TODAY'S SHORT STORY

BUTTERFLIES |

By MARTIN ROWAN

WHEN THE PEOPLE of InnishNamon speak of Alice they sigh. Many of the older women weep. They are the most mystic people in all of Ireland. I too am of Innish-Na-Mon, but many years of residence abroad have given me a different slant on life. I can visualize the story of Alice in its true light. Unfortunate and tragic it was, I will admit, but to me. unlike the rest of Innish-Na-Mon, it had a happy ending

Alice came to Innish-Na-Mon at the age of 3 Her father was our schoolmaster. I was 10 then. She was a beautiful child. Her hair was golden, her face was like a beautiful cameo, her blue eyes sparkled with merriment and laughter It was only in later life that the realization of all this came to me. | These thoughts were like oil on] troubled waters. Then I remembered the many times she came to our house to see if I'd go to the glen to pick blackberries or to the strand to pick seashells. She'd act very solemn in the presence of the rest of our family and ask, “Is Michael in the house?" Outside, she'd look at me and laugh and shake her golden head, and say, “Ill race you to the strand, Michaeleen.™ We'd race down the strand then. and now that it is all in the dead past, I'm glad that unwittingly I had a streak of chivalry | outrun her by many yards but I al-| ways let her win. a rock and say, than you. Michaeleen.™

TO ALICE THERE was nothing] more beautiful than

say, “You are not near so bad as you make believe, Michaeleen Maybe it is how you are afraid: for you know that the butterflies are God's angels and when we die they'll fiy with our souls to hea-| ven.” | When I left for Australia, Alice| was at the station to say goodby.| Tears streamed down her cheeks as the train approached. “Whatever happens, Michaeleen,” she said, “do. not forget Innish-Na-Mon or the butterflies.” i “I will never forget Innish-Na-| Mon or the butterfiies—or you | Alice” I said. and I stopped and] Kissed her. It is many a year since then but when I learned long after of the tragedy that had come to Alice I was glad I had spoken these words, @ £ 4

IT WAS THREE years later tha! my mother told me in a letter that Alice had married Niall O'Donnell | who was about my own age. Even | that young he was captain of the] fishing fleet of Innish-Ullre on ac-| count of his skill and courage. I was glad for Alice and Niall and it! was only then I discovered that I had lost something that was very! dear to me. | Shortly after this I went prospecting for gold; and much as I re-| gret to have to admit it, there were] times when I lapsed into the rough | ways of harsh men whose harshness! was but a shell and who sought ad-| venture and gold to soothe the tur-| moil of their souls because they had| lost some treasure that all the wealth of the world could not buy. Thirty years later I had amassed the material wealth that I sought| but my health was shattered and] there was no peace in my mind. It| was then, in the summertime, that I came home to Innish-Na-Mon to spend the few years that might be left to me. _ It was then that I was given the full details of Alice's story. Niall was drowned in the great fishing disaster on the reef of Innish Ira seven gears after Alice and he were married. He left her with four young sons. Twelve years later the two clder boys were drowned on the same reef. The two younger sons were killed in the Dublin past office the week of the uprising. It was then that Alice lost her mind. I decided to go at once and see Alice. Before I could do so she came and stood outside our door.

“But I am crippled, Alice,” I answered. “What happened to you, Michaeleen?” she asked. “What did they do to your hair? The other day it was black and like silk. Now it is like the snow. What did they do to you?" “I'll race you to the tide, MichaeAlice,” I said. “Look at the butterflies, Michaeleen,” she said. “They were gone for a while, They went with Niall and the lads to Heaven. But they jare back again. It is for you and jme they are coming now, Michae‘leen,” she said and she sat beside me on the mossy bank and two great tears rolled down her cheeks.
