Let's have the truth, now. Wasn't he hitting you?" "He, he, he!" giggled the old man, torn by the desire of self-preservation on one side and, let us hope, by a wish for justice on the other. "He warn't hittin' of me. He's my son, he is.... 'Alb is.... We were just having " "There! get out of this," said the policeman, releasing Frank with a shove. "We don't want your sort here.

"Lois it is Lois?" he said. The girl looked swiftly up and down the street before she answered him. He thought her very pale and careworn. He could see that her hands were trembling while she spoke.

"My dear friend," said he, "you hear confessions this evening, do you not?" "Most certainly. Are you well this morning? I had a good congregation at mass."
