DENY PETERS PENCE STORY.
Rome officials Bepudiate Tale of
Huge Contributions.

Rome. May L-Your correspondent is
authorized to deny the report that the
American clergy and Catholics have as
sured the Pope Of a yearly contribution of
a million dollars 10 Peters Pence. The
report is considered here as one Of the
many attempts Of the French press to
create false impression. The French
crisis has contributed to increase the
financial resources of the church Ameri-
cas- generosity toward the Vatican is well
known, and is fully appreciated by the
Pope who has repeatedly expressed his
gratitude for American support which
dates from before the French cuisis. and
has not been provoked thereby.
Lately the resources of the Vatican
have been diminishing and its expenses
increasing. Proof Of this is furnished by
the Pope's intention TO reduce the ex-
penditures 20 the lowest point. His Holi-
ness viii not solicit financial aid from
Catholics which remains. as heretofore
spontaneous.

 And what did you say?" inquired.
 T told them to find out for them selves." she replied. promptly. T didn't have the courage to disillusion- ize them utterly"
 And they're going to find 1t out. if possible"
 T wish we could help them" she remarked.
 Maybe we can." I replied, hopeful ly.

 Then Ethel put her hand on one side, and listened intently. There was no mistake this time; the stairs certainly did give out a continuous series of creaks. Likewise did we hear faint pattering. as of chubby. bare feet, and hard breathing. and half.stifled giggles and gurgles.
 "Mercy!" Ethel exclaimed under her breath. Those babies are actual. ly going outdoors in their night. 
 "Sh!" warned. Don't be alarmed. Maybe they'll put on their coats and hats. Anyhow. wait until they get in. to the back hall; then we can creep upstairs and see them through the window at the landing"
 In another minute the door separat. Ing the front from the back hall closed. and little later we heard ex. cited whisperings from the clothes

 I stood in the hall, listening, while Ethel disappeared above in the dark ness. Soon very sleepy little person said, "Muvver, what co doin'!
 "Oh, just tucking you in, dear"
 Then from another room came Buz-
