NINETEENTH CHAPTER.

TSAW, as by a fash 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 were formed, and change the
whole current of my life, was an
outrage-an iniquity, 1t might be his
right-his natural right-but if so
his. natural right was spiritual
wrong--and | would resist ito my
last breath and my last hour / would
resist il.
Such were the brave thoughts with
which l passed that night, but at
10 o'clock next morning, when I was
summoned to meet my father himself,
It was on trembling limbs and with
a quivering heart that | went down
10 the Reverend Mothers room.
Except that his hair was whittier
than before my father was not much
changed. He rose as | 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.

] 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 to go
TO her | saw by the look of pain on
her face that she, too, had been hurt
by 1t.
She put me to sit on 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.
He was type of the fashionable
ecclesiastical, suave, smiling, fault

silver huckled shoes and wearing a
heavy gold chain with jeweled cross

clothes are being made for her but |

O'Neill your help in these prepara-
tons"
Quivered With Fear.
My head was down, and I did not

again. But the two gentlemen, sp-

1t 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 1t.
Does that mean marriage? said
the Reverend Mother.

bishop looked aghast,

Doesn't the church itself build its

Does it?" said the Reverend
Mother shortly And then Il could
feel her hand trembling as she
spoke): Some of It's servants do, |

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 ?"

his hand, 81 guess it's my right to

been darkening while the Reverend
Mother spoke, and now, rolling his
! heavy body in his chair so as to face

FATALLY INJURED
BY NORTH ADAMS
TROLLEY CAR
Thought to Be Thomas Baibar
of Menands, N. Y.
WAS LYING ON THE TRACK
Sustained Broken Back and Other
Injuries When Body Was Hurled
Against Telegraph Pole

man said to be Thomas Bolbar
of Menands is dying in the North Ad'
ans hospital as the result Of injuries
sustained early last evening, when he
was struck by trolley car on the
out skirts of North Adams. There
are several circumstances surround
ing the case which have mystified
the officials and It is expected that
an investigation will be held. One
feature which can not be understood
is the fact that when Bolbar was
struck by the car he was lying in an
apparently unconscious condition
across the tracks.
According to the railway officials
the accident occurred about 7:4J
o'clock on the outskirts of North
Adams. A car from Pittsfeld, due
in North Adams at 7:45 O'Clock was
rounding a sharp curve on South
Ashland street when the motorman
saw the body of man lying across
the t'acks. The car was travelling at
high rate of speed and although
the motorman applied the emergency
brakes he was unable to stop the con
veyancc.
The fender OF the car struck Boil
bar and hurled him quite distance,
his body coming in contact with a
telegraph pole. Physicians were bur-
riedly summoned and they advised
his immediate removal to a hospital.
At the latter institution it was found
that he had sustained broken back
and internal inju les, the extent of
which are not known.
When he was placed on the oper-
ating table the physicians said that
his death was sure, It being only a
matter Of time.
Bolbar was identified by means of
card in his vest pocket which bore
the inscription Thomas Bolbar,
Menands, n. Y" He was not known
by anyone in North Adams and moth
ing has been learned as to how he
came to be lying across the tracks.

Is Held Responsible for cumbre

Americans Were Killed

Fort Bliss, Tex, Feb 1S.--Mayi.
mimo Castillo, the Mexican bandit,
charged with responsibility for the
Cumbre tunnel disaster, in which 10
Americans and IL Others lost their
lives, was captured SO miles south OF
Hachita, n. NJ, yesterday by Ameri-
can troops. The information was
conveyed at FL Paso, Tex, yesterday
to Gen Hugh l.. Scott, commandant
at Fort Bliss, in an official telegram
from Capt. White, 9th United States
cavalry.
With the bandit were six of his fol-
lowers. According to Capt. Whites
brief dispatch they SURRENDERED with
out fight. They will be taken to Ell
Paso. Castillo, to avoid a range Of
mountains on the Mexican side,
made detour which brought him in
to American territory. Capt. White
was on the watch, having received in
formation Monday from Walter Nc
Gormick, American manager OF Las
Palomas ranch on the Mexican side,
that the much-wanted man was In the
vicinity.
Capt White telegraphed by army
wireless to Gen. Scott for instruc-
lions and was ordered to arrest the
bandit should he put foot on Ameri-
can soil. Whether the prisoner viii
be surrendered to the rebels is 4
legal question which remains to be
settled. If this is done, there IS no
doubt that he Will be executed for
the Cumbre disaster. He is not
charged with any crime on this side
Castillo set fire to n freight train in
the Cumbre tunnel two weeks ago.
The FIRE was still burning when a
passenger train crashed into it and
everybody on board was lost. The
tunnel is still burning. A special
dispatch to the Times from Hachlta.

made by Lieut.. Rothwell of troop A.

of the theft of IS horses belonging
