¢ ___ PAGE TWELVE __THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1915. IRISH HEARTS "And where is herself this even- ing?" asked Hugh Sheehan, grimly. "Are we not to have the pleasure of my lady's company at dinner?" "Leave her alone, Hughie," said his cwife, "She may bave a head- ache, I'll take her a cup of tea af- ter we're all served." "I'll have none of her sulking," said Judith's father, "She'll come to dinner or I'll know why." "Well here I am," said the voice of his daughter back of him, a voice as grim as his own. "In three minutes I was coming after you," said Hugh Sheehan. "It's just as well." "Forget it, dad," his son said, breaking silence for the first time in the meal. "Leave her dlone; she's done nothing." "May I have something to eat now that I've come to the table?" asked Judy, dangerously. Hugh Sheehan served her silently, and her mother came in from the kitchen, carrying a cup of tea. She put it down beside her daughter resting her hand for a moment on the girl's shoulder. Judy's eyes filled and she covered the rough hand with her own. "I'm all right, pother," she said gently. 'Don't you bother." In spite ¢f her attempted cheer fulness, the meal was stiff, uncem- fortable. Ed shuffled restlessly. "For heaven's sake!" he said in disgust. "You act like a morgue. This ain't no funeral. Cheer up." Hugh's temper hung by a hair at all times. "And why should we not act like a funeral?" he asked, darting a glance at Judy, where she sat silent]y, her heavily fringed gray eyes lowered to her plate. "Is it every day that the man that 'jilted yorr girter gets married?" "Hugh!" cried Mrs. Sheehan, blank dismay. : Judy's cup clattered against the saucer and she turned to her father, her face white with anger. "Listen to me, Hugh Sheehan," she said "while 1 tell you what I thought was going to die with me-- the reason Jack Fogarty jilted me!" . Hugh stared at her aghast; he had not heard that tone in a woman's voice since he heard his mother raise the keen over his father back in County Mayo 40 years before. "May the saints forgive me for what I'm going to say but I'd say it now if I was to be struck dead for it the next minu- te! I'd be in church to-night but for you. Jack Fogarty would be putting the ring on-my hand if you were not my father. Six months ago Saturday we came home from a dance, you may remember It was the last dance I ever went to with Jack, so you can't well have forgot- ten it. We came in and you were ,in the parlor. You may not remem- ber how you mcted---I don't expect you to, for yow were in no condition to remember anything. But after 1 got you away Jack told me that he didn't dare marry me; that his own father had had the taint and that he bad fought it as if it was a devil all his life. And he didn't dare risk marrying me for the sake of the children that might have come to us. This is plain speaking, but I'lY say it all out for once. "Jack Fogarty. wouldn't marry me because my father was a drunkard, and afterward when he begged to come. back, I wouldn't forgive him for what he'd said of you. From this day on I'll hear no more about my not marryin', Would you have me say to the boys: 'Come and see in me some night. . There's no telling whether my father will be drunk or | sober, but you tan try your luck.? I'll not do it. And -what's more, . Hugh Sheehan, the next time you come home drunk I lea;¢ the house and I'll not return." She was standing when she finish- ed, her fist on the table. For a moment Hugh looked back at her with glazed, pathetig 'eyes. Then she turned away. "I'm sorry, moth- er" she said I'd Btood all, I could from him for many a day." She left the room quietly. The three at the table sat looking at each} other blankly. Finally Ed spoke. "You had it coming to you, dad," he said. "You've not let her alone on the subject since you heard that Jack Fogarty was go- ing to marry Mame Martin." Mrs. Sheehan came around to her husband and laid her cheek against, 1 his. "Don't you be worrying, Hughie, dear," she said. 