that. like many other politicians
because at heart he was one. though
ne had never given himself the
trouble to follow a political career
he had suffered disillusions which
had discouraged him, and brought
him to look upon events with per-
hsps less cynicism. but more regret.
than ne would have done in his
earlier days. without the warm
heart OF John Redmond he yet felt
as keenly as the latter the want OF
success which had attended their
Irish policy, and the many calum-
MES TO which the attitude of certain
members OF the Irish party had
given rise 10.
Just and honest himself. ne could
not conceive an luminosity which
seeks its success in lies and Islander.
He could not have slandered the
man who had done him the most
harm, and perhaps this is what
made him SO popular among all
parties. even among his enemies.
People could dislike O'Brien, they
could fear him. but they could al
ways trust him. This is perhaps the
best praise he deserves. and the one

he surpasses himself is in The deli
cate way In which he touches upon
certain points in the career OF his
heroes which do not appeal to him.
Such, for instance, is his apprecia-
the end Of ParnelTs political ca
reer. There is a world OF irony
lurking behind the mmple remark:
six months later he married Mrs.
O'Shea." which is far more cutting
than would have been pages OF dis
approval or criticisms.
A Faithful Friend.
O'Brien was a very faithful
friend. and when he could not praise
he generally remained silent when
ever one OF those 10 whom he had
given his heart or his trust did
something he regretted. I believe
that one of the things which hurt
him the most was the publication
by Mrs. Parnell OF her husband 5
life. which shattered some OF the
ideals Of those who still chung 10 the
memory of the Irish leader. and be-
lieved him TO have been a very bad
~ treated man. O'Brien did not,
perhaps. quite share this opinion.
because none appreciated better than
he did the real worth of the wom-
an for whom Parnell sacrificed
what appeared then 70 be a brilliant
future. but he would never have al
lowed any one TO guess his feelings
on the subject, or his regrets at the
mistake his friend had made. II
nearly broke his heart TO find that
il was this very woman who was TO

blow TO the memory of the husband
