A NARROW ESCAPE.

1t was a bleak night in December,
1853 The wind whistled and moaned
round the lonely stone house on the
Shannon, where Maurice O'Grady lay
dying. Inside things looked equally
dismal Shaun, the old dog, prowled
around as if he scented trouble. In
the kitchen old Biddy Morrisy bent
over the low turf fire, muttering be-
tween her prayers, ooh, the Lord
speed him safely. May he come in
time"
Upstairs in the bedroom all was
quiet, except when now and then the
dying man moved restlessly, and
murmured to the weeping girl at his
side, rs there any sign of him, Eileen
Alannah? God grant l may see him
before I die" But the only answer
she could give was. "He can't be long
now, father, he and the boys have q
miles tramp after he lands, and they
must be cautious. Since young Father
O'Gorman came home to say Mass
for his old mother they are suspicious
up at the barracks. It is to be hoped
they won't get wind of Terence's com
ing tonight"

Day after day, for nine days, Rita
knelt at Mary's feet, alone, unseen
by any one, and repeated her prayer.
Imagine the delight of all when one
day, shortly after, the young man
arose, dressed and pronounced him
self cured. All symptoms of the dis
ease had disappeared. never to return.

everyone was mystified as to the cause

the doctor, "but never have met

never will again. cannot account

freak of nature"
When Rita heard what the doctor
had said she smiled and thought with
in herself, 20, doctor, | am wiser
than you, this time"
Then softly stealing to Mary's feet
she knelt and whispered: Dear
Mother, Mary, you and I know
whence this cure. Queen of Heaven,
thank you" Then, through the
little fingers there trickled two big
tears and fell at Marys feet. The
child's tribute of love, joy, gratitude.

A blast Of wind louder than before
struck the house. The waters of the
Shannon swirled noisily, but soon all
was quiet again. Eileen rose and
went over to the window, and peered
out into the darkness. At last she
drew quick breath, and turning
hastily, she said, God be praised
father, l see light, they are coming. :
And with a parting injunction to her
father not to be anxious, she ran
quickly down to the kitchen.
She had not long to wait before
she heard the sound of muffled foot,
steps in the yard outside, and then
the latch was lifted. Four men en-.
tered the kitchen. To one of them
she ran, and throwing herself into his
arms, she cried, Thank God, Terence
you've come in time"
Together the brother and sister
went up to Maurice O'Grady, and then
Eileen left the father and son alone
On her way down the passage she
paused before large picture that
hung on the hall, she pressed a spring
in the frame, the picture swung back
disclosing secret passage leading
down to the river. Then she swung
the picture back and went on down
to the kitchen.
For a while all was silent, then
Shaun made low growl and sprang
forward towards the door. A steady

Meanwhile Biddy opened the kitch

entered, the foremost saying, 81 arrest

TUE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
OUR BLESSED MOTHERS
GOODNESS.
BY Sister of Mercy in the Young
Catholic Messenger.

That was a sad house, indeed,
when the only son, the idol of the
home, was suddenly stricken with an
alarming disease.
The doctor was untiring in his eff
fort to master the young mans
trouble. He was a skilful doctor,
too, whose years of experience and
success had won for him well-de-
served fame in the medical profess
sion.
Day after day the fond father,
mother and three sisters looked
anxiously, but all in vain, for some
little improvement.
The weeks wore on The doctor
felt that he must now break the sad
news to the grief-stricken mother
How he dreaded the task! He had
seen that bond of remarkably strong
affection existed between the mem
bers of the family, so the truth of the
patients condition would surely bring
sorrow when known.
1t was clear, bright morning now
as the doctor rose to go after his
visit to the young man.
Madam" he said to the mother
when they had gained the outer hall

your son can no longer be concealed
from you His disease is incurable
He will daily grow worse. There is
no hope. have done all in my power
There is nothing more / can do for
him.
For minute the mother felt faint
The room seemed to vanish and a
sharp pang pierced her heart. Rous-
ing herself, however, she regained
calmness and answered: Eyes, it is
better for us to know the truth and
| thank you for telling me-" A few
more words, and the doctor had gone
Little Rita, the youngest girl, had
heard all. Her face became very
white, but no tears forced their way
A heavy weight seemed to have sud
denly fallen on her little heart anC
pressed on it like lead.
All day long in school, Rita stud
led, tried to smile in her natural way
but a little white face told its tale
and dear, good Sister, with her ten
der heart, read the story of her pent
up sorrow.
AS Rita was about to pass out a
dismissal, Sister drew her to her sid,
affectionately and said, do no
grieve, Rita, be brave. Your brothe
may yet be all right" Then sh
squeezed the little hand in a tende
clasp. OH that meant so much. N
words can convey the sympathy, ter
derness, feeling of that peculia
grasp, so well known to the girls i
their little troubles.
AS she walked home the doctor
words kept ringing in Rfta's ear:
Suddenly the picture of her littl
statue of Mary, Queen of HEAVIER
standing on its little white altar, cam

THE NEW LAUREATE SOUNDS A
CATHOLIC NOTE.

