personifcation of the great heart of
womankind.
A widow these many years, and
without children upon whom to lavish
her love, Mrs. Angel could no more
confine within her heart all the ten
derness and charity of her exception
al nature than could the boundless sea
prison itself within cup. Those who
come into the radiant circle Of her
graciousness are the richer for her
friendship, the better for even know
ing her, even having her occasional
handclasp, her glorious smile, her
God bless you"
You may be one of the altar boys
at st. Xavier's, or a bootblack, or a
neophyte Of the Young Ladies' Sodal-
ity, and she will meet you with a
playful pinch of the cheek, or an arm
around your shoulder and she will
call you "dear." You may be the
policeman on the beat, the ding-dong
scissors grinder, the ash collector,
even a book-agent, and she nominates
you a dear. You may be her father
confessor, you may be even the Bish-
op himself; whatever you are you are
dear" to Mrs. Angel. Moreover, you
like it. Man does not live, or woman,
who does not instantly and instinc-
lively recognize the true mother heart.
To this beautiful woman all her world
is dear. How dear to all her world
is Mrs. Angel.
OF course, Bill could not divine all
this, and yet, in the moment of his
pause at the window, he vaguely real
lied that he was "in wrong" But
the die was cast. Here, he was and
would have to go on with it, He
couldn't be yellow gutter at the
very start of his career. He simply
had to carry it through in profession
al style, come what would.
With right hand in readiness at hip
pocket, Bill took three stealthy steps
forward before the creaking of a board
brought Mrs. Angel to her feet with a
grasp of surprise.
With rare presence of mind, Bill
hoarsely whispered:
Put up your hands!"
+ And Mrs. Angel, with equal, or SUI
perior presence of mind, did put up
one hand Ito press a wall button that
flooded the room with light.
They eyed each other for fieeting
moment and if it be true that clear
conscience gives courage, can there
be any doubt as to which of them was
in greater fear?
Contrary to tradition, there was no
feminine scream. no rush on the part
of tho intruder. Bill was not an espe-
cially sensitive being, but he certain
ly had not counted on meeting such
nice faced lady, prayer beads in
her hand, standing alongside a statue
of Gods Mother. He did not so much
