The Shamrock.

From Harper's Weekly.
In one part OF Ireland one plant is called
the shamrock, in another part mother
plant, and elsewhere in the island stIll
another.
The name Is. however, most widely ap-
piled to one OF the hop ~clovers. the botan
ical name OF which il Trifolium minus.
This is the plant that Is often sent from
the Emerald Isle. especially to London, for
Saint Patrick's day, and frequently to the
United States, under the name Of SHAM
reclk.s By many authorities It Is held to
be the true historical shamrock. although
that honor might also be claimed for sew
eral other plants. n.y. 4a s
There is a popular notion 20 the effect
tina this plant will grow nowhere but In
ireland: but this impression Is incorrect.
II will flourish wherever It is properly
cultivated. and 1t does grow freely in
countries other than Ireland.
Trtfolium repens. white clover, is
Widely understood to be the common
shamrock. and It is gathered and worn
under that name In relan and elsewhere.
It fourishcs nowhere more ~abundantly
than In our own country. and there is
nothing enthusiastically Irish about Ii
Medicago lupulina is also known as the
shamrock. So is wood sorrel. Much his
torical evidence may be adduced to show
that this last-named plant Is the sham
rock suiis by the poets. 1t Is beautifully
trifoliate and grows In wild places.
Iii the United States red clover has been
\ lceaIly called tho shamrock.
To the lrishman the true shamrock is
the plant known hy that name in the
vicinity OF his own or or his fathers birth:

CHAPTER XXI.
The Judge Meets the Situation.

The Judge Meets the Situation.
The judges and Mr. Mahaffy's cele-
bration of the formers rehabilitated
credit had occupied the shank of the
evening, the small hours of the night,
and that part Of the succeeding day
which the southwest described as soon
in the morning; and as the stone jug,
in which were garnered the spoils OF
the highly confideutial but entirely
misleading nversation which the
Judge had held with Mr.. Pegloe after
his return from Belle Plain, lost in
weight, it might have been observed
that he and Mr. Mahaffy seemed to
gain in that nice sense of equity which
should form the basis of all human re-
lations. The judge watched Mr.. Ma
haffy. and Mr.. Mahaffy watched the
judge. each trustfully placing the reg
ulation of his private conduct In the
hands OF his friend, as the one most
likely to be affected by the rectitude
of his acts.
Probably so extensive consump-
ton of Mr.. Pegloe's corn whisky had
never been accomplished with great

again; he attempted to peer into it,
closing one watery eye as he tilted 1t
toward the light.
II wonder no Yankee has ever
thought to invent jug with glass
bottom" he observed.
What for?" asked Mahaffy.
You astonish me, Solomon" ex-
claimed the judge. Coming as you
do from that section which invented
the wooden nutmeg, and an eight-day
clock that has been known to run
as much as four or five hours at a
stretch. I am aware the Yankees are

Mahaffy lost heart. Then there came
hasty step beyond the door, it was

glance showed Mahaffy that he was

Again they were silent, all their
energies being absorbed by the physl-
cal exertion they were making The
road danced before their burning
eyes, it seemed to be uncoiling itself
serpent-wise with hideous undulat1ons
Mr.. Mahafy was conscious that the
judge, of whom he caught blurred
vision now at his right side, now at
his left, was laboring painfully in the
heat and dust. the breath whistlinE
from between his parched lips.
You're just ripe for apoplexy,
Price!" he snarled, moderating his
pace.
GO on" said the judge. with stoiid
resolution.
Two miles out of the village they
came to a roadside spring; here they
paused for an instant. Mahaffy
scooped UP handfuls of the clear wa
ter and sucked it greedily. The judge
dropped on his stomach and buried
his face In the tiny pool, gulp1ng
up great thirsty swallows.
