PAGE EIGHT THE ASHEVILLE GAZETTE-NEWS Flanagan's Boy Story of St. Patrick's Day By CLARISSA MACKIE agan and hi niece sat down to supper. All day long Dennis bad listened for the postman's ring at the doorbell, but in rain. There came a newspaper from his old home in County Autrim, Ireland, but beyond that there was nothing. Always before they had re ceived some word from Larry In his faraway home. and. though the delay mix tit be attributed to tba mails and i the heavy snowstorms reported in the S northwest- Deunis was heavy hearted. "May the blessed saint whose day i it is protect him wherever he Is!'' sigli ! ed Dennis as he took a cup of tea from , Molly's hand. "I'm cmrci w will hour frnm Tjirrv in I tho niAfniiii, " eii.j1 Inllv Imnofllllv 'Look, Uncle Dennis, at the yweet pot of shamrock t brought home." Dennis looked at her keenly. "Molly, lass, and do you not pine for the real emeralds, the jewels that Larry promised?" he asked. Molly laughed scornfully. Her cheeks flushed rosily, and her blue eyes shone with love for the absent lover-cousin. "Uncle Dennis, you make me asham ed! Don't you believe I'd rather see a lad who has two green eyes eyes the color of that bunch of shamrock than all the jewels in the world? Those emerald eyes of Larry Flana gan's are the only jewels I would wear against my heart!" ahe hutfg her head in sudden sweet shame. Dennis' wrinkled hand was stretched across the table toward her. "Then, Molly, lass." he whispered, "inaybe it'll come all right, for again "Larry will never he coming home," sighed Dennis Flanagan as he looked out into the March twilight. "It's rive yours since lie went away to seek his fortune. Molly, and do you never won der what he's found?" Molly Delaney looked at her uncle throughunshed tears. "I am always wondering that. Uncle Dennis," she answered. "Light the lamp. Molly, and read his latest letter." requested Deunis. When the lamp was lighted it dis closed a comfortable sittlug room, clean and cozy and warm. It showed Dennis in his big rocking chair, his helpless rheumatic feet propped on a tool. Lovely Molly Delaney. with her misty black hair and her Irish blue eyes, sat down at the table and open ed the worn envelope that contained Larry Flanagan's letter and read: Dear Father Although it's Ave years licart that my returning would be soon. 1 I dreamed the dream of I,arry coming fear that I must wait a little longer be fore seeing your dear face again and feel ing the hearty olasp of your hand. Gold is an alluring jade. She has led me a pretty chase in this bleak, cold country, and now she is only just In sight. Please God, when next I write it will be to tell you that I have struck it rich, that I am coming home to buy a grand house for you and Molly, and we will all be happy together. Remember that 1 promised Mol ly that when I came home I'd bring her a bunch of emerald shamrocks, the real jewels, and now they are just within my reach. A boy from Hav.enville is due here tomorrow, and with his coming I expect to hear direct news from you both. With love from your dutiful son, LARRY. Molly lifted her eyes and looked across the table at Dennis Flanagan. "Uncle Dennis, I'm afraid that Larry will never come home," she whispered. The old man lifted a tremulous hand. "Hush, child: I've a feeling that Lurry will come back to us. I had a dream last night. I thought there came a knocking at the door and I opened it to see our Larry. Instead of wearing tine clothes and a silk hat. poor Larry was in rags. And Instead of pinning a bunch 'of emerald sham rocks on your bosom, where they'd be out of place on that flimsy cotton gown, my dear, our poor Larry car ried a little pot of the living green plant from old Ireland. And then I woke up." Molly was sobbing softly. "I don't care bow poor he is. Uncle Dennis, if he will only come home to us." "No more do I, ehildie," whimpered Dennis. "Don't sorrow. Uncle Dennis." com forted the girl, slipping to her knees hesfde him. "Lurry will soon come home. If this last quest for gold should prove useless. I can see him turning about ami coming back to us. Between the lines of his letter I could Vend that he was hungering for the Ones he hai1 'eft behind.'' "God bless you, daughter," smiled Deunis more cheerfully. The Alaska twilight had fallen swift ly like n dull gray blanket tossed over the frozen world: then a ghostly moon appeared over the eastern mountains aud revealed bleak expanses of glisten ing snow and the dark masses of pine trees. Under the slmuWler of the hill crouch ed a little cabin, and before tlie bias ing fire on Its hearth two young men were fitting. I lie "boy from Ilazeu home, poor and needy instead of rich and" "Who wanted him rich, Uncle Den nis?" cried the girl hotly. "We were satisfied, you and . We pleaded with him not to go away and leave us. But there; perhaps it was for the best, but there is an ache behind it all!" "What is that?" Dennis lifted his head. "The music of the band. The knights o' green are parading. Shall we go down to the corner of the street and watch them, Uncle Dennis?" "Yes. 