MOTHER OF GOD.

If the Church is ever pleading for
her children, so is Mary; and the earli-
est pictorial representative of her is
the "Orante" of the Catacombs, who
stands with outstretched arms, in
endless intercession, among tombs
still red with the martyrs blood. If
the sword" passed through her heart,
the Church, too, has to suffer. If it
was hidden life that Our Lord lived
with His Mother for thirty years, it
is a sacramento life that He leads
with His Church. If Mary >could be
suspected, can not the Church be re-
viled? The Church is teacher, and
so is Mary: Wisdom doth sit with
children round her knees"

placed the intercepted missive before
me.

Now she was trying to think things
out harder than ever She spelled her
way laboriously a second time through

her lips, threw her apron over her

but stony face, and fell to studying
Marvel.
My friend had SO placed himself
that he had as complete a view from
the window of the room Of the street
and the yard as was possible. His
senses were on the alert, to ward on
suspicion on the part of the woman,
to be afforded the privilege of remain
ing where he was until the men he
expected should arrive. Marvel ex-
perienced no uneasiness as to Derby
Dan sending his wife a warning, for
he had given the police explicit in,
struction respecting their prisoner.
The little child had roved about the
room. She was quite friendly with
Marvel. She hung about his knee and
he paid her some attention. She
played with the buttons of his coat
and climbed up on the rounds Of the
chair he sat in. My friend expert
enced some unrest and considerable
chagrin as he saw the little one tod
ding across the room to her mother,
Growing triumphantly. In n hand
the child had Marvel's handkerchief,
in the other the envelope that had
contained the letter he had just de-
livered to its mother. The mother
had a keen eye. Marvel dared not
manifest any particular interest in the
recovering of the envelope. He sim
ply smiled, tracing the incipient pick,
pocket in this progeny Of crime as the
mother snatched the envelope from
the hand of her child.
Nance regarded the envelope with
a shrewd eye. nliterate though she
might be, she was shrewd enough to
reason out the situation. Her eyes
were lifted to Marvel. She held the
envelope extended, a direct challenge

Derby Dan Influenced her to act as a

finally and busted herself washing out
a tattered red neck scarf. Then she
went out into the yard and hung 1t
across a bit of clothes line.

was a notification that some one was
in the house-a stranger. Still, the
woman acted natural, although expect

Victory Of Haig and
Byng Is Greatest In
Its Moral Aspects

II IS too early as yet to appreciate tho
fun Importance Of General Haigs sweep
ing victory on the Western front
It Is safe to say, however that the
triumph around Cambria represents the
greatest single gain to the Allied cause
this year
In point Of territory regained Tire RE-
suits have been more considerable than
in amy drive previously carried ont by
the British commander this year.
But the wrestling from tbe Hla of
few score or even a fev hundrsa square
miles of French soa IS insignificant com-
pared to the moral aspects Of The v.c-
tory
Coming at a time when the collapse
Of Russia and the catastrophe invasion
of Italy we're reyiving the weI-nigh eN-
tinet myth Of German invncbiity, TIE
British smash has chased away the
clouds Of gloom gathering around the
entente cause.
It has given a positive answer 10 the
much-discussed question as TO whether
the western deadlock can ever he broken
by direct attack.
It lrns shown that the boasted ''impreg-
nable7 Hindenbwg line, and others Ike
it, can be taken.
Moreover it has given the world con-
vincing demonstration Of the military
might and resources Of Great Britain as
opposed to those Of her enemies.
At time when British troops i'm great
numbers are being rushed TO Italy to re-
inforce the hard-pressed defenders Of
Venice, she has been able not only to
continue her offensive operations in Flan-
ders. but to strike and defeat the foe at
the strongest point of his line.
Significant also is the apparent break
down Of the German scouting service.
All evidences point to the fact that
the enemy was absolutely without suspi-
cion Of the British intentions until the
tanks were fairly upon him.
Only FIVE hostile aeroplanes, il was
stated. were seen on the entire 40-mile
front over which the attack was carried
out
This blindness of the German army
which made possible what military lead
ers had declared impossible in modern
warfare, surprise attack on grand
scale, augurs well for the Allies
What can be done once can he done
again.
With a German army unable 70 ascer-
tain in advance the points at which at
tacks are to be launched, the superior
man power Of the Entente will make lis
full value felt
For the Germans have not the men 20
mass troops along their entire line. They
can bolster up points of that line under
immediate threat, but they cannot main
tain an adequate force over the entire
front
But the greatest cause for optimism
in connection with the recent operations
lies in the superior strategy shown by
Allied leaders.
The plan Of attack showed originality
and daring which has been TOO often lack
ing on the part Of those charged with
the conduct of the war for democracy.
