had been out Of work a few days, just
long enough to have the cold fact set
tie into him, when the good old 18th
of March came around. 1t will be I'M
derstood that Pats gayety was not
more than skin deep when he went out
with his little niece to view the cele-
bration. ,
Rejecting upon his situation. he per-
ceived that he ought to move to an
other city where his story was not
known. But how could he do 1t with
out money? Alone, yes, but not with
the children. Neither could he leave
them behind, and If he stayed how
could he take are of them with this
blight upon him?
81 WONDER" said he, not irreyerently,
"if st. Patrick himself can see any
way out of this"
He bought the little girl a five cent
bag of candy, and then they walked
uptown to save car fare. $50, you
see," said Pat, we've made a nickel
by that transaction, for it costs you
nothing to ride-op my shoulder when
you're tired"
Presently they were posted in an
eligible spot on the avenue, the child,
perched ON Pats shoulder, clasping
the remains of the bag of candy in
one hand and Pats hair or sometimes
his ear In the other, while she gazed
wide eyed at the approaching specta-
Gle.
After awhile Pat was aware that he
was the object of a peculiar scrutiny.
1t was no new thing for him to be
stared at, but this was different. A
man of t~hirty-hve or thereabout, rich
ly but rather oddly dressed, with a
heavy jacket of fine cloth, a rolling
collar, a flowing tie and a soft hat, was
studying Pat from various points Of
view. He kept his eyes half shut, yet
they had a strangely searching look,
which finally affected Pat with that
familiar nightmare sensation of being
on a crowded street in painfully insult
ficient attire.
This was getting on Pats temper
when suddenly the stranger walked
up to him and offered a card on which
were the Hdlue OtcpuSh OoIiISh uhu

written in pencil.

"Never were asked? Well, that's

Doyle was in a mighty bad way, and
he knew it. He was the victim of cir
cumstances and a quick temper. Here
are the circumstances:
About two years ago his sister and
her husband died in n month, and
there was nobody to take care of the
three orphaned children but Pat. They
came to him with nothing but the
clothes on their backs.
He rented a little tenement, and the
eldest girl, who was eleven, kept
house." Pat vas twenty-five, a metal
worker earning fair pay, but suffering
from labor's bane, unsteady employ
ment. Expenses are never laid of,
rent works every minute, but wages
and savings are subject to Interrupt
ton.
In the house where Pat and his new
ly acquired family first lived there
wa a solitary old man who was re-
puted to be a miser. One day Pat did
a little job of tinkering for this mar
for nothing. There was a stove in the
room, but no fire, though the weather
WA cold.
+, ~ suppose you have that thing to.
keep your money ill.," said Pat, touch
ing the stove with his foot.
Singularly enough, this was true.
The money was In the lower part Of
the stove, and a small fire could be
built without endangering it.
On an evening in that week the
miser was knocked senseless in his
room, and the stove was almost pulled
to pieces by a thief In q hurry, but
the hoard had been transferred to an
other hiding place as a result of Pats
Jest. So In reality Pat saved the miser's
money for him.
. The old man Survived his injuries,
and as soon as he learned what had
happened to the stove he accused Pat,
ever claiming to have recognized him.
The fact is that he had not seen his
assailant, who struck from ambush.
Pat was arrested, and, though his
three little girls and a neighbor were
with him at the undoubted time of he
assault, he spent nearly three months
in a cell, at the end of which period of
misery he was released without trial.
In every considerable company there
will always be one fool who thinks
that such an experience as this Is a
proper theme for endless gibes. Put
was not quarrelsome, but he was per-
haps a bit too ready, and, what was
worse, he always had the better of the
other fellow, whether with his tongue
or his fist. SO of course the other fel.
low had to get square, in some un-
derhand fashion, and the result would
be that Pat would lose his job. he

"Dear me! And 'ow's all our friends
in the jyleY'
"Well, the last I heard they were
wondering what kept Johnny Hacker
away. Pm blessed If 1 ever knew"
And they continued to exchange com
pliments while Pat rode up to the
eighth floor In the car.
A double surprise awaited him-frst,
to find at the top of a plain business
building the most luxurious and beau
tiful habitation hat he had ever seem;
second. to learn that the painting in
which he was to figure was of his own
patron saint and that 1t was destined
for the walls Of the cathedral.
"My conception is of st. Patrick in
early manhood" said O'Connell. And
he proceeded to speak of the projected
work in a spirit of reverence that
filed Pat with 1--WE Was 1t right for
him to pose for such a picture, he that
had been in prison on a hideous accu-
sation from which his name had never
been cleared?
"You have precisely the face and
figure that l want" continued O'Con-
nell. ITS the happy-golucky, care
free expression that will bother me
For a saint we need some recognition
Of the worlds sorrow and evil, and
that I must supply from my own inner
consciousness"
swell you don't seem to be having
much hard luck right now" remarked
Pat, glancing around the room.
"Oh, I'm rich, If you come to that"
answered O'Connell lightly, "but there
are other things than money In the
world"
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1909-03-12

EYES," said Pat. 1--WE had 'em, new,
er the money"
1t may have been O'Connell's notion
of him as IN easy going fellow who
had never taken any sorrow to a
that diverted him from telling any
part of his story. In such circum-
stances 1t would sound like a wall, an
appeal for sympathy, and Pat despised
a wilmer. Therefore he held his peace.
"It's like enough that Johnny Hack
er will tell him If he gets the chance"
thought Pat 81 must not quarrel with
that fellow. It's my little girls bread
that I'd be quarreling with. I'll not
ride in his car. I'll walk up and
down"
This was the most momentous deci-
sion that Pat ever made. He walked
down that day when O'Connell dis
missed him for luncheon. "And, by
the way" said the artist, whenever
you're up here at any mealtime It's
on me- That's only fair" So Pat fed
well that day and felt quite equal to
climbing seven flights of stairs when
he came back. But what surprised
him was that a very pretty girl chose
to climb six of those flights along with
him, and in the balance of that week
the same thing happened twice.
"Now, why does she do that?" said
Pat to himself. And he vainly cudg-
eled his brains about this mystery.
She was a girl of his own race, with
the incompatible Irish blue eyes, fine
spun dark hair, white skin with a
faint rose in each cheek and bright
red lips-a healthy girl, but not over
robust. 1t couldn't be that she regard
