Faith and begorrah. !f you look up In the sky over Case

tlegar tomorrow on the Blessed Patrick’s Day and see, a

rainbow, haste ye to find the end of-it, for there for sure’,

lies the pot of gold found years ago by that faithful son of Tipperary's Galtee Mountains, Lanty Gavigan.

The story of Lanty and his remarkable pot of gold mk: i

ght not survive under the burning light of science, but never mind there are. those, too, who do not believe in the Little People who dance in the glens-and grannogs of the Emerald Isle.

Lanty loved Castlegar because of its irish name. He

_ once’ settled at: Murphy Creek and there he might have

stayed but Lanty, God’ rest his soul, was led to Castlegar

. by a Leprachaun—you know those little people, no bigger

than your thumb, who dress gaily in green swallow-tail

" coats," pair of yellow knee ‘breeches, white stockings,

black shoes with bright golden buckles, and set at a jaunty angle on their.wee curly heads is‘a black billy-cock hat.

Well, one day Lanty met one down just about where *

No. 3 Well in Castlegar is located, and it said to him:

“Lanty, me boy, | sat by your cradle the night ‘you ©

+ were born, and !-followed you around the entire entrancing

corners of Ireland, from thatch cottage to Dublin, and,

travelled with. you over the dark waters of the Atlantic to guide and console you, and when you were tempted by sin, we helped you resist the wiles of. the devil and when dis- couragement sat like a sack of stones on your back, we were with you to help Highten* your Burden." ¥ t

Now in those days there were very few people in this country from the Old Sod, and those who were unlucky en- ‘cough to be non-trish thought Lanty was daft in the head when he told them of his little friends.

Everybody knew that Lanty was different from every one else in the:community. He toiled not, neither did he spin but the Leprachauns supplied him with raiment as

own.”

‘And then one day Lanty Gavigan vanished. Where did he .go?:To this “very day there is not a living soul who knows, but on St. Patrick’s Day, who should turn up. in town, yes, you guessed it, it was Lanty Gavigan himself!

Faith, there’s many a story to be told about" that night.

Watching our high school hockey .team in action the other day, I could not re- frain from brooding about how the game has changed,

what I was watching was “sport’’, and “sch boy” sport at that, I guess . it’s time I was put out to pasture,

The air was rent by the sounds of cobbl ing away: mending shoes (everybody knows that is the line of work of the Lebrachaun) and even the quietest man in town was fill- ed with blarney and fairy launghter drifted in the winds that blew along Columbia Avenve.

And there was Lanty Gavigan, the saints preserve him,

standing in the middle of the street holding a pot of gold, © and around him were dancing ard excited little Creatures

the likes of which Castlegar had never seen before.

To everybody who came up to him, he gave a handful, .of gold, and the pot always seemed to be filled with the’ yellow, glistening metal.

And Lanty strode through town as if he owend it, and faith, he had handed out enough gold to buy the whole place from Kinnaird to Robson West.

And then, and oh, it was a terrible sight to see, Lanty' Gavigan dropped dead,;: right there in the middle of the

street where Pine meets Columbia, and everybody surged i

forward to help him. Or was‘it grab the pot of gold? |” The pot of gold, alas, vanished like the snow which , melts before the warming power of a spring thaw.

Now Lanty Gavigan sleeps in. an unmarked grave;

but on nights when all is still, those whose ears are attuned to, the whisper of the winds,.claim they hear Lanty laugh- ing, and on St. Patricks Day, when the rainbow shows over

Castlega?, the Leprachauns return to display their ‘pot of!
