life IN THE CITY
Rush of Work, Sordid Struggle
and Cramped Quarters Kills
Romance of Life.
By ISABEL JONES.

John Croft had written to his wife
and dropped the letter down the mail
chute. She had been gone three
weeks, but she had communicated
with him twice during that period so
that the breach between them was
not irrevocable. That morning her
second letter had come, and now that
he had answered it he took It up and
began reading it again.
Dear John" she wrote. Il have
been thinking a good deal during our
separation and have come to the
conclusion that neither of us is so
much to blame for our disagreements
as the other thinks. 1t is our life in
the city, John, the rush Of work, the
cramped quarters, the killing of the
romance Of life by the sordid struggle
for existence. John, shall we try
again and see if we cannot be kinder
to each other?"
John Croft had come to the city
form the country, like so many coun.
try boys, burning to make a name and
fortune in the field where the prizes
are immense but the struggle acute.
No mercy is given on that battlefield.
He was twenty then, and Mildred
Carter had told him that she would
wait for him, If need be for ever.
They had been sw~eethearts for three
years and neither had been in love be-
fore. And Mildred waited, though the
wait was long. Year by year John
Croft had struggled vainly, hopeless
ly, until his sudden recognition came.
Then he had married. And that was
five years ago and though success
seemed certain he was not yet out OF
the press Of that remorseless battle.
John fell to musing upon Mildred.
He remembered her as she used to
walk shyly by his side to church;
he thought of those many lovely hours
in the old town, where their homes
adjoined; of stolen kisses at even, Of
all the thousand and one things that
a lover recalls. How fond Of each
other they had been! Then came his
married life, begun happily, but gradu-
ally embittered by misunderstanding.

stared at him; he might have been q
bridegroom off for his honeymoon.
Ten minutes later he was seated In
his car, watching the flying landscape
as the train steamed through the
pleasant country on its way toward
the little Pennsylvania village.
It was a six hours run. Croft's heart
was beating fast when at last, we'll
toward shutdown, the train slowed
down and ran into the little station.
He left his suit case at the station,
directing that it should be sent up to-
the house where he had been born.
The little tumble-down cottage had
long been empty, for his parents had
died since his first departure, but rea-
sons of sentiment had prevented Croft
from selling it; besides, he had al
ways resolved one day to return there
to live. He made his way down the
village street under the long shad-
1--WE Of the elm.
1t was a long street, and before he
had reached the end the sun had set.
The gracious twilight of spring shroud-
ed all things in mystery. The place
had not changed at all. He might have
been returning thither from college.
All sense Of the intervening years had
left him. At last he was standing at
the bottom of Mildred's garden.
Mildred" he called.
Then his heart pounded violently in
his breast as he saw a slim figure in
a s%unbonnet start out Of the house and
move toward him with the old, leis-
urely grace. And so she passed be-
tween the borders Of towering lilac
and at last stood before him. Why,
this was his Mildred, unchanged
we'll, hardly changed, and not at all to
him. He knew now that he would love
her until he died.
Mildred he cried, and then he.
had clasped her in his arms and her
heart was beating against his own.
And for a long time they forgot every
thing, save that they two stood there
together as they once had done.
John, dear" she whispered, raising
her head and looking into his eyes.
Mildred"
1T has been all a mistake, hasn't
1t? It was the city that killed our
love. Dear, you don't know how hap
Ply your letter made me. II we could
always live here together!"
Dear" he said softly, II want you
to know n thing. l always loved you.
Sometimes, when we we're least hap
Ply, / fancied that there were two
Mildreds-my wife and the sweetheart
who came from Clayton to marry me
ive years ago. But now they are
both n and we will live here togeth-
er and start our married life anew"

Mrs. Croft was a country girl and
life in the city had been hard on her.
And there had been no children.
And ever the memory of Mildred
Carter swept over him like a food
tide, and by that sweet memory he
had tried to live and fought down
the rising bitterness in his heart.
AT last his wife and he had resolved
upon a temporary separation. 1t was
not to be permanent; they were too
sincerely fond of each other to dream
of anything like that. Rather it was
to be a period of adjustment in which,
each, alone, could examine his and
her heart and see wherein the of.
Tense lay. Then his wife's second let
ter had come, in which she had dag
nosed the trouble accurately. It was
not their love which was at fault, but
the conditions Of their life, and love
must be strong enough to overleap
those artificial barriers.
But Mildred! John Croft had never
ceased to dream of his first love. If
those years could be wiped out once
more! He saw her now as he sat
musing in his study, passing down
the village street, swinging her sun
bonnet; he saw the shy, quick glance
that she would cast up at him. He
had those letters that she had writ
ten to him, breathing so many hopes,
in the drawer OF his desk. He had
never destroyed those; they were
sacred to him.
His wife would not return for three
days. Why, then, should he not go
to her, to Clayton, the village Of their
birth, and see her as she was now, re-
call the thousand memories Of their
love, steep his soul in those passion
ate memories which would encourage
him to take up the burden Of life
anew? He sat down at his desk and
wrote her a letter Of a thousand en-
dearments. He was coming back to
Clayton, he said. Would she meet
him just at the place where they used
to meet. at the bottom of the garden
dividing the two cottages2 And would
she wear that s%unbonnet? And would
she forget the years that had escaped
and pretend that they were boy and
girl together again In Clayton2
No sOoner had he posted that let.

