A Sequel to “Brides Will Be Brides” By Lucille It's Not the Cost of a Car That Counts. - HE McGonigle family had had a day at the beach. They Van Slyke Gonigle, “ye don't need to apologise; I understand how it ia. Ye hain't to blame for what your man does no more nor I was in the days when pa could get hi; ds on hard stuft. were sleepy and tired and! ¢p, happy, all seven of them wedged into a fiivver so old and tered that it was nothing less than a miracle that it could hold together and still hold them all. ' Pa McGonigle drove. But as the night was hot, he had thrust his col- lar and coat and vest beneath the seat. His white shirtsleeves, rolled above his red flannels, and the spark from his pipe gleamed through the darkness, but otherwise there was little light from the McGonigle's car, for its side lamps were rather dim oil lam Ma McGonigle sat beside Pa with the baby in her arms. The baby and Ma were content with the whole world, the pair of them ding drow- sily. And in the back seat, content- edly absorbing lollypol and corn fritters, were jammed Aggie and Tom ; and Vi'let and Little Himself, who was so exactly like Pa IcGonigle that nobody ever called him anything else. Their fliv was chugging around the longest way home because Ma Mc- Gonigle had a predilection for stop-; ping at a spot she called “Th' Ind of Nowheres.” a rotting old bulkhead at the foot of a one-way street. “For it makes ye glad ve've a good home with plinty of folk around to stop for a whiles and see how lonely the world would be with nobody in it,” was her feminine reason. But this particular night, as they reached h’ Ind of Nowheres,” they had to slow down, because there was a big car crosswise of the road. And a smaller car that blocked the end of road. Pa blew their horn. coople of lallygaggers most kel he grunted. So Aggie and Tom and Vi'let and Little Himself 'set up a derisive song ilof “Cut ut out. Have ah 'eart, Git a bench, In the Park!" A trembling volce answered their jeers. “Please walt! Oh, please walit for me!" and the McGonigle family, straining their eyes through the gloom, made out a little figure run- ning toward their car, with & lurch- ing figure following. In fact, Pa Mc- Gonigle saw the lurching figure first. He waited not upon the order of his going. He slammed off his engine and charged upon the lurching figure. | “Ye big stiff!” he panted as the figure eluded him. *“Ye big druni, whadda ya mean scaring a lady?” For the trembling little figure had reached the running board of tna!g McGonigle fliv and was holding on it, laughing and crying. She was small, she was clad in the simplest of frocks, and her bronze curly head was hatless, but somehow the entire McGonigle family had sensed at once: that she was what Pa McGonigl called her, “a lady." And the “big_stiff” who had been annoying her, drunk as he was, had already sensed that big Pa McGonigle was every inch @ man, for the “big stiff” had clambered aboard the car that was crosswise of the road, and stepped on his gas and disappeared. The little person on the running board shook her head when pa criad, lady, while we You couldn’t get him!" she gasped.
