Maybe -you don't know Marie and Ref. I'll introduce them: Please meet Marie, my -very little daughter, and Ref, my very big reflex camera. - -These two are my helpers. Marie helps by being a little girl who knows -what other little girls like and by telling me; and Ref helps by -snapping pictures of everything interesting that Marie and I see on our -travels. I couldn't get along without them. - -Several years have gone by since we started our work together and Marie -is a bigger girl--but Ref hasn't changed one bit. Ref hasn't changed any -more than my interest in writing these books for you. And I hope that -_you_ hope that I'll never change, because I want to keep on writing -until we'll have no more countries to write about--unless, of course, -some one discovers a new country. - -Even if a new country isn't discovered, we'll find foreign children to -talk about--maybe the children in Mars! Who knows? Nobody. Not even -Marie--and Marie usually knows about most things. That's the reason why, -you see, though I sign myself - - [Illustration: Madeleine Brandeis] - -I am really only - - Marie's Mother. - - - - -DEDICATION - - - To every child of every land, - Little sister, little brother, - As in this book your lives unfold, - May you learn to love each other. - - - - -CONTENTS - - - PART I - - Chapter I - Isn't It a Great Wonder? 13 - - Chapter II - Shauneen and the Leprechaun 32 - - Chapter III - Come Away 48 - - Chapter IV - The Strange Land 62 - - Chapter V - The Frightened Giant 84 - - - PART II - - Chapter VI - John 98 - - Chapter VII - The Girl Fairy 111 - - Chapter VIII - Over the Green Land 129 - - Chapter IX - Wandering 152 - - Chapter X - Because He Is Irish 176 - - - - -WILL YOU WALK INTO MY STORY--? - - -Just because I think it may interest you to know it:--In these -photographs Kit Wain posed for Shaun O'Day. Kit is a real Irish boy, but -he did not have the adventures that Shaun had in the story. He has had -many other adventures, however, because Kit is a young actor. Dawn O'Day -was played by Mary Jo Desmond. Mary Jo is just a little schoolgirl like -you. She looked so much like Dawn O'Day in the story that I asked her to -be Dawn for me. And because she is Irish and loves make-believe, she did -it. - -When Shaun grew older it was Maurice Murphy who posed. Maurice has had a -wonderful life for a young boy. He has played on the stage and in motion -pictures and also on the piano! For he is a very talented young -musician. Maybe you remember seeing him act in the film called "Beau -Geste." - -Little saucy Marjorie was posed by a little saucy miss who is known as -Carmencita Johnson. I should say "well known" because Carmencita, though -only five, is already a picture star. She is a very interesting young -person, and if I began to tell you all about her and her family of -sisters and brothers it would take up all the book and leave no room for -the story. - -John O'Day, Shaun's son, is portrayed by another little film artist. His -name is Gordon Thorpe. Gordon is only six. But he has appeared in more -than sixty motion pictures. Do you remember the little Prince in Douglas -Fairbanks' "The Iron Mask?" That was Gordon. And in "The Bridge of San -Luis Rey?" You surely recognized him. - -Dick Good was the fighting boy who didn't believe that Marjorie was a -fairy. And of course I need not tell you that the scenes of cities and -buildings and places in Ireland were all played by those cities and -buildings and places _themselves_. - -That is, when I was in Ireland I asked them to pose for me. And they did -it willingly the way the children did. They posed very well, in fact. -Very quietly. - -Only the rain in Ireland is not willing. The rain does not want -photographers to catch the beauty of the country. The rain tries to -spoil everything for the poor photographers. But we forgive him because -he makes Ireland so green. - -Here are the names of the little children who helped me so nicely by -coming to Marjorie's birthday party and posing as her guests: Alice and -Howard Bucquet, Caroline Kuhns, Barbara and Patrick Ford, Betty and -Stephen Kline, Marie Madeleine Brandeis and Dietrich Haupt. - -The only grown-up in the story, John's girl-fairy, is Miss Alice White. -Miss White is such a busy star that I think I should thank her for -stopping long enough from her work to be John's girl-fairy in the pages -of this book. And I think I should thank all the rest of these good -people, even if they are only little people, for they too, are busy. And -it is sometimes hard to tear oneself away from the work of the world and -walk into a fairy tale. - -But these in the photographs did it. And that is what I am going to ask -you, young readers, to do now. Come along! See if you can! - -MADELINE BRANDEIS. - - [Illustration: UPPER LAKE KILLARNEY] - - - - -Shaun O'Day of Ireland - - -PART I - -CHAPTER I - -ISN'T IT A GREAT WONDER? - - - The wee word "why" - Is a fairy gift - To little babes at birth, - It opens wide the wonder world To every child on earth. - -Isn't it a great wonder--the fair green Emerald Isle? - -And do you know why Ireland is so green? It is because the rain fairies -love Ireland. They have made it the greenest spot on earth. They do be -sprinkling it forever with the drops of their fairy rain. - -Ireland is divided into four provinces. They are Ulster, Leinster, -Munster, and Connaught. - -In Connaught is the County of Galway. In the County of Galway is the -District of Connemara. - -In Connemara there is a village that looks out upon a lake. And in that -village are wee houses covered with thatched roofs--roofs of straw. - - [Illustration: WEE HOUSES COVERED WITH STRAW ROOFS] - -Inside one of these houses there lived a boy, Shaun O'Day. But I am not -going to tell you now about Shaun O'Day, nor of the strange thing that -befell him. Not now. - -First, I shall tell you about his country. I shall tell you about his -country because all children love to know the why and the wonder of -things. And great is the wonder of Ireland. - -This is the tale of the Province of Connaught and how it got its name. -Long ago the western districts of Ireland were named after the person -who took possession of them. - -At this time there reigned a powerful king whose name was Conn. He was -good as well as great, and dearly loved by his people. - -His Queen was equally beloved. Her name was Eda. Their son was a blessed -and good boy. They named him Conn-eda, after both his parents. - -As Conn-eda grew to manhood, his strength and goodness grew with his -years. All was harmony in the west until a great sorrow fell upon the -land. The Queen died. The country mourned for a year and a day. - -And then the King married again. But the new Queen was not good and kind -as Queen Eda had been. She was wicked and cruel. - - [Illustration: CONNEMARA PEOPLE ENGAGED IN SPINNING] - -She had several children of her own, and was jealous of Conn-eda, who -was the favorite of the King and the darling of the people. - -She clearly foresaw that Conn-eda would be King after the death of his -father. She wanted her own son to become King some day. - -And so she planned to destroy Conn-eda or have him exiled from the -country. With envy and hatred in her heart, the wicked Queen went to -consult a witch. - -The witch gave the Queen a chess-board and told her to invite Prince -Conn-eda to play a game of chess. - -The witch said to the Queen, "The loser of this game shall be obliged -to obey the orders of the winner. And, you, great Queen, shall win the -game! Having won the game, you are to send the Prince Conn-eda upon a -dangerous journey. He must seek and bring to you, within a year and a -day, three golden apples, a magical black steed, and the Hound of -Supernatural Powers. These things are so well guarded that the Prince -will surely lose his life in attempting to seek them." - -The Queen was delighted and hastened to invite Conn-eda to play a game -of chess. He agreed to the conditions of the game, and it came about as -the witch had promised. The wicked Queen won. - - [Illustration: SUBSTANTIAL HOMES IN A WOODLAND SETTING ON THE KILLARNEY - RIVER] - -But so pleased was she with her triumph and so greedy for further -power that she challenged the Prince to another game. To the Queen's -astonishment and horror, Conn-eda won this second game. - -"Since you won the first game," said Conn-eda, "you shall be first to -command your reward." - -The Queen said, "My reward shall be the three golden apples, the Black -Steed, and the Hound of Supernatural Powers. These you must seek and -bring to me within the space of a year and a day. If you fail you must -leave your country forever or lose your life." - -Conn-eda answered, "Then my order to you is that you sit upon the -topmost spire of yonder tower until I return. If I do not return, you -may come down at the end of the year and a day." - -Conn-eda was troubled and went to consult with a great Druid. The poor -Prince had no idea how he was to find these magical treasures. - -The great Druid gave the Prince a little, shaggy pony. He bade Conn-eda -obey this little horse. - -After further instructions from the great Druid, Conn-eda mounted the -shaggy steed and set out upon his journey. - -His adventures were many. Through them all, the little shaggy horse -helped and guided him. The animal had the power of speech. - -After days of hardship and danger, Conn-eda reached the walls of a -great city. Two huge towers stood on either side of the gate and sent -forth flames of fire. The pony bade Conn-eda alight from his back and -take from his ear a small knife. - -"With this knife," said the steed, "kill me! Then wrap yourself in my -skin, and you shall be able to pass the gates of the city unharmed. All -I ask is that you return to my body and pour a drop of this powerful -ointment upon my poor flesh." - -With these words the pony gave Conn-eda a bottle of magic fluid. - -The Prince cried, "Never, never! I would rather die than kill you, my -good friend!" - -But at last the pony persuaded Conn-eda, and the Prince stabbed his -noble steed. His heart bled, and he was in despair at what he had done. - -But he suddenly thought of the bottle of fluid which the steed had given -him. Following the animal's advice, the Prince poured the ointment over -the horse's body. - -No sooner had he done this than the horse's shape changed to the form of -a handsome young man. - -"Behold!" cried the noble youth. "You have freed me from a wicked -enchantment. I am brother of the King of the city. It was a wicked Druid -who kept me so long in the form of a shaggy steed. Now, through your -brave act, you have broken the spell, and I shall help you in your -quest." - - [Illustration: LOCH DERG AT KILLALOE, EMPTYING INTO THE RIVER SHANNON] - -The handsome Prince asked his brother, the King, for those treasures -which Conn-eda sought. Gladly did the King give to him the apples from -his magic tree, the Black Steed, and the precious hound. With these -three treasures did Conn-eda return to his country. - -The wicked Queen, who was sitting upon the top of her tower, saw -Conn-eda approaching. She saw him riding upon a prancing steed and -leading a curious animal by a silver chain. - -The Queen knew that he was returning in triumph. In despair she cast -herself from the tower. - -That was her end. And that was also the end of trouble in the kingdom of -the west. For at the death of the good King Conn, his son Conn-eda