 ''Betty." she begin tremuIousIy, II have made, some tea. I want you 10 carry 1t up, to that poor old man in the attic"
 Betty grinned. She opened her mouth, but evidently changed her mind, for she turned without speak ing the tray Tn her hand. When she came back with the dishes few min utes later, her face wore a yet broader smile. She did not say that the man had sent his thanks to the nice old lady who had been so very kind" but she did observe.
 '.Mr. Thomas saysfas how he's much obliged to you. maam. An 1t tasted just like a piece O nome."
 Poor old mani" muttered Miss Priscilla; and Betty turned and fled.
 For three nights Miss Priscilla made tea and sent u-stafrs bv the hand of Betty On the fourth night came her reward in the shape of glorious burst of music such as the attic room and Miss Priscilla had never heard. It seemed as if whole orchestra was unstairs. So skillful was the players double stopping. In the end there came a throbbing silence, then the first sweet notes of "Auld Robin Gray"
 Miss Prisciiia caught her breath and sprang to her feet She was distinctly shocked. Unconseionsly her eyes sought those of Colonel George Hunt CT on the wall It was only that afterv noon that she herself had been playing "Auld Robin Gray" and now

Very slowly MISS Priscilla walked back to her chair ana sat down.
 It came to be a regular thing after that for Miss Priscilla's piano selec- tions of the late afternoon to De re- peated on the violin In the early even ing.

BY ELENAoR H. PORTER.


 tCopyright. 1907, by Homer Sprague. ) A g-drawn note from violin foated down the stairway and caught the teapot In mid-air. It was held there in motionless suspension over the eggshell cup until another note and another had followed, each one sweeter. more vibrantly beautiful than the last. Then Miss Priscilla Hunter set the teapot down and tiptoed across the room. Very softly sne swung tnc door half open and peered out into the shadowy hall.
 Yes, it was from the attic-room above.
 Two, i've, eight minutes passed Back at the little table by the window the tea grew cold and the toast colder. while in the haif-open door stood inetioHieSs. iuniiaous-eyed little woman "a woman to whom hot toast was a necessity. and hot tea a tradition.
 Out in the hall a stair creaked sharply, and Miss Priscilla came to herself. With crimsoning cheeks she retreated into her own room and shut the door.
 ''To think that l, a Hunter, should listenm she choked, wrathfully; and forthwith proceeded to eat her toast and drink her tea.
 Miss Priscilla was a Hunter--"a Hunter of Beacon Hill." she would have told you, All her life this had been the most important thing in her existence--the first to be thought of,

 ' For time there was some con- straint on the part of Miss Priscilla This gfose from the past was discons fserting. Bus little Dy little this feel- ing wore off, and the two were greater friends than ever. Miss Prscflia told herself that 1t was even better than before. She knew now who this Mr. Thomas was--he did not seem so much of a stranger. While as for Tom Henry--surely an old woman of forty had done with romance!
 Just four weeks later Miss Priscilla knew that at least one woman of forty had not done with romance. and the knowledge bowed her low In the dust. She, a Hunter, in love with man who apparently had not given her thought. had gone away with scarcely good bye, and with no mention of return -a man. too, of unknown birth and breeding.

IN this. his best book" Luther gives
as one Of his principal arguments an
historical lie. He quotes ST. Bernard
a patriarch OF monastic life, as an
authority against the VOWS. saying that
ST. Bernard on his deathbed repented
of his mistake, eXclaiming 'tempus
,eddidi- perdite viXi''-'I have lost my
timc-.-T have led Il bad life" thereby
denouncing at the last moment relig-
ious life and religious VOWS. Father
Denihe's Investigation shows that St
Bernard spoke these words not on Il
doathbed but in the pulpit sixteen
years before he died. Tltat he made
no reference whatever to religious
vows. that he repented not OF being
q religious but OF being poor re-
ligious: that after that sermon ST.
Bernard established many converts
and often praised and recommended
religious VOWS; that consequently Mar
tin Luther shamefully abused the great
authority of ST. Bernard to lead the
nuns to Il fatal sacrilegious deed.
