Mr. Oiney waseowed by the attituite
the archbishop had suddenly taken, and
by thuMJ steely eyes flashing Into her
own. She dropied sullenly into a chair,
saying:
"I will give you my word for notb.
Ing, Sir, but I will listen to you as the
quickest way to be releas d from your
pretence."
'"Very pood, dear daughter," and the
archbishop, hit eye never leaving her
face, which she kept partly averted
from him in sullen disdain, said:
By way of introduction to my story
I will tell vou that I know the char
acter of young Father St. John, per
fectly. I am, and without self flattery
I may say it, a good judge of character.
either male or female. I do nut re
quire to bo long in the presence of co
ple, and listen to I heir conversation, to
make a pretty correct summing up of
the total, lam, to a certain extent, a
mind reader. My calling in life has
brought this gift to a high state of eul
tivatlon but to my story:
"There was once a seductively beauti
ful young woniun, the wife of a very
rich man, on whose hands time hung
very heavy. She was, to all outward
appearance, a very devout daughter of
the church. She worshiped at a richly
endowed and fashionable cathedral. A
handsome young prkst, with an ele
gant form, a face like those of the
saints Raphael has adorned the altar-
pieces of the churches of the old world
with, and with a heart as true and pure
as ever God placed in a child of man,
was appointed " the pastorate of a
church, which was an huirble though
near relative of the great cathedral,
and very distant from the home of this
fair lady.
"Nevertheless, she suddenly left her
richly furnished pew in the church
where the majority of her exclusive
circle attended mass, and became very
devout in her attendance in the humbler
church. Fast days and feast days and
all holy days, were observed by her as
they never were when she worshiped in
the cathedral, but for all the lady's re
ligious zeal the saints apparently did
not appiove of her devotion, for her
mind grew ill at ease, and tortures
which had known no existence hereto
fore Bprang up in the church where the
Raphal-faced young priest said the
mass.
"Very often when the evil spirits,
which had taken possession of this
gentle lady, raged furiously, she would
send for the young priest, demanding
that he restore ptjaee to her soul; bu,
strange to say, this pure-minded, zeal
ous young priest, who was devoted to
the church and Heavenly things, had
not the power toexorcise these demons,
and the poor priest, striving faithfully
to do his duty always, left the lady in
the fuller possession of evil spirits.
"At last there came anight when
every good impulse, every pure feeling,
of this unhappy lady was killed by the
evil inlher,ard she sent an Imperative
message to the young priest, under the
semblance of'honett purpose, beguiling
him to her home, and, dressed in a
fashion to heighten every stductive
feature, in a richly furnished room,
filled with maddening perfumes and
soft rosy lights, this woman received
the priest, who was young, impression
able, and only mortal; and a strong and
guilty (passion and desire looked out of
her beautiful eyes-; and her trembling
scarlet1;, mouth burred for kisses; and
the young priest was soiely tempted.
"Long he resisted, then, at last,
drunken and overcome with the subtle
incense of her beguiling presence, he
fell into her arms, sin-conquered; but
the Lord would not permit this choson
one of His to be irresistibly lost for one
sinful woman. So, in His wrath and
indignation, He shook the earth, and
in confusion aud dismay the young
priest fled from the beautiful woman
with the evil eye, who had lost the
power forevermore to lead him further
on to ruin.
"She was robbed of her prey, but she
looked for two nights for the return of
the young priest, whom she thought
secure in her toils He, dismayed and
remorseful, prostrated himself before
the Lord and earnestly besought for
giveness, and when he received a nolo
from this lady, asking for his return, he
determined, for his own salvation and
the lady's, to ignore the fact that he
had been the tempted and not the
tempter, and he replied to the lady's
note by the delicately-worded letter I
have here." And his grace lightly
touched his vest.
"A letter worded so as to save the
lady's feelings, and to prevent all com
promising of her reputation should the
letter fall in other hands than her own.
The lady, not content with this answer
to her note, sent him yet another, de
manding that he again visit her. In
reply, he wrote her something harsh, I
judge, for her guilty love has turned to
rank hatred; not for the misdeeds this
man had committed, but for the man
himself because "

