If either of the elopers had been
calmer, the solution Of the problem
would have been simple Marjorie
could get of at this suburban station
and drive home from there. But their
wits were like pied type, and they
we're further jumbled, when Shaw
broke in with a sudden: Come, see
the little dove-cote we fixed for you"
Before they knew It, they were both
hailed along the aisle to the white
satin atrocity. Love in a bungalow,
said Hudson. Sit down-make your
selves perfectly at home"
'No-never--oh,o oh, OH" cried Mar
jorie, darting away and throwing
herself into the first empty seat--Ira
Lathrops berth. Mallory followed TO
console her with caresses and mur-
murs of, There's there, don't cry,
dearie
Hudson and Shaw followed close
with mawkish mockery: Don't cry,
dearie."
And now Mrs. Temple intervened.
She had enjoyed the initiation cere
mony as well as anyone. But when
the little bride began to cry, she re-
membered the pitiful terror and shy
shame she had undergone as a girl
wife, and she fastened to Marjories
side, brushing the men away like
gnats.
You poor thing" she comforted.
Come, my child, lean on me, and
have good cry"
Hudson grinned, and put out his
own arms: She can lean on me, II
she'd rather"
Mrs. Temple glanced up with indlg-
nant rebuke: Her mother is far
away, and she wants mothers breast
to weep on. Here's mine, my dear"
The impudent Shaw tapped his own
military chest: "she can use mine"
Infuriated at this bride-baiting, Nal
lory rose and confronted the two
imps with clenched fists: You're a
pretty pair of friends, you are!"
The imperturable Shaw put out a
pair of tickets as his only defense:
Here are your tickets, old boy"
And Hudson roared jovially; I'VE
tried to get you a stateroom, but it
was gone"
And here are your baggage checks,
laughed Shaw, forcing into his fists a
few pasteboards. I'VE got your trunks
on the train ahead, all right. Don't
mention it-youre entirely welcome,

first relief from the ordeal.

yelling; We'll, goou-bye, old boy anc

All Aboard!

AL HDOGTul
The starting Of the train surprised
the ironical decorators In the last
stages of their work. Their smiles
died out in a sudden shame, as 1t
came over them that the joke had re-
coiled on their own heads They had
done their best to carry out the time
hoDorad rite OF making a newly mar
ried couple as miserable as possible
and the newly married couple had
failed to do its share
The two lieutenants gIared at each
other in mutual contempt They had
studied much at West Point about
ambushes, and how to avoid them.
Could Mallory have escaped the pit
they had digged for him? They
looked at their handiwork in disgust
The cosy-corner effect OF white rib
bons and orange flowers, gracefully
masking the concealed rice-trap, had
seemed the wittiesJ thing ever de-
yised Now 1t looked the silliest
The other passengers were equally

byes as if they were hoping to store
up honey enough to sustain their
hearts for three years fast And
the porter was studying them with
perplexity
He was used, however, to waking
people out Of dreamland, and he be-
gan to fear that If he were discovered
spying on the lovers, he might suf
fer. So he coughed discreetly three
or four times.
Since the increasing racket OF the
train made no effect on the two hearts
beating as one, the small matter OF q
cough was as nothing.
Finally the porter was compelled u
reach forward and tap Mallory's arm

From Christmas till Easter, helped
by SO men, we were kept busy clearing
the forest, and building temporary
quarters. Our mission lies at dis
lance of a quarter of mile from a
village of $500 souls. We have al
ready won over all the younger popu-
lation under 20 years of age. On
Sundays we have a Mass attendance
(mostly composed of mem, of about
AGO. and every day of the week about
200 people come to us for religious
instruction
Within a range of three miles, there
are four villages numbering about $50
persons. Further down within days

villages stand on the banks of the

population of about fifty thousand

nighted people? "I have compassion

IN THE CONGO.

