because you coat seen TO be takin'
much interest In your surroundin's
here" said Pat loftily. He delivered
q smart smack on the crupper with
his stubby whip. and parsed his lips
for the companionship to be derived
from whistling.
Il suppose you know why I went to
Europe" said Booth. laying his hand
affectionately on the mans arm.
Sure I do" said Pat, forgetting to
whistle. And wss 1t bad luck you
had. SORT"
"A temporary case of II, I'm afraid"
Well" said the Irishman. looking
up at his employer with the most pro-
found encouragement in his wink, IF
it's amy help to you. sof. I'll say that
I've never found bad luck 70 be any
thing but timporary. And. believe me,
I've had plirty of It. Mary was dom
near three years maxim up her mind
to say yis TO ne"
And since then you've had no bad
luck :" said Booth, with . smile.
"Plinty of it, begob, but I've had
some one besides meself to blame for
it, There's q lot in that, Mr.. Bran
don. Whin q man marries, he simply
divides his luck into two parts, good
and bad. and IL he's like most men he
puts the bulk av the bad luck on his
wife and kapes to himself all he can
av the good for q rainy day. That's
what makes him q strong man and
able to meet trouble when 1t comes.
The beauty nv the arrangement Is that
bad luck is only temporary and a WON
an enjoys talking about It, while good
luck is wid us ninetenths OF the time,
whether we know II or not, and We
don't have to talk about it."
This was fine philosophy. but Booth
discerned the underlying motive.
Have you been quafreline."
Il have not" said Pat wrathfully
But I won't say as much for Mary.
The point Nv me argument Ii that
have all the good luck in havin' mar
RED her, and she claims to have had
an the bad luck In marryin' me. Still.
as I said before. tis but timporary
