Then taking her hand the two went
softly out at the back of the garden
and down the street to where he had
his horses.
A little later and they were riding
down lane towards the south. The
sergeant explained that some friends
of his were on guard duty there and
would pass them without any noise.
Once past the guard line around the
city and they were on a road along
which they galloped without any at
tempt at conoealment. For six miles
they rode hard, and then two dark
figures rose up and commanded "Halt." )"
Its me, Murphy" said the sergeant.
"Is Everything all right?"
"'Tis that same," answered one of
the figures. "Come on now" The two
men in the road threw themselves on
their horses, which they brought from
somewhere out of the shadows, and led
the way along trail as black as a
pocket, fringed as it was with heavy
Jungle on each side. Suddenly Katie
found herself standing in front OF
church that looked somber and grand
on the moonlight.
sThis is the church," said the SER
geant. "I'm all roight now. 'Tis where
I am stationed, and anything thet l do
here I kin boast of, for tits no wan

meself. Come, now, Kitty. The little
nigger man is within, an the candles
are lighted an tits all roight. Come
now, darlint."
Through the open door of the church
Katie saw the lights of the wax candles
on the altar. A priest in full vest
ments stood in the light of the can
dies, waiting. She was satisfied. With
a tired little sigh she allowed Sergean,
McManus to help her to the ground.
"Some of the boys are inside fer tn
audience" said the sergeant, ''an

in my life, and when she died her rel
atives never whipped me either. But
she punished me for that lettering that
day in a way that 1 remembered for
years. The murderers We're buried after
the execution in what was known as

offense 1 must go to the newly made
graves of the murderers and bring her
back a handful of earth from the
graves. How my eyes did open and
my hair stand on end. 1t was then
dark, and L didn't believe there was a
person alive who could do that and live.
1 thought that my old mIssus knew
everything, and when the idea came
into my mind of going around the COR

earth there, | gave it up as a certain
thing that she would know the differ

much later in the night. How l ever
went to the grave and got back L
don't know, but 1 did, and my old
missus rubbed some of the dirt in my
face. That was the worst punishment
she ever gave me, and I did not let it
pass out of my mind for many years.
When 1 behaved badly after that she
threatened to send me to that same
spot for more dirt. But as l say, she
never struck me d blow in my life or
allowed anyone else to do it. Some
times she would pull one of my ears
to bring me to a remembrance or
something she told me. God bless her

Distress in West Clare.

A dispatch from Kilrush on Tuesday
says: Very grave apprehensions exist
throughout the community that the
coming winter will be one of great
hardship and distress throughout West
Clare amongst the poorer class in con-
sequence of the great scarcity of en-
ployment particularly in agricultural
districts, taken in conjunction with the
disastrous influence of the lorg rainy
spells on the tuber yields, which fur
nish the staple article of food supply
In this latter connection an optimist
forecast would set down the potato
yield of the season at one-fourth of
other years. So serious, indeed, is the
aspect Of affairs that the local govern
ment board have specially sent down
an inspector to make inquiries, as a
result of which, it is stated, that the
four receiving officials of the Kilrush
Union have received special instruc-
tons to proceed through the districts
within their jurisdiction with great fire.

A Few Minutes With God.

We Catholics who live in large cities

tances from a church. We sometimes
fancy we are doing a great deal if we

Relief for Flood Sufferers.

We are delighted to find that the eff
forts of Father Cummins. P. P. of
Claregawy to bring assistance to the
people of the village of Monteagh, who
have been so badly hit by the recent
floods, has been rewarded with consid-
Ierable success. The good priest has
succeeded in ensisting on behalf of his
people the influence of Mr.. Duffy. the
member for South Galway; Joseph A.
Glynn, chairman of the Galway County
council, and several member of the To-
cal boards. The committee that has
been formed has issued a circular which
sets out the circumstances of the dis
aster. Owing to the neglect of the
drainage boards to keep the river at a
proper depth says the circular. and
the selfish action of the various boards
which control the waters of Tough Cor
rib, the people living along the lower
reaches of the river are never safe from
floods. As a result of the recent rains
the volume of the river increased to an.
alarming extent. and finally sweeping
over the banks flooded all the adjacent
country For weeks the entire plain
was one vast lake. The result of all
this may be imagined. The Galway
county council has appointed a COM
mittee to make a public appeal to help
the poor people of the district to replace
their crops ard to, provide seed for next

Enisconalians Will Be Mild.

The PAM American conference of
Episcopal bishops adopted resolutions
| regarding the attitude of the Episcopal
church toward the Catholic church,
providing that the former in its con-
ten;ion for its rights contend always
with unlimited charity to the Roman
Catholic clergy and people, rather in
the spirit of maintenance, defense and
proof. than of controversy and at
tack" The resolutions also urge that
Episcopalians marrying Catholics
should not promise that their children
should be brought up in the Catholic
faith
Resolutions were adopted recon-
mending a more kindly attitude toward
the other Protestant bodies with a
view to possible union with them. and
recommending that it be commended
to all bishops and other clergy first to
familiarize themselves with the great
political and economic questions which
today are in all lands dividing men,

marks an important epoch in the reor-
ganizatien Of the Catholic church in
Cuba.
The recent division OF the island into
four dioceses and the appointment OF
more bishops Was due to the reason
that the diocese of Havana Was con-

churches were not multiplied, or there
were not as many Gioceses and churches

Million For O. Stomach.
st. Louis POst-Disnnfchl l

(St Louis Post-DispatCh.)
Forty-seven residents of Jersey City
have formed an Anti-Dyspeptic club. the
chief object of which is ito inculcate and
foster the habit of eating only homely
and substantial food"
How foolish. How short-sighted What
we need is not palmer food but better
stomachs; not simpler fare but stronger
gastric juice.
What we need is not an Anti-Dyspeptic
club. but Society for the Promotion OF
Cast Iron Stomachs.
Until we have cast iron stomachs we
can never hope to enjoy peace of mind
to say nothing of piece of meat
Some persons are so impractical in their
ideas of reform What is the use of try
ing to eat if we are to be kept on ten
terhooks for fear that we will take a
bite or a swallow too much, or inveIgle
into our system something undigestible?
What this country demands is not only
a full dinner pail but healthy stomach
with which to digest its contents. Some
body is going to be elected president Gu
some such platform as this some day.

the alleged apparition or vision at

a few days, and to pilgrimages taken

That they did not meet his approval
was plain and the sermon caused in
tense interest among local Catholics,
as many Of them had not only gone on
q pilgrimage last summer. but also went
to Owego to see the recent vision"
Referring TO the Owego incident,
where the shadow Of a cross was said
to rest above the bier Of devout
Catholic woman, and where the family
is said to have charged admission to the
room, the bishop said such things were
not to be credited by the people and
that Catholics needed no such evidences.
