Pat

O'Hooley Tells of Larry’s Ad.
BYL H, HOLDEN

(Copyrighted, 1925, by I. H. Holden, Cereal, Alta.).

“Sure, an’ I often think of th’
joke th’ lads played on Jimmy
O’Connell, back in th’ home-
steadin’ days.’? said. Pat O’Hoo-
ley to'a number of admirers
gathered around him in the sec-
tion house. ‘Jimmy was a foine
bye; but he was mora afraid of a
woman than he was of a ragin’
tiger. If there had bin as many
petticoats thin as there are now,
Jimmy would have run his legs
off tryin’ t’ kane out of sight of
thim. Knowin’ this an’ that
Jimmy was th’ bist housekaper
in th’ district, Larry Malone an’
some of th’ lads got togither wan
avenin’ an’ put up a job.on him.

"So th’ nixt mail that goes t’
th’ city has an ad. fer the paper,
askin’ fer a young housekaper t’
wurrek in th’ country, wid good
wages, dacint home, an’ every-
thing purty an’ nice.

** *Kaquire fer Jimmy O’Con-
nell, Baudyer Bound,’ ut sez; an’
th’ bunch of skamers, in high
vlee, spread the news all over
th’ district, knowin’ that Jimmy,
not takin’ the paper, would niver
de th’ wiser until ut was too late.

‘So wan mornin’, whin Jimmy
comes t’ town fer some groceries,
th? station agent calls him over,
an’ poiutin’ t’ th’ waitin’ room,
sez: “There's some parties t’ see
ye in there, an’ if I’m not zreatly
mistaken, me bye, there’s break-
ers ubeud fer ye; "tis a sly duck
ye are,’

‘So Jimmy, remimberin’ that
ne has a binder pote due an’ un-
paid, stumbles int’ th’ waitin’
room wid fear an’ trimblin’, But
there was no fierce coliector wai-
tin’ t? spring on him; on the con-
trary there’s a cute little cuss
wid curly brown hair, coutinted!y
munebin’ a cookie; an’ ali alone
by himself.

‘“*Well, well? sez Jimmy,
stoopin’ down an’ gathering th’
little lad up in his arms, fer Jim-
my loved childers, an’ nither a
wan but would make frinds wid
him on sight. ‘Will ve give me
a bite of yer cookie?’ sez he,
hugegin’ th’ little fetlie up toight.

""¥Yeth, thir,’ sez th’ laddie,

promptly offerin’ his fist; an’ that
was about all that was left.
_ “*'*What a great big man ye
are!’ sez Jimmy, makin’ a bluff
of takin’ a mouthful of cookie.
‘Where's ver papa?’ :

‘** T dist dot a mama,’ sez th’
laddie.

‘* Oh, Igee,’ sez Jimmy, ‘Well
ye’rea foinebvye, anyhow. Fwhat
can ye do besides atein’ cookies?’

'‘''T ride horsiel’ sez th’ little
chap, proudly’ ‘An’ I want a

f|/dreat big dog. Mama sez Billy

have a big dog some dav,’

" ‘Sure ye willl’ sez Jimmy,
‘By gorrie, I know ye will, fer
here’a me own pup roight at me
heels, an’ ye’re goin’ t’ have a
roide on his back.’ So, suitin’
th’ action t’ th* word, Jimmy
perches Billy on old Towser’s
back, an’ around th’ room they

go, in high glee until everything

This is Pat

is forgotten in th’ fun of ut. So
intent was they in their. frolic
that nither heard th’ dure open
an’ somewan come in. Whin
Jimmy did look up, he sees a
swate-faced lady standin’ before
him, smoilin’ friendly-loike, an’
*twas aisy t’ see by th’ look of
love in her eves that she was
Billy’s mother.

“Oh, mama!’ shrills Billy,
ain’t I dot a nice horsie?’

“Thin Jimmy was most ready
t? sink through th’ flure wid
shame whin he sees th’ nice lady
Jookin’ straight at him,

‘Excuse me, ma’m,’ sez he,
touchin’ his eap, an’ settin’ Billy
down as if he was an egg. ‘1
beg ver pardon, fer ] was—|—’

‘““"?Tis no offince at all, I’m
sure,’ sez she, graciously. . ‘T’m
really plased t’ see ye an’ Billy
enjoyin’ yerselves, fer if I’m not
mistaken, ye are th’ very gintle-
man I came out from the city t’
see—least wise, th’ agent sez yer
name is Jimmy O’Connell, an’
*tis him I’m lookin’ fer.’

