"He crossed my PATH" said the priest
moodily.
"Crossed thy path-how ?'' demanded
the soldier.
Father Francis looked wistfully at his
questioner, and muttered, Sin love"
Captain Wyckhamme struck the table
with his fist, until the wine TASKS danced
again, and then starting to his feet, with
a coarse roar of laughter, exclaimed-': He
no! - hath it come to this? And so a neat
ankle and buxom cheeks, and gimp waist
were more than match for this sanctitv
And thy cell was solitary and cold-was il
not Priest? And man even though q
monk, cannot be always praying, SO thou
wouldst take to wooing for an interlude.-
Brave Sir Priest? Credit me, thou art a
man Of mettle-a bold friar-an honor to
thine order. Nay, thou shalt be the found
er of an order-of a family mean and BY
my halidome, there will be rare spice Of
devil in the breed. But | say, Father who
is she what is she? Do her eyes spar
kle? her cheeks glow-her, -
Silence babbler," said the priest, "her
name is too pure thing for thee to take
within thy lips; for thee to speak Of her
mere blasphemy."

| say unto thee, beware"
! "llush love her, love her with a depth
Of passion which things like thee cannot feel
or comprehend. | have wrestled ought
with lt-striyen in the darkness and silence
Of my cell to crush it; but cannot; she
is my light-my Army God have said it
i have sworn it--she shall be mine, al
though give my body and soul to purchase
the treasure"
The captain looked surprised at this out
break. "Wilt thou remove this man -
continued the priest after pause, and
speaking in a voice Of frightful calmness.
Hum-wh why-marry, | would do too
much to oblige thee" began the soldier,
when his companion interrupted him.
".We are IN each others Secrets"
The officer Of the guard shrugged his
shoulders.
"And with men ike US to be in each 9TH
ers secrets, is to be in each others power"
The officer Of the guard shrugged his
shoulders still higher.
81 am,' was the r5ply; Mark IIuntley,
will not live long 10 thw"rt thee
"'Tls well, muttered the priest" but
the blow mus; be Immediate"
"lt shall fall to morrow said Wyck-
hamme :. leave the means to me. But
say Father, how dost thou propose to get
possession of the maiden and when:'
" To-night," replied the monk, and his
eye glistened. II am her father confessor."
Captain Wyckhamme smacked his lips.
ga sweet duty, by my faith, to listen to
the futtering thoughts of youthful female
hearts. | almost would were a monk"
