"You aro mrprlucd at my nHking your Uontlon, and I will tell you why. have a mother's care over those umlur my charge; I have vowed to the bloaood Mary and the Holy Jeaug that I will do alii can for thorn: I noticed the atton' I'J i you jave the wordi ot the bishop, what a wonderful dlnoouraol What a noble man he 1st He la one with the Master. Can you wonder that we wor ahlp our prlonU? They are different from other men. They are part of Jesim himself, to whom they devote their livci." , "It hadantrange effect on mo," re plied Zelda. "I em mi in doubt, and Ohl Mother Superior, what shall I do?" "The doubts jou have are the promptings of your evil nature, of Satan. Put them behind you. Your true courao ia to give yourself to Jesus; that is, to the true and right." "But this! cannot do. What would my father SBy were I to become i Catholic?" "Your immortal soul la of more con acquenue than your father's frown, Your heavenly father is more worthy of obedience than your earthly. Besides, If your father could have this presented In the right way, he would, without doubt, seo the same as you. Your cor version may be the means, by God't grace, of saving your whole family from purgatory." There was a low rap at the door; It was pushed open and a priest entered. "You are Just in time Holy Father," exclaimed the superior. "Here Is a poor child, a lost lamb of the fold." "Jesus Is the Master," replied the priest, kindly. "The blessed mothor Intercedes for such Here, I have the waters of life." He held a bowl in his hands, "and with it I have the power to wash away all sins, and restore thee to thy re deemer as tho bride of Jesus." Saying which be sprinkle Zelda with a copious shower, and before she was aware of his intentions, or could offer a word of pro testation, he made the sign of the cross on her forehead. "You are now a member of our holy mother church. I abjure you to re main steadfast, else you will be cast into outer darkness, beyond hope of re prieve or redemption." Saying which he passed out, and ZcW& found tongue to ask: "Mother Superior, is this true? Am I a member of your church?" , "Irrevocably, for it is a proverb, onco Catholic al-vays a Catholic. That is, the member can never escape the con trol of the holy father." "But I did not intend to join. I might have concluded to have done so, but I was in doubt." "And you should return thanks that your doubts were so easily disposed of; the matter is settled for you, and now you have only to go on in the good course so well begun." "My father!

"I rt'grit that we Bllowod her to goat all," responded Mrs. Joslyn, "for she has been farther away in reality than she would have been on the other side of the Rockies." Tho boll rang, and Mr. Kensvtt was announced. After the salutation he said: "I beg your pardon, Mr. Joslyn, for this Intru sion, and I should not have ventured but Interest In your daughter's welfare prompted." As ho- spoke his eyes turned from the father to the heavily framed portrait of Zelda which hung on the wall. "That work of yours, Mr. Konsett, is a masterpiece, and gives you tho free dom of this house. You should have made use of tho privilege before. I do not know how I should have managed without her had I not had this picture. Just like tho darling girlalmost speaks. I sometimes think I see her smile I" "I came to Inquire of her," said the visitor. "She's all right-all right. A girl like her, with my training, could not be otherwise But somehow, her letters of late are queer. There Is a loosening, a yielding. I toll you, Konsett, I don't likolt. I believe I have let my child go among wolves." "So I foarl I was brought up with a prejudice against tho Catholic church. i am oi tne jiuguonoi swck. you re member how they were dastardly bo' trayed and butchered! I have the he reditary hate of that massacre in my veins," "Right! Right!" exclaimed Mr. Jos lyn. "And last night I had a dream," con tinued Kensett. "It was a frightful dream about your daughter. I was standing by a river. Just above the points where it rolled down a wild rapids, whirled into waves by the rocks and lashed into white foam as I stood there heard some one call my name far up tho river. The voice I knew well as that of your daughter. My heart sUxhI still when a small boat came In sight, bear ing her swiftly onward. I saw she had one broken oar In her hand, but was allowing the boat to take Its own course. I shouted to her to use the oar in turn ing the boat toward mo, and clasping a point of rock with one hand I stepped as far Into the water as I dared, and mado ready to grasp the prow of the lioat when It reached mo. Fortunately an eddy assisted and turned the boat so that I caught the prow, and for a mo ment stayed its career. As I did so, Zelda leaped on the rock, and the boat, escaping my grasp, was caught by the current and disappeared. I awoke In agony of fear, and havobeen so haunted all the day that I have coma that I might hear directly from her as to her present safety." "A singular dream, which I hope may have oomo from Indigestion. I've had awful dreams from that. Dreamed of having the trunk of a bier redwood rolled on me, and awoke up shouting for some one to roll it off!" Mr. Joslyn made believe this was a good joke, but his laugh was a failure, and found no second with his wife or lsitor. The servant brought a letter and pre sented to hlra. He looked at the address, and exclaimed with delight: "A letter from Zelda, just In the nick of time, ten we all want to hear from her. The blessed girl; she always thinks of us." With hasty hand ho tore own the en velope and read aloud: Dear .

