J 'JAMES, MUMHOLY, A St. Patrick's Day Episode Which Developed a "Cupid." By CLARISSA MACKIE. fCopyright, 1310, by American Press Asso ciation. J ".Tamos Mullin, you may rcinnin aftei soliool," said Miss lVgnn. pointing a long ruler at the freckled faced boy. Jlmniv smiled scornfully pnd threw another paper wad at the back of hit I bitterest foe and settled down iu his fe:lt. Get your hat and coat. James. 1 am going to take you to your father. Tcrhaps you will explain to him why jou cannot obey me." When Anna Degan. reached Mr. Mul Hn's office she confronted a tall, hand onie man with black eyes much like Jhnray's own. who looked down upon the two visitors with a friendly smile. "Sit down." he said, bringing for ward a chnir. "I am James' teacher Miss Degan," ahe began primly. "James is so un ruly, Mr. Mullin. that I have brought him with me today to say that unless yonr Influence can be brought to beat upon him or that you can assure me of his future good behavior I very much fear that Mr. Broadman will expel him." Mr. Mullin's fine eyes widened with unconcealed surprise. "Well, really," be said after a little pause, "it's hard ly my place, you see, to be responsible for Jimmy's behavior." Anna arose with sparkling eyes and cheeks flushed with indignation. "Oh, Io not sav that. Mr. Mullin! How can you, a father, repudiate any responsi bility for your son's conduct? . Mr. Mullin seemed to find miusiral interest in the lovely face framed in its mist of dusky hair. lie seemed re luctant to terminate the interview by any definite answer. "Then you refuse to interfere, Mr. llullin?" Miss Degan's voice was haughty now, and her red lip curled with contempt, "As a father" she paused suggestively. Mr. Mullin seemed to awaken to new life. "As a father," he said vaguely IS HAD AXOTBZB Jf AJI WITH HIM THIS Tlltl. "aa a father He stopped abruptly and snot a fierce glanoe at Jimmy edg ing toward tbe outer door. Then he wnt on with a return of the friendly mile with whkh be had greeted her: "I llTe you will hT no further trouble with Jimmy, Miss Degan. I wUi take hiio in hand. He ehall not carue yon any more trouble. I am wry be has distressed you. It mast 1 rather a tajtk to keep these young imps In order." From his tall height he looked down s her in aoch genial good nature that 'Anna Degao found herself liking Al derman Mullin rery much indeed. "Thank yoo so much, Mr. Mullin," she said gratefully. "I was afraid to come to you at first because" She paused in embarrassment and turned to the door. Mr. Mullin's eyes twinkled. "Alder man Mullin's bark Is worse than his tite" he said dryly as he opened the outer door and accompanied her to the elevator. At the farther end of tbe corridor James, the unruly, was engaged in a silent, furious wrestling match with the office boy. At Mr. Mullin's sharp whis tle they disentangled themselves and approached. It was then that Mr. Mullai gripped one of Jimmy's generous ears and so led him, walking stiffly, into the inner .2ce and closed the door. In the long ride uptown Anna Degan tried to forget the iuficrview with Al derman Mullin. It had turned out much better than she had expected, and yet there had seemed an Instant v. hen he was about to refuse to take any part in the discipline of bis own and only son. She bad been surprised to find the father of James such a young and amiable looking man. She had beard such stories of his fiery, dominant nature she bad hesitated to tiring a complaint before him. She had feared for the boy Jimmy bad always rpoken In tones of almost ter ror of his father and yet She pave up the problem and tried to tiiink of tbe pleasure that awaited her that evening. It was the 17th of March Sk Patrick's day and she was poln; to the big ball of the Loyal Em erald Knights. Mr. Mullin had worn a sprig of shamrock in tbe lapel of bis we'l fitilng coat. Anna blushed redly and remembered with a certain fierce nktation the day that Jimmy's moth-. f ' ' er, "Mrs. Alderman Mullin." had visit ed the Fchooi. The recollection of her rubicund face ami good natured and voluble flow of conversation quite drove awav the picture of Jimmy's good look Ins father. After that she thought of nothing save the ball The orchestra was playing "The Kerry Dance" when Anna entered the ballroom with her sister and brother-in-law, and her little foot beat time? to the swinging measure with antici pated delight. Her gown was a triumph of tender love for the mother country and affec tion aud loyalty to the new republic that had opened Its anus to her peo- Anna had planned it weeks be- fore, and her skillful fingers had made it green silk gauze embroidered with little golden