| Mr.. Froude has come like man going to confess
| sion. He cries out, 'We have sinned, we have
s1med but ne promises no no n the
the roll of inqnity that we have been contemplat-

| things-which Mr.. Froude thinks they have not
now-unlon as one man. and a determination not
| to shcathe the sword until they gain their free

without which there Is no hope for her.
