 "oh!" she exclaimed in e low voice. and her face flushed wrathfully. Whom does your land belong to?" she demanded after a moments silence. Are you a bondman to Bad Anse Ha. vey? Isn't your property your own? '?
 He looked away and rummaged in his pockets for e few crumbs of leaf tobacco. then he commented with the dreary philosophy of hopelessness: Hits a Gods blessed truth thet . feller hyarabouts is plumb lucky es long as his life's his own.'
 So. she told herself. Bad Anse had begun his war with boycott! She could not even buy . foothold on which to begin her fight Back there in the Philadelphia banks lay enough money she bitterly reflected. to buy the coun try ct an inflated price. to bribe its courts. to hire assassins and snui out human lives. yet. since the edict of one man carried the force of terror. she could not purchase Q few acres tc teach little children and care for the sick. At least it was a confession that for all his fine pretense of scorn. ths man recognized and feared the poten tiality of her efforts.

"fietch mcNdSn nee Dohe beeh Niih- ye're plumb. everlastingly sartain who got your pa, ye won't raise your gun against any man." The boy sank down into his chair and bowed his head in his hands. while his finger-nails bit into his tenn ples. Even Juanita Holland had felt the effect of Havey's wonderfully Quieting voice. Finally Jeb McNash raised his face.
 An will ye give me yore hand Anse Havey, thet if ye finds hit ou afore I do. yen tell me thet mans pame?"
 ''I ain't never turned my back on | a kinsman yet. Nb." said Anse grave iy.
 The boy nodded his acquiescence and hurriedly left the room. Juanita gently lifted Dawn's head from her tap and went forward to the hearth. She had listened in silence, out 1 ragged at this callous talk and this | private usurpation of powers of life | and death. Now 1t seemed to her that to remain silent longer was al most to become an accomplice. Something In her grew rigid. She saw the bent and lethargic figure of the bereaved wife and the stark, sheet. | ed body of the feud's last victim. Be ] fore her stood the man more than anyone else responsible for such cos ditions.
 MT. Havey," she said. as her voice grew coldly purposeful with the ring of challenge. 'I have been told that you did not mean to let me stay here; that you did not intend to give these poor children the chance to grow straight and decent"
 She paused, because so much waa struggling indignantly for utterance that she found composure very diff cult And as she paused she heard him inquire in an ironically quiet voice: Who told ye that?"
 Never mind who told me. haven't come here to answer your questions came too these feud-cursed hills tc fight conditions for which you stand as sponsor and patron saint. I came here to try to give the children re lease from ignorance-because ig norance makes them easy tools and dupes for murder lords-like you"
 Again her tumult of spirit halted her and she heard Dawn sobbing witt grief and fright on the bed.
 Are ye through" inquired Anst Havey. His voice had the fiinty quie of cruelty repressed passion. and hii face had whitened, but he had no moved.
 No, I'm not through" she went ol with rising vehemence. 1 came herr seeking to interfere with no mans af fairs-wishing only to give your peo

CHAPTER \.