was -made king. Conn-eda ruled wisely, and it was after his name that the -province of Connaught was called. - -In Connaught is the County of Galway. Sheep are raised in Galway. And it -has a rugged, wild seacoast. - -It was on this coast that the wreck of part of the Spanish Armada took -place in 1588. For this reason there is still to be found, in this part -of Ireland, people of Spanish descent. And the fairies are said to love -the County of Galway. In Galway County is the District of Connemara. - -Once upon a time there dwelt a powerful family named Conmac. In Irish -"Connemara" means "Seaside of the Conmacs," for it was this wild and -rocky shore that was used by these ancient royal people as their -seaside. - -Connemara is called the Congested District of Ireland. The word -"congested" means "overcrowded." But in this case it does not mean that -the country is overcrowded with people. For the people are few here in -this wild land. - -But the barren soil does not yield enough for those few people. And -there is much poverty in Connemara. - -But there also are lakes of great beauty, and valuable marble, known -as Connemara marble. And there are fairies! Well do the fairies love -Connemara! - - [Illustration: IRISH FARMER AND HIS SON PATCHING THE ROOF OF THEIR OLD - STONE HOUSE] - -In Connemara there is a village, and in that village lived a boy named -Shaun O'Day. - -Do you know the why of that name Shaun? It is the same as the name John. -But it is an Irish name. It is spelled "Sean" in Irish and pronounced -"hwan." - -It is Jean in French, and Giovanni in Italian, and Hans in German, and -Ivan in Russian. It is Juan in Spanish, Jock in Scotch, and Johnny in -American. - -It is a Hebrew word and has a very beautiful meaning: "Gift of God." Do -you wonder that so many boys all over the world are given the name -John? - -Here we have the why and the wonder of the land of Shaun O'Day. So now -we shall hear of the strange things that befell this lad, who lived in -the Emerald Isle. - - - - -CHAPTER II - -SHAUNEEN AND THE LEPRECHAUN - - - "Can you not catch the tiny clamor, - Busy click of an elfin hammer, - Voice of the Leprechaun ringing shrill - As he busily plies his trade?" - --W. B. YEATS - -We have been speaking of the fairies and how they love Ireland. - -The fairies are divided into tribes just the way Ireland itself is -divided into many districts, counties, and provinces. - -There are many tribes of fairies, and these tribes are all quite -different from one another. - -There are those who dress like the flowers; and those that change -themselves into various shapes. There are evil fairies and solitary -fairies. - -You must always call them the "Good People," for they are easily -offended. - -But if you believe in them and leave a bit of milk for them upon the -window sill, they will bring luck and happiness to you. - -Now the fairy that we are going to meet in this story is called the -leprechaun, or fairy shoemaker. We are going to meet him, because if it -had not been for him, there would be no story at all. - -The fairy shoemaker sits under a toadstool making tiny shoes. The word -"leprechaun" comes from two Irish words meaning "one shoe." The reason -he bears this name is because he is always working upon one shoe. - -The leprechaun is quick and mysterious. He is also mischievous. And one -of his great pranks is stealing wee boys away. - -He steals wee Irish boys away from their homes because they do work so -well. He makes them work for himself--this mischief-making fairy! - -He will not bother with wee girls. - -"Wee girls are not so strong as wee boys," says he. - -So when you meet Shaun O'Day, you must not be surprised to find him -wearing a petticoat! You must not be surprised, because it is the fault -of the leprechaun. - -You see, Shaun O'Day lived in a very western part of Ireland, in -Connemara, where fairies abound. - -And in the village where he lived, the boys were all dressed in red -petticoats! They were dressed in red flannel petticoats until they -reached a tall and manly age. - - [Illustration: HE WORE A FLANNEL PETTICOAT] - -This was many years ago. And though they would not tell you why they -wore those petticoats, I am telling you 'twas because of the -leprechauns. - -Every wee boy's mother feared the leprechaun. And so she dressed her boy -in the dress of the girl to trick that sly creature. - -Boys were needed badly by the human folk. Why should the fairy folk be -taking them away? - -Shaun had a good, kind father. He was a fisherman. Shaun's mother was -dead. - -But Shaun and his father lived happily enough until one day Shaun's -father married again. - -He married a woman who had four sons. Grown-up boys they were, and lazy. - -Like the Queen in the story of Conn-eda, this woman was unkind. Little -love had she for Shaun, and she made him work hard. - -Poor little lad! He was very young when he had to labor like a full -grown man, while the sons of his stepmother rested or played. - -Shaun was always called Shauneen by his father, who loved him dearly. -"Shauneen" means "little Shaun." "Een" is the Irish for "little." - -"Oh, Shauneen, lad," said the father, one night after his return from -sea, "'tis tired you look, and worn. Faith! Can the school work be so -hard?" - -Shaun did not tell his father that the wicked stepmother had kept him -from school that day. He did not tell his father that she had made him -walk upon an errand, miles and miles away. He did not say that she had -beaten him when he returned. - -Shaun was often tempted to tell these things to his good, kind father. -But he feared to cause the poor man sorrow. - -"Sure, and 'twould be a pity to cause him grief, and he so good," the -lad had often thought to himself. "And I can bear it all, for have I not -himself to love me?" - -Shauneen was a brave boy and felt that to whimper to his father would be -weak. - -He was a sturdy little lad. His hair was Irish red and his cheeks were -bright and rosy from the damp, rainy wind. He was strong and manly. - -He hated the red petticoat he was forced to wear. Often he had thought -of putting on the clothing of a real boy. - -But always in his heart, as in the hearts of other village boys, there -was the fear of the leprechaun! - -And if he were stolen away, what would his dear father do? His dear -father, who loved him! - -It was only because of his father that Shauneen did not give himself to -the fairies. - -He would not have been afraid of the fairies. - -He would have liked them to take him away. They could not be so cruel as -his stepmother. - -Sometimes Shaun's stepmother made him mind her baby. He had to carry it -upon his back. Many of the village boys did this sort of thing, and so -it was not the disgrace that it would be in a present-day city. - -He often went down to the shore. - -To-day as he approached the shore, he met a friend. This friend was a -girl, the daughter of a neighbor. Her name was Eileen. But Shauneen did -not call her that. - -She was his little schoolgirl sweetheart, and he called her Dawn. He -called her Dawn because he told her that she was the dawn of day to him. - -"Some day," he said, "'tis myself, Shaun O'Day, will marry you. Then you -will be in truth my Dawn O'Day." - -To-day they looked out across the great ocean and dreamed of a new -world out there. They dreamed of America. - - [Illustration: THEY FANCIED AMERICA] - -And Shaun said, "When I am tall and strong, I shall take you in a ship -to America. Och, we'll be after building a houseen in the New Island!" - -The New Island was their Irish name for America. - -It was a rainy day, but they did not notice it. Rain is nothing to Irish -children. And as they talked together on the shore in the drizzling -rain, they heard a strange cry. - - [Illustration: THEY HEARD A STRANGE CRY] - -Louder grew the cry, and suddenly they saw men and women running toward -the shore. They heard the women wailing. They heard the tramp, tramp of -men's heavy boots. - -Shaun stood up, with the baby on his back. He shaded his eyes and -looked. - - [Illustration: SHAUN STOOD UP WITH THE BABY ON HIS BACK] - -The girl stood, too. She gave a low cry. - -"Och, Shauneen!" she moaned. "'Tis a fishing boat has been wrecked! -Och, the poor wives and children of the men 'twere in it!" - -And she moaned and rocked back and forth. - -The waters made a roaring sound. The sky was leaden gray. The men were -working, pulling in the wreck of the boat. - -Shaun gave the baby to Eileen. Then the boy in his red petticoat -started to run. - - [Illustration: HE STARTED TO RUN] - -His feet were bare, but he could skim over those rough rocks like a wild -animal. His feet never had known shoes. - -His ruddy face had gone white. He reached the group of working men and -moaning women. Then he fell upon his face, and a great sob came from his -heart. - -Among the lost men was his own father! - - [Illustration: HE FELL UPON HIS FACE] - - - - -CHAPTER III - -COME AWAY - - - "Come away, O human child! - To the woods and waters wild, - With a fairy hand in hand." - --W. B. YEATS - -The sea had taken away Shaun's only loved one. - -Shaun O'Day stood upon the banks of the little lake near his village. He -stared out across the blue Irish lake. That morning his stepmother had -beaten him. - - [Illustration: HE STARED OUT ACROSS THE BLUE IRISH LAKE] - -It was several months since the sea accident had taken his father from -him. It was several sad, cruel months to the boy Shaun. - -If it had not been for his little Dawn O'Day, Shaun would have run away. -He would have run and run--anywhere to get away from this life of hard -work and cruelty. - -But he did not want to leave little Dawn O'Day. She pleaded with him to -stay. She was afraid of the fairies. - -To-day he stood beside the lake, and he had a bundle by his side. It was -a bulky bundle. He had worked hard all that morning. He had helped the -men burn kelp. - -Kelp is seaweed. The people burn it and make iodine from what is left of -it. Kelp burning is an important occupation in western Ireland. - -Shaun had worked hard. His little rough hands burned. His little sturdy -body ached. He was hungry. - -He had gone home and, seeing the family at dinner, he had helped himself -to potatoes. - -His stepmother had cried, "Begob, and did I tell you to serve yourself? -Are you, indeed, the King himself?" - -With that, she had beaten him. - -Now Shaun stood upon the shore of that blue Irish lake near his village. -He had taken a suit of clothes belonging to one of his stepbrothers. A -suit of boy's clothes it was. - -He would put it on. He would stand by the lake and call to the -leprechauns to take him away. He would work for the leprechauns. Yes, -willingly would he work and toil for the fairy folk! - -He started to undo the paper in which he had wrapped the clothing. He -heard a sound and looked up. Eileen was standing before him. It was his -little Dawn O'Day. - -"Shauneen, och, Shauneen!" she cried. "What is it you are about to do? -And why do you look that way?" - -Shaun did not answer. He took her hand. They sat together on the bank of -the lake. - -"Faith, speak to me, Shauneen!" cried the girl, the tears starting to -her eyes. "Speak and tell me that you are not after calling the lep--" - -She stopped suddenly. One should not talk about them. They are easily -offended. - -Shaun kept looking out across the lake, but he held the hand of his -little sweetheart. At last he spoke. - -"Sure, I