Mr. Joslyn turned to Kensett, whoso strength of will was shown by the man ner in which ho received tho news, for there was no perceptible change ex cept a gleam In his eyes and a compres sion of the Hps. "This Is the bitterest hour of my life," ho answered. ''I could bear any thing better than this. I would that every dollar I possessed were gone, and I could go out to the placers and wash gold, even in this old age wash gold to give my little daughter broad. A crust for myself, but she should have the heart of the loaf! Oh, anything! 111 sell myself for a slave, to work at the most menial toll until these withered hands fall lifeless, If It only gives her happiness. What shall I do?" he asked, turning helplessly to Kensett. "Do! why man, the case Is not hope less. Go this night and demand your daughter. Bring her home at onco, and under your superior Influence Bho will forget this alliance." "The messenger awaits an answer," Interrupted tho servant. "An answerl Then I will write, in stead of going tonight. The morning will bo as well. I dare not trimt myself tonight. Tomorrow I will write to havo Zelda come home, and I will go for her tomorrow!" (To be Continued.) THE FIGHT IN CLEVELAND L .. - - . . - flifSt f .f tlve. I do not Know what la the matter with me. I was, as I said, greatly af fected, and the superior, after dinner, called me to her room. While there, a priest entered, and sprinkling mo with holy water, told me I was a member of the Catholic church. I do not retrret being a Catholic, for they are all ex cellent people, and the novices live pure, Ap Jaw Element In the School Contest uur esteemed democratic local con temporaries are disturbed over the siul don apparition of an organization in this city called the American Protec tlve association, strongly resembling, we aro told, tho old Know-nothing order which flourished something like a third of a century ago. The demo cratic press vouches for the assertion that it Is "a dark lantern skull aggro' gatlon" organized to "stir up strifo," to pit "one olass of citizens against another." Tho sonlor local organ of the democracy says the aim of this new order Is "to keep from participation In all governmental matters Catholics, members of all sects differing in religion from orthodox protestantism, and all foreign-born citizens." Possibly our contemporary thinks ho knows whereof ho sjMsaks, but wo fear he Is groping In traditional democratic darkness. In a communication In yesterday's fstuh r a citizen stated that the order in question admitted Jews and forolgn-born citizens of all nationalities. A well-known Irish-born Clovelandor called at this oflloo yesterday to Inform us that he was a member of the "dark lantern, skull aggregation," and that Its objects were to promote "a stronger American sentiment," chiefly by keeping the pub llo schools In the hands of the true friends of common school education. Tho members of the order will not vote, he said, for any man for the school coun cil who belongs to a jKilttlcal or religi ous organization which is opposed to tho American common school system. In short, the members of the new society In this city are making the same fight that was waged by the people of Boston to rescue their schools from Romish control. In that city the Romanists had grown so arrogant and confident of their power to shape American consti tutions that they dictated the choico of text books and expelled teachers for having taught the truths of history as set forth In standard writings. Had not the intelligent, public-spirited citizens of Boston combined against tho growing abuses the usefulness of their free schools would have been destroyed. There is nothing remarkable In an American citizens' movement against the aggressions of Romanism. General Grant said that the next great struggle in the United States would be on this question. Possibly we are now In the ; midst of the first stages of that struggle. Nothing whatever Is to be gained by ' attempting to disguise the fact that the chief object of tho organization which is giving our contemporaries so much annoyance is to prevent Roman Catho lics from obtaining control of our schools. Whether this object is wise or not the voters of Cleveland must determine for themselves.

This movt-tltetit hsa nothing new or strange in It. It seems rather to' 1st quite n natural result of t ho ttbuttoa that have of late character I zed our school government in thl city. A little clique of democrat, In order to placate the Roman Catholic vote, have given places as te.iohors to Catholics living outside the city when there were scores of capable Protestant girls In the city, waiting for positions, Young women, just graduated from parochial schools, who had never yet seen the hiBide of a public school build lng, have been apX)inted teachers, while scores or gins educated in our public schools were rejected. They were appointed by democrats because not less than 08 per cent, of the Roman Catholic church votes the democratic ticket. The democratic papers of Cleveland know this, and therefore they have brought this subject into this campaign, and are heaping denuncia tion and abuse upon a body of men, who, so far as we can learn, have no object in view except to protect the rights of the graduates of our public schools to positions as teachers In the sumo schools where they have passed most of their days, and around which cluster all the most cheerful associa tions of tholr llvos. Really the Ltatkr cannot see anything in this socloty which ought to drive the democratic editors Into such a chorus of lamenta tion and woo, Publlo officials must, from tho very nature of our politics, show some favor to tho party that elects them. The only difference between the two vf " tn this reject is that one contains prac tically all the Roman Catholic voters, and tho other the bulk of the Prot estant voters. Tho first would be bound to use Its power, in a large measure, to recompense Roman Catholics for their influence, and to appoint them to teach in schools which they have been taught to abhor as unfit places for their own education. The second would be com' polled, from the very nature of its membership, to appoint teachers who had boon educated in our public schools, who love and cherish our public school system, and who bolleve that the per potulty of our froo Institutions depends upon making our public schools tho nur series of a broad and deep spirit of American patriotism. Between these two parties the voters of Cleveland will choose on Monday next, and we' think we can predict what their choico will bo. VkvrUtnd Jjt.ador. Tho friends of the publlo schools and good government decided by their little ballots on Monday, that all men owing allegiance to Rome, who are the enem ies of good government and the Institu tions of this country should havo no voice in tho management of affairs. 1'atriotic American.
