His voice was scarcely audible. Mr..

day had snapped his self control at
last. The doodgates were opened. He
sobbed and sobbed like some tired,
hurt child. Angela tried to comfort
him. In moment she was crying too.
He took her hand and kissed it repeat
cdly, the tears falling on it as he did so.
God bless ye! God bless yew he
cried.
In that moment of self revelation
their hearts went out to each other
Neither had known happiness nor love
nor faith in mankind.
In that one enlightening moment of
emotion their hearts were laid bare to
each other. The great comedy of life
between man and woman had begun.
Three days afterward O'Connell was
able to dress and move about his room.
He was weak from loss of blood and
the confinement that an active man re-
sents. But his brain was clear and
vivid. They had been three wonderful
days.
Angela had made them the most
amazing in his life. The memory Of
those hours spent with her be would
carry to his grave.
She read to him and talked to him
and lectured him and comforted him.
And in little while he must leave it
all. He must stand his trial under the
'crimes act for speaking at pro
claimed" meeting.
Well, whatever his torture. he knew
he would come out better equipped for
the struggle. He had learned some
thing of himself he had 50 far never
dreamed of in his bitter struggle with
the handicap of his life. He had
something to live for now besides the
call Of bis Countrywide call of the
heart-the cry of beauty and truth and
| reverence.
Angela inspired him with oil these.
In the three days she ministered to
him she had opened up a vista he had
hitherto never known. And now he
had to leave it and face his accusers
and be hectored and jeered at in the
mockery they called trials From
the courthouse be would go to the pris-
on, and thence he would be sent back
into the world with the brand of
the prison cell upon him.
And back Of it all the yearning that
at the end she would be waiting and
watching for his return to the conflict
for the great ''cause" to which he had
dedicated his life.
On the morning of the third day Mr..
Roche. the resident magistrate. was
sent for by Nathaniel Kingsnorth. Mr..
Roche found him firm and determined,
his back to the fireplace, in which q
bright fire was burning, although the
month was July.
"1've sent for you to remove this
man O'Connell,'' added Nathaniel aft.
er a pause.
"Certainly-if he is we'll enough to
be moved"
'The doctor. I understand, says that
he is"
Every we'll. I'll drive him down to
the courthouse. The court is sitting
now" said Roche, rising.

) The boys and girls of the Lakeland
high school added three new scalps
to their string Saturday afternoon,
when Ruskin College and Plant City

Owing to slight misunderstood
ing about the schedule, the Plant
City and Ruskin College boys both
piled into the city on the 1925 train
from Tampa, each demanding a
same with the Lakeland boys.
The girls from Ruskin accom-
panied their partners from the col
lege, as a game had been arranged
between them and the l.. II. s.
girls. This made 1t necessary to
play three games, as everybody
wanted to play basketball.
Not at all daunted by the pros
poets Of facing two strong teams one
after the other, the Lakeland boys
agreed to take on Plant City first
and Ruskin College afterward. So
at o'clock the first game between
Plant City and Lakeland was called.
This was followed by a game be-
tween the girs from Ruskin and the
Lakeland girls, after which the
Lakeland boys took on their second
opponents OF the afternoon.
The first game was lightning fast,
but a little too one-sided to be very
interesting.
The L. H. s. boys smothered
their opponents and when the whis
tie blew at the end of the final half
the score stood 81 to in favor OF
Lakeland.
The girls game was even more
one sided, the final score being 23
to in favor OF Lakeland.
The visitors were unable to cage
the ball while Lakeland's forwards
found little trouble in piling up q
