LIQUOR OR COFFEE—
WHICH PAYS BEST P
BY M.4RGAR°ET VA) DZGBIFT.
All Mr. Finnigan's numerous friends
called to congratulate hi -la when he had
effected the purchase of the Harmony
Saloon, and removed from the small
corner grocery which had been the
corner -stone of his fortune into the
palatial briek building, with pillars on
either side of thedoor, and stained-glass
windows, where he proposed henceforth -
to dispense to his customers " pure
liquors only 1" The two conspicuous
red -lettered signs which shone in the
plate -glass window—
A FRIICD OYSTER WITH EVERY DRINK
FREE LUNCH FROM 10 TO 12 To -DAY!
—may have had something to do with
the suddenly increased number of Mr.
Finnigan's friends, but the congratula-
tions were none the less sincere.
" Sure, old woman, its fast we're
going up the ladder, and we but six
years in this biissid free country 1" said
the proprietor to his faithful wife as he
for the first time lit the gorgeous central
chandelier and side brackets, which,
like the false beacon -fires of the wreck-
ers of old times, were to lure so many
victims to their destruction. Whin we
began wid the career -stall, and the
cakes and oranges, and the stone bottles
of spruce beer and mead, it's little we
dreamed of this same 1" and he looked
proudly around the cheerful room, with
its glowing stove, gaudily painted waits,
and profusion of gilt remolding.
Bat there was no `responsive light on
Mrs. Finnigan's face as she replied
"Ida all very well for uz, Jimmy, but,
do what ' I will, I cau't rid myself of
them: two faces—the woman's and the
bit of a girl's—that looked in at the door
to see was John Ryan within, the last
night the tittle shop was open ; and it's
not with my good will we made the
change. We'd a nate little grocery
. business, and we'd a' made it nater, wid
a place like this in a good neighborhood,
and our sowls: would—"
" Thin I've heard quite enough of our
sowls of late," interrupted Mr. Finnigan,
angrily ; " and it's_tryi_ng my sowl you
are wid your sinceless prating. How
often must I tell you that I've promised
the prasste to keep none but good, decent
liquors; and never to sell to man or boy
that's had enough; let alone too much.?
- So now you may go up to the foine room
I've furnishedfor your own oomfort—
emall thanks to me and when I see
your face again, I hope it won't blacken
the air about it as it's_doing now."
Mrs. Finnigan was wise enough to go
to the " foine room " without, further
parley admitting to herself aa she
went that it was not in nature for
Jimmy to be suddenly put in possession
of those rows of shining bottleswithout
thrying " the contents of two or three.
The new business prospered beyond
Mr. Finnigan's wildest hopes. He had
wisely chosen a stand at the junction of
two streets which were chiefly occupied
by day -laborers, and those who were
not caught as they went to workin the
morning—and often those who were, as
wells -were pretty sure to fall into the
net as they came home at night.
Thefried oyster -with every drink, and
free lunch from ten to twelve, had been
found so profitable the first day that
the sign wasdnever removed. The fried
oyster, under Mr. Finnigau's careful
supervision, was always plentifully salt-
ed, and the free lunch consisted goner-
ally of dry crackers and pungent cheese,
varied once or twice a week by a red.
herring or a small plate of highly sea-
soned stew for each guest. Mrs. Finni-
gan having ence or twice ventured to
omit the red pepper from the latter
dish, on the plea that it compelled her
to " snaze the head off her intirely,"
was no longer entrusted with the sea-
sonin,g her husband, who, in his own
peculiar fashion, still loved her, pre-
ferred attending to this branch :. of the
business himself to engaging in a daily
altercation with her. `
Before the opening of the Harmony
Saloon the neighborhood had been a
remarkably quiet and peaceful one .;
but now street fights, domestic quarrels,
and noisy mirth began to attract the
attention of thepolice to that particular
part of the town. Mr. Finnigan found it
rather difficult to. adhere to his resolu-
tion not to sell liquor to any one who
was "full." Several times he yielded
through absolute fear of the drunken
threats hurled at him, and several more
times he professed to have been deceiv-
ed by the entirely sober Manner of his
-customer. Some of • the more decent
people in the neighborhood made vigor-
ous efforts for the indictment of the
Harmony Saloon as a. nuisance,: but
they had neither money nor influence ;
itwas near the time of an important
city election, and offence wonid have
ben given, not only to Mr, Finnigan,
but to a large number of voters who
were members of his profession ; so
nothing was doi'e, even when, after a
side door to the saloon had been nn -
ostentatiously cut, it was- more than
rumored that a quiet . drink on. Sunday
morning was among the attractions of
the Harmony Saloon.
One woman, confident that she had a
clear case, went to enter a complaint,
when the following dialogue ensued
Yon say that Mr. James Finnigan
sells liquor on Sunday ; can you prove
it?"
" That can I, foine ! I stud at the
open door, the side door it was, and I
saw Pat McGinnis standin' forninst the
bar—he's me own sister's son, and I'd
know him from a dozen Iike him—and
I saw Jimmy Finnigan, bad 'cess till
him 1. lift down the brandy, bottle from.
the shelf, and pour the length of me
longist finger in a glass, and I saw Pat
raise it till his mouth, and empty it at
the -one swallow, and he telling his
mother—that's me own sister, you'll
understand, and a widdv in the bargain
—that he hadn't a c re in his pocket
but the night before, and her husband
dead, and the childer frettin' wid the
hunger and cold !"
.E Will Patrick McGinnis swear that
what you saw him drink was brandy ?"
Dade, thin, he won't, if you'd bate
him black and blue—the more fool he."
" And are you:. prepared to swear that,
to your own personal knowledge, what
you saw Pat McGinnis drinking was.
brandy V'
" Me personal knowledge, is it ?
swear to all I've jilt said, twice over,
and what more wud anybody want?"
He can't be convicted on that ; for
all you know it might have been cold
tea or cold coffee. You'll have to bring
proof to sustain your charge before it's
worth anything."
" Thin I'm to understand," with a
scornful toss of her head,"that all that's
left me to do is to wal
drink of a and y