am leaving you, Dawn O'Day," he said. - -As she started to cry out, he held up his hand and said, "No; do not -cry, for I cannot stay. But do not fear that I shall forget you. The -dream we made together shall come true. I'll be coming back to you. For -there's not a faireen like you in all the world, at all." - -Dawn O'Day began to cry. - - [Illustration: SHE PLEADED WITH HIM TO STAY] - -She sobbed, "Och, don't be after leaving me! Don't be after going to -them. Och, 'tis themselves will be keeping you, and never will Dawn -O'Day see you again!" - -Shaun laughed and stroked her little hand. - - [Illustration: HE TOOK HER HAND] - -"Troth, do not fret, mavourneen," he said. "Sure, you know well I'll be -writing to you, and never will I forget you, my Dawn O'Day." - -The little girl knew that it was useless to say more. The boy stood up, -and she stood, too. They looked into each other's blue eyes. - - [Illustration: "DO NOT FRET, MAVOURNEEN"] - -And then Eileen ran as fast as she could. She ran away from her little -friend and sobbed as she ran. She thought she should never again see -her Shauneen. - -The boy quickly changed his clothing. He tied a large rock to the red -petticoat and threw it into the lake. He stood there in the garments of -a boy. - - [Illustration: HE TIED A ROCK TO THE PETTICOAT] - -He held out his arms and cried, "Come, leprechauns! Sure, I'm ready to -go with you!" - -There was no fear in his heart. Any other boy in that village would have -trembled at doing such a thing. But other boys were contented at home. - -Other boys had mothers and fathers and good homes. They did not want to -be stolen away. Shauneen was not afraid. - -He stood and called as he stood. He was straight and strong. He would -make a splendid helper for a shoemaker. Why did the fairy shoemakers not -come and take him? He stood there until dusk. Then he grew tired and lay -down to sleep. He slept long. It was early dawn when he awoke. - -He stood once more and called out, "I am ready to go. Come, leprechauns, -come!" - - [Illustration: "COME, LEPRECHAUNS! I'M READY TO GO"] - -But not a one came. And the lad was puzzled. - -Now Shaun was keen. He was one who thought and planned. He did not -intend to go back to his stepmother. - -He began to wonder whether the tale of the leprechauns was true. Had -anyone ever really seen one? Only old Patch, the village shoemaker, and -he was half-witted. - -But no one had been with Patch when he had seen the leprechaun. No one -ever had seen the fairies; but they all believed. They believed so much -that they were in daily dread of them. - -They left milk upon window sills and made charms to keep the fairies -from doing evil. They dressed their boys in red petticoats. - -But Shaun would never again wear a red petticoat. He would never again -return to his stepmother. - -Even if the fairies did not steal him, he would never return. He would -go somewhere. Perhaps to the "New Island"--America! As he was thinking -these thoughts, he found himself walking toward the shore. There was a -weak light in the sky. The rugged shore was blue in the haze of dawn. - -The boy could see a boat. Men were hauling things and making ready to -set off for somewhere. Shaun was quick, and before he knew what he had -done he had slid into the boat. - -He crouched upon the bottom, under a seat. He made himself as small as a -bundle of rags. - -He lay very still. He felt the boat leave the shore and he heard the men -talking and singing. The water rolled the boat about, and sometimes the -spray came in and wet the men. - -But Shaun was dry and warm under the seat. He hardly breathed. - - - - -CHAPTER IV - -THE STRANGE LAND - - - "Out of the old world - Into the new, - True land or fairyland, - Say, which are you?" - -"Shaun O'Day has been stolen by the leprechauns!" That was the whisper -that buzzed all about the village the next day. - -Little Eileen, with swollen eyes, told her mother how she had left the -lad on the bank of the lake. She told how he had planned to put on the -clothing of a boy and call the fairies. She wept as she told how brave -he had been and how he had promised to write to her. - -Her mother smiled sadly and said, "Och, the poor lad will never write! -Never will Ireland see himself again! Sure, it's lost he is, and he -standing by the banks of that lake in the clothing of a man child! For -the fairies do be looking for his likes. Well pleased were they surely -to find him!" - -She sighed, and so did all the rest of the village folk. They all left -milk upon their window sills that night. - -They spoke together of the Good People and said, "God bless them!" - -For, you see, they wanted to win the good will of the fairies. - -Shaun's stepmother was as certain as any of the rest that the boy had -been stolen. - -She said, "And luck to the Good People! May they work the lazy lad and -make a man of him!" - -She was not sorry for Shaun. But she was sorry for herself that he was -not there to work for her any more. - -In a few months nobody spoke of Shaun in the village. He was forgotten. -He was forgotten by all but little Eileen. She thought of him each day. - -And ofttimes she went to the lake and talked to the blue waters. She -asked them where the fairies had taken her Shauneen. - -But the wind only blew ripples over the blue waters of the lake. And the -trees sighed, and Eileen ran home crying. - -She did not tell her mother. She kept her secret in her heart and kept -her heart open for Shauneen. - -Then one day after many months, a letter came to the town. It was for -Eileen. It came from a strange land; and everyone in the village was -curious about it. - -Some of the old folks in the village did not know English. They spoke -only Irish. But the children in the village all knew English, for they -studied it in school. - -The letter to Eileen was written in English. The little girl ran to the -side of the blue lake. She opened the letter with trembling fingers. - -This is what she read: - -"Dawn O'Day, I have traveled far. The many lands I've seen and the many -strange things would open wide your eyes. I am in a fairy city. The -lights at night do be shining like the stars. And the noise is like a -thousand thunders. - -"But the shoemaker is kind. I work hard, but I am paid a handsome sum. -And I study at night in a fine school. I am happy but for the sorrow of -leaving you. Keep in your heart your faith, for I'll be coming back to -get you. - -"Your Shaun." - -When Eileen walked back to the village with her letter clasped in her -hand, a crowd of children surrounded her. - -"And what is in it?" shouted one. - -"Are the fairies themselves writing to you?" laughed another. - -Eileen shook her curls and would not answer. - -One cried, "Och, you cannot keep it secret at all, at all! 'Tis from -himself--Shaun O'Day, and 'tis from America!" - -The crowd set up a loud roar. "Yes, yes, we know! From America! We saw -the mark! 'Tis a fine secret you'd keep, Eileen!" - -Eileen's face became red with anger. - -"Stop!" she cried. "'Tis not true! He's with the fairies! He's in a -fairy city! 'Tis himself says so!" - -But the crowd only laughed the more loudly. "Ho! A fairy city! And why, -then, is the letter marked with the mark of America?" - -Eileen had wondered, too, about this. She wondered about the postmark. -It said "U.S.A." And that meant United States of America. - -"'Tis a trick of the fairies!" she cried, believing it herself. "A trick -to put us off their track! 'Tis himself that's working for the fairy -shoemaker in a fairy city!" - -She then told them what Shaun had said about the lights at night and the -thunder noise. She told how he was receiving pay for his work and about -the school to which he went. - -They stopped shouting and listened. Their jaws fell open. They were -forced to believe that Shaun was truly in the land of the leprechaun! - -Still, some were doubtful and went away wagging their heads and -sneering. - -"'Tis said that in great cities in the New World such things do be," -said one. - -But Eileen was happy. No matter where Shaun was, she knew that he was -well. She knew that he thought of her and that they would meet again -some day. - -Letters came often after that. In each one were tales of great wonder. -Even the most doubtful of the villagers had to admit that the boy was -with the fairies. - -He told of strange people, of amusements, of towers touching the sky, -and of sights that dazzled his eyes. - -Shaun had traveled all the way to a big American city. A bright, strong -lad was he. - -He could always find ways of working himself along. On ships and -trains, in motors, and upon his two feet he traveled. - -When he arrived in the strange city across the sea, he sold papers on -the streets. - -His clear Irish voice rang out with its brogue. Many persons smiled as -they listened to the fresh young voice of Shaun O'Day from Connemara. - -But one man stopped and spoke to the lad. He, too, was an Irishman. He -spoke kindly to Shaun. - -The boy told him about his trip and the strangeness he felt in this new -land. So this Irishman, Pat O'Leary, took Shaun to his shop. - -Pat O'Leary was a shoemaker. He had a tiny shop on a side street in the -great city. Here he worked at his trade and lived in a dingy room in the -back of the shop. - -'Twas thus that Shaun O'Day found a home. And 'twas thus that he started -to work for a shoemaker. Pat O'Leary was not a fairy shoemaker. But a -good fairy was he to the Irish lad. - -He was wrinkled and bent. He might have been an old leprechaun who had -lost his way upon earth. He was jolly and smiling, with a joke ever upon -his lips. - -Shaun lived and worked with Pat and was happy. At night he went to -school in the big city and learned many things. - -The bright lights, flickering on and off, made him blink his eyes. The -tall towers and buildings made his neck stiff with looking up. - -The noise of the traffic and whistles and motors and people made his -ears tingle. - -But he loved it and wrote each week to his little friend in Ireland and -told her of the magic of it all. He told it with a twinkle in his Irish -eyes as he wrote. - -He knew she would think he was with the fairies. He knew she, too, would -think this big city fairyland if she were here with him. - -So he smiled to himself as he wrote to her. And the smiles tumbled down -from his lips to the paper on which he wrote. - -And when Eileen received the letters those same smiles jumped up and -settled on her own two pretty lips. She liked to think that her Shaun -was in a fairy city. He knew she would like to think it. - -So he went on telling her about the wonders, without ever saying he was -in the city of New York. - -It was a simple jest. He would not have deceived her for worlds. But -that twinkle made him play with her. It made him write letters that read -like fairy tales. - -And sometimes he wrote verse like this: - - Towers tall - Make Shauneen small - Feel like nothing - At all, at all! - -Years went by. One day a very small girl came into the shoemaker's -shop. - -Shaun was growing to be a tall boy now. He was tall and manly. But the -Irish bloom was still on his face, with the smile of his country. - -A very small girl came into the shop with her nurse. While the nurse -talked to Pat O'Leary, the little miss came over and sat upon a stool by -the side of Shaun O'Day. - -He gave her his Irish smile. She gave him a friendly American smile. - -She was