sTo BE coNTINUED.J
FOR AN uNsPoKEN SPEECH.

The Irish Patriot Jailed for Words He
Didn't Say.
A member Of the Land league was
sent from Dublin to a'certain district to
get up q meeting and make q speech.
says the New York Journal.
& On reaching the town where the meet
ing was to be held the speech-maker
met q friend. and. both being genial
fellows. they retired to public house
and had something. Then they began
talking over old-time "reminiscences,
and the first thing the land-leaguer
knew was that the attendant had come
in to light the lamp.
Great goodness!' he said, 81 was
sent down from Dublin to get UP q
meeting here and now It is too late.''
e oh, well. It doesn't matter. said the
other.
Eyes. but 1t does matter" said the
organizer. Il have to report to my SUE
perior that the meeting was held"
"oh. that's all right g said his friend.
Here. you write out q speech and
will send It to the local papers, which
will print It just az IL the meeting was
held. Then the people IN Dublin won't
know the difference.
q This was quickly done and the speech
that was never delivered appeared next
day In the papers. " Il
The fun Of the thing. comes In over
the fact that the Lacquer was arrested
and was sentenced to four months in
Jail for q speech that he never deliv-
cred, at q meeting that was never held.

surprise and considerable amusement.
It was dated from next door, and was
handed In by the red-headed page after
breakfast.
Dear Miss Ida." began this curious
document. and then relapsed suddenly
into the third person. ''Mr. Charles
Westmacott hopes that he may have
the pleasure Of ride with Miss Ida
Walker upon his tandem tricycle.. Mr..
Charles Westmacott will bring It round
In half an hour. You in front. Yours
very truly. Charles Westmacott." The
whole was written in a large, loose
jointed and schoolboyish hand, very
thin on the up strokes and thick on the
down, as though care and pains had
gone to the fashioning Of 1t.
Strange as was the form, the mean
ing was clear enough; 80 Ida FASTENED
to her room. and had hardly slipped on
her light grey cycling dress when she
saw the tandem with its large occupant
at the door. He handed her up to her
saddle with more solemn and thought
ful face than was usual with him, and
few moments later they were flying
along the beautiful, smooth suburban
roads in the direction Of Forest Hill.
The great limbs of the athlete made the
heavy machine spring and CULVER with
every stroke: while the mignon grey
figure with the laughing face. and the
golden curls blowing from under the
little pink-banded straw hat. simply
held firmly to her perch. and let the
treadles whirl round beneath
her feet. Mile after mile
they flew, the wind beat
ing in her face, the trees dancing past
in two long ranks on either side, until
they had passed round Croydon and
were approaching Norwood once more
from the further side.

Not much. These are they who toll not.
neither do they spin. These are they
who gather where they have not
Sstrewn, who reap where they have not
sown, who get while they do not pro-
duce, who curse and burden those who

classes who, since history has chroni-

have wrecked and ruined the mighty

bleaching bones strew the highways Of

sham moneyed aristocracy, jealous Of

Gods children their birthright to nat

are those who add nothing to advanced
civilization to live like princes on the,

methods. One is land speculation. One

One is by owning light plants. One il

lizing lines of business which should

poration should do any Of these things
