began to believe that a miracle had
really taken place
However, some old backsliders-the
smallest village possesses one or two
stiff-necked reprobates-laughed at
the good priests excessive credulity
The villagers were soon divided into
two camps-those who believed that a
miracle had been accomplished and
those who had the impudence TO assert
that ii was nothing but a burglar
Another surprise was in store for
father Paraclet when he entered the
sacristy one morning about a week
later: the good God had returned the
monstrancei! There it was, standing
on the top Of the sacristy cupboard
Father Paraclet had already begun
to repeat Jobs words: The Lord hath
taken away The Lord hath restored
what he took Blessed be the name
of the Lord" when he noticed that
dirty scrap of paper folded in four had
been pushed under the foot of his be-
loved monstrance. He pulled it out
and read the following words:
Here's your montranz. It's brass.
1t amt no good; it's a fake, and ITS
preshus stuns amt wurth too sour
He thought that he was going mad
And then he mechanically tore the
paper into q hundred pieces.

He was still looking for it when the

in the doorway.

Father Paraclet continues:

not find a more handsome monstrance
within the whole diocese of Arras Its
shape was very peculiar, and it was set
with precious stones. 1t had belonged
to the little church for more than 200
years, and it was only used on great
occasions.
Pascal had not reached the church
door before father Paraclet again felt
as if he were going to faint with grief
and horror. and he had TO rush off
and stop the little acolyte.
He had just recollected that when
the inventory of his church was taken
he, with the help of some pious ladies,
had managed to hide the monstrance,
and thus avoided having to declare

prospect 1t would be much better to
say nothing about the matter.
How had the thieves been able to
enter? He could find no trace to guide
him. Both doors and windows were

was so low that anyone, by slipping

RAILROAD NEWS.
SAYS ORIENT WILL
HURRY TO DEL RIO

Pecos, Texas, Oct. 2S.-S. Y. Jordan, a
prominent citizen of Del Rio, while in
Pecos stated that the policy of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient Railway
company was to complete the extension
of that line between San Angelo and
Del Rio as rapidly as possible and that
a party of Orient officials was now in
San Angelo TO arrange all details re-
garding terminals, so that the con-
tract for construction work by way Of
Eldorado could be let as soon as posi-
ble.
This statement coming from Del Rio
is contrary to the information at hand
at Fort Stockton, where it is claimed
the read will be ready by April of
next year, orders having been given TO
push the main line to Fort Stockton.
1t is known that the Orient people are
doing considerable building at Fort
Stockton.

A MIRACLE
By Henri BacheIin.

" HAT morning father Paraclet
came out of his presbytery, as
= ne had done every day for the
last 40 years, passed through the VIII
lage street, and went through muddy
paths winding between vineyards AMI
fields towards his beloved church
The church, which was quite hum
bic building, was about a mile and a
half distant from the village. 1t had
been erected many years ago so that
it might serve for two parishes.
Father Paraclet walked slowly, and
puffed as he walked along. He was
an old man now, nearly 70 years of
age, and his faith I'm what he was
pleased to call in his simple language
Divine Providence" was immutable.
No matter what happened, it was al
ways for the best. Nothing could hap
pen unless Divine Providence wished
it to happen. He held that everything
from a summer shower to a deluge,
was sent by Divine Providence.
1t was his Pensioners duty to
thank heaven for fire as we'll as for
a legacy. However, the faithful were
allowed to pray that that disasters
might be averted and that Divine Provi-
dence would shed happy events and
blessings, like mama, upon the heads
of the sinful men. That was father
Paraclet's faith.
He himself unlocked the church door
as was his custom every morning, and
then he rang the Angelus, the two
parishes were too DOOR to pay a sa-
cristan to perform this task.
Having rung the Angelus, father
Paraclet crossed the church, went up
the aisle, made a genuflection, and
was beginning mechanically to open
the door of the sacristy, when he sud
denly started; it was already openI
"Ah," said he, how stranger How
was it that I forgot to close it last
night?"
He went into the sacristy and opened
all the cupboards. Suddenly an idea
occurred to him. Several of his brother
priests had lately spoken to him OF
a gang of sacrilegious burglars who
broke into churches at night and stole
