THE MADNESS OF MERCY

NEWDIGATE.

BY MAJOR MARTIN A. S. HUME.

ERCY NEWDIGATE! The name that once was mine

M sounds strangely familiar to me still, though many long

years have passed since I bore it.

As I draw nearer to the grave under the cypress in the convent garden below my cell-window, all my later life for the last thirty years here in tawny Spain grows dim and shadowy, whilst ever clearer. before me rise the thoughts and memories of my old home in leafy England, the ruddy English faces, the soft English voices, and the kindly English speech, which I have never forgotten through all my trouble. And when I die, as I soon must, I would fain that my poor storm-tossed soul might first speed back to my own kin whom I have so bitterly wronged, and seek for God's pardon amidst the gentle scenes my earthly eyes may look upon no more.

For I am an old and broken woman who has suffered much and sinned sorely, though my great transgression must have been madness, for my crime was too black for any creature unpossessed by a devil to have committed.

But I know that there can be no pardon for me on earth, because my sin has been exalted into a virtue, and devout people come from far and near to gaze upon me as a saint, whilst I, vain coward and hypocrite that I am, when the faithful crave my blessing and kiss the hem of my garment, sit with sanctimonious face, whilst revolt rages
