Me"-seemed ringing in her ears, and
awakened new warm throbbing in
her heart.
She hastily gained the town and
found her way to the nearest chemists,
where the child was soon revived.
Then, having sent a description Of her
to the police, Mrs. Catherwood carried
the child away to her home. where she
found her impatient sutton awaiting
her.
''At 1astr' he exclaimed. Then catch

flush upon her cheeks.

She saw the wave of annoyance that
overspread his face.

mediately word was brought back to
her that the old doctor had gone away
to spend Christmas, and that DIR. Har-
mon was to fill his place in case of
need. But as DIR. Harmon lived quite
at the other end of the town, the mes
senger had returned to know if she
wished him summoned that night.
One look at the suffering child and
Mrs Catherwood's sharp struggle with
herself was ended with the quick an
swer: Yes; ask him to come at once"
And now at midnight she was anx-
iously awaiting the arrival of the man
she most dreaded and dislilzed.
The young physician who stood SO
high in his profession, was the one
who had been too honest and sincere
ever to flatter her. He had resOlutely
kept aloof from her. even though she
had once stopped so far as to try to
win attention from him.
But she had never forgotten the
quiet scorn of the condemnation he
had once uttered in her hearing of the
frivolous lives of socieES women and
! their i1l-cons:Slered charities which so
often did more harm than good.
She had chosen to give personal
application to his words, and to ignore
to meet; but nevertheless his words
! had ranked in her, and had sown the
seeds of discontentat her own unsatis-
| flying life.
At last he was at her side. His quick
| glance had instantly taken in all the
details of the room; the suffering child,

still unfolded on chair, the tiny half

; it was not hard for his practised eye
to read the sweet and pathetic story
that they told.
| Together they bent above the little
sufferer. and together they worked
over her, fighting for her life. It was
sharp hand-to-hand struggle with
death that night, but in the gray dawn

won, the child's labored breathing be-

SEATTLE, Jan. 9, 1894.
To THE EDiroR: / see that the Pacific,
printed in San Francisco, copies an article
from the Blue and Gray for December en-
titled "fhe Remedy for Lynch Law" The
writer of the article speaks particularly of
the delay in hanging. the question of par
don, the inability of many people to real
iZe the depth of sin, the casting Of bou-
quets. the necessity of immediate execu-
ton and even goes so far as to say that
capital punishment should be meted out
for many other crimes as well ~ murder.
This apparent advocate of the wholesale
slaughter of human souls does not stop TO
think of the necessity ofttimes of the delay
in execution, nor OF the possibility of true
repentance. He speaks Of the worthless
ness of such souls and the expense TO the
state as though such souls were not worth
saving and as though the money spent by
the state was worth more than the souls.
He evidently looks upon Jail or a state
prison as place where human vengeance
is satisfied rather than as q place for the
correction of evil.
When jails and state prisons are made
places for the salvation instead of the de-
struction of souls, we shall have found the
true Remedy for Lynch Law"
If the writer for the Biue and GRAY be-
iieves that in this life only there is hope of
repentance, and infer he does, why does
he wish TO shorten the existence of souls
here and possibly deprive them of oppor-
tunity to repent7 He virtually takes souls
out OF Gods hands and into his own for
the sole purpose of exercising human
vengeance upon them. an act which God
Himself condemns.
All, pity rather than curse, love rather
than hate a sinful soul, for where sin and
misery are, there is love most needed.
It's love that conquers sin, not human
vengeance.
Remember, these souls are still God
children. and though wicked and disobed-
ent. He loves them still and wants them
saved.
Remember. the motive for branding Cain
was not that they who found him might
slay him, but that they might not slay
him, for by so doing they became worse
than Cain.
strive 10 get hell out of men. not men
into hell; strive TO get heaven into men,
not men into heaven, for this is God 5
work-they will go there from the gallows
according TO His own doctrine if they have
truly repented, and Code time is best.

orous supporter of Archbishop Ireland

was as widely known as any Catholic
priest in the country. He was brother
of Archbishop Corrigan. of New York, but,
unlike him, was jealous friend of Ameri-
