A TALE OF OUR CQV''G LANDLORDS.
! BT SATIATI MAtl.'E MtlUHAU.
Cvpvrl'llittd, 1SS0.
One evening about a wee after Stella'
departure, I anno home from a lung rldo '
more sad and lonely than ever. After eat- 1
Infc few mmithsfiil of supper I went to
my mom, thinking I would form some ,
plan for leaving Waverlnml. As I sat try- ;
ing to decide what course to puraue, I
beard Stella's voice as plainly an 1 ever did
In my life, snyliiR. "If 1 were you I would
not let my inheritance k to waste." I
tarted from my chair ami looked around.
it seemed to me that she was near. But It
was only a tempting dream. There was
no bright face with a welcoming smile.
Only empty space. But I had been aroused. ,
I began to think what she would have me
do. I made myself a promise that I would
fulfill her wish and save my inheritance.
I would strive to be u man worthy of her
love If we ever mot again. Then came to
my mlu.d the words we bad often sung to-
''When nhnll we meet nirnln?
Ili'iir lii'itrt, Dim time lonirl
Tlmt lirinuK 1'iIh oMcoiil HlruiU,
Like minor in a song.

T."vat seemed a bweet promise for the fnt
tiresnml I was comforted. I believed that
Uto.la was' safo and that sometime we '
would meet ak'iiin. What a Benne of rest
came to my mind, bringing by the aid of
memory all her quiet ways and pleasant
words Imck again, until I seemed to feel
her very presence. I was anxious to do
some good deed to be worthy of her pure
love. Can mind take form and visit uiindf
Yes, I believe that sympathy of love can
unite as though distance may intervene ,
Hut would she believe what my mother
said, that Annie and I were engaged? O, 1
mother, how could you tell her that! An
nie and I had been playmates, but what
was my love for her compared with this
strong, deep ission, that tilled my waking
thoughts aud visited my dreunis! My ,
Stella was my queen, my life-star, and If I '
failed to llud her I felt that lire would be a
failure.
Moving soma furniture ono day In Stel
la's room a little blank envelnpo fell to the
floor. I picked It up and found It win not
Healed. Surely here was the message I had
longed for. I hastened to my room to ex
vmiino the contents. I had not a doubt
that It was for me, until I opened It. I
found a little square card divided Into
thirty-nix cqiinl parts. Twenty-seven were
closed and nine were open. fSuch a card,
At college, the boys called a gral Ing. It was
used to decipher messages when great se
crecy was desired. What was the tnea
anger Should I read? For a little while I
debated with myself, then curiosity pre
vailed, and I tried. It was addressed "To
my (lul ling," and uonUlued thp following
words
Monro eoveld
raai'lu eroarn
Ifgskt hdavre
n nerce swniadt
roveak Rwtiee
yrfuom ltvf.se
There was no meaning to tho words In
tills slmpo. Hut I hod learned the use of
the grating years ago, when wo bail plan
ned midnight raids alsiut the buildings
nnil grotuMs of tho university. 1 copied
tho first row of words into squares corres
ponding to the thirty-six equal parts of the
grating. Then I placed the card with the
nine open squares over my letters, care
fully observing tho little cross on the up
per left hund corner, which marked the
top. Then the letters revealed through
the spaces wero: d, n, a, 1, g, n, c, k, r.
There was no more nieanliitf than before
Hut I replaced my card, moving the crort
to the right hand upper corner; these let
ters were visible: a, p, s, n, e, v, a, r, m.
I turned the grating once more. Tha
cross now came to the lower right hand
corner and these were the letters that ap
peared through the ojieiilngs: o r f k r o y
to. 1 turned the grating once more. The
cross now came at the lower left comer. I
read: lraettere. Mechanically 1 ar
ranged the other letters and obtained as a
result the following letters;
vedrawdet
onosttere
vedrawdes
e 1 r a h c tn a 1
At the university when we had decipher
ed a message by the use of the grating we
wrote nil the letters together and then sep
arated them Into words. I wrote the
euiy-iwo tellers in tne order mat 1 naa dis
covered them, and hud the following: d n
algnekrupsnevarmorfkroyf
olraetterevedrawdefonostt
rovedrawdeselrahemal.
That was alL The enigma seemed as
meaningless as ever. Discouraged, I lened
back In my chair and threw my hands be
hind my head. My wrltiug was wealed
to me in the looking-glass that hung above
the tnblo. I caught the letters forming tha
word Everett. Quick as thought I solved
the mystery. The message had been writ
ten backward, and the glass had made it
right. I followed out the thought and ob
tained: "I am Charles Edward Everett,
on of Edward Everett, earl of York, from
Haven's Turk, England."
