It Came to Him on St
iahick’a Day.
By r. A. MITCIEL
•▼rrrvfeTTTTTTTTTyrvrrTrr
* Emmet Dooltiu. a youug mao living
In Comity Tippenir^, Iremud.. wn» one
day walking on tbe bank of tile river
Sulr doing a bard Job of thinking. HU
eyea were on the ground before him.
and ho Intent was he on the subject
that he did not even hear u*4dnJ chirp
ing in a tree above hts bead. Sudden
ly be waa stopped both In bis progress
and bis reverie by a girl who stood di
rectly before bim and was looking at
him with a merry face.
"Wbat are you thinking above Em
met. that you can't see a ya>*d before
you/*
A change came over the youtg mans
face at sight of the cheery mr Iden be
fore him. His own lighted up with a
momentary pleanure.
“I'm goln' |t> America, Eileen.be
said. “and. considerin' that 1 haven't a
penny to me name. I was wonderin’
how I was goln’ to get there.”
It wns now the girl's turn to look so
ber. The twinkle left her eye. and the
■mile left her Ups.
“And what are you goln' to America
for. Emmet?" she asked In a tremu
lous voice.
“To make me fortune."
“And leave your poor old father?"
“Yes."
“And your mother—what will she do
without the boy she loves so well?"
“Ye*. 1 must leave both father and
mother. I’m doin’ 'em no good here,
and once In America, where they say
there's plenty of work for all, 1 may be
able to send ’em enough to make 'em
comfortable.”
They walked to the bank of the river
and sat down on the turf under a tree.
Eileen had spoken one word for Em
mets parents and two for herself. The
two bsd grown up together, and.
though they had not been aware of it.
thU Intention of Emmet to put 3,000
miles of ocean tietween them had re
vealed It to Eileen and had glfrn a
glimmer of It to Emmet The mind of
man full of pUna for conquest does
not so resdlly settle upon the sent I
menu) features of life as the woman
whose Inactive sphere givee her more
opportunity. Eileen sat mute and de- ,
Jected.
“You don't approve of my plan?",
said Emmet “Will you tell me why?"
T4 this there was no answer.
"You're tblnktn' maybe that It's fool
ish for a man to talk shout goln' to a
foreign country wheu be has no money
to pay bis wny."
Still there was no reply Eileen sat
looking down on the gently flowing
flyer beuestb them, apparently as
much wrapped In feeling as Emmet
had t>een In thought when they met
“If H'a leavin’ father and mother
you're tblnkln' of I believe I can do
'em more service by goln' where I'll
get plenty of work and good pay thnn
starin' here, where there's little work
and poor pay."
Even this suggestion failed to elicit
any word from Eileen. Emmet was
looking down u|r>h her and saw that
her eyes were wet "Tell me. Eileen."
be said softly, "why you oppose my
goln' to America.” I
She looked up at him. and at Inst be
received his answer. “I don't want
you to go."
The few words. s|ioken almost In a
whisper, revealed to the man not only
that the girl loved him. but revealed
to him that she was as much to him
as be was to her. It was the only
pro|>osltlon ever made between them
that their lives should be linked, and.
singularly enough. It came from the
girl. But It sufficed for these two low
ly creatures, and It enabled Emmet to
si>eak more plainly—to tell her that he
would not only send his parents the
wherewithal to make them comforta
ble. but would work bard and save
every penny that be might have
enough beyond what be needed for
them to send for her, and they would
fouud a home In the new country
where—so they believed—all grew rich.
How Emmet Doolan managed to
get to America without the where
withal to pay his way concerns this
story only so far as to, show that a
man who could accompli’sh such a feat
was^iound to succeed. And Emmet did
succeed In time, though he found It up
hill work. Hud bis mind uot been fixed
on a definite purpose he would prob->
ably uot bnve had the stimulus to
work and pinch that he might accom
plish It and.attain his goal.*
Eileen was not the girl to let her
lover do all that they required. She
obtained a position as lady’s maid In
the home of a wealthy family In Dub
lin, where she received good wages,
nearly all of which she saved. Long
before Emmet was able to send his
father'and mother <any funds Eileen
was sending them small Pambunts.
which she permitted them tp think
came from their son In America. They
discovered the deception In time, but
not till Emmet himself began to remit.
Of the two lovers Eileen advanced
the more rapidly so far as savings
were concerned. . Emmet bad hts trade
to learn, and It was bard snatching at
tinea-wvwtt In majta a Hvlag for bla-

