Il would not be going II II wasn't
for Nora" Patsy said with toss Of
her head. She stood before the bu.
reau In the little front bedroom of the
fiat, pinning band of black velvet
around her hair as a final touch OF
artistry.
And the family admired and mar
veled likewise. Not a single St Pat.
rick's day dance had Patsy gone TO
In three years. Some said II was on
account of Terry O'More.
Terry had been born two years pre-
vicus to the time when Patsy herself
had arrived. The mothers of both
had hung over friendly iron ratings
and chatted back and forth Of sum
mer evening, tending their wee ones
and later the two had gone to the
same public school, and had danced
around street corners to the same
tunes.
But as he grew older Terry devel
oped a rowing disposition. At seven.
teen he shipped on a coast steamer,
and piled up and down as cabin
boy
60 on with you, Terry" she told
him. 'T'll not be having you jaunt
this way and that II you've mind to
keep along steady with me. You can
go your own way
"And I'd not be marrying a girl
that wouldn't be proud OF my seeing
the world" said Terry valiantly.
But Patsy had felt hurt and sick at
heart. She was twenty now, and her
neighborhood wondered why Terry
and she didn't marry and settle down,
So there had come st. Patrick .
day, and he was to have taken her to
a dance that evening. During the
whole day she had waited for him to
show up. Then, when evening came
and It was too late, she had laughed
and gone to the dance with big Danny
Sullivan.
Patsy never forgot Terry's face
when he came into the hall and saw
her in Danny's arms, foxtrotting. The
next day he enlisted for three years
In the army, and went away without
a word to her, his best girl for five
years.
She had heard of him from his sis.
ter. He was sent to the Philippines
Sometimes Molly told her they had re.
ceived a box OF things from him.
He never sent anything to her.
Once, at a Halloween party, he
had found silver ring in his slice oil
cake. and had slipped 1t on her fin
ger behind the hall door as they were
all going home. Patsy got 1t out and
put 1t on.
But tonight 1t really was for Nora's
sake that she was going up to the
dance Nora was only seventeen and
wanted to go, and she wouldn't be
letting girl like that trip off alone
and who was the man fit to escort
Nora?
They were little late. but still In
time for the grand march Someone
On the reception committee caught
Nora away to introduce her. and Patsy
found herself handed over to swift
ly-procured partner
Here you are, Terry. my boy" said
genial old Donovan. the floor chair
man. Take your places now quick
over there"
The hand that Terry took was cold
It seemed year before the march was
| over and he had her by herself.
