Today's Short Story—

MAN OR MOUSE?

* By MARTHA ROWAN

MALACHI CLANCY was a man .of few words. There was no more silent man in all Cloosheen Bawn. There was hardly a more silent man in all Ireland. But in his youth there was no more talkative lad in the four provinces. Even after he met Sally Doocey, Malachi Clancy was still a happy lad. He was a youth of 22 then. Sally, who was 35 if she was a day, had matrimonial ideas. Malachi . was young and a novice in the arts .of Cupid. Gabby people said that that was not here nor there and that Sally had cut more than one set of eye teeth on shattered romances. The upshoot of the affair was that Malachi Clancy married Sally Doocey—or vice versa. Shortly after the marriage Sally set out to remcdel Malachi. Maybe it was a proud spirit of possession, or perhaps it was a motherly instinct, but whether it was one or the other, she assumed a proprietary attitude never before witnessed in Cloosheen Bawn between married couples. The way Cloosheen ‘Bawn described the calamity was that Sally had a ring in Malachi’s nose.

IN THE EARLIER days of the marriage when they attended dances together and Malachi would tell a fairy tale while there was a lull in the dance everybody except Sally would enjoy the story and laugh. Not so Sally. She weuld assume a stern demeanor and say, “Malachi, that’s enough now. That foolish talk.” : Malachi’s face would redden. The audience would nudge one another. Malachi could not help but notice this and it hurt him deeply. Then Malachi would sing a song '—and his voice was as sweet as the ° lark in the dawn of the morning— and Sally would look at him as soon; as he had finished the first verse and say, “Stop now, Malachi. One verse is enough.” Malachi would

stop. So it was no wonder that he began to avoid dances and people and walk alone by himself, so that after a few years all he would do was bid you the time of day and answer “Yes” or “No” to a question. That was not all the trouble that - beset Malachi Clancy. Sally began to get delusions. She went around telling the neighbors that she was feeling delicate, although she weighed well over 200 pounds and had an appetite like a healthy mule. The outcome of this was that Sally stopped doing the little that a sensible woman should do around the house, such as bringing in the pail of water from the well and the armful of turf from the stack. Malachi, himself, did all these household chores. He never complained, for he was a peaceful man. 2 2 ”

' THE PEOPLE of Cloosheen Bawn noticed this and between themselves they often wondered why Malachi did not take to drink. There came a day when Malachi was working in the field and for some reason or another the cloud did not peep up over the hill, so that the shower caught him unbeknown and he headed for Larry O’Toole’s house ‘which was no more than five hundred yards away. Before he reached it he was soaked to the skin. Larry, |« ; and his wife, Nancy, and their in- ow, Joe i nq bring-the Water fant son, Larry Beag, were there!

When the bottle was empty Malachi arose to go. “It is how it is raining heavy yet,” said Nancy. “That will do me no harm at all, Nancy,” Malachi said. “I am wet already.
