WORKER IN HUMBLE SPHERE.

BACK TO "GOOD OLD DEVON

How Sir Reginald Wolseley, tenth baronet of Ins line, who for years has earned his living in the United States, made up his mind to return home was explained by his newly-made wife, when she arrived in England from America, a few weeks ago. Quite recently Lady W6lseley went to America to marry Sir Reginald, who, report stated, was working as a liftman or librarian in Waterloo, lowa. She stated she wished to correct reports that had been published concerning her romance.

" Sir Reginald arid I are very old friends," Ladv olselev explained. "There is an impression that he is a forking man. That i 3 not true. Hie truth is that he was always delicate, and when he was 19, having no father, a friend of the family took an interest in him and sent hirn to Canada to do farming. He was totally unsuited for the work, and soon wandered off on another job. For 3-3 years he has been out there—a square peg in a round hole. "For some time be was doing ail kinds of work, but for the last few years he has been settled in one job. I would father not say what, the job is, but he haj a comfortable billet, and is remaining there until I have found a house for him to come home to. He would havo come hrinrs years ago, but he was too proud to be a burden to his family. Nor would he think of coming home now to live on his wife.

" Friends of mine are helping me, and I think I shall soon he ablo to fix up a post for Sir Reginald iri his ri sphere, ■which is Looks lit: is a deep thinker ® f id a deep reader It is eight years •inco he came into the title, succeeding the ninth baronet, Sir Capel Wolseley, but ho thought it wiser not to use the title in view of his position out there.

" A few months ago, when Sir Reginald's mother died, 1 received two letters, one addressed to run and one addressed to him. 1 Si* mother's request to rue was to go and persuade him to come back.