Rev. Father J. B. Hanquet, S. j., Of
Congo writes: "The medical aid, and
material help that we give indis-
criminately to the negroes, win them
over to our faith. They are thankful
for the interest we show them. Slow
ly they realize that we love them
sincerely. Distrust disappears, and
they receive us kindly and trust us.
In Sundi, / had occasion to test the
sincerity of the confidence they place
in us. l had seen Father Greglio
ministering to great number of
children, and l asked the Chief
whether he would allow me to teach
them, Certainly" said he. The next
day, with his help, I organized a
school for them.
We have succeeded in establishing
schools in many villages, and we
hope to organize number of others.
We place our hopes in these schools.
in which the young generation will be
Graded in the faith"

SAYING MASS UNDER DIFF,
FACULTIES.

There is a priest down in the Canal
Zone who might legitimately expect
change of work from what he now 10
doing, at seventy years of age; but ne
can think of nothing better or nothing
that suits him half so well. He has
a little church to attend in the
Zone proper, lives at Sanitorium
and does spiritual work there, and
besides, away up in the Cordillera
Mountains he visits the Indians as
missionary The old priest is very
much alive and watchful. He has dis
covered the Church Extension Society
in Chicago and keeps after them for
affairs for his missions, books and
papers for his reading rooms, etc.
Now he wants a portable altar for
his work amongst the Indians in the
big hills. 81 celebrate Mass one day
under tree" he writes, "the altar
made of little bamboo sticks; another
day it is a canoe, bottom turned up
side down; and if am in an Indian
hut, there is no sign of a table to be
found. A portable altar would be
great blessing to me. / am sure some
body would be glad to be the donor OF
a portable altar AS often as Holy
Mass is said on it, the benefactor will
have a memento. / am seventy years
old. It is always hard work for me to
make all kinds of affairs, for the
Indians do not know how to do it. For
the last fifteen years, l have been
travelling these highest points of the
mountains from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and vice-versa have bap-
tized fully thousand Indians, mostly
children"
The good Fathers confidence In
somebody will not be misplaced. The
Extension Society will be glad to hear
from him or her. 1t costs about forty
dollars for the sort of altar the mis-
sionary needs. The Society's address
is 1888 Mccormick Bldg, Chicago, or

FRENCH MISSIONARIES.

The Society for Foreign Missions of
Paris, consist of 1,415 priests, labor
ing in thirty-three dioceses, vicariates
apostolic or procedures apostolic in
Asia. The Holy See entrusted the So
ciety with the charge of the four DID,
ceses of Japan.-The Vicariates Apos-
tolic of Tibet, Yun-nan, Kwei-Chau,
Kwang-Si, Szechuan (three Vicar
latest; Kwan-Tong, Tong-King (four
Vicariates); Corea 1.-TWO Vicariates);
Manchuria 1.-TWO Vicariates); Cochin
china (three Vicariates); Cambodia
Siam, Malacca, Burma 1.-TWO Vicar
latest; Laos, and four Dioceses in
India.
The prosecution of the Church in
France lessened for while the
number of vocations to the priesthood,
and many Bishops refused their eccle-
siastical students the permission to
enter the Seminary for Foreign Mis-
sions, because of their need of priests
at home. Lately the Rector of the
Catholic University of Paris, Mgr,
Baudrillard, announced at the annual
meeting OF the Bishops that the
Summaries of France are again be
coming populated Within a few
years, the Seminary of Foreign Mis-
sions will reap as many vocations as it
ever did.
As it is, the foreign mission stu
dents of this Society are not all with
in the Seminary walls of Paris and
Bievre. Over eighty of them are
performing their two years military
service. The actual number of 225
Seminarians of the Society is in
creasing every day. When one bears
in mind that besides the Society for
Foreign Mission, most of the Reli-
gious Orders and Societies that labor
in China, India, Oceanica and Africa
recruit the majority of their vocations
in France, it can readily be seen that
notwithstanding the dreadful war,
waged against the Church, by an in
fidel government, the nation has not
given up her traditions of self-sacrifice
and devotion to the faith of their
fathers.

WHAT GOD HATH JOINED.

