A Terrib Terry Gaffagan's Kingfish's (Copyrighted, 1895, “Going to Americal Those three words are fraught with mean- Ing to the Irish ear.

It was only when whole families uprooted themselves from | the soll and prepared to migrate that the sleepy little district was stirred to anything Iike emotion. | Buch an effect took place when the news | ‘went forth that the farmer of Kllnmeryj glen was about to take his wife and children | over the ocean. | Bverybody knew the big, honest farmer; and from ‘squire to laborer everybody re. gretted that poor crops and need of mone; foreed to him emigrate. Then there was Denny Connellan, the farmer's son, “as fine & gossoon' they sald in Ballycarney ever trod in shoe leather.” The parish genbinely sorry to lose Denny Connellan “as | was | THE WORST BOY IN THE PARISH. none more 8o than his occasional friend and associate, Terry Gaffagan. Terry was the parish “bad boy"'—the self- elected scapegoat of the neighborhood. But that did not prevent him from being a leader | among the juvenile population; indeed, his only rival for supremacy was the very Denny Connellan, now bound for America. The two stood about equal as hurlers, runners and wrestlers. Perhaps in bird-nesting—(and bird-nesting Is a very popular sport around Ballycarney)—the wild Terry Gaffagan had a slight advantage over the more respectable Denny. But this was easily explained by the latter’s adherents, who pointed out clearly that Terry had plenty of practice in wood- eraft and hedgerow-science while his rival was busy at school. THE PRECIOUS EGGS. However this might be Terry Gaftagan acored a notable point when he captured the three kingfisher's eggs. The kingfisher is the rarest of Irish birds and kingfisher's eggs are as scarce in Ballycarney as snowstorms in summer. There was grievous envy in Denny Connellan’s breast when he trotted over the hill to the tumble-down cottage whereln dwelt Terry and Terry’s disreputable old grandfather, for a peep at the famous eggs. They were beautles, those eggs, with their delicate shades of green, and blue and soft, cloudlike gray—Terry Gaffagan exhib- ited them with consclous, exaggerated humility. In vain Denny offered to barter all his stock of birds' nests for those treasures. In vain he even added two shillings to this tempting bid. _Terry positively refused to part with his Kingfisher's eggs; and wide- spread was his glory among the gossoons of Ballycarney. BOY FRIENDS. Despite their rivalry, and the fact that Denny’s good clothes, and general superior- ity of behavior had frequently galled him, Terry Gaffagan felt honestly grieved when he learned of the approaching departure of his rival for the mysteries of the New World. What was the use of being chief among the gossoons when there was no op- ponent to add spice to his happiness? Be- sides, where could another companion be found, so skilful on woodland expeditions, 80 daring in madcap races across the coun- try? Terry Gaffagan bad tears in his eyes, when he left the Connellan’s *‘farewell party" to which he had been bidden only at the earnest request of Denny. As he sped homeward, through the brist- ling gorge, he thought of all his adventures in company with young Connellan—of how they had hunted the Castle ghost, snared rabbits, robbed nests, and fared through many another boyish exploit together. Then ho remembered the presents which the neighbors had brought from far and near as tokens of kindness to the departing fam- ily. How he wished that he could give something by which Denny would remem- ber him in foreign lands. Unfortunately there was nothing in the Gaffagan hut which would find favor in Denny's eyes; nothing— except—. A GENEROUS IMPULSR. Terry Gaftagan stopped short among the yellow gorse, He suddenly remembered the kingfisher's eggs! The thought stirred up a great battle in the boy's heart. What a splendid gift those eggs Would be! How Denny Connellan would prize them! But what a terrible loss their absence would mean to Terry! Indeed he could not bear to give them away—not even to Denny Connellan. Once more he hastened through the gorse and once more the suggestion smote him, that he shoild carry the eggs to Denny. Hotly he debated the question within him- self, and, so debating, found himself at his own door. By the dim light ¢ the turf fire he could seo his grandfather asleep in one corner of the single room. Noislessly he crept in, barred the door, and took from undor his small trundle bed the box containing his treasure. A STRUGGLE. Superlatively beautiful the eggs seemed as he held them towards the the sullen, red glow of the turf. Clasping them to his breast, he sat down npon the little bad. Then agaln arose the memory of Denny Connellan and his triendship. But for Denny he would have led & wretched life indeed, for who had cared to associate with the ragged andehild of sottish old Con Gaffagan when there was no sturdy Denny to help him fight his_battl Then came a thought of compromise. Why not give one of the eggs to Denny, and keep the others? The idea was a brilllant one, and Terry decided to carry it out. Replac- ing two of the eggs, he dropped the third one Into his pocket, and slipped out of doors into the moonlight. But he had not trotted far along the track toward Kilamery Glen, when his conscience smote him bitterly. Would Denny really value one egg? For the second time he rushed down the pathway and entered the cottage. Another egg was dropped Inta the further pocket TDenny should posress two of his trophiel That was surely an unselfish present. But breasting the keen air on the hill- side, poor Terry stopped a third time and scratched his towzled red hair in utter per- plexity. Apparently the battle was not yet decided, for after awhile he turned his face onee again ta the cottage. walking very tlowly and thinking as he walked. With his hand ou the deor latch Terry uttered a great sob, and felt a mighty re- solve spring up within him. Denay Connel- lan wd have all—all the sggs. He would not keep even one for himseif.

