My Friend Pat j
A Story of Colorado and |j
the Emerald Isle
When X was prospecting In the gold
fields of Colorado and had made what
1 believed to be a strike I put some
gold dust In one pocket for expenses
and specimens for assay In the other,
and started on foot down the mountain
for Denver. On the way 1 fell ln'tkith
a young Irishman, very ragged, with
a bundle tied up In a red bandanna
handkerchief and a short pipe in his
mouth, at which he was pulling lus
tily.
‘‘Good mornln' to you,” he said cheer
ily.
“Good morning, Pat," I replied.
"How did you know my name was
Pat?” he asked.
“By your brogue."
“Is it very broad?”
“No; but broad enough to give you
away as a resident of the Emerald
Isle.”
“Northern Irish, Is it?”
“I suppose so. What are you doing
out in this country?”
“Oh, I came to dig for a fortune.”
“And having made it you’re going
back home to enjoy it?"
“What made you think I’ve made my
fortune?”
"Oh, by your eminently respectable
appearance.”
“Well, now, that’s lucky!”
“Why so?”
“Because Pm sadly In need of a loan,
and since I've made a fortune it’ll be
safe for you to favor me.”
I laughed at the Irish wit, and the
way the young man bad caught me in
a trap. I was feeling somewhat set
up, for I believed I had struck a for
tune myself. Besides we gold seekers
In those days were prone to help one
another.
“How much do you want?”
“Enough to take me to Ireland—a
matter of $100.”
"1 can’t do that much for you, but I
might spare $50 to get you to New
York. Couldn’t you make up the rest
In some other way?"
"Half a loaf Is better than none."
We went on to Denver together, and
I was greatly amused by his humor
and an original way he had of viewing
things. I sold my mine for enough to
make me Independent for life and got
a few hundred dollars for a first pay
ment. By this time I had become so
friendly with my traveling compan
ion that I advanced him the whole
sum needed to take him to Ireland. 1
believed be bad made the failure near
ly all gold hunters make, and since I
had been one of the few fortunate ones
I was ready to give him a tiny bit from
my bonanza.
“Where'll I send It?" he asked.
“You needn't send It at all. As soon
as 1 get that deal closed out I’m going
to Europe, and I’ll see you there.”
“Well, you’ll find me on the estate of
the Earl of Ballygarach. At any rate,
inquire there for me.”
“A tenant of his?”
“No.”
"\vtiara your place merer
He hesitated, and It seemed to me
be was trying to Invent a reply, so I
gave him a shake of the band and
said goodby. I felt sure I was making
a loan that would never be repaid,
but I’d had to Invent stories myself
about my bole in the ground In order
to obtain means to keep on digging,
and I wouldn't have thanked any pne
to question me too closely. As I turn
ed away from him I saw a peculiar
look in his eye.
“Why do you look at me in that way,
Pat?” I asked. 1 had always called
him Pat, though his name was John
Curran.
“I can’t make out why you’re lending
me this money. Unless you give me
your address, that I may return It, or
your promise to Bee me in Ireland 1 re
fuse to take it”
“All right; you have my promise to
see you in Ireland.”
“Don’t you go back on me by not com
ing," be added, and we parted.
The sale of my hole in the ground
was conditional, and some months
elasped before the purchasers had sat
isfied themselves that the property was
what I claimed for It Then, after all,
I was obliged to take a good deal of
the stock In the company that was
formed in part payment but this didn’t
trouble me, for 1 had great confidence
in the value of the mine. Indeed, my
stock eventually became many times
more valuable than the cash payment
It was a year after the sale before I
found myself independent to do what
I liked, and I set off on a tour around
the world. My course was eastward
and took In England as my first land
ing place. I had always a desire to
visit Ireland and, after seeing England
to my heart’s content, crossed the
Irish channel. But I regretted feeling
obliged to hunt up my debtor. I didn't
need the money I had loaned him, and
I didn’t believe he would be In condi
tion to pay It To tell the truth, 1 had
no Idea I would find him on the estate
of the Earl of Ballygarach or that 1
would find him at all. This opinion
was not based on the belief that he was
dishonest, for he had an expression
that Invited confidence, but on the fact
that necessity knows no law, and his
necessities had probably forced him to
Invent all be bad told me.
