Mary Grace Ashton

(13v JOHN ,.:OGHLAN, in the "Irish Rosary. The religious doubts of early youth off er interesting material to the novelist, but it is material whose traatment is beset with peculiar dangers and difficulties. Of these, the principal danger is the risk of descent into sentimental moralising, and the principal difficulty is that of presenting a spiritual, adolescent turmoil in terms that are intelligible to readers who may never have experienced such emotions; terms, moreover, that must quicken and sustain sympathy in the average Particularly is this Catholic reader. the case where the religious impulse clashes so sharply with material demands as to call for sacrifices which to a less spiritually distraught mind, may seem unnecessary or even contrary to material needs. It is, therefore, a matter for congratulation to Miss Mary Grace Ashton that she should have been able to bring her characters through many such ordeals without at any time exposing them to the possibility of impatient misunderstanding. Her wor's is, in fact, marked by unusual literary brilliance, psychological depth and genuine creative ability.

is justified by her determined refusal to be engulfed in a vicious circle of Jewish materialism and greed. As a first novel, "Race" has outstanding qualities, and the religious note in the book is neither forced nor controversial, but descriptive; the reader feels and sees religion as a force in the lives of these essentially modern young people. How Anne's and Ivan's happiness is attained in the end, and how her father and mother, her friends each and all of them, find interest and contentment, make a book of unusual interest and distinction, and one very much worth reading.

Seventeen brothers i.nd sisters were professed. and te: were received, while several more have given in their names for reception. Rev. Dr. Sullivan, who is, fortunately, not giving up the chaplaincy on leaving the Palace, will, it is hoped, direct the Fraternity for many a long day. .

Fremantle C.Y.M.S. The committee of the Fremantle branch of the C.X.M.S. were very disappointed at the poor attendance of Members at the quarterly Communion held in St. Patrick's Church at the a.m. Mass on Sunday. January 29, only 30 members being present.

Last Saturday St. Patrick's Old Boys were, successful in defeating the Tuatt Hill Club by an innings and 91 runs. Twat Hill batted first, and were dismissed for 45 runs. St. Patrick's then batted, and with most of the batsmen showing form, the respectable total of 231 was on the board when the last wicket fell. Tuart Hill, batting again improved on their first inning's score. and were finally disposed of for 95 runs. Ben Cody bowled very well to secure 9 for 47, and received great support from B. M. Regan (4 for 17) . Skipper Mick Smith led the way with the bat with a hard hitting innings of 39.

No matter what hour we met them, or where, they always seemed to be at our disposal. It is only after the whole thing was over that one had time to reflect and wonder at the way those priests were always on deck. They said it was the Catholic priesthood, yes, and perhaps a little more. No visiting priest left Broken Hill without a wonderful admiration for those priests of the West. We all left with the hope that we might meet again. The first of these two events was a drive out to what is locally called 1Red Hill." I understand it gets this name from the colour of the wild flowers. Arrangements were made to take some of the visitors to inspect one of the many great mines which have made the Silver City world famous I had heard so much about the wild flowers that I wanted to see them and ask if such was possible. Without a moment's hesitation, a priest said he would get a party together. This was soon accomplished, and we set off. What we saw was worth travelling thousands of miles to see. The hills were covered with wild hop, not only in patches, but hill upon hill was covered with it. Though the red predominated that was not all. Here a gully was thick with yellow and white, hert again were large patches of a beautiful blue flower which looked like stock What landscape gardener ever produced anything so beautiful? It was wonderful in its beauty. We had an appreciative company, everyone of whom could see the beauty and revel in it. Ten miles out it was, there was not a house or a living thing to be seen, when on a sudden rise and then a dip there was thrown before us the whole beautiful panorama. How proud I felt of my country. How grand God had made it, but how little it is appreciated, Have we' not got Sturt's account recorded against this very land—"The worst country in the world." Ah, well, we saw it that day and we admired it, and we praised God for it, and under God I thank the priest who took me out and let me see it. What a wonderful thought that thousands of years ago God made all that beauty and all those wonderful flowers that we might one day look on them: how good God is Yes, and vet there are wicked and dull men who say there is no God. Who could have looked on that beautiful seen • as it stretched out in the unclulatinc hills away out to the horizon with flowers in their millions of all sh.i of colours and not admire the wo: of God.