The message was plain, but the mystery
remained. Evidently It was from some
relative or friend of the same family name
of my lost darling. It revealed nothing to
mo. I placed the card, the message and
my solution In the envelopo and put it In
mynotebiKik. It was something to keep.
JJke a little withered flower, it reminded
me of my lost friend. Where was she now?
If I could only know that she was safe and
With friends.
CHAPTER VIII. WHAT CAUSED THE FAMINE.
Once more I had an object to attain.
There was work for me to do, and 1 was
ready to U-gin. The most important work
was to plan greater comfort for my ten
ants! I never dreamed of opposition in
carrying out the methods used by Sir
Wren; of changing my tenants into labo
rers. The llrst farmer I visited lived iu an
old hut surrounded by tilth of every des
cription. I knocked at the door, anil was
admitted into a room where a man, a wo
man, six children, a cow and (our pigs
all lived huddled into a space of not more
than twelve by sixteen feet.
; Mike came to the door, looking as though
lie feared my presence meant eviction. As
re came to me t onered my nana, aim, ai
, ter a cordial hand-shake, I said:
"Mike, would you like to give np your
holding and hire out to me?"
"Och, thin, ye're going to be worse thin
the ould masther and turn ns out all to
. itfthcr," he said, shaking his powerful fist
by way of emphasis; while the woman
ame nearer in a threatening manner.
'v. vtVe." I said. In a friendly war.
you mininse me. I wnnt to uiase ytm
more comfortable. On your small holding
yon can hardly raise enough to keep your
family from want. Ilul if yuu will work
for nie, 1 will give you good wuges for
yourself, your wife, and all the child
Unit ore large enough to work." ,
"My father lived here and his father De
fore him; and now as soon as ye're mas
ther ye come to root us out of the soil!" he
snid, stinking his fist in my face, while his
wife kept coming nearer and showing the
fcpii it of an angry tigress about to spring.
"Hut, Mike," 1 protested, "I want you
to live more comfortable. It Is hard work
to live iu tills way," pointing to the pigs
and cow.
"Yer want the cow turned out to die, so
we can't pay our rint," said Mike, "thin
ye'd turn us from our home. No, yer may
leave us to oursiives."
I tried to reason with him, but could not
make him believe but that I meant to
harm him. Mike was honest, industrious
and sober, but the few acres he held were
not enough to keep his family frotn want
If he never paid any rent Yet I could not
make him believe it was for his good I
miule the oflei.
I visited a dozen farmer) but they were
all of the same opinion as Mike, and pre
ferred to live in filth and degradation
rather than give up their little holdings.
Instead of helping them as I had planned
to do, I nearly caused an Insurrection. The
men gathered together and were ready to
fight if I persisted in asking them to
change. I soon found the reason for such
filthy yards and bouses was fear of the
rent being raised If the place looked thrif
ty. Very carefully 1 set to work to over
come their mistaken prejudices.
I had commenced the work of improve
ment before Stella hod left, as she hail ad
vised on that day which seemed to me
years ngo. O, why was I silent that morn
ing! If I had only spoken the loving words
within my heart, I might hav kept her by
my side. How much 1 missed her now! I
had learned to vulue her words of counsel
Her re;uly tact would influence the tenants
to do her will, as I oftou fouud. When I
offered any plun for change if she had ever
spoken of it to them they were very will
ing to accept it. Gradually 1 had to learn
her way of dealing with the people and
was guided accordingly. It was the story
of Topsy and Eva over again. Stella was
the Eva to teach me there must be sympa
thy to win regard. As I followed out that
principle the tenants liegan to trust me I.
started Improvements that gave them
work, and the wages gave them a good
many comforts.
After a good deal of thought and some
expense 1 had the satisfaction of knowing
that every tenant had a comfortable house
and that the pigs and cows were sheltered
without being members of the family.
It was a beautiful morning' in January;
the trees and shrubs were clothed with the
fairy urb that Jack Frost loves to deck
the world In, when I rode over to Sir
Wren's to receive instructions for my Lon
don visit. He was in his favorite place,
tho library. He looked up as 1 entered,
and extended his hand, saying:
"I began to think, you had forgotten
your promise, Loyd. Hut there Is titne
enough yet. O, by the way, your new
theory did not work; came near having a
tow, I hear."