Clearly their mission proved successful, when Terry at length opened his red and tear-stained eyes he found them smiling be- side his bed. “Terry,”” quoth the big farmer, would ye like to go to Amerikay?"” Terry's eyes fairly bulged. “Don’t ye be mockin' me,” he stammered. “"Tis no ‘mock at all, achorra,”” said the farmer. ‘“‘Sure 'twas a fine thing entirely ye did last night, an’ 'tis myself will never for- got it to ye. w, Terry, ‘herself' “bein’ willin' an’ ‘a gossoon more or less bein' of small account, we've s ed un takin' ye with us to New York.

Four miles from New York City stands the quaint-looking town, which is always re- marked by passengers to and from Staten Island, and which is generally known as the Robins Reef lighthouse. rough built on a reef for the purpose of warning mariners off the treacherous shoal, the little light- house has the appearance of rising directly from the waves without any visible founda- tion, for the reefs themselves are only ap- parent at the very lowest tide. For many years past this lttle beacon, which on a clear night may be perceived sons G “how eager ‘‘Yes!" ve for answer | from Sandy Hook, has been entrusted to the care of the Walker family, and right faith- fully have they performed the task allotted them, for not in sixteen years has the great revolving light in the turret of the house been dimmed, or in foggy weather has the bell buoy or the weirdly whistling ‘“siren’ failed to sound forth their notes of warning. The elder Walker, after eleven years of ceaseless care and “Watchfuln devoted to keeping bright the light and in saving the lives of many folk who ran ashore on the reefs, finally succumbed to the inevitable, and about six years ago was suddenly taken 1, and before he could explain anything about the workings of the light, died. At tho time of his death there was not a soul lving in the lighthouse, excepting his wife and little daughter, Mamie, then but 4 years old. Night had already come on, and with it a rising tide and a clouded sky. Having never paid any attention to the various ma- chinery for running the light and the other appurtenances Mrs. Walker was almost dis- tracted, for the sea had become high, a heavy fog had settled down, and it was impossible to seek assistance from hore, a mile away. MAMIE'S QUICK WIT. In this crisis 4-year-old Mamie came to her aid, and with® the self-possession that betokened a thorough knowledge gained by being in the company of her father on his rounds through the building, she started the machinery going to signal to mariners by light and buoy. Up in the turret with its great glope of curfously carved magnifying glasses. Mamie hurried, and burnishing the lamp inside, hastened to the basement and started the engine, which gives the light a slow, revolving motion. When turning to the engine, driven by explosion of kerosene, which blows the whistling buoy or’siren, as it is technically termed, she started it going and closed her rounds by going to the fourth story, and, throwing on the huge ratchet wound up the automatic arrangement th tolls the bell buoy. This was the first exploit of Mamie Walker, who, though known in a eircle of friends limited to the rough but kind old boatmen at St. George and Tompkinsville, lives a life entirely apart from other girs, and in many ways is a remarkable child. Immediately atter her tather's death, Jecob, her brother, a young man now of about 20, dropped his posi- tion in_the city and came to take his father's place, but he left soon, and up until very re- cently Mrs. Walker and Mamie have lived to- gether and alone with an old grandfather on MAMIE WALKER THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER. the Robins Reef, where year in and year out they have occupled themselves with keep- ing the light, and attending to the ordinary domestic dutles, A LONELY LIFE. Though Robins Reef is 50 near to the great centers of population and within hailing dis- tance of the Staten Island boats, it might for all the intercourse afforded the denizens there be in the Sahara desert. Sometimes in the winter when the great ico floes jam against the little house, which seems in constaat danger of being crushed like a cock’eshell, Mrs. Walker and Mamle see no other persons for three or four weeks. In the summer time, however, they gener- ally manage to get to land for a shgrt time frequently, though nelther care to stay for any length of time from the reef. The only means of reaching the lighthouse is by the government tug from Tompkn:vil'e, which only runs for the favored few and at intervals of several weeks, or by row boat. It is by the latter method that Mamle and ber mother come ashore for provisions, some- timea raising a sall in the stanch little White- | hall boat, and making a speedy trip when the wind is in their favor. Mamle herself is now a girl of 9 years, very hardy and with a bright, cheery dispo:ition. Her hair is a beautlful flasen, not arrived at by artifie’sl means, It is nesdless to say. The lovely color on her cheeks would cer- taloly be envied by any girl. Though inp mured on this solitary reef all ber life, and or having been ashore until two years ago, she is by no means uacultivated as to her education, aud probably writes a more grace- ful hand than the majority. She s also con- versant with arithmetic and the other com- mon school branches, and every book which the government has given them, and the Lst is not extemsive, she has devoured time and time again.

CONFIDENCE IN THF WALKERS. In addition to this the government allows Mrs. Welker $55 a month, including light and coal. ~ Siuce they derive a considerable in- come from fishing it may be seen that a &nug sum of money Is put away every month. Mrs. Walker, who is a spare German woman of middle age and doting on her daughter intends to keep on laying up her monthly salary to support them in case they should at any time be compelled to leave the light. | This does not seem at all likely, for the | government officials, while they visit other Nouses at least four times a year, rarely get to Robins Reef more than once. They |are so confident that everything is in the best of order there that they. do not take the trouble to make an inspection.