The Church and Science ARCHBISHOP DUHIG'S REPLY TO PROFESSOR OSBORNE. When the period of excessive fervour for language studies, the earlier Renaissance, had passed away, the claims of the sciences as the ultimate stage and most important part of general education were fully recognised and adequately provided for in time, in curriculum, and in teachig provision. Anyone who examines, for instance. the studies of the Jesuit colleges in France—they were over 100 in number and many of them had over 2.000 students—in the years preceding their violent suppression in 1762, will have to admit the dominant position of the sci ences, at that time.

ARCHBISHOP DUHIG. Referring to statements made at the Australian Education Conference held in Sydney recently by Professor Osborne, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the Melbourne Univpersity, on the teaching of science in the schools. His Grace Archbishop Duhig said that Professor Ocborne is very much in error when he lays the neglect of the teaching of the sciences at the door of the ecclseiastics at times when the Church had largely the education of the people The vast majority of in its hands. the most eminent men in science may There is be claimed by the Church. no real conflict between science and revealed religion, and the idea that the Church is opposed to science can only be born of prejudice or ignorance. Reading Professor Osborne's address, one would be led to suppose, if he did not know better, that science had been entirely neglected in the schools until the rise of the modern professors of which Mr. Osborne may be taken as a sample. The fact is, that from the very foundation of the great European universities in the 13th. century, the sciences, pure and applied ,mathematical and physical, have not only been an essential portion of the curriculum of the liberal arts, but have been the major portion of this traditional course of education.

A Civic Training • The aim of general or secondary education in the sciences is not discovery. The well-educated citizen in all probability will never have to "discover" anything in science or to apply his own courses of study in any scientific way. That is the function of the research worker in the great laboratory, especially trained for such functions. For the ordinary student, the aim .of edu. cation in science is really civic rather than personal, inasmuch as it enables him to appreciate the civic value of scientific progress, the need of promoting it, and the duty of paying for it The function of the teacher in a general educative course of science is to demonstrate principles, indicate applications. guide students in obtaining a grasp of what has been achieved, and direct them in the process of verification of knowledge previously presented and explained. A s to Professor Osborne's strictures on the modern teaching of literature. there is a good deal in what he says. No doubt many young students de. yelop a distaste for the study of literature because their first acquaintance with the classics has been in preparaSome of the tion for examinations. best classical scholars in the past have deevhsped from schools in which exIt aminations were not compulsory. would be difficult to replace e.xaminations, but as long as they remain, a big percentage of the students of literature in our schools and colleges will study it from necessity rather thas from delight.

NEW PASSENGER CARRIAGES ON THE ITALIAN STATE RAILWAYS. In spite-of the falling off in passenger traffic due to economic depression, the Italian State Railways are not allowing their rolling stock to become The new metal carriages obsolete placed on the lines in 1926 are already being replaced by new carriages with wooden facings and a lateral corridor. Each of these carriages have four doors, two at each end. Cooks have received advice that the new carriages will be over 222ft. long, and will weigh 43 tons each. In spite of their technical improvements, they are practically the same in appearance, both externally and internally, as the carriages now in use with the only difference that a extra compartment is added to them They are 4in. higher than those now in use, but their increased width is taken up by a wider lateral corridor. There is no doubt that the Italian Railwas have reached a high standard as r, gards their rolling stock, which is no. below that of all the other European railways, and what is more important no effort is spared to keep this standard at the same high level. A recent improvement in international service trains consists in providing all lavatories with liauid soap and small cot ton towels, which are kept in a bos from which they are taken by passers gers and after use dropped in a special basket