"Yes, Sir Wren, I thought I had got into
a hornets' nest. Even the women were
ready to fight me. How did you make the
change?"
"It was mostly done liefore I bought the
estate. The former owner, Lord Sanders,
had used it for a pasture farm, and had
very few tenants, he had a time clearing
it, us there were some two or three hun
dred families on the estate when he bought
it He had them all evicted, though every
one had paid his rent quite promptly.
Father O'Hale said it was the saddest
sight he ever saw when that whole village
were turned from home without food or
Shelter. He said some among them were
sick and the excitement and exposure were
more than they could stand. He was called
to offer consolation to the dying who luj
by the roudslde In the rain and cold.
Every tenant house In the whole village
was burned. lord Sanders never dared to
live here. His sheep and cattle were driv
en away in spite of his agent's watchful
ness. Finally he was obliged to selL That
Is the way I have laborers instead of
tenants."
"I think a landlord wonld have a lively
time of It if he should try to evict tenants
at Waverland. Am I In time for the busi
ness you wished done at London?"
"Yes, here are the documents," said Sir
Wren, as he went to his desk and brought
me a packet, "Here is a letter of intro
duction to the Duke of Melvorne. That
will prove an open sesame to political cir
cles." I Iwde him good-bye, received his friend
ly God-speed, then returned home atid flu
shed my arrangements for a few weeks'
absence.
Arriving at my destination in London, I
sought the lawyer to whom I was to deliv
er my packet, transacted the business in
trusted to my care, and went out to find
the Duke of Molvorne. Ho was at his club
room. I gave him the letter from Sir
Wren. lie read It, then in the most cor
dial manner made me feel at case.
The Duke of Melvorne was tnll and
strikingly handsome, with expressive
brown eyes, dark curly hair and a clear
olivo complexion. He had the stately
hearing of an English nobleman. He in
troduced me to a young man, a friend of
his, Colonel Haynes, from America, to
Lord Sanders, an owner of American land
and to some dozen more. The young
American was a powerful looking man,
with black hair, penetrating black eyes
that could sparkle with wit or melt Into
tenderness, a clear, ringing voice and a
grateful manner. Ixml Sanders Was a
drled-up little man, with a dark, squeezed
tip face, small, restless black eyes and a
long straight nose. He was dressed in
block, with boots as shiny as his eyes. He
had a gold watch-chain with immense
seals, depending from his fob, which he
rattled to emphasize his speech.
"How is Sir Wren and his fair daugh
ter?" asked the duke.
"They are quite well except the little
rheumatics that kept Sir Wren at home
Just now," I answered. "They have had a
niece of Sir Wren's visiting thorn from
IiOiidon. Are you acquainted with her?"
"Iidy Irving-, do you mean?" he asked,
half Indifferently, yet slightly ansMous.
"That is her name. She is a widow
and a beauty," 1 said.
"Rich young widows are usually good
company," said Colonel Haynes. "But I
think the English ladles are not as good
looking as our American women."
"I lielicre you are right there, said the
duke, ''And the American girls have more
animation than onrs."
"What is the latest news in Ireland?"
asked Colonel Haynes, turning toward me
as he spoke. i. ,''
7 "Karl Spencer ts ruling with a despotic,
way," I ssid. "Anyone who has not been
arrested or in prison is out of the fashion
tbar
"Then I'arnell must be the prlnee of
Irish fashion," said Colonel Haynes.
"Paruell a prlnco," sneeringly said the
Duke of Mr.'v 'tne. "Yes. he Is a orifice to
u ui i jietmitt g puc&eis: vv ny,
even, the AmeriCHtis were gulled into pny
ing him large bums of money for his Irish
Bu:Terers'."
"Hut I'arnell did not use the money, it
came to the people, as I can testify. I he
seen ships from America loaded with pro
visions in our harbors, and I have seen
those same provisions portioned out to the
starving people of Ireland. I have also
seen the English government paying an
armed force to evict these same people
without a thought of aid," I said, indig
nant that an Englishman, of all men,
should accuse I'arnell of trickery and dis
honesty. "Yes, I,ord Waverland, you are right. I,
too, have seen ships from the United
States, In the Irish harbors, loaded with
the same provisions that other ships were
loaded with, that were leaving Ireland for
England. It was not lock of food that
made famine," said Colonel Haynes.
