This whs the beuitinliiR of a scries of
dinner mid receptions. At Minis Kulqo
the next day, the mansion seemed it per
fect Kilen of bloom and fragrance. Uuly
Hot'tiMise, Willi extitiislte tnsie had nr
ranged everythlni? In the most tlelinhtful
orilei-. A Kiai'il eoniert whs the llnal treat.
Sir Wren could not foiyet the iniportant
politiral qtipsiions of the day even amid nil
this piyety, hut would always find some
one w ith w hum he could discus the tlilll
cult piobh.'ins Huitatini! the ciiuntry. Dur
ing the concei t instead of listening to tho
'music, he wii.s in a retired corner of tho
great dniwliii; room in earnest conversa
tion tvith a member of the Mrilish Parlia
ment. When I heard l'arnell's name 1 be
came Interested and asked I.iuly Waver
land to excuse me and I soon joined them
In the discussion.
"lint sir," said Sir Wren, "why need
the new party be destroyed?"
"The power they will hold can force one
party or the other to grant their demands
in t lie coming parliament. If the men me
fleeted, in tint Hi relict It that I'anicll ex
pects, he will hold a controlling power,"
said the M. '.
"I believe he will elect nearly every can
diiluto he chooses to Humiliate," said Sir
Wren, cnnie.sily. "Hut Knglaud need not
care," he continued, "if she is willing to
comply with an net of parliament passed
in the first year of the present century.
'That the Independence of Irelund should
ever remain to her.' " '
'Why ir," nuld the M. P.,' "that can
never be. Ireland ia a part of the empire,
and as such she can never be independ
ent!" "Ireland does not auk complete Inde
pendence, but to have the legislative riht
for a local parliament and local govern
ment." "If w e should fp-ant that in this coming
parliament, in the next she will ask even
more. The mure we grant the Irian peo
ple the more they want!" exclaimed the
M. P., with animation.
"I will grant that, sir," aid Sir Wren.
"But one mnst remember that what rights
they now enjoy they have had to atruftgle
hard to obtain. And we cannot blame
them for longing for more liberty. They
only ask that their laws may be mad by
their own people, and that their interests
may be protected by lawv ot their own
making."
"Could we grant them to mnch without
making our lauded interest voidf" asked
Vie M. P.
"Yea sir, I think we could," replied Sir
VVren. "But I believe the transfer of our
land titles should be through the govern
ment, and, that the owners of lands in
Ireland should be compensated for their
lands by bonds bearing Interest issued by
the government."
"Would you be willing to part with yonr
lands on these conditions?" asked the M. P,
"I would. I believe every evil that now
rests on Ireland or any other country
where land monopoly is allowed, grows
out of the false system of the lands being
held by the few and worked by the many,"
said Sir Wren warmly.
"Hut, Sir Wren," I said, "if the English
government held the lands of England and
Ireland as carelessly aa the American gov
ernment holds the lands entrusted to it
for future generations, in a few years the
lands would all be held by a small minor
ity." "That is true," aaid Lord Sanders, as he
Joined the group. "I own nearly one huu
dred thousand acres in Illinois and alumt
as much more in Kansas and Nebraska.
And nut an acre but will yield me ten
times the amount It has cost me, in less
than Ave years. And I can secure tenant
on better terms there than in Ireland."
"Then America will soon feel the same
appalling misery and hear the same help
less cries that afflict and curse Ireland to
dayl" said Sir Wreu.
"Even now she feels that," I said, re
membering my visit. "In the districts
where tenants occupy the lands, you see
the same wretched hovels and signs of des
titution that we see in Ireland!"
"Well it brirrgs tie a One income," mid
Lord Sanders, putting his hands into his
pockets with a satisfied air. "I can live In
luxury and ease and my family can hold a
high position in the world while these
proud Americans are glad to sweat for the
gold, spend!"
"But how many families are bound un
der iron clad leasee and drives almost to
starvation to provide yon with the means
tor all your plaaauresf" aaid Sir Wren. .
"I don't know," aaid Lord Sanders In
differently. "They do well enough. They
only pay me rent for my lands."
