81 wanst knowed a la-ad that was
more or less riscued firm q Wathry
grave be tailor be tn name iv Mug
gins He took tn la-ad by tn arms
an walked ashore with him. Well,
tn agnized parents, not wantin' to
appear stingy befure tn neighbors,
prisinted MugginS with a goold watch
an Muggins become a hayro. TIL
la-adl didn't think much iv it. He'd
have done tn same fr MugginS. But
afther awhile he found that Muggins
was chained to him fl life. AS boy,
he was spoken iv as tn fellow that
had his life saved by Muggins tn
tailor. AS he grew older he was still
Muggins' boy. Muggins wasn't much
to look at, bein' a little bow-legged
man, but afther he become hayro,
he acted tn part Me young frind
cuddent get away firm him. If he
was Dlayin' baseball ia tn corner lot,
Muggins was lann' over tn fence with
an indulgent smile. Whin he gra-
jated with honors at tn Brothers
School, Muggins set in tn front seat
with q look iv fond attintiOn on his
face Whin tn Brother Supeeryor
handed out tn first prize, he remarked
that 1T gave him great pleasure to re-
ward tn ability an larnin iv this
young man in tn prisince iv tn hayro
to whom he owed his life. 1t was tn
same in after years. He became q
lawyer an Muggins niver missed a
day in coort. TIL lawyer FIR tn oppo-
sition always managed to appeal to
his finer feelin's in tn Drisince iv tn
man to whom he owed his life. If it
was q suit over a pair iv pants, me
frind always lost it. He niver wud
take case again a tailor FIR tn jury
wud always vote against him. In
pollyticks he thried to succeed but
Muggins hung on to him. Whin tn
chairman iv tn meetin' arose, he in
varyably began: Ladies an gintle-
man, before inthrojoocin' tn speaker
iv tn avenin', / want to presint to We
tn man to whom he owes his life an
who is here on tn platform tonight
Misther Alphonso Muggins. Me frind
was always supposed to put his hand
r. iof fn n a G
an with falthrin' step escort him to
tn front Wan night he tor me he
give Muggins a kick. He said he
cudden't help it. TIL temptation was
too sthrong FIR human endurance.
Muggins didn't mind it. He niver
minded anything. He was a hayro.
"Afther awhile he took to dhrink.
Habichool hayroes always do, an
whin in dhrink he was melancholy or
,quarrelsome, as dhrunk men an
hayroes sometimes ar-re. Clancy wud
