One sure way there was to forestall
that duel, which, for Charlotte's sake,
in that moment the children of Staver-
sham, reading each the others thought,
were resolved to take il.
They knew the way unlovely, but
Eleanor reasoned that lady's silken
robe may serve to mask dishonor; while
Erisey to himself said-and half be-
lieved,-that he were justified in dealing
with the slayer of Basil Dormer, not as
a man of honor. but as murderer
merely.
So, in any case, would deal with him

that slain man, and she with the ear or

But nothing of this did Thomsine real
ize. In Eleanor and tall Rob Erisy she
saw only two Indifferent folk, and in
her rage at them she fairly stamped
her foot :

cried
She had her hand already on the latch
when she felt her arm, caught into
Erisey's none too gentle hold.

But wherefore?". pleaded. Thomsine
Wherefore may 1 not go speak with
him and tell him"
Because thou art a maid. little fool
that thou art said Eleanor inpatiently.
Thou canst not go tracing through
the streets to pay a midnight visit to
this bravo. Get thee to thy bed, and
leave us two to plan!" ----. 90.
Then Thomsine found herself outside
the door, and. budding her cloak about
her, she ran to her bed, and there lay
trembling. Oh, what was this evil
dream in which she was waking?

that a man must take his licking or
cease to call himself a man. Rather
than bring such shame on Waffle she
would see him die.
At the mere thought of such dark end
for her beloved she sobbed aloud. Then
she remembered the other course of help
that lay open-the direct appeal to this
terrible Won Kerstenbroock.
All. surely he could not be altogether
monster. If only some one would show
him how dear, and noble. and alto

all this house was there no one to go

seized the satin slippers and drew them
on her feet.
Thus shod she crept from the room
and stole down the stair. she knew
that Carisford lay in the chamber at

BY now the moon was up, and its pale

In that moment she realized the
meaning of words that she had only

Then she spied the little heap of gar

Carisford earlier in the evening, and at
the sight she caught her breath.

with soundless laugh she fell upon

She dared not risk a candle, but by
such light as the dim moon lent her,

her chances for recovery seemed

A suffragette outrage was reported
from the Isle of Man to-day. Mill
tants placed broken glass about the
motorcycle track at Douglas where
the tourist trophy event was scheduled
to be held to-day.
The situation in the royal household
is becoming tense, owing to the bit
ter opposition Of Queen Mary to fe-
male suffrage and the fact that the
cause" has been espoused by some of
the attendants of her majesty.
The Duchess Of Portland refused to

course.

BEAVERS
Recorder Declares Crossing the
RubiCon Not in 1t With Clos
ing the TenderIOin,

In an address at the Inman Park
Presbyterian Church Thursday night
Judge Nash Broyles declared that
Chief Beavers was a greater man than
Julius Caesar. The subject of Judge
Broyles' address was citizenship
Referring to the closing Of the ten
derloin by Chief Beavers, he said:
1.-THE act Of Chief Beavers in clos
ing the houses in our midst. without
the advice and approval Of his asso-
ciates and superiors, was a Drawer
and greater act than that of Caesar
when he crossed the Rubicon and took
Rome.
Chief Also More Patriotic.
1T was a more patriotic act, for
when Caesar crossed the Rubicon. he
did so against the command of the
Roman Senate, and thereby became
a lawbreaker. Chief Beavers. by his
act, became "A defender Of the law
He placed his life i'm jeopardy and
he had TO be a man of supreme moral
and physical courage 20 go ahead"
Referring To the recent crime wave
throughout the United States. Judge
Broyles attributed il 90 the lack of re-
speCt for the law, caused by failure
10 enforce it,
South Is Chief Offender.
1.-THE laws are not properly enforced
i'm the United States. and especially I'm
the South The courts are held i'm
contempt, and punishment is seldom
melted out to eNil-dUers. There is not
enough respect for the law. In the
city of London with a population Of
1000, 900 people there were only 20
murders i'm the year 1912. in BirninE-
ham Ala. with only 100000 people,
there were. iu the same year, 300 muir
ders.
Records show that in Great Britain
and Canada so per cent of the muir
derers are convicted. whereas in the
United states only 20 per cent are
convicted.
Calls England a Model.
THE laws are enforced speedily and
with certainty len Great Britain. and
aiutH we follow the example of our

WOMEN'S RETREAT
POSTPONED.

The retreat for women which
was to open at St. Joseph Acad-
envy on June II has been post
poned for one month. The Right
Reverend Bishop Carroll of Hell
ena, who was to preside at the
exercises, is unable to be present
on the date already announced.
The retreat, as originally
planned, will begin on Thursday
evening, July II, and will extend
over the three following days.
A large number of women have
already signified their intention
of making the retreat and, no
doubt, the postponing of it for one
month will enable many others to
make arrangements to attend.
The idea has found favor among
our Catholic women, and there is
every reason to believe that the
forthcoming retreat will be re-
markably successful from the
point Of view of attendance, en-
thusiasm, and spiritual profit.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-05-24

all these is less than that of the
Catholics alone.
Although the Catholics show a
gain of 603, AL, they are not so
numerous, in proportion to the
population, as they were ten
years ago. This is due to the fact
that England contributed 30.63
per cent of the increase of popu-
lation during the decade, while
Ireland contributed only 1856 per
cent, Scotland 1877 per cent,
France 22.09 per cent, Germany
4.51 per cent, and Austro- Hun
gary Cos per cent. Notwith-
standing this, however, the Cath
Ollie population shows a much
greater proportionate increase
than that Of any of the sects. The
growth Of the Church in North
western Canada is evidenced by
the fact that new Archiepiscopal
See was established recently at
Edmonton, and a new Diocese at
Calgary, for the purpose of min
istering more efficiently to the re
ligious needs of the Catholic pop
ulation which has increased so
rapidly in that section during the
decade of years prior to 1911.

HOW WILL TT WORK?

One of the most drastic meas
ures placed on the statute books
of the state in years is the Wal
lace osseen bill enacted by the
legislature during the past session.
Its friends expect that it will
serve to wipe out disorderly
houses all over the state. The bill
allows any citizen to make COM
plant against a disorderly house
and prosecute through counsel. If
the charges are proved, the court
is to issue an order declaring the
place a nuisance and closing it for
one year, unless the owner of the
property files bond guaranteeing
that the nuisance will be abated
Immediately. A fine of $500 is al
so to be assessed against the
keeper of the resort or the owner
Of the property. All the personal
property found in the place is to
be confscated and sold to pay the
costs, and the person filing the in
formation is to receive ten per
cent of the proceeds of the sale.
This premium on Informing"
was one of the chief objections to
the bill, which passed the Senate
early in the session but went
through the House only after a
bitter fight.
This law goes into force on
June first and already there are
indications that it will be given
a thorough trial. The Chief of
Police of st. Paul has ordered the
proprietors Of sixty-two houses,
known to the police as disorderly
resorts, to dispose of their furnish
ings and close their doors not
later than May 26. Up to the
present the policy has been to
segregate the social evil as far as
possible, by combining it to GER
tain parts of the city where it is
under the supervision of the
authorities, and the effect of the
present move is awaited with in
terest by those who have at heart
the welfare of the community.
