"Rest, is it, with all the throuble in the wurrlid beatin‘ in me brain and throbbin‘ in me beart?" "Try to sleep until the doctor comes tonight." He lay back and closed his eyes. Angela sat perfectly still. In a few minutes be opened them again. ‘There was a new light in his eyes and a smile on his lips. "Ye beard me speak, did ye?" "*Yes." "Where were ye?‘ "Above you, behind a bank of trees." A playful smile played around his lips as hbhe said,. "It was a good speech, wasn‘t it?" "And what were yer feelin‘s listenâ€" in‘ to a man urgin‘ the people against yer own country ?" He paused again, looking at her in tentiy, while his tingers ciutched the coveriet convulsively as if to stifle a ery of pain. "May I ask ye yer name?‘ he gasped. "Angela," she said, almost in a whisâ€" "I thought it wonderful," Angela anâ€" swered. "I felt 1 wanted to stand beside you and echo everything you said." "As a child and as a woman," said Angela. "And ye‘ve gone about bere tryin‘ to help them, too, haven‘t ye?" "I1 could do very little." "Well, the spirit is thereâ€"and the heart is there. If they bhadn‘t liked you it‘s the sorry time maybe your brother would have." He looked at her curiously. "You and yer mother cried over us? "We did. Indeed we did." "They say the heart of England is in its womankind. But they bave nothâ€" ing to do with her laws." "They will have some day." $ ‘â€"_"It‘ll be a long time comin‘, I‘m thinkin‘. If they take so long to free a whole country how long do ye supâ€" pose it‘ll take them to free a whole sex â€"and the female one at that?" \ "It will come!" she said resolutely. \~"And you cried over Ireland‘s sorâ€" rows ?" "If bhe‘s anything like bis father it‘s small heed be‘ll pay to your pleading. The poor wretches here appealed to old Kingsnorth in famine and sickness â€"not for help, mind ye, jJust for a litâ€" tle time to pay their rentsâ€"and the only answer they ever got from him was ‘Pay or go" * "No. To care for you, to protect you." "Protect me?" "If I can." "That‘s strange." "I heard you speak today." She paused. ‘"You mustn‘t go to prison." "It‘s the lot of every Irishman today who says what he thinks." "I know, I know!" Angela replied. "And many a time when I was a child my mother and 1 cried over it." "It mustn‘t be yours! It musta‘t!" Angela‘s voice rose in her distress She repeated: "It mustno‘t! I‘ll appeal to my brother to stop it." "*Your brother is a landlordâ€"‘Kingsâ€" north, the absentee landlord," we used to call your father as children.. And I‘m in his son‘s house. T‘d betther be in jail than bhere." "You mustn‘t think that." ; ‘"You‘ve brought me here to bhumil}â€" late meâ€"to bhumiliate me!" 7 "Mid you?" And his eyes blazed and is voice rose. Angela sat down at a little Gdistance from the sickbed and watched the wounded man. His face was drawn with pain. . His eyes were closed. But be was not sleeping. His fingers lock:â€" ed and unlocked. His lips moved. He opened his eyes and looked at her. __*"*You need not stay here," he said. "Would you rather 1 didn‘t?" "Why did you bring me here?" "To make sure your wounds were attended to." "Goodby for the present, Miss Kingsâ€" north. Sure it‘s in good hbhands I‘m lavin‘ him. But for you he‘d be lyin‘ in the black jail with old Dr. Costello glarin‘ down at him with his gimlet eyes." The memory of her mother was the only link that bound her to ber childâ€" boodâ€"the gentile, uncomplaining spirâ€" it of her, the unseltisbh abnegation of her, the soul‘s tragedy of ber, giving up her life at the alitar of duty at the bidding of a bardened despot. She was roused from her self searchâ€" ing thoughts by the doctor‘s voice and the touch of his hand. Then arose a picture of ber sister, Monica, with her puny social pretenâ€" sionsâ€"recognition of those in a highâ€" er grade, bread and meat and drink to her; adulation and gross fattery, the very breath of her nostrils; bher brothâ€" er‘s cheap, narrow platitudes about the rights of rank and wealth. * Here was a man in the real heart of lifee He was engaged in a struggle that makes existence worth whileâ€"the effort to bring a message to his people. i «HAPTER HN1. 1 The Irish Patriot. O far no man in the little walled in zone she bhad lived in bad ever stirred Angela to an even momentary enthusiasm. . They were all so fatuously contented with their environiment. Sheltered_ from birth, their anxiety was chiefly bhow to make life pass the pleasiuutest. They occasionally showed a spas modic excitement over the progress of a cricket or polo match. Their achieveâ€" ments were largely those of the stay at home warriors who fought with the quill what others faced death with the sword for. Their inertia disgusted ber. Their seif satisfaction spurred bher to resentment. You spoke as some prophet speak WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1915 b And back of it all the yearning that at the end she would be waiting and watching for his return to the conflict for the great "cause‘" to which he had dedicated his life. On the morning of the third day Mr. Roche, the resident magistrate, was sent for by Nathaniel Kingsnorth. Mr. Roche found him firm and determined, his back to the fireplace, in which a bright fire was burning, although the month was July. "I‘ve sent for you to remove this man O‘Connell," added Nathaniel aft er a pause. Angela inspired hbhim with all these. In the three days she ministered to him she bhad opened up a vista he had hitherto never known. And now he had to leave it and face his accusers and be hectored and jeered at in the mockery they called "trials." From the courthouse hbe would go to the prisâ€" on, and thence he would be sent back into the world with the brand ot the prison cell upon hims "Certain‘râ€"if be is weli enough to be moved." 