The announcement of the engagement
OF young Lord Stavordale, eldest son and
helr OF the Earl of Leicester, reminds me
OF the romance that attended the mar
riage of another Lord StavordaIe. saws a
writer in the Chicago Record. | think it
was the uncle of the present earl
The Lord Leicester OF that day received
a letter signed Standish O'Grady and
dated from Cappercullen, County Liner
lex, very respectfully asking him to get
ms son, Lord StaVordale, whose regiment
was stationed in the neghborhood trans
terred to some other paFt,o the country
Mr.. OGrady declared that the young lord
was paying a great deal OF attention to
MS daughter. Feeling sure that the young
soldier would not be allowed to marry her
and that the girls happiness would suffer
seriously if the hopeless affair We're al
lowed to proceed further, he courteouslv
asked the earl's Intervention. In reply
Lord Leicester wrote his warmest thanks
Tor the timely warning. said that he
would take his son away, and that he
mad commissioned great friend of his
a Col. Prendergast, to call upon Mr.
OGrady to convey his thanks DersOnaIlv
Col Prendergast called and proven such
a charming old fellow that Mr. O'Cirady
VINO was an Impoverished Irish gentle
man OF excellent family, invited him to
stay week. The old colonel spent most
of his time in the beautiful Miss O'Grady's
company. When he was going away he
said to his host:
Il don't think that Miss O'Gradv Is AT
all well. She needs a change
1t isn't that" replied her father. Il
may tell you in confidence she is still
pining for that young Stavordale' -
Il will tell Lord Iichester,'' exclaimed
Col. Predergast Il am sure he will be
proud to have Miss O'Grady for daugh-
ter-in-law."
OGrady entreated him not to do So
feeling sense of delicacy as well as of
characteristic pride in the matter
The colonel persisted that he had good
reason to know that Lord Leicester would
only be too pleased to welcome Miss
OGrady as a daughter-in-law. Her
father asked why.
Why, because I'm Lord leicester my

Needless to add that the lovers were
married.

that Senator Irby had not been feeling
