His reverence having, doubtless, regularly laid his plan of attack, at length broke silence, heated a deep sigh, gave to Lis,, countenance, lately so se vere and irritated, a touch expression of kindness, and said to Oabriel, in an affectionate voice, Forgive me, my dear uon, for having kept si lence. so long; hut your abrupt determination has so stunned me, and has raised within me so many painful thoughts, that I have had to reflect for some moments, to try and penetrate the cause of this rupturo, and I think I have succeeded. You have well considered, my dear son, the serious nature of the step you are taking?'' Yes, father.", "And you have absolutely decided to abandon the society, even against my will?" "It would be painful to me, father hut I must resign myself to it." " It should he very painful to you, indeed, my on; for you took the irrevocable vow freely, and this tow, according to our statutes, binds you not to quit the society, unless with the consent of your superiors." "I did not then know, father, the nature of the engagement I took. More enlightened now, I ask to withdraw myself; my only desire is to obtain a curacy in some village far from Faris. I feel an irresistible vocation for such humble and useful functions. In the country, there is so much misery, and such ignorance of all that could contribute to ameliorate the 'condition of the agricultural laborer, that his existence is as unhappy as that of a negro slave; for what liberty has he? and what instruction? Oh! it seems to me, that, with God's help, I might, as it village curate, render some service to humanity. It would therefore be painful to me, father, to see you refuse" "Be satisfied, my son,'' answered Father d'Aig rigny; " I will no longer seek to combat your de sire to separate yourself from us." "Then, father, you release me from my vows?" "I have not the power to do so, my dear 'son; hut I will write immediately to Rome, to ask the necessary authority from our general." V , ; VI thank you, father." Soon, my dear son, you will be delivered from , UiCBe bonds, which you deem so heavy; and the "men you abandon will not the less continue to 'I pray for you, that God may preserve you from still greater wanderings. You think yourself re- , leased with regard to us, my dear son; but we do not think ourselves released with regard to you It is not thus that we can get rid of the habit of paternal attachment. What would you have? We look upon ourselves as bound to our children, by the very benefits with which we have loaded them. You were poor, and an orphan; we stretched out our arms to you, as much-from the -interest which you deserved, my dear son, as to spare your excellent adopted mother too great a burden." " Father," said Gabriel, with suppressed emo tion, " I am not ungrateful." "I wish to believe so, my dear eon. For long years, we gave to you, as to our beloved child, food for the body and the soul. It pleases you now to renounce and abandon us. Not only do we consent to it but now that I have penetrated the true motives of your rupture with us, it is my duty to release you from your vow." "Of what motives do you speak, father?" " Alas! my dear son, I understand your fears Dangers menace us you know it well." " Dangers, father?" cried Gabriel. " It is impossible, my dear son, that you should not be aware that, since the fall of our legitimate sovereigns, our natural protectors, revolutionary impiety becomes daily more, and more threaten ing. We are oppressed with persecutions. lean therefore, comprehend and appreciate, my dear son, the motive which, under such circumstances induces you to separate from us." " Father!" cried Gabriel, with as much indigna tion as grief, "you do not think that of me you cannot think it." Without noticing the protestation of Gabriel ' Father d'Aigrigny continued his imaginary pic vure of the dangers of the company, which, far from being really in peril, was already beginning "secretly to recover its influence. . "Oh! if our compaoy were now as powerful as it was some years ago," resumed the reverend father, "if it were still surrounded by the respect and homage which are due to it from all true be lievers in spite of the abominable calumnies aV with which we are assailed then, my dear son we should perhaps have hesitated to release you from your vows, and have rather endeavored to open your eyes to the light, and save you from the fatal delusion to which you are a prey. But now that we are weak, oppressed, threatened on -very side, it is an act of charity, not to force you to shire in perils from which you have the pru dence to wish to withdraw y urself." Fo saying, Father d'Aigrigny cast a rapid glance at his socius, who answered with a nod of appro bation, accompanied by a movement of impatience that seemed to say: " Go on! go on!" Gabriel was quite overcome. There was not in the whole world a heart more generous, loyal, and brave than his. " We. may judge of what he must have suffered, on hearing the resolution he had come to thus misinterpreted. "Father," he resumed, in an agita'ed voice, whilst his eyes filled with tears, "your words are cruel and unjust. You know that I am not a coward.'' " No," said Rodin, in his sharp, cutting voice, addressing Father d'Aigr'gn, and pointing to Gabriel with a disdainful look; "your dear son is only prudent." These words from Rodin made Gabriel start; a slight blush colored his pale cheeks; his large and blue ayes sparkled with a generous anger; then, faithful to the