6 She read to him and talked to him and lectured him and comforted him. Well, whatever hig torture, he knew bhe would come out bett.er equipped for the struggle. He had learned some thing of himself he hbad so far never dreamed of in his bitter struggle with the bandicap of his life. He hbad something to live for now besides the call of his countryâ€"the call of the heartâ€"the cry of beauty and truth and reverence. day hbad snapped@ his self control at last. The floodgates were opened. He sobbed and sobbed ilike some tired, hurt child. Angela tried to comfort him. In a moment she was crying too. He took her hand and kissed it repeatâ€" edly, the tears falling on it as he did so. And in a little while he must leave it all. He must stand his trial ander the "crimes act‘" for speaking at a "proâ€" claimed" meeting. Three days afterward O‘Connell was able to dress and move about his room. He was weak from loss of blood and the confinement that an active man reâ€" sents. But his brain was clear and vivid. They had been three wonderful days. Angela bad made them the: most amazing in his life. The memory of those hours spent with her he would carry to his grave. In that one enlightening moment of emotion their hearts were laid bare to each otoer. The great comedy of life between man and woman bad begun. "God bless ye! God bless cried. In that moment of self revelation their bhearts went out to each other. Neither had known hbhappiness nor love nor faith in mankind. O‘Connell Had Endured Months of Torture. A Angela brought him some water and helped him up while he drank it. She smoothed ‘back the shining bairâ€"red, shot through goldâ€"from his forehead. He thanked her with a look. Suddenly be burst into tears. The strain of the "I will!" cried O‘Connell. "Some day the yoke will be lifted from us. God grant that mine will be the band to help do it. God grant 1 am alive to see it done. ~That day‘ll be worth livin‘ forâ€"to wring recognition from our eneâ€" mies, toâ€"toâ€"to"â€" He sank back weakâ€" ly on the pillow, his voice falling to a whisper. ‘"They will," said Angela eagerly. "Oh, how 1 wish I‘d been born a man to throw in my lot with the weak, to bring comfort to sorrow, freedom to the oppressed, joy to wretchedness! That is your mission. How 1 envy you! 1 glory in what the future has in store for you. Live for it! Live for it!"" "I tried to bring them comfort, and 1 got them broken heads and buckshot." "It‘s only through suffering every great cause triumphs," said Angela. He smiled whimsically as he said in a weary voice: **Then the Irish should triumph some day, ‘They‘ve suffered enough, God knows." 1 ing in a wilderness of sorrow trying to bring them comfort." 13 well.

Other public services of continuing and growing value were inaugurated, while Professor Robertson was Comâ€" missioner of Agriculture. Among them were the Live Stock Branch, the Cold Storage Service, the Seed Grain Competitions, Trial Shipments of Fruit to the United Kingdom, and exâ€" tensions of Markets. In more recent years, Dr. Robertson was Chairman of the Royal Commisâ€" sion on Industrial Training and Techâ€" nical Education. Farmers in all proâ€" vinces are familiar with the Survey of Farms by the Commission of Conâ€" servation and the Illustration Farms of its Committee on Lands, of which he is chairman. In these and many other ways, Dr. Robertson has given the farmers _ of Canada the best that was in him. He says he is their debter, for many opâ€" portunities, for much kindness and for warm appreciations: But they are his debtors too. And he now reminds them of that for the first time in order to establish his right and privilege to appeal to them for this worthy cause. Dr. Robeftson is still best known to the farmers of Canada as Professor Robertson. ~He began his official puâ€" blic service at the Ontario Agriculture College nearly thirty years ago. Twen tyâ€"five years ago he went to Ottawa as Dairy Commissioner for the Dominâ€" ion. The Dairying Service of the Deâ€" partment of Agriculture soon became known and trusted throughout Canaâ€" da. From Prince Edward Island to Alberta, farmers profited by the Illusâ€" tration Dairy Stations and the Travelâ€" ling Instructors: The output of cheese and butter in Canada added to the reâ€" putation of its rural workers.
