Reddy Mahohey's Romanes By Grace Mac Gowan Cooke Reddy Ma honey's face was a lugu brlous Bight to look up; and that countenance was made for smiles, not ror woe. He dusted the pews with nn Inept, clumsy hand. "vou've been quarreling with you wife again," said Father Mac Nell' accusing voice from the vestry door. "Nawthln' much, your reverence," said Ready sulkily. What did a boy like that know about women, even If nu was a priest? The reverend father came down the aisle. He might know little about women but he knew much about dust, and his caretaker's brush flourished with renewed energy. A thin, other worldly looking young fellow, was ! other MacNell, with a pair of soft, misty, dark eyes, and a voice to wile a bird from a bush a voice that did not seem to be made entirely for the reciting of Latin services. "Mnhoney," he began In those win. nlng tones which Reddy had learned could convey as sound a reproof ua the bishops rasping bass, "Reddy, )our wife Is a good woman. Your Jealousy Is a disgrace to you and an Insult to her. The whole parish Is talking of It." The priest had been gone for a few moments. Mahoney was behind the one small confessional which the church contained, rubbing some brasses about a picture, when he heard u light footfall. Peering cau tiously round the corner of the ward robe like structure, he saw bis wife Kate approaching. He would have gone on sullenly with his work; but the sight of Kate's beaming face choked him with Jealous rage. For what was she grinning like that?She tossed her graceful head and set her hat In place with a gesture so fa rt Illar to the watching man that he choked again with something that was not all rage. For whom had she put on her gay clothes? Not to charm the eye of her lawful spouse, of that Reddy was sure; for she well knew that he could not be off duty until late that night. Well, she had come to confess perhaps she would tell the priest what It was that she had 'ieen doing which had set a bar rier between her and her husband for six months. The girl had stepped lightly Inside the curtains of the confessional. "I"m waiting, my daughter," ha murmured In a voice sufficiently un like his own. Katy evidently recognized that It was no; the voice of Father MacNell. "I have committed sin," she mur mured, running '.hrough the opening phrases of her confession, and trying to catch a glimpse of her confessor. For the life of him the Injured hus band could not get together the ques tions which were to satisfy his burn ing curiosity. HU mind was in a whirl Suddenly he became aware that the girl had dropped her formal speech, and was addressing Father MacNell evidently with the belief that she had been mistaken in supposing that the voice was not his. "Oh, your reverence," Bhe cried. In tones bubbling with Joy, "I've seen the man again and It's all right! Now, if you'll ausolve me for telling my husband an untruth, and say what pennance I should do for deceiving him, why, I'll be the happiest woman In the town lis night." "Decelvin" your husband?" gasped Reddy. "Another man what other man?" "Yes, your reverence," Katy rip pled on sweetly. "I felt my heart In my bosom like lead to deceive poor Reddy; but I couldn't tell him of the r.ian now conld I?" "Whrt man, you shameless wom an," came from behind the little wicket "Oh, your reverence, you know the man that says my poor Reddy took something that didn't belong to him a ring to give me when I was his sweetheart Maybe my poor boy did that same, being tempted. But could I be the one t" tell him that 'twas brought to my knowledge? I've paid the last cent on It this day, your reverence; and no-: Reddy need nev er know. The man has been comln' to the houri regular to get the money; and I was that 'frald Reddy would see him and ask questions; and twice I've had to lie to him, Fath er MacNell don't forget that. Give me a pennance I'm that happy C'at I need a pennance to keep my feet on the earth." The soft voice ceased. The little man crouched behind the window. Oh, how we-1 he remembered the day! He wanted the ring for Katy that was soon t- be his wife. He hadnt r.ulte enough to buy It. They owed hlra that much for fines that they hnd put on him, a porter in the bl : department stcre. His eyes roved like a creature at bay, seeklnj some exit from this tor. ture chamber, wuen abruptly a black curta'n de. leaded before them. It was he skirt of Father MacNeil's cassock; and Father i.IaCNell's quiet voip said to the wondering girl outside- "The priest to whom you were con fessing Is suddenly ill, my daughter." And he swept the little man, shaking and mutely convulsed, behind bis own tall figure.' Father MacNeil's reproofs always bit o the bone, and now he was white hot with righteous wrath But de .itt the enorm'ty o his present of-te-.a-i, Reddy was far past dread of his priest, or even of his Bishop. 8om Hhlng of this came home to the reverend father as he looked tt that blanched, convulsed (ace.