a pretty, blond baby, with teeth as white as milk and eyes the -brown of tree bark. - -It was not long before the Irish lad was telling her the stories of his -land. She sat spellbound while he talked of the fairies. He worked upon -a shoe while he talked. - - [Illustration: TELLING STORIES OF HIS LAND] - -He told her about the leprechaun. And she thought he might be one, from -the way he looked as he worked upon that shoe. - - [Illustration: HE WORKED UPON ONE SHOE WHILE HE TALKED] - -Then her nurse called, "Come, Marjorie. We must go!" Marjorie did not -want to go. She stamped her little foot. - -"Come, now," begged Nurse, "and to-morrow we will be coming back." - -You see, Nurse was Irish, too, and she loved to talk with Pat O'Leary. - -Marjorie could twine Nurse about her little finger and make her do as -she wished. Marjorie could make almost everybody do as she wished, for -she was sweet and pretty, and she had dimples. - - [Illustration: MARJORIE] - -But sometimes she was very stubborn and naughty. Then she did not look -so pretty. Her dimple did not seem to be a fairy ripple when she was -cross. - -Marjorie and Nurse left the shop. All that day, Marjorie thought of the -Irish lad's tales. - -The next day they came again, and the next, and the next. Marjorie -loved to go to the shop each day and listen to the tales of Shaun O'Day. - -But one day a frightful thing happened. Marjorie's dimple was looking -more like a smudge of dirt than like a fairy ripple. - -It was evening. Marjorie heard the water running for her bath. - -She stamped her foot at Nurse and cried, "I won't take a bath!" - -When Nurse called to her that the bath was ready, Marjorie was nowhere -to be found. She had run away from her home. - -Marjorie ran to the shop of Pat O'Leary, straight to Shaun O'Day. - -Shaun was surprised and shocked to see the little girl alone and at -such a late hour. He was just starting off for his school. - -Marjorie wanted the lad to tell her tales. But he shook his head. - -"Sure, 'tis the wicked child you are, Miss Marjorie," he said. "And 'tis -myself will carry you back to your home." - -So saying, he picked her up under his arm and took her to her home. -Imagine how surprised her parents were when they saw this sight at their -door. - -There was Shaun, the red-haired Irish lad, standing with their wee -daughter tucked under his big arm. She was kicking and squealing like a -little pig. - - [Illustration: KICKING AND SQUEALING LIKE A LITTLE PIG] - -"Begging your pardon, sir," said Shaun to Marjorie's father, "I've -brought you the young lady of the house!" - -Marjorie was sent upstairs to bed. I do not know whether her mother -spanked her, but I think she did not. Her mother spoiled her the way -everyone else did. - -Downstairs, Shaun told Marjorie's father how she had come to the shop. -Her father asked Shaun to sit down. He liked the boy. He asked Shaun -about his life. Marjorie's father wanted to know about Ireland, too. -Shaun talked with his slow brogue. His blue eyes twinkled with the truth -there was in them. - -Marjorie's father asked Shaun, "Would you not like to change your home? -Come and work for me in this house. I will have you taught the work of a -butler, if you will come here and stay. You shall tell Marjorie tales -every day." - -You see, her father was another who wanted to do everything in the world -for this little American Princess. - -So it came about that Shaun changed his home and his work. He left the -shop of Pat O'Leary. And a letter came to Dawn O'Day in Ireland. - -It said: "So here I am in the house of a fairy Princess. She did wave -her wand, and I was brought to live here by her father. 'Tis a good man -he is, too. And I love the baby Princess well and do be pleasing her -with tales of old Ireland. - -"I'm learning the trade of a butler. I'm after serving themselves out of -golden goblets and glass plates the color of Ireland's green. The table -shines with bright crystal and silver. The food is beautiful to look -upon. - -"Then the pay I do get is indeed grand. 'Tis all to be saved for our -wedding day, mavourneen." - - - - -CHAPTER V - -THE FRIGHTENED GIANT - - - A giant did call at a fairy ball - With the wee folk he wanted to play, - But as soon as he lifted his clumsy arm - He frightened the fairies away. - - Then back they all came and they played their game, - And the giant once more tried to play, - But so quick and so light were the fairies bright - They frightened the giant away. - -When Marjorie's nurse went out, it was Shaun who took Marjorie to play -in the park. Sometimes they stayed in the big gardens of Marjorie's -home, and Shaun told stories. - - [Illustration: SHAUN TOLD MARJORIE STORIES IN THE GARDEN] - -But occasionally the little girl liked to go where she would meet her -friends. - -On such a day Shaun and Marjorie were playing ball with the children in -the park. They were throwing the ball to one another. - -Shaun was standing among them like a giant. He was trying to be gentle -as he threw the ball. But all at once his strength let go and over the -tree tops went the ball. - -"O-oh, what a terrible throw!" sneered a small boy. - -Shaun ran and brought back the ball. He tried to be more careful. But -once he threw it into the duck pond, and at last he lost it altogether. -He heard a child snickering as he came back from an unsuccessful search. - -Marjorie said, "Let's go home. I'm tired, anyway." - -She looked cross, but she did not say a word to Shaun on the way home. - -That night Shaun was dressing to help the butler serve dinner. He looked -at his big hands. - -He looked at his strong arms and sighed, "Och! Shaun O'Day is too big to -be the playmate of a fairy princess!" - -But he did not worry until later. - -Then that evening when he was helping wash dishes, the cook said, "Watch -out, boy. You'll break the dishes yet, with your big, clumsy hands." - -He tried so hard to be careful. He tried too hard, perhaps, for what -cook had warned him of came to pass. He broke a precious cup and saucer. - -The other servants said nothing, but smiled behind their hands. - -Cook, however, cautioned, "Mind you don't do that again, boy." - -Shaun went to his room with a heavy heart that night. What was the -matter? Was he too big, too clumsy? - -Would he never learn to be deft and quick like Perkins the butler? Or -neat and brisk like the chauffeur Paul? - -Oh, well, he could only try. He could be very careful. But anyway, -Marjorie still loved his tales. - -He could tell stories and amuse the Princess. That was one thing none of -the others could do. He fell asleep smiling. - -A few days later, Marjorie told him that she was planning a birthday -party. She told him about all the amusements they were to have. Many -children were to be asked. - -They would have ice cream and cake and chocolate in the garden under -the trees. Shaun would serve them. - -They would play games, and Shaun would tell them stories. Oh, that was -to be the best part of all, Marjorie thought. - -Shaun and the little girl planned the party together. Shaun suggested an -Irish game, and Marjorie said it would be fun to play it. - -So the day arrived. It was a shiny spring day. It was a pretty sight to -see the little boys and girls running about and playing together in the -green garden. - -Marjorie cried out, "Come now! Shaun will show you how to play his -game." - -And the tall lad stood among the little children. He tried to make them -understand what fun it was to play an old Irish game. - -It was a game that Shaun had played and that Shaun's father had played -and perhaps Shaun's father's father. - -But these young Americans did not like it. They said so. They turned -their backs and refused to play it. - -So Marjorie said, "Then Shaun will tell us a story." - -The children gathered around Shaun and he began: "Once upon a time in -old Ireland--" - -"Will there be any wars in the story?" asked one of the children--a boy, -of course. - -Shaun twinkled and replied, "Perhaps." - - [Illustration: "ONCE UPON A TIME IN OLD IRELAND"] - -Then he went on. He was telling a fairy tale. The boys began to realize -that it was not about wild Indians and wars. They twisted and fidgeted. -They dug their heels into the ground, and one boy pinched another. He -squealed aloud. - -"S-sh!" said one girl. "Stop making that noise!" - -But the boys did not want to listen. - -One boy stood up and said, "Who wants to hear about fairies?" - -"I don't! I don't!" yelled the others. - -Marjorie frowned. - -The boys ran away, shouting, "Come on! Let's play robbers." - -Marjorie said, "They would have liked Shaun's story. They should have -listened. It was awf'lly 'citing! But he hardly started to tell it." - -By this time the group was scattered. Even the little girls were -whispering together. - -Shaun got up and walked away. He walked to a bench at the other end of -the garden and sat down. He was thinking very deeply. - -He sat there until he heard his name called. He had to go into the house -to help bring out ice cream and cake and chocolate to Marjorie's guests. - -As he served little ice cream boats and flowers and animals, his -thoughts were far away. The crystal and gold of the plates and goblets -did not seem so lovely as before. - -Everything on the table swam before Shaun's eyes. Even the children's -faces seemed blurred. He heard their talk and laughter in a dream. - -He was very unhappy. - -"Oh, Shaun, do look what you're doing!" cried a voice in distress. - -Shaun looked in horror at what he had done. He had poured hot chocolate -over the tablecloth. It was trickling down over a little girl's dress. - -Perkins the butler grabbed the chocolate pot out of Shaun's hand. - -He muttered, "Clumsy fellow!" and started mopping up. - -The little girl began to cry. - -Shaun went into the kitchen for a fresh napkin. When he came out to the -party again, he heard the children snickering and whispering among -themselves. As he approached the table, they stopped. He knew they were -making sport of his clumsiness. - -He looked at Marjorie. There were tears in her brown eyes, and she was -biting her lip. That night Shaun packed his few things and left a letter -for Marjorie. - - [Illustration: THERE WERE TEARS IN MARJORIE'S BROWN EYES] - -He told her that he was too clumsy to stay in the home of a princess any -longer. He told her that he should never forget her kindness to him. - -Then he wrote another letter and put a stamp on it. He walked out of -the big house with the letter in one hand and his old Irish carpet bag -in the other. - -He walked along the bright city streets until he came to a mail box. He -kissed the letter and then dropped it into the box. - -Dawn O'Day read the letter a few weeks later in Ireland. - -This is what it said: - -"My Dawn O'Day-- - -"At last I am leaving the fairy folk. My fingers have grown too clumsy -and my arms too big for the dainty likes of the Good People. Those -elves, the children of this bright world, do not be wanting Shaun O'Day -any more. - -"And so, little Eileen, I am coming back to you and Ireland. And in my -pocket is silver and gold to buy us a wedding and a cottage. - -"But the cottage will not be in that New Island. 'Twill be in the old -Emerald Isle. - -"Your Shaun." - -Shaun sold everything he had but an old suit of clothes. He bought a -ticket on a boat going to England and sailed away from New York. - -As the big ship left behind her the great American city, the Irish lad -saluted and murmured, "Farewell, fairyland. 