'She'll be herself again in the morning; she's been un- der an awful strain to-day and you ought not to have spoken so." They heard Judith come down- stairs and pause in the front hall "I'm going out. mother," she called, and her voice was as cool and smooth! as water, "Don't worry; I'll be! back soon." And she was gone, the. . heavy door echoing behind her. . Outside Judy walked east to Dear- born. Her first impulse had been to go to confession, but the thought of facing the gentle father while she was yet unrepentant, with anger to- ward her father still in her heart, was repugnant. She knew herself well enough to know that repentance would overtake her before the even- ing closed. She walked slowly north to the park. , The night was warm and pleasant and Lincoln Park was crowded. She had no desire to go near the lake, only to stay in the cool "dark trees. But every bench was occupied. Fin- ally she chose one with only one oc- cupant, a man with his hands in his buckets and hat pulled ever hii eyes. | She sat there quietly, watching the Jigs of the passing machines flash' She felt dull, listless and hopeless hot somehow, heartbroken. The man at the other end of the bench de- pressed her; he was so obviously less, too. Suddenly he sat up and pushed his hat bacR. She could 8 him looking at her. He spoke. evening, Judy Sheehan be said, using the full name, as an Irishuian often does. u turned to him quickly, al-| though the .voice had already told her who he was. ' "Good evening to you, Kavin O'Connell," she said, fall- lus naturally 'into the same style of He moved 'over beside her. Judith felt as if her Bart Bag stopped ach- ing and was resting for the first time in months. Gentle Kavin 0 Connell, lame, retiring, had armen Cheney that comes to few men of soothing and healing the deepest wounds. "You look tired," he said frank- 1y. Judith looked at him, wonderingly how much he knew. Surely every one in her small world was talking to-night of how Jack Fogarty, who had been so wild about Judy Shee- han, was that night marrying Mame Martin. If Kavin knew of it he gave no sign. "I am tired," she said and felt as if a burden had been lifted. They sat quietly for a while. ar Id you tell. me about Judy? Rightly speaking, if isn't as if I were like the others. 'I'm more like a father qr something,' Kavin said. "You are like a father," Judy agreed. "I've sometimes wondered why you never became a priest, Ka- vin." Kavin drew a quick breath and looked away. "It's because I'm a fool, I guess", he said. "I know no woman would look at a lame man; but I keep wanting a home and a wife and children." His voice was vibrant with a note that no one else had ever heard there, and Judy res- ponded to the note as she had never before responded to any man's voice. "I'd never be contented as a priest, beautiful as the life is. And there you have it." Silence fell between them. Judy forgot her own trouble and sympa- thized with Kavin. For the first time she realized his Irish pride, the pride that had kept her going for months. It was that that had made him a recluse. Kavin thought his trifling limp cut him off from mar- riage! "Kav," she said at last softly, "perhaps it's not maidenly of me to say it, but there's not a girl In the parish couldn't love you if you asked her. Not from pity, Kavin. it's yourself that makes so much of your little limp; it's hardly noticeable at all." Kavin was leaning forward, his hand clutched - between his knees. "You speak like an angel." he said, quietly. "But it's just out of the kindness of your sweet heart." Judy laughed grimly, and Kavin turned to look at her in surprise. "Sweet heart, is it?" she asked bit- terly. "And me just telling my fa- ther what I thought of him, and not going to confession because of the black hate 'in my heart. Oh, Ka- vin, I felt as if I must surely die if he threw it up to me again." She stopped, ashamed. Then she said dully: "I 'suppose it's no news to you. Jack's being married tonight, and my father was throwing it in my face, when it was all his fault. So I told him my mind and left the house, Don't call' we sweet, Kav." Kavin put a hand over her tightly clenched fists. "I'll not take it back." he said gently. "Surely a girl like you has the men all around her. Why should your father talk to you? He should be glad to keep you." Judith shook her head. "Since the night," she said Slgwly, "that Jack told me that he: was afraid to marry me because ry father drank, I've not so much as looked sideways at & man. For he might be right, and I'd be wrong in marrying." Kavin looked at her and stood up "Come away, Judy," he said. "It I tell you now what's in my heart you'll think it's out of pity. And if you gave me the answer that I'd pray and hope that you'd give me I might think it was out of pity on your side, too." But Judith sat quiet on the bench "Kavin, dear," she said and her voice throbbed in her throat, "Since thé night Jack left me I've been glad he came home with me aad saw my father like that, for. I've known all this time that I could never love him. It's been my pride that was hurt and not my heart; for though the time has been long to live through, I've felt no jealousy of the girl, Mame Martin, And I'm not one to feel no jealousy if the man she loved was to marry another girl" She looked up at him. Her eyes were starry in the dusk of the park, and she put her hands over her face. Kavin drew a long breath. 