That is the message that Mrs Pank-

Sentry Duty in the Rain.
outside the gates Of Holloway prison.
where Mrs. Pankhurst is still in
generated. can be seen just now one
Of the most curious spectacles OF this
OF any other time. This is the sentry
duty so jealousy imposed on them
selves by the sUffrag ettes. Never was
duty undertaken more solemnly and
earnestly. Yesterday afternoon rain
came down pitilessly. never ceasing
and in the downpour two suffragettes,
unkempt and forlCrn. marched up and
down hour after hour. No sign of any
human emotion appeared on their
wooden faces. Their unbecoming hats
were dripping with rain, and the
"squelch. squeich." as they walked M
and down like restless bears in a cage
was almost dirgelike.
BY the orders Of the police they we're
compelled 10 keep 10 the gutter so az
not 10 obstruct the footpath. Motor
omnibuses rushed past and splashed
them with mud. little BOYS shouted
facetious remarks. but not once did
the two scntries show sign Of in
telligence or life Until yesterday the
sentries carried flags. shouldering them
as a soldier does his rifle. but they
were snatched away so often by people
in the crowd that the police forbade
them TO be used any longer Shorn az
they are. however. Of their inspiring
banners the suffragettes continue their
grave duty undauntedly.
Annie Bel. a suifragette sentinel
who was arrested outside Holloway
Jail, on Wednesday night, told the
magistrate when she was arraigned at
| the police court to-day.
IF any man had interfered with me
| would have shot him
Miss Bell said that she carried q
revolver only for self protection. but
with the full intention Of using il il
personal violence were offered to her,
She was remanded on bail on giv.ng
an undertaking to refrain from mill
Stancy.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst is safd 10
be showing the effects of her seven
days hunger strike but it is again
stated that no attempt has been made
by the prison authorities 10 feed her
forcibly. There is a possibility of her
being released to-day. too late. that is
10 enable her To fulfil her promise 20
