Bringing Over Mary Daley
BY Ellen McPartlin.

1t was the winter of the great biz
zard, the terrible storm that had swept
suddenly down upon the dwellers in
the wilderness bringing a tragic death
to one of them. The blizzard had
caught Dugan while he was crossing
the lake, and he had never reached
the cabin upon the farther bank. The
neighbors had done all they could for
the widow and her children, their ma
terial comforts were attended to, and
not a day passed but some one found
time to run v e. for a. cheering visit.
But the widow dropped under her sor-
row, and always her mind seemed to
turn to the past, and to her old home
in Ireland. 81

again, the little gray cabin with the
green hills behind it, and the flower

and had known her people there.
"And who's living of her folks, do
you know?' asked Mrs. Doyle sympath.
etically.,
There's a brother Patsey that's
married-one of the Coyne girls he
married. l believe now-and he's liv
ing on the old place."
Mrs. McGan leaned forward in hel
chair, a reminiscent interest kindling
in her face as she narrated:
"And Nora and Rose, both married

tell, but Rose has had sickness and
trouble and they've had to help hel

"Ay. 'twould," agreed Judy McGan
but Mrs. Dugan couldn't send her the
money to come on, and 'twould be a
long time before she could get that

earns"
"'Twould be the grand thing entire

Mrs. Doyle.

SLOVENES AND CROATS COMPAR.
ED WITH SERBS BY NON
CATHOLIC.
CATHOLIC.
(By n. c. w. C. News Service.)

A striking tribute to the superior
mentality of a Catholic people over
that of a non-Catholic people, is given
in one Of the London dailies by a non
Catholic writer who is visiting Jugo-
Slavia.
The writer compares the Serbs with
the Southern Slavs, to the evident
advantage of the latter. Referring to
Slovenia and Croatia, which form two
of the most important sections of Jugo-
Slavia, the writer finds that the people,
though Slavs, are in many ways diff
ferent from the Serbs, The Slovenes
and Croats use the Latin characters in
writing, whereas the Serbs use the
Russian characters. And while the
greater part of the Serbs are members
of the Orthodox Church, the Slovenes
and Croats are almost entirely Roman
Catholics, and among their ~peasantry
religion has a much greater signifi-
canoe than it has among the Orthodox
Serbs. The writer goes on to say:
"One cannot possibly travel and mix
with the people as / have done without
being struck by the fact that the civil
ization and culture of the Slovenes
and Croats, particularly of the former,

NEW WORDS ON AN OLD SUBJECT,

This letter was written by Rev. Mo-
rand Gaeng,. O. F. NJ, of T~singchowfu,
E. Shantung, and shows once more the
lack of catechists in our missions:
81 am quite alive to the truth that
the chief factor of converting souls is
Gods grace. But it is not the sole
factor: in addition to the missionary's
work catechists are equally necessary,
and such cost money.
"My first visit of investigation in
this section made me really heart-sick
and almost downcast. But | hope even
against hope that good friends will
help me in my arduous task.
"At present l have only one cate
chist at my disposal, while the Prot
estants in the same area have o
than thirty c%atechists, two normal and
thirty-two elementary schools. What
can I do to compete with SUCH odds?"

FIGURES THAT DO NOT LIE.