'Tis too grand you are for -the likes of a simple lad like me. But, och, a wonderful, great -fairyland you are!" - -Slowly the stately harbor disappeared from view. - - - - -PART II - -CHAPTER - -VI JOHN - - - "Come cuddle close in Daddy's coat - Beside the fire so bright, - And hear about the fairy folk - That wander in the night." - --ROBERT BIRD - -It is to-day in Ireland. Shaun O'Day is married to Eileen. He has made -her his Dawn O'Day. - -They have built a cottage near the banks of that blue Irish lake. They -live there with their children. - -Shaun and Dawn O'Day have three children. Their youngest is a red-haired -baby girl with the eyes and the name of her mother. - -Their oldest is a lanky, freckle-faced lad who wears the cast-off -trousers of his father. No more do tall boys wear the petticoats of -girls. They are not afraid of the leprechaun when they reach the age of -ten or twelve years. - -But their mothers still keep them dressed as girls when they are small. -And that is why we find John, the second son of Shaun O'Day, in a red -petticoat. He looks very much the way Shaun himself had looked at that -age. - -John had been christened Shaun. But they call him John, because it is -to-day in Ireland. Young Shaun was called John O'Day. - -John had the ruddy complexion given most of these village lads by the -wind and rain. But he was not as tough and strong as his father had -been. He did not have to work. He could come home from school and do as -he pleased. Sometimes, of course, he ran errands for his mother or -helped her with household chores. But usually he would go to the shores -of the lake and think. - -Shaun once found his son thus. He went up to John quietly. He put his -hand on the lad's shoulder. John jumped and stood erect, his face white. - -"Och, why do you jump with such a great fear, my lad?" asked the father. - -John sat down again. He was ashamed. He did not speak. - -"Tell me, lad: What is it you fear?" asked the father. - - [Illustration: HE WOULD GO TO THE SHORES OF THE LAKE] - -Then John told his father how some boy in the village had started a -tale. The lad had told how, many years ago, Shaun had been stolen away -by the leprechauns. - -John told how it had happened on the shores of this very lake. He would -not believe it and said so. - -Still he often lay on his back by the lake and wondered whether it could -be true. Now he asked Shaun to tell him. - -Shaun stroked his rough chin. The twinkle he had had as a boy was there -in his eyes still. He looked at little John beside him. - -"Och, Johneen!" he laughed with his musical laugh. "'Tis indeed a true -story." - -John's eyes grew big. He stared at his father as though Shaun himself -might be one of the Good People. - -Then he spread out the red petticoat on the ground. He knew that the red -petticoat would protect him. - -Shaun looked in amusement at the boy's frightened eyes. Then he grew -sober. - -He said, "You must not fear the Good People, Johneen!" - -John wet his dry lips with the tip of his tongue. He came up closer to -his father. - -"But didn't they make you work for themselves?" he whispered. "And -weren't they after stealing you away, and you wearing the clothes of a -boy?" - -"Yes, yes," agreed Shaun. But he took his little son's hand and stroked -it. "And now," he went on, "if you'll listen, I'll tell you the story." - -Shaun began, "When I was a lad I was not so fortunate as you, Johneen. -I had to work hard. I was beaten and had not enough to eat. So I -determined to go with the leprechaun. I put on the clothes of a boy. I -stood by the lake. But never a fairy came at all, at all. - -"I was tired and slept, and when I awoke 'twas dawn. I ran to the shore -in a daze. I jumped into a boat. I was carried away. Through many -countries and on many seas I traveled. - -"At last I landed in the fairy city. 'Twas there I met the leprechaun -himself." - -John's hand squeezed the hand of his father. He edged up closer to the -big man. - -"But do not be thinking that this leprechaun was wicked," continued -Shaun. "No, indeed. Kind he was, and good to me. I worked on the mending -of shoes and was paid in silver. - -"Then did I work for a little princess in the home of her father. Good -People they were, too. And the sight of the beauty of that home would -surely have dazzled you. - -"Among the precious treasures of that house I worked. With the treasured -little Princess did I play until at last--" - -Here the big man stopped. His voice grew low and soft. He dropped his -head. - -John asked in a hushed whisper, "Yes--and what happened?" - -"Och, well--lad--I came back to old Ireland. Your mother was waiting for -me." - -Then Shaun arose and placed his hand on John's shoulder. - -He continued, "But remember, son, that the Good People will not harm -you. Do not be afraid, at all, for well do they love us. And I do -believe that they steal the wee boys because they love them so." - -Shaun told this tale to the lad John, so he would never again fear the -fairies. - -And so well did the plan succeed that John began to love the Good -People. Over and over, he thought of what Shaun had told him. - -He tried to imagine what the baby Princess looked like. He would shut -his eyes and try to picture the wonders of that fairy city. - -One day he found himself pretending that he was flying over the city. He -started and jumped to his feet. - -Why had he been doing this? Did he, too, want to go away with the -fairies? Of course not. Why should he want to leave his home, his good -parents, his brother and sister? - -Laughing aloud, he went back to the cottage. He did not visit the lake -for several days. - -Then one morning, he was walking by himself in the sunshine. The little -sparkling beams of sun made him think of the lights his father had told -him about in the strange city. - -Suddenly he found himself on the banks of the lake. He was on the -opposite shore. He sat down. - -He wondered whether the leprechaun would steal him if he should wear -the clothes of his big brother. The brightness of the day and the bird -songs made him light of heart. They gave him courage. - -"Sure, I'll try," he exclaimed to the blue waters of the lake. - -What harm to try? Suppose they took him. It would be fun to visit -fairyland. He could always come back. His father came back. - -In his new enthusiasm, John stood on the bank and held out his arms -crying, "Come, fairy Good Folk! Take me away. I do be wanting to see the -wonders of your land!" - -But the gentle lapping of the lake was the only answer to his cry. Then -John realized that he was standing in the red petticoat. He smiled. - -"They'll not be wanting girls, at all," he reasoned. - - [Illustration: "THEY'LL NOT BE WANTING GIRLS AT ALL"] - -Next day, before anyone in the cottage was astir, John slipped out of -the door. He was clad in a suit belonging to his older brother. The -trousers hung very low, but he tucked them up. He pulled a cap down over -his face. - -He ran all the way to the opposite shore of the lake. His heart was -pounding, and his breath came in gasps. - -He threw himself down on the ground to rest. Bird sounds were all about, -and a rustling of leaves. The water was lap-lapping as always. - - - - -CHAPTER VII - -THE GIRL FAIRY - - - "To the fairyland afar - Where the Little People are." - --ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON - -Marjorie was now grown up. She looked quite different from the tiny -golden-haired girl Shaun had known. She was a tall, slender young lady. - -Her dimple still became a fairy ripple when she was happy. When she was -cross, it still seemed a smudge of dirt. - -Marjorie was often cross now. The reason was a strange one. She had too -much to make her happy. She had loving parents and a beautiful home. She -had many friends who adored her. - -She was very beautiful, too. Everything lovely belonged to Marjorie. -Even wealth was hers. - -Her father gave her everything she asked for. She had an automobile. She -had a beautiful glossy horse to ride. - -She went to jolly parties, and all the boys wanted to dance with her. -They sent her boxes of chocolate creams and rare flowers. - - [Illustration: MARJORIE WAS NOW GROWN UP] - -But Marjorie was not happy with all this. She wanted the one thing that -she could not have. - -Often she spoke about Shaun O'Day. He had written to her from Ireland -when he returned. He had sent her a shamrock and his picture. After -that, she had never heard from him again. - -She had cried bitterly for many days after Shaun's departure. She had -blamed her rude companions for having insulted the Irish lad. She wanted -him back. - -But of course Shaun never went back to America. He was too happy in -Ireland. You know why he was happy. He had his Dawn O'Day and his little -children. - -So he hardly ever thought of the baby Princess in "fairyland." He was -too busy working hard to make a living for his family. He had so little -money. But it did not make him unhappy. Sometimes it is a good thing -when people have to work. It makes them happy. - -You see how discontented Marjorie was. And she had so much! But she -finally found a wish that seemed impossible to grant. - -When she knew that she might never have Shaun again, she wanted him more -than ever. She pleaded with her father to send for him. But that was one -thing her father would not do. - -He knew that the lad could never be happy in this land. He knew that -Shaun had the dreams of Ireland in his heart. Shaun belonged in Ireland. - - [Illustration: SHAUN HAD THE DREAMS OF IRELAND] - -Many years passed, and Marjorie never forgot Shaun. She often looked at -the young men who danced with her or who took her to the theater. - -She often thought, "He is not so nice as Shaun O'Day!" - -She imagined Shaun even finer than he was. She had really forgotten what -he was like, and she made a prince of him in her thoughts. - -"I shall never be happy until I find Shaun O'Day once more!" she said. - -One day Marjorie asked her father if he would take her abroad. She -wanted to visit the countries of Europe. Her father consented, and the -family sailed away on a fine ship. - -They were going to France and Germany and Italy and many other -countries. They had not thought of going to Ireland. But Marjorie knew -that they were going to Ireland! - -And in Ireland, poor little John O'Day sat by the lake waiting for the -fairies. He had waited there for many days. At first he sat very still -with the clumsy trousers rolled up his legs and the big cap falling over -his eyes. - -He sat still and listened for a sound. He heard only the lake lapping. - -Then he began to bring his books along. He liked the books about Ireland -that they gave him at school. - -He thought the pictures of Dublin and Belfast looked very like that -fairy city of which his father had told. He looked at those pictures for -hours and hours. And he waited there by the banks. - - [Illustration:--LOOKED AT THOSE PICTURES FOR HOURS AND HOURS] - -He always changed to his red petticoat before he went home. He did not -want anyone to know what he was doing. Some might laugh at him. - -His mother would be frightened and hold him close. She might make him -promise never to do it again. Then he would never see the fairies. - -His brother could not imagine what had become of his old suit of -clothes. He had to wear his Sunday suit until he could make enough