ments. Arriving lit I'at's domicile,
they were admitted ly the sick man's
weeping wife and conducted to the
chamber of not-fiir-oft death.
Put looked very Imd indeed, anil his
friends hardly knew whether .they had
come ill time or not. Hut the nenr-
dond man rose up as they neared the
bed. One grizzled hand pointed floor-
ward at the hedslde and in a weak
whisper the sii-k mnn bade his friends
hand him that which he sought. They
looked underneath and found a jug,
which Put joyfully clasped to his
brenst.
'I want," says he, "fer you, me
friends, to take a last bit of a swig
wllh me."
Acquiescing, Cluney grasped the jug
and removed the stopper. He placed
his nose to the opening, a smile creas
ing his rugged countenance. Before
drinking, however, lie turned to Mc
Manlgiin. "Sure nnd he's sinslhle to
