On every side she saw a kindly people borne down by the weight of poverty. lives ruined by sickness and the lack of nourishmentâ€"a splendid race per- Lshing through misg n'overnment and in- olerant ignorance. ' Angela went about among the peo- ple and made friends with them. They were chary at first of taking her to their hearts. She was of the hated Saxon race. What was she doing thereâ€"she, the sister of their, till now, absentee landlord? She soon won them over by her appealing voice and kindly interest. All this Angela did in direct opposio tion to her brother’s wishes and her sister’s exhortations. The morning of the meeting she had ridden some miles to visit a poor fam- ily. Out of five three were In bed with low fever. She got a doctor for them, gave them money to buy neces- saries, and, with a promise to return the next day. she rode away. When within some little distance of her brother’s house she saw a steady, irregular stream of maple climbing a great hill. She rode toward it and, screened by a clump of trees. saw and heard her first. “home rule" meeting. When Frank O'Connell first spoke his voice thrilled her. Gradually the excitement of the people under the mastery of his power communicated itself to her. It pulsed in her blood and throbbed in her brain. For the first time she realized what a marvel- ous force was the can of the patriot. To listen and watch a man risking life and liberty in the cause of his coun- tryâ€"her heart and her mind and her soul went out to him. his tour of inspection. Mr. Chicbester was actively engaged t the Old Bailey on an important ‘rriminal case. so Monica also joined When the soldiers marched on to the scene she was paralyzed with fear. When an order to fire was given she wanted to ride into their midst and cry out to them to stop. But she was unable to move hand or foot. When the smoke had thinned and she saw lying motionless on the ground the bodies'ot’ men who a moment be- fore had been full of life and strength: when was added to that the horror of the wounded crying out with pain. her tirst impulse was to fly from the sight of the carnage.

The long. slow. tortuous journey home. the men slowly following with the ghastly. mute body on the rude lit. ter. became a living memory to her for all the remainder of her life. In a few minutes Angela came into the ’room. She was deathly pale. Her voice trembled as she spoke: : “W but do you want?” } “Why did you bring that man here?” 1 “Because he is wounded.” “Such scoundrels are better dead.” . “I don’t think so. Nor do I think 'him a Scoundrel.” 1 “He came here to attack landlordsâ€" ' to attack rueâ€"me! And you bring him -, to my house and with that rabble! It‘s 1outrageous! Monstrous!” She glanced down every little while at the stone white face and shuddet'ed as she found herself wondering: if she would ever hear his voice again or see those great blue eyes flash with his fierce courage and devotion. en the time came that she seemed xyish to marry. if her brother ap- wad of the match. he should make andsome settlement on her r. 11 response to her request Nathaniel Lowed her to go with him to Ireland As they neared her brother's house stragglcrs began to follow curiously.

ATIIANIEL'S indignation at his sister's conduct was beyond bounds when he learned who the wounded man was. He ordered the soldiers to take the man and themselves away. The magistrate interposed and begged him at least to let O‘Connell rest there until a doctor could patch him up. it might beda - gel'oas to take him hack without medi- cal treatment. He assured Nathaniel that the moment they 'could move him he would be lodged in the county jail. Nathaniel went back to his study as the sorry procession passed on to the front door. He sent immediately for his sister. The reply came back that she would see him at dinner. He commanded her to come to him at 01109. “He leaves here the moment a fru- bou ottonflafl him ” “I couldnt leave him with those heartless wretches to die in their hands.” EG O’MY HEART Continued from page 6. “Very well. Is that all?” “No. it isn’t!“ Kingsnortb tried to oontroi his anger. After a pause he I-untinued: “I want no more of these foclhartb'. quixotic actions of yours. I‘ve heard of your visiting these wretched peopleâ€"going into fever dens. Is that conduct hex-omiug to your name? Think a little of your station in life and what it demands." “I wish you did a little more.“ "What?" he shouted. all his anger returned. am only a few feet away. I repeat that I wish you thought a little more of your obligations. If you did and others like you in the same position you are in. there would he no such hor- rible scenes as I saw todayâ€"a man shot down among his own people for speaking the truth.” "There‘s no need to raise your voice.” Angela answered quietly. “I "You saw it ?” Nathaniel asked in dis: may. “I did. I not only saw, but I heard. I wish you had too. I heard a man lay bare his heart and his brain and his soul that others might know the light in them. 1 saw and heard a man ofler up his life that others might know some gleam of happiness in their lives. It was wonderful! It was “If I ever hear of your doing such a thing again you shall go back to Lon- don the next day." heroic!

