WITH IRON WILL.

to assure her that it was "the weather." her
cooking had nothing to do with it She ap-
peared pacified and I now took the oppor-
tunity of putting question which had been
on the top of my tongue all dinner time.
"Who Eves''-and tried to speak with
as much Indifference as possible-"who
lives in that fine park with q white house
on the slope? That little river down stream
whatever it's called-runs through the
property. Anyone of Importance"
"Why, that's Wakering Hall Colonel
Hetnersett lives there"
allowed an exclamation of surprise to
escape me, of which 1 soon repented. Not
that wished to hide from the landlady, for
any deep reason, that the name Of Hether-
sett was familiar to me. But 1 quickly re-
allied that had lossened her tongue I

my cigarette made an escape into the
open air and turned my steps in the direc-
tion OF Wakering Hall.
Some ten years ago, while was still
student at St. Bartholomew, London, q
serious affair had come under my notice. A
man was brought into the hospital late one
night, seriously injured. He had been
found in one of the by-streets in the neigh
borhood of Smithfeld in an unconscious
state. 1t was apparently case of attempted
murder, though what the would-be assassin's q
actual motive had been for the attack
whether revenge or robbery-was never
clearly ascertained No robbery had been
committed, and when my patient recovered,
after some weeks of suffering, he threw no
light on the matter. was In constant at
tendance upon him, and it was my unex-
pressed belief that he could have partially
solved the mystery if he so disposed. But
he volunteered no explanation. The busi-
ness was, SO he declared, in his lawyers
hands; and it did not appear to be anyone
else's right to interfere. And vet I was
deeply interested, not only in the case, but
in the striking appearance of my patient
and many remarkable traits in his charac-
ter. A word, often Q mere look from him,
would instantly obtain obedience. He never
showed a sign of ill temper; and yet he
made one feel that he was naturally pas
sionate, and that to provoke him would be
a dangerous experiment. His very voice
expressed his indomitable will. His name
was Hethersett, Is now distinctly refnem-

fierce fire lights up his face. I have fol-
lowed him while talking; but the intense
heat forces me to step some PAGES back. He
is in his shirt-sleeves, which he rolled up
almost to his shoulders He is certainly q
remarkably, powerful-looking fellow, with
the arms of q stalwart blacksmith His
beard is thick and intensely red; and his
small eyes have fierce expression-which
he may have caught from the fre-glitter-
ing under red, bushy eyebrows; and as he
presently lifts his cap aside to wipe the
perspiration from his brow with the back of
his hand, notice an ugly scar across his
forehead.
He appears disinclined for further talk,
SO bid him goodnight" and go on my
way.
When I reach Wakering Hall q few
minutes later am shown into q luxurious
smoking divan. The room is lit with lamps,
the green shades being of some semi-trans-
parent texture which gives to every object
a subdued appearance The walls are
thickly ornamented with spears and guns
and dozen other warlike implements. 1

''Sherwin!" he exclaims, seizing my hand.
"Why, you're the surgeon who saved nv

He is man of about go, not strikingly
tall, but with an appearance of unusual
breadth and strength. Ten years appear to
have wrought little change in him, certainly
no change for the worse. It is the same
handsome face, the same firm and fearless
expression that now recall to mind as II it
were only yesterday. He waves me toward
an armchair near the window, brings me
cigarettes, remembers my favorite iced
drink and in a word makes me as welcome
as if were his own son.
He has been walking about the room,
principally occupied in looking after my
comforts, talking the while about matters
of little or at least no special importance.
At last he lights a cigar and sinks down
upon tiger skin on an ottoman facing me.
He now, tor the first time, speaks OF him

chutes at La Sale, two masked men entered
one of the cars and with loaded revolvers
ordered the passengers to hold up their

Hands in profusion went up instantly,
and the fellows were on the point OF col

when one of the latter opened fire from his
gun on the hold-ups. The latter returned
the fire, but one OF them getting hit. they
both jumped from the car and fled. Ths

1t is the imperative duty of every citi-
zen, as he values the property which he
possesses and the home that he loves, to
see that his name is on the list of voters
for next year.
Every citizen has the right to vote.
1t is the fundamental right of our free
government. The man who does not
care to exercise that right does not de-
serve the blessings of freedom. Register
and prove your patriotism.
Only three more days remain in which
to make up the deficiency in the regis
tration this year as compared with last.
1t is strange fact that presidential
year is always signalized by heavy regis
tration. Why should it be so? Why
should voters take greater interest in a
national than in State election? Why
take more interest in a State election
than in a ward election?
The man who votes for president is
one of twelve million voters. The man
who votes for mayor of the city is one
in sixteen thousand. In which case is
the voter more likely to be benefited
by his vote? Register now or you will
not be one Of the sixteen thousand
voters in the next municipal election.
The General Assembly to be elected
next spring will have the question Of
improved roads to consider. This is a
vital question to every taxpayer whether
his tax be poll tax or property tax. 1t
means the outlay of large sum of
money. Those who do not register will
have no right to say who shall represent
them in this ali important question.
There is no danger that threatens Re-
publican institutions so long as the
people will exercise their privileges of
franchise. The danger lies in the neg
ligence of the voters. 1t is fact that
the ignorant and penniless will always
register. 1t is the intelligent and
thrifty citizen who is derelict in his
duty. To which class do you belong?
If to the latter, have you registered?
The man who has not registered and
who fails TO do so during the next three
days will have three hundred and sixty
five days in which to repent of his neg
lgence. If he does not register he will
have TO one to blame except himself.
Having no one to blame but himself he
will Lave no right to criticise the
actions of the public officials and no
right to ask favors OF them. He be-
comes a nonentity in the political world.
Register and be somebody.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

