Father Augustin raised his hands in deprecaton.
 "It pleased the good God,' he said, Ito allow to be the unworthy instrument of saving life last night and in his usual placid, seni-vivacious man he related how young had broken through the small i1lpond directly back of his dwelling with touring car, and had been caught in the ice that he had been unable dsentangfe himse1f and would doubt have perished miseraby if Father Augustin had not found him leaving the chapel

 Mother Phippa bit her lip. There was no resist ing Father Augustin once he had made up his mind

And evidently he had made up his mind have his way today. Still she fenced, and so there fol- lowed great bother and hubbub of the i1num- erab1e friendly battles betwixt the good Abbe and the worthy Mother. The number of objections which Mother Phippa had at hand to interpolate truly astounding The two parried, lunged, riposted in this duel of words. and finally when the she resi1iently bounded back to her first argument

 My good Mother Philippa, responded the Abbe, meekly, T could not guess that you, of all persons, would speak of anyone in a way that you would not desire him be cognizant of"
 But Mother Philippa really quite angry, and the Abbes face fell. Elizabeth, who cared nothing about having visitor but everything that her dear Father Augustin should be disappointed in giving her what he considered little pleasure, ga11antly saved the day.
