It was now about nine o'clock in
the evening and beginning to get
dark. Hampton was thankful for the
company Of the other, and having
nothing but his own light suit case
to carry, attempted to relieve his
guide Of some of his load.

bly, ever will be a matter of dispute
to Spanish legists, set aside Don
Carlos, who would otherwise have
been indisputably heir apparent. Don
Carlos after protesting in words for
several years against his deprivation
began in 1884 to protest in arms.
A terrible civil war followed, which
ended only in 1910 with the defeat Of
the Carlists. Spain was long time
in recovering from the effects of the
struggle. Under Don Carlos H., son
and successor of Don Carlos l., war
broke out again in 1873 and was not

The revision of the Concordat,
which regulates the relations between
church and state, is at the bottom of
the difficulty. Arrayed on one side
is the government, supported by the
king, and on the other are the Catho-
lie church and the vast power and
wealth of the religious orders.
The Concordat dates back to 1851
and does not fit existing conditions.
The present premier, Senor Canalejas,
has undertaken to revise it and at the
very outset drew upon himself the
antagonism of the church. BY the
provisions of this instrument the
church is subject to certain restric-
tions, which really have never been
enforced One Of these limits the
number of religious orders in the
kingdom to fewer than 100. Owing,
however, to the non-enforcement OF
the law, there are nearly 1000 orders
in Spain, many of them owning prop
erty and enjoying exemption from
taxation and possessing also other
special privileges. In opening up the
question of the revision of the Con-
cordat, Senior Canalejas announced his
intention of enforcing the provisions
of the law of 1851 relative to the
religious orders. The church, of
course, interposed it's objection and
made its intention plain that the re.
vision it wanted was such as would

when the child got to school the next

'In school the little ones were
taught to look on themselves not as
Irish children, but as English. They
were not taught any Irish history, and
the fires of patriotism in them were

But of late years there has come

hungry or not, and if there was any
