NHE good people of Badger
Mound were having a smoker
atiMr. Morrison’s residence, the
occasion being the fatest celebra-
tion of the return of Robert, the
Prodigal, to the shelter of his
father’s rooftree—flat broke, as
usual. The ladies had ‘been’ in-
vited to this event, and the even-
ing had passed pleasantly with
cigars, pipes, Junch, and tea.
Topics of local interest were be-
ing discussed, when Mrs. Farrell,
a highly-educated lady from “back
east’, lapsed into family history,
and spoke of a sister who had
made a ‘mesalliance’. —

“what th’ divil is a migal-
liance?’’ queried Pat O’Hooley
quickly, turning his head to view
the speaker. ae

“Well,” replied Mrs. ‘Farrell
thoughtfully, ‘'a misalliance, I
believe, is when two people marry
and one is of such aMiifferent or
inferiur station that unhappiness
results.”

“By gorrie! That’s ‘th’ very
word I bin huntin’ fer!’’,shouted
Pat, pounding the table with his
fist. ‘‘A misalliance, is ut? Ha,
ha! I’m thinkin’ I found the
daddy of ut!”

"4s Mr. Hooley, has tangled
the threads of uur conversation,”
said Mr. Morrison, pompously.
leaning back and fixing Pat with
his keen eyes, ‘‘perhaps; he will
explain the cause of his hilarity.”

“T will wid pleasure,’’ said the
unabashed Pat. ‘*I was off on me
vacation last suinmer: an’ wan
avenin’ I stops at a little burg on:
the edge of Nowhere, When I
goes into th’ only atein’ house in
town fer me tay an’ foive eggs,
I finds purty Maggie Callahan—
that was—waitin’ on th’ table;
an’ she’s so pale an’ sad-lookin’
I hardly knews her. Well, as
there was nowan else about, she
sits down after a while an’ we
begins talkin’. co

* "Ye've lost some of th’ rid
roses in yer chakes, Maggie,’
sez I, ‘Have ye bin il?

“ ‘Worse than ill, Pat,” sez
she, ‘l’ve bin married.”

‘Oh!’ sez I, "That’s the way
the wind blows, is ut? ’Tis happy
ye should be, I’m thinkin’.’

' Most girls are,’ sez she, ‘but
I’m not. And I niver shall be
agin, fer I’m an outcast, wid no
home or country!’ —

“How could that be, Maggie?’
sez {, gittin’ interested...

““T ean’t jist understand; ‘but
ut worked. out aisy enough,’ sez
‘she, wipin’ her eyes. - “* Tis the

““T did,’ sez she; but he had

“But surely, Maggie, ye had

“Pretty fast work, Patrick!”
