He wondered if it was a vogue stirring in his heart that made him do it, a vaguo stirring and craving for the old companion- ship of the quiet fields this night bitter- nessF Thoy were the fields, the sod, the territory, of his forefathers, the inheritance of his hood.

Martin Cosgrave spent three days in the fown waiting the rival of Rase Dempsey. The lont was late. He haunted the railway station and with lungry eyes scanned the parsengers as each train steamed in. His bloat was on fire in his veins for those three days. What peace could a man have who to have Rose Dempsey going bark with him, was waiting to get back to his building and

What thought had she of the wiping out of a name that would have lived in the nation and continued for all time in the elernities, a tangible thing in Heaven among the Lamortals when the stars had all been burned out in the sky"

The joy of the builder swept over him like a wave. He was within the rising walls again, his hands among the gray-blue shapes, the measured stroke of the mallet swinging for the shifting chisel, the throb of steel going through his arms, the grind of stone was under his hands the stone dat dry upon his lips, his eyes quick and keen, his arms bared, the shirt at his breast open and his whole body tense and tuned to the desire of the conscious builder. Once more he moved about the carpet of splinters, the grateful crunch beneath his feet, his little work a world of stubborn things, rejoicing in his power of direction and mastery over it all.
