Carriswood, you always have called me Tommy; now you say Thomas; why this state?" "I think you have won your brevet, Thomas." He looked puzzled, and she liked him the better that he should not make enough of his conduct to understand her; but, though she has called him Tommy often since, he keeps the brevet in her thoughts. In fact, Mrs.
"My word, Tommy, your mother and I can git home by ourselves," whispered honest Patrick; "we've not exceeded if the wines WERE good. I never exceeded in my life, God take the glory!" But he embraced Tommy so affectionately in parting that I confess Mrs. Carriswood had suspicions.
They made merry over the ancient ball-room, where Washington had asked a far-away ancestress of Beatoun to dance; and they decorously walked through the old church. IT happened in the church. Mrs. Carriswood was behind the others; so she saw them come in, the same little old couple of the Capitol. In the chancel, Beatoun was explaining; beside Beatoun shone a curly black head that they knew. Mrs.
Carriswood; "I don't think I shall like him any more." While she thought, she was inclining her slender neck toward him, and the gentlest interest and pleasure beamed out of her beautiful, dark eyes. "We like the West, but I have liked it for ten years; this is not my first visit," said Mrs. Carriswood. "I have reason to be glad for that, madam. I never made another speech so good."

Instead, he proposed to enter the business and to begin by learning his own trade. He was so industrious, he kept at it with such energy that his first convert was his father no, I am wrong, Mrs. Carriswood was the first; Mrs.
Six months later they did see, since it was mostly due to Fitzmaurice's efforts that the reform candidate was elected; as a consequence, Tommy became prosecuting attorney; and, to the amazement of the critics, made the best prosecuting attorney that the city had ever known. It was during the campaign that Mrs. Carriswood met him.
All the way home Nelson saw the same face of Failure between the old mare's white ears; but its grim lineaments were softened by a smile, a smile like Miss Brown's. IT was while Harry Lossing was at the High School that Mrs. Carriswood first saw Tommy Fitzmaurice. He was not much to see, a long lad of sixteen who had outgrown his jackets and was not yet grown to his ears. At this period Mrs.
No doubt they thought that their Tommy could have done as well in any case; but the splendid horseshoe was another matter! Ten years passed before Mrs. Carriswood saw her pupil again. During those years the town had increased and prospered; so had the Lossing Art Furniture Works. It was after Harry Lossing had disappointed his father.
The shrewdest ward politician in the town why, you saw him when he was a boy Tommy Fitzmaurice." Then Mrs. Carriswood remembered; she asked, amused, how was Tommy and where was he? "Tommy? Oh, he went to the State university; the old man was bound to send him, and he was more dutiful than some sons. He was graduated with honors, and came back to a large, ready-made justice court's practice.
