ST. PATRICK'S
NAMESAKE
By ARTHUR W. BREWSTER
It v. us St. I'u trick's dny la tbo morn
lug. Mrs. Mulcahey dressed her son
Put, cIuvcd years old, la his best suit
and put a bit of green ribbon 13 tbo
buttonhole of bis Jacket After mass
tbe O'ltourke children came over to
the Mulcaheys to play with little Tut.
There were Touiiuy O'ltourke, seven
years old, aud Nora, who was nine.
They, too, had greeu rlbboas oa their
breusts, and Mrs. Mulcahey, setting
tliein all down lu a row, told tbeui sto
ries of the patron sulut of Ireland? bow
he did away with the slavery of the
lower peoplo and how be rescued the
country from u false religion and es
tablished the true church. Sho also
told them of the wonderful miracles
done by St Patrick and the many peo
ple he saved from some impending
danger.
Everybody knows that St Patrick's
day falls on the 17th of March und that
the l"tb of March Is near the begin
nlng of spring In tho southern states
sometimes It Is pretty warm at that
time, and the snow, melting farther
north, swells tho creeks, and the creeks
swell the rivers, aud occasionally they
have what Is called an Inundation.
It happened that on this St Patrick's
day where these children lived they
had an tnundutlon. The O'ltourke chil
dren wout home from tho Mulcaheys
about 3 o'clock lu the afternoon and
found the water, which had not been
wlthlu half a rnllo of them in tbe morn
ing, was uow a foot deep all nround
tbe house. They thought it lots of fun to
bold up their clothes and walk lu the
water to their front door. Their mother
being out at work. Tommy made a raft
of some old boards he found Uoatlog in
tbo cellar, and then they had a tine
time pushing themselves around with
n clot lies polo.
Hut tlio water kept getting deeper
and deeper, so that before durk the
lower floor of the house was covered
with water.
The flood began to look serious to the
children, and they wished their mother
would come borne. But she had been
at work during the day at n bouse
built on lower ground tban her bome.
nnd when the waters came up she was
obliged to stay nnd help the persons
living there to movo out their effects.
So when night cniuc on sho bad not
come home, and by this tlino a bridge
over which sho must pass bad been
washed away, nnd she was prevented
from going farther.
So Nora lighted a- lamp, imd sbe nnd
Tommy climbed the stairs to the see
oud story to get nwny from tbe water.
Tommy began to be frightened, but
Nora told blm that there was no rea
son to bo scared. At any rate, If tbe.v
were In danger tho good saint tbat
Mrs. Mulcabcy bad been telling them
About In tho morning would take care
of them. But tbo water kept coming
higher and higher, nnd after awhile
they heard something crack below, and
tbe houge began to rock. Being of
wood. It had been lifted off Its founda
tion and was afloat
"Mother," said little I'nt Mulcahey
that night, "we're lucky to be on thLs
high ground."
"Yes. we aro. It's dreadful to think
of people In the valley."
"1 wonder how It Is at the O'liourkes."
"I don't know."
"I'm going out to bavo a look."
"Don't you go far," said the mother
anxiously.
I'nt weut down toward the O'Rourkcs.
but when still some distance from there
he wus stopped by the flood. In the
direction of their houso he saw a light
slightly rocking, as though it wcro In n
boat All sorts of articles? boards, fur
nlturo nnd other things tbat would
float-swero slowly drifting about. Pat
was worried about bis two Ilttlo friends
and wished for a boat lu which to go
nnd sco bow they were getting on.
But there was no boat at baud.
Presently tho light lie had seen ap
peared to be drawing nearer. Put
watched It as It enrne on. and after
awhilo he could look Into n window.
Some person or persons were Inside,
but the boy could not distinguish who
they were. Tbe bouse drifted to with
in u hundred feet of hltn, when It evl
ucnuy grounded. lor it uiun t come nuj
nearer. Then Pnt heard n child crying.
A large board had floated near Tat.
and lie resolved to go out to ttio bouse.
So ho got some small pieces of wood
for paddles and pulled out. Coming to
a second story window, ho put In bis
bend.
"Tommy," cried a girl's voice, "wo'ro
saved. Here's St. Patrick corao to
take us to land"
"I'm Pat." said the little rescuer,
"but I'm not the saint"
"Oh, Pat. Is It you," cried Nora, re
lieved, "and have you come In a boat?"
"No, I'vo come on a board."
"My gracious goodness! We can't
go away on a board."
"It's a big one. Come. Tom. Pll tnke
you flrst: then I'll come back for Nora."
i Tommy looked out of the ,_wlndow
und, seeing the flood, drew back, but bis
sister urged him, and, getting on to
the plank, Pat pulled him to dry land
Then he returned for Nora and did tbt
same for bur.
Scarcely had they left tbo bouse
: -.vhen it floated on.
"If you'ro not St Patrick," said Nora
jfter reaching terra flrma, "but only
Pat Mulcahey, 1 believe tbo saint sent
The children stayed that night at Mrs.
Mulcabey's, and when their moth?r
