" When Jimmy had given vent to his feelings and his fears, Dennis said, " I will tell you a short story. You know I came over here twenty-five years ago, and left Mary and her baby to come when I could earn money to send for them. Well, I was sick on the ship, and when I landed in New York I was sick, and had no money and no place to go to. I wandered in the streets too sick to work or to eat, and after a while I think I lost my senses, for I awoke one morning and could n't imagine where I was.... After a while a woman spoke to me and said, ' are you better ? you will get well and go and see Mary. ' I said, 'where is Mary?' She replied, 'I do n't know. You have talked about her, and I guess she is away in Ire- land. ' She brought some food a. Id I ate a very little. The room was dark, so I had not seen her face ; when she brought a light I saw that she was as black as a boot. I should have been frightened, but her voice was sweet, and she spoke so tenderly that I did not mind her looks. " The woman who saved my life was called Margaret.