POSED AS PATRIOT MEAGHER
Chance Resemblance to Popular Irish
man Turned Out Well for Young
English Diplomat.

There is a story, appropriate to st.
Patrick's day, about Henry Labou-
chere.
While an attache of the British EN-.
bassy, young Labouchere one day
turned up, hungry and penniless, in
New York. At noon, with his usual
reckless daring, he entered a Broad
way chophouse-one Muldoon's-and
ordered a modest meal. But he had
no idea how he would pay for this
meal. Perhaps he would leave his hat
or boots In pledge for 1t. AS he pom
dered the matter, he noticed that the
walters, who we're staring at him odd.
ly, were all Irishmen. Were the wait.
ers aware Of his lack of funds? His
luncheon seemed strangely long in
coming. But Just then a waiter bent
over him and whispered:
Il beg pardon, sir, but are you the
patriot Meagher?"
Now, Meagher, Labouchere knew,
had aided Smith O'Brien In his Irish
rising, had been ~deported to Australia.
and had escaped thence to New York.
The ready young man, in answer to
the walters question, put his forefn-
ger upon his lip. Hush" he II
INJURED. And he looked round the
room cautiously.
1t was at one felt that L~abouchere
was the patriot Meagher. And so the
choicest wines were set before him,
and, in place of the modest chop he
had ordered, a luncheon of nine or
ten elaborate courses was brought on.
AT the end, lighting one of the es-
adjustments finest cigars, Labouch-
ere demanded his bill. His waiter
smiled, retired, and soon came back
with a big, handsome mantle pro
prietor himself. The proprietor, bend
ing owe the youth, said earnestly:
From one like you, a sufferer in
the good cause, l can take no money.
1t has been a privilege to serve you,
sir. Permit a brother patriot to shake
you by the hand"
And Labouchere shook hands with
the proprietor and with the dozen
walters and stalked forth into the cold
world with the stern, sad, but indo-
mitable look which It seemed to him
that an exiled patriot should wear.

The Concrete silo


Silos are now being built in all
most every farming community in
Missouri. The first and most
important question a farmer
asks when he decides to build a
silo is, "What kind shall |
build?' Inquiries come by ev-
cry mail TO the Dairy Depart
ment of the University at Colum-
bia about this or that kind Of
silo. Many farmers have been
told that concrete silos are not
successful and for that reason
they hesitate to build them.
A silo to be successful must be
air tight and strong enough to
withstand the outward pressure
of the silagc, A silo that meets
the above requirements will be
successful regardless of the ma
terial with which it is construct
ed. A concrete silo when prop
erly built will keep silage as good
as any other kind and will last
practically forever.
Concrete silos are not as ex-
pensive in many localities in
Missouri as the silos commonly
81 VIII re the building ma
terial is at a very low cost. The
average cost per ton capacity Of
thirteen concrete silos built in
south Missouri where the gravel
was taken from the creek beds
was $l.60. This means that if
each silo had a capacity of 100
tons the average cost would have
been $3.50. In one country in
north Missouri where sand from
a creek bed was mixed with rock
broken by hand on the farm a
100 ton sill was built complete
for $3.50. in Macon County the
sand and crushed rock for a con-
crete silo were shipped from
Hannibal and after hauling the
material four miles in the oun
try a 100 ton silO was built at a
total cost Of $3.50. The above
facts are taken from actual fig
ures furnished by the farmers
building the silos. They show
that the concrete silo is probably
ON the average no more expen-
sive than any other kind and it
is a well known fact that they
give satisfaction and are perman-
ent.
The Dairy Department Of the
Missouri College of Agriculture,
Columbia, Missouri, furnishes
free plans for the forms to be
used in building concrete silos
and also sends a man to start
the erection of a concrete silo
after the forms are built and the
material is on the ground. When
this is done the man building the
silo is required to pay the travel
ing expenses of the expert.
Many farmers who want to build
concrete silos are asking for the
p'&L of the 1rms and tie SER
vices Of this expert.
