Ships came in and ships went out, and
the lonely soldier leaned on his uusket,
and thought Of how many long, weary
days there we're between him and the
open harbor Of Alicante. When at lib
erty to leave the forts Antonio would
wander through the city, never seeing
q spot equal to sonle u;aforgotten resort
ia Alicante, or among the Havanese
ladies any beauty like that OF his beau
tjful Camilla Teliez.
But IN time the sickness that had
overcome so many Of his comrades fell
on Antonio. ''Sick unto DEATH; ana
his mother and Camilla So far away--so
many weary leagues between them; q
gauntlet OF SO many long. weary noonths
of suffering to run! No wonder An

would not give her up: and he kept his
| word, which the Greek did not. CAS-

hall said he would not restore her.
Everything else he would give, but it
would not be the woman. War fol-
lowed and Cumhall was slain and most
of his army with him, but Fionn was
born in due time, and proved himself
the worthy son of a gallant father.
Born in the house of stranger, and
fostered among the lonely woods and
mountains, the boy grew up to be a
poet hero, redressing wrongs and
avenging injuries. He conquered Or
made friends of all his foes, re-estab-
l;sbed the famous Fenian militia, and
became the most frmous warrior OF his
times in Western Europe. He was the
| real founder Of knight-errantry and me-
di;eval chivalry. for, centuries before
Arthur or Roland. it was part OF the
Fenlan code to avenge the wrongs Of
women all over the world.
Around the splep did son OF Cumhall
sprung up a school Of heroes scarce less
renowned, OIsin, OSCAR. Coll, DER
mud, and others, whose deeds and
death have made the Tyre Of Erin re-
sonant for nigh two thousand years.
With wars and battles were their days
mostly flied, it is true, and in univer-
sa! slaughter did their flag sink forever
at the battle of Gabhrah, but there were
glorious and Joyous intervals of song.
love and friendship. Those heroes
We're true TO each other as friends. as
no body Of men were since or before.
Their lives were as the course OF the
sun, all bright, and their loves and
friendship, all beautiful and tender.
The Irish epic, however, is not con-
fined TO Fionn and his chiefs. Before
his day was enacted the tragedy OF
Deirdre and the sons Of Usnoch, a tale
of exile and return, of love and death,
of friendship and betrayal, unsurpassed
in the literature of the world. In the
fate Of the children OF Tuirean We see
ali that is best and worst in the Ce]t to-
day as we'll as three thousand years
ago. The cruel killing of their liins-
men, the long expiatipn, the love Of
country tho Tenderness nf fS noiiv afFpc-
tion, and the final, most sorrowful
death of father and sons. Then there
is the epic of Cuchul!an, the most low
able, grandest, tenderest, terriblest Of
them all When we read and ponder
these records OF q life that is no more
we cannot help hoping that men will
find out again that there are better
things than gold to live for.

CHI NPTER Ill.

one beautiful July evening. Antonio
had been more restless and lonesome
than ever during, the day, and the
pleasantness Of the evening only i'll

from the hospital into the narrow
streets Of the city. Hut being soon
fatigued with walking he started to re-
turn TO his hospital prison.
Going through a familiar street he"
passed All old church in which iie had
often been. After passing he stopped
and looked back. Something seemed
to invite him to enter. Overcome with
this feeling he Went back, almost Ger
tain that the great doors would deny
him admittance; but he was mistaken
as they were aiar.
The church had Il beautiful altar: In
front Of it on each side of the broad
isla, were two pedestals, or each OF
which was the image Of a kneellng
angel. Often for nany {: pleasant hour
had the sick soldier watched this altar
and it's surroundings with feelings
which only a sick Spanish soldier could
have. But Tonight the light Of the
pale moon shone through the great col
ored windows behind the altar, and
fell in the softest colors OH the throne
like altar, but more than ALL OH the
kneeling angels. Fascinated with q
surprise so pure and beautiful, Antonio
drew nigh, and falling on his knees at
the railing OF the sanctuary, while the
scalding tears rolled down his fevered
cheeks. he praved from o. broken heart
to be restored to bis home and his dear
ones; he asked the intercessiou Of the
ssints and the, angels who stand nearest
the great White Throne: and while he
framed his supplications, lie lifted up
his ewes toward the tabernacle, and
then let them fall on the angel on the
Gospel side Of the altar. when 10! the
