It was Christmas eve, A roaring hlaie if hickory logs sent fiery sparks through .tho wide mouthed chimney out Into the night, Snow and hail beat upon the cot­ tage, and angry winds hanged the shut­ ters to anil fro. Outside were darkness and the tempest, but inside were warmth, mirth, fraternity. “ *Tis a wild night,” said Mrs. Mad­ den os she peered into the darkness through the frosted wiudow panes, “I hope the goat will take no lmn um." “You needn’t worry about him, moth­ er,” said her son Larry. "Sure I gave him two bupdlcs of buy and an auld straw h it. He’ll not be cold or hungry the night.” . “Sit yon down, Mary," said her husband. “ 'T ib no time for worry, woman. Here’s 1 glass of punch. ‘ Tickle jour tongue with that, Here, chlUler, come here till I give you some sarsaparilla. Come, Gra­ dy, and Moriavty and Mrs. Malone and Ellen. Bring your, 'cordlon, O'Connor, Hurroo! Ellen, your foot is light as a thistle on a spider's web. Whack the flure, your trotters- shake! Good luck to you! I’m glad the good saints let me live to see this Christmas eve,” 'Twas a goodly sight to see. The kitchen was crowded with the neighbors. O’Connor sat upon tho wood box. jerking the animated camera. Rheumatic Mrs. Malone and Ellen Itilcj were dancing in the middle of the floor. The children were huddled, with hands on knees, in a circle around the lively couple. But above the squeaking of the accordion and the jocund laughter of youth boomed the thunder of the tempest outside. The music came to' a sudden stop as two bricks fell down the chimney into the fire and a crashing blow utmost broke the door from its hinges. “ ’Ti* the big wind of Ireland coinih again,” groaned Mrs. Malone, just ns un- other assault smashed a panel in the door •and the goat’s head came through, A roar of laughter saluted him and confi­ dence was again restored. , “He was lonely out there in the cold,” said Mr. Madden sympathetically, as he pulled the gout’s head bill of tho'hole. “Come inside, Billy.” The goat accepted the invitation nud lying down on the hearthstone began complacently to chew on Mrs. Malone's dress. “You were syealdn about1 the big wind in Ireland, Mrs. Malone,” said Madden encouragingly. “IIow long ago was tlmt, now?” “ ’Twas <52yc-nr ago tonight, jist, and 1 remember the same ns if ’twas yester­ day.” “How old are-you, granny?” asked Grady, the doubter. “I’m 03-last May, and every tooth in me head,” “You have a good memory,” said Grady, “Sure I have a bettlier memory nor you have manners, you scut, you,” re­ plied Mrs. Malone angrily. “Don’t inind him, granny,” said O’Con­ nor soothingl}’. “That must ho a terri­ ble wind entirely you were talkin about.” “Indeed thin it was,” resumed the story teller. “There never was such, a wind in the world." . Did it do much hnrruui?” eagerly queried Morinrty. “Herruru,' man! Well, I ’ll tell you. My poor ould father was coinin home wid a Jug of whisky to make Christmas punch, when the wind cotch him as he was eotnin around the corner and druv every sup of the liquor out of the jug Into—into"—• “Your father?” asked Grady, with a grin. “Now, \ see here, Grady,” said ' Mrs. Malone, “I'll not be bullyragged by you nnuy more, wld your goat whiskers and pig eyes, bad scran to you. Now, you tell the story. Mebbe you know what th.e wind done to the drake.” “I t didn’t blow the toe nails off him, did it?” asked Grady innocently. “No,” said Mrs. Malone sarcastically, “but It blew every blessed feather off the poor haste^as clone as If he was plucked, glory be, and he came waddlin in the door ao smooth shaven as n monk and sat down on the hearthstone to, warrum himself wldout sayin ns much as ’Merry Christmas.5” “And well he might, boin undressed, the poor craytur,” said O'Conuot'v aym- athetlenlly. “And when he had himself wnrrumcd t )h4*j{l*b{lLX'<5uppose lie flow in the koilin il cooked himself for the Christmas OANNEX) GOODS -Tonm toes 10e jier ean, 0 for 23e.

The storm had passed away, and stars shone in the vault of heaven ns if presaging'peace and good will to men. The little company listened with bowed lteads to the clear notes of the boil ringing down the vulley and dying away in failing cadences- The silence-was broken by Mrs. Mnloue, who said: ' “Grady, I hope before another Christ­ mas' comes that you. will not la1 so un­ lucky as our goat was on the night of the big wind."' "He didn’t begin to talk and tell the truth, did he?" said Grady. “Faith, he did not. Sure neither goafs nor Gradys ever did that. But we found the goat in the vnornin hold up ng'iu the house by the wind till he froze to death, nud when the sun shone, on his whiskers, covered with icicles.
