for the pleasure OF being near her than
from any desire TO appear in public. but
as this was essentially thinking role,
he was ieit with good deal of time on
his hands. and Mrs. Quinn. seeing how
disconsolate he looked. finally took com.
passion upon the poor fellow
! She dragged him of for a long walk,
and by the time sne brought him home
again his features were one broad grin
Mrs. Quinn and Baby Brannigan were
also much together In those days
BY Miss Cadogan's express stipulation
baby was not to witness his sisters de-
ont. Miss Cadogan did not approve OF
/ theatrical performances in any shape or
/ form, and as Baby was the prospective
heir, II was thought best TO regulate his
conduct accordingly
On the morning Of the day OF the per-
/ formance Mrs Quinn did most ex-
/ traordinary thing She volunteered to
water the garden of her own accord
Just in front Of the barn. to which Mrs
/ Brannigan SO strenuously objected
there was quite little pile Of hay. Mrs
Quinn was observed to examine il very
carefully and then to gauge with her
eye the distance from the hayloft down
to the ground Then she turned the
hose on the hay until it was thoroughly
soaked. and betook herself to the house
again. There were piles of hay in the
+ rear OF the barn and also on each side.
+ Mrs. Quinn didn't bother about soaking
them, however; the pile before the hay,
loft absorbed her entire attention
That night, when Tilda was all ready
to start for the theater. Mrs. Quinn and
Miss Cadogan wished her every joy
well, hope you'll be a thumpin sue

and anyhow. even IL il did let up,
couldn't go now. for I've promised TO
take Baby up in the hayloft and let him
play in the hay. Tell Barney. II you see
him, to come up for supper. What wild
these rehearsals and the fire engine prac-
tices, aint laid eyes on him in tree
days"
Then turning to Baby. she exclaimed
Now, come along. darlint. let's go up
in the hayloft"

Of "Sewanaka standing room was at a
