TWELFTH CHAPTER.

NF our journey to Rome nothing
remains to me but the memory
of sleeping In different beds in
different towns, of trains screaming
through tunnels and slowing down in
glass-roofed railway stations, of end
less crowds of people moving here and
there in a sort OF maze. nothing but
this, and the sense of being very little
and very helpless and of having to be
careful not to lose sight of Father
Dan, for fear of being lost-until the
afternoon of the fourth day after we
left home.

Hints for the
Household

Powder the insides of new gloves
to make them easier to slip on, and
also, in the case of colored kid ones
to prevent the dye from staining the
hands.
Don't throw away squeezed lemons,
but use them for cleaning. Dip them
into fine whitening, and they are in
valuable for brass or copper.
To stop hiccough, give the patient
a teaspoonful of granu1ated sugar and
vinegar. If this does not afford in
slant relief, repeat the dose.
A quickly made glue which is very
strong is made by rubbing a little
piece of cold boiled potato on sheet
of paper with the fingers.
Scorch marks on linenamay be To-
moved by rubbing with a fresh cue
onion, the garment being afterward
soaked in cold water.
If you want to heat a fiatiron 4r,
your room, tin plate over the gas
jet will enable you to heat the iron
twice as quickly.
Before blanching almondx soak
them for two or three minutes in
boiling water; the skin will then slip
off quite easily.
A ltttio ground almonds mixed
through fruit cake will prevent the
fruit from sinking to the bottom.

Just go t. work and fix up this con-

My mother was crushed Her lips
moved again, but she said nothing
aloud, ana my father turned on his
heel and left the room, shaking the
floor at every step under the weight
Of his sixteen stone. At the next mo-
ment Aunt Bridget jinglng her keys,
went tripping after him.
Hardly had they gone when my
mother broke into long fit Of cough
ing and when It was over she lay
back exhausted with her white face
and her tired eyes turned upward.
Then / clasped her about the neck,
and Father Dan, whose cheeks were
wet with tears. patted her dropping
hand
My darling mother! Never once
have ! thought OF her without the
greatest affection, but now that /
know for myself what she must have
suffered ! love best to think OF her as
she was that day--my sweet, beauti-
full, timid angel--standing up for one
brief moment. not only against Aunt
Bridget, but against the cruelty of all
ages, in the divine right of her out
ragged motherhood.

"My gracious!" said Aunt Bridget
and she tried to laugh, but L could
see that her face became as white as
a whitewashed wall. This did not
trouble me in the least until reached
the carriage, when Father Dan, who
was sitting inside, said:
MY little Mary won't leave home
like that-without kissing her aunt
and saying goodbye to her cousins"
So l returned and shook hands
with Messy Macleod and Betsy
Beauty, and lifted my little face to
my Aunt Bridget.
That's better" she said, after she
had kissed me, but when had passed
her my quick little ear caught the
words:
Good thing she's going, though"
During this time my father, with
the morning mist playing like boar
frost about his iron-gra hair. had
been tramping the gravel and saying
the horses were getting cold, so with
out more ado he bundled me into the
carriage and banged the door on me.

But hardly had we started when
Father Dan. who was blinking his
little eyes and pretending to blow his
nose on his colored print handker-
chief. said, Look" and pointed up
to my mothers room.
There she was again, waving and
kissing her hand to me through her
open window, and she continued to
do so until we swirled round some
trees and lost the sight of her.

II was Martin, and though his right
arm was in a sling, he leaped up to
the step and held on to the open win
dow by his left hand while he pushed
| his head into the carriage and made
signs for me to take out of his mouth

and least of all when / looked back
and saw his little one-armed figure
in the big mushroom hat, standing on
the top of the high wall of the bridge,
with William Rufus beside him.
We reached Blackwater in good
time for the boat, and when the fun
nels had ceased trumpeting and we
were well away, saw that we were
sitting in one of two private cabins
on the upper deck: and then Father
Dan told me that the other was occu-
pied by the young Lord Raa, and his
guardian, and that they were going
up together for the first time to OK

motion. 1t chiefly consisted for me
| in putting on my new clothes, includ-
ing my furs, and then turning round
and round on tiptoe and smiling at
myself In a mirror. l was doing this
while my mother was telling me to
write to her as often as l was al
lowed, and while she knelt at her
prayer stool, which she used as a
desk, to make a copy of the address
for my letters.
Then l noticed that the first line Of
her superscription, Mrs. Daniel
O'Neill," was blurred by the tears
that were dropping from her eyes,
and my throat began to hurt me
dreadfully. But ! remembered what
Father Dan had told me to do, so
said:
Never mind, mamma. Don't wor-
ry-Pll be home for the holidays"
Soon afterward we heard the car
riage wheels passing under the win
dow, and then Father Dan came up in
a white knitted muffler, and with a
funny bag which he used for his sur
plice at funerals, and said through a
little cloud of white breath, that ev-
erything was ready.
| saw that my mother was turning
round taking out her pocket handker-
chief, but at sign from Father Dan,
who was standing at the threshold,
squeezed back the water in my eyes
and cried:

for Christmas and then darted
across to the door

strange low voice, and I turned and

"Mally veenl My Mally veen," and
| could feel her heart beating through

in her throat. and then all our poor
little game Of make believe broke
down utterly.
Al the next moment my father was
| calling upstairs that | should be late
for the steamer, SO my mother dried
her own eyes and then mine. and let
me go.
Father Dan was gone when

down in my tinery l passed them in

with shawl over her shoulders by

Meanwhile the State De-

on Benton Affair

Washington, d. c. March 7--Ofiicials
of the state department nave decided
that the8note recently presented by the
Huerta government, suggesting that on
account of the Boston incident the United
States should revoke the right it had
extended to the constitutionalists to pur-
chase arms in this country, required no
answer.
The United States is hiding its time
while the commission appointed by the

cent execution of Benton and the dis
appearance of Gustav Bauch makes its
report There is every prospect that the
general subject of the protection OF
American citizens and foreigners in Mex

bate in the Senate on Monday.
