60 Mr. BoyleThoughtfully, half an hour later, DickBattle swung through wind and rainacross the campus and in among the bigbuildings. He considered several things,among them his mother, that typicalwoman of the South, made of charm, ofgentleness, of spirit. He could imagineher doing difficult things as Southernwomen of one more generation back didthem: defending house and children withfirearms, riding battle-fields with messages,putting through men's jobs on desertedplantations. But he could notimagine her voting. A vision rose of her,slender and young still, and a grande dameto her finger-tips" Vote—you, dear ? Never," Dick mutteredto himself as he turned into BrentHall, to the Record office.He took his place among the rest, alreadysilent and busy in the large room,and he tried to throw off a preoccupationof two personalities which met andclashed in his upset mind, his mother andthe girl. What would his mother, bornand bred in a country of strong prejudices,say when she knew that he had given hisheart to—a suffragist? Would she everbe reconciled? What would life be if hemust give up one of the two, his motheror ?He shook off the thought and turned tohis work. And with that, down the long,still corridor outside progressed a rhythmof shuffling feet; a flash of Mr. Boyle'slantern shot a gleam ahead in the darknessand the burr of his voice, like honeyand locusts, followed." ' Oi've seen th' wedclin' an' th' wake,Th' patron an' th' fair,'"sang Mr. Boyle, approaching with heavyweight dancing down the tiles, and theLaw Record board lifted heads and smiledin unison at the advent of their nightlyintermission. The mellow bass rose unhurriedly:" 'Oi've seen th' weddin' an' th' wake,Th' patron an' th' fair;Th' shtuff they take,Th' fun they make,Th' heads they breakDown there.Wid a loud halooAn' a whirlabalooAn' a thunderin' clear th' wayFer dear ol' Ireland, gay ol' Ireland,Ireland, byes, hooray.' "The last three lines were across thethreshold and the end was swamped inapplause mixed with the slamming of lawbooks."Good evenin', me distinguishedfri'nds," Mr. Boyle saluted the board asthe noise quieted. "An' how are theyoung shtatesmen this evenin'?" Mr.Boyle's greetings were not varied."First class, Mr. Boyle." HollowayByrd spoke for his team. "How areyou ? What sort of a night are you providingfor us to go out into when we getthrough?"Mr. Boyle shook his head. " 'Tis notwhat Oi'd wish for the loikes of yez," hegrieved. " 'Tis sich a noight as wud maketwo noights if noights was scarce," hestated. "But, there now, shure we can'tordher an' disordher th' firmamint as weplazes," and a shout of joy at two bonsmots in one breath encouraged him tofurther words. "An' how's th' law doin'the noight?" he inquired. "Are yezholdin' it down shtrong?""Otherwise. The law's got us by theneck this evening," the recent-decisionseditor contributed, and the board agreed."Shure 'tis a feerful shtudy th' law—'tis an exthry-ardin'ry shtudy," Mr.Boyle proffered with sympathy if notoriginality. "An' have yez rid all thimbooks this evenin'?" he inquired, gazingat perhaps thirty fat blond tomes litteringthe place. "An' now"—he picked upa calf volume, " Cook on Corporations"—"does this be th' law— 'Blanks andLate — Late — um-m — Ambi — ambibigar-rters,'"read Mr. Boyle sonorously."A dockymint—yis, sor-r. Thot's thrue.A dockymint. Oi've seen thim—dockymints!—maybe void f'r intrins-sickindefin-um-m-m—of ter-rms—ter-rums"—landing hard on an easy word—"or-r itmay be, though defineite, impossible—impossible, take notice, yez—t' enforceexthra-tin-sickly — eh ? — because therear-re no objects existing upon which itster-rms may operate? T—tt," grievedMr. Boyle.The boys waited, hoping for a comment."There, there," spoke Mr. Boyle soothinglyas if to quiet the bad temper of"Cook on Corporations." "'Tis a pity,onnyhow, 'tis fearful, th' law. An' to
