Some Austrian Monks Who Must Have
Been Very Good Shots.
At kremsmunster, as at St. Florian,
there are royal apartments and also a
picture gallery, gallery Of engravings,
and other galleries of old glass, china
aud objects of vertu. In the church
treasury are many relics. much plate
and expensive vestments-some given
by the Empress Maria Theresa. There
is, however, hardly any thing media-
val, except very large chalice of the
time when communion in both kinds
was partaken of by the laity.
The library contained, we were told,
no less than eighty thousand volumes,
but to our regret we had no time to
properly inspect even a portion of its
contents, though some things in it are
very curious and others beautiful.
There is an elaborate manuscript trea-
ties of magic, with illustrations, and
another on astrology. A book of the
Gospels of the eight century is wonder
full for its most beautiful writing, and
there are various ancient missals adj
mirably illuminated. The works treat
ing on the different physical sciences
were, we were told, not in the general
library, but in separate departmental
libraries for the use of each professor.

however, was away for his vacation.
The gardens are attractive, with many
interesting plants and various green
honses, but the most interesting OBJ
iect external to the monastery was
what at first sight might he mistaken
for a sort of campo santo. This con-
sisted of a large space, in shape an
elongated paralielogram. bounded by a
sort of cloister with an open arcade of
pillars and round arches. This space
was traversed at intervals by passages
similarly arcaded on either side, and
these passages connected the two ar
cades on each longer side of the paral-
telegram. In each rectangular space,
thus enclosed by arcaded passages, was
. large fsh-pond abundantly furnished
with large trout or gigantic carp. The
walls Of the quasi-cloister were hung
round on every side with deers' heads
and antlers, and the venerable monk
who went round this place with Us as
sured us they had all been shot by mem-
bers of the community. he for one hav-

CHAPTER XVI.

Her face like marble. but with no lack Of
determination in it, Jenny walked down the
grimy court and crossed the market place. She
halted a moment to deliberate which way she
should take to Greystone school. She chose
the way of tho sands, and down to the beach
she went. with dropping head and frightened
peeps at the people who passed her; for on
her now was cruel sense of heavy shame,
and the despair that bares the nerves of the
heart for the sunshine and humaney eyes to tor
ture.
Crossing the space of single on which lay
the fishing boats roasting in the sun, she
toiled along the sand toward the ravine
which led to Greystone school. When she
caught sight of the schoolhouse the pulse of
her heart grew smaller, and her feet
dragged. To the nervous, modest girl,
whose shy spirit all the might and fire of
love had scarcely endowed with bravery
enough to keep her bold in secret meetings
with her own h~usband-whoso coming to him
was always a sweet scamper to his heart and

naughty little doctor, whose fiery prejudice
had earned him hate and fame among the
sect she belonged to-who had held her own
Cuthbert in awe and was always named by
him with fear-was terrifying, indeed.
But, then, what would become of her If she
had not spirit to push her quest into the pres
ence Of the one man who could, If he chose las
she believed, give her more information con-
earning her husband than all the rest of the
town put togethera Bravely she stepped for
ward under a supporting impulse, and walked
firmly to the door of the house.

servant held open, and left the house.