"To think," aaid Colonel Keynes, who
Joined the group in time to hear Lord San
der's last remark, "that any American
citizen mnst pay tribute to a foreigner for
the privilege of living on American soil!
It would be a queer sight for our State
militia to be called upon, as her majesty
troops are in Ireland, to evict an American
citizen from his home, because he cannot
pay his foreign landlord the rack-rent de
manded. Why, we boast that we are free
from paying tribute money to foreign na
tions, especially to Britons! I thought
that our war of independence meant soine
tliinK'" "Well I am glad to hear that America is
following in oar tracks," said the M. P.
"They will soon feel the annoyances we
are laboring under, from the false system
that wan established years ago; ifitiaa
(alxe system."
"Ulad! no! I would rather sound the
Lota of warning so long and loud that
every free American citizen would rouse
up with the independent energy of their
forefathers and crush out this foreign ele
ment which onlv holds bar lands a means
to ootAin uiDute money, jvo oiooay war
can make her suffer more than tM" ?rt!?!
land monopoly will, in time," said Sir
Vrei: with solemn earnestness.
"O, well, sir," said Ixird Sanders, "they
ae not so sensitive as you are. They are
r ad to sell us lands: it brings nur money
into tne nana of their land agent. Ana
as lunu aa we ran hold the titles and make
our own term with the tenants, our lu
come is sure."
"Mtit they mpy not always Ik) so quiet,"
said Colonel ll.ijnei. "If our people. Ittt
gin t realize fie daiiicer of aMowiun fur
ei.uni rs to obtain sueli Immense, tracts of
lands they ncy im flint a remedy, and
those wealthy landlords may have to seek,
some other source of revenue. It seems
that for years the (icneral IjiiiiI Office, at
Washington, ha been the most corrupt
department that ever existed in any gov
ernment on tho face of theglolie. The
choicest locations have been secured to
alien landlords, w ho w ill not sell, ami on
ly hold t hem to introduce, into America
tho feudal system that oppresses the poor
tenantry in Europe. Mentals are placed
at. two or three dollars per acre ami (ho
tenants are compelled to pay the taxea on
lands they occupy, besides. When will
our iHsiphi awake tn the dangers'' t'on
gress should make some laws curtailing
these frauds and restore the lands to tho
people who have just claims out lit gov
ernment for protection against these un
principled land thieves."
"I low would you dispose ot tho lands
we now hold?" asked IaipiI Sanders.
"l'ny you what they have cost you and
no more!" said Colonel llaynes. "W'e ex
tend to aliens tho same rights and privi
leges of a free born American by hi.-t be
coming a bona i'c cili.mi. Our people
will not quietly submit to being robbed of
tjielr inheritance by alien capitalists! and
enemies to our Institutions! Our lands are
to bo preserved for the use anil benetlt of
American citizens only, if we wish to re
tain our present system of free govern
ment." The amusement of the evening ended
nml the company gradually gathered
round the party that had been having such
an earnest nml interesting dist union. It
was a signal for ndjuuruineiit which
proved effectual.
The last reccllon was given at Haven's
Park. There, I.ady Waverland, or Stella,
lis I love to call her, assisted by tlm Duch
ess of Mi'lvorne received I lie guests nt tho
grand old mansion with quiet tliioiily.
Colonel llaynes bud established himself
its Annie's companion at all these cutcr-
taiuinentH. Shu aeomed well pleased Willi
his society.
Notwithstanding tho pleasure, we en
Joyed, 1 longed for the quiet of Waverland,
where 1 could have the luxury of a hu
py home; for such I was sure it would be
with my dear wife as my companion. As
we were standing together after the guest
had nearly all left, I said:
"To-morrow, little wife, we will be at
Waverland once more."
"I am so glad," said Stella, with a quiet
pleasure in her voice. "All this gaiety is
nice, but I long for the rest of homo."
"Well, we'll soon lie home ugain," said
Sir Wren, Joining us as we stood by an
open door.
. "We want you to stand as member of
parliament from our district, Iiyd, In the
coming election."
"Iam willing to try. But I fear there
will be a strong tight against me," I said.
"Very much will depend on Lady Wa
verland. If she is popular she will be a
great help to you lu the coming campaign,"
aid Sir Wren.
