By TERENCE J OTOOLE
"Mike, ye poor dlvtl. \vh.v don't t* s?

The words were spoken by a country
?quire In Ttpperary county. Ireland, to

"fflwt would I (n there for?" in
quired Mike.
"Why. man. don't ye know that In ;
that connthry the gold piece* an'

Mike scratched his head. "Well."'
he said presently. If that's ?o I'll go
LInd roe the money for the voyage
and as soon as I cot to Ameriky I'll
pick up enough gold pieces rollln"
around to slnd hack the loan."
The squire laughed
'"Mike." he said more seriously, "all
as smart a man as you needs Is a
chance. I'll pay the passage of ye and
Bridget and the kid*, and ye needn't
?end It hack at all."
Mike accepted the offer and went to
America. The squire henrd nothing
from hira and had forgotten him when
one morning while sitting at his desk
writing be looked up and saw a man
dressed in a fur coat and with a soli
taire diamond stickpin In bis scarf
standing looking down on htm
"What can I do for you, air?" asked
the squire.
"Nothing. Yon done It long ago "
He pulled a wallet from his pocket,
counted out a numtier of gold piece*
and laid them on the desk.
"What"* that?" a?ked the squire.
"Didn't ye llnd It to me to take me
to Aroer1k,v? Ami didn't ye tell me
I'd find gold pieces rollln" around
there? Well. I did I kem hack to j
return the loan."

Mike took a chair mid told his story
"Te remember, nor. that me trade

to Amerlky 1 pot a Job and wont to
work. I didn't see nny pold pieces roll- i

" 'Are ye a mason?"
" "Faith I am.' says I.
"'If ye'll let me blindfold ye I'll give
ye a Job.'
" 'For bow much payT
" 'Somethln' more valuable than
money.'
" "Go on.'
"He blindfolded mo and lod me along

he tnrned me to the ripht and went on.

Then he led to the mipht. I still count
In' till he stopped, and turned me
round and round and took me into a
house and down Into the cellar. He
showed me a little room about 6 by
ft, with no door to It All there wns
in It was a coffin shaped box. Brick
and morthar was handy, and the seedy
man tould me to wall up the openln".
I done it and put one o' the bricks? the
fifth from the floor on me left? ? little
furder In than the rest, so I'd know
It a pain.
"When finished the seedy man biina
foldod me again and took me around
and. leaving me. says:
" 'Stand till ye hear a shot, then Take
off the bandage and ye'U And the pay

"When 1 hears the shot I took off the
bandage, and there at me feet was me

with wrltln' on It: "Only a fool

curiosity bein' satisfied, I thought no
more about It. but long aft her, when
me lease expired. I remembered this
bouse and rented It
"Lik? a fool. I tould Bridget that
there was a corpse In the cellar, and
she wouldn't let me rest till I'd pulled
down the brick wall I'd put up and
taken the coffin out While we was
carryln' It sometbln' dropped on the
cellar floor
" 'Mike.' says Bridget, 'look at the
yellow boys rolttn' on the floor'
" "Shure, me tolme's come." I says.
The squire was right 'The coffin was
foil of 'em
"I hunted for the man that had
beaten me out of the pay for me Job
and found that be was a raiser. I con
cluded to take me pay out of the boi
and *lve him the rent when he come
borne. I bought all the property round
about, and they built a railroad through
It. and I'm rich."
The squire sat with eyes and moutb
wide open till Mike had finished, then
burst Into a laugh.
"But suppose the miser returns?" he
suggested.
"What do I care? The gold I found
In the coffin Is rtothln' to what I made
specuUttn'. But I reckon be's dead, or
he wouldn't leave bis money so long
Like enough he put It In there to l>e

rade At Home
IT is a hard thing to convince noiw1 people, who have acquired the
* mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green field# far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the focal
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever ?ee it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue agains?mail order business.
