The Patsy
by Barry Conners

The story concerns Patricia Harrington, a girl who "runs second" to her older sister.

She is the patsy who is blamed whenever anything goes wrong, and is forced to remain in the background in order that her sister may be presentd to advantage.

Her father, a traveling man, is on her side, and finally declares his independence by putting Ma in her proper place.

This brings about Patsy's ultimate triumph, and, needless to say, affords her happiness as the bride of the man she loves.