Old NorthrOp, even at his advanced
age. was quite a society man, and NOV
ing in the social set, had heard these
rumors He had often regretted Jacks
marriage, and wishing to show Jack
his displeasure had never called at his
home, nor inquired of his home life.
Elaine, on the other hand, who had a
sense Of pride, was aware Of his uncle's
feelings towards her and took good
care to keep aloof from Jacks Office.
Knowing nothing Of Jacks married
life, old Northrop had heard society
say that he was not happy man. 1t
was generally thought that he would
some day return to his old friends.
Some said that pride alone prevented
him from returning into his old set,
who would have gladly welcomed him,
as he had been general favorite. They
all felt that some day he would real
ize the rash step he had taken by;
marrying beneath his station in life,
secure divorce (the natural outcome
of such marriages. and return to his
old mornings. All of these rumors
James Northrop eventually heard, and
being business mad, blase, and know
ing nothing of the value and power of
love, he readily accepted them as true.
Again and again, as he sat at his
desk that morning, did he turn scheme
upon scheme through his mind; yet
none of them seemed possible for some
reason or other At last, after taxing
his mental powers to the very limit,
and being driven to the last extremity,
he decided on the only one that seemed
possible to him. He must reach Wash
burn in roundabout way.
Why not force Jack to own up to his
unhappy marriage and assist him in
getting a divorce? Jack being free,
then he would turn to Lillian Wash
burn as his social equal and marry
her 1t would be an easy matter, with
a little diplomacy, to combine inter
ests. A great scheme, thought he,
Jack might be stubborn at first in lis
tening to his advice, but after his pride
would have been overcome, he would
surely thank his uncle for his help. A
thought flashed across his mind that
perhaps these rumors were false. But
no, no, they could not be; this was not
the first unequal match that had ended
in this manner. He would try the plan
at any cost. Here was the chance of
his life. If he succeeded, it meant
financial prestige and quick rise in
the commercial world. He could not,
he would not allow this opportunity
to slip through his fingers the one
thing he had dreamed of, had striven
for his whole life. Jack must aid him,
and James Northrop was determined
to win at any cost.

did you wish to see me, sir?" asked
Jack as he entered his uncle's private
Office.
yes, Jack. I've a matter of impor-
lance to lay before you-a matter
which concerns you"
For moment neither spoke; the
old gentleman thinking how best to
begin, the young man wondering what
could be the matter.
Now" began the old man, II want
you to give me your close attention,
and insist that you do not interrupt
me, but hear me out" Evidently the
old man knew his nephew well, and
wanted to be fully understood.
Jack remained silent, and the old
man continued.
you may be surprised when you
| find out that this business | wish to
speak to you about is in regard to your
domestic affairs. For some time have
been hearing of your domestic unhap-
piness; and for this reason, I have
sent for you. You know I was always
opposed to your marrying, because
| felt that unhappines would be your lot
Your social set is still waiting for you
to return to them, for they look upon
your marriage as I do-merely as the
foolish act of head-strong boy"
Nov, if you wish to be free (and
have no doubt of that | will help you.
The boys say that your pride will keep
you from acknowledging your error,
but know that when your happiness
is at stake, you will think well over
the matter, and allow reason to over
come your pride. know at first you
will resent my interference, but can
not allow that to stand in the way of
my duty towards you Think well over
this matter, and tomorrow I'll send for
you, and we can look further into this
affair."
The old man was satisfied with. the
manner in. which he placed the condi-
ton before his nephew. He spoke
throughout in a low, kindly tone; for
knowing the character of his nephew,
he did not wish to appear as overload
ing him. Jacks silence seemed to him
as proof of the trutnfulness of his view
i of the matter. He thought that in
spite of his admonition to keep silent,
/ had he been wrong, Jack would have
interrupted him before he would have
had time to finish speaking.
Jack, on the other hand, was com
pletely thrown off his guard. This was
the first time his uncle had ever spok-
en- to him of his marriage since his
wedding day. Once or twice during his
uncle's conversation he was on the
point Of interrupting, but respect for
his uncle made him keep his peace.

he had gained his composure, .'that /
