Ono day the Inquisitive man stopped Mulcahy near the river. "How long have you hauled water for this town, Mulcahy?" he asked. "Nine years, cor." "And how many loads do you tako a day, Mulcahy?" "From tin to fifteen, aor." "From ton to fifteen loads a day, eh? Quite a pretty figure that would make in course of time. How much water, at this rate, do you suppose you have hauled, Mulcahy?" The man on the water-cart jerked his thumb backward In the direction of tho river and replied:. "All the wathor you don't see there, now, sor." From Harper's. |
