Pat O'flooley on

-

“I slapes in warf mornin’ last
wake, an’ whin I gits up, I goes
over t’ th’ widdie O’ Hara’s lunch
counter fer me tay. an’ toast,”’
said Pat O’Hooley to Donovan as
they sat and exchanged the gos-
sip of the day.

‘Mrs. O’Hara is not a widow,
as you very well know,’’ correct-
ed Donovan.

‘Sheisn’t—an’ she is,”’ return-
ed Pat. ‘‘Ut’s aceordin’ t’ th’
interpretation ye put on th’ word
‘widdie’. If havin’ a man hang-
in’ around who ought t’ be sup-
portin’ his woife an’ childers, an’
who’ wont—an’ niver did—~an’
isn’t worth powder an’ lead t’
kill him, makes a woman not a
widdie, thin I haven’t changed
me moind in th’ laste; which is,
that Kitty O’Hara is a widdie—
an’ worse.”’

“Have it your own way!” ex-
claimed Donovan with resigna-
tion. ‘You always do.”’

‘““Whin I’m roight—yes,”’ per-
sisted Pat. ‘‘Well, as I was say-
in’, I goes over t’ th’ widdie’s fer
me tay an’ toast, an’ ’twas aisy
t? see that she was purty blue
an’ discouraged.

‘* “Top o” th’ mornin’ t’ ve, Mrs.
OQ’ Hara,’ sez. “Tis a lovely day.’

** ‘Sure an’ I belave ut is,’ sez
she, takin’ a peek out of th’
windie, ‘but I’m in no humor t’
enjoy ut.’

‘* ‘Whust!’ sez I, ‘Fwhat’s ate-
in’ ye now? Wid good health,
good looks, an’ a bunch of foine
kiddies, ’tis happy ye should be,
Mrs. ‘0’ Hara—there’s many who
envy ye yer blessin’s,’

‘Oh, go on wid yer blarney,
Pat!’ sez she. ‘Fwhat ye say
may be true—barrin’ me good
looks—but I have me troubles;
an’ they’re not aisily forgotten.’

* Jist fer instance, m’am,
name wan of yer troubles,’ sez I.

‘“‘T could mintion a dozen, if I
wanted t’ complain,’ sez she,
‘but I’m no whiner. There’s no-
thing gained by ut. Fwhat’s
hurtin’ me most is that I’ve lost
me good frind, Mrs. McSheen—
she lives jist over there, in th’
little whoite house on th’ corner,
Fer years we've neighbored back
an’ forth loike sisters, an’ now
she’s changed intoirely. She
‘passes me on th’ strate an’ niver
looks my way at all. Shure, an’
I can’t guess fwhy she has her
back up loikeaseartcat. Iniver
laid a straw in her way in all me
loife. “Lis some wan’s long
tongue, J’m thinkin’,’

** “Well, ma’m,’ sez I, ‘that’s

too bad fer ye both. Ut’s more
than loikely a ‘misunderstandin’
which can be cleared up wance.
ye pit t’gither an’ talk ut over,
‘Fwhy don’t ye pay her a yisit
an’ foind out?’
*'* ‘Nothin’ doin’!’ sez she. ‘I
can’t go t’ her house now, Pat, I
was there last; an’ uts’ agin th’,
convintions fer ime t’ go” agin
until she returns mnecall,’

““Arrah!’ sez I. = ‘Go on. wid

ver foolishness! Don’t talk t’ ma

This is Pat

of such convintions.’

““‘V'll give ye t’? understand,
Mr, O'Hooley, that ye can’t set
th’ conventions aside wid a wave
of yer hand,’ sez she. ‘Uts not
done in perlite society.’

“**vlaybe not,” sez I, ‘an’ so-
ciety is th’ worse fer it. Listen,
Mrs. O’Hara. there’s two koinds
of convintions—good an’ bad, an’
ve can take yer choice which wan
ye live by. Wan is th’skoind
that ye feel loike kickin’ yersilf
ivery toime ye submit t’ ut’s dic-
tates—an’ whin ui’s all over ye’re
sorry ye didn’t, That’s th’ koind
ye are bowin’ down t’ now. Th’
ither wan is no convintion at all,
but jist harse sinse an’ koindness,
Do ve still loike Mrs. McSheen?’

** ‘Of course I do; I’d give any-

thing t’ have her confidince agin,’ }

sez she,

_ “* ‘Spoken loike th’ lady ye are,
Mrs. O’Hara!’ sez I. ‘Take Pat’s
advoice. ‘While I’m atein’ me
Junch, do ye put on yer bonnet
an’ run over; ut’ll be good fer
both of ye. Go on now!’

** “Do ye suppose she’d spake
t? me, Pat?’ sez she.

“Of course she will,’ sez I,
‘an’ be glad of th’ chanee, or I’m
no QOirishman. Run along, an’
foight th’ divil wid his own stick!’

“Pll do ut,’ sez she, all at
wance makin’ up her moind.
Thin she grabs a shaw, pulls ut
over her head, an’ slips out th’
back way. So, by gorrie, I takes

me toime atein’, an’ afterwards
1 has a long smoke before Mra, 0’ Hara

comes back. An’ ye should have seen
th’ ehange! Her eyes are shoinin’
loike stara; an’ she’s laughin’ an’ eryin’
all at th’ same toime. ,

‘* “Oh, Pat,’ sez she, ‘ye was entoirly
roight! Mrs. McSheen was atein’ her

heart out wid sorrow because she
thought I didn’t loike: her any more.
Old Mother Cahill has bin lyin’ agin—
bad cess to her homely mug! An’ by
me own stubborn spirit I was helpin’
her t’ apite both of us! But ut’s all
fixed up foine an’ dandy now. An’ we
are niver goin’ t’ pay any more attin-
tion t’ th’ convintions—we're decided
on that! We're goin’ t’ run in on each:
