From a country correspondent. • It promised to be a lovely day and the morning mist floating over the ugly water-tower at endowed it with a fictitious air of beauty. " What a quaint old tower ! " said the charming lady by the driver. " Has it a romantic history? " Rising to the occasion the driver poured out the tale—a romance indeed—of the jealous husband who had imprisoned his beautiful young wife there' until she gained freedom by throwing herself from the battlements and perished on the rocks below. When we stopped for luncheon we tackled him—" Why did you tell that lady such a yarn about the water-tower ? She'll be furious when she finds out it's a lie." " Not she, sir," he assured us. " Ladies 'd rather a driver was an interesting liar than merely truthful and dull."
