Th0 Kiss, BY ROBERT BRACO, ,. (Copyright° 1901, by Daily Story Pub. t2o.) Sister Filomena entered the confes- sional. She began to open her soul in humhle, ahnost whispering tones. "Father," she said, "I am not cer- tain whether I have sinned or noL At times my conscience tells me that I have trespassed and then again I feel that I have done no wrong. What is s~rangest of all is when my conscience absolves me I suffer more than when it acauses me." The father confessor seemed non- plussed. "Be more explicit, my daugh- ter," he admonished, "and try to re- call to memory all the details of what has tended to harass your soul. Thou art so very young. At the age el eighteen the conscience is not yet fully aroused. You may trust in me to pass sound judgment The Lord will enlighten me. Confide in me." "I wil,1 confess nil, dear father. To- "And you~and you?" asked tl~c con- fessor. "Father, my soul was filled with fear at his words. I thought he might b~ doomed forever if he were permitted to die witlmut a token of unselfish af- fection. I dreaded the remorse that might come to my soul. I looked around me dreading to cause offense, then I bent over him and kissed him." "Where did you kiss him?" asked the father confessor in anxious excite- ment "I~ was quite dark. father, but I be- lieve it was on the mouth." "This was very imprudent, very im- prudent I understand it was done with holv intent. On the forehead, in- stead of on the mouth, would have been better. It would have sufficed to "The~,e is still hope for 7ou." save his soul. Well, it is all over. You only kissed a man who had but a few hours to i1]~e.

The physician declared that there wa~ no hope for the young man. He told me that the agony would be of short! duration and death would surely come before daybreak. I sat in silence watching the death struggIes of the young man and praying for his soul." " 'I am ready,' he sald. 'It is sad to be forced to dig at the age of twenty: five, but I am resigned to my fate. It is, perhaps, better thus.

I an-: ist Mason S'atow will take decisive swered: 'Thus every Christian should die.'" "Very well 7gBid," ".inferrtipted the father confessor. "The dying man whispered softly: "Help me to dfe in peace, r Let me leave this life with malice toward no.he. Let me enter in,to the next world with the remembrance of one act of ~nselfish love. Sister Fllomena, .have pity for a dying wretch. Give mesa kiss!'" "A kiss!" exclaimed the veflerable priest in astonishment. "I repeated my words of comfort to the dying and added: 'Have courage, my brother, prepare to receive the kiss of Cod the Savior.' " "Agaiz~ well spoken " remarked the servant of the cuurch. "But the pattent collected all his re- maining strength and lifting himself fi'om the pillow by a mighty effort be- seeched me to grant him this favor. 'Can you not see, Sister Filomena,' he Said, 'that ~fiy salvation depends on this? Will you suffer the pangs of re- morse fop refusing such a small ser- viee?~ I must not leave this world without one token of love from hu- manity. Will you have me perish?' " "'He, is alive?" "Yes, the poor fellow hovered be- tween ~ life and death until morning. The first rays of sunshine seemed to revive him." ",But this is a great misfortune!" eried the confessor. "What do you mean, father?" "If you have kissed a living man on his mouth, who continues to live, I am at my wits' end to know how to I bent over him and kissed him. propitiate the deed. With death a eer- "tatnty it would have been otherwise. Is he positively assured that the pa- tient will live? How is the patient to- day?" "He is getting better every hour." "Then you are doomed!" "My God, father, is there fie hops .for me?" "Dare not use the name of God in vain!" "Am I such a great sinner, father?" "Unworthy to wear the nun's gar- menLs." As Sister Filomena burst out in an uncontrollable fit of weeping, the fath- er confessor resolved not to. speak so harshly. "Let me see; when you en- tered the confessional you said that when the conscience, absolved you you suffered more than when it accused you. I cannot fathom this combina- tion." "That is all I can say. I feel what I fe~l, and I tell you just how I feel." "And you are sorry for what you have done ?" "If it is such a great sin, I must fed sorry." ~'I cannot grant absolution today. Let us wait. Who knows but the sick- ness of the young man may take a turn for tbc worse. We will be guided by his condition. I will not hear you further today." A few days later Sister Filomena again entered the confessional. "Wetl, how is No. 7?" asked the Priest. "He is convalescent." "What say the physicians?" "They say he will be healthier than ever." "You see, now, there is no hops for you, daughter." "I told :him so." "Told whom so?" "I told the patient that I am doomed on his account, and that if I had known that he would live I would never have kissed him." "And what did this man with his in- vincible health'answer to that?" "He said that he did not desire my perdil2on; to the contrary he would now .save my soul." "He wouhl have saved your soul if he had died." "Amd for this reason, father: he has sworn to me that on the day the physi- cians would pronounce him fully cured he wo,uld kill himself for ~-sake. But, father, in that case I wonld be guilty of hlS~uictde, and bad would hemade worse. I must not let him kill him- self~ On the other hand, i£ he does, I am also doomed, as ,you assure me." The new complications worried the father fer a long time. Finatly he lo0ked wiLh deep scrutiny into the face of his fair charge. "Sis~r Filomena, I absolve .y:ou, but further than that I will obtain a special dlspensatien to release you L~f your vow, Y~u love the young man ?'° "I do, father." "Tell him to come and see me hera as soon as he can walk. He needs ab- solution more than you. Both ab- solved, there is hope for you." In all the cities of Arabia, even a~ the present day, dried locusts, strung on threads, as-dried apples used for- merly to be treated in this country, are exposed for sale as an article of t:ocd, eaf'ly action. Count von Waldersec is I l reported to have sent an nltimatum to the imperial court. Alt appearances indicate that China's immovable ob- stinacy is merely intended to facilitate ~he active preparations she is making for a renewal of hos~iKties in the spring. Field Marshal Count yon Waldersee, telegraphing from Pekin, under date of the llth, says that from I'ao-Ting Fu onward, five of the chief plaees in the district, lying within the German spllcre, have been occupied perman- ently by one company each, to protect the inhabitants from robbery and op- pression. A dispatch from Field Marshal Count yon Waldcrsee, dated Pekin, Feb. 8, says: A Jagar company, detachments of cavalry, mounted infantry and ar- tillery have gone via Nakhow to Yen Khing, 72 kilometers northwest of Pc- kin, to investigate fresh murders of Christians, recently reported. it is now apparent to the officers of ~hc administration at Washington that it will scarcely be possib!o for the U.

