When she opened her eyes it was daylight, and the delicious odor of frying meat pervaded the air.

She said nothing more, for she could not see clearly what it was best for her to say; and she did nothing, for she could not see what it was best for her to do. But she resolved to be watchful over her boy, lest he should again be tempted into disobedience. The mother's watchfulness, however, availed not. Ere night-fall Andrew was with his little friend again.

Nevertheless, there were two pieces of good fortune. My fellow-laborers in the grading gang were principally Italians from the southern provinces and their efficiency was also low.

I can only say that I shall be watchful of every opportunity to insist upon the principles I have enunciated. Cordially and sincerely yours, WOODROW WILSON. The Rt. Rev. Thomas J.
