Quoted over the whole castle" The
spirit OF time arose, and bowling
grayely, ushered me out of the room.
Passing out OF the room into another
large nall, we came into what seem
eu ike a cloister. In it were many
holy nuns passing through long
corridor on their way to the chapel.
One sweet and kind laced nun, ROUND
whom shone a celestial brightness,
looked strangely familiar and recog'
nlzed her as Frances Sansone< ana
then she passed on into the silent life
of prayer, fast and aims.
Even as he spoke the heavy cur
tain at the far end of the hall was
lifted. and in trooped number OF
men and women. All alike were
seemingly unaware OF my presence
III noticed especially man OF VlrHe
| and noble aspect with an air OF cour'
age and peace, a famous lawyer who
hears the name of Raymond Dickey:
4 One who never turned his back, but
marched breast forward.
! Never doubted clouds would break,
Never dreamed, though right were
worsted, wrong would triumph"
But who is this moving with state
ly step, leading by the hand a little
boy? Her pure proud face and dark
blue eyes can belong only to lofty
and noble mind. l turned to the
spirit of time. mabel Joyce" he
said, as if seeing my thoughts. Then
] heard the maiden teaching the
child to translate his Virgil" for
Mabel had become Latin teacher
Not far from me stood man OF
bold and yet chastened beauty, his
whole appearance indicated that he
had often battled with the storm OF
life, he was great orator and was
giving forth an Grafton that out
rivaled Demosthenes, and to my as
constituent it was no other than VIII
liam Reddy. Then sounds on my ears
the strains of martial music. Look
ing about me, l see a great band
the United States marine band, and
to my surprise l found that their
leader was Mackey Real, the cornet-
list of old.
Again spoke the ancient one, say
ing, as he fixed his glittering eye on
me, "You are now to see and hear
something different" and soon he
conducted me through a narrow pass
age into room representing the
United States senate. On the floor
was a senator from low, introducing
a bill into congress and who to my
establishment was Timothy Hickey.
The scene now changes and in an
other room I see Kathryn Hatton, a
full-fedged suffragette, and judge of
a municipal court, lecturing before
a. vast assemblage on 1.-THE Effects
of Woman Suffrage" for women now
had toe ballot.
The spirit of time then conducts
me up a flight of marble steps into
another portion of the castle where
he enters a room furnished N very
Anticipated style and there sits Wini-
fred Balbach, the belle Of the class
A parrot is in one corcr Of the
room and two cages of cararies are
hanging over her head. Poor Wini-
fred is hopeless old spinster, who
supports her declining years by writ
ing society notes for the paper, for
Winifred was always well versed in
the art of underwriting.
The scene faded and the ancient
one conducted me through beauti-
full garden, In which bloomed the
most exquisite flowers, until we
reached another portion of the great
castle, He pulls open the door and
we enter hospital ward, through
which many white-ca pped nurses are
walking. One in particular attracts
my attention, she is ministering to
poor sufferer. then she turns to walk
away. and I Immediately recognize her
as Mary Landman. My guide then
conducts me into another room.
which is an elegantly appointed office
room in which I see Mary Conn as
head stenographer. She is over
twenty-five others and is busy die
tating and giving directions The
ancient one then brings me before a
large window where look out on a
field and see regiment Of soldiers
drilling. Their general is Ralph
Brassil who had won fame in. the
great European war. and who has