3 thank God," he said, 'that the othe man wasia coward, and that you cathe to-night and found me desper+ ate thinking you were heartbroken about him and that you were half wild yourself and Judith stood up and held out her hand to him. "Let's say no more to-night, Kavin," she said breathless- y. "It was true what Jack said, but if you're not afraid ig "I'm, afraid of only one thing," Kavin said hotly, "that I might lose you, being lame and &ll, and you a beauty that should have a fine straight man for a husband." Judith put her hand gently over his lips, trusting the dark path to hide her. "Come along home, Ka- vin, dearest," she said smiling, with tears in her eyes.

BIG TREE MAIL STATION. Renowned as the Oldest Postoffice Building In America. The pioneers of the northwest often made use of huge trees hollowed out by fire or decay. Somie.of these "tree houses" they occupied as temperary residences. Others they used ax shel ters for stock or as primitive ros Only one, however, ever had the dis tinction of being a United States post office. That stump is in Clallam coun ty. in the state of Washington. In early days the settlers were wide ly scattered, and it was a long jour ney over rough trails to the postoffice. Carriers could do no more than leave] mail at some central point. The big cedar stump, twelve feet in diameter | and reduced to a shell-by fire. was a base from which a number of "trails radiated. By common consent it became the postoffice for a. wide region. The set: tiers put on a roof of cedar shakes and nailed boxes around its interior, which they Tegunied ap marked with their names. There Ss a larger box for the outgoing mail. There were no locks, but the malls were never tam pered with, This primitive postoffice was used for more than a year. It has been carefully preserved aad 'is annually visited by hundreds of interested sight- seers. The stump is believed to be over 2,000 years old, which clearly es tablishes its right to the distinction of being the oldest postoffice building in America.--Youth's Companion, GRANDEES OF SPAIN. Etiquette of the .Hat That Differen- tiates the Three Ranks. A grandee of Spain enjoys the priv- flege, granted him many hundreds of years ago, of remaining "covered" in the presence of his sovereign. This custom dates from the period when, according to the theory then held, the king wis "the first among equals." The ancient formula always at the coronation of the kings of old Spain was: "We, your equals, choose you to reign over us." And the king as- sented in this declaration of his nobles. | There was a time when all grandees of Spain wore their hats in the pres- ence of the king, but in time the idea of caste began to prevail. even among the grandees, with the result that they were eventually divided into three classes, and these classéy were distin- guished by the hat etiquette. The first class entered the royal pres- ence covered; the second class entered uncovered, and after an advance of a few steps, put on their hats, unbidden by the king, and the third class also entered uncovered, but did not "cover" until requested to do so by the king. Then, according to the etiquette, "all were equal." There have been grandees who were not Spaniards--notably the Duke of Wellington, upon whom the cortes con- ferred the honor In recognition of;his services to the state.~Exchange. Safety First. 'It was a children's matinee of "Alice In Wonderland." Parties of small fri* convoyed by guardian adults had been pouring in a steady stream down the aisles to settle in their seats with much flutter of short skirts and bobbing of heads and tossing' back of curls. One group consisted of -mether and nurse, 8 gay little maid of eight or so, and a solemn little boy somewhat younger, Each child clutched a pro- gram, and on their faces was a look of rapt expectancy. AS they were filing into their seats the little girl pulled at her mother's sleeve and said in a loud stage whisper: "Mother, don't you think you and Marie had better sit at the two ends to keep away the germs, you know?'-- New York Post.

