A YOUNG man had been caught in a 

 daring act of theft and had been con- 

 demned to be executed for it. He expressed 

 his desire to see his Mother, and to speak with 

 her before he was led to execution, and of 

 course this was granted. When his Mother 

 came to him he said : u I want to whisper to 

 you, ,: and when she brought her ear near him, 

 he nearly bit it off. All the bystanders were 

 horrified, and asked him what he could mean 

 by such brutal and inhuman conduct. " It 

 is to punish her, ,: he said. u When I was 

 young I began with stealing little things, and 

 brought them home to Mother. Instead of 

 rebuking and punishing me, she laughed and 

 said : 'It will not be noticed.' It is because 

 of her that I am here to-day." 



" He is right, woman,' 1 said the Priest ; 

 " the Lord hath said :
