| was scarcer, ana we put IN TOUR naru
| months there, but we had enough to get 20
Chicago. Well, when we got TO Chicago /
had no trouble shippin on a lake tub, and
after several voyages / came home and
found Timely sick, so we had 70 take our
ticket money and buy medicines and
things
Well, we got Timely out all right, and
felt so good at the job / guess 1 couldn't
help it, and / was with some lively lads
and had me tide up and WAS arrested.
1 sarved three days for disturbance they
called &c, and then 1 got back with the
skipper, and took the lass with me for @
voyage. 1t did her worlds of good. 1 had
me package all fast and we changed berths
with bye at Albany, and then we did a
turn or two on a canalboat, and here we
arrived. The lass was stored away in q
clean place to live and started out TO find
the address on the package. To make sure
OF remembering IL put tree on the COW
er. That was for Elm place and had
and straight marks and knew that was
10. So L got on purity well; but bless your
heart, no one ever heard of the lass mother
there. Then put in an advertisement in
paper, and a oldish woman came to see
me and said as how the lass lived with her
and died with her, and how as she never
was married TO any man, but was just liv-
in with him, and how he beat her and left
her long before she died Of the beatin he
gave her, and how her mother had an I'M
dertaker send the dead lass to Omaha.
She told me the mothers name-MrS-
Burch it were-and then Timely and /
went TO Omaha on the savtn's OF four
months work; but, bless your soul, tho
poor woman had moved to kentucky
Louisville 1t was. So after stayin there
three months and workin in the smelters
down goes Tim and to Louisville. Well,
we found Mrs. Burch, but q divil the bit
did she know of the kid here. I asked
her all kinds of questions and she says
TO me: my good man, there must be some
mistake had daughter, but she had
no children"
Back to Brooklyn.
Well, here was a pretty mess, SO as 1
was sittin a-thinkin of what to do and
said to meself: ':I1l go and get the old
lady TO open the package. Maybe there's
some token in it she'll know" So back L
goes, and when 1 asked her to open the
package the divil thing she'd have TO do
with IL.
Then had a chance to come on to New
York wild a car of horses and wild Timely
in the caboose back. / comes and landed
here agin high and dry with the price OF
board for Tine and me for a week. But 1
goes skirmishin for work, and the little
Well, one evening / were sittin wild Bob
here and Tine on me knee, thinkin hard
The lassie had no one but me to look out
for her and what was 1 to do with the
package addressed to n dead woman:
Well, says 1 TO myself, I'll open 1t. And
1 did, and, Lord bless you, man, what
was there but tin $500 bills and not the
scratch of pen. Well, sor, the divil bit
did know what TO do, and after thinkiu
IL u -
of the money, but tellin him all the rest,
and he says, well, you'll have To get the
court make you a guardian to the girl, -
meaning Timely.
Asks Pardon of the Law.
But the divil bit I'll have to do with
the court. And Tine and Bob and / are
goin to me old home in Belfast, Were me
sister lives childless. 1 can't find no one
to take Timely and Bob-that's the dog;
he's been with us ever since Dcnver-and
if I'm doing anything again the law !
asks its pardon. But the divil soul shall
have Tine now till they prove right good
and strong.
The old man looked as though he would
stick to his word TO a good extent.
The girl is n sweet faced little thing and
nestles in the old mans arms with a con-
fidence that is pretty to see. She calls him
Daddy Blink. She is about 8 years old
and Timely, Bob and Daddy Blink make
an interesting trio, even if you didn't
know their story. Il. III. WILLoUBY.
