"When the Devil Was Sick" Two old gobs had been at odds ever since the day of their enlistment; They were due for discharge within a few days when one of them was taken seriously ill and the doctors broke the news to him that he had small chance to live. He summoned his old-time enemy to his bedside. "Mae," he said plaintively, "they tells me I'm goin' to kick over. If I do, will yer fergit our fights and sort of let bygones be bygones?" "That'll be a'right," said Mac, in .great embarrassment. "And, Mac" here the old gob's voice grew stronger "if 1 ever get well and ye remind me I ever said that, I'll knock that fat wooden block off yer shoulders."
