She was so tired and overwrought that she would have agreed to almost any scheme. She had no fight left In her at all.
 As for David Burke he was tremend- ously relieved that Shirley had left Surrey. For this obviated any chance Of further meeting with Lucille.
 The wedding was to be very quiet. on account of Shirley's recent loss. This, too, suited David Burke. For he was very much afraid that the real Jim Dalton might turn up and stop the ceremony at the last moment, If he knew the time ana place of It.
 Meantime. Mrs. Arnold kept her eye on Shirley. She thought that young woman lacking in sense of grati- tude. It wasn't every rich, eligible man who would condescend to pen niless little girl.

Serbia and CathoIcism.-Catholic
life in Serbia, to which Cardinal
Bourne's visit last March gave such
an impetus, continues to make steady
progress, as shown by the following
extracts of a letter from Father Alloy
sius Wagner, the Jealous priest at Bel

Catholic graduates who are in the
state service, and also Catholic Uni
yersity Students Society. Further,
we have league of Catholic women
clerks, who have undertaken to enter
tain and instruct Catholic school chill
dren on Sunday afternoons. We also
hope to start a Society of St. Vincent
&c Paul, and sodalities of the Chill
dren of Mary for boys and young
women respectively. AS you see, we
have great plans, and we trust in Di-
vine Providence that we will be sue
cessful. One of our chief difficulties at
present is that we have no suitable
hall for our meetings, but we do our
best, until the fine weather sets IN
when we can assemble in the open.
Things will, moreover, go much bet
ter when | get a colleague to assist
me lin the schools, for as you know,
the number of Catholic children to be
instructed is now very considerable. y
