Alllibertylovingnationsoftheworld owetotheIrishtherecognitionofthe independenceofIreland,notonlybecauseoftheindisputablerightofthe peopleofIrelandtogoverntheirown nationaldestinies,butalsobecause thatrightisdeniedbyEnglandon groundswhichareanegationofnationallibertyeverywhere,andentirely subversiveofinternationalpeaceand order.

"Thegovernmentofapeoplebyitself,"wroteJohnStuartMill("RepresentativeGovernment."CXVIII.) "hasameaningandareality;butsuch athingasthegovernmentofonepeoplebyanother,doesnotandcannot exist."Consequently,thepeopleof Englanddeputethepowertheyhold overIrelandtoasuccessionofsatraps, militaryandcivil,whoarequiteirresponsibleandindependentofpopular control,EnglishorIrish,andwhorepresentnointerestoftheIrishpeople.

ThestrugglingpatriotsofAmerica askedhelp,andnotunreasonably,from thepeopleofIreland,andthepages ofhistoryrevealthefactthatthepeopleofIrelandrespondedtothecall, financiallyaswellasotherwise.Itis quitetruetosaythatthebondsof friendshipbetweenAmericaandIrelandwereofsuchanatureastowarranttheappeal.Itisjustastrueto saythatthebondsoffriendshipare, oratleastoughttobe,strongerto-day, moresacredto-day.

"Oh,SacredHeart,Iamsoweak: helpmetofulfilyourholywill,"she murmured,thenrecollectingthather parentswereawaitingheroutside,she rosefromherkneesandreluctantly leftthechurch.ThefollowingmorningMrs.Murrayenteredthebreakfastroominanunusuallygoodhumour.

AndmuchtoMrs.Murray'ssatisfaction,Edwarddidnotfailtokeephis word.Infact.hisingenuityininventingexcusesforhisdailyvisitswasmarvellous.OneafternoonasMrs.Murraysatchattingpleasantlytoherespecialfriend,Mrs.Burke,thelatterremarked:"Bytheway,Ednaseemsto beveryintimatewithyoungHunt.I expectwewillbehearingoftheirengagementnext.-

AtdinnerthateveningEdna'sabsencewasparticularlynoticed.

"Marytellsmethechildhasaheadache,-explainedMrs.Murraytoher husband."I'llgouppresentlyand seehowsheis."

"Whatailsyou,dear?"wasthe anxiousmother'sinquiry,assheenteredherdaughter'sroomhalfanhour later

"Oh,mother,Iaccidentallyoverheard theremarksyoumadetoMrs.Burke. Howcouldyouspeakso?"

But,unfortunately,thisgoodresolutionwasnevercarriedintoeffect,for. thefollowingdayMrs.Murraywas takensuddenlyill.andEdna'sconcern forherbelovedparentsweptallother matters,greatandsmall,outofher mind.Tomakemattersworse,Mr. Murraywasinthecityonbusiness,and butforEdward'skindlyaid,andsensibleadvice,theinexperiencedgirt wouldhavebeenwell-nighdistracted.

''IcanneverthankEdwardsufficientlyforhisgreatkindnesstousduringyourillness,"shesaidtohermother onedayduringtheperiodofconvalescence.Mrs.Murraymadenocomment,butsmiledwellpleased. SomeweekslaterEdwardmadeEdna aproposalofmarriage,andthenthe oldwearyconflictwasresumed.