harps, folds of w hite chif fon inside the low cut bodice, and in side the chiffon against her snowy neck three folds of chiffon red, white, and blue. The entrancing music of old Irish melodies, the polished floor crowded with brilliant gowns and the handsome uniforms of the Emerald Knights, the eager spectators In the gallery over head, all formed a beautiful -picture that Anna Degan neper forgot. She danced again and again with old friends and new ones whom her brother-in-law, Larry Fan, brought up to her. As she sat resting, her face aglow with exercise aud pleasure. Larry approached with a large red faced man. black of brow and with scowling black eyes. His smile was pleasant, however, aud seemed to in dicate that the scowl was but a bad habit. Anna's heart seemed to stand still when Larry spoke. "Anna, let me in troduce Mr. Mullin Mr. Alderman Mullin of the Seventh ward." Then Larry disappeared, and Anna found herself permitting Mr. Mhlliu to scrawl his name against the nest vacant space on her dance card, which proved to be the one she was sitting out. and so presently. she was whirling about in the stiff embrace of Mr. Al derman Mullin, who growled a few sentences above her head, stepped on her pretty green shod toes without apologizing and finally left her breath lessly sitting on a divan in a corner far distant from her little groiip of friends. She was glad of the respite to think over the startling situation. If this gentleman was Alderman Mullin, the father of James, the unruly, who, then, was the gentleman who had Imper sonated the alderman and made him self responsible for the behavior of James? Across the room a couple revolved stiffly In the girations of a waltz; Anna recognized the burly form of the now familiar Mr. Mullin and also that of the lady she had known as Jimmy's mother. As for the other man her face grew hot with indignation, and she looked lovelier than ever when Larry found her out. He had another man with him this time. - "Mr. Alderman Mullin's cousin, sis another Mullin and a gentle knight a good friend of my own! George, my sister. Miss Degan!" Larry left the two facing each other in the quiet corner, the man, resplen dent in green and white satin and gold, looking tenderly down on the young girl In green and gold. Miss Degan looked him squarely in the face and with contemptuous shrug turned away, but he caught her little gloved hand in his own with a swift gesture. "Walt, please," he said gravely, and Miss Degan waited fot his emanation. It came after a little while, haltingly, as from a man who is not accustomed to explain his actions: "When a little lad Is afraid of his father, Miss Degan, he naturally turns to some man whom he knows Is fond of him and will stand by him in trou ble. Jimmy confessed to me this after noon that be was afraid to take you to his father his father would thrash him, and that is all the good it would do! So the lad brought yoo to me and trusted me to understand the situation and to stand by him. I didn't get on to his little game till after you went, though I understood from his looks he was in trouble, so I let It go, hoping to see yon again and explain matters to you. I had a talk with Jimmy, and he's going to be good. In fact. I've told him I shall call at the school every week and find out what his deport ment is. I hope you do not mind. Miss Degan." Anna listened to the long speech with downcast eyes and trembling lips. She was glad that she bad spared Jim my a whipping from his stern father and that this kind hearted cousin had masqueraded before her as Jimmy's parent. He had a good face, and, after all, Jimmy would improve and room No. 12 might be a credit to the grade after all! She smiled gratefully up at Mr. Gecrge Mullin and dashed a tear from the corner of her eye. "I am very glad you did not disillusion me. I was so tired and cross just then I might have taken Jimmy down to his father's of fice, wherever It is." "He'll be a good boy after this," promised Jimmy's big cousin as they glided info a waltz. Sweetly, alluring ly, ca-.iie the strains of "Kathleen Ma vourneon." and they did not speak again unMl it was over. After a little while Mullin asked softly: "Aud I may come to the school once a week aud look at Jimmy's report. Miss Degan?" Anna's fingers touched the little golden harps on ber pretty fan. and they seemed to give forth strange, sweet music happy music that fell In cadence with his deep, melodious voice: "Yes, come," she said demurely. "I think It is a very good Idea." Jimmy Mullin never could under stand wby, after that, his cousin,. (Oorge Mnllln, alwaya called him "Cu- W ..-r J What Er ojli O 1 iiti.
