A MESSAGE FROM MABEL

She sat like one in q mesmeric
spell beneath the unfolding Of a
new science, a new viewpoint.
Her spirit expanded and absorbed
the new ideas like a sponge. She
went home with clarifying
thoughts on individual rights and
privileges. She had received her
message-but not In the way Fos-
ter Holt had intended!
Breakfast was always a hearty
meal for Mabel, but tho next even

Mabel unconsciously copied her

You have friends and opportuni-

fathers and smiled archly into his
bewildered face.

troubled spirit, and little Antonio
wont to sleep in her arms.
But at length from out the dim
ness Of the great sanctuary one
object began to stand out clearer
and clearer as her eyes grew &C
customed to the shadows. 1t was
q window close to tho chancel
that q ray Of sunshine had found
and as 1t travelled It brought out
in the rich colors of a great
painting the figures Of tho Blessed
Virgin and the Holy Child.
As the window frightened in
the sunlight, Maria's eyes became
fixed on 1t as II fascinated. Then
slowly she rose from her knees
and moved nearer and nearer to
the wonderful picture. When at
last she reached 1t she sank on
her knees and holding out the
sleeping child in her arms she
prayed softly.
Ave Maria! Ave Maria! Help

Did she imagine 1t, or did the
form Of the Blessed One bend
over her. consolingly? And did
the little hands of the Holy Child
stretch out in bensdiction over
her own little one?
Maria was cold and clad in rags
and had eaten little for days 90

might have the more. Just what
happended, she did not know. but
suddenly she fet sure that her
prayer for help would be answer

along. It was true that she had

DRIFTING AWAY.
All this time Mr.. Foster Holt
had been drifting further and
further away from the industrial
habits Of his former years. He
had gone from one business posi-
tion to another. always complain
ing that the work was beneath
him. or he was misunderstood. or
underpaid; and lately he had not
been working at all.
More and more he had been
looking at his daughter for sup
port; and Mabel, out Of affection
and sympathy, and blinded not q
little by her charming fathers
eloquence and excuses. carried
her burdens and made her sac
rifices without resentment or COM
plant.
The next morning at breakfast
Mr.. Foster Holt reminded his
daughter again Of the great op-
portunity awaiting her. why.

caught Mabel's eve and added
sheepishly:

I'll pay you back the with in

But Mabel did not go to bed
early that evening. Instead she
looked over the program her
father had given her and decided
to 60 to the lecture hall. How

caption Of the lecture scheduled
for that night.
Mabel smiled dryly. That's
what Dad thinks I need-person-

all work and no play Is as bad
for Jill as 1t is for Jack!"
So Mabel went willingly and
hopefully to get her message. And
perhaps the psychological moment
had come-who knows?-for Mabel
Holt to hear a few plain truths
about the complex business Of liv-
ing.
