This information reused the priest.
He cast an angry look at the man
opposite.
''You threw the ring into the East
river" he shot back sharply, wasn't
that worse than stealing it?"
For a; moment the other didn't
speak. He sat as one in stupor
while, an expression of guilty con-
seriousness overspread his features.
Under the priests stern gaze he was
evidently not comfortable.
Suddenly the young man looked up
and stared stupidity across the table.
yes, l. admit, Father, it was wrong
he murmured in low voice, but l
just had to do it, He paused, drew
his chair closer to the table and then
spoke again.

voice shaking with emotion, Il hadn't

it. When learned the police were on
my trail i simply became desperate.

possession it would mean prison for a
long term, but | knew also that with
out the ring the law couldn't touch me.
So to save myself determined to get
rid of it at any cost"
I Suddenly, he stopped as If to get his
breath. Then panied expression
swept across his face as tears came
into his eyes. Again he went on.
Il didn't care SO much for myself"
he murmured hoarsely, "but wanted
to save my wife and little girl from
disgrace. / couldn't bear to see them
suffer for my wrong. That was the
reason, Father, why threw'it into the
East river. To save myself from
prison and my wife and little girl
from shame"
When he had finished speaking, big
tears ran down his cheeks. For a few
moments he cried like a child. Father
McDevitt watched him in silence, deep
ly touched.
There was pause. Then the priest
looked at his watch. It was after nine
o'clock. He thought of the article he
had still to write and wanted to end
the interview. So he turned quietly

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK,
ST. CYRIL, MARTYR.

st. Cyril suffered while still a boy
at Caesarea in Cappadocia during the
prosecutions of the third century He
used to repeat the name of Christ at
all times, and confessed that the mere
utterance of this name moved him.
strangely. He was beaten and reyiled
by his heather father. But he bore
all this with joy, increasing in the
strength of Christ Who dwelt within
him, and drawing many of his own
age to the imitation of his heavenly
life. When his father in his fury
turned him out of doors, he said he
had lost little, and would receive a
great recompense instead.
Soon after he was brought before
the magistrate on account of his faith.
No. threats could make him show a
sign of fear, and the Judge, plying
perhaps his tender years.. offered him
his freedom, assured him of his
fathers forgiveness, and besought him
to return to his home and inheritance.
But the blessed youth replied, Il left
my home gladly, for I have greater
and a better which is waiting for me. .
He was filled with the same, heavenly
desires to the end. He was taken to
the fire as if for execution, and was
then brought back and re-examined,
but he only protested against the cruel
delay. Led to die, he hurried on the
executioners,4 gazed unmoyed at the
flames which were. kindled for him,
and expired, fastening, as he said, to
his home.
Souls which are on fire with the
desire of heaven long for death, and
cannot understand the sorrow of those
who would detain them from this SOW
ereign good Cyril rebuked the Chris
tians who stood weeping around him.
"You ought to laugh and rejoice" he
said, land escort me with delight now
that am about to suffer. Surely you
do not know the city in which | am
going to dwell" Their grief, how
ever, was but for a moment; and the
letter in which they relate his passion
speaks only of their holy joy in the
glory of. the youthful martyr. 81

THE DIAMOND RING

Dropping his evening paper, Father
McDevitt leaned back in his Morris
chair and tried to think. He was SO
incensed over an article that he had
Just read that for time he found
it difficult to collect his thoughts. IF
l could only meet the author of that
article" he mused to himself, after
some reflection, 81 think l could make
him retract his words
The article in question was written
by New York lawyer, named George
Oswald. Blakley, bitterly attacking GER
tain doctrines Of the Church. Father
McDevitt never heard of this man
Blakley before, knew nothing about
him save that he now cleaned from
his article. which showed that it's
author was lacking in even the elemen-
tary principles of Catholic belief. And
yet, despite his ignorance of Catholic
teachings this man had the temerity
to assail the doctrines of the Church
in the public. press. Father McDevitt
resented the insult just as if it were
hurled personally at himself and was
determined not to let It pass unnoticed.
So for while he sat celebrating with
himself as to what course he should
pursue in the matter. At length after
some consideration he decided to write
an article that would not only expose
the prejudice and ignorance of this
New York lawyer, but at the same
time explain in unequiyoeal terms
what the Church taught on these par
ticular doctrines.
He looked at his watch. 1t was late,
almost half past eight, nevertheless
he was determined to write the article
before going to bed that night. I'll
sit I'D all night If need be to confound
the william" he said to himself, rising
from his chair.
Going over to a drawer he took out
pile of foolscap and arranged it on
his desk. Then he adjusted the desk
lamp to proper angle and forthwith
sat down to write. 4
But as usually happens in such cases
an interruption occurred just as he was
about to begin. Scarcely had he taken
the pen in hand when a gentle tap
sounded on the door of his study and
the next moment the servant entered,
"a gentleman wishes to see you, :,
she. announced, standing inside the
doorway.
Father McDevitt turned round
quickly in his chair and faced her.
rs 1t a sick call, Catherine?' he asked
hurriedly. .sf go
mo, father" the girl replied. the
gentleman said he wished to see you
on particular business
.Humph! Particular business he
repeated, knitting his eyebrows. For
moment something like a. frown set
tied on the priests face. The thought
of being disturbed now Just as he was
about to start on such an important
work, was exasperating. He felt like
saying to the girl that he couldn't be
seen tonight, but on second thought he
changed his mind
very well, Catherine" he said after
a pause. aI'll attend to it, and the
next moment the girl quietly with

