Father O'Connor afforded the way
farer and his troubled heart all the pm
yileRes he would have given to his friend
Chin1auy. He fed and housed him and
lent him money. Incidentally, he prom
ised to aid him getting. q much-ooveted
mission to South America. Cantwell
preached a sermon at u Oonnor's mission
against Catholicism. One day he LETT
the following letter open on the break
fast table:
shall be- at home and at liberty to see
you this evening or tomorrow M rnlne.
1' MA. CoRRIGAN.
&You have written to the Archbishop
for an interview and this is the answer,
said O'Connor. r
archbishop Fabre has written TO
Archbishop Corrigan that l am here, ana
if such high dignitary wants to see me
I consider it my duty to grant him the
privilege. I may show him the road, the
light and life."
So he went. He asserted that the
Archbishop forced q letter upon him.
Here is the letter:
This will be handed to you by the Rev.
N. G. Cantwell, who wishes to make re-
treat. His case will call forth all your
sympathy and pious zeal. l am, rever'
end dear father, very faithfully yours,
M. A. CoRR1GAN.

Rev. 81. Denny, s. j., No. 20 West Six

1t is 1eedless to say that the Arch
bishop did not force this letter on Can't
we'll, but gave it to him on his earnest
solicitation. Moreover, Cantwel fixed 1t
up bit before he showed it to Father
OConnor. The change was this: Where
| it ads, "who wishes to Make Oantwe]l
changed it to 'who I wish to make" in
serting the pronoun Il" and erasing the
letters t'es, Note that in this form the
sentence is ungrammatical. OConnor
! " anted the letter destroyed as lndlcat-
ing a possible tendency towards back
sliding. Cantwell refused to destroy
it, and was elected from OConnor's
home @
Nothing dismayed, he went immedi'
ately to the Calvary Mission on Twenty
Third street and gave to Mr.. Graves.
who is an assistant of Rector Satterlee,
of Calvary Church, Twenty-first street
and Fourth avenue, another story of his
troubled heart. Mr. Graves went over
to Mr.. O'Connor to get his version of it,
and, promptly returning, told Cantwel]
to seek the coin he desired forthwith in
some other flock. So Cantwell tried the
Unitarians. He CALEB on the Rev. W.
Locke, assistant pastor OF All Souls
church, Fourth avenue and Twentieth
street. He told his story, presented
what purported to be letter from Car
dinal Vaughan to Cardinal Fabre, the
seal of which has not been broken, and
| asked for assistance. DE-. Locke found,
he said, that
He could speak Greek
As naturally as pigs do squeak,
Aud Latin was no more ditficlle' -
Than for blackbird lis to whistle.
He had smattering of the Armenian
tongue, quoted Sanskrit and dashed off
q few epigrams in Hebrew. He passed
for savant of extraordinary equipment.
| The Rev. Mr.. Locke made Cantwell vel
come. He took him to the Madison
Square Church House, Thirteenth street
and Third avenue, which is in charge Of
Mr.. D. Griffe, and Miss Haines. Here
