<p>He did not go to see Kathleen that night—he was feeling too badly. He was wandering about in an agony of thirst, when he saw a piece of ice as large as a coconut fall from an ice wagon. He seized it in both hands, and hiding himself behind a pile of lumber sucked the ice greedily, with bloodshot eyes and trembling hands.</p>
<p>After that he kept a jug of water in the store behind some barrels under the counter, and when no one was looking he would stoop down, and holding up the jug, let the cursed stuff that was driving the light from Kathleens dark eyes trickle down his burning throat.</p>
<hr/>
<p>It was Kathleens wedding night. The parlor of the little cottage was brilliantly lit, and roses and evergreens were draped upon the walls. Cape jessamines filled the house with their delicious perfume and wreaths of white lilies were hung upon picture frames and the backs of chairs. The ceremony was to take place at 9 <abbr class="time">p.m.</abbr> , and by 7 oclock the guests had begun to assemble, for the smell of the good things <abbr>Mrs.</abbr> OMalley was cooking pervaded the whole neighborhood.</p>
<p>It was Kathleens wedding night. The parlor of the little cottage was brilliantly lit, and roses and evergreens were draped upon the walls.

<p>In the parlor, standing on a trestle decorated with violets and evergreens, stood a keg of whiskey as cold as ice, and on the center table were several beautifully decorated imported glasses, with quite a wedding-like polish upon their shining sides.</p>
<p>Kathleens heart grew lighter as the hour approached. “When Fergus is mine,” she said to herself, “I will be so loving and sweet to him that this strange melancholy will leave him. If it doesnt, I will pull his hair out.”</p>
<p>The minutes crept by, and at half past eight, Kathleen, blushing and timid-eyed, and looking like the Lorelei that charmed mens souls from their bodies on the purple heights of the Rhine, took her stand by the keg, and shyly drew for her fathers guests glass after glass of the ruby liquid, scarcely less red than the glow upon her own fair cheek.</p>
