order to call attention to the lack Of
progress IN the matter Of reinstating

the speaker alleged, to the landlords

consequently unable to provide farms

Mr. Redmond said 1t was obvious
that the government must resort to
some system Of compulsion. The pa

party desired to give opportunity for
the greatest degree Of fair play pend

For Ireland Brych ought to grapple
with the matter vigorously.
Replying to Mr.. Redmond, Mr. Bryce,
after some debate said the govern

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Picture in the Sky.

If something of the peace of the
night silence came to him as he rode,
he counted it only the peace of sur
render and despair. He knew now
that he had been cheated of all his
great long-nursed hopes of some sCpe-
rior exaltation. Nor this only; for he
had sinned unforgivably and incurred
perdition. He who had tasted, prayed,
and endured, waiting for his Witness,
for the spreading of the heavens and
the glory of the open vision, had over
reached himself and was cast down.
When at last he slowed his horse to
a walk, 1t was the spring Of the day.
The moon had gone, and over on his
left a soft grayness began to show
above the line of the hills. The light
grew until it glowed with the fire of
opals; through the treetops ran little

had no thought Of sleep for himself.
He was too intensely awake with ap-
p%rehension. On the floor beside his
chair was a little bundle the woman
had brought him,-the bundle he had
found loosened by her side, that day,
with the trinkets scattered about and
the limp-backed little Bible lying open
where it had fallen.
He picked the bundle up and united
it, touching the contents timidly. He
took up the Bible last. and as he did
so a memory flooded back upon him
that sickened him and left him trem-
bling. 1t was the book he had given
her on her seventeenth birthday, the
n she had told him she was keeping
when they parted that morning at
Nauvoo. He knew the truth before
he opened it at the yellowed fly-leaf
and read in faded ink. From Joel to

runs almost from Bear creek on the
north to the Colorado on the south,
With a width of 20 miles or so. But

the valley of lost illusions. Some saw
ing grace of faith was gone from the
people. He passed through sturdy lit
Tie settlements, powered in gardens
and orchards, and girded about by
now fertile acres where once had been
Inc bare, gray desert. Slowly, mile
by mile, the Saints had pushed down
the valley, battling with the Indians
and the elements for every acre of
land they gained. Yet it seemed to
MIN now that they had achieved but
a mere Goddess prosperity. They had
worked a miracle of abundance il the
desert-but of what avail? For the
soul of their faith was gone. He felt
or heard the proof of it on every hand.
Through Battle Creek, Provo, and
Sprlngville he went; through Spanish
Fork, Payson, Salt Creek, and Fill
more. He stopped to preach at each
place, but he did it perfunctorily, and
with shame for himself in his secret
heart. Some impalpable essence Of
spirituality was gone from himself and
from the people. He felt himself wick

once he would have done, that they
had been punished for lack of faith.