‘*' *That’s me name, ma’m,’ sez
Jimmy, blushin’ furiously, ‘but
I’m at a loss t’ know fwhat ye
want wid me,’

** “Wll,’ sez she, ‘I would loike

th’ job of kapin’ house fer ve. ||

I'm a widdie, wid only wan
choild, an’ I’m sure I eould plaze
ye accordin’ t’ th’ advertisemint.’

“"Fwhat advertisemint do ye
be after manein’? sez Jimmy,
seratchin’ his head an’ in a great
puzzle,

“Did ye not put this notice in
th’ paper?’ asks th’ widdie, hand-
in’ over a cuttin’ from th’ daily.
So Jimmy read ut-wid his heart

thumpin’, not knowin’ fwhat ut
all mint; an’ he was figurin’ on makin’

a dash fer safety whin he sees three of
th’ lads peekin’ in at th’ windie, an’ he
guesses jist fwhat they bin tryin t’ do
t? him, Now Jimmy was bashful, but
he was a born fighter: an’ he raises t’
th’ emergincy in great atyle.

‘“* ‘Ohl’ sez he, ‘do ye know I purty
near fergot all about that? Shure, an’
I’m greatly in nade of a housekeeper;
an' I’m roight glad that ye came,
*Twill be no toime until Ill be here wid
me wagon, an’ if ye care t’ go home wid
me, 'tis a job ye may have. Would ye
loike t’ go out in th’ country, Billy, be-.
hinda foine team of horses?’ sez Jimmy.

** ‘May I dwive?’ sez Billy. -

** fYou bet!’ sez Jimmy, gettin’ bold- |;

i on natn

er, fer he could see that th’ widdie was
pleased. ‘Won't we have a foine toime,
ne Indie?”

“So, by gorrie, in a few minutes
Jimmy an’ th’ widdie ia sittin’ in th’
wagon, wid Billy betune them an’ driv-
in’ as big as ye plaze fer home. An’
whin Larry Melone an’ his bunch of
sports sees this, they're at a loss fwhat
t’ make of th’ proceedin’s, an they
drink half a dozen bottles of hooch dis-
cussin’ th’ circumstancea of Jimmy’s
havin’ th’ nerve t’ spake +t’ a wotnan,

‘* ‘There's a decait in ut somewhere!’
sez Larry, _ ‘Jimmy is runnin’ a bluff,
an’ tin t? wan he dumps her before he
gits home. ‘Tis contrary t’ all raison,’

“Well, two weeks go by, an’ nowan
sees ither Jimmy or th’ widdie: so th’
lads make up a party an’ goes out 1’ th’
homestead, investigatin’. They are met
at th’ gate by Jimmy, as friendly as ye
plaze, an’ they’re all invited t’ dinner.
‘Twas th’ foinest spread they had had
fer many a day. Th’ widdie waits on
th’ table in her nate print dress an’
embroidered apron: an’ there’s not wan
of thim but wishes he had such a purty
housekaper ¢’ brighten hishome, Whin
th’ male is over, Larry takes Jimmy +’
wan soide an’ sez:

“Will ye iver fergive us, Jimmy?
Jist fer th’ divil of ut, we put up a job
on ye an’ advertised fer a housekaper,
knowin’ as we did that ye was so bash-
ful an’ unaisy in th’ prisince of ladies.
So, t’ make ut all roight, I’m standin’
ready t’ take her off yer hands, a’s I'm
raley nadin’ a cook, which ye are not,
bein’ a wizard at fixin’? dp yer own
stuff t’ ate.’

“““T thank ye very much fer yer
koind intintions,’ sez Jimmy, wid a sloy

smoile, ‘Ut’s true that I’m not nadin*

a gérvant, an’ I'd be glad t’ accept yer
offer, if ut wasn’t fer one thing,’

** ‘Fwhat’s that?’ sez Larry.

“ Jist this,” sez Jimmy. “Fh’ widdie
an’ meself, bein’ so delighted wid each
other's company, took a trip t’ th’ vil-
lage on Choosday and were quietly
married. As she still appears contint
wid ber bargain, I’d advise ye, seein’
ye are lookin’ fer a cock to put an ad-
vertisemint for wan in th’ papers—ye
seem t’ be purty good at writin ‘em!’ ’’
