When, however, Dermot grew a little older, and the idea was suggested to him, he indignantly refused to accept the offers made him. In the first place, nothing would induce him to leave his mother, and in the second, he had no ambition to become like Father O'Rourke, for whom it must be confessed, that at a very early age the boy had entertained a considerable antipathy.
"`I've an idea that I've too many fleas about me to confess to you just now, Father McGrath, and that's the truth on it. So a pleasant walk back to you. "So you'll perceive, my son, that having got all the information from Mrs O'Rourke, it's back I went to Ballyhinch, till I heard it whispered that there were doings down at the old house at Ballycleuch.
O'Rourke, and they were exceedingly angry with Miss Goold for interfering with the collection of funds for the Parliamentary party.
Give the little jokers a fair show, Misther Bilkins!" For two weeks Mr. O'Rourke conducted himself with comparative propriety; that is to say, be rendered himself useless about the place, appeared regularly at his meals, and kept sober.
Irishmen have shown a remarkable aptitude for the handling of large contracts, and in this field have been prominent John H. O'Rourke, James D. Leary, James Coleman, Oliver Byrne, and John D. Crimmins in New York; John B. McDonald, the builder of New York's subways; George Law, projector and promoter of public works, steamship and railroad builder; and John Roach, the famous ship-builder of Chester, Pa.
"`Is it Mary Sullivan, you mane? says I; `she that was married about three months back, and is so quick in child-getting, that she's all but ready to fall to pieces in this same time? "`It's exactly she, says Mrs O'Rourke; `and do you know the reason? "`Devil a bit, says I; `how should I?
In consideration of O'Rourke's long service, and in view of the fact that his desertion so near the expiration of his time was an absurdity, the Good President commuted his sentence to imprisonment for life, with loss of prize-money and back pay. Mr. O'Rourke was despatched North, and placed in Moyamensing Prison.
"And what are you afraid of, comrades?" exclaimed Father O'Rourke. "If they do, cannot I give each of you the blessed picture of Saint Patrick, and won't that, worn about your neck, guard you from the shot of the enemy? Ah, if you knew the value of those blessed amulets, you would all of you be anxious to purchase them. No soldier should ever think of going into battle without such a safeguard.
"Of course not. But that chuckleheaded roughneck O'Rourke will. Why did you kiss him? I ain't one o' the presumin' kind, but I'd like to know, Miss Donna." "I kissed him" Donna commenced to cry and hid her burning face in her hands. "I kissed him because because I thought he was dying and he was the first man that looked at me so different. And he was so brave, Mr. Hennage "
As they stood fronting each other, very silent and grim and menacing, running feet were heard ascending the stairs, and a slender boy appeared, who, perceiving M'Ginnis, panted out: "Say, Bud, O'Rourke's been pinched by d' cops! He wants ye t' skin over an' fix it up " "O'Rourke pinched?" growled M'Ginnis. "Say you, Larry, what yer givin' me?"
