Seamus, with the fair curly locks.
don't believe in 30 ghosts? Well, now, listen a bit to the story I'm going to tell ye, and maybe then you'll change your mind. A queer tale ye may think it; but anyhow, this was the way of it.
It was one night last winter, so it was, an' a howlin' black night, with the sea breakin' on the rocks below the way it would amash them all to powder, and the mad devila in the wind screamin' and fghtin' and cursin', till ye could hear nothing, not even the wild FR itself, for them.
Now, Sean Flaherty's is the great place to be in on a night na that was, and the only place about where ye might warm yeself with a drop of the eratur. God save him! And it wan Sean's placo I reached, that block night, with the soul of me weary with the struggling and fighting with the wild ones in the wind.
And as I reached it, didn't the door of a sudden fling itself open in front of ine, unlatelied maybe by the wind, and in I staggered, bringin' the rain and the gale with me, too, and dropped Inte my own place, over by the lile win- tow with the lawp burning there.
Well, there was muld Callaghan there, an' Seamus O'Brian, an' his brother Liam, an' Paddy Hennessy, nut a whole lot more that I made nut after a bil, and they were singin' an' laugh- in' away, same as it was a wake they were havin', And after a little while

"There y'are, Danny, man," says he, drop that down inside ye now an praise the good God for the storm that makes ye enjoy it the more. God save us, a dirty night!"

Weak and inferior insecticides cannot kill muths and their hungry larvae. These insecticides let the tiny moth-worms feed on your clothing— and are just as responsible for the loss of your property as the moths themselves! For safety's sake, be sure you get Fl.fT. FLIT really kills insects-and they stay dead! FLIT spray does not stain. Always insist on getting the yellow tin with the soldier and black band. To guar antee you against fraudulent refilling, the FLIT tin is sealed for your protection.
