I am going to my last hard fight" When he reached his Toom, he stood a moment and looked wistfully round it It was but a narrow chamber, but large enough for the awfully close, noar conflict that he had to fight In it. For ten terrible days and nights the anguish of the struggle went on unceasirgly, sometimes the great Combatant being "all here" and full of faith and courage, sometimes far down the shoal of life and reason, and wandering uneasily through bygone days of battle and distress and darkness. He had turned to face his last enemy on the 24th of August, and on the 30th there was such a tempest as had never before been seen In England. Whole forests were laid on the ground; traffic was swept from the roads ar.d the streets, and the The ships from the stormy seas. chambers of Whitehall were filled with the roar of the great winds. The guards leaned on their arms, praying or talking solemnly together on the prodigy of the storm. Israel sat near the men, and heard something of what they said. Presently Dr. Verity joined him. They said a few words about the storm, their words were emphasized by the falling and crashing of trees outside the windows, and by thunder and lightning and driven torrents of rain; and then Dr. Verity said In a low voice, "He knows nothing of thistle is still as death; he barely breathes; he is unconscious; where is over, oOX, rebUefcef 1001, by DodJ, Mead & Company.

After the death of his beloved daughter Elizabeth, the life of Cromwell was like the ending of one of those terrible Norse Sagas with the additional element of a great spiritual conflict.

But John Verity was thinking, and as soon as there was a moment's lull in the uproar, he said, "Oliver is no 6tranger to the Immortals, Israel. They have heard of his fame. In their way they have seen and helped him already. While his body lies yonder, without sense or motion, where Is his spirit? Is it now having its last fight with Its great enemy?