To Combat Indecent Literature

-

The full text of the resolution which t he annual general meeting of the Bishops of the United States, held at the Catholic University of America, Washington, adopted in condemnation of indecent literature is as follows. "Much has been said and written on the causes of the present depression. Undoubtedly those causes are in the main economic. but it would be blindness not to recognise the looseness and laxity of morals which both hastened the economoc chaos of the world and now plays its part in extending laxity in public morals, loss of public decency; and consequently a lowering of the standards of citizenship. "One of the most potent factors this debasing of the individual and the public conscience is the increasing flood of immoral and unmoral books. periodicals, pamphlets, which are widely advertised throughout the country. Great metropolitan dailies, literary journals, carry laudatory advertisements of books that have always been Publishers repeatk nown as obscene edly issue new books outdoing the old Public opinion' has ones in obscenity influenced the ccoe- ts of the nation to such an extent that it is now almost impossible to have the most obscene of books debarred from the customs or from the mails "Literature ha- ;. uplifting, human mission.

greatest of the arts. A practical guide to such literature may be found in tht lists of the Cardinal Hayes Literature Committee, published in our Catho! Press. -It is further undeniable that many writers, beggared of talent and of true literary gifts, are playing up the sexual, the sensational and the superficial. and that these books are exploited by many reviewers as literary productions. They speak of the flesh rather than of the mind. "We call upon our own Catholic people young and old, to maintain valianti), the standards of worthy, clean literature. We ask them to make it part of that crusade of Catholic Action, of which the Holy Father speaks.

PERTH. SATUI:D.A.Y. FEBRUARY 11, 1933.

The Irish Free State Elections The results of the Iris!, elections are greatly disappointing to those wise men in this ccuniry who imagine they could govern Ireland immensely better than the natives of the soil—the men and women whose love for their island home is just as deeply seated in their souls as—well say love of England or love of Australia is in the breasts of Englishmen or Australians. There was tremendous interest awakened in a section of the British Press, and in the Press of this country, whose editorials take their colouring from the editorials of the big English dailies, when the stage was set fox the political contest to be enacted at the Irish elections. The personal qualities of the two principal ones concerned in the struggle for control of the Irish Executive were canvassed. From every angle the successful competitor's character and personality was examined and his principles subjected to the severest analysis. De Valera was not a persona grata to the big editors of the Conservative press, and the only real why was that he was opposed to the Treaty made by the British Government of the day, which was in essence that perfect political showman and conjurer, David Lloyd George, with Ireland's representatives under There was no choice left to them but to sign, which duress. thy did in the same way that the harassed representatives of Germany did at the making of the Treaty of Versailles. UnanFaith and trust was pushed imity was wanting in both cases. with a threat of violence into the background, with the result that there have been continued disagreements, controversy, and effort to have altered a compact that lacked the essentials of legality—mutual consent. There is no real enmity between Ireland and England. The In 11 years of Mr. Cosgrave's administration have shown that. every war that England has been engaged in Irish valour has counted very much on the side of England's victories. There not in English history an authenticated record of 'treason on the Irish side, judged by the principles of sound logic. It is not treason to resist oppression and injustice. Life and liberty are the inheritance of men and nations, and the whole wearying strife between Ireland and England has been on the Irish side a spiritual one—a desire to live her own life and to shape her own destiny Just free from the checking interference of British politicians. as we Australians desire to "gang our amn gait" unhampered and It is not treason to desire national comunmolested by them. fort and happiness by a people, and after all that is what the present leader of the Irish Free State wants. He has declared there is no enmity between his Government and the British Government. * The whole question is at present an economic one, and there should he enough genius and justice in the McDonald Government to bring about a friendly understanding with Mr. De Valera. Setting aside paltry personal prejudices and stupid political bias, British pressmen might devote themselves with much profit to the task of cementing the bonds of friendship between both peoples, instead of widening the breach between them by sordid and malicious propaganda. • * The barque of Empire is at present in a very choppy sea, and on every side Britain has envious competitors. It is not good policy to foment national hatreds and to make trouble where it is essentially profitable to avoid it. And a section of the press of England and this country seem over-ready to gape at every Irish gnat and make as much noise in swallowing it as though it were a camel. We had an instance of that in the stupid cricket controversy between the M.C.C. and the Board of Control in this country. The loud-speaking Londo'n press seemed at one time about to call up the War Office in connection with the affair. That sort of spirit does a lot of harm, and much harm has been done in political affairs between the two peoples of Ireland and England by unreasonable one-eyed writers with a superiority complex. • • • A politician in Victoria, the other day, commenting on the results of the Irish elections, broadcasted a statement that "the real danger of a win for De Valera is the strong posstbilitv of Communism creeping in." That politician asserted something that is both stupid and misleading. Most of the English newspapers said the same thing. The Conservative press in this country, from lack of knowledge of the domestic state of the country, repeated it. The politician in Victoria did not know that Communist/1 in Ireland is irstricted to a little and unimportant clique of the Muscovite fraternity, who have no influence in Ireland. Ireland has already declared against this cult of mischief and it is well known that Mr. De Valera's policy is to maintain the standards of Irish culture and that spiritual life of the nation which has been its mainstay in its big warfare for the preservation of its ideals. Communism is rooting itself in Fngland; it cannot do so in Ireland. Now that the people of Ireland have de-dared their choice of leadership, and have returned Mr. De Valera's Government to power, we may take it that the majority of the Irish people are satisfied with Mr. De Valera's Dolicv, and are prepared to trust him. It is their business—and they are very well competent to decide their own destiny. In thi,, try we have our own problems to solve, and it is only re: onli,le for us to mind our own business. The Irish people we can safely leave to look after their own affairs—and so ‘N%-e ‘vish them the best of good luck, and leave the Trish elections at that.