We have for three centuries been ac-
customed to look upon Professionalism
as the representative Of the progressive
and liberal school in religion and the
Catholic Church as the pillar of dog
matte teaching. But the events Of the
past few months must have set thought
full people to considering whether the
order of things have not been reversed,
and whether there is not stronger
tendency toward iconoclasm in the
American branch of the Roman Church
than In the American descendants Of the
Protestant Church.
II is certainly observable that the
American Catholic church under the
splendid leadership of Cardinal Gibbons
has taken on the progressive and liberal
ideas of American institutions and has
adapted itself TO its present surround
ings with marvellous ease. Instances
are within the present experience of all,
but tia present attitude of Rome toward
our public schools and the conciliatory
mission of Mgr. Satoh are the most per-
tinent illustrations at present. IL was
not long ago that Catholic children
must De educated at parochial schools
or not at all. Circumstances have
changed all this.
To-day the Catholic children are first
of all to be educated. At parochial
schools if available, otherwise at public
schools. The dogma of parochial school
or nothing has yielded to the liberal
idea of free public schools.
Mgr. Satoli has worked toward the
same end. In ev'ry controversy brought
before him, where the question has been
upon he adherence to the strict teach
ing of the fathers, and the adoption of
the more liberal American ideas, the
latter have prevailed. The church finds
itself surrounded by new conditions.
The old ideas of Rome are not adapted
to the needs of the American church.
The doctrine of Rome runs counter to
the customs Of the people, and it is the
former, not the after. that a,e set
aside in the decision The church los-s
nothing in the controversy IL strength
ems its position and grows in conse-
quence.
In sharp contrast to such evidence is
the evidence Of schisims and heresy
trials that have recently centered in the
Congregational church ut Ahdover and
the Presbyterian councils at New York
and Cincinnati. II may be true that
the teachings and beliefs of DIR Harris,
DIR. Briggs and DIR. Smith do not agree
with the time honored and generally &C.
cepted doctrine Of the church as taught
by Calvin. But il does not follow that
the teaching OF the Hugenots $50 years

GIVE US GOOD ROADS.

There is no doubt of either the expe
diency or necessity of better roads in the
state. The saving of time in which the
farmer can bring his products to market
over good roads is money in the farmers
pocket. The better the roads are the
less the energy required of the horses
to draw the load. The saving of the
energy of the horses is money in the
farmers pocket. The more accessible
farms are made by good roads the more
valuable the farm lands are. The more
valuable the farm lands are the more
money there is in the farmers pocket.
The vital question is how to pay for the
roads, but this question lost much of its
force when means of state revenue were
suggested by ex-Gov. Ladd. Other
states tax railroads. We tax our horse
railroads. Why should not the state
tax steam railroads?

vital questions. 1t proved more than
that however. 1t proved that the
Roman Catholic can be and in most
cases is an American citizen before he
is Catholic; that the duties Of citizen
ship do not in the least conflict with
his religion and that in accepting citizen
ship here he recognizes the principle
that church and state in this country
are absolutely and unchangeably sepa-
rated. DR.. McGlynn might now lay
down his work confident that he more
than any other one man has made this
truth plain, confident also that in doing
SO he has conferred boon, not only
upon his church but also upon its men,
bers, greater than either of them know.
His work is well done. His vindication
is complete and his parishioners did
well, not only to tender an ovation to
the man, but in doing so to recognize
his successful maintenance Of the great
principle which was at stake.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-12-28

The wearing of the American flag by
those who rendered DIR. McGlynn such
hearty reception recently is a fact at
once patriotic and significant. We may
not agree with DIR. McGlynn's economic
ideas, but all Of us can applaud his
sturdy Americanism; that principle of
free speech; that right of individual
liberty in things secular and his concep-
tion of the truth that the duty of citi-
zenship necessitates personal activity.
All of these principles are inherent in
Republican institutions and they should
be the deep concern Of every American
citizen. DIR McGlyGn believed in them.
He believed in them SO strongly that
while yielding TO his church in all
things religious he preferred excommu-
nication rather than 20 be compelled 90

ago should be the Interchangeable stand
ard in all of its details for the men of
the present. The light of civilization
burned but dimly for the sage of Geneva
when compared with the light of mod
ern learning.
II is the cornerstone of Professionalism
that it allows free play TO the individual
reason. Its essense and strength lies In
the fact that nC one man shall have the
absolute authority tn think for another.
The individual judgment and conscience
are the final arbiters in each individ-
ual's acts and professions. While Of
course in expelling such ministers as
DIR. Briggs, DIR. Harris and DIR. Smith
the protestant churches have the right
to say that the concensus Of opinion
among their ministers is contrary
to that of these gentlemen, and
thai therefore the latter cannot
authoritatiyely preach and teach
within the church, yet even that dec
laration is a statement of dogmatic
conservatism and a confession Of weak
ness. The protestant church is founded
on the free play of reason, and when
ever the time comes that that free
play of reason is not to be allowed with
in the pale of any sect, that sect
virtually confesses that the logic of its
position is not impregnable. 1t con-
fesses that it fears the attacks Of the
logic of its own liberal members. 1t is
not willing that its principles should
be fully and purely discussed before its
congregations and that the congrega-
tons should be allowed to decide
whether or not the old or the
new teaching is that which appeals
to them as the better. Ii sets reason
and faith upon its banners and yet it is
not ready to set before its individual
members all of the newer doctrines for
fear that their reason may acoepY them.
Such action has all the seeming ele-
ments of conversation; it savors If me-
deival dogmatism; it is not character
istic of American institutions; 1t is re-
Progressive rather than progressive. 1t
does not compare favorably with the
evidence of liberalism in the catholic
church.
