A year after the events in the pre ceding chapter took place O'Connell and his young wife were living in a small apartment in one or the poorer seetions of New York city. The first few months In America had been glorious ones for them. Their characters and natures unfolded to each other as some wonderful paint- ings, each taking Its own hues from the adoration of the other. In company with a noted Irish or- ganizer Q’Connell had spoken in many of the big cities of the United States and was everywhere hailed “.3 a hero and a martyr to Em, lisb tyxnnny.

On her part Angela took nothing with her but a few jewels her mother had left her. some clothes and very little money. The money soon disap- peared, and then one by one the keep- sakes ot her mother were parted with. But they never lost heart. Through it all they were happy. All the poetry of O'Connell‘s nature came uppermost. leavened, as it was, by the deep faith and renerntlon of his wife.

His active brain was continually try- ing to devise new ways of adding to his meager income. He multiplied his duties. He worked far into the night when he could find a demand for his articles. But little by little his sources of revenue failed him. Some fresh and horrible agrarian crimes in Ireland. for which the home rule party was blamed. for awhile turned the tide of sympathy against his party. The order was sent out to discontinue meetings for the purpose of collecting funds in America-funds the Irish Americans had been so cheer- fully and plentifully bestowing on the “cause."

He had built so much on making a wonderful career in the great new world and returning home some day to Ireland with the means of re- lieving some of her misery and with his wife guarded, as she should be. from the possibility of want.