money -to buy a new suit. But the days slipped by, and the boy waited in vain -for the leprechaun. The longing for adventure was great in his heart. - -One day he stepped to the edge of the lake and cried out in a loud -voice, "Arrah, 'tis long I've waited and tired I am! Come, Good Folk, -come! Give to the son of Shaun O'Day the great wonders of your fairy -powers!" - -As his voice died down, he stepped back from the edge of the water. He -looked about cautiously. Then his heart gave a leap. He had heard a tiny -sound. It was not the lapping lake. It was not the wind in the trees. - -It was surely a fairy. And as he was thinking these thoughts, he saw -her. - -She came gliding over the ground like a rainbow. Her gown was lavender -and blue, flowing and billowy. Her dainty little shoes were snow-white. -And her hair was spun gold. - -A many-colored scarf twined about her neck and fluttered in the breeze. -There was a beautiful perfume in the air as she appeared. - -The boy backed into the bushes. He stared out at the lovely vision. His -eyes were wild with fear. - - [Illustration: HE STARED OUT AT THE LOVELY VISION] - -The beautiful creature came closer. She held out her hand and smiled. -Her hand was snow-white. Her smile was a sunbeam, with a dimple in it. - -"Do not be afraid," said her clear, sweet voice. "You called the -fairies, son of Shaun O'Day?" - -John nodded, but could not speak. His mouth was dry. - -"I have come at your command," she smiled. Then she led John out and -looked at him for a long time. She was smiling kindly. At last she -spoke. - -"You are the son of Shaun O'Day. And I am the fairy Princess who once -stole Shaun from the leprechaun. I used to hear his fine stories of -Ireland. I loved to listen to him. He used to play with me in fairyland. -Did he tell you?" - -John looked into her sparkling brown eyes and said, "Sure, and he did. -He told me about it all. And I did be wanting to go with the fairies, -too." - -She laughed a silvery laugh and put her arm about John. "And so you -shall," she said. "Come with me. Let me show you to our fairy chariot." - -She led him away. They walked for quite a while until they came to a -dusty road. It was a road on which many donkey carts travel, but few -automobiles. - -She drew him to the side of a shining automobile. It was the most -beautiful thing John had ever seen. - -"Enter, Shaun," said the girl fairy. - -John looked at her for just an instant with a question on his lips. She -had called him Shaun. Why? - - [Illustration: "YOU ARE THE SON OF SHAUN O'DAY"] - -But she stopped his question and said, "We shall fly over the ground -now. Hold on tight." - -For the next hour, the boy John hardly breathed with excitement. He was -being carried over the ground faster than ever he had gone in his life. - -Trees and fields and pigs and donkeys flew by. Thatched cottages seemed -to dart out at them and then disappear. - -The girl fairy sat at the big wheel of the car and only smiled at him -occasionally. She said never a word. - -At last they drew up at the side of a lonely road. She stopped the -flying car. She turned to him. - -She said, "Now Shauneen, what do you want me to do for you?" - -John took a deep breath and clutched the side of the car. - -Then he answered slowly, "Faith! I'm after longing to visit fairyland." - -The girl fairy's smile vanished for a moment. Then she took his hand in -hers and spoke seriously. - -"Shauneen," she said, "I cannot take you there. But I can show you a -land as beautiful as fairyland. I can take you all about your own land, -Ireland. Do you know that the poets have called Ireland fairyland? Do -you know that there is no greener spot on earth?" - -John's eyes glowed. - -He answered, "Indeed, I do know it. And I'm forever seeing the pictures -in the school books. Sure, I do believe I'd rather be seeing Ireland -than any fairyland at all!" - - [Illustration: "ENTER, SHAUN," SAID THE GIRL FAIRY] - -"Good!" laughed the girl fairy. Then she grew serious again as she said, -"But Shauneen, you must promise your fairy that you will not speak of -this to anyone at all. You must also ask your father to come to the -shore of the lake to-morrow morning while you are at school. Tell him -that there is some one who would speak with him on a serious matter. But -do not say any more. If you obey these two commands, your fairy will -come again. She will come for you on the shores of the lake. She will -take you to all parts of your own beautiful country." - -John promised to carry out her wishes. Again they flew over the ground -until at last they were back at the spot whence they had started. - -Then John stepped out of the glistening automobile. The girl fairy threw -him a kiss and was off in a cloud of dust. - - - - -CHAPTER VIII - -OVER THE GREEN LAND - - - Above is so blue - And below is so green; - We are sailing away - In our flying machine. - -John was in school. But his mind was not on his lessons. For the first -time, the letters in his book swam before his eyes. The teacher's voice -seemed far away. - -He was thinking of the girl fairy and of his coming trip with her. She -had told him to say nothing, and he must obey her. But he could not help -thinking about her. Surely she was good and would let no harm befall -him. - -His father had told him that the Good People were kind and loved little -boys. So he smiled and paid no attention to his school work. - -The teacher set him in a corner with a dunce's cap on his head. - -In the meantime, John's father was walking to the shore of the lake. He -wondered who wanted to see him. John had told him that it was an -important matter. - -He scratched his red head and puzzled. He waited on the banks of the -lake until he heard a light step behind him. - -He turned and saw John's girl fairy. She walked over to him silently. He -jumped up and looked at her. Shaun thought he had never seen so -exquisite a being. She spoke. - -"You are Shaun O'Day," she said softly. She held out something and -continued, "Please take this." - -Shaun took from her graceful white hand a slip of paper. She kept -looking into his eyes. - -"Read it, Shaun," she said. - -Shaun opened the paper. His eyes fell on his own boyish handwriting and -a shamrock pasted across the top of the letter. - -"Faith, 'tis a letter I wrote, myself, when I was a lad!" he exclaimed. - - [Illustration: O'CONNELL STREET AND NELSON'S COLUMN, DUBLIN] - -The girl fairy only smiled and kept looking into Shaun's eyes. - -"Begob!" he suddenly shouted, looking hard at the girl fairy. "'Tis -Miss Marjorie, the baby Princess!" - -"Yes, Shaun," answered Marjorie happily. "'Tis Marjorie come all the way -from fairyland to see you." - -Then the two sat down on the bank. Shaun took off his coat and spread it -on the ground for the girl to sit upon. They talked and laughed and -remembered old times together. - -Suddenly Marjorie grew serious and said, "Shaun, I have seen your son!" - -Shaun looked surprised. - -Marjorie continued, "Shaun, I want you to help me. I want to give a -great pleasure to your little John." - -Then she told Shaun how John had seen her the previous day. She told -how John had believed her to be a fairy. She told Shaun that she had -promised to take the little lad on a trip through Ireland. - - [Illustration: DUBLIN IS QUAINT AND ANCIENT] - -She finished by saying, "I want to make him happy, Shaun, as you made -me, long ago. Will you say that I may take him?" - -Shaun's eyes were moist. He felt very grateful to the girl. - -He replied in a low voice, "Och, Miss Marjorie, you are indeed no fairy, -but a great good angel!" - -Marjorie jumped up gayly and cried, "Then you will let him go with me, -Shaun?" - -"And sure you know well I will, Miss Marjorie. 'Tis a great good you -will be doing for my lad. It is surely," he said. - -Marjorie looked very serious then. And she bowed her head. - -Her words were whispers as she said, "If it is a great good, then it is -the first great good I have ever done. I have been very selfish, Shaun. -Everyone has always done for me. This is the first time I have ever done -something to give some one else pleasure. And, oh," she suddenly clasped -her hands together and smiled radiantly, "it is a wonderful feeling! It -has made me happy, Shaun." - -She kissed his rough brown hand and turned on her dainty heel. She fled -before Shaun could utter a sound. - -"Well, begob, begorra!" he at last sputtered, scratching his head and -wrinkling his nose. "Now isn't it a great wonder?" - -Then, as if some breeze had contradicted him, he nodded his head and -said loudly, "It is surely!" - -It was several days before Marjorie's next visit to the lake. - -Although the little boy John went thither daily and waited longingly, no -girl fairy appeared. But he never doubted that she would come. He knew -she would keep her promise. And she did. - -At last, one day, she came tripping over the ground, laughing and -calling, "Shauneen, Shauneen, 'tis I!" - -John trembled. But he smiled at her and held out his hand. - -To-day she was not dressed in fluttering, light-colored garments. -Instead, she had on a brown leather coat. She wore a little round cap. - -She carried a small coat, which she held out to John. - -"Put this on quickly and come, for our air chariot awaits us," she -exclaimed, helping John put on the fine warm coat. - -Again they walked to the shining white automobile, and then they drove -and drove. At last they came to a large field. It was an air port, a -place where airplanes land. - -The girl stopped her car. John saw a winged machine standing in the -center of the field. It was a strange, terrible thing to the boy John. - -"Come," said Marjorie, taking him by the hand. "It is our airplane. We -shall fly over the green land together!" - -An airplane! John had seen airplanes before, but never like this. He had -seen them circling far up in the sky. - -He could often hear the whirring sound they made. They usually were so -high that they looked to the lad like small birds. - -But this one was a monster. There was a pilot ready to start the plane -and carry them off. They stepped inside the monster. John sat beside -Marjorie, and she held his hand. He edged up close to her. - -The plane's motor started. They began to rise from the ground. Oh, it -was like being a bird, John thought. It was even like being a fairy. - -He stole a glance at the girl fairy. She was beaming at him. - -"Do you like this, Shauneen?" she asked. - -"Faith, 'tis surely a great wonder! And you the good angel!" breathed -the boy. - -Marjorie remembered Shaun had said those same words to her. She felt -happier than she had felt ever before in her life. - -It was a trip that John O'Day never would forget. John would remember -that trip to his ninetieth birthday. - -They flew in the plane to the city of Dublin. They stopped at a fine -hotel, and the girl fairy gave John a handsome little traveling bag with -everything in it that he needed. - -There were soft, fine pajamas. There was a new suit of clothes. There -was a cap to match his coat, with fine socks and shoes. - - [Illustration: SHE GAVE JOHN A HANDSOME LITTLE TRAVELING BAG] - -They started out early the next morning to see all of Dublin town. A -great city it seemed to John, with its strange noises and its jostling -mobs on the streets. - - [Illustration: SUGARLOAF MOUNTAIN NEAR DUBLIN] - -In the center of O'Connell Street stands Nelson's Pillar. It is a thin, -tall