ' landed In this country , but was arrested and put in Jail. The Fenian rising of 1S65 failed and , whllo Stephens reimlned Incarcerated , the lenders on this bldo fell out among themselves. Ill * nl Haider * . "Of the two factions In the brotherhood the credit of the first attempt to raid Drltihh North America , with the United States as a base of operations , belongs to the 'O'M.i- honeyitcs. ' In April , ISfiC , they assembled a force of [ iOO men at Kastport , Me. , and them recel\cd 750 stands of arms , paid for with the money of their secret bympath.z- crs Upon complaint of the Ilrlt'sh ' consul at Eastport , the United States government confiscated thcio arms. The Hrltlsh , on their side , having been foicnnrncd , sent troops from St. Johns to Cninpobcllo , N. U. , the threatened point , and , on this side , Oeneral Mend ! , with a body of regular tioops , kept watch at Calais , Me. So enled the first attempt , remembered among the supporters of Penlnnlsm as 'Kllltan's laid ' "Ne\t month , however , Stephens himself , having escaped from prison , arrived in New- York nnd his arrival was the occasion of something like a reconciliation between the two factions , whoso animosities had been ac centuated by the failure of the Campobello attempt. Stephens himself is said to have been opposed to another border raid , hut Hobeits , the leader of the antl-O'Mahoney faction , now triumphant In the councils of the brotherhood , was determined on such a plan. Neither their own dissensions nor the seizure of moie than 2,000 rides by the United States government could turn them from their put pose. The Fenians from many states assembled and held a secret con vention at Duffalo and from Huffalo dis quieting rumors of a Fenian invasion crossed the Canadian border. "Hctween the middle of May and the end of that month there was great military activ ity In Canada. Reinforcements of regulars , tent from England , had already reached the dominion and all along the Niagara river and the borders detachments were ready to resist the Invaders. On Ma > ill , how over , when Colonel O'Neill , the ofllrer selected by ' ( icncral1 Sweeney of the broth1 1 crhood to carry out this enterprise , crossed the river at HulTalo , he found Fort Erie , on j the British side , unoccupied. The numbers i of the force which actually landed on Ca nadian soil have been variously estimated. They probably did not exceed flOO. Tor mora than a da } and night O'Neill's llttlo army ranged about the neighborhood of ' Fort Erie and it Is bald to the credit of | their leader thnt while they foraged upon | the Inhabitants , after the manner of rcgulnr Invaders , their conduct was generally free from excess.

' The num ber of whcm this parole v\as taken must have Included hundreds who had not sue- ceo led In cro slng the Niagara river. "Two v.ocks later ii proclamation was Is sued in Iluff.ilo signed 'M. W. llurna , brig adier general commanding Irish army at Uuflalo , ' requesting tlio 'brothers' to return to their home1 ! . This proclamatl-n bears wlt- j nets that 'tho extreme vigilance of the gov- j eminent of the United States frustrated our I pinna. It was the United States nnd not i England that Impeded our onward march to 1 freedom. ' ] "Hut in 'tho ' meantime other alarms of i Fcn'nn Invasion had disturbed the Canadian I frontier. There were nwtly exaggerated , If rot nltngother froundlcEo.
