The Catholic Women's Foreign Mis-.

Y Mary Ada Livingston of New York city,
under the patronage of His Eminence,
Cardinal Farley. 1t was placed under
the direction of Monsignor Dunn, who,
soon afterwards, transferred it's ener-

aporators.

Every section of Ireland is reused
by the Portobello executions of the
pacifist Skeffington and the shooting
of the boy Coade. This cruel murder
of four men and a boy has done more
to shock the sense Of justice in Ireland
than the execution of Sir Roger Case
ment. The officers of the Royal Irish
Rifles are VIGOROUSLY cruel to prison
ers and the attempt to clear Captain
Colthurst on the ground of insanity
is regarded as white-wash. Dickin-
son and Mcintyre, the other two edi-
tors killed by order of the same forces,
took no part in the revolution.

CONDITIONS IN IRELAND
IN OCTOBER
BY J. II. DonneIIy.

Larne, Ireland, Oct. 21.-Throughout
the Nationalist and Orange sections of
the North outside of Belfast recruiting
figures for both classes are being close
" scrutinized by the active agents of
Sir Edward Carson, who intends to
make more active campaign for con-
scription at the opening of the year.
So far as l can learn the canvass will
show that for every five or six Union
lists sent to the front only one Nation
alist has gone. Much feeling has been
engendered by the study of the recruit
ing lists. Unionists and loyalists de-
clare they will not appeal to their fol-
lowers any longer.

 Ut Is known that Buck Duane is here. Captain MacNelly's camping on the river just out of town. He sends word to Duane to come out there after dark"
 The stranger wheeled and departed as swiftly and strangely as he had come.
 Bust me! Duane, whalfver do you make of that?" exclaimed Jones. "A new one on me-" replied Duane, thoughtfully.

CHAPTER XII.

Next morning Duane was off again, working south. During the next few days he paid brief visits to several villages that lay in his path. And in each some particular friend had q piece of news to impart that made Duane profoundly thoughtful. A rais,er had made quiet, unobtruslve call upon these friends and left this message, 'Ten Buck Duane to ride into Captain MacNelly's camp some time after night"
 Duane concluded, and his friends all agreed with him. that the new rangers main purpose in the NueceS country was to capture or kill Buck Duane. and that this message was simply an original and striking ruse, the daring of which might appeal to certain out laws.
 But 1t did not appeal to Duane. His curiosity was aroused; it did not, how ever, tempt him to any foolhardy act. He turned southwest and rode hun dred miles until he again reached the sparscly settled country. Here he heard no more of rangers.
 He got into rough country, rode for three days without covering much ground. but believed that he was get ting on safer territory. Twice he came to wide bottom-land green with will lew and cottonwood and thick as chaparral. somewhere through the middle of which ran a river he de- cided must be the lower Nueces.
 One evening as he stole out from n covert where he had camped, he saw the lights of village. He tried to pass 1t on the left. but as he mounted a ridge he noted that the road made sharp turn. and he could not see what was beyond 1t. He slowed up and was making the turn, which was down. hill between high banks of yellow clay, when his mettlesome horse heard something to frighten him or shied at something and bolted.
 The few bounds he took before Duane's iron arm checked him were flashing glance showed Duane the open once more, little valley below with wide. shallow. rocky stream. a clump of cottonwoods beyond. a somber group of men facing him, and two dark, limp strangely grotesQue figures hanging from branches.