pillar. Inside there are one hundred and sixty-six steps which wind -right up to the top. John and Marjorie walked up to the top and stood -looking down on the streets below. - -John noticed later when they walked in the streets that some of the -signs were written in Irish. - - [Illustration: SOME OF THE SIGNS WERE WRITTEN IN IRISH] - -John was just learning to read Irish in school. So he could read some of -the signs. - -School children have to study the Irish language in that part of Ireland -called the Free State. The Free State is free from Great Britain and has -its own government. It is the southern part of the country, and Dublin -is the capital. - -The northern part of Ireland is still under the government of England. -The County Galway, wherein John's village stood, belongs to the Free -State. - - [Illustration: A SCHOOL WHERE THEY TEACH THE IRISH LANGUAGE] - -Policemen on the streets of Dublin wear caps with silver harps on their -visors. You know that the harp is the symbol of Ireland, and it is used -on the new flag of the Irish Free State. - -Dublin is a quaint and ancient city. There are few automobiles on the -streets. - -One sees many jaunting cars, which are funny little high carts with a -seat on each side and big wheels. People sit with their legs hanging -over the sides, while the driver sits up on the high box and drives an -old thin horse. - - [Illustration: A JAUNTING CAR] - -There are also many bicycles whirling along in Dublin. - -Children seem to be everywhere. Some look very poor, indeed. Some beg -the wealthy people for money. There are many beggars. They crouch beside -buildings and on the steps of churches. John and his fair guide visited -Phoenix Park in Dublin. After Yellowstone Park in the United States, -Phoenix Park is the largest in the world. - - [Illustration: LOVELY LAKES IN PHOENIX PARK, DUBLIN] - -It is very beautiful, too. It has a fine zoo, and lovely lakes, walks, -and drives. - - [Illustration: PHOENIX PARK, DUBLIN] - -The Royal Hibernian Military School in Phoenix Park is used by the Free -State Irish Speaking Union as a school to teach the Irish language to -young men. - -They visited St. Patrick's College where a large number of students -attend. This is a fine old college. - - [Illustration: ST. PATRICK'S COLLEGE, DUBLIN] - -They left Dublin after seeing everything of interest there. They left in -a drizzling rain in Marjorie's big white motor car. It had been brought -to them from the flying field to Dublin. It seemed to John that things -were always being brought to Marjorie in a magical way. And why not? -Marjorie was a fairy! Now they motored to the Vale of Avoca. - -This is the beautiful woodland spot where Tom Moore, the Irish poet, -wrote much of his poetry. - - [Illustration: THE COUNTRY OF TOM MOORE] - -His famous words are: - - "There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet - As the vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet." - - - - -CHAPTER IX - -WANDERING - - - "Over hill, over dale, - Through bush, through brier, - Over park, over pale, - Through flood, through fire, - I do wander everywhere." - --WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE - -While John traveled with his good fairy, his mother and father sat -before their fireside. They talked for hours about the lad's good -fortune. - -Of course Shaun explained to his wife that the girl was no fairy. He -told Dawn O'Day that she was Marjorie, the baby Princess, for whom he -had worked so long ago. - -Dawn O'Day was pleased to think how much her boy was learning. She -loved to think that some day little John might be a great, wise man. - -And the boy was indeed learning, and seeing all manner of wonders. -Together he and Marjorie visited the Giant's Causeway, which is in the -northern part of Ireland. The Giant's Causeway is a very remarkable -place. - -It is supposed to have been made by the giants of old. It is believed by -some that the queer rocks were built by giants. These great monsters -were trying to make a great bridge across the water to join Ireland and -Scotland. - -Of course this is only a fairy tale. But those huge, queer rocky forms -do look as though giants had built them. - -The water roars up to the shore and often splashes over those strange, -tall rocks. They are probably the result of a terrible eruption by some -volcano, or fire mountain, years ago. - -The rocks form many peculiar shapes. There is the Giant's Organ--a group -of immense rocks resembling a mighty organ. - -There is the Wishing Chair, a single column backed by higher ones. It -forms a very comfortable chair. And they tell you that if you make a -wish there, it will come true. But never must you speak that wish aloud. - - [Illustration: THE WISHING CHAIR] - -There is a well of clear, fresh water within a few feet of the Atlantic -Ocean. - -There is the gate which stands as the gate to Giant Land. - - [Illustration: THE GATE TO GIANT LAND] - -There are the Giant's Eyeglass, the Chimney Tops, the Loom, and other -forms of great size made of these strange rocks. It is no wonder that -the people think of giants, when looking at them. - - [Illustration: THE GIANT'S EYEGLASS] - -The little boy and his guide visited the mountain of Crough Patrick, one -of the sacred places of Ireland. - -It is where St. Patrick stood when he banished all snakes and other -reptiles from Ireland. This is supposed to have happened in the year 450 -A.D. - -St. Patrick imprisoned all creeping things in a deep canyon and kept -them there. When he was ready to destroy them, he stood upon the summit -of the mountain with a bell in his hand. - -He stood there and rang that bell. And each time he rang that bell -thousands of snakes and other creeping creatures went tumbling into the -sea. - -In Ireland to-day there are no snakes, toads, or poisonous reptiles. The -people believe that it is because St. Patrick destroyed them all, many -years ago. - -In July many pilgrims climb to this mountain. They pray there to St. -Patrick. - -John and Marjorie went to the Lakes of Killarney. These are perhaps the -best known lakes in all the world. Songs and poems have been written -about their beauty. - -There are three lakes. Each one has a peculiar beauty of its own. The -lakes lie between mountains like brilliant diamonds glistening in an -emerald setting. - -They tell a legend in Killarney. They say that once no lakes were there -at all. One man living there had a magic well. If he always kept the -well covered, no harm would come. - -But one night somebody came to the well for water and forgot to cover -it. The next morning a great flood had swallowed up the land. The town -was completely under water. - -Sometimes, the natives say, one can still see, at the bottom of the -lakes, this old town with the same old well. The Irish do love to be -telling tales of magic. - -Blarney Castle is noted for the famous Blarney Stone. It is said that -those who kiss the Blarney Stone forever afterward possess the art of -flattery and beautiful speech. - - [Illustration: BLARNEY CASTLE] - -You have often heard people say, "You must have kissed the Blarney -Stone!" - -People who make many compliments are sometimes accused of kissing the -Blarney Stone. - -Nor is it an easy object to kiss! John O'Day and Marjorie climbed to the -top of Blarney Castle. There the old stone hangs from the top of the -battlements. It lies in a peculiar position. - -John lay flat and thrust his head down about three feet through an -opening. He then twisted his neck in order to kiss the precious stone. A -guard held his feet. - -It was a wise thing to do, for it is over a hundred feet to the ground -below! It would be a terrible fall! - -As they traveled, they passed beautiful green country. They saw many -pigs and many donkey carts. - - [Illustration: THEY PASSED DONKEY CARTS] - -In every village they found a war memorial. Some of these memorials -stand in the center of the town. Some are very large and beautiful. -Others are small. But all mean the same thing. Ireland lost many -soldiers in the Great War. - - [Illustration: A WAR MEMORIAL IN EVERY VILLAGE] - -They found few fruits growing in Ireland. Gooseberries are plentiful, -and they ate many. - -Marjorie found the Irish peasants friendly and kind. Several times they -stopped for the night in farmhouses. - -The people told Marjorie many wonderful tales as she sat before their -firesides. They were very much surprised to find the girl traveling -about alone with a young child. - -But she only laughed in her easy way, as the old women said, "God be -praised, but American girls do be knowing no fear!" - -Marjorie always made John go to bed right after dinner. The little boy -was tired from his long day's travels. He was tired, too, with seeing -and hearing so many new things. So he did not hear the people talking at -night. He still believed his girl fairy was one of the Good People. - -One day they were stopping in a small village. Marjorie left John alone -with the car and went into a shop to buy some cakes. - -A group of little boys came over to the car. Their eyes were very -curious, indeed. - -They began to talk to John. When they heard his accent they knew at once -that he was Irish. - -One boy said, "'Tis surely a rich American lady driving the automobile?" - -John looked at him in a pitying manner. "And don't you know a fairy when -you see one?" he asked. - -The boys' mouths opened. They stared at John. - -Then one boy came close to John and cried out, "Arrah, 'tis no fairy, at -all, at all! 'Tis an American lady from across the seas!" - -John faced the boy. There was a frown on his face. - -"You'll not be standing there saying that again!" he said. "'Tis herself -is one of the Good People!" - -The boy laughed again. "Och, you know well she is no fairy!" - -"She is!" yelled John. - -"She is not!" shrieked the boy. - -John rolled up his sleeves. He hit the boy. - -When Marjorie came out of the shop she found her young friend in a -fierce battle. She separated the boys and thrust John into the car. He -was waving his arms and shouting. - -Marjorie jumped into the driver's seat. She started the car, and off -they went. - - [Illustration: SHE SEPARATED THE BOYS] - -John's clothing was torn. He was bruised. The boy with whom he had -fought was larger than he. But John knew that he had left the other boy -as bruised and torn as he was himself. So he smiled. - -Marjorie drove for a while in silence. - -Then she asked, "John, why did you fight?" - -John told her the reason. She bit her lip and was silent again. - -Then she said, "John, how do you know that I am a fairy?" - -The little boy answered promptly, "Because I was after calling the -fairies that day by the lake. And because I did take off my petticoat -and put on the clothes of a boy." - -"Do you believe that was the reason I took you away?" asked Marjorie. - -"I do," answered John firmly. "And," he continued, "if I had been in the -petticoats of a girl, you would never have noticed me at all." - -"Why?" Marjorie queried. - -"Sure, and the Good People do be wanting the boys to work for -themselves. They'll not be noticing girls, and they so weak!" John -answered. - -Marjorie frowned. Then she said, "But I have not made you work." - -John looked at her quickly and replied, "Och, no! But 'tis willing I am -to work for you now. Only--" He hesitated. - -"Only what, John?" asked the girl. - -"I'll not be wanting to stay away forever from my mother and father," -was the reply. - -Marjorie put an arm about his shoulder. - -"Do you know that we are almost at your home now?" She laughed gayly. -"Look about you!" - -The little boy was amazed to see that they really had returned. They -were on the same dusty road whence they had started their trip so many -days ago. - -Marjorie drew the car up to the side of the road and stopped it. - -"Now you may jump out and run home to your mother and father," she -said. - -John O'Day just stood and stared at her. - -"And you'll not be asking me to work at all?" he questioned, with -wondering eyes. - -Marjorie shook her head and smiled. - -"Och," cried the boy, "but I want to do something for you!" - -Marjorie stroked his hand and replied softly, "It is not necessary, -Shauneen. Your father did so very much for me many years ago. I am glad -that I can now give his son a little happiness." - -"And will you not be coming back again to the lake, good fairy?" asked -John. - -Marjorie's smile faded as she answered, "Shauneen, I am not a fairy. You -must believe that. I shall come back to the lake to see you. But I shall -come to bid you good-bye, for I am going back to America." - -For a moment John was almost going to believe her. His throat felt -choky. Then suddenly he shook his head and laughed aloud. - -"Sure, 'tis not so at all, at all!" he laughed. "There's not a girl in -all the world as beautiful as you. There's not a girl in all the world -so good and kind, Faireen. Och, no! Not even the girls from the land of -America! 