"That Is true, sir " I said. "There la
enough of everything raised In Ireland for
her people to have plenty. At thevory
time wher American food and money
were being distributed to the suffering
people they were sending from Irelund to
England thirty lare steamers every weeK,
laden to the gunwales with fat cattle,
sheep, pigs and the most expensive kinds
of food."
"Then what made the famine?" asked
the Duke of Melvorne.
"The feudal sy- tem of land tenure under
which Ireland Is jrouning Ls what caused
It," I answered.
"Why, are you a landlord and yet advo
cate tho tenants' rights so zealously?"
asked Lord Sanders a little annoyed.
"Yes, Ijord Sanders, 1 atn a landlord, yet
I yrould willingly yield mv interest In the
laud as the Persians did tueirs."
"Why, how was that?" asked Colonel
Haynes.
"The lii"d-owners were compensated for
their lands by the government i:img
bonds bearing four per cent Interest to
them, while the tenants paid the govern
ment five per cent ou the bonds," I ex
plained. "Yes that sounds very well," said the
Duke of Melvorne. "But the Irish people
never will lie satisfied until they have
driven every landlord out of Ireland and
possess the land free of cost. Then in live
years they will be ready for another gift of
like value. The Irish are a thriftless, vag
abond people, who never know the value
of anything."
"Then they change mightily by coming
to America," said Colonel Haynes. "To
be sure, some of them are. as you say, vag
abonds and drunkards; but the most of
them are sober, industrious people; and
not only provide for themselves and their
families, but send a largo part of their
earnings back to Ireland eery year."
"I have tenants on my estate who could
never pay the rent but for the aid that
comes from boys and girls in America," I
said. "And they are solier, hurl-working
men, anxious to keep their holdings."
"I thkik, Lord Waverland, that you
have been taking lessons of Sir Wren,"
said the Duke of Melvorne, walking back
and forth through the room, "1 remember
he used to be very bitter against absent
landlords." '
"Ho thinks they are a curse to Ireland
yet," I said, "by draining the country of a
million pounds a year. Ho claims that no
nation on earth could avoid funiine under
such a system."
"That remains to be seen," Rnld Lord
Sanders. "I know there are more tenant
farmers In America, than In Ireland, Scot
land and England combined. A large per
cent of the land owners are Englishmen,
too. Why, I derive nearly two hundred
thousand dollars a year from tenant farm
ers In America, and I am not the only one
who ls reaping a rich reward from Ameri
can labor. But there is no sign of a famine
there, as yet"
"No," said the Duke of Melvorne, "on
the contrary, America Is one of the most
prosperous nations on the globe."
"We are a prosperous nation," said Co
lonel Haynes with animation, "but this
heavy drain on our people may cause suf
fering before we are expecting it."
"O, bah, on your suffering! I expect to
hear the American people begin to com
plain as a compliment to this infernal
Irish agitation," said Lord Sanders, with
more arrogance than usual. "I am not
afraid of any complaints, as long as the
laws are made to suit ourselves."
"But -the laws are made by the people
and for the people," protested Colonel
Haynes.
"Ha, ha, you haven't cut your eye teeth
yet," laughed Lord Sanders. "Why, every
clause euacted by the Illinois Legislature
has been iu favor of the landlords. Yon
cannot And a tenant In Ireland that is
bound under such strict laws as my ten
ants In Illinois are."
"Then God pity them." I said.
"It seems to me," said Colonel Haynes,
"that about the time Ireland Is free from
English landlords America will be pretty
well burdened with them. The thought is
repulsive. We love to call our land, "The
land of the free and the home of the
brave." Our forefathers fought and suf
fered a hundred years ago to make It a
nation of homes. But not one drop of
precious blood was ever given to make it a
trading ground for English capitalists or
to give foreigners the power to oppress our
people!"
"WTcll, don't get excited," said Lord
Sanders, going to the Colonel and pluclng
his hand upon his shoulder in the most
familiar manner. "We pay for the lands
wo get, and we have a right to buy where-
ever we choose. And, then, we have a right
to use our own property as we wish. No
government on earth has a right to say
where I shall live or where I shall spend
my money."
"That is txue," said the Duke of Mel
vorne, approvingly. "I hold large tracts
of land in the United States now, and I in
tend to own ten times as much within the
next Ave years."
: "Hear! hear!" cried several voices. "So
wlU we." . ..
The evening passed before we realized
It Many besides ourselves had been In
terestcd in the discussions. The Duke of
Melvorne Invited Colonel Haynes and my
self to be his guests during our stay in
London.
