1t has been generally understood
that an engagement actually existed
between Miss ElkinS and the Duke of
the Abruzzi and that it was broken to
the intense chagrin of the latter be-
cause of the opposition of the Italian
royal family and the anomalous posi-
ton in which Miss Elkins would have
been placed had she become his bride

Right Rev. John e. Gum of Natchez
delivered a magnificent address in New
Orleans last Sunday at ST. Joseph's
church, the subject of his discourse be-
ing sis Liberty Of Conscience act or
Fiction in the United States?" Bishop
Gum as soon as he learned that the
citizens of Columbus had offered re-
ward for the apprehension Of the party
who wrote the famous IS. T. Payer
letter forwarded his cheek for $50 to be
added to the fund. The subscription,
however, was returned to him with the
sincere thanks of the citizens committee
as the full amount of the reward had
already been raised.
Among other things OF interest in
his lecture Sunday Bishop Gum had
the following to say with reference to
the sensational charges against the
college in Columbus.
"An incident which occurred in my
own State of Miss, suggests the re-
marks am going to make. You are
familiar with it as it has attained con-
siderable notoriety.
"We have among the many educa-
tional State schools sin our magnificent
commonwealth, one which has the love,
confidence and respect Of every Missis-
sippian; it has a splendid faculty of able
teachers, appointed on account of their
integrity, ability and efficiency. It's
president is worthy of his position; he
is man of tried and sterling character,
and he has proved by deeds that he is
worthy of the distinguished honor of
heading such a faculty and such an in
stitution.
"Its student body is made up of about
eight hundred of the finest purest,
sweetest girls in the South.
ttNever in the history of the inetitu-
ton has there been a breath or whisper
ofscandal, because there never was
shadow of excuse. Pardon me, but
some of you may think am speaking
of Catholic academy or that among
the professors, patrons or pupils there
may be some Of our faith. There is not
to my knowledge, a single Catholic
among the eight hundred, and il there
we're in this connection at least, would
not regret it. And there is not an in
dividual interested in it personally
known to me. Now, what happened?
San anonymous scoundrel writes and
spreads the most loathsome and vilify-
ing attack on the integrity of the facul-
ty, and on the virtue, purity and honor
of eight hundred girls of Mississippi.
"The cowardly act of this base miscre-
ant has not, l need not tell you, hurt
the institution, but it has aroused such
a protest of indignation, from the gover-
nor of the State down to. the humblest
citizens, each one is suffering from a
personal insult, and all clamor for the
wretch who confined pleasure in defam-
ing virtue, or who makes profit in the
business of vilification.

around I saw one of the window
shutters was nearly off its hinge, and

1t was broken. Ellis climbed
through, and standing inside, swung
Dorothy into the room. Then, hand
in hand, like children, they wandered
from room to room. 1t was true that
the interior was in poor condition.
The paper was peeling from the walls,
and there were various leaky spots in
the ceilings. But still the house was
habitable, and a little money invested
judiciously would turn it into very
comfortable abode. And, the greatest
find of all, in the attic there was a
miscellany of old furniture, all sorts
of odds and ends which would go far
toward the furnishing of the less
snowy rooms, at least.

which even three months of married
life had taught him to attend to, I'VE

Dorothy, almost crying. 'My dear, we
are going to have the rooms papered
and the windows mended and move in
on the first. And when the landlord
calls to make trouble for us we'll have
the rent ready for him.
Dorothy's words proved prophetic,
for on the first day of the month fol-
lowing a motor van stopped in front

mot if we have the rent, my dear"
said Dorothy.
Summer came on and soon the
garden was ablaze with flowers. Ellis
could hardly wait for the clock to
strike to leave his Office. And as the
months rolled by and the neighbors
took their occupancy of the house as
a matter of course, their fears gradu-
ally dwindled until
Until that Sunday morning when
the strange man came walking up the
middle of the drive.
1t was impossible to mistake him
for anything but an Englishman. In
the first place he carried a cane; and,
secondly, he walked as though he
already owned the house. which no
American would have done, unless he
did.
Did he? Dorothy and Ellis looked
glumly at each other, and their hearts
sank into their shoes as the bell
tangled.
The newcomer was an Englishman,
but he appeared much less angry
than Dorothy and her husband had
anticipated. In fact, his first words
were decidedly apologize.