'Tis indeed the fairy you are!" - -The little boy climbed out of the car. He saw a shamrock growing by the -side of the road. He ran and picked it. He gave it to Marjorie. Then he -kissed her hand and ran as fast as he could. - - [Illustration: THEN HE KISSED HER HAND] - -He left the girl staring after him in real amazement. So he would not -believe her! He thought that she was a fairy! Ah, well, she must -certainly show him in some way that what she told him was true. - -She did not want to leave Ireland and feel that she had deceived the -boy. Still, she loved to think that he believed her to be a fairy. - -It was a beautiful dream to John. She did not like to disturb that -beautiful dream. Puzzled, she shook her head as she started her car. -Then she was off, down the dusty road. - - - - -CHAPTER X - -BECAUSE HE IS IRISH - - - "I cannot see fairies. - I dream them. There is no fairy can hide from me. - I keep on dreaming till I find them." - --HILDA CONKLIN - -John O'Day walked slowly through the village. He walked through the -village because he wanted all the boys to see his fine suit. - -The fine suit was a bit torn and soiled from the fight he had had. Still -John was proud of it. - -He went home by way of the village. He did not go by way of the lake. As -he walked down the village street, the people stared at him. - -"And where are you going, John O'Day?" called one boy. - -"Sure, I'm not going," answered the little lad. "I'm after coming back -from where I was!" - -He marched along. They all stood with staring eyes and watched him. - -He came to the cottage of his parents, and when they saw him they were -delighted. - -Of course, John told his mother and father everything. - -He tried to tell it all before he went to bed. But the evening was too -short and his tale too long. He was fairly bursting with the great trip -he had had. - -He even had a tale of wonder for his wee sister. He held her on his -knee while he told about the big zoo in Dublin. - -"Sure, and there's every kind of animal there," he went on, his eyes -flashing. "Sure, I was after seeing a terrible, big creature. 'Twas an -elephant they called it. And 'tis a square animal with a tail in front -of it and a tail behind it!" - -"Glory be!" cried his mother. - -Shaun smiled behind his pipe. The baby gurgled. - -The older brother pretended that he was not very much interested. He -was, though. He was greatly excited with John's tales. - -Then his father said, "But, Johneen, you do not really believe that -your guide was a fairy?" - -"Sure, and the best one in all fairyland," answered John stoutly. - -Shaun scratched his head thoughtfully. - -"Och, Johneen," he said, "you do not believe that surely." - -But John answered, "I do!" - -Shaun then drew the boy over to his chair. He took John on his lap. - -"Listen, son," he said. - -He told the child the same thing that Marjorie had told him. He told -John that Marjorie was really a girl from America. - -But John replied as he had replied to Marjorie in the car. He said that -there could not be a girl so lovely and kind as she. He insisted that -Marjorie could only be a fairy! - -Several days went by. John told everyone in the village about his trip. -He talked of nothing else. He had gone to the lake day after day, but -the girl fairy had never appeared. - -He did not give up hope, however. He felt she would keep her promise and -come again to see him. - -Then one day little John received a package and a letter. In the package -were several beautiful books. He asked his father to read the letter to -him. - -Shaun read: - -"Dear Shauneen: To-morrow I am coming to the lake to say good-bye to -you. Please be there. Marjorie." - -Shaun folded the letter and gave it back to his son. - -Then he said, "You see, she is an American girl. Her father and mother -are going to take her back to America. They brought her over, and they -also bought her that car. They arranged for her to take you on that fine -trip. Don't you see now that she surely is not a fairy?" - -But John did not answer. He shook his head stubbornly. Suddenly Shaun -had an idea. - -He said, "I must show you then." He put his two hands on the boy's -shoulders and looked into his eyes. "To-morrow," he said, "when you go -to meet her at the lake you must wear the red petticoat!" - -John looked frightened. - -He cried, "Och, father, she'll not be talking to me at all--and I in -girl's clothes!" - -Shaun said, "Sure, that is just what she will do. She'll know you well. -She'll talk to you. Then you will believe at last that she is no fairy!" - -The morning came. John dressed as usual in his red petticoat. He took -the books that Marjorie had sent him and ran to the lake. He was there -with the first birds. He was there with the sleepy sun. - -The sleepy sun was just waking up. But John O'Day had been awake for -many hours. He had been so very much awake with his thoughts. - -He thought and thought about Marjorie. He wondered and wondered whether -Marjorie would recognize him. If she should speak to him, he would know -that she really was a girl. He would know that she was not a fairy. - -If she passed him by, he would be sure that she was a real fairy. Oh, he -felt so sure that she was a fairy! - -But at the same time he wondered just a little bit why she tried to make -him believe she was not. Was it because the Good People do not want -folks to be talking about them? - -Maybe it was that. They like to give happiness to people. But they do -not want people knowing that it is they giving the happiness. - -They do not ask thanks. They do not look for praise. The Good People -are modest. - -But soon John would know about his lovely friend. She would soon appear -and look for him. If she passed him by, his heart would beat with joy. -He would know then. - -And he would call out to her, "It is I! It is your Shauneen! Do you not -know me?" - -Then she would stop and he would laugh at her and jolly her. - -He would say, "You could not be fooling me, good fairy. Isn't it myself -knows a fairy when I see one?" - -He chuckled to himself. She should not be fooling John O'Day! - -He opened one of the lovely books which Marjorie had sent him. He began -to look at it. It was a beautiful book with colored pictures in it. It -had grand pictures of cities in it. - -There were pictures of Irish cities and French cities and American -cities. - -John grew so interested in looking at the pictures that he did not hear -a step behind him. He did not see Marjorie standing behind him. She was -smiling down at him as he sat all wrapped in joy and delight. - - [Illustration: SHE WAS SMILING DOWN AT HIM] - -He was remembering his trip through the cities whose pictures he now -looked at in a book. He was in Dublin again. He had jumped right into -the book and was believing that he could hear the dull sounds of the -city. He was believing that he could see the many people and cars and -curious sights. - -Marjorie watched him for a few moments. She knew John O'Day, though he -wore a girl's petticoat. She had come to bid him good-bye, for she was -leaving for her own country. - -But she could not disturb him as he sat there. She could not disturb -John O'Day while at his books. Nor could she disturb his dreams. - -She knew well that if she spoke to him now, he would know that she was -not a fairy. He had told her that "fairies do not be speaking to girls," -and Marjorie could not disturb the little boy's beautiful dream of her. - -So she scribbled a note and left it on a flat rock. The note told John -that she had come and gone. It said that Marjorie was sorry she had not -seen her Shauneen again. But she left him with his dream of her. - -When John lifted his head and heart out of the pages of that grand book, -he stood up and looked about. He saw the letter and opened it. - -Of course he could not read it, but he found something else with the -letter which he kissed. It was the picture of his girl fairy. She had -left it there. - -And now John O'Day knew that she had come and gone. - - [Illustration: IT WAS THE PICTURE OF HIS GIRL FAIRY] - -Thought he, "She did not know the little figure in the red petticoat was -her friend Shauneen! No; she did not notice this little girl at all, at -all. Fairies do not be speaking to little girls." - -She had gone. But she had left behind her the picture of a girl fairy. -She had left that picture on a flat rock. - -And she had left it, too, in the Irish heart of John O'Day, who had the -dreams of his country. - -Marjorie will always remember the little boy. She will go back to -America and always remember the boy who called her a good fairy. She -will try really to be a good fairy because of that. - -She will not think so much about herself any more. But she will try to -give pleasure to others because of the pleasure she finds in doing it. - -And as John O'Day grows older, perhaps he will find out the truth about -Marjorie. But he will always be wanting to believe that she was a girl -fairy, even if he finds that she was not. - -He will always want to keep his dreams, because he is Irish. - - [Illustration: HE WILL ALWAYS KEEP HIS DREAMS] - - - - -Transcriber's Notes: - - -Italic text is denoted by _underscores_. - -Obvious punctuation errors are corrected. - -Illustrations have been rearranged to better match the story. - -On p. 152, a printing error was corrected. In the quote from -Shakespeare, the book reads "Though flood, through fire,". This has been -corrected to "Through flood". - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's Shaun O'Day of Ireland, by Madeline Brandeis - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SHAUN O'DAY OF IRELAND *** - -***** This file should be named 41015-8.txt or 41015-8.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/4/1/0/1/41015/ - -Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Joke Van Dorst and the -Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
