 If our country must prepare, and it must to repel foreign foe and invasion. to resist insult from whatever quarter it comes, so we, too, Catholics, must also prepare. Too long have we put up with wrong and injustice, too long have we tamely put up with studied affronts. To- day in America vile publications and a polecat press, assailing all that we hold dear, have the freedom of the mails, and are circulated by agents of evil on every side. Today, there are secret societies that have for their object the boycotting of Catholics in everything, the depriving of us Catholics of every right free men should have, of rights that with our blood we helped to win for ourselves and others.

tials, with the enigmatic words: Il
shall fool them yet, and you'll shall
never forget"
Striving to believe that something
might intervene to delay or prevent
the wedding, Ware had fingered about
the town after Leila's return from the
city, but now, within twenty-four
hours of the ceremony, he abandoned
all hope. A willing bride or a sacri-
nee, Leila had chosen, or had been
forced to choose stupid but wealthy
Boyd Weaver as her life companion.
Therefore Randall Ware was about to
fly to familiar solitary haunts, to hide
himself, to mourn in secret, to try
to forget.
IL was a strange coincidence, he re-
hected, as he was driven from the
remote pineries station to the old
camping place he and his friends had
so often visited, that he passed the
summer home of a cousin of Leila's.

son, when. she and her mother had
been guests of the cousin in question
and of his family.
1t was quite dusk as the old buck
board wagon passed the Lodge, as it
was called, and Ware noticed lights
moving about the place.
"The Davenals here?" he inquired
% the driver.
"Yes, and going to stay into deer
time. | hear" replied the native.
From the direction of the bungalow
merry voices echoed out as the wagon
passed on. Ware WINGED; 1t all re-

had spent at that spot in the company
of Leila.

miles farther on through the woods.

Randall Ware had read in some book
or newspaper that there are animals
which, when desperately wounded,
seek some secluded solitary spot in
which they may die peacefully. This
required to him as he gloomily picked
up his sportsman's outfit, preparatory
to a speedy dash for the wilderness.
For he had been grievously wound
ed-in his affection, it was true, but
all that was worth striving for seemed
to have gone out of his life and he
was inclined to give up the struggle.
This had happened: The young lady
with whom he was desperately in
love, and who he vas assured sincerely
returned his affection, was about to
marry another. This was her wedding
eve. 1t had been torment unutterable
to remain in the same town where she
was, but jealousy guarded from his
company-it was slow torture now to
linger within the echoes of wedding
bells that might peal forth the joy Il
others, but to him m~isery-his doom.
1t was all the fault of purse-proud,
autocratic parents. If Leila Bridges
had gone so far as to engage herself
to Ware the latter would have stood
his ground and maintained his rights.
AS it was, while eye to eye had spo-
ken unutterable devotion, no definite
promise had passed between them.
Ware had been refused admittance tt

away to a whirl of social gayety in
the city. Only one tiny note, evident
