Picture Play Magazine (Sep 1919 - Feb 1920)

Picture-Play Magazine — Advertising Section 101 The Fighting Colleen Continued from page 48 photographs flashed before her eyes. She turned upon him breathlessly. "You're Stanton!" The other candidate for mayor smiled and bowed. And at that moment, Jimmy Meehan entered. He had trailed his sweetheart to this house and with the jealous lover's instinct had guessed whom she came to see. He, too, had asked for Mr. 2726. Jimmy was not seeing the thick carpets or the hangings. His Irish eyes were snapping with anger. He walked across the floor and shook his fist at the next mayor. "No fellow can take me girl away from me without a foight !" The amazed Stanton looked down at the scrappy little Irishman. He stared for several moments in bewilderment, then the explanation dawned upon him. His friendly eyes twinkled. He turned to the plucky little colleen, standing so bravely in her shabbiness on his thick velvet carpets. There was no laughter in his voice. It was respectful, serious. He spoke to the angry Jimmy. "That, sir, depends upon the lady. We will leave it to her. And may the best man win." The two looked gravely at Puggy, the tall, well-tailored man, the shabby little newsvender. Puggy's honest Irish eyes never wavered. "I'll have to tell you, Mr. 2726, sure, 'tis no chance at all that you have with me. I — I— sure, 'tis Jimmy I love." And, good sport that he was, the next mayor bowed as gravely as any discarded lover. He turned an unsmiling face to Jimmy. "Jimmy Meehan," he said, "you are a lucky fellow." Jimmy knew it, he had known it long ago, from the first moment that the terror of Cobblestone Alley had fought him right into loving her. He could not be a bit surer of his luck even when he heard that Colby Stanton was going to give both him and Puggy an education and a running start in life — just having Puggy was enough for an Irish lover. But he was grateful and when the crowds outside Stanton's house on election night burned red torches and shouted madly for the new mayor, Jimmy and Puggy, watching it all from the inside, held hands a little tighter and cheered for Mr. 2726.
