ment to Madge had first been announc-
ed. There was no real necessity for
his working. but he liked to consider
himself useful, and in two years he
had become invaluable to his employer.
Now he found some refuge from his
thoughts in hard work. and until the
cable came announcing the safe arrival
of Madge and her mother he had al
most convinced himself that he had
forgotten.
He had forwarded the cablegram to
Mr.. Carline, rejoicing in their safe ar

They had their chat, but Brian was Ill
at ease The more Mrs. Carlne dues-
toned him regarding his presence In
London the more uneasy he became,
and he was glad when at last he could
find an excuse to retire.
He had the unpleasant knowledge
that he had Numbered somehow. In
some way that cablegram had been

error in it, but he could not mag

farm he consulted former college
chum who had become an architect
about plans for his house.
What You want, George" said the
architect is something ON EIizabethan
lines"
All right" said AIDE Build it on
the Lizzie plan if you want to, but
make it broad, roomy and comfortable.
And make it big enough SO | can take
care of four or five OF l:y pals ut once
without having TO put any of them in
the barn"
And that was the way it was built.
Mr. Adc is no amateur at farming
He started as a farmer and as a hu-
morist quite early. The postmaster at
Kcntllnd, Ind, where the author of
"Fablcs In Slang" and The College
Widow was born in 1856, is quoted as
saying. He was considered the best
story teller we had in town, and | have
heard it said that he could milk cow
quicker than anybody else in the neigh
borhood"
Speaking Of his early days on farm,
Mr.. AIDE once told story of a little
boy who on seeing pan of warm,
freshly drawn milk inquired where the
cows got it.
where do you get your tears?" was
the reply.
Gee" exclaimed the youngstcr. "Do
you have to spank the cows:'
Nj AIDE was newspaper writer on
the funny side Of life, and the transit
ton from a newspaper humorist to a
comic opera lihrettist was easy.

Although Foote undoubtedly enjoyed
his reputation as the greatest wit of
his day, he was quick to recognize and
appreciate wit in others.
On one occasion when passing by
the kings bench his attention was at
tracted by a BARRIERS shop, the owner
Of which, not being able to pay for
new glass in several panes which had
been broken before his occupancy, had
substituted paper ones for them. Over
the shop door was written this inscrip-
ton:
Here lives Jeremy Wright
Shaves as well as any man in England,
almost
Not quite.
Foote, after laughing well over the
sign, became convinced that the owner
must be an eccentric but not a stupid
person. He determined to satisfy his
curiosity Immediately, so, putting his
head through one of the paper panes,
he inquired
as Jeremy Wright at home, pray?"
"No, SIR came the reply, as the bar
Der instantly thrust his head out
through another of the paper panes;
"no, sir. He has just popped out"
"Goodw exclaimed the delighted
Foote, and he left the barber richer by
\ guinea without his having exercised
his vocation Of shaving upon the noted
wit, who hurried off, laughing, to tell
the story.