All this took tine. It waa several

was not always work to do. it wan
not till Emmet bad been In America
four years that be begun as put aside
a fund to bring Eileen to bln. This
fund be suited at the beginning of a
new year and calculated tbat he would
have enongb by the following autumn
to buy Klleen'e ticket serous the water.
Unfortunately he was laid up by ill
ness soon after be began to put aside
this fund and was Idle for two months.
Eileen received a letter early in
January telling ,her of her lover's In
tentions and another shortly afterward
that be was laid np with an Illness.
She had saved enough money to pay
her way to America and made up her
mind to go to Emmet of her own ac
cord since he was not able to send for
her. She came to this resolution In
February, but It was March before she
could make her arrangements to de
part Then, too. she must go home to
say goodby to her parents and re
ceive a blessing from Emmet’s father
and mother to take to him. However,
she got away at last anxious to reach
her lover, who was still an invalid.
Eileen's Intention was to surprise
Emmet and in none of her letters did
she give him the slightest hint of her
coming. She wrote him that she long
ed to be able to nurse him back to
health, and be replied gratefully that
If she were with him be would recover
more rapidly, but his greatest disap
pointment was that be was using up
the fund he had started with wkfch to
bring her to him In necessary expenses.
Including doctor's bills.
The last letter Emmet received from
borne before Eileen sailed was from
bis mother. She was a very pious wo-
man and bad often written her son to
be sure not to neglect bis ebureb du
ties. In this letter she told him that
she was sending him a gift that be
would receive on or about St Ps^,
rick's day. She believed that It would
make him well, for she sent with It her
blessing.
Emmet was very cniious to know
wbat this gift was his mother was
sending him and wondered bow It
would come He saw no way except
| by express, and. although his mother
had hla address, be sent a postcard to
^fcech express company's local office
that it might not be delayed for want
of bis street and number.
, On the morning of St Patrlck'a day
Emmet s gift bad not arrived. There
was a telephone In the bouse In which
he lived, and since be waa too weak
| to leave hla bed be aaked hla landlady
^ to telephone the express offices to ask
If any package bsd been received for
him. Every office declared that noth
ing had been received for him. and be
waa disappointed About 11 o'clock In'
the morning the landlady came to bis
room and said to him:
“Your St Patrick s day gift from Ire
land has arrived. Shall I bring It up7“
“Of course. Bring It op at "DCs."
“I don’t know that I'm ab*s to car
ry it"
“Is It ver^heavyY’
“I think It must weigh about 100
pounds."
“Well, well! I suppose It must stay
there till I can get np and handle It
myself."
"Maybe It can come of Itself."
Before Emmet could reply to this
apparently absurd projMisItlon the door
was flung 0|>en. and Elh'en ran to Em
met'* bed and. kneeling beside It
threw her arms about him.
“Pm the glftjfour mother sent you.
Emmet." she said "Both she and your
father hoped I would arrive on St.
Patrick's day. They said they'd be
thlnkln' of us all this blessed day a»
bein' together."
"Thauks be to God!" was all the In
valid could say, clasping his arms
about Eileen.
"And now that I’ve come you must
get well right away."
will. I'm tblnkln' I’m well
"That I
already. But how did you manage
about the money for your passage,
Eileen, seein' I had none to send you?”
“I saved It from my wages."
At that moment there came strains
of martial music from without
“It’s the parade." said Emmet “I’m
tbinklu’ I'll get up and we’lV have a
look at it" . f
“Are you strong enough?"
“Strong enough? I could carry an
ox on me back now."
Emmet, wrapped In the bedclothing,
with Eileen's assistance, managed to
get to a window, where a chair was
placed for him. The arrival of his
love, the sight of the paraders moving
by. the sound of bugle and beat of
drum, were so Inspiring that he said if
be had known how stronj? he waa be
would be marching with tkem. and
Eileen needed to hold him In his chair j
to keep him from starting up. She
managed to keep him quiet by giving
him a gr^en flag to wave to the boys
below, while with the other hand he
.held hers under the window sill, where
they could not be seen.
Under such a stimulus Emmet could
not be kept In bed. He was soon up
for good, the banns between him and
Eileen were published In the church
and they were duly married, but this
was not till Emmet bad returned to
work and they bad hired rooms, which
they entered Immediately after the
wedding.
All this occurred years ago. Emmet
Is now a con tract dr and has built many

Money loaned to relatives and

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., In
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’*
tonic She says further: “Before I began to use
Carduj, my back, and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill
I wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc, are sure signs of woman
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