The opinion is expressed in high circles, and even in a scetion of the semi-official press that Count yon Wal- dersee;s usefulness in China is about en41ed. TRANSVAAL WAIl |TGMS, T1)e government has decided to give notice to foreign nations of the fact that Cape Town is infected with the bubonic pla~ue. There is no lonff~r cmy doubt as to the natm'c of the dis- ease. Another native has died of the disorder, three additional cases are an- nounced and 50 persons who have been in contact with plague victims have been isolated. A temporary hospital is being" erected. The remains of Canadian sohtiers. who were killed in South Africa., will not be removed to Canada.. The fact that the late queen left her grandson's remains there and Lord Roberts also left the body of his only son where hc had fallen, has prompted other rela- tives of departed loved ones to do like- wise. Two hundred Boers recently raided the Prince Albert district,looting stores anddcstroying orchards and ga{.dens. Se-¢eral were killed and wounded. Seven British yeomanry, while skirmishing, were captured by a commando near Vryburg, which was forced to retire. Twenty-seven Australians, Cape po- lice and" dragoons were captured by Kruitz{nger's commando, eight miles from Ballaspruit, Feb. 6, after a fight in which three British and five Boers were killed. The British were after- ward released. Sir. Alfred MHner having notified the gOvermnent of New South Wales of his intention to send an officer to re- cruit in Australia for the South Afri- can constabulary, the government re- plied that the colony objects to such a proceeding. A special dispatch from Pretoria, dated the 12th, says (fen. I)e Wet crossed tlm Orange river north of Nor- val's Point, on the 10th, going in the dircctiou of Philipstown. The British are following. Gen. Kitchcner, in a dispatch from Prctoria, dated the 12th, says French has captured a convoy of 50 wagons and 15 carts, and has made 43 prisoners. Wc had one man wounded. The Boers violently attacked SmiLh,, Dorrimfs outpost at Bothwell, Feb. 0. but wc}e driven back with heavy loss. Pier De Wet is at Cape Town to en- gage the Afrikanders in the peace movement . Gen. French has occupied Ermclo, in the Transvaal. Six thousand Boers retired. PHILIPPINE NEWS. The large island of Panay~ of which Iloilo is the chief port, has been one of the most vexatious hotbeds of insurrec- tion and resistance to the American regime in the whole Philippine archi- pelago, and the announcmcnt ~hat its pacification has now bcc~ pracueally accomplished was one o~ the most grat- ifying messages received by the war department in the past week. According to the present plans of the war department the army is to be re- cruited to its full authorized strength of 100,000 men. The rcguhtr army now consists of abou~ 67,000 men, including the troops in the Philippines, so that the new enlistments are limited to about 33,000 mcu. At Bacolor on the 13th a bill apply- ing the piovinicial government act to the provider of Pampanga was passed in the presence of a crowd, which in- cluded representatives of all the 20 towns in the pro~-inee.