St. Theresa's Primary School reopened on Monday last, and there was a good attendance of both old and new scholars. The Secondary School will resume on Tuesday next. The monthly general Communion of the Children of Mary Sodality will take /lases at the 7 o'clock Mass on next Sunday morning. Mrs. F. F. Anderson. of Broadway enrlef-svent an oneration in the Treeillian Nnenitel on Tneeday last, and we are pleased to report, is now progressing favourably.

The Esperance Summer School T wenty children from the Mallee arrived at Esperance on January 7. Three of them had been before, but of the rest a number had not learned to make the Sign of the Cross. The short time available, therefore, seemed to be against the doing of anything big, but it is wonderful what has been done. There is an air of earnestness about the "Bushies" that is not always found in children, who have more advantages in the way of receiving religious instructions. These lacked that selfconsciousness which so often checks the instinct in children to express themselves [naturally. This graceful simplicity made the work of instructing both easy and interesting, and the ready response of the little ones was one of the -many compensations which the Sisters received while labouring in this particular corner of the Vineyard. The instruction periods were weft-0med by the children as heartily as the other portions of the daily programme. and, if one may gauge their fervour by the manner in which they sang their hymns and recited their prayers, great spiritual progress was made.

F'ather Cunningham took the keen est interest in the school, and every evening in the Convent Chapel his explanation of each decade of the Rosary made an impression on all who had the opportunity of being present. The intelligent answers given by the chil dren were convincing evidence that they had imbibed the teaching of C few weeks of instruction. The congregation as well as the children benefited on Wednesday morning when Rev. Mr. Cyril Stinson explained the Mass while Father Cunningham celebrated. The recreation section of the daily routine was excellently provided for by Father Cunningham, and the chil (-ken enjoyed many delightful outinga. Esperance presents a wide scope for the exploring-loving youth, and the many beaches and rugged heights provided ample means for expending their _ energy. A novel experience for all was the trip on the "Kytra." The children were looking forward to this as the treat of their lives, The boat

A letter from Rev. T. Megan, S.V.D., of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, Iowa, now at Hot-tan, China, to the American headquarters of the Society of the Divine Word has just been received, giving the details of the martyrdom of Rev. Paul Lee, a native Chinese priest, who was slain by the Communists. For months the "Reds" had been insurrounding territory vading the Tchang Kia Huee, in the district of Ichang, Hupeh, making it impossible for the priests in the nearby mission to bring the Sacraments to the Christians there. Finally, word was received that the Communists had retreated, and it seemed comparatively safe for a priest Alto travel to Tchang Kia Huee. though 67 years of age, Father Lee immediately volunteered to make the perilous journey, and received permission to start at once from his superior, Right Rev. Mgr. Gubbels. Father Lee arrived at the village of Tchang Kia Huee on the morning of August 14, and began to assemble the They were jubilant Christians there. at the prospect of hearing Mass and receiving the Sacraments for the feast of the Assumption, a feast particularly Howdear to all Christian Chinese. ever, their joy was soon to be dispelled for, secretly and before dawn on the 15th., while Father Lee was heario confessions a detachment of Commun ist cavalry surrounded the church and laid violent hands on the pious priest.

