A wild cheer greeted his words.
Then came lull suddenly, as though
the men were seeking outlet for their
emotions. And Cesnola was there to
give it to them.
He held out his hand All eyes
were fastened on him. The first word
had fallen from his mouth when the
voice OF woman, raised in thrilling
cadence. wiped additional utterance
from the spy's lips.
AS Holton looked the girl sprang
to the speakers side and held out
her hand. And as she stood thus. the
naval officer never forgot the picture.
My countrymen," she cried at
length, II have listened to all who
have spoken, and have observed you.
l have wondered whether the fever
has got into your brains. and whether
you are children led hither and thither
by the idle words of plotters."
Cesnola sprang in front OF her and
pushed her roughly aside.

Her voice was quiet. almost unemo-

equally plain that the spell Of the

serpent coils. She paused.

Undoubtedly one OF the most salu-
tary discoveries Of modern medical

as possible. The fresh air treatment

keep out in the open air is in our time
the first law of health
Now. very impressive is IL to note
that what Is true as regards the body
is no less true as regards the soul In
the spiritual life as we'll as the physi.
cal. we are learning the value of fresh
air. No longer do we drive the tempt.
ed soul into the ways Of solitude or
separate the sinner from contact with
his fellows.
Active Life Beneficial.
No longer do we regard the monas.
terry as the refuge OF virtue or the
dark silence OF the hermit cell as the
cure OF spiritual corruption. We
know today that retirement is danger
Gus and active life in the outer world
always beneficial. II a man be over
weighted with cares or beset with
temptations or stricken with some
loathsome moral cancer let him flee
from the lonely chamber where he
knows only dull brooding and sterile
remorse and desert the towering al
tars where he makes confession and
does pennance. Let him take his anX-
iety or sin into the open air. Let him
go down to the sea, and look unto the
hills. Let him heed the skylark, and
dance with the daffodils. Let him seek
the company of the sun, and bow to
the benediction of the stars. Let him

his cares will fall from him like a
ragged garment and his sin vanish
away as a little thing. The air will
make him pure. The sun will give him
light. The shining armament will lift
him to it's own expanse of beauty. In
the words of Mrs. Browning:
The little cares that fretted me
lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play
Among the husking OF the corn
Where drowsy peoples nod.
Where i'll thoughts die and good are born,

WHITLEY HERO

Is not generally known from the fact
that Mr.. Whitley is modest as to his
achievements and has considered the
incident as not worth talking about.
The happening was recalled by some
friends of his at McGill who were
familiar with the details Of what
had taken place, and as a result
someone went to the pains of secur-
