1t seem to you that / am entitled to
know why she is being so suddenly
taken away from me, and what is
the change in life which Mr.. O'Neill
referred to in his letter."
The smile which had been playing
around the Bishops face was smitten
away from it by that question, and
he looked anxiously across at my
father.
Tell her" said my father, and
then, while my heart thumped in my
bosom and the Reverend Mother
stroke my hand to compose me, the
bishop gave a brief explanation.
The time had not come when it
would be prudent to be more def
mite, but he might say that Mr..
O'Neill was trying to arrange happy
and enviable future for his daugh-
ter, and therefore he wished her to
return home to prepare for it.
Does that mean marriage?" said
the Reverend Mother.
1T may be so. ! am not quite

Mother, sitting up with dignity sis

which her father has done nothing
for her he should determine what
her life is TO be, without regard TO
her Wish and VIII ?"
l raised my eyes and saw that the
bishop looked aghast.
Reverend Mother, you surprise
me-" he said. Since when has a
father ceased to be the natural guar
dian of his child? Has he not been
so since the beginning of the world ?
Doesn't the church itself build its
laws on that foundation"
Does it?" said the Reverend
Mother shortly. And then Ct could
feel her hand trembling as she
spoke): Some of its servants do, |
know. But when did the Church say
that anybody-no matter whoa
father, or anybody else-should take
the soul of another, and control It,
and govern it, and put it in prison %
MY good lady," said the Bishop,

in prison to marry her into an illus
trious family, to give her an historic
name, to surround her with the dig

Bishop" said my father raising
his hand, Il guess it's my right to
butt in here. isn't it?"
Welcome Praise.
l saw that my fathers face had
been darkening while the Reverend
Mother spoke, and now, rolling his
heavy body in his chair so as to face
her, he said:
Excuse me, ma'am, but when you
say I've done nothing for my gel here
suppose you'll allow I've gept her

You've kept and educated your
dogs, and horses, also, l dare say,
but do you claim the same rights

when the human being happens to

that anybody else has anything to

that word, but he answered:

Her mother, so far as I can see,
was most unselfsh, most submis-
sive, most unhappy woman" said
the Reverend Mother.
My father glanced quickly at me
and then. after a moment, he said:
I'm obliged to you, ma'am, much
obliged. But as I'm not a man %

me what all this means Does ii

about my sending my daughter to

his feet, may I ask what right you

years has been a mother to your
motherless child. sir. while you have

At that my father, whose busny
eyebrows were heavily contracted,
turned to the Bishop.

I've been paying my money for? Ten
years fees, and middling high ones
too I'm thinking"
And then the Bishop, apparently
hoping to make peace, said suavely:

turning to me.

what she was going to do, that |
would follow her example.
1t was something of a jar to go
back into the streets, so full of noise
and hustle; and all the way home
with the Reverend Mother I was
forming the resolution of telling her
that very night that | meant to be a
nun, for, stirred to the depths of my
soul by what | had seen and remem-
bering what my poor mother had
wished for me. l determined that no
other life would live under any cir
cumstances.
Then came the shock.
AS we drew up at our door a post
man was delivering letters. One OF
them was for the Reverend Mother
and | saw in a moment that it was
in my fathers handwriting. She read
it in silence, and in silence she hand
| ed it to me. 1t ran:
Madam:

back my daughter. | believe her
education will now be finished,
and l reckon the time has arrived
to prepare her for the change in
life that is before her.

NINETEENTH CHAPTER.

TSAW as by a flash of light, what
was before me, and my whole
soul rose in rebellion against it.
That my father after all the years
during which he had neglected me,
should come to me now, when my
plans We're formed, and change the
whole current of my life, was an
outrage-an iniquity. It might be his
right-his natural right-but If so
his natural right was a spiritual
wrong ! would resist ito my
last breath, and my last hour l would
resist it.
Such were the brave thoughts with
which | passed that night, but at
10 o'clock next morning, when ] was
summoned to meet my father himself,
it was on trembling limbs and with
a quivering heart that | went down
TO the Reverend Mothers room.
Except that his hair was whittier
than before my father was not much
changed. He rose as l entered, say
ing, Here she is herself" and when
went up to him he put his hands
on my shoulders and looked into my
face.
Quite q little Italian woman
grown! Like your mother, though"
he said, and then speaking over my
head to the Bishop, who sat on the
other side of the room, he added;
Guess this will do, Bishop"
Perfectly" said the Bishop.
| was coloring in confusion at the
continued scrutiny, with a feeling OF
being looked over for some unex-
planned purpose, when the Reverend
Mother called me. and turning 10 go
to her l saw by the look of pain on
her face that she, too, had been hurt
by it.
She put me to sit on a stool by
the side Of her chair, and taking my
right hand she laid it in her lap and
held it there during the whole of the
interview.
The Bishop, whom I had never
seen before, was the first to speak