'" Owners of 'naphtha and electric launches will not have to come under the ~overnment restrictions during the coming season. They can continue until 190', ), at least, taking chances, throuffh their ignorance of naptitha engines and electric batteries, of blow- ing themselves and their launches into the coroner's custody. Gen. Grosve- nor, who has had charge of the bill to require pilots and engineers of such launches to submit to examination by federal officers as to their qualifies- tiers to navigate launches, says there will be no time to h~tve the bill passed this season. When the ~)ostal bill passed the house, Rep. Loud assured the members that no important amendment had been discovered, but there is a provi- sion that will give the country editor an awful jar. It provides that in cities where there is free delivery, the wecldy newspaper publishers cannot. have their paper distributed at pound rates, must pay one cent a copy, or 5'2 cents a year for a dollar subscription, or else employ carriers. Editorial as- sociations over the country are making vigorous comphtints, and ask. the sen- ate to kill the amendment. The one serious task to be accom- plished by this congress before it ad- journs is the passage of a resolution declaring that it is the sense of the U. S. that the military occur)ation of Cuba shouhl not cease until the Cuban peo- ple, in convention assembled, Shall have framed a constitution and organ-" izcd the foundations of a government which shall reeogniz~ the claims of the U. S. to certain political arid commer- cial concessions more favorable than granted to other nations of the world. President McKinley has dclined to appoint 1;entofi Itanehett, of Michigan, attorncy-g:neral of the U. S. during the second term of his administration. John W. Griggs, of New Jersey, the present attorney-general, declines a re- appointment. Mr. I[anchett is about 6oycars old and that is the reason he will not be a[)pointed. The Prcsidcnt wants an attorney-general not over 50 years of a~c. Atty.-Gcn. Griggs was 48 when appointed. The ship subsidy bill is getting to be a target for jokes Claims that i~ will pass are still made by the pro- meters of it, but they arc very mild. Senator Spooncr, of V?:~consin, who was relied upon by the promoters to support it, stated on the 13th that not only did hc not want to advocate the measure, lint he was against it. The ceremony of counting the elec- toral vote for president and vice-presi- dent, cast in the election last fall, took place in the hall of the house of repre- sentatives at i o'clock on the afternoon of the 13th at a joint session of the senate and house. Crowds thr6ngcd the galleries and many distinguished personages were present Shortly after the senate convened on the 11th the naval appropriation bill was passed. The shipping bill was then taken up and kept before the senate during tim remainder of the legislative day. Mr, Caffcry (Dcm., La.) occupied the floor throughout the session. On the 9th Rcp.

The railroads entering Memphis are alive to the situation and have promised t.~ do everything possible looking towarc~ the comfort and pleasure of the old soldiers and their friends. Every courtesy wtll be extended the local committees in meeting incoming train~ so that the thousands of strangers may be taken In hand and assigned to their quartere. A special rate of one cent a mile has been recommended by the general passenger agents of all lines interested and it is certain that the joint passenger association will authorize the rate. Fifty thousand dollars will be raised by the citizens of Memphis so tha~ all visitors may be assured of a good time. All of the subscriptions so far have been voluntary and one of the most notable was that of Robert R. Church, a representative negro citizen, who contributed a eheek for $1,000. Church was born a slave in Mississippi, and after the war removed to Memphis, where he has since lived. He is a good business man and citizen and numhers among his friends many of the repre- sentative business men and financiers of the city.

Thougll we catch not one gleam of the day,

The last final end of our journey, Thero lies the Great Station of Rest.

If stolen or begged for or bought. On whatever read or division,
YVill bring you at last to the spot.
If you pause at the Ctty of Trouble, Or wait ia the Valley of Tears,

You shall feel perfect peace in thl~ realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair ~ waters,
With joy and 'de l igh t at the helm. You shall wander .in cool, f r ag ran t ga F-

Journey You shall lind in the City of R e s t

Sis ter F i l o m e n a en tered the confes- s ional . She began to open her soul in humhle , a h n o s t w h i s p e r i n g tones.

W h a t is s~rangest of all is when m y consc ience absolves me I suf fer more t h a n w h e n it acauses me."
The father confessor seemed non- plussed. "Be more explici t , m y d a u g h - t e r , " he a d m o n i s h e d , " a n d t ry to re- call to m e m o r y all the de ta i l s of w h a t has t ended to h a r a s s y o u r soul.
