other moments when I felt quite
sure that, in marrying Lord Raa, l
should be doing self sacrificing
thing and kind of solemn duty.
One such moment was when Mr.
Curphy, my fathers advocate, who
with his clammy hands always made
me think of an over-fatted fish, came
to tell him that, after serious legal
difficulties, the civil documents had
been agreed to, for, after he had fin
ished with my father, he drew me
aside and said, as he smoothed his
long brown beard
you ought to be a happy girl,
Mary. I suppose you know what you
are doing for your father? You are
wlping out the greatest disappoint-
ment of his life, and rectifying the
cruelty-the inevitable cruelty - OF
the law, when you were born a daugh-
ter after he had expected son."
Settlement Signed.
Another such moment was when
the Bishop came, in his grand car
riage, to say that after much dis
cussion he had persuaded his lord
ship to sign the necessary declara-
ton that all the children of our union,
irrespective of sex, should be brought
up as Catholics, for taking me aside,
as the advocate had done the day
before, he said, in his suave voice,
lingering his jewelled cross:
II congratulate you, my child. Yours
is a great and precious privilege
the privilege Of bringing back to the
Church family which has been es-
tranged from 1t for nineteen years"
At the end of a fortnight we
signed the marriage settlement. The
little ceremony took place in the
drawing room OF my fathers house.
My intended husband. who had not
been to see me in the meantime,
brought with him (as we'll as his
trustee and lawyer a lady and a gem

Redmond Wants Speedy Action.

London, July 2S.-John Redmond,
Nationalist leader in the house of COM
mons, demanded an immediate inquiry
into all of the facts of Sundays affair
in addition to full judicial and mill
tary inquiry into the action of tha
troops and the punishment of those
guilty of the killings.
He also requested the removal of
the Scottish Borderers from Dublin
and the revocation of the proclamation
against importation OF arms. He SAID
that so long as the latter remained in
force it would be constant source Of
risk and danger.
Mr.. Redmond demanded in addition
TO the suspension of Assistant Com
missioner Russell the suspension of
Chief Commissioner Sir John Ross. OF
the latter he said:
He proved himself in the recent
labor riots to be thoroughly in
competent. He is a wen known
political partisan and is totally unfit
for his post
Mr.. Redmond insisted that so long
as the Ulster volunteers were allowed
to arm, drill and marA with arms
through the street the same freedom
must be given the Nationalist volun-
teers. He concluded by saying:
Let the house clearly understand
that four-fifths of the Irishmen viii

Ulster men are allowed to go scot

This declaration was greeted with
prolonged Nationalist cheers in which
many Liberals joined.

said he did not blame the Nationalists
volunteers for their action. The Ulster
volunteers would have done the same
thing The government, he declared
things to be done.
Premier Asquith made warm re
tort to Mr.. Law and blamed the OPP
position for talking about violation OF
the law. Il warn those who are look
ing forward with such ardent anticipa
ton to succeeding that they will find

sible task" he said.
The premier promised that the full
est inquiry would be made into the
affair but warmly defended the sol
diers who, he said had not exceeded
their duty. He believed that the
troops would emerge from the inquiry
with credit to themselves and to the
army.
MIR. Asquith contended that the gov
eminent had acted impartially in
granting importations of arms.
