Excerpt from Alice O'connor's Surrender "Father, it is useless to urge it, for I cannot - no, I cannot give him up!" "My child, I have not asked you to give him up, but even that sacrifice you could make if you would." The first speaker was a girl, and her fair face flushed and her large, gray eyes dilated as she made her passionate protest. He who answered was a priest with a fine, earnest face still youthful in appearance, though he had entered upon his forty-fifth year. Father Berran had called this day at the home of Mr. O'Connor, one of his parishioners, and had found only the eldest daughter, Alice, at home. He had known her since she was a little child, when she was a favorite of his, and strongly attached to him. But of late all had been changed.
