Already more than one prominent speaker had come into the little village and sown the seeds of temporal and spiritual unrest. Father Cahill opposed these men to the utmost of his power. He saw, as so many farsighted priests did. the legacy of bloodshed and desolation that would follow any direct action by the Irish against the British govern- ment. Though the blood of the patriot beat in Father Cahill's veins, the wel.‘ being of the people who had grown up with 'him was near to his heart. He was their priest. and he could not beat to think of men he had known as chil- dren being beaten and maimed by con- stabulary and sent to prison afterward in the fight for self government. To his horror that day he met Frank. Owen O'Connell. one or the best known of all the younger agitators. in the main street of the little village. O’Connell's backsliding had been one of Father Cahill's bitterest regrets. He had closed O‘Connell's father’s eyes in death and had taken care of the boy as well as he could. But at the age of fifteen the youth left the village. that, had .so many wretched memories of hardship and struggle'and worked his way to Dublin.

But of late there O‘Connell looked at. him with a mis~ chievous twinkle in his blue-gray eyes: “Yer eloquence seems to made some- thin’ to back it up, I‘m tbinkln’.” Father Cahill “breathed hard. He was a splendid type of the Irish parish prigst; of the old school. Gifted with “And that‘s what ye are. And ye‘d have others like yerself.

He was noted for his hatred of the Irish." It was the one topic of conversation throughout dinner. And It was on her first homecoming since her mothers death that her at!- tention was really drawn to her ta- ther‘s Irish possessions. Angela had nothing in common with either her brother or her sister. She avoided them and they her. They did not understand her. Shé understood them only too well. A nature that craved for sympathy and afl’ectionâ€"as the frail so often doâ€"was repulsed by those to whom atfec'tion' was- but a form and sympathy a term of reproach. Not needing her, Kingsnorth did not love her. He gave her a form of tol. erant affection. Too fragile to mix with others, she was brought up at home. Tutors furnished her education The winters she passed abroad with her mother. When her mother died she spent them with relations or friends. The grim dampness of the English climate was too rigorous for a life that needed sunshine. stant attention to keep her alive. From tremulous infancy she grew into deli. cate youth.

Frederick Chicbester came of a long line of illustrious lawyers. One had even reached the distinction of being made a judge. He belonged to an bon- orable profession. The old man was overjoyed. When she married Frederick Chl- cbester, the rising barrister, connected with six county families. it was a proud day for old Kingsnorth. His family had originally made their money in trade.

Continued on page 7‘ Without a word Angela got up quiet- 13’ and left the room. Her manner was entirely unmoved. She had spoken from her inmost convictions. * The fact that they were opposed to her father was immaterial. She loathed tyranny. and his method of shutting the mouths of thOse who disam‘eed with him was Particularly obnoxious to her. It was also most inefiectual with her. From childhood she had always spoken as. she felt. No discipline checked her. Freedom of speech as well as freedom of thought was as natural and essen- tial to her as breathing. “Why. little Angola has come back to us quite a revolutionary,” said Na- thaniel. “Leave the ther. - “He is. I don’t see why the Liberal party should have all the enlighten- ment and the Conservative party all the bigotry.“ “Don‘t {Inger your father!" pleaded Monica. “The more shame to him to talk like that to a girl. And. what’s more. you had no right to listen to him. A Con- servative indeed! A fine one he must be!” “I’ve done more than that," replied Angela. "In Nice :1 month ago were two English members of parliament who had taken the trouble to visit the country they were supposed to assist in governing. They told me that a condition of misery existed throughout the whole of Ireland that was incredi- ble under a civilized government.” “Radicais. eh?" snapped her father. “No; Conservatives. One of them had once held the otiice of chief secre- tary for Ireland and was Ireland's most bitter prosecutor until he visited the country. When he saw the wretchedness of her people he stopped his stringent methods and began cast- ing about for some way of lessening the poor people’s torment.” Nathaniel laughed good naturedly, leaned across to Angela and said: “This is exactly the old fashioned tone we En "lish take to anything we don’t understand. And that is why other countries are leaving: us in the race. There is a nation living within a few hours‘ journey from our doors. yet millions of English people are as ignorant of them as if they lived in Senegambia." She paused. looked once more straight into her father's eyes and said. “And you. father. seem to he as ignorant as the worst of them!” “I see our little sister has been reading the sensational magazines. Kingsnorth looked at his daughter aghast. Treason in his own house! His child speaking the two most hated of all words at his own dinner table and in landatory terms! He could scarcely believe it. He looked at her a moment and then thundered: “How dare you! How dare you!" Angela smiled a little amusedly tol- erant smile as she looked frankly at her father and answered: “Turn to your judgesâ€"the lord chief is an Irishman. Look at the house of commons. Our hms are passed or de- feated by the Irish vote. and yet so blindly ignorant and obstinate is our insular prejudice that we refuse them the favors they do usâ€"governing them- selves as well as England." Without noticing the interruption or the question. Angela went on: "Why deny a country its own government when England is practically governed by its countrymen? Is there any po- sition of prominence today in England that isn’t filled by Irishmen? Think! Our commander in chief is Irish; our lord high admin! is Irish; there are the defenses of the English in the hands of two Irishmen. and yet you call them thieving and ruscnlly scouno drels!" Kingsnorth tried to speak; Angela raised her voice: Yes? “I mean do you know anything about the people?" insisted Angela. “I know them to be a lot of thiev- ing. rascally scoundrels, too lazy to work and too dishonest to pay their way even when they have the money.” “13 that all you know?“ “Isn't it enough?" His voice rose shrilly. It was the first time for years any one had dared use those two hated words “Ireland" and "Irish" at his ta- ble. Angela must be checked and at once. "It wouldn‘t be enough for me if I had the responsibilities and duties of a landlord. To be the owner of an estate should be to act as the people's friend. their father. their adviser in times of plenty and their comrade in times of sorrow.” Irish ‘3" persisted Angela. "Do I?