was just Is years of age when my
desire to become nun reached its
highest point. and then received its
final overthrow.
Mildred Bankes, who had returned
to Rome and was living as a novice
with the Little Sisters of the Poor
was about to make her VOWS, and the
Reverend Mother took me to see the
ceremony.
Never shall I forget the effect of ii.
The sweet summer morning, tingling
with snow white sunshine, the little
white chapel in the garden of the
convent, covered with flowers, the al
tar with its lighted tapers, the friends
from without clad in gay costumes as
for festival, the bishop in his bright
vestments. and then, Mildred herself.
dressed as bride in a beautiful white
own with a long white veil and at

upon. except for the absence of Wis

vows was like marriage service. too

began to talk of the best date for
my removal, and just when l was
quivering with fear that without a
word of protest | was to be taken
away, the Reverend Mother said
"Monsignori"

Such was the substance of the
news that reached me over period
~ six years. Yet welcome as were
Father Dams letters. the life they de-
scvibed seemed less and less impor-
ant to me as time went on, for the
outer world was slipping away from
me altogether, and | was becoming
more and more immersed in my spir-
!tual exercises.
I spent much of my time reading
religious books-rhe life of Saint Te-
,esa, the meditations of Saint Fran
els of Sales and, above all, the let
ters and prayers of our Blessed Mar
saret Mary Alacoque, whose love of
the Sacred Heart was like flaming
torch to my excited spirit.
The soul of Rome, too, seemed to
enter into my soul-not the new
Rome, for of that l knew nothing, but
The old Rome, the holy city, that
could speak to me in the silence of
the night within the walls of my con-
vent school. with its bells of the Do
minican and Franciscan monasteries
on either side, its stories of miracles
performed on the sick and dying by
the various shrines of the Madonna,
It's accounts of the vast multitudes OF
he faithful who came from all ends
Of the earth to the ceremonials at St.
Peters, and, above all, it's sense of
the immediate presence of the Pope,
half a mile away, the vicar and
mouthpiece of God Himself.
The end of it all was that Ilwished
to become a nun. | said nothing of
my desire to anybody, not even to the
Reverend Mother, but day by day my
resolution grew.
Perhaps it was natural that the
orphaned and homeless girl should
plunge with all this passion into the
aurora of a new spiritual life; but
when ! think how my nature was
made for love, human love, the love of
husband and children, / can not but
wonder with a thrill of the heart
whether my mother in Heaven, who,
while she was on earth, had fought so
hard with my father for the body Of
her child, was now fighting with him
for her soul.

Random Sketches
Early Montrose Mystery.

Among the early Incidents OF this
locality is related a startling Incl.
dent which occurred at Montrose in
which a citizen came very near los.
ing his life at the hands Of an infuri-
ated mob, and who was only saved
fby the determined efforts Of brave
official.
This remarkable story Of the de-
tails of that exciting occurrence was
related to the writer by Mr.. A. W.
Griffith, then an old resident Of Keo-
kuk, who had figured conspicuously
in the early affairs of the county.
The very place where he. related the
story and notes. taken OF it are still
vivid in memory 1t was on Fifth
street in front Of the building in
which Justice Leindecker now, has
his office and it was about quarter
of a century ago. Mr.. Griffith long
since joined the innumerable cara.
van of honored pioneers and old set
tiers of the Half Breed" tract. Mr..
Griffith was an eye witness Of manv
of the stirring scenes connected with
the tragedy which he described.

little back room in the back Of the

the wharf boat quite early to get his
bitters, a custom very fashionable in
those days, and practiced to some ex-
tent even now, and this early-rising
citizen was surprised to see a trail
of blood leading from the front door
of the bar room to the outer guard
on the river side of the boat. He
then instituted search through the
boat and found nobody there. Pass
