Stratton-Porter, Gene, 1863-1924

"Michael O'Halloran"

If her back is fixed, I'm going to have it done. I
don't want any one else meddling with my family. You haven't heard
anything from the Carrel man yet?"
"No," she said.
"My, I wish he'd come!" cried Mickey.
"So do I," said the nurse. "But so far Mickey, I think you are doing all
right. If she must be operated, she'd have to be put in condition for it;
and while I suspect I could beat you at your job, I am positive you are
far surpassing what she did have."
"Well I know that too," said Mickey. "But surpassing nothing at all isn't
going either far or fast. I must do something."
"If you could bring yourself to consent to giving her up----" suggested
the nurse.
"Well I can't!" interposed Mickey.
"Just for a while!" continued the nurse.
"Not for a minute! I found her! She's mine!"
"Yes, I know; but----" began the nurse.
"I know too," said Mickey. "Gimme a little time." He studied the problem
till he reached his grocery. There he thriftily lifted the cloth to peep,
and with a sigh of satisfaction pursued his way.