Dr. Robert Bridges, the new Brit
ish Poet-Laureate, differs in several
respects from his predecessor, Mr.. Al
fred Austin He is ripe scholar and
is the author of some really literary
works. He is modest and retiring;
and he entertains respect and admir-
alton for Catholicity. His wife is a
convert to the Church, and so, too,
was his brother, the late Matthew
Bridges, the poet and hymn writer.
In one of his poems, Founders Day,
secular ODE written in commem-
grafton of the ninth jubilee" of Elton
College, he sounds distinct Catholic
note:
Christ and His Mother, Heavenly
Maid,
Mary in whose fair name was laid
Eton's corner, bless our youth
With Truth and Purity, Mother of
Truth.
o We meath breezy skies of June,
By silver Thames's lulling tune,

The golden gates of poesy;
Or on the tabled sward all day
Match your young strength in Eng
lands play
Scholars of Henry, giving grace
To toll and force in game or race.
Exceed the prayer and keep the fame
OF Him, the sorrowful king who came
Here in His Realm a realm to found
Where He might stand forever
crown'd.
Now learn, love, have, do, be the
best;
Each in one thing excel the rest;
Strive; and hold fast this truth oil

To him that hath shall more be given
Improve the best; so shall your sons
Better what you have bettered once
1t may be added that, besides being
a poet and literary man, DIR. Bridges

ticed medicine for many years in the
London hospitals He is a Master Of

TWO CONVERSIONS.

An interesting letter has been writ
ten by an Anglican convert to her
friend, still an Anglican, in which
she attributes her conversion mainly
to the influence of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. She describes her visit to st.
Pauls Cathedral in Pittsburgh on a
certain Sunday as follows:
81 knelt on, taking no note of time
and not praying much, but just COM
forted Later in the afternoon went
and sat in the first pew in front OF
the high altar, still not praying or
thinking much, just peaceful and COM
forted-like a tired child in it's moth
er's lap. Almost idly I watched the
people come and go, young and old,
men and women, girls and boys, rich,
poor, and the large middle-class, all
are represented in the procession of
humanity who come to lay their cares,
SORROWS, hopes, desires whatever it
may be, before their Friend, Who is
always ready to listen.
cat last a distinct thought stands
out in my mind In what other
church could one see such process
sion? If the Abiding Presence were
taken away how long would such a
procession continue even in this
church?
"The shadows lengthen, the priests
have left the confessionals, and the
church is empty, empty! with the
Allpervading Presence, and / am con
scious of nothing else. No, I cannot
explain it any more, or tell any more
except that l knew Gods will for me
and, with the Blessed Mother, l said:
Behold the handmade of the Lord
be it done unto me according to Thy
Word
when it began to grow dark
went slowly down the long aisle; and
so home like one in a dream. I said
nothing; I pondered it in my heart.
The same lady writes concerning
the conversion of her son, whose
change from High Church Anglican
ism to Catholicism is attributed to the
same influence of Our Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament:
SCI am sure that you will rejoice tt
hear that my dear youngest son is

LESSON XVI.
ROASTING.

Roasting is cooking by exposure to
direct action of dry heat on spit
or in oven. The object of roast
ing is to retain the juices and de-
velop a special flavor. The tender
cuts of meat should be selected for
roasting. The choicest cuts are the
sirloin, rump, rib, etc., of beef; the
loin, leg and shoulder of lamb, NUT
ton or veal; the chine and rib of pork.
Chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, etc.,
are used for roasting.
General Directions
Wipe the meat with damp cloth.
Dredge with -four, salt and pepper
on all sides. Put pieces of fat on the
meat and in the pan (melted fat may
be used). Place meat in rack in
the pan. Put into hot oven. The
heat of the oven should be intense
at first until the surfaces are scared
(about ten minutes) and then the heat
should be reduced and water added
to cover the bottom of the pan. The
meat should either be covered closely
OF DdSJSQ frequently Win -SAC VI ~
pings. After the last basting sprinkle
with salt and pepper. Place meat on
a hot platter and garnish.
Gravy
Pour fat from pan, allow tbsp
fat to 11s tbsp. flour for each cupfu
of gravy. Put fat in the pan, add the
flour and stir over a hot fire unit