The arthbishop h Id up his hand.
"Madam, Fatbt r St. John has told
mo nothing. 1 have not seen him for
two days."
' I don't b. lii-ve your grace. You
are protecting the villainy of your col
league. Give me thut letter. 1 p.'om
ise you, that btth ho and you shall suf
fer for this."
Quick as a flash, the archbishop dre1
the U tter from his pocket and slipped
it into the glutie of the gas j t.
"Now, Madam, you are owerless. I
bid you go i our nay, and repent and sin
no more; and rem r, as you your
self remind, d me, I am an ecelc-dastie
of high degree an J power. If you ever
attempt to ruin Father St. John in the
estimation of the world, I will exeom
municate you f-orn the church. In
spi'o of your wealth and pcsltlun, no
complaint of yours shall ever nach the
holy fa'her. You are vt ry proud of
that reputation of yours. 1 am not
afraid of you telling your husband, nor
any one e!e what has passed. Mrs.
IdaOlney has no wish to have her name
in the gut ter of public scandal even as
trustful innocence injured by a priest.
And his grace moved to the door to
bid her depart: hut she stood boldly up
and defied him still.
If Father St. John did not come to
you with the fabrication you have just
unfolded to me, your gra has prob
ably been calling up from memory some
little episode of your own sainted life,
with a slight variation, for I warrant
no earthquake had the power to drag
you Irom a snare, yju were only too
happy to be drawn into; and let mo tell
you, I fear neither you nor the church
nor your threats of excommunication.
We are in a Protestant country, and
the church is not sure enough of her
power, besides she has too much love
for wealth to excommunicate it from
her."
She darted a withering glance at the
prelate, who stood by the open door
with a look of calm contempt on his
handsome face, then once more gather
ing her cloak around her she stepped
haughtily out of the room.
The archbishop looked after her de
parting form and frowned. Naturally
chivalrous, he would have spared the
lady's feelings had she made it possible;
and had she been content to lay the
case before him as an ordinary woman
might, he would have severely cen
sured the priest and seemingly have
held her blameless, but by her revenge
ful anger she had brought the humilia
tion on herself.
Father St. John had been ordained to
perform important work for the church,
and this woman, rich and influential as
she was, must not be allowed to stand
in the way; and he knew he had read
the lines correctly. He had no fear of
Mrs. Oiney doinsr any material Injury
to Father St. John himself. Women,
like ber, have a horror of having their
names smirched; and the archbishop
would have staked much that the hand
some young priest was mo'e sinned
against than sinning.
Granted that that fiend of a woman
had lured him to her arms for an in
stant, Providence had interposed and
saved him from greater sin, or Ida Oi
ney never would have taken the course
he had. He had truly repented, or
he would have gone again to her pres
ence, instead of trusting to such a fury,
the self-accusing letter, which he had
burned.
The priest was a young apollo, and it
was in the nature of things, the volupt
uous women would, losing sight of the
priest, fall in love with the man. All
young priests had to overcome these
temptations.
The archbishop had heard light gos
sip among the priests of the cathedral,
to the effect that the rich and beaut. ful
Mrs. Oiney had deserted the cathedral
for Father St. John's church, but he
paid no attention to it. He knew that
Father St. John possessed the often
fatal gift of manly beauty. He also
knew tial the majority of women prefer
to be instructed either in good or evil,
by one who is entrenched in his doc
trines by that powerful attribute. The
knowledge that so beautiful a society
pet, as Mrs. Oiney, had so strong pre
dilection for the priest as to cause her
to leave a fashionable church and to
neglect society for her devotions, had
first brought to his mind that St. John
was the proper one to awaken the sleep
ing conscience of the beautiful wife of
Senator Maxwell.
The archbishop, worldly prelate
though he was, had all faith in the
purity of purpose of Father St. John.
If women were weak enough to fall in
love with him, they must suffer the
consequences of their own madness. He
had no fear that the wifj of Senator
Maxwell would suffer moral injury from
the teachings of the young priest. She
might fall in love with him with a sort
of a saintly worship, that would give
him unbounded religious influence over
her, and God and the saints erant that
this be so, but judging by what he knew
of her, and by what he could read In
her pure countenance, she was not a
wnmao to lead a man from the ath of
duty.