clear stream between yellow cliffs, stood a small deserted shack of cover ed mesquite poles. It had been made long ago, but was we'll preserved. A door faced the overgrown trail, and another faced down into gorge of dense thickets. On the border fugi- tives from law and men who hid in fear of someone they had wronged never lived in houses with only one door.
 It was n wild spot, lonely, not fit for human habitation except for the outcast.
 On clear days-and rare indeed were cloudy days-with the subsiding of the wind at sunset n hush seemed to fall around the little hut. Far-distant dim blue mountains stood gold-rimmed gradually to fade with the shading of light.
 At this quiet hour a man climbed up out of the gorge and sat in the westward door of the hut. This lonely watcher of the west and listener to the silence was Duane. And this hut was the one where, three years before, Jennie had nursed him back to life.
 The killing of man named Sellers. and the combination of circumstances that had made the tragedy memor- able regret, had marked, if not Q change, at least q cessation in Duane's activities. He had trailed Sellers to kill him for the supposed abducting of Jennie. Vague rumors, few words here and there, unauthenticated stor- les were all that Duane had gathered in years to substantiate his belief that Jennie died shortly after the be- ginning of her second captivity. Sellers might have told him. Duane expected, if not to force 1t from him nt the end, to read 1t in his eyes. But the bullet went too unerringly; 1t locked his lips andfixed his eyes.
 After that meeting Duane lay long at the ranch-house of q friend, and when he recovered from the wound Sellers had given him he started with two horses and pack for the lonely gorge on the Nueces. There he had been hidden for months, prey to re morse, dreamer, victim of phantoms.
 It took work for him to find sub- sistence in that rocky fastness. And work, action, helped to pass the hours. But he could not work all the time, even if he had found it to do. Then in his Idle moments and at night his task was to live with the hell in his mind.
 The sunset and the twilight hour made all the rest bearable. The little hut on the rim of the gorge seemed to hold Jennie's presence. It was not as if he felt her spirit. If 1t had been he would have been sure of her death. He hoped Jennie had not survived her second misfortune; md that intense hope had burned into belief, if not surety.
 A strange feature of this memory of Jennie was the freshness of 1.-the failure of years, toll, strife. death dealing to dim tito deaden the thought of what might have been. He had a marvellous gift of visualizatiOn. He could shut his eyes and see Jennie before him just as clearly ns if she had stood there in the flesh. For

Considering all the domestic troubles, family scandals and love affairs that turn out badly, one might be cynical indeed about the power of Woman's af- lection and trust to keep man on the path of honor in the face of aiiuring temptation.

 Duane strode forward, grasped ths. bridle of this mans horse.

 The rancher, turned white, dropped

 Bounding up, Duane dug spurs into. the bays Hanks. The horse snOrted in fright, plunged into run. He wns fresh, swift, half wild. Duane flashed by the remaining houses on the street out into the open. But the road ended at that village or else led out from. some other quarter, for he had ridden. straight into the fields and from them into rough desert. When he reached the cover of mesquite once more he looked back to find six hOrsemen with in rifle shot of him, and more coming behind them.
 His new horse had not had time t0 get warm before Duane reached high sandy bluff below which lay the willow brakes. As far as he could see extend ed m immense fiat strip or red-tinged willow. How welcome it was to his eye! He felt like hunted wolf thak, in the rocks. Zigzagging down the soft slope, he put the bay to the dense wall of leaf and branch. But the horse baked.
 There was little time to lose. Dis mounting he dragged the stubborn beast into the thicket. This was harder and slower work than Duane cared to risk. If he had not been rush. ed he might have had better success. So he had to abandon the horse-0 circumstance that only such sore straits could have driven him to. Then he went slipping swiftly through the narrow aisles.
 He had not got under cover any too soon. For he heard his pursuers piling over the bluff, oloud-voiced, con fident, brutal. They crashed into the willows.
 "Hi, Sid! Heah's your hoss !" called one, evidently to the man Duane had forced into q trade.
 "Say, if you locoed gents I'll hold - little I'll tell you somethin'," replied voice from the bluff.
 "Come on, Sid! We've got him corralled." said the first speaker.
 "Wal. mebbe, an' if you hev it's It. ble to be damn hot. Thet feller waa Buck Duane!"
 Absolute silence followed that stato- ment. Presently 1t was broken by . ra -tling of loose gravel and then low voices.

CHIHUAHUA ISOLATED
BY VILLA IS BELIEF
State Department Gets Seven
Messages from Border.

Washington, Nov 29.-The state de-
partment received seven messages
from the Mexican border which told
that "Pancho" Villa had completely
isolated Chihuahua City. A division Of
the victorious rebel army was report
ed moving northward along the Mexi.
can Central railroad with Juarez as
their objective point.
Villa is said to have demonstrated
his usual cunning by placing one of
his subordinates in command OF the
column which is expected to attack
Juarez. This strategy is believed to
be due to the presence of 10000 Uni
ted States troops in the vicinity Of Ell
Paso.
General Funston has reported that
General Pershing's command at Casas
Grandes is sufficiently equipped with
men and supplies to face successfully
any force that Villa could muster.
Some apprehension Is felt, however,
that an attempt may be made to cut
the lines of communication in the vi
entity of Gusman or Ascension.

received.
Miss Kelly, the kindergartner of the
Frank school, had her sand table ready
for Thanksgiving and the children
helped in preparing it. It was dec
Grated to resemble a Puritan settle
ment. The Puritan manikins with tall
pointed hats, the barn, house, dog
house and the dog and other appur-
tenances to the old Puritan farm life
were suggested in the work.