Of Cromwell's Breed MEMORIES OF THE PURITANS I N AMERICA. There are no darker pages in the annals of any nation than those in Irish history, which record the reign of the Puritan in Ireland. It was a period of rapine, -murder, and bloodshed, accentuated by blasphemous hypocrisy Eternity would be too short to wipe The following exout its infamies. tract, taken from the "Bulletin of the Central Bureau of the central Verein,indicates that the Puritans of New England were just as intolerant in exile as their breed in England and Ireland, only that in the different atmosphere of the new world there was little encouragement to carry on the oppressive and depressing policy of the fanatical leaders in those two countries. When William Penn and his associates set out from England to establish a settlement in America free from Puritan interference, a communication addressed by Colton Mather, that prototype of puritanical fanaticism, to another of its distinguished disciples , reveals what love ye Puritans bore their dissident countryman, seeking, as the Puritans had done before them, a refuge in the New World: " September Ye 15, 1682. "To Ye aged and beloved Mr. John Higginson: There is now at sea a ship called the 'Welcome,' which has on board a hundred or more of the heretics or malignants called Quakers, with W.

"The general court has accordingly given secret orders to Master Malachi Huseott of the brig 'Purpoise' to waylay the said 'Welcome' slyly, as near the Cap of Cod as may be, and make captive the sain Penn and his ungodly crew, so that the Lord may be glorified and not mocked on the soil of the new country with the heathen worship of these people. Much spoil can be made by selling the whole lot to Barbadoes, where slaves fetch good prices in rum and sugar, and we shall not only do the Lord great service by punishing the wicked, 'but we shall make great good for his minister and people. Master Huseott feels hopeful and I will set down the news when the ship comes back. "Yours in ye bowels of Christ. "Cotton Mather.

WORDS OF WISDOM. The worst tyrant is an evil habit, as a good habit is the noblest and most generous of masters. Think only of God s honour and your own salvation: and even if it cost you your life, never hesitate to speak the truth, fearing neither man nor devil. In certain casts it is better to be silent than to speak; when the truth avenges itself sufficiently she does not need to be defended. True confidence does not consist in the sentiment, but in the will. Do you wish to trust in God? Then have confidence. He who shall courageously present himself to drink Our Saviour's chalice will find that a certain strength will never fail 'him in persecution. Those who trust in God are shielded by the guardianship of God, and there is nothing they can fear, save this one thing—lest they offend Him. It belongs to the fervent Christian to suffer like Our Lord Jesus Christ. and • to carry His Cross, never laying it down whatever happens, and never showing any tears in suffering. I.t is a great imperfection to complain of little evils when so many of the poor in the world endure such great misery and have no one to whom they may even tell their necessities. No one should trust himself to much. even though he have attained to great union with God, for he be far removed from all creatures. for there is no place so remote, so solitary, so retired that the devil may not enter. God is so faithful to His servants that He will never permit to be deceived by the devil one who desires please Him and to devote his life to to His honour and glory. "THEN THOU BRINGEST THY GIFT. Thomas of Kempis "tells the following story: A youth who attended was unable to see the Host—try Mass as he might Because he ascribed this to weak eyes and to distance from the altar, he got as near as possible. Still he could not see the Sacred Host. This went on for some time, until at length, disquieted he told his confessor about it. The confessor questioned him carefully. and finally found out that the Young man companion and bore hatred towards a would not forgive him That cleared up matters. "I see." he said, "you bear a grudge against someone, and this is the reawhy 8" the Your sight.

