210 WILLY BURKE; OR, be heard speaking ill of Mr. Weimar (even if he had been such as they said, which he was not) for he has left us independent". " How is that?" " He has left me five thousand dollars". " You don't say so, Willy ?" " But I do, Peter". " Why, how in the world did it happen that he took such a fancy to you ?" dignant amazement. inquired the elder brother, in in- " Well, I 'm sure I don't know", said the younger, with a blushing face ; " Mr. Talbot can tell you all about it a great deal better than I can. There 's one thing to be said, at any rate, that I can tell you. It was Dawson and myself who found poor Weimar lying on the street (for we saw him receive the fatal blow), and we were present at his death. It was I, too, that went for the priest for him, and I believe he thought that the best of all". " Keally", said Peter, his countenance darkening as he spoke, " I can't help admiring your good fortune. Five thousand dollars ! and you not seventeen yet. What in the world will you do with it all ? But then I suppose you '11 get so purse-proud on our hands that you '11 not speak to your poor relations". " Now, Peter ! its very unkind of you to talk so", said Willy, the tears starting in his eyes. " Sure, won't you have the half of what I intend keeping of it ? I 'm going to leave four hundred dollars in the bank for each of the girls ; and Mr. Talbot says, that by the time they 're grown up it will be a good deal more for them, by means of the interest lying over. The two hundred dollars that

I think it will be best for us to leave it in the bank till we 're a few years older, and then we '11 have it to commence some business. Don't you think that 's the best thing to do, Peter ?" But Peter could not speak for some moments. This generosity on the part of his brother touched his heart, and opened it to better feelings. During the few minutes that he remained silent, his memory rapidly ran over the numberless instances wherein, during the last few years, he had outraged and afflicted his brother ; he thought how he had treated his fraternal counsels with scorn and contempt, and how he had trampled on the love of their early years ; and, above all, how he had deserted the Church that Willy loved so well, and ranged himself with her enemies, at least he had all but done this ; and now, to see that brother—so wronged, so disgraced, so outraged—bestow upon him, in return, the half of his little fortune ; truly, it was more than Peter could bear : the long buried affection of early youth burst forth again, and when he clasped his brother's hand, and murmured,, M God bless you, Willy ! God bless you !" that brother felt that a change—a mighty change—had passed over his spirit, and he said within himself— " I thank thee, God ! I thank and bless thee ; thy gift has, indeed, regained for me the long- lost affection of my brother. Now, sweet Virgin Mother ! that I have succeeded so far, I know thou wilt help me in the yet more important attempt to be made!" " Well ! now that you find that I 'm not ' too proud to