Mrs. Maxwell had been transfoi mod
from a happy wife and mother into a
melancholy semblance of herself. She
was tormented by grave doubt of eve
being able to convince her husband
that their union cemented by ten long
yt ars of faithful love and acknowledged
to be. honorable, by the civil law, ro-
quired sanctifying by a religious cere
mony, to enable a deud woman to find
rest. All the suerst'tious teachings of
her youth were upon her. She had de
t rmiued to go to confession and lay
hare, her heurt to God, through the
medium of the priest's intercei sloa
Once determined on this, she sent for
the govt rnes, who had become her
close confident
"Dora, 1 do not know what mysterious
power was brought to bear upon me
that Sunday afternoon so long past,
when for very Idleness, I wen I to church
with you and Jemle, but my mind lias
never b 'en at ease since. I have an un
seakahlo longing to bo in full com
munlon with thechurch. 1 want,"Mrs.
Maxwell blushed, "my next child to be
born with all its holy influences lia
piegnated in its being. I am going to
confession this afternoon and tell God
all there is in my heart, and through
the medium of that pious young priest's
intercession. I think he will grant me
partial absolution for my neglect these
long years."
"The holy saints bo praised" and
Miss Dillon crossed herself "my
prayer is answered. Many hours of the
silent night have I passed on my knees,
praying to the virgin for she is our
sex's refuge to awaken your sleeping
soul. I passed hours in supplication to
her on the eve that blessed Sunday fol
lowed, and you can imagine what wave
of rapture passed through me, when
you signified your intention to accom
pany me to church. J felt that my
prayer had found grace in the virgin's
ears, and I felt sure she would awaken
your sleeping soul, when once you en
tered the blessed church."
Dora Dillon hastened to order the
carriage. She was exultant. She lived
for the church. She had faithfully
performed many ofllces at its command,
but none so important as the present
one.
Miss Martha heard Miss Dillon order
the carriage, at which order she was
surprised, for she herself had only a
short time before suggested to her sis
ter-in-law that she ride out with her
self and children, but Mrs. Maxwell had
declared herself indisposed to ride out.
Sne had not even suggested to Martha
that she take the children and go, as
she had often dene before.
Miss Dillon knew that Mrs. Maxwell
was an authority in her own house, and
accounted to no one for her actions in
r husband's absence; still, she did
not want Martha to know where they
were going, so s lie said:
Mrs. Maxwell and I are going to
visit some poor, I have been telling her
about."
Miss Martha made no reply, and she
was suspicious that some underhanded
wirk connected with Catholicism was
the object of their outgoing, when she
saw the closed carriage drive away. If
visiting tho poor was their object,
there was no reason the children should
not have gone for an airing. The rainy
weather kept them in so much that
they ought to have thebentfitof the
sunshine when it camo. She sought
Anna.
"Yes, ma'am, the evil one has drawn
them away. I happened in the dress
ing room in time to hear some of their
conversation, and I heard Mrs. Maxwell
say bhe was going to confess her sins. I
don't think we can do anything, Miss
Martha; Mrs. Maxwell is her own mis
tress, and that female papist is her
companion."
"Surely, the hand of the Lord is rest
ing heavily upon us," said Martha.
"It may bo the hand of tho Lord,
Miss, but it's my opinion that it is the
opposition at work. The question is,
what is to be done?"
I don't see my way clear to any
thing, Anna, but I am going to speak
my mind to my eister-in-law today, by
way of a beginning," and Martha
sighed, and went to the privacy of her
own rooms to think.
She had a vague idea of consulting
Dr. Wood about tho trouble. II is cyn
ical unbelief was a shade better, in her
estimation, than the doctrines of the
priests; for she gave the bluff doctor
credit for being honest in his unbelief,
while the priests, she boldly asserted,
were the reverse; for sho argued that
no educated, right minded man could
believe the mummery they taught, and
of all their abominations, that of the
confession was the greatest. She
watched for the return of the carriage
and intercepted her sister-in-law and
her companion in the hall.
"Carmen, I wish to speak with you
in private, so I will go with you to your
room."
"Mrs. Maxwell is much fatigued,

