The Loss of the Scotia.

DID not know then, and it seems
unnecessary to say now, why my
father gave up the search for me
in London. He did so. and from the
day the milllner's clew failed him ]
moved about freely.
Then, from the sense of being
watched I passed into that of being
lost.
Sister Mildred was my only friend
in London, but she was practically
cut off from me. The Little Sisters
had fixed her up lin the interests Of
her work among the lost oneD in a
tiny flat at the top of a lofty build
ing near to PiccadilIy. where her
lighted widow always reminded me
of a lighthouse on the edge of a dan
gerous reef. But in giving me her
address she warned me not to come
to her except in case of urgent need,
partly because further intercourse
might discredit her denial. and partly
because it would not be good for me

l felt more humbled than ] had
ever been before, but after while
said: Now you see why I can
never go back. And you will save
me, win you not?"
There was silence for some mo-
ments. Mildred had drawn back in
her chair as if an evil spirit had
passed between us. But at length
she said, 1T is not for me to judge
you, Mary. But the gentlemen will
come up soon to know if you are the
Mary O'Neill whom ! knew at the
Sacred Heart. and what am 1 to say
to them?"
Say no." l cried. why shouldn't
