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

There is story, appropriate to st.
Patrick's day, about Henry Labou-
chere
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 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 it. AS he pom
dered the matter, he noticed that the
walters, who were staring at him odd
ly, were all Irishmen. Were the wait
ers aware of his lack of funds? His
luncheon seemed strangely long in
over him and whispered:
II 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 forefin-
ger upon his lip. Hush" he muir
INJURED. And he looked round the
room cautiously.
1t was at once felt that Labouchere
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 big, handsome mantle pro-
prietor himself. The proprietor, bend
ing over the youth, said earnestly:
From one like you, a sufferer in
the good cause, can take no money
1t has been a privilege to serve you
sir. Permit 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.

Mrs. Croft was q 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 flood
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 n temporary separation. 1t was
not TO be permanent; they were too
sincerely fond of each other to dream
Of anything like that Rather 1t was
to be n 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

nosed the trouble accurately. 1t was
not their love which was at fault, but
the conditions Of their life, and love
must be strong enough to overlear
those artificial barriers. >
But Mildredl John Croft had never
ceased to dream OF his first love. II