"They will meet her first," I wild, "at
onr reception and banquet. But I have no
fear for her; she haa a strong hold on the
peoplo's hearta already.
"How do yuu know?" ahe asked with a
smile.
"I have heard of yon very often among
my tenants," I said, a we passed into
the hall.
Sir Wren, Annie nnd Colonel Haynea
were our guest at Haven's Park, and
were to accompany us home to Waverland.
CHAPTER IXIV. THK BIHDK'S HOMR COMINO.
The next morning we bade good-bye to
the happy friends with whom we had
shared so many happy hours. With many
promises for exchangu of letters and visitA
in the near future we left liaven's Park
and started for Waverland. Sir Wren,
Annie and Colonel llaynes were still with
ns. The Colonel had accepted an invita
tion to spend a month or two with us in
Ireland to learn something of the true
state of things there. I suspect a certain
pair of blue eyes had a charm for him,
greater even than the troubles of the coun
try, judging from the attention he paid
their owuer.
Haven's Park we left in tho care of the
servants who had lived thero in the days
of Sir Edward, Stella's grandfather. It
was arranged that we wero to return there
to spend the Winter.
"O, this is our station!" exclaimed Myr
tle, aa our train rolled opto the platform.
We were met by a delegation of our peo
ple; and such a throngl
"Why, I did not know thero wero so
many peoplo in tho county," said Sir
Wren as we stood contemplating the situa
tion and waiting for the train to move on.
It was indeed a sight to behold! Women
In their bine cloaks with happy, smiling
faces; men in their smart Sunday Jackets
and children of all sizes, eager for s
glimpse of our party. As the train moved
on, so that they could see ns, cheer after
cheer made the air ring with nhouts of
"Hurrah forth 'swate lady!" "Long life
to young maather!"
"This la your home coming, darling," I
said, helping Stella to s place in the car
riage. When at a little distance from the depot
We were met by carriages fall of people; it
seemed as though all the country had pnt
on ita holiday garments and were having a
jubilee.
As we were passing through the gate
way Stella said:
'0, Loyd! yon have copied that poem of
a gateway from one we saw in Glen
Eyrie!"
"Yes, I tried to make it like that, as a
memorial of the love I fonnd awaiting me
in that far away land. And may it ever be
a pleasant reminder of the happy hours we
passed there," I said.
Myrtle was in an ecstacy of delight at
being home again, and seeing so many peo
ple about.
"Bister Stella," said Myrtle, nestling in
her arms, "you will never go away again
will you?"
"No, darling, I am at home to stay with
yon now," she said.
"And Ix)yd tool" asked Myrtle.
"Tbia is our home, all together now, lit
tle lister," I said, as w drove up to the
doorway.
The old butler and his wife met us aa we
entered the great hall. He was more pomp
ons than ever in his enormous wig, bigh
coat collar and eravat. while his wife, who
was the nouseseeper, looted smart in a
riTT cotton gown and fancy cap.
"And it's welcome home, ye are, Lord
Waverland; and long lifo to ye's, ami my
.dy," said the butler, making a most
profound bow. as we entered the house,
.",.,.M Annie find t!, Colo-pel were
anon with us, and friends from every aireu
t ion mine tn offer their congratulations.
Tho broad beautiful lawn was full of peo
ple. Sion Stella nnd I were in their midst
shaking baiid-i with them, and receiving
their "lioti hies ye's!"
it. was a merry company that gathered
at the long I iblos to partake tif the sump
tuous feast th;;' afternoon; ami, as we
passed here ml ihero we heard these re
marks: "1 Ihoun'il it was n great lady mining to
Waverland, but it Is the swute nnel who
came to inn when 1 whs in k!" or, "it's
the i-wato leddy who told me how to nmko
bread!" and, "It's the governess who wo

hero and came with her lilt In box of medi
cine ami doektored my .lannnle when he
hail the measels, so It is!"
All united In calli'ig her tho "swale
leddy." Tho children gni tiered round
1 jnly Waverland for a kind word. No one
was overlooked. Most of them Stella .
knew and remembered their names. She
had a peculiar faculty of miiningchildreu's
love. 1 had ofleil nolii ed w hell III a Mom
full of strangers, tho children would noon
find tbeirwny foStella's side.
