ey, past commander of the MacPher-
son Doanc post, Grand Army OF the
Republic of Brooklyn. orders have just
been issued from the Vatican permit

the sacred congregation of the holy

1.-THE Four Reformers."

In one of his fables Robert Louis
Stevenson says:
-Four reformers met under Il bram-
BILE bush. They We're all agreed that
the world must be changed. I'VE
must abolish property" said one.
I'VE must abolish marriage, said
the second.
I'VE must abolish Cod" said the
third.
II wish we could abolish work"
said the fourth.
do not let us get beyond practical
politics. said the first. THE first thing
is to reduce all mankind to common
level"
'"rhe first thing said the second,
els to abolish the laws"
"1'he first thing" said the third. "is
10 abolish mankind" all of which have
a familiar sound indicating that the
reformer of certain type is still with

accommodation of those girls who
earn no more than So a week
Until Feb. 6 the building was used
as a school where practical subjects
were taught to young women for Il
nominal fee the idea being to make
them self-supporting. Glasses were
taught in sewing, dressmaking, milli-
merry and cooking, typeWrting, sten-
ography and bookkeeping. In the
basement, which was fitted up as a
gymnasium. physical culture classes
assembled regularly. When the pub
lie schools opened night sessions for
teaching these subjects the managers
of the association, headed by the Rev.
Edward W. McCarty, of st. Angus
tines church, decided tina. the best
thing to do would be to turn the place
into home for working girls.
The association has not, however,
given up It's work of preparing girls
to support themselves. mis- depart
ment is in charge of the Nazarene
Nurses, who educate girls to become
trained nurses. Every Friday evening
there are classes in millinery and en-
broidery. Sewing is taught on Tues
day evenings and shorthand on Mon
day evenings.
The object of training these young
women to be nurses is to supply those
families who cannot afford to pay for
the services of professional nurses
with care,oAers at reasonable wages.

company keeping for these young
things has not come yet. 1t would be
disastrous to their work at present and
injurious to them in the future. Stop
it, all we who can. Where should one
look for company? Not in the streets,
at dances, at theaters, or at general
low Sunday excursions, among tram
silent travellers, etc. People found in
such places are not of the best; many
are there for the purpose, and this
catch as catch company is never
permanent or happy. Street tirtations
are unholy, and are not carried on by
decent people, You should find your
company at church, in Catholic soci-
cites and sodalities and gatherings
among your Catholic acquaintances, in
Catholic homes and at your permanent
place of employment.

Who Should Keep Company?

Who should keep company" Those
only should keep steady company who
are fairly decided in their vocation to
the marriage state, and who foresee
the possibility Of marriage for them,
says the .AuHustinian. 1t Is unfair for
those who see they cannot get mar
ried to keep company. From COM
pany keeping ! would exclude all lit
tie boys and girls who are or ought
to be at school. all generally before
II years of age. All reasonable people
consider it foolish shame to see lit
tie skits of girls in short dresses and
boys whose clothes do not fit them
keeping company. They should be
kept at their lessons at school and at
home when not assisting their par
ents. 1t rests with parents and teach
ers to put a stop to such sentimental
nonsense And parents who encour-
age it even by teasing are not fulfill
ing their parental duty. There is a
time for everything, and the time for

CHAPTER xxx. ROna1d'S Return.

Smithers did not recover sufficient ly soon to permit of Ronald joining the yacht; so that, the Princess and Cara were the only passengers. Theirs was a singular situation: they both loved the same man; the one was succouring, protecting the other! At first the Princess winced in- wardly, as one shrinks at the touch of an open wound, whenever she looked at Cara; but after few days the elder and more experienced woman's feelings obtained the mastery over jealousy; she could not steel herself against the pathos of>the girls situa- ton, could not resist that nameiess charm which Cara always quite un- consciously exerted. The Princess went down before her as Evelyn had done, and presently she found herself able to sit and talk with Cara; and l grown attached to her.
 1 The voyage, the rest, the security, worked their beneficent influences; and Cara, who had been carried aboard, looking frail and worn, and more dead than alive, regained some of her old strength; the brightness came back to her eyes, the serenity to her manner; and as she improved in health, and the Princess noted the revival of the girls extraordinary
 beauty, the Princess, with a sigh, an
 emotion of resignation, felt that Ron- aid, or, for that matter, any other man, could not have resisted her.
 Their first lengthy conversation
 landed the Princess in a difficulty,

They carried the broken wretch to rbe carriage and took him to the cot tage hospital at Port Dale, which was as quickly reached as the Hall would have been. 4 doctor and a capable local nurse were in instant attend ance. and the four gentlemen waited for some kind of a report. It was some time before the doctor came put 70 them.

He saw that tht sooner he exchanged the ruby for z cheque, and put few thousand mile! between himself and the Hall, ths better He fervently hoped that Ra ven might die before he recovere ct the power of speech; but if Raven re covered sufficiently to reveal Dexte Reece's complicity-he shuddered a the thought.

 They were moving towards the door, when suddenly they heard a strange sound. They all stopped and stared around them The mill was working; the great sails were revolv- ing. as if they had been set in mo- sion by some magic, occult power. yane snatched the lantern from Dex- ter Reece's hand and held it aloft; .hen. with a warning shout, he cried:
 Look, Above there:"
 They looked and saw g. hideous lace grinning down at them from the ,rap-door above. They were so star lied. that for a moment they stood motionless and speechless. Then Mir. Lexham gasped, as if inspired with sudden conviction:
 The man. The murderer"
 AS if in response, laugh, a shrili haarse laugh, came down to them; ,he head disappeared; but they could hear the laugh coming from a higher ,oint of the mill. Vane sprang to the ladder. followed by Sir Reginald; they gained the upper floor; the laugh the horrible laugh of the insane, came from a still higher point Vane raised the lantern, and saw dim figure climbing amongst the machin- cry in the head of the mill; and Vane giving the lantern to Sir Reginald, sprang after the fugitive.
 For moment or two there was an intense silence, broken only by the sound of that awful laugh, the creak- ing of the sails. Vane was close upon the man, when suddenly he thrust a door open. Vane saw the sails as they swept past the open door. saw the man spring out, catch one of the sails. and disappear.
 Look out below there! Vane cried. Outside, He's coming down by the sails"
 He almost flung himself to the first floor and down the ladder. and was in time to see something drop from the sail, and fall with a sickening thud on the ground at the feet of the mortified group gathered there.

He uttered no oath, made no gesticula- tion, and even closed the door be- hind him quite carefully and noise lessly. But, though he had made no sign, he knew that his career was finished; that he must at once find some remote spot in which he could hide himself, and drag out the re- mainder of his life.
