TAKE OFF THE CURSE SWEET LADY"
Gods creatures, however low they had
fallen, some germ Of good remained.
I did not believe that anything so utter
ly vile as you could live. Go from this
home, which you have dishonored by
your presence" She raised her open
hand and turned away her head. May

'No, no." cried Callan in terror, edo

Again Lawrence's voice arose: ''AIy
friends, you know what my life has
been among you, but before that was
a life less favored and far less happy.
1t is of that older time 1 would speak
to you, and then you will understand"
Callan sprang from his crouching po-
sition and in one bound was upon the
balcony beside O'Hara.
Let a man who knows all about that
ou1d life speak of it for him." he cried
to the throng below. "Our young fr'ind
here is nervous and upset tonight be-
cause of an unexpected visit from a
companion Of thin ould days. They
were days when he hadn't always
shoes to his feet and sometimes scarce
a whole pair of trousers on his legs,
and it's because of these days Of pow
erty and distress being so strongly re-
called to him by this foolish ould fr'ind
that he thinks tonight he's not fit for
this high station. But let one who
knew him then tell you that he has
nothing to blush for except that same
poverty and the ignorance which went
with it, and both of thin he's long
since put behind him. There's no foiner
young man in the worruld tonight than
Lawrence O'Haraw
A loud outburst of cheers greeted
this speech. Lawrence, who had stood
by, too astonished to interrupt, glanced
backward through the window and,
seeing Helen on the point of slipping
from the chair into which she had
sunk, sprang to her aid.
Callan had caught the fancy of the
crowd and for the next few minutes
kept them roaring with laughter as he
told anecdotes of his boyhood in Cross
molina.
Back in the room he knelt at Helen's
feet, his tattered cap in his hands.
Take off the curse, sweet lady," he
begged, take off the curse and niver
more be saddened by the sight of Miles
Callan."
Helen looked at the covering wretch,
a beautiful smile upon her pale lips.
God forbid that 1 should curse YOU"
she said. Il shall pray that he may
forgive you, as I do"
Callan bent his head low before her
and, after one adorlng look, rushed
from the room.
"Stay, Miles, stay; do not go yet"
cried Lawrence.
He would have followed Callan, but
Helen threw her arms about him.
The people were calling loudly for
him.
Your place is with them" she said,
urging her husband toward the win
dow. Leave him to Cod"

got no further. His appearance was
greeted with prolonged cheering.
Helen, half fainting, leaned heavily
upon the table and now looked with
dilated eyes upon the dark heavy fig

Callan had risen from his chair and
stood regarding the beautiful young
woman with shamefaced enbarrass-
ment.

again, this time by loud cries of indig-

The young man at the table

Overspread his handsome face as he

He put his arm about his wife's Shout

them for a space.
1t was a great day in the life Of Law
renee O'Hara. He had received, a few
hours earlier, the news that he had
been nominated by his party for con-
gress. This nomination was, in his
congress district, equivalent to an cleo
tion. He was % years old and had
been in America ten years. The first
two were years of hard toll, but after
that fortune had smiled upon him con-
tinuously. He entered politics and had
been successful from the start. He
had married early beautiful girl who
brought him wealth beyond that con-
tanned in a heart full Of love and admi-
ration, and O'Hara was regarded as a
man who had arrived
While waiting the coming Of dele
cation of his fellow townsmen with
their congratulations he had been
thinking of the past. Back beyond
those first years in America his mind
had gone to the days when he wander
ed a barefoot, ragged lad over the turf
of County Mayo. Those were days Of
poverty, which was often bitter, and
Ignorance which now seemed to Law
renee almost Incredible. There was
one dark period Of three months-his
dast in Ireland-which he never could
recall without burning cheeks and
which came to his memory now only
at rare intervals. The shame of it
might have ruined his life, but instead
of that 1t had driven him out Of the
night Of ignorance into the sunlight
of knowledge and endeayor.
1t was upon this dark period that his
mind was dwelling when his wife star
tied him by her call.
Just now she moved her lips nearer
his ear and murmured softly: Claw
renee, how proud 1 am Of you and how
happy 1 ami Are we not perfectly
happy now, dearest"
Hush, hush, Helen" said O'Hara,

The bell rang and a voice in the

from the room. A few moments later

Lawrence took a step forward and
