WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Over 500, 900
of alleged fraudulent warrants on the
United States treasury on the account
of the Creek nation in the Indian ter
ritory have been discovered by the
government authorities. The alleged
fraud was perpetrated in connection
with the payment of the Creek Indian
nation debts and only the barest de-

attached had been renewed and paid
under the process of tribal approval
and that many new warrants had been
issued and paid in the place of the old
ones on which full payment already
has been made.

How often Teddie Blake had pictured
his Homecoming through the green
slades that stretched between the castle
and the rectory. Those sylvan aisles
were the ralying place of all his ia
vorite dreams, for did not Nellie cross
them day by day, and would it not be
here that he would bring her to tell her
the secret which he thought she must
have guessed long ago. Rector O'Malley
would let him speak at last, for the long
waiting had borne its fruit in recouping
the Blake Golfers. while Teddie knew
that the Burroo Pass affair, of which
he himself thought and spoke so mod
estly, was not likely to be forgotten
when his name came up at the Horse
guards. A thousand times he had gone
over all this in imagina ton, lingering
meanwhile, the little fiat locket that
hung at his watch chain-and now
and now, he was creeping back to Moy-
liscallan like a thief, having given no
word of warning either to the rector. or
to his agent at the castle-creeping
home just to see Nellie's face again
once more and then to go away any
where and die. He was still weak and
wan from the fever. Mrs. Diamond had
tried hard to persuade him to remain a
little time in London for consultation
with a first-rate doctor, but the deter
mination to see Nellie at Moyliscallan
once more was the only desire that re-
manned to him in life, and till it was
accomplished his shrewd little friend
saw that there was no good talking of
anything else. So he had hurried over
to Ireland, and had reached Thomas
town the evening before. To-day he
had taken car over to the village Tin
the old days it was the shortest and
pleasantest four miles ever known),
and leaving the driver asleep in the sun
at the cross roads had turned into the
wood that is a short cut to the two prin-
cipal houses in the parish. He had no
very definite idea of the plan to pursue.
Now that he had reached his journeys
end, it seemed as if all power had left
him. Perhaps somewhere among the
trees, crossing from the castle grounds
to the rectory side, he should see Nellie
passing by. and he would slip down
upon his knees among the fern and look
at her-George Strangways' wife-and
oh, this faintness! Merciful God! ls
that Nellie?
''Teddie, is it really your"
Teddie was on the moss, stretched
fiat, save that Nellie's arm was under
his head, Nellie's little, bare. sun
burned hand unfastened his collar-he
could only look and smile. The green
MoyliScallan leaves were overhead,
dancing against the blue, Nellfe's face
was very close, and he thought he must
be in Heaven.
How could you come like this and
take us by surprise. and you so ill, Ted
dep the girl went on reproachfully.
IF l hadn't been going across to the
castle this morning early, and come oE

Going across to the CASTLE Teddie

castle now altogether"

CANADIAN BISHOPS SUMMONED.
A Council Called to Consider the
Manitoba school Question.

Montreal, April 6.-Monsignor Merry del
Val, the papai ALLOCATE, has sent out
summons to every archbishop and bishop
in Canada to be present at the episcopal
palace in this city on Thursday, April g.
The summons is imperative, and the cali
ing OF general council shows that the
matters for consideration do not affect
the province of Quebec alone, but the whole
OF Canada.
The government at ottawa has been en-
deavoring to make it appear that when
the ALLOCATE came to understand that the
Manitoba school question is settled, he
would confine his inquiries and decisions
to 1isciplining the bishops of Quebec for
eoercive interference in parliamentary
elections. But the calling in Of the prelates
from the Atlantic to the Pacific on such
short notice is a plain indication that the
Manitoba school question only has brought
the ablegate to CanaIaqan that whatever
policy he means to, adopt viii have the
weight OF the whole Catholic opinion Of
the Dominion behind 1t.
