priest celebrated o mass instead of tho
wedding service.
There was talk-talk beyond end and
beyond description, but as it ell
amounted to nothing IL Is useless to re-
peat it here. Michael hid himself in his
room ell that DAY and all the next. His
thoughts and his feelings he kept to
himself. Yesterday morning he bestirred
himself and came to New York to look
for Miss Katie. Whatever came, he was
bound TO have an explanation. He went
to her dressmaker, he went to her mill
liner and he went to the police, and then
he went home as wise as before. He
now began to worry. Perhaps the girl had
met with an accident-but no; In that
case she would have notified him.
IL she were dead or had met with
foul play some one would have heard of it.
Miss Katie, he felt sure. was living and
In the full possession of her faculties.
And when a man feels thing like that
it amounts to positive knowledge.
He had not been home an hour when
he received a confirmation OF his presen-
timent. 1t was a telegram from Miss
Katie, dated from New York:
/ am going into a convent. Pray for
me, and / will pray for you.
In blank amazement Michael sank into
a chair and gasped. Had she telegraphed
that she had gone up in a balloon 1t
would not have been more inexpl plicable.
she had never said anything to him
about entering a convent. AS far as he
knew the idea had never entered her
mind. 1t took his breath away.
There you have the whole story just
as Michael knows Ii.

OF assault before Judge Johnston. The
judge listened intentls-to the evidence,
peered intentIy over his speetacles at the
accused and savagely at his accuser, and
then dismissed the complaint, although
the tbrasher wanted to plead guilty. "Go

We are uneqnivocaily opposed to

ing that a good majority IF our citi-

Now, let those who are in favor of
a licensed saloon, answer the follow
ing questions without sitting their
conscience and being ,l9true TO the
religion taught them by that sainted
mother, and then, perhaps, we will
favor a licensed saloep. Here are
the questions
Did you ever hear of any move
ment having for it's object the ad-
yancement Of any TssItc lmerest
which originated in i saloon or
among saloon keepers
Did you ever hear Of aIown which
published abroad, as an inducement

Did you ever hear of community
which enrolled among its substantial

names of It's saloon ksePers, with
their business occupations affixed?
