O'ROurke's MARRIAGE

Over the low fire in the middle OF
the waste place that had been a ban
quoting hall crouched Hugh O'Rourke.
He was wet and chilled to the bone
with long ride through mountain
mists in the heart of winter. There
was winter in his heart, too, for his
step was broken one, and his name
prescribed, and, where his father
might have held together the breaking
fortunes of name and clan by the
sheer power of voice and face, Hugh
the younger had been borne by his
mother in time of tempest and terror,
and his face was wan and uncomely
and his eyes wild and sad.
my father did not we'll to take
woman by force" he said aloud to the
sinking fire that was all his company.
BLACK eyes and yellow hair pleased

conceived me. Who enters there, In
the name Of God?" He sprang up,
sword In hand, and then laughed at
his cutlery, for 1t was a girl child who
stood In the doorway, a little maid OF
eleven years, fair to see, white as a
snowdrop. with pale yellow hair
streaming from under her put back
hood.
Little maid, you come to an empty
house." Hugh ORourke said, but you
are welcome. You do not come
alone?"
Il come alone, Aodh," she said, an
swering his English with the Irish
tongue. 81 shall not fill your house"
Hugh stood still beside the fire.
while she came slowly down the room
toward him, shaking the raindrops
from her flowing hair as she came. A
little way from the fire she stood,
looking at him with large eyes.
why do you meet me with bare
steel?" she said. 81 looked for other
greeting from your fathers son, Hugh
O'Rourke."
Hugh cast down his sword upon the
bench he had risen from and took a
step forward to meet her. Then he
stopped, amazed for 1t was not a
child she was, but grown woman it
was that cast off hood and cloak and
came to him with eager face and
eager hands.
Hugh O'Rourke." she said again IN
the kindly Irish tongue, have you for.
gotten me so soon?"
Have ever seen you before, o fair
one?" Hugh said. Then, because her
fingers were warm in his and her eyes
dwelt on his, he ceased questioning
and had no more wonder or fear at
the fairy change than had passed upon
her in moment, making woman out
of a child.
81 am she you have desired so long"
she said, with tears and laughter in
her voice. 81 am she whose eyes you
have seen in many faces that looked
not kind on you, whose breast you
have desired to lie on so many times,
whose soul your soul has sought and
never found"
And she laid her mouth to his
mouth, and the beating heart of her
fluttered like bird against his breast.
and the fairy eyes of her darkened
and laughed and lightened into his
and set all his blood on fire.
A little while they chung together
so; then he put her from him and held
her at arms length, looking at her
with eyes that were anhungered.
IF dared only think of 1t, be.

The great difficulty in shipwrecks
near shore always has been in getting
a rope aboard to establish communica-
