Pat O'Shaunessy had been told by the doctor that he could live but a few hours, and his wife and assembled relatives rel-atives and friends asked him whether there was one last wish he would like to have gratified?

When at last It had played, "Say Au Revoir But Not Good-by," and had taken its own departure, de-parture, Mrs. O'Shaunessy, kneeling at her husband's bedside, asked: "Can ye die afsy now, Pat." "Yis," replied Pat. "I can die aisy now. Hell has nothing worse than that." |
