it seem to you that 1 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. l am not quite

"Monsignor," said the Reverend
Mother, sitting up with dignity, lis
that fafr?"
"Fair?"
rs 1t fair that after ten years in
which her father has done nothing
for her, he should determine what
her life is to be, without regard to
her wish and will?'
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 it's
laws on that foundation"
Does it?" said the Reverend
Mother shortly. And then q could
feel her hand trembling as she
spoke): Some of its servants do. l
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,
would you call it putting the girl
in prison to marry her into an illus
trious family, to give her an historic
name, to surround her with the dig
nifty and distinction :"
Bishop" said my father, raising
his hand, 81 guess it's my right to
butt in here. isn't it?"
Welcome Praise.
I 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'an, but when you
say I've done nothing for my gel here
suppose you'll allow I've gept her
and educated her?"
You've kept and educated your
dogs, and horses, also, I dare say,
but do you claim the same rights
over a human being?"

Ultraviolet rays are used in place Of

The Marommes les Rouen plant has an
output of 100000 gallons of water a day.
The water is first filtered through sand al

rate of 100000 gallons day by means OF