precepts of Christian humility and resignation, he conquered this irritable impuhe, hung down his head, and, too much agitated to reply, remained silent, and brushed away an un seen tear. This tear did not escape the notice of the socius. He saw in it, no doubt,' a favorable symptom, for he exchanged a glance of satisfac tion with Father d'Aigrigny. The latter was about to touch on a question of great interest, so, notwithstanding his self-command, his voice trembled slightly; but encouraged, or rather pushed on by a look from Rodin, who had be come extremely attentive, he said to Gabriel: " Another motive obliges us not to hesitate in releasing you from your vow, my dear son, It is a question of pure delicacy. You probably learned yesterday from your adopted mother, that you will perhaps be called upon to take pos. session of an inheritance, of which the value is unknown." Gabriel raised his head hastily, , and said to alhor d'Aigrigny: " As I have already stafed to M. Rodin, my adopted mother only talked of her scruples of conscience, and I was completely ig- orant of the existence of the inheritance of which you speak." The expression of indifference with which the young priest pronounced these last words, was remarked by Rodin. " Be it so," replied Father d'Aigrigny. j5 " lou were not aware of it I believe you though all appearances would tend to prove the contrary to prove, indeed, that the knowledge of this in heritance was not unconnected with your resolu tion to separate from us." " I do not understand you, father." "It is very simple. Your rupture with us would then have two motives. first, we are in danger, and you think it prudent to Jeave us "Father!" " Allow me to finish, my dear son, and come to the second motive. If I am deceived, you can tell me so. ' These are the facts: Formerly, on the hypothesis that your family, of which you knew nothing, might one day leave you some property, you made, in return for the care be stowed on you by the company, a free gift of all you might hereafter possess, not to the poor, 01 whom we are the born shepherds." "Well, father?" asked Gabriel, not seeing to what this preamble tended. "Well, my dear son now that you are sure of enjoying a competence, you wish, no douot, uy separating from us, to annul this donation made under other circumstances." "To speak plainly, you violate your oath, be cause we are persecuted; and because you wish to take back your gifts," added Rodin, in 'a sharp voice, as if to describe in the clearest and plain est manner the situation of Gabriel with regard to the Society.1"' ' r "F ' ' : At this infamous accusation, Gabriel could only raise his hands and eyes to heaven, and exclaim, with an expression of despair, "Oh, heaven! Once more exchanging a look of intelligence with Rodin, Father d'Aigrigny said to him, in a severe tone, as if reproaching him for his too savage frankness: "I think you go too far. Our dear son could only have acted in the base and cowardly manner you suggest, had he known his Dosition as an heir; but, since he affirms the con -a om Krmnd in believe him in spite of Ll C.I J , "V - - aDDearances." id Gabriel. Dale, aeitated. tremb- line, and with half suppressed grief and indigna tion. "I thank you, at least, for haviog suspended your judgment. No, I am not a coward; for heaven is my witness, that I knew of no danger to which the Society was exposed. Nor am J base and avaricious; for heaven is also my wit ness, that only at this moment I learn from you father, that I may be destined to inherit prop IM Ids B'w Kira-k. Dresden. Mo.. March It. 1898.

I like the Ameri can and would not like to do without it, and I thank God that we have a man who is not arraid to boldly ana earnestly unfold the deviltry of Ro manism. The time is come that some thing must be done and done quickly to rid this country of the dreadful viper which the American people have been fondling, petting and caressing, until now enfolded in Hs slippery coils and threatening to fasten its dread ful fanrs Into the very heart of our nation. The treachery manifested in the Maine disaster and the destruc tion of Americans is only a faint pic ture of the diabolical spirit of Jesuit ism and priestcraft, and yet some would advise a small indemnity to heal the breach, setting a price on American blood and at riot Ism as if this nation had nothing to do but raise up vlrtrms for Rome to glut her vengance upon and over, which she can fearlessly practice ner infamous tyranny. No, at once and let it be a decisive and final one; blotting forever from our land the red hand of Romanism, and put an end to those dirty dens of vice where so many poor girls are impris oned and treated so shamefully, which is a disgrace to any country, and es pecially one who longs to boast of independence and liberty.

Rheumatism Gone Complication of Diseases After Having the Grip Better in Every Way Since Taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. . The grip and other forms of eerioua illness often leave the system in a thoroughly deranged condition. In such cases Hood's Sarsaparilla is just what is needed, lteadthis. "The grip loft me with a complication of diseases. I was constipated, grew very thin and became discouraged. My wife procured a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and I began taking it. After taking sev eral bottles I gained in weight and felt 60 per cent better. The rheumatism with which I had been troubled left me and Hood's Sarsaparilla gave me strength.
