he repeated with slgh. I cure do
envy ye the baby.
"fe see. Miss Margaret. know.
Ing how he feels In the matter. n
would be just like askln him for
the desk OF the Sarge and can't
do that, We know Mr. Symona has
heen so foine TO Annie and me
that We said that the least We
could do was to give him this
honor.
Dear. simple minded Tim. n
there were NOR. fathers who look
ed upon their children N this light.
am thinking. little boox. we
would no, have so much talk about
better babies
Harry came around for me In his
big touring car and then We went
after Ami. and the wonderful
baby. Tim rode beside IA as proud.
~ as the finest cavalry officsr in
the kings own. I, was a Joy TO see
how every policeman OF the traffic
squad. as we passed. swept all the
other traffic aside and let us paas
ITS great day for tho Irish
remarked one OF them with
smile and a wink.
True for ye. Dennis. true for
ye." answered Tim. and T. &c had
been the man hoped you was, YOU
would have Married pretty Norsh
McFadden AZ least year ago and
ye would have been walking to
the church with a baby yerself this
day"
Tim" admonisasd Annie. but
Harry laughed and said. let him
alone. he must say something to
somebody or he'll blow up and
burst"
When we got to tho church q
made Harry read over the duties Of
godfather. so that he would un.
derstand what he was promising to
do.
Don't you worry. Msrgis.' he
whispered. I'm going to be mod
ell godfather to Tins little girl"
Il wonder II Dick will be as
proud OF our baby as Tim In Of his.
| said HE does not say much
about It lately. But Dick Is so
queer. he sometimes bursts out
with the most wonderful ideas and
sentiment that ! never suspected
him of having"
That's right. Margie. often
think Dick has more sentiment
than you
must have looked surprised. for
Harry exclaimed. Men as a rule
have more sentiment than women.
but they're usually ashamed 20
show 1t to any one. The things
that lie deepest are the things OF
which We men never speak. |
have rarely found woman who In
not sentimental. hut have saldom
discovered much sentiment In the
most OF them"
why, Harry" I exclaimed.
does becoming godfather make
you q pessim'st?'
NO" he answered. but some
way. Margie. You have way OF
making a man tell you mt times
Just what he thinks OF women"
which seems not to be very
complimentary. Harry"
Not 10 the aggre gate: indiyidu-
ally, you are charming, but IN the
mass | certainly believe that there
Is not man who II not a little
afraid OF you"
Just then the recession started
with the baby for the altar.
