ne was too good to last long. Another said he
might be a Government spy who would get them
all in trouble That he went to mass regularly
was admitted, but there were some who remarked
that his manner Of blessing himself revealed the
amateur worshiper. The conjecture that he might
be a Government spy came to Bartley's own ears,
and at once he set about to explode it.
The first thing BARLEY did was to go to
liquor sellers and get drunk When he was told
to get out he became abusive cursing everybody
in authority, especially the Government the Lord
Lieutenant and the Queen. Rolling in the gutter
he called for three cheers for an Irish Republic
and a Parliament in College Green. When the
police came, BARLEY become more abusive. At
the station house he assaulted two of them, and
challenged any miserable hound that ever wore
the Queens uniform to a stand-up fight When
he appeared before the magistrates he was fined
heavily, and, in accordance with the part he was
playing, would have gone to jail instead Of paying
the fine had not crowd of sympathizing Ma
tonalists in the body Of the court subscribed the
amount Of the fine between them. After giving
this incontestable proof that he was genuine
Nationalist and no Government spy, Bartley's
reputation was re-established
Work at the forge now became more brisk.
But whereas previously the men brought spades,
shoyels and plowshares to mend they now
brought pixies and muskets. BARLEY was trusted
as he had never been before The week after his
encounter with the police he was sworn in as a
regular member Of the secret society ready to
take the field against the Government when the
rebellion was announced. He had, however stipu-
lated that he should not be asked to leave the
forge until actual had broken out and his
wishes were respected Many firearms were
mended and many pixies were made for the mem
bers OF the revolutionary society. BARLEY knew
the name of every member; the name Of every
man who had riae the name of everybody who
committed an outrage for five years previously,
and the name of every person on whom an out
rage was Intended to be committed BARLEY
made reports Of these particulars to the central
office in Dublin. He was thanked and told to
keep cool. When the Government thought the net
was full they drew It out, and presto! the whole
town and district of Tubbercurry was thrown
into a state Of the widest confusion Summonses
were issued for all the names on Bartleys list
Those who felt that their cases were light attend
ed court and were let off with a fine
BARLEY took the first train for Dublin as soon
as he heard that the first summons was issued
Had he remained a few hours later, he would
have been assuredly assassinated"

About CArnets.

A weak solution Of oxalic acid ap-
piled very carefully to inkstains on
carpets will remove them. If this
changes the color, 1t may be restored

When sweeping thick carpets always
follow the weave of the pile. The car

better.
Carpets should be lifted from the
floor at least once year and thor
oughly cleaned. The dirt which col

Wait until the floor has thoroughly
dried before relaying a carpet. The

lay read necessarily, and by seven he
had begun a compendium of universal
history. At eight he wrote a treatise
designed to convert the natives of
Malabar to Christianity, and about the
same time composed his first poem.
Browning, too, had completed a
whole volume Of verse by the time
he was twelve, but his earliest artistic
effort was a painting of cottage and
rocks, which he painted at the age of
two in lead pencil and black currant
jam. But the small Macaulay was

AWAY WITH WINTER RUGS
Floor Coverings Of the Llghtest De-

The housewife who desires her sum-
mer home to appear restful, cool and
comfortable will remove the thick
mapped floor coverings which have
done service during the winter.
They disagreeably emphasize the
warmth and stuffiiness of the room,
and are extremely difficult to clean.

Eqypt to Reclaim Million Acres.

One of the most costly and compre,
hensive drainage projects for the
reclamation of lands undertaken by
any government in the world, and GER
tainly the greatest enterprise of its
kind in Mediterranean countries, has
just been begun by the Egyptian gov
eminent to make cultivable 100000
acres of fertile land in the delta Of
lower Egypt. The retaining of these
lands will necessitate an expenditure
approaching $15,OOO,OO0 for drainage
and approximately a like amount for
irrigation. The work as planned will
require over four years and will be
brought to completion about the end
of 1915. The principal object Of the
project is to redeem a tract of unpro-
ductive land and bring a fertile but
now worthless region of the delta I'M
der cotton cultivation. When this is
done it is roughly estimated that the
increase in value Of the reclaimed and
improved land will approximate $780,

The Duck and the Trout.

AS a Virginian was fishing below a
milldam near a village in his state, so
q contributor writes to the Companion,
he accidentally threw his line across a
duck, which suddenly turned round,
twisted the gut about its neck, and
fixed the dropper-fy in its breast.
Thus entangled and hooked, the
duck soon broke of the gut above the
dropper, and sailed down the stream
with the other fly trailing hebind 1t,
1t had no gone far before trout about
a pound and half in weight took the
ny.
Then began an extraordinary con.
test. While the trout struggled, the
terror of the duck was very evident;
1t fluttered its wings and dragged the
fish. When the trout grew more quiet
the duck gave way, and suffered itself
to be drawn under some bushes, at the
edge of the stream. When the strug-
gle was renewed the ducks head was
frequently drawn under the water.
BY chance, however, the gut got
across a branch that hung downward
into the water, when the duck, taking
advantage of the purchase that this
circumstance gave 1t, dragged the fish
from its hole and obliged 1t to show
It's head above water. Then 1t became
a contest Of life and death. The trout
was in its last agonies and the duck
in a very weak state, when the gut
broke and suffered each to go his own
way.

bat stoutly affirms the truth Of every
detail.-Youth's Companion.
