Compliments have freijuently been

Mr. Gladxtone. In old aire, said to a

as never betrayed my confidence,"

The German crown declared It was

Reailxlna that he never would ar

unless he took s decided step, he paid
a visit to the Count von Werdensteln
personally.
Thla time he crossed the ocean in

on Napoleon's shoulder and tenderly
and lovingly she whispered:

follow wherever you lead."
In the meantime the aerodromone
was rapidly nearing Clryne.

ahort time, her mind revolving ail the
details of her plan.
Santoa sat with hla hand on th

more particularly, the Idle army and

K,r.nlAnn listened travely to the
nniniona of thla brave and broad

He told the count that he wa anxious
to gain control of th property la

Th count wa somawhat taxes

asked the messenger to sit down. In

support of the unionist party to

resistance to home rule. His eagerly
awaited reply to Premier Asquitb'
offer of a compromise on October 25,
however, consisted merely oi a
ment that the unionists would consider
carefully any proposals the prime min
ister cared to make relative u m ablu
tion of the home rule problem, if a so
lution were possible.
Mr. Bonar Law expressed the opin
ion that the only logical way the gov
ernment eould avoid the responsibility
of plunging the country into civil war
was to secure a mandate from the peo
ple by a general election, and if it fa
vored home rule it would be acquiesced
in by the unionist.
