O'Hara's Godchild (1913)
Tom O'Grady rushes into the O'Haras' one evening to announce the arrival of a son, and Denis O'Hara and his sister Mary go over to see the baby; there and then Denis is informed that he is to stand godfather for him. The christening takes place amidst great feasting, but as time passes and ill-luck comes to Tom, owing to a slack season, he is discharged from the steel works where he is employed and cannot get another job. O'Grady and Sullivan seem to think that this is his own fault and are always nagging at him. He gets an offer to go to Pittsburgh, but when he asks help from his father and father-in-law to get there, they both refuse it and declare that he should remain in New York, and when he persists in taking the place, going there with money furnished by O'Hara, they refuse to speak to him or say goodbye. For a while, all goes well, and then Tom is stricken with a fever and loses his job, and they are at the point of starvation, Aileen even pawning her wedding ring for food. Tom is too proud to write to his relations and will not let Aileen do so. At last Aileen writes to Nora and tells her troubles. Nora goes to O'Hara. The moment he and his sister hear of the trouble, they get together all their little savings and Denis starts for Pittsburgh. He reaches there on Christmas Eve, and enters Tom's wretched home like a gleam of sunshine. Tom regains strength and on New Years Day, O'Hara brings him with Aileen and the baby home. He invites Sullivan and O'Grady to his house and when they see their son, daughter, and grandson, their hearts melt, and the New Year begins with a family reunion and good fellowship, with Denis as the presiding genius.
