Quest held up the paper. They all
read. The professors letters were
carefully formed, his handwriting per-
fectly legible:
You have been clever opponent,
Sanford Quest, but even now you are
to be cheated. The wisdom of the ages
outreaches yours, outreaches it and
triumphs.
Quest looked up quickly.
What the devil does he mean?" he
muttered.
The professors arms shot sudden
ly above his head Again that strange
animal look convulsed his features.
He burst into loud, unnatural laugh.

out his wrist, which was slowly turn

laboratory" Quesy directed. See you
later, French"
"Yes-perhaps- 1 hope So" the in
spector replied nervously.
Quest watched him disappear with
a puzzled smile. Then he sat down
at his desk, drew a sheet of paper to-
wards him and egan to write:
My Dear Inspeeto

ting you know that out Of difference to

ardous and nerve-racking profession

career. You will have, therefore, to
find help elsewhere in the future.
With best wishes. Yours,
SANFORD QUEST.
He left the sheet of paper upon the
desk and, ringinn the bell, sent for
Lenora. She apr cared in few mo-
ments and came ,,ver to his side.
What is it, Mr. Quest?" she asked.
He gave her the letter without re-
mark. She read it through and, turn
ing slowly around, looked at him ex-
pectantly.
"How's that seem to your" he
asked, reaching out his hand for a
cigar.
VERY sensible, indeed" she replied.

Quest pocketed the diary.
You're perfectly certain that he

Quest shrugged his shoulders.

said.
They were on the point of starting.

starting handle, French with the
steering wheel of the police car al
ready in his hand And then the little
party seemed suddenly turned to
stone For a few breathless seconds
not one of them moved Out into the
clammy night air came the echoes of
a hideous, inhuman, blood-curdling
scream. Quest was the first to re-
cover himself He leaped from his
seat and rushed back across the emp
ty hall into the study, followed lit
tie way behind by French and the
others. An unsupported panel door
which led into the garden stood slight
ly ajar. The professor, with his hand
on the back of a chair, was staring
at the fireplace, shaking as though
with some horrible ague, his face dis
torted, his body curiously hunched
up. He seemed suddenly to have
dropped his humanity, to have fallen
back into the world of some strange
creatures. He heard their footsteps,
but he did not turn his head: His
hands were stretched out in front
of him as though to keep away from
his sight some hateful object.
Stop him." he cried. ''Take him
away! It's Craig-his spirit! He
came to me in the garage, he followed
me through the grounds, he Knocked
there now, kneeling before the fire
place. Why can't I kill him! He
is coming! Stop him, someone!"
No one spoke or moved; no one, in
deed, had the power. Then at last
Quest found words.
There is no one in the room, pro-
fessor," he said, except u.s."
The sound of human voice seemed
to produce a strange effect. The pro-
fessor Strengthened himself, shook his
head, his hands dropped to his side,
CHASTITY pale, but his smile was once
more the smile of the amiable natu-
ralist.

I am very old, and the events of these
last few hours have unnerved me.
Forgive me-"
He CROPPED for a moment and sank
into chair. Quest fetched a ocean
ter and a glass from the sideboard,
poured out some wine and held it to
his lips. The professor drank it eag-
erly.
my dear FRIEND" he exclaimed,
you have saved me. I have some
thing to tell you, something | must tell
you at once, but not here. I loathe
this place. Let me come with you
to your rooms
LAS you please" Quest answered,
calmly.
He gripped Quests arm. In silence
they passed from the room, in silence
they took their places once more
in the automobiles, in silence they
drove without pause to Quests
rooms. The professor made his way
at once to his favorite easy chair,
threw off his overcoat and leaned
back.
"Quest,' he pronounced, you are
the best friend l have in my life! 1t
is you who have rid me of my great
burden. Tell me-help me a little

THE RIGHT SORT OF AID.

The converts throughout Ireland,
especially in the regions of Kerry,
are busily engaged in the production
of Irish laces and the manufacture
of woolens from raw materials. The
peasant women are adept and sue
cessful in their craft and the beauty
of their products impress those who
take an interest in the work they
are doing.
A lady of wealth, visiting the coun.
ty of Kerry, decided that an excellent
opportunity was offered for doing
some practical work. She decided to
donate large sum of money to aid
and encourage the manufacture OF
laces and woolens, but what was far
more important, she promised to use
her best offices to find a market fol-
Irish products in the United States
This is the important item. A market
for Irish products is the one thing
desired. Furnished with market
and demand, the value and beauty
of the products, properly advertised
Irish products will be in demand and
Irish laborers will flourish and pros

land wants. This can come only by
the realization that Ireland is for the
Irish, a separate and distinct land and
only under such circumstances can
she prosper as she should.

An additional paragraph includes al.

seeing Pope Leo XIII, on the question
of a living wage in the following
terms:
"The welfare of the state demands
that the useful labor Of every able.

be compensated by sufficient income
to support in comfort himself, wife,
and at least three minor children, and
in addition to provide for sickness, old

THE NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION.

The Irish Standard has given con-
siderable space to the altogether UNI
pleasant and very disagreeable atmo-
sphere that prevailed at the meeting
Of the National Education Association,
in Oakland California. Bigotry stalked
rampant and the true conditions were
aired, when one of the candidates for
the office Of president, Catholic,
brought to light the underhanded at
tempts which comprised her defeat,
mainly brought about by the docile
faddist of Chicago, Mrs. Young. Mrs.
Young started to organize the Chicago
schools in line with her isms, hobbies
and fads, which proved to the most
casual observer, that everything be.
tween bad manners and grand larceny
found place in the Chicago idea of
a modern education. With a sub
verting of pedagogical authority, Mrs.
Young as superintendent of the Chi
cago schools was going to encourage
morals and manliness. Matters had
gone so far in the teaching of sex
hygiene that certain pamphlets intend.
ed for instruction on that subject were
declared unavailable by the United
States postal authorities. Catholics
took hand in the matter and their
determined stand defeated the faddist,
and she had but little use for the
Catholics since then, If she ever had
before. Her attitude toward students
from the parochial schools who de.
sired to enter the normal, would
indicate that she never had a particu.
lar liking for Catholics. 1t is not to
be doubted then that Mrs. Young was
particularly active at the last session
Of the National Educational Assocla-
ton. The defeat of Miss Strachan
will we'll bring about the return to
first principles in educational matters,
with apublic recognition that reli.
gfon constitutes the four RS in edu.
cational values.
Miss strachan is fine type of WON.
an, an exemplary Catholic lady, and a
leader in the educational affairs of
New York.