For few moments Bad Anse Havey did not speak, and Juanita dropped al most Imply into the chair he had pushed forward. Havey paced the mar. row length of the room. pausing once to gaze down at the rigid body of the dead man. At last he came and took his place squarely before her by the hearth, both hands thrust deep into his coat-pockets. A long black lock fell over his forehead and he impa- tiently shook it back
 Tn the first place" he began in his deliberate voice, we've said some things thet I doubt not ye believe to be true. but they're most all of 'em lies"
 He flung back his head and looked squareiy down at her, his eyes mar row and snapping. but with his voice 1 pitched to low cadence. We've said things that since ye're a woman. ain't got any way of answerin'. The only thing asks is thet ye harken to | what I want to say"
 GO on; I'm listening with humble attention"
 We've called me a murderer an a hirer of murderers. That's lie. I've never killed no man that didn't have his face tords me, nor one that wasn't armed. I've never hired any man killed.
 We've likened me to Milt McBriar Thet was a lie. too. Ye've said some right bitter things. an l can't answer ye. If ye was a man could" And if l were a man, what would you say to mel" she inquired.
 T reckon"-his words came with an icy coldpess-'I'd be pretty liable to tell ye to eternally go to he'll"
 And If l were a man." she promptly retorted. T'd endeavor with every ounce of manhood I had in me to see that you and the others like you did go there I'd try to see that you went the appropriate way-through the trap of the gallows."
 She saw his attitude stiffen and his face flush brick-red to the cheek-bones But after a few seconds she heard hin speak with fair counterfeit of amuse ment.
 Wall. 1t pears like we've both go to be right smart disappointed-on ac count of your bein' a woman"
 And this time 1t was she who flushed.
 T don't hardly know why I'm talk in the trouble to male any statemen to ye," Havey went on. Tt ain't hard ly worth while. Ye came up here witi your mind fixed. We've read a lot O hearsay stun in newspapers. an facti ain't hardly apt to count for much reckon afore. ye decides to hang m' yell let me have my day in court won't ye?"
 Before your own judge and you own jury?" she naively asked him That's the way you usually have you day in court, isn't it, Mir. Havey?"
 Its you that's settin' as the cour just now," he reminded her. T reck on ye can judge for yerself how mucl owns ye."
 In spite of herself she smiled.
 T rather think I can." she admit ted. Approximately. at least" q think I understand ye bette than ye do me-" he went on slowly. |" think ye're plumb honest in all thu notions ye fetched up here. despit' the fact that most of 'em are wrong We've done come with heap of none. | to teach folks what you low they,

NEW AMERICAN ABBEN
Abbot of Galley, England, Arrives
Here to Provide for Depletions
In British Clergy.
a Branch of Galley Community May
Be Established Here.
Secs Great Opportunities for Church
in England After War.
New York, Nov. 26, 1917.

New York, Nov. 26, 1917.
Dom Aelred Carlyle, the Lord Alb
bot of Galley, who has come to this
country from England on work con-
nected with great campaign to fos-
ter vocations to the depleted ranks
Of the priesthood of Great Britain, has
announced to representative of the
Catholic Press Association that he
also hopes to establish a branch of the
famous Galley Community in this
country.
There are several Americans test
ing their vocations at Galley at pres
ent," said the Abbot. 1.-TWO of them
are from New York. I have hopes
that they will be Joined by others, and
that in due time I shall be able to
send these American Benedictines
back to their own country to form a
community of contemplative monks,
living under the restored primitive
rule of St. Benedict.
Widespread Attraction to Mysticism
Here.
"The special association of Benedic-
tines with artistic and intellectual and
musical interests in the Church." the
Abbot continued, has stirred much
favorable comment. There is grow
ing attention being paid to such mat
tiers in the United States. The beau
tiful new churches built recently; the

deepening interest in correct and beau
tiful liturgical matters, are all favor
able signs of the times. Even more
favorable, and exceedingly remark
able, is the widespread attraction in
America to mysticism, both within and
without the Church.
"There are many sad and morbid
manifestations of this spirit without
the Church, am sorry to remark. All
sorts of strange cults and stranger
freaks of the spiritual life are very
plentiful among you. But even these
alterations are signs OF the growing
hunger and thirst of the human soul
for real religion, and only within the
Catholic Church may these cravings
be safely satisfied. The contemplative
orders Of the Church exist for that
very purpose, and, here as we'll as in
Europe, will their work be newly ap-
preciated. So hope that the time will
speedily arrive when Galley may CO
operate with the Church in America
in this great work.
War Vacations to the Priesthood.
"But the aspect of my visit to this
country which is of more pressing
consequence just now is the work
that Galley hopes to do in fostering
and training war vocations to the
priesthood.
'The main problem of the Church
in Great Britain in the immediate flu
ture will be how to fill the vacant
places in the ranks of the priesthood,
secular and regular, when the roll call
is made at the end of the war. Bish-
ops and provincials are looking with
anxiety to the future as to how they
may carry on their religious work.

been a universal mission, and thou