'Twasn't so many years ago that I marched with 'em meself on St. Patrick's day. and Larry 1 hoped by this time he would be back among them, brave In a green and gold uni form. Help me on with my overcoat dearie." So the old man. leaning on the arm of tlio slender, upright girl, went down to the corner and with swelling heart watched the passing of the gallant knights who marched in honor of the good St. Patrick. As the tail of the procession passed out of sight Dennis Flanagan and his niece turned toward home. Molly knew that the old man's heart was far away in Alaska with the be loved son. who was vainly seeking the will o' the wisp, gold. Tonight gold and the luxuries if, brings seemed a tiny thing to the girl with the aching heart ' Again they were seated about the glowing little stove in the sitting room when there came a soft knocking at the door to the porch. Molly crossed the room and opened the door only to fall back against the lintel white lipped ai.d .taring. "Uncle Dennis, Uncle Dennis, I'm seeing visions!" she sobbed, pointing to the snow covered porch. Dennis hobbled to her side and saw the form of a man huddled on the door mat. "Poor soul!" he muttered, turning the face toward the light, and then he fell back, with a startled cry. "Heavens, Molly, it's our own Larry! 'Tis my dream come true!" he moaned. Molly recovered her courage when she realized that she was actually needed to allay suffering. She rubbed the cold face with snow and poured a strong stimulant through the white lips. After awhile Larry opened his 'TIZ" FIXES TIRED.

Representative Mondell of Wyoming, said that expe rience with suffrage in his state Prompted him to urge its extension. The women of Wyoming, he said, voted In quite as large a proportion as men. Mrs. Anlonette Funk of the National Women's Suffrage association declared there was not a state where the ma jority of legislatures elected w ithin the past twenty years had been responsive to the people's will. She suggested that by congressional action, "you remove the barrier of legislatures so that the people, upon a direct petition may vote on this ques tion. "The greatest obstacle in the way of securing to women the right to vote," she declared, "Is in the provis ions of those constitutions which make so difficult the option of constitutional amendments. There is injustice In these provisions. To nullify them by a federal amendment would not be an interference with state's rights. -It simply would be giving the people the right to make such laws as they desire In respect to voting." GWALTNEY IS APPOINTED TO SUCCEED MPT. RICE Commissioners Name new Con vict Boss Bridge Contract Is Awarded. Several important matters were de cided by the board of county commis sioners at the session yesterday. J. A. Gwaltney was appointed to succeed Captain J. W. Hice as the head of convict camp No. 2, Captain Itlce having resigned yesterday morn ing. Several men made application for the place. Peter Kernan, a local contractor, was awarded the contract to construct a concrete bridge over Bee Tree, just above Swannanoa. The new bridge will be 45 feet long, 10 feet wide and eight feet high. Work will begin on it just as soon as the weather permits and it is thought that the job will be completed In about three weeks. The decision to build this bridge of con crete was reached by the board after much discussion as to the merits of steel and concrete. It was finally de cided that as the concrete bridge did not have to be repaired or painted It would be the cheapest in the end. The matter of appointing the 60 odd road supervisors for the county was taken up and all the old men were re appointed with the exception of two. Hen DcBruhl waa appointed In place of O. L Hunnicutt and J. M. Wright was appointed to fill the place held by J. E.