well that you have lioen teaching hi
daughter to say prayers la tho devil,

lionuin priests into the house to howitch
his wife, and beguiling her to sneak out
in her own carriage pretending to visit
poor folks, and then to go and tell all
she ought to keep to herself and to her
God, to a beggarly spy of a priest. I
heard you planning it, and I told Miss
Martha. Did you think you could fool
mo with your yarns, even If I had not
overheard you talk? I know your mis
tress's way of visiting tho poor too well.
The children go with her and thev
carry big baskets of good things with
them, and Mrs. Maxwell doesn't come
home all tired out, but tho better for
serving the Lord. It's only folks that
go out to servo the devil, that come
back tired out."
"Anna," said the governess in a pat
ronizing tone, "I shall toll tho butler to
take better care of the wine bottles in
the future, and I excuse you, for I hon-
stly believe you have been drinking."
"There you lie again, Miss, for you
know I have not been drinking," and
drawing a step nearer and looking liko
a virago In her anger at Miss Dillon's
accusation. "It will go hard with you,
if you ever make a like excuse for my
plain speaking, again," and without
giving Miss Dillon time to reply, Anna
stalked down tho hall.
Today Mbs Dillon had received the
first rebuff of any kind in the home of
ber employer. "Those two old maids
have put their heds together to insult
me," she thought to herself as she ro
moved her wrap, "because they hate
rny religion, poor old geese, literally
hissing against a church."
Martha assisted her sister in-law to
xchange her out of dojr attire, then
said:
"Come into your sitting room, and I
ill order some tea, and we will have a
good long talk. Somehow, I feel as if
ames was thinking of us this very min
ute. '
Mrs. Maxwell made no demur, and
the two ladies were soon seated in the
ivory white and azure buodoir, where
Mrs. Maxwell had first received the
yuung priest. Martha, by way of open
ing her battery, said:
"You are not looking as well as usual,
Carmen. Your ride seemingly did not
:ree with you "
Mrs. Maxwell sipped her tea a few
minutes, then said, "O, yes: I am sure
am the better for it."
"Carmen, excuse me, but I am sure
you are the worse for it. I am going
speak plainly to you; When my
brother went away, ho said to me.
Martha, stand hy my wife and children
should any danger come to them.' The
danger has come,' " and Martha sitting
bolt upright as was her wont, put the
dainty tea cup on tho table with a force
that threatem d to shatter it.
Yes, the danger has come in the
shape of a priest of Baal. Do you
think James, there," and she pointed to
the portrait of the senator, "would ap
prove of your telling all the secret
thoughts of your mind to another man?
Do you think my brotner would ever
urgive me for sitting quietly by and
tting those imps of priests come into
is house and destroy his peace''' No;
and the spirits of our Presbyterian an-
estors would cry out against it. Know-
ng that I was doing as my brother
ould have me, I have forbidden that
nest to put his cloven hoof inside
these doors again till James returns to
take charge ol his own."
Do you mean to tell me, Martha,
that you have taken it upon yourself to
insult a person whom I saw fit to re
ceive into my house? You must know
Siat you are insulting me by such con-
uct."
"Should I bo insulting you, Carmen,
I saw a hungry wolf trying to destroy
you, and I put it out of your path?"
Martha, you are my guest and my
husband's sister, but I will not have
you interfering with my religion in any
ay. Did you not know that your
brother married a lloman Catholitand

"Did you ecr, till today, In tho ten
years of your warrtej life go into the
confessional? Would you have irone
there today, if Jamc had liocn at home?
Tell me that?"'
Mrs. Maxwell wa angry, and withal
astonished that Martha should know of
her visit to the coiifossioual.
"Who I playing the spy upon me?"
she asked Indignantly. "If It is a ser
vant, I will turn him or her out of the
home."
Miss Martha fearf.il lu r plain siieiik-

daughter to pray on beads and to do all

At this instant, Mis, Dillon with a
littlo premonitory tap at tho door, en
tered tho room.
"Kxcuso mo for Intruding. Mrs. Max
well, hut I was so anxious aUuit you.
You seemed so worn out with your ride.
Your faeo is flushed and I am sure you
need rest," and Miss Dillon, robed in
soft trailing draperies of blue, bringing
an atmosphere of rcqx so with her, laid
her cool, white band on Mrs. Maxwell's
hot forehead.
"Como and lio on tho couch, and I
will batho your boad with lavender
water."
Mrs. Maxwell, nervous and excited
by Martha's discourse, willingly yielded
herself to the soothing influence of Miss
Dillon, whoso coming was a great re
lief to her. Miss Martha, hard and
forbidding In person and manner, was
as unfit to reason with her sister-in-law,
on her religious belief, as a piece of
sand paper would bo to wlpo tho dust
from a polished gem. She arose, and
grimly jnilntlng with a lean, long finger
to tho portrait of her brother, said in a
hollow voice:
"Woo to your house, and woe to your
household gods, Jamie, for tho Philis
tines are descended upon it; and woe,
to him always, who goes among strange
nations and heathens, for a wife, and
makes her tho mother of his children,"
and she left the room without taking
further notice of her sister-in-law and
her companion.
The former indignant at her words,
and the goverre-s, even while she
soothed Mrs. Maxwell and told her that
tho words of tho spinster were not
worth a thought, and that ber religion
was as unlovely and a: hard as herself,
was ready to go into convulsions ol
laughter as she reealkd the tall gaunt
figure, with short, scant skirts apos
trophizing the handsome, smiling like
ness of her brother.

choose the latter even if itdoes cost the

the decision is between a semi Korean
