 A charming note has just been received, answering in another way my question of Wednesday concerning the significance of "Coming Thro' the Rye.'' The writer furnishes the highest authority for the theory that crossing the stream Rye is the correct explanation. quote part Of her note, and thank her very sincerely for that portion of it which my modesty forbids my publishing:

One of the accepted answers was the one referred to above. l remember, it's writer drew very pretty picture of laddie, with his slowly moving herd, who chanced to meet in mid-stream the lassie he loved the best, and how he claimed the right to kiss her before the last one of his cows had quenched her thirst in the shallow, but picturesque Rye.''
 This comes from woman whose broad culture and thorough education make her indisputable authority on such subjects.