THE RECORD. pray well is to live well, and to live well is to have the Lord always with one. The priest emphasises his wish with the meaningful gesture of open hands and extended arms, showing thereby that his good wishes, which are at once prayers, are for all; indicating also the abundance of grace which he prays may descend on all. The people answer through the server: "And with thy spirit." May our greeting not merely he returned through the server, but come simultaneously from our hearts. By this exchange of prayeOul good wishes there is renewed the union of priests and people in common sacrifice, which makes the Mass so appealing to the true Christian heart. THOMAS a KEMPIS ON SIMPLICITY. "That man has great tranquillity heart who neither cares for praises nor dispraises. He will easily be content, and in peace. whose conscience is clean. Thou art not more holy if thou art praised, nor anything the worse if thou are dispraised. What thou art, that thou art: nor canst thou be said to he greater than God sees thee to be If thou considerest well what thou art within thyself, thou will not care what men say of thee." BE PROUD! BE STRONG! To the 15,000 men assembled to do honour to St. Therese at the opening of the Crypt of her Basilica at Lisieux. the Bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux rave the following message "on the part of St. Therese":— "Be proud that you are Catholics that you belong by Baptism to the race of the best among men: to the race which has produced among so many other saints `The Flower of Lisieux!' "Be strong like the little Carmelite! That is to say, realise your faith in your lives—your individual lives. your family life, your social life. "Be strong! Remember that true strength consists in knowing how to give up one's own will to accomplish fully the Will of God! "You are the Pioneers of the Theresian Congress May St. Therese testify her joy at your presence here he bestowing on You and your homes and families some of her choicese roses" TO A CROSSBEARER.

Foot Comfort Guaranteed

POINTERS BY FATHER JOSEPH DEGEN. That only profit-making activities are worth while and desirable is the first article of the materialistic creed, which has turned the world topsy-turvev The more worried a person is the more capable is he of being frightened. Table excess produces -indigestion rather than joviality. Moral inconsistence is not always hypocrisy —it may be just ordinary human frailty. A sense of duty is a more valuable asset than personal charm, which the modern crook shares with diploi-nat‹ Winning delinquents over by kindness does not mean condoning or giving in to - their shortcomings. In spite of the war that was to end war, there are far more deadly and destructive weapons available to-day than there were fourteen years ago. Resolve not to over-step the mark in the matter of intoxicating drir' during the Christmas season, and remember that home-made wines are not always temperance drinks. Too many prohibitions and restrictions in the home--"Don't do this!" and "You mustn't do that!"—drive children into the rough horse-play aird vulgarity of street life.

THE RECORD.

