"What would I go there for?" in- ; quired Mike. j "Why. irma. don't ye know that In : that counthry the pold pieces are ! roll Id' u round I very where?" i Mike scratched his head. "Well." i he said presently, "if that's so I'll go. i Llnd me tho money for tbe voyage j and as soon as I get to Amerlky I'll pick up enough gold pieces rollln ; around to slnd back the loan." The squire laughed. "Mike." he said more seriously, "all : ns smart a man as you needs is a chance. I'll pay the passage of ye and Bridget and tbe kids, and ye needn't send tt back at ail," Mike accepted the offer and went to ! America. Tho squire heard nothing 1 from him and bad forgotten him when one morning while sitting at bis desk writing he looked up nnd saw a nmn i dressed In a fur coat nnd with a soli taire diamond stickpin In his Bcarf standing looking down on him. "What can I do for you, sir?" asked the squire. "Nothing. You done It long ago." Fie pulled a wallet from his pocket, counted out a number of gold pieces and laid them on tbe desk. "What's that?" asked the squire. "Didn't ye llnd It to me to take me to Amerlky? And didn't ye tell me I'd find gold pieces rollin' around there? Well, I did. I kern back to return the. loan." "You dmi't menu to sny that you're Mike Doolan?" "I do." "And found gold pieces. rolling around In America?" "I did that same. 1 "Tut. Mike, ye're funnin. Sit down nnd tell me how yet pot rich." Mike took a chair and told his story. "Ye remember, sor, thnt me trade was a mason. Well, as soon ns 1 got to Amerlky I got a job and went to work. I didn't see any gold pieces roll In around, but I thought me time for thnt hadn't come yet, I found a shan ty on a road near a city nnd used to go In every day to work. "Well, one evenln' I was wnlkin' home covered with mortar whin a rag ged, dlrthy lookln filly stopped me nnd says, says he: " 'Are ye a mason? " 'Fnith 1 nm.' says I. 4"If ye'll lot me blindfold ye I'll give yo a Job.' "'For how much pay?' " 'Somctblu' more valuable than money.' " '(Jo on. "He blindfolded me nnd led me nlonp for awhile. I counted my steps. Thin be turned me to tbe right and went on. I beginuin' to count mo steps ng'ln Then he led to the rolght. I still count In' till he stopped, nnd turned me round and round nnd took me into a house and down Into the cellar. He showed me a little room about ( by 0 with no door to It. All there was in It was a colIln shaped box. Hrlck and morthar was handy, and tbe seedy man touhl me to wall up the opeuin'. I done it and put one o tbe bricks the fifth from tbe Hoor on me left a little Curtler lu than the rest, so I'd know it again. "When finished the seedy man blind folded me again and took me around and. leaving me, says: ' 'Stand till ye bear a shot, then take off the bandage nud ye'll llnd tho pay fur the Job nt your feet.' "When I bears the shot 1 took off the tmtidage, and there at me feet was me pay sbnre enough. It was n paper with wrltin on it: 'Only a fool works for nothlnV "1 went home nnd wrote down the figures of mo steps, and of a Sunda' I blindfolded meself and wint over the ground, countin' me steps; I found a house stitndln above with no body In tt, nnd In the cellar I knowed mo Job by tbe brick out of plnce. Me curiosity bein' satisfied, I thought no more about It, but long oft her. when me lense expired, 1 remembered this House and rented tt "Uke a fool. ( tould Bridget thnt there wns a corpse lu the cellar, and ho wouldn't let me rest till I'd pulled iown the brick wall I'd put up and nken the cotlln out. While we was -nrryln' It somethin' dropped on the eliar floor. "'Mike,' says Prldget, 'look at the vellow boys rollln' on the floor.' " 'Shure, me tolme's come I says The squire was right The coffin was ull of 'em. "I hunted for the man that had Mnten me out of the pay for me Job md found that he was a miser, t con lulled to take me pay out of the box uid give him the rent when he come lome- I bought all the property round itHHit. and they built a railroad through t. nud I'm rich." The squire sat with eyes and mouth vide opeu till Mike bad finished, then uirst Into a laugh. "Hut suppose the miser returns? he aiggented. "What do ! care? The (told 1 found n tbe coffin la nothln to what I made -peculatln. But I reckon he's dead, or le wouldn't leave his money so long. Like enough he put It In there to tw rone on a Journey, and, I don't thin le'll come back. And he never did. Ten Buyers for Your Slouse!
