POSED AS PATRIOT MEAGHER
mar 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 m
bassy, young Labouchere one day
turned up, hungry and p%enniless, 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 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
coming. But just then a waiter bent
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.
anu udu tSCdpSu LllCLCC " AVG" AOAh.
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
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 n 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 over the youth, said earnestly:
From one like you, a sufferer in
the good cause, / car 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 b cold
world with the stern, sad. but indo-
mitable look which it seemed to him
that an exiled patriot should wear.

70 range through many crops that are
grown on the farm without damage
to the crops and by such practice Sc
cure double returns from the same
piece of land.
Orchards or cornfields are ideal for
this purpose and the presence of the
chickens In them is beneficial rather
than detrimental, as they will destroy
large numbers of insects injurious to
the crops. The movable colony house
which is rapidly coming into general
use on the farm makes it possible to
scatter the chickens out over the
fields.
This method is especially valuable
for handling the young stock, as it
gives freedom to the birds. The re-
suit will be stronger, more vigorous
birds. BY moving the house close to
the fields where small grains have
been harvested the birds are able to
turn into profitable gains the shelled
grain and scattered heads which re
main on the field.

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 1t he took 1t 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 hat 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
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

He was twenty then, and Mildred
Carter had told him that she would
wait for him, il need be for ever.
They had been s~weethearts 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 vatnly. 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.

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 ove 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 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. 1t 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 q 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 cottages? And would
she wear that ~sunbonnet? And would
she forget the years that had escaped
and pretend that they we're boy and
girl together again in Clayton?
No sooner had he posted that let
ter than the plan became overwhelm-
ing in its insistence. He thrust .
few things into his suitcase, descend
ed in the elevator, hailed a taxicab.
and was ON his way to the station He
was singing as he entered the broad
marble portals. The ticket agent
