A HORRIBLE CONFESSION,
He opened it and began to read
The captain sat looking at the floor.
Not once did he raise his eyes
The letter ran:
In the Name of the Father, the
Son and the Holy Ghost:
1 accuse myself of having loved
my cousin, Lebriquaires wife. while
he was away. l ask for mercy and
forgiveness"
The abbot looked at the sailor Tbia
was strange case. he thought It
was no ordinary confession which
must be kept secret 1t was a dead
man who asked to be forgiven.
1t is beyond my power" thought
the priest, TO cleanse him from this
SIN. The only one VINO can do that is
the man against whom he has sin1ed.
but how am l to break this dreadful
news to this honest man? How can
tell him that the two beings he
loved were unfaithful to him. Oh,
Lord, tell me what to do"
He kneeled down and prayed fer
vently and suddenly he saw what he
as nothing compared to the sufferings
of these two souls in purgatory. An
other man might have hesitated, but
he as a priest had no choice. He
must defend the dead against the
living.
He unbuttoned his coat and put the
letter into an inside pocket Then he
said in his gentlest voice: "Lebri-

TRAGIC MOMENTS
The sailor Strengthened himself I'D.
His eyes were still staring at the
floor, his arm crossed over his chest.
He was bordering how it could be
that he was the one to grant abso-
luton. Suddenly he passed his hand
quickly across his face as IL tearing
away veil
He groaned and stared into space
His eyes filled with intense anguish.
His face flushed and the eyes grew
bloodshot with fury.
The priest looked at him sadly.
and he who had seen so much human
sorrow and despair seemed to lose all
his courage face to face with this
silence.
Forgive" he whispered. And his
word acted on this flame of fury as
cold. pure water on a bleeding wound
The captain felt the rush of blood to
his brain stop and recede. He
raised his head and looked at the
priest for a short moment
Then he threw from his pocket a
gold coin and laid II on the table and
said

II am Captain Lebriquaire, who

The sound of this name called forth
in the memory of the priest from
many people dead and buried fair

in her white dress at her confirma-
ton; afterward she had stood before
him in her bridal dress and last time
he remembered her waxen face in the
light of the candles at her coffin. He
remembered her great sorrow, the
sorrow of a young woman who knows
she must die.
But since then fifteen years had
passed, and very little had been heard
of Captain Lebriquaire. People knew
that he was the master of vessel in
Chinese waters, and that he had never