Beâ€" cause one of our forefathers cheated the world into giving him a fortune by buying his goods for more than they were worth we have tried to canonize him and put a halo around the name of Kingsnorth.

A Kingsnorth swindled its rightful ownerâ€"lent him money on usury. bought up his bills and his mortgages and when he couidu‘t pay foreclosed on him. No wonder there's a curse on the village and on us!" Kingsnorth tried to speak. but she stopped him: “Wait a moment. It was a good stroke of business taking this estate away. Oh. yes. it vas a good stroke of business! Our name has been built up on ‘good strokes of business.‘ Well. I tell you it‘s a bad stroke of business when human lives are put into the hands of such creatures as we Kings- norths have proved ourselves!" “Stop!” cried Nathaniel. outraged to the innermost sanctuary of his being. “Stop! You don‘t speak like one of our family. It is like listening to some hernia-some"â€" "I don't feel like one of your fami- ly. You are a Kingsnorth. 1 am my mother‘s childâ€"my poor. gentle. pa- tient mother. who lived a life of un- selfish resignation, who welcomed death when it came to her as a release from tyranny.

"Don't let it be :1 burden.” “I‘ve never been so shockedâ€"so stunned“â€" “1 am glad. From my (‘mme I've been shocked and stunnod~iu my home.

The men masters and the wom- en slaves! That is the Kingsnorth doctrine." “My father knew I would respect his wishes." A servant came in to tell Angela the doctor had come. Without a word An- gela went out to see to the wounded man. The servant followed her. Let alone, Nathaniel sat down. shock. ed and stunned. to review the inter- view he had just had with his young- er sister. When An "ela entered the sickroom she found Dr. McGinnis. a cheery, bright eyed. rotund little man of fifty. talking freely to the patient and punco mating each speech with a hearty laugh. His good humor was infec- tious. The wounded agitator felt the effect of it and was trying to laugh feebly himself. “Sure it‘s the fine target ye must have made with yer six feet and one inch. How could the poor soldiers help bittin‘ ye? Answer me that!” And the jovial doctor laughed again as he dexterously wound a bandage around O'Connell‘s arm.’ “Aisy now whfle I tie the bandage. me fine fellow. Ye’ll live to see the inside of an English jail yet." He turned as he heard the door open and greeted Angela. “Good afternoon to ye. Miss Kings- north. Faith. it's a blessin’ ye brought the boy here. There’s no tellin' what the prison surgeon would have done to him. It is saltpeter. they tell me. the English doctors rub into the Irish wounds to kupe them smartin’. And. by the like token. they do the same. too. in the English house of commons. Saltpeter in Ireland‘s wounds is what they give us.” “Is be much hurt?" asked Angela. “Well, they’ve broken nothin'. Just blackened his face and made a few holes in his skin. It's buckshot they used. Buckshot! Thank the merciful Mr. Foster for that same. 'Buckshot Foster.’ as the Irish reverently call him.” “What a dastardly thing to do!" she cried. “Ye may well say that. Miss Kings- horth," said the merry little doctor. “But it‘s hetther than a bullet from a Martini-Henry rifle, that‘s what it is. And there's many :1 poor English tand- lord's got one of 'em in the hack for ridin’ about at night on his own land.