MUSICAL CHORDS ( By E. E. EVEREST. It was the eve of her Clothing and t wo great longings filled her young heart: one being to consecrate herself utterly and entirely to God in the religious life, a desire no doubt shared by her three companions. Unlike them, she had no relatives coming to be present at the Ceremony; her father was far away. He was farther away still, Hence her other great spiritually. longing was that he might see the discord in his life and plant his feet on the safety of the Rock, overcoming those dread obstacles of doubt and unbelief that held him so tenaciously. Musician as he was, often listening entranced, drenching his senses, bathing his being in the beauty, say, of a Beethoven masterpiece, he yet failed to read its lofty message. How was it that though he soared intellectually above others, and was indeed 'accounted a genius, that he could not reach that ultimate belief, the beall and end-all of everything? How was it that while noble music wings other souls to Heaven, with him it stopped half way? Did he deliberately shut his mind to the divine appeal despising it perhaps as a stirring of the emotions only, and take his enjoyment and satisfaction in the greatest of the arts as purely intellectual? Even so, how was it intellect did not carry him to the highest in thought— to the very Author of the very first thought? One thing his daughter knew—it w ould be through music and music alone that her father would ultimately meet his soul, and meeting it, 1.x)‘‘ down in worship to the Infinite. But of what uses these speculations? They Ted nowhere at all. Prayer must be her weapon. A man as beloved as he was, who would spend himself for others, would not, surely could not, travel life's pathway much farther without recognising the Creator of what he so admired in creation. A t her Consecration on the morrow how she would plead for him, offer all for him. . . . The long day ended a little differently to usual, for the four aspirants were taken to the refectory and given an extra meal to fortify them against the lengthy ceremony of the morrow. They were the last to retire, the Convent was in quiet repose when they entered each her cell: and tired out, the little novice was quickly in bed and would have slept. but from the distance came sounds of broken music, deep, sonorous notes that stirred her strangely, or was it the wind-blown rain against the trees in the Convent garden in the gusty night without, for a storm was rising? She felt drawn to look through the trees to the far-distant sea, and thereon floated smoothly a roughly-made raft, helped by a sail: vet she felt danger closed around them, that the others would succour him first. The raft glided on rhythmically to the music that seemed to be made by no visible means, but to float on the air, disturbed by the fitful wind. She listened intently, trying to capture the vague melody, now present. now vanishing. Her ears cheatenl thus from hearing the whole phrase she tried to supply the missing notes by visualising them. And indeed, before her gaze appeared. as if written in the hazy blue atmosphere. the stave with black crotchets and quavers, making a perfect But they had long stems harmony. reaching curiously far down, as if seeking union with other notes as yet invis• ible. She strained to see more clearly, but clouds began hurrying hither and thither and obscured all but th, strange lines of music. The long stems of the notes. though strong, were not straight and stiff, but quivering, either from the rising wind or from unseen hands playing on them as on the strings of an instrument, for a light. tremulous melody of exquisite beauty was now heard, the deep, sonorous notes accompanying it. The storm was rising: the raft rocked dangerously: the long stems of the , notes reached downwards, hanging over the frail vessel, almost touching one or other of the voyagers, like ropes

of safety offered, yet the:: saw their. not. Colder blew the blast; the men turned up their collars and huddled closely; the feeble sail flapped furiously as if at any minute it might fly to pieces; the raft wobbled unsteadily as waves arose under the crescending anger ot the squall. The watcher longed to call to them to clasp the ropes, for, somehow, she knew they were safety lines; she tried to shout„ but no sound came. Waves were now dashing over the raft, while the mounting crescendo of the musi-. seemed simultaneously to make stronger, darker, thicker, the strange cords of life-lines, hanging like a protecting net, yet, apparently, still invisible to them all, even to her white-haired father—for something told her it was he. . . . Alternately hoping and dreading what she might see, her gaze, fascina, ed, was ever on them. A huge wave was approaching, the icy blast made the voyagers shiver. enfeebled as they were; they crouched down, as it broke over the raft which split up, planks floating away, tossea on the tumultous water. In the wild scene that followed, men threw up their arms or clutched at anything they could in the swirling torrent of the fierce wind-blown water. Some that clutched the air as the rush of water swept them off their feet, came in contact with the strange life-lines and were saved, as it steadied their hold on one or other of the floating planks. Others, their empty hands almost touching the rope, knew it not. Some vanished, some still struggled with parts of the wreckage or tried to swim; and during it all waves of sound rolled through the air in tune to the noise of wind and water. Would her father be saved was her one thought as, holding her breath in suspense, she saw the creaking mast was about to break away from the plank on which he stood calmly, holding on with one hand. With the other he stretched up to the swinging. saving line. . . . Oh! how she strained to see if the loved hand would clasp it . . . the lines of music were still visible, but she had no eyes to raise to that, strange as it was. Impotent to call out or move, she prayed, beseeched, implored with all the strength of her being; never had she so prayed. And her very prayer seemed to change the music to a solemn chant. . . . The mast snapped; her faiher grasped and help to the rope, and as his loved child raised thankful eves to Heaven, she saw that straggling line was from the final chord of the Amen and—awoke, believing she was on the cliff, music still in her ears, till, the hail battering noisily on the window of her cell and wind moaning in the great elms of the convent garden, and the coarse. unbleached sheet rubbing against the sen. sitive skin elf her chin—recalled her to reality. . . . And to a sense of peace as she murmured "Deo Gratias.' But w as it only a dream? • • • • "A letter for you.