Trai ® 1 -- SURROUNDING AN ARMY. Turning the Enemy's Flanks and Roll- | ing Up the Entire Line. Those not familiar with military tae | tics have a very vague idea as to how | an army is surrounded. It is generally believed that a commander = who { schemes to encircle his enemy with an | impenetrable ring of guns and men | must conceive some method of manew +~vering his troops round to the rear of | his opponent's army. It is possible] | howevur, for a general well versed int | field tactics to cleverly "roll up" a large body of troops by frontal attack alone This is accomplished by means of flank: ing movements. | For purposes of example let us imag I am hunible; but all:powetlul. | ne two armies facing one another | drawn up in two long lines. Behind one of the battle lines a body of re serve troops stealthily make their way over to the right. Their purpose is fc | make a sudden onslaught on one epd of | the enemy's lie. At exactly the right | moment, when the artillery fire is at ite | fiercest, the reserve troops violently at | tack the forces situated at the extreme | left of the enemy's front. The attack: | ing force, owing to its overwhelming | numbers, bends back the end of the | assailed army. "It refuses its right," | as military wen say. : At the opposite end of the line a simi | lar attack is launched, which has the | efféct of forcing back the enemy's | right. An army" which "refuses" al most .at the 'same time its "left" and | "right" wings is doomed. Unless a | very speedy retreat is carried out the whole force is "rolled up," as both its flanks are forced back. As the right and left flanks of the enemy give ground the attacking troops slowly force their way to the rear of the assailed army, closing in the while. The result is that within a few hours the defeated foree is entirely | surrounded, although in the first in | stance it was attacked from its front | alone.--~Pearson's Weekly. DEATH CAP AND FLY CAP. | The Most Deadly of All Species of | Poisonous Mushrooms. The two most feared and deadly poisonous mushrooms the world over are the death cap (Amanita phalloides) and the fly cap (Amanita muscaria). These two species in the same genus bave destroyed several emperors, a pope and probably average 500 deaths annually in various parts of the world, to say nothing of innumerable mam: mals, birds, reptiles and insects, the latter being almost wholly destroyed by poisonous fungi. Of the two deadly species, muscaria is most easily detected by the layman. It is a large, showy mushroom, orange yellow in color. with what looks like warts over the cap. You see them in dooryards, where evergreens are growing. sometimes thousands of them, standing up, tall and splendid in the grass. Keep your hens in the hen- yard and your cow in the barn while these fellows are up, with their tempt. ing gppearance. The species Amanita phalloides can readily be avoided. Whatever the color of the cap. white or gray, the under side of ft, the gills, are pure white. The cap may or may not be covered wi warty protuberance. The stem ter minates in a bulb, usually wholly or partially beneath the-#oil. If a large, deep 'chunk of earth is taken out | around, 'the bulb invariably will be found setting in a cup. Handle a poisonous mushroom as freely as you like, but do not experiment with one ut the table. There are other specles, lepiota, that. closely resemble it and which may be deliciously edible. You cannot learn these differences from the books. Only an expert, with the sev- eral fresh species in hand, can®teach you such differences.~New York Press. | Valparaiso at Night. | .

Great Britain has cut down her do- mestic expenditures enormously. Soon after the war began the South African Government at once took steps to curtail the expenditure as far as possible. India promptly met the shrinkage in revenue conse- quent on the war by a curtailment of expenditure that obviated the ne- cessity of restoring to additional tax-| ation. Similar policies were adopt-| ed by Australia and New Zealand. Canada alone, among the British] Dominions, has ignored the condition| created by the war, and is carrying on a lavish spending programme, with total expenditures, apart from the war, of over $60,000,000 more | than they were four years ago. The| debt, on domestic account alone, is| piling up in an appalling manner. Fresh taxation looms ahead.
