Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

I must meet you on yours, and prove that I'm really your
friend. Let's go where you live and have supper."
"Go where I live? You?" cried Mickey.
"Yes! You come from where you live fresh and clean each day, so can I.
Take me home with you. I want to go dreadfully, Mickey. Please?"
"Well, I ain't such a cad I'm afraid for you to see how I live," he said.
"Though you wouldn't want to come more than once; that ain't what I was
thinking about."
"Think all you like, Mickey," said Douglas. "Henry, drive to the end of
the car line where you've gone before."
On the way he stopped at a grocery, then a cafe, and at each place piles
of tempting packages were placed in the car. Mickey's brain was working
fast. One big fact was beginning to lift above all the others. His
treasure was slipping from him, and for her safety it had to be so. If he
had been struck on the head, forced to undergo an operation, and had lain
insensible for hours--Mickey could go no further with that thought. He had
to stop and proceed with the other part of his problem.
