Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

Killing men ain't
much! Anybody can do killing! Look at him making folks live! _Gee, he's
big!_"
"And you think he can make Lily's back better?"
"Why I _know_ he can!" said Mickey earnestly. "That wouldn't be a patching
to what he _has_ done! Soon as you say she is strong enough, I'm going to
write to him and tell him all about her, and when I get the money saved,
he'll come and fix her. Sure he will!"
"If you could get to him and tell him yourself, I really believe he
would," marvelled the nurse. "But you see it's like this, Mickey: when men
are as great as he is, just thousands of people want everything of them,
and write letters by the hundreds, and if all of them were read there
would be time for nothing else, so a secretary opens the mail and decides
what is important, and that way the big people don't always know about the
ones they would answer if they were doing it. He's been here in this very
hospital; I've seen him operate once. Next time a perfectly wonderful case
comes in, that is in his peculiar line, no doubt he will be notified and
come again.