While we were busy seeing that our peo
ple were having good cheer, tho Invited
guests were enjoying themselves according
to their own tastes and inclinations. Soiuo
were busy w lib ball and mallet at croquet.
Others w ith Isivv and arrow were sending
forth joyous peals of laughter at tho mis
take or good lilts of their companions.
One and all wero having a good time. Sir
Wren was In an ecstacy of delight, and
seemed the youngest of the party, giving a
passing joke and friendly greeting to every
ono ho met. As lie ami I were standing
together and Stella was engaged with the
lit tie ones, I said:
"You see, Sir Wren, that there Isnodan
ger but that Uuly Waverland will be pop
ular with our peoplo. She ha won their
love and trust as she has won mine, by the
goodness of her heart. I have no fear but
that It will continue."
"You are very fortunate Loyd, In secur
ing such a lovely wife. I congratulate yon
with a warmer heart since I have seen her
among the people, llor gnntlo iufluuuce
will have great force for their good."
In tho evening Lady Waverland was no
less a favorite than among the humbler
classes. The rich nnd haughty wero glad
to claim her for an acquaintance on ac
count of her noble birth and great wealth.
I thought as 1 saw some ot the grand la
dies and gentlemen who had formerly
stung her sensitive heart with cruel words,
now trying to win more than a passing
greeting from her, how different their con
duct would have been had ahe returned as
simply a governeau! Hut wealth and poal
tion are powerful agent with those who
have no higher aims in life than show and
fashion.
Ijady Waverland was equally a favorite
with rich and poor and made every one
who came Into her presence feel at ease.
A few days after our return the people
gathered to hear Mr. Parnell and to choos
a candidate to stand from our district for
member of parliament. Our district was
ono of the most extremely nationalist of
any in Ireland. When Mr. Parnell came
be found a remarkable gathering. It waa
thoroughly representative; people ot all
trades, merchant, mechanics, professor,
laborers and noblemen hod met to see and
hear the "uncrowned king."
Tho applause and cheers that greeted
Mr. Parnell wero loud and hearty, bnt
some hissed nnd many nourished the
block thor i shillalah. That is a practical
weapon in the hands of an Irishman and
lias convinced many a man against his
will.
Mr. Parnell came to the front and was.
formally introduced by tho chairman ot
the committee. He bowed slightly, and
commenced speaking iu a conversational
tone of voice, without tho least visible ex
cltenient. At llrst the confusion in the
crowd was so great that very few heard
hint. But, with the command be had ob
tained over himself in parliament he con
tinued speaking. Very soon order pre
vailed aud nearly every one in tbe vast
audience could hear distinctly every word
he uttered.
"Friends," he said, "I hope we may gain
Home Rule for Ireland In the coming par
liamentary struggle. That will pave tbe
way for every tenant fanner to own th
land he tills. But to obtain this we must
stand united. In union lies our strength.
England has said that we never can agree
among ourselves, so they have nothing to
fear from us. in the coming election I
would like to prove to England that w
know what we want and are united in
asking for it.
"Now, friends, I want your assistance,
to help secure Ireland the management of
our local affair, and protection of our
home Industries. We have every advan
tage for succe&sf ul manufactories. All w
need Ls protection. Hut brut force will
never accomplish anything. I hate the
cowardly heart that can find refuge in
dynamite, fit's the only way!' cried a
voice from the crowd.
"It's base and cowardly in the extreme,
and Ireland in the use of it has weakened
her power! J Jberty for Ireland must com
through the people. We must unite in
asking for what we need and then stand
together for our rights. We can only
reckon on what we can extort from En
gland through our united voices. W are
tired of being handled aometimei very
roughly, by English officials; of being
treated like quarrelsome children; of hav
ing nothing to say but amen to every de
cree and nothing to do except to obey the
will of our Imperious masters.
"In the past, the liberal with GlaJjtoa
at the heatl have pursued a course of un
pardonable cruelty and exasperation.
Wholesale evictions have been nenui'.M'K
Arbitrary arresw nave tieen mane! lMian l
has been treated as though unfit for any
thing better than to be trodden under fool!
Are yon willing to submit to all this iu tu
future?''