After visiting the principal cities In
I southern Ireland I worked my way
northward and one day brought up at
I ,11 , |«—»n '«» n MTWi,—ra—SBC
a little town near the estate of the Sift
of Ballygarach. I rode ont to the place
In an Irish two wheeled cart and, stop
ping at the manor honse, asked the
butler if he could tell me of a man on
the estate of the name of John Curran,
who about a year before had returned
to Ireland from America. The servant
gave me a blank stare, then led ms
into a reception room, invited me to be
seated and went away.
Presently be returned and said that
the earl was not at home and he was
the only one who could give me the In
formation. Milady desired that I
should make myself at home—In the li
brary If I liked—till his lordship’s re
turn. Since I was not averse to nosing
among books I assented.
An hour passed In this way, when
the butler entered and said that lunch
eon would soon be ready and asked If
I would like to go to my room. Though
1 didn’t like such trespassing, I was not
averse to being entertained by an earl
and his lady, so 1 followed the man
upstairs. What was my astonishment
on entering the room assigned me to
see my baggage there.
“How did this come here?” I asked.
“Milady sent to the Inn for It, sir."
I brushed up a bit and went down
stairs again. The butler announced
luncheon and led me Into the dining
room. 1 was received there by a very
pretty young woman, who said to me:
“My husband will not return for an
hour or two, and, since he does not Ilka
to have any one who calls during his
absence turned away. I have taken it
upon myself to make you at home. He
la very fond of Americans and would
never forgive me If I let one of them
go away without some entertainment."
1 protested that I bad only called to
learn of the whereabouts of one John
Curran, whom I had met in Colorado,
and the lady replied that the earl would
give me any Information In his posses
sion on his return. She entertained me
delightfully at luncheon, doing every
thing in her power to make me feel
that I was welcome. Her voice was
sweet and sounded still sweeter from
the rich brogue of an Irish lady. She
expressed great Interest in America
and kept me telling her of the country,
the people and our customs. Just as
we were about to rise from the table
there was a sound of wheels without,
the front door was thrown open, and a
man stalked into the dining room.
Great heavens, he was Patl
The moment he saw me he advanced
and, grasping my hand, gave it a vig
orous shake, saying:
“You've come at last, have you? I
vowed that if you didn’t come soon I’d
go back to America to find you." Then,
turning to the lady, he added:
“This la the gentleman I've been
looking for.”
“I supposed he was when he asked
for John Curran, who had coshe from
America a year ago."
“Well, I’m John Curran meself,” add
ed the host, “and I was Bari of Bally
garach when we were trudging togeth
er in Colorado, though I didn’t know
It When I went out there were three
lives between me and the title, but two
of them had died, and I had heard that
the third, my uncle, was very ill. I
was trying to get home, but I didn’t
know what I should find here I might
find an estate waiting for me. and I
might not be able to repay your loan;
but, by Jove, old man, that was a
queer thing for you to do—letting me
have that money to get home with."
I said something about hlA honest
countenance, but my conscience was
not clear, and I didn’t help the matter
much. So I made light of the whole
matter, mentioning the spirit that ani
mated men who lived in new countries,
their disposition to help one another,
their respect for the softer sex apd
their harshness with anything unman
ly. Lady Ballygarach was much inter
ested in this account of a people she
had never mingled with, though I fan
cied that it was because her husband
had been one of them.
The earl then asked where I had
put up, saying that he must send at
once for my luggage, but his wife In
formed him that she had sent for it,
whereupon he commended her highly
and declared she was a trump.
The earl kept me a guest several
weeks, during which he entertained
me royally. He told me that he was
a younger son In another branch of the
family; that his father wished him to
enter the army, but, having no for
tune and being In love with the girl
who was now his wife, he had prefer
red to go to America to seek his,for
tune. While away his father and his
older brother had died, and his unde,
the earl, a bachelor, had fallen 111. The
death of his father and brother had
left him with no one to call upon for
funds, and. as be had before told me.
his unde would not have helped him If
he had asked for help.
I confess the change In him was so
great from when I had known him In
the gold diggings that It seemed
strange to address him by his title. I
was struggling to get It out and had
advanced as far as Lord Ballygar—
when he broke In upon me:
“Never mind that Call me Pat I
became so far Americanized while In
your country that these flourishes on a
man’s name sound redlculous.”
“Do you object to your title. Lady
Ballygarach?" I asked.
“Not a bit of It” her husband re
plied for her. “What woman would?”
During the rest of my visit I called
the earl Pat
I became so fond of Pat that I
found It difficult to tear myself away
from him. He had had Just the expe
rience to make a man of him.
When I left him It was with the
promise that he would return my visit
In the land where we had both been
poor. He did so, and my success as a
miner enabled me to return his hoapi