One must know something of the liv-
ing conditions of a country in order to
comprehend what constitutes there
poverty or a%ffluence.
Right Rev. Louis de Cooman, P. F.
NJ, Bishop of Plat Diem, Tonkin,
gives a few figures quoted from a Gov
eminent official showing what the civ
ing wage for a European is in Tonkin.
The official states that $1,000 a year
is the very smallest income on which
any but a native can exist in the coun-
try with the present high prices. That
being so, how about the missionaries?
81 Here again we have figures, The
average amount received from all
sources is about $500. How, then, do
European priests exist in Tonkin
on a fourth of what is needful for their
countrymen? The answer is: by deny
ing themselves to the last extremity;
by leading lives that would be found
utterly impossible to all but mission.
aries; by never complaining: Speaks
the true spirit of the apostle in Mgr,
de Comman's words:
"But poverty is one of the factors OF
success in the apostolic life. 1t is true
that a bishop grieves to see his priests
living under conditions that injure the
health, and he would like to do all in
his power to mitigate their suffering;
nevertheless neither he nor his priests
dwell overmuch on their physical dis
comforts which they fully expected
when choosing the life of the mission.
airy.
what they do regret, what causes
them deep pain is to be unable to sus'
tain works which they know to be in
%dispensable. Our vicariate, less than
twenty years old, has not sufficient
revenue to support it's seminary, a vital
need of every mission centre.
However, we have no words worthy
to express our gratitude to the Catho'
lies of the United States who have sus'
tanned US so nobly during this dark
period. We still rely on them n fee
sure they will not fail u.s."

ONE GIRLS SECRET.

Mother, may l go visiting this
afternoon" said little Agnes Mayhem.
Eyes, you may. You may go to see
Ella OF to see Louisa whichever you
like, 4-'

mes, quickly. .-..
why" asked Aunt Esther, who was
sewing by the window. Hasn't Ella
a great many dolls and beautiful toys?
And then there is the pony cart"
II know" said Agnes, "but it doesn't
matter how many nice things she has,
just as we begin to play she begins
to wish she had something different.
But when l play with Louie, if we
want anything that we haven't got,
she can generally think of something
else which will do as we'll; or else
she says that WI can do without it
very nicely. She's lots eheerfuller
about doing things than Ella is, and
it's much more fun to play with her."
Aunt Esther looked across at Agnes
and at her mother and smiled.
"The same old truth" she said. ITS
the spirit within that makes the world
without fair or dark"
"Wha is spirit, mother?" asked
Agnes, presently. 1
Her mother thought a minute.
We'll dear, it's the way we think
in our hearts. If we have happy
thankful thoughts, they give us a con
tented spirit, and that makes the
world bright for US. Nothing else
can"
Agnes nodded her head very WISE
ly.z
yes, mother, I believe that's just
the truth. Louie's got a contented
spirit, and she enjoys it a great. deal
more than Ella does all her dolls and
her pony cart and everything. Be-
sides, 1t makes her just lovely COM
pany for US other girls to play WITH"

showing us the way, and a lot coming

but I spoke up and told him the whole

nobody said anything. Then a little
thin fellah that looked Irish himself
went running round through the crowd
saying something to everyone, and he
came back to me with a hat full of
silver.
"'Take it, seq he, and he made a
talk of fine words, a grand spache it

the most O. people went on, and the
man in the blue coat showed us the
way himself, talking kindly all the
while. Then at last we got our tickets
and started on Jul way West"

dazed understanding coming his face.
"'Tis. O'Rourke's fddle-there's
something wrong with him."
Cluehy raj through the woods, fol
lowing the faint guidance of the music.
And as he ran long dormant faculties
came into play, for speed was neces-
sary, and speed through a tangled
wilderness, needed a quick eye for i'm
pediments and a quick response of
muscles to overcome them. The old
greensward games of his younger days
had given good training, Fortunately
it was a moonlight night and fortunate
~, too, the snow was sufficiently crust

Louder and louder grew the sound

the music rose; the sudden changes
in the tunes showed that O'Rourke's
fingers were giving out. 1t was the

blood leaped. with the wild Tilt of the

up a short thick stick that his now
active mind recognized as necessary:
for the. music came from a height
and that meant just one thing:
O'Rourke up a tree and a circle of
wolves beneath.
1t may be that the music drowned
the sound of Cluehy plungingl through
the woods; or it may be that the
wolves were too intent upon their prey
to be cautious. O'Rourke described
what followed: .
"Sure I thought I was done for, with

the glitter of steel, broke for cover
But three lay still upon the snow.