Mr. Boyle 61think 'tis thot sort yez have to be makin'your livin' out of, glory be to God," Mr.Boyle concluded reverently. Whetherthe reverence accrued to deity or the lawdid not appear. "An' the fakes yez dohave to be supportin'!" he went on reflectively." Poor byes ! To be trainin'in a coorse of false shtatemints.""Now, what's this attack for?" AlanHuntington demanded. "Law is to upholdlight and truth, not falsehood; don'tyou know that? And, 'Lex non curat deminimis,' anyhow," he flung out magnificently.Mr. Boyle clucked. "Whisht! 'Tis apity to shpake black curses to wan thotwishes yez well. An' a foine young manlike yez. I mishdoubt 'tis not thrue, onnyhow,"he decided with his twinklingsmile." Not true—' Lex non curat'? It's thetruest thing in history. 'Lex non curatunum damnum' is even truer. What'sstricken your confidence in the majestyof the law to-night, Mr. Boyle?""Me confidence, is ut? Well, thin, 'tisa thing, and Oi've been considerin' ut.'Tis what I was afther readin' last noightin wan of thim books itself—thot manan' woife is wan per-rson. Domn ! 'Tisnot th' fact," and Mr. Boyle's powerfulfist came whack on "Thomas on Negligence,"lying on Alan Huntington'sdesk."Oh, that riled you, didn't it?" spokeHuntington. "But you don't really believein women's rights and hysterics atthe polls and ladies in the legislature,do you?"Mr. Boyle bent earnestly toward theyoung man and shook a threatening finger."What's thot—th' legislachure?"he demanded."The legislature?" Huntington wasstartled by the sudden conundrum. Buthe was quick-witted and his answer wasprompt. "The legislature is a representativebody elected by the people of theState.""An' be th' wimmin people?" cameback.Huntington smiled a sarcastic smilewhich narrowed his black, brilliant eyesand made his slightly hard young mouthlook older. "Well, no. In law, criminals,lunatics, and women are not people," headmitted, and watched the janitor's intenseface."Uh!" Mr. Boyle considered, laboringwith his untaught brain against theseyoung princes of intellect. And then:"Thim legislachures, do they be legislatin'for pure love of their fellow min?""No, no." Everybody was listeningto the dialogue, wondering what Mr.Boyle was getting at. "No," said youngHuntington.course?""An' by whom?""Why, by the people.""They're paid salaries, ofHuntingtonwas bored—one wasted time talking tothis old duffer too long."An' be the wimmin people, thin?"brought out Mr. Boyle, and shook a bigfinger triumphantly. " 'Tis no need toask, whin there's payin' or wor-rk to do.Wimmin are the people for thim things.'Tis the droll wurrold," commented Mr.Boyle, and the board vigorously upheldthe victory of the pickaxe against theforty-two-centimetre gun."He's got you, Huntington, he's gotyou fair," Cass Emory shouted. Flushedwith success, Mr. Boyle went on."'Tis droll, argifyin'. Oi've heard twoways about ut, an' Oi've read two waysabout ut on more than siveral p'ints,an', however you go at ut, 'tis proved thotwimmin won't do. 'Tis said they're toofoine an' honor-rable to be p'luted wid th'votin'; 'tis also said they've no sinse ofhonor whativer and couldn't be thrustedwid a vote. 'Tis said they'd all vote whotway their min voted; 'tis also said they'dvote against their min an' make roits intofamilies; 'tis said they'd not take anyintris' in votin'; 'tis fear-red thot all thday long they'd be votin' and votin' an'interruptin' their homes. Niver in meloife have I hear-rd so many reasons on somany sides of a thrubble, an' all ag'instit. Yez can't be sint to jail f'r ut—'tisno crime exactly, bein' a woman, but 'tisa dishgrace," finished Mr. Boyle, andflashed a blue glance over the roomful oflads and plunged it like a sword into theblack look of Alan Huntington."Bless your soul, Mr. Boyle," Byrd,editor in chief, spoke, "they'd have youon the stump at a large salary if theyheard you talk down at the Woman'sNational Suffrage Headquarters.
