They were Irish and their brogue was so rich and rolling that evidently they were not long from the Emerald Isle. She was short and stout, with a smiling, good-natured face. He was also short of stature, but of slender build, and his face was adorned by a fringe of whisker which left his upper lip and chin bare. "Hist, Mary Ann," he said to her, have yez thini tickets?"

I'll go home an' git thim tickets." He rushed off, regardless of the people with whom he collided, while the woman sighed Stud stood patiently waiting.

In about fifteen minutes the man returned. He was mad, and puff-td like a porpoise. Between his gasps lie told ber he had hunted high and low, upsetting the house in his attempt. "Don't git ixcited, Diunis," said she, holding out two tickets, "O'i found thim in me bag." "Well, Oi'll be blessed," was all Dennis could say.
