With Home Rule Ireland
Will Become Strength
Instead of Weakness
/ to British Empire
Bg. JOHN REDMOND. Irish Nationalist Leader
1' ' HE ! ■ >ci .ey of Groat Britain has kept fnitli with Ireland, and it
i» i: '• a duty and'honor for Ireland to keep faith with it.
THE IRISH PEOPLE KNOW AND APPRECIATE THE FACT FULLY
That at last, after centuries of misunderstanding, the
DEMOCRACY CF GREAT BRITAIN HAS FINALLY AND IRREVOCABLY
DECIDED TO TRUST THEM AND GIVE THEM BACK THEIR NATIONAL
LIBERTIES,. BY OVERWHELMING BRITISH MAJORITIES A CHARTER
OF LIBERTY FOR IRELAND HAS THREE TIMES BEEN PASSED BY THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS ANn HAS NOW BECOME THE LAW OF THE
LAND. A NEW ERA HAS OPENED IN THE HISTORY OF THE TWO
NATIONS. -
IV:ring tin? long discussion on the Irish problem in parliament we
promi-vd the firitish people that a concession of liberty would have
the fame effect in Ireland as in every other part of the empire, that
dis>:iti-i lotion would cive way to friendship and good will and that
IRELAND WOULD BECOME A STRENGTH INSTEAD OF A
WEAKNESS TO THE EMPIRE. 1

"Don't you dare call me darllngf
"Got It again right between the eyes.
Do you know. Km, that I believe that
our engagement, having taken place In
a thunderstorm, .will be brimful of sul
phur."
"Will you be good enough to explain
to me what you mean by our engage
ment?"
"Well, I like that! 1 propose to a
young lady The proposition, I admit.
In made under tempestuous circum
stances. Nevertheless she nestles"—
"That wus from fright."
"Nestling is pretty nife nnjway"
"Will you go on?"
"Vergil tells us that Dido and Aeneas
became engaged during a thunder
storm."
"I am not interested In Dido and
Aeneas."
This was said so snappishly that It
sent Dick back within himself again.
He took refuge In silence.
"If you bave nothing more to say to
me." Emily dually broke the silence,
"1 see no reason for our remaining to
gether any longer. I have thing3
to do."
"You wouldn't leave me, would you,
Just after our becoming engaged?
That would be like a groom spending
the honeymoon in North America and
the bride in China."
She rose and was sweeping out of the
room when he called to her:
"What do you wish me to do?"
"I wlsb you to"— she balked.
"Say It all over again?"
"If you bad a spark of sentiment you
would know what to do."
"Well, while you were sitting close to
me—frightened at the storm, you know
—and I had my arm around your
walst"
"1 don't remember that at all."
"Certainly not. You were too fright
ened to remember It When my arm
was around your waist and my ear
close agalnsi your lips—1 mean m^ lips
wore"—
"Never mind all that. Go on."
"I said: "Don't be frightened, dear.
Remember that you are In the arms of
one who' "—
Another belated clap broke In to spoil
again a tender scene. He bad placed
bis arm about her waist and held her
hand She closed her lingers about his,
aj if fearing he would get away.
"I thought the storm was over," be
remarked.
"1 think It Is. That was merely an
after clap Go on "
"I'm afraid If I do and another storm
Pomes on I'll have to do It again.
That'll make three times Von might
Bay It between two bolts."
A dazzling flash, with simultaneous
thunder. He held her tightly in his
arms a.nd crlcd above the reverbera
dons:
"Kmmy, dearest. 1 love you. Will
you marry me?"
Her reply was toned to rise above
the thunder, which ceased suddenly:
"Yes!"
"1 heard you," he said, laughing, and.
notwithstanding the solemnity of the
occasion, she laughed too.
