A SEVEN-YEAR OLD NUN,

Father Faber was one of the numer-
GUS and distinguished band of con-
verts who accompanied Newman into
the Church after the Oxford Move
ment. He had the soul and enthusi-
asm of true poet, and found a con-
genial atmosphere for his beloved Ia
Dor when he had become accustomed
to his new surroundings. Not that he
wrote very much poetry, but his prose
was a continuous exhibition of fancy.
He was at home among the mystics,
ancient and modern, but he never let
his mysticism carry him away from
the common sense which is needed in
every day life. The following letter
to a 7-year-old child who wished to
become nun will show how he met a
problem that might have puzzled
many veteran in spiritual guidance:
The Oratory, Landon,
Feast of st. Nicholas, 1850.
My Dearest Minna: So you are
seven years old, and you have made
up your mind to be a nun! Well,
now, what must you do? Must you
put on strange dress, and cut off all
your hair, and go into a convent, and
live hard life, No; not just yet.
By and by, with our dearest Lady's
blessing, it may be 80. But then"
as you always, always say-'rbut, then,
/ cannot wait SO many, many years"
Well, Sister Minna Of the Infant
Jesus, you need not wait; I will tell
you how to become a nun at once, di-
rectly. in the Hotel Bellevue, and with
the consent Of papa and mamma. Now,
am sure this will both please and
surprise you, and it will make v. open
her eyes, and noisy M. be quiet
How am to be made a nun Of
directly? Sister Nina! Sister Min
ma! What is it to be nun? Listen.
To be a nun is to love no one else but
Jesus, and to love Him always, and
very much; and to love everybody
else, papa, mamma, sisters, brothers.
Father Wilfrid, and all the world. be-
cause Jesus loves them so much. This
is being a nun. When Sister Minna
likes her own will, and loves her own
way, then she is not a nun. When
Sister Minna does not do what che is
nun. But when Sister Minna loves
told, or does it complainingly, then
she is not nun. When Sister Minna
says an angry word then she is not a
Jesus, oh, so much, SO very, very
much; and when she is always asking
her dear Mother in heaven to make
her love Jesus more, then she is a
nuna real. real nun. So you see
you can be . nun whenever you like.

o dear, how many questions this let
ter will make you ask?
And now goodbye, dearest Minna!
I pray the dear little Jesus IN Marys
arms to take care of you-the dear
little Jesus, who is the great, great
God, for all He is so little. 0 Minna
If the huge God could love You and
me so much that He could become
little baby (helpless as Ethel was) fol
you and me, why do we not both love
Him ten hundred thousand million
times more than we do? Get an an
swer ready for that question, Minna!
Yours most affectionately,
-. W. Fabsr

The Jew stretched out an eager hand
and, clutching the case, proceeded to
test it's contents.

you can cheat me Off" demanded the
customer. you've taken long enough
to make up your mind"
The older dealer peered at his
questioner with a curious expression
"Are you aware, honest sir" he
said in his own rendering of the
Kings English, that these things
are glass-so much colored glass?"
The face of honest sir" went livid
with rage.

The Jew pushed the jewel-case
back towards him.
There are plenty of jewellers in
London, my friend. Ask their opin.
ion. I traffic not in these fooleries.' y
With his mind in whiri, the high
wayman turned on his heel, and was
flinging himself out when the Jew
called:
"Stay! I have something for you
I had gone near forgetting" He open
ed a receptacle and drew from it a
letter. This was brought to me yes.

(The ~son of the Chosen People -
omitted to state that the request had
been accompanied by a handsome
gratuity, as refresher Of his mem
ory.) The man seemed well acquaint-
ed with your movements" he added,
with a sly smile, land with the fact
that you have occasional dealings with
me-"
Black Dick snatched at the letter
and tore it open. In delicate, yet
firm, hand the missive ran:

thank you, kind sir, for your oblig-
ing act in relieving me of case of
some bits Of green glass, which would

Myles, in the guise of worthy Metho-
dist, did fair credit to the schooling
Of Your obliged
DOROTHY PENNINGTON"
Do not attempt to imagine Master
Harford's language in his first out
burst of fury on reading the letter.
What! Foiled, duped, by slip of a
girl! And, o misery, he himself had
carried his coveted booty, an easy
prey, behind his back! That
vi1lainous O'Hara!
Then. by degrees, the humor or

Dorothy, haughtily.

There flashed across Dorothy's
memory the picture of a fop, cos
tuned in plum-celored attire, who
had uttered these very words. And
she had danced with him! Danced
with a highwayman!

"Ha!" calculated the highwayman.
|, He had torn of the leather that
covered the floor OF the coach and a
chink in the boards became visible,
just where the Judges feet had re.
posed.
Quick as thought, the masked rider
pried open the planks, and from a
cunningly devised aperture extracted
a case. Leaping from the coach, he
held UP to view its contents. a com.
plete parure of emeralds.
"Ay, these are, in truth, the gems
that graced Mistress Pennington when
she honored me with a dance!"
Great-uncle Pennington, true son OF
Adam, fastened to exculpate himself.

But it was too much for Dorothy.

tarily forsook her. She raised her
little hand and ringing soufflet, OF
no uncertain aim, descended on the
velvet mask.
The highwayman treated the affront
as . jest Sweeping the three-cornered
hat in salute to his victims, he rode
of, hearing for some minutes the
Judges doleful lamentations and
Dorothy's reproachful rejoiner.
"Alackaday, Uncle, VOW you are
more discomposed at the loss of your
scantily replenished purse than at
that Of my jewels!"
Late the following day the gentle
man Of the mask might have been
seen making his way cautiously
through certain quarter Of London.

''Ha, my fine madam" was his
thought, 80 you would measure wits
with Dick Harford!''
In sheer exuberance of spirits he
accosted an approaching pedestrian
whom he easily identified as one OF
those itinerant Methodist preachers
common to the time.
"Halloo, good man! Can I be of any
service to your"
The wayfarer looked up unsuspic.

Nothing loath, the good man hoisted
himself laboriously on to the broad
back Of his interlocutor's steed, and,
after brisk canter, was set down
where the road branched off to Dull
witch.
81 thank thee, friend! And, as even
to the elect, word Of warning comes

He held up a packet of vigorously.

The horseman raped out string
of profane remarks and, wheeling his
animal to the right-about, left the
worthy divine with hands uplifted in
pious horror, as the ungodly language
smote his scandalised ears.
Stand or I fret"
The ominous words broke like a
thunderbolt on the occupants Of the
travelling coach. The coachman. par
alysed with terror, hastily drew up,
and the black horseman, his face now
concealed by velvet mask, flung open
the carriage door.
''Your jewels, madam! Your purse,
sir!"
Great-uncle Pennington, rudeiy a.
reused from slumber, was fain to
make an outcry; but the sight Of a
pistol levelled straight at his head
made him promptly produce the de-
sired article.
Now, madam"
But Dorothy scorned the notion of
an easy surrender.

Dorothy's courage was Of the finest,
but it was not easy to maintain 1t at
the required pitch, looking into the
barrel of a highwayman's revolver.
With little sob, she slowly drew up
the pomander box that depended from
her girdle and opened it. Instead Of
the usual powder puff and other van
tiles, there lay cof1ed string of
emeralds. Reluctantly she handed
them over the coach door. The horse
man took them, glanced at them, and
broke into contemptuous laugh.