addressed envelope. This is the
name and address of the man to whom
the money is to be paid" he said.
Father McDevitt took the envelope
and to his great CONSERVATION read:
GEORGE OSWALD BLAKLEY,
Counselor at Law,
ST. Paul Building, New York.
1t was the name and address of the
man whose article against the Church
he had just read.
For a moment Father McDevitt
could scarcely believe his eyes. He
stared in blank amazement at the en-
velope again. 1t was, indeed, strange
coincidence, as Blakley had said in his
justice in the Church. And now, as If
to give the lie to his words, the lawyer
was about to receive restitution for
the loss of his ring Suddenly new
light dawned upon the priest. He felt
now that the whole thing was proyi-
Dental just to show this man Blakley
how utterly unfounded we're the
charges he had made, and that his
article from beginning to end was
nothing more than tissue of false
hoods.
Without a word Father McDevitt
rose quickly from the table, went over
to desk at the other end of the
room, and wrote out receipt for the
thousand dollars. Then he handed the
paper to his visitor.
THAT is a receipt for the money"
he said. when see this man Blak-
ley / shall demand receipt also. If
you care to call here at any time |
shall have it for you. l hope that is
satisfactory"
The young man rose to his feet.
There was an expression of gratitude
on his face.
Il don't know how to thank you,
Father" he said with feeling. "You
have taken a burden off my mind and
/ shall never forget you for it." Then,
as he turned to leave the room, he
added fervently. May God bless you,"
and the next moment he was gone.
Next morning with the thousand
dollars in his pocket Father McDevitt
went to New York. On the wav over
he decided after a good deal of
thought not to say anything to the
lawyer about his article which he had
read the night before. The thousand
dollars which he brought as restitu-
ton for the loss of his ring was surely
a sufficient reputation to many of the
charges. which the latter had made.
So he decided to ignore the article and
to say nothing about 1t. He would let
this silent fact speak for itself.

BAKERS CHARGES.

Since Secretary Baker held up to
obloquy the heroes Of the. American
Revolution, likening them to tho
thieving, raping bandits who alter
nately follow Villa and Carranza, It
has developed that he is the type OF
pacifist who makes no discrimination
between wars or soldiers and that ho
has in the past shown his contempt
for veterans, notably those Of the CIV.
IL war. AS mayor Of Cleveland, In
1913, Secretary Baker exerted his 20.
tent influence to prevent inclusion In
Cleveland's new city charter Of pro.
vision, proposed by Major Charles r.
Miller, and embodied in resolution
presented by H. Stillwell, providing
that in selecting municipal employees,
"other things being equal, veterans OF
the Civil and Spanish-American wars
be preferred" Explaining his opposi'
ton: to preference being given to the
veterans, even when all other things
were equal, Mayor Baker said, 1.-THE
man who volunteers for war is no
more heroic and deserves no more Of
his country than the scientist, tele-
phone lineman, inventor or nurse who
stays behind" Mr.. Bakers peculiar
unfitness to be secretary of war was
we'll known to the President when he
chose the Clevelander for that high
office, but Mr.. Wilson was persuaded
that the appointment would help him
to carry Ohio against Hughes and
that was sufficient to outweigh all
other considerations.
