muslin. Groaning, the girl fell for
ward on her face. The countess CON
tinued to strike pitiless blows into
which she put all her fury, her terror,
her frayed and ragged nerves.
The girl on the floor, from whimper-
ing, fell to crying hard, with great
.noiseless sobs of pain and bewilder-
ment. When ct last the blows ceased,
she lay still.
The countess prodded her with her
foot. sect up" she commanded.
But she was startled when she saw
the girls face. 1t was she who was
the fool. The welt would tell it's own
story, and the other servants would
talk. 1t was already deep purple,
and swollen. Both women were
trembling. The countess, still holding
the crop, sat down.
"Now!' she said. "You will tell me
to whom you gave certain small book
Of which you know"

"You."
"But what book7 have given moth

"Then you admitted some one to

"No one. madame. except" She
Eeatated.
"Well?"
"There came this afternoon the men
who clean madame's windows. No one

She put her hand to her cheek, and
looked furtiyely to see if her fingers
were stained with blood. The countess.

the room. So that was it, of course.
The girl was telling the Truth. She
was too stupid to lie. Then the COM
mittee of ten indeed knew every
thing-had known that she would be
away, had known of the window clean
ers, had known of the safe, and her
possession of the code.
she dismissed the girl and'pu away

She shrugged her shoulders. And
now Number Seven rose, a tall figure
OF mystery, and spoke at length in a
cultivated, softly intoned voice. The
countess, listening. felt the voice
vaguely familiar, as were the burning
eyes behind the mask.
1T is or hope, madame" he said,
that you will make 1t unneC ssafy
for the committee of ten to use those
papers. We have no quarrel with
WOMEN. We wish rather a friend than
an enemy. The committee of ten, TO
those who know its motives, has the
highest and most loyal of ideals-to
the country" !.
His voice took on a new almost a
fanatic note. They had watched the
gradual decay of the country, he said.
Its burden of taxation grew greater
each year. The masses sweated and
toiled, to carry on their backs the dead
weight of the aristocracy and the
throne. The iron hand of the chancel-
lor held everything; an old king who
would die, was dying now, and after
that boy, nominal ruler only, while
the chancellor continued his hard rule.

And now, as If that were not enough,
there was talk of an alliance with
Karnia, an alliance which, carried
through, would destroy the hope OF a
republic.
The countess stared.
'The price Of the alliance, madame,
Is the Princess Hedwig in marriage.
The committee. which knows all
things. believes that you have reason
to dislike this marriage"
Save that she clutched her cloak
more closely. the countess made no
move. But there was a soft stir among
the figures. Perhaps. after ALI the
committee as whole did not know all
things.
"To prevent this alliance, madame.
is our first aim. There are others to
follow. But"-he bent forward-"the
king will not live many days. 1t is
our hope that that marriage will not
occur before his death"
BY this time Olga Loschek knew
very well where she stood. The COM
mittee was propitiatory. She was not
in danger, save as 1t might develop.
They were, in measure, putting their
case.
king Karl has broken faith before.
He win not support Lieonia until he
has received his price. He is de-
termined on the marriage"
"a marriage of expediency," said
the countess impatiently.
The speaker for the committee
shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps he
replied. although there are those Of
us who think that In this matter Of
expediency, Karl gives more than he
receives.
ssrhe matter lies thus, madame. The
chancellor is now in Karnla. Doubt
less he win return with the agreement
signed. We shall learn that in day
or so. We do not approve of this
alliance for various reasons, and we
intend to take steps TO prevent it.
The paper itself is nothing. But
plainly, countess, we need friend in
the palace, one who is in the con-
fidence of the royal family"
And for such friendship, am to

Eyes, madame. But that is not all.
Let me tell you briefly how things
stand with us. We have. supporting

THE POPE HELPS.
THE GENEROSITY OF BENEDICT
XIV - THE PoNTIFF'S PURSE,
LIKE THE WIDOWS CRUISE, IS
NEVER FULL NOR EVER EMPTY.

Among the most remarkable traits
OF this pontifcate is to be numbered
the whole-hearted generosity of Ben
edict XIV to those in need, and this on
the most slender means. Like the
widows cruise, the Pontiff's purse is
never full nor ever empty-hence his
inexhaustible munifcence which so
strongly leans on kind Providence
But the fact is the world never hears
a 1.-THE of the Pope's goodness in this
respect We know, of course, that
during recent times the Holy Father
has given 10000 lire to the victims Of
an inundation in China, and $4,000 to
Dom De Hemptine, o. S. B., Project
Apostolic of Katanga, in the Belgian
Cogno, for the erection of a church
at EliZabethville, to which King Al
bert and Cardinal MERCER had already
subscribed. But it is from the re-
cipients we know these facts. From
Nicholas Boca, Secretary of the Rus
sian Legation to the Holy See, we
know of the Pope's contribution of
5000 TO the fund that is being raised
for the needy Russians in Rome, and
from the Unita Cattolica of Florence
that several wagons laden with pres
ents from the Pope to Italian prison
ers in Germany, chiefly packages of
preserved meat and chocolate, have
left Milan" Thus His Holiness repeats
now his kindness to the prisoners in
Austria last Christmas. The world is
already aware of the kindness shown
by aim to the English prisoners in
Turkey by sending the Apostolic Dele
gate at Constantinople to visit all the
concentration camps, hear recital of
their needs, if any, give clothes to
their time of absence from home as a
good father might be expected to do.
But of all this charity not a word
comes from the Vatican. Nor may
the Secret AlmOner of the Pope, the
Most Rev. Archbishop Sill, speak of
his disbursements to the needy of
many classes in many parts of Europe.
And thus the Pope's years pass, al
1eviating sorrow and suffering as best
he can in every part of his vast Vine
yard, aided by the Catholics of the
world, while at the same time he has
to support his great household of
ecclesiastics, sayants, military men,
and attendants and servants OF all
classes.
How the Holy Father manages it
all is mystery; for, he succeeded to
a depleted eXchequer and war time is
not propitious to the reflling of the
Papal treasury. However, as l men,
toned above, in a benefcent Provi-
dence the Fifteenth Benedict has I'M
bounded confidence, and the few
loayes and fishes go far 1t is the
sweet history of the widows cruise
over again.
