TTomp Convent TO .NTfar.
One of the Most Remarkable Romances in Real
Life in Yankton, South Dakota.

Yankton Is. d. Correspondence of the
New York World.
From the windows Of her private apart
ments in the state insane asylum the
superintendents wife may look into the
garden of the convent where once she
was a nun.
Love revealed itself to her sixteen years
after she had taken the veil-love so i'm
petuous, so compelling, that her vows be-
came as straws and the wrath of her
church light thing. and she laughed
at the bolts of the convent doors.
So it was that Mother Mary Paul be-
came the wife of Dr. Sabien Ross, and
for long time her portion and his were
hatred and scorn.
They have lived down the hatred and
the seorn She did long ago He was
slower to reconquer the regard Of his
neighbors. Both were resolved not to fee

her active, useful life to glance down to
where the shrouded sisters tell their

what had happened
Whatever the design may have been 1t
was foiled by Mrs. Hlgbee's husband, who
told the parish priest, who told the
mother superior Of the convent
The mother superior refused to believe

In the face Of evidence; but when the
report reached the bride she made instant
confession. left the convent and cast
aside her habit forever.
From that time-it was the day after
the wedding-she and her husband have
not been separated.
1t would be impossible to exaggerate
the excitement and the bitterness Of feel
ing occasioned by the event. The physi-
clan had not a single champion. He
was assailed as an unmitigated scoundrel
and desecrator of relations holier than
any human ties
His wife was not blamed so much. She
was looked upon with pity as the vic
tim Of some power superior to her own
will. If hypnotism had been fashionable
In those days it would have been hailed
as the explanation of the romance.

practice. To follow the chain of eircum-
stances that brought him to Yankton
would not convince the prosaic that 1t
was not coincidence, nor the sentimental
that 1T was not fate.
1t is enough that he did come here, af-
ter working as a steamboat man on the
upper Missouri, and in time established
fine practice in an area commanded by
the convent towers. And thus were pre-
pared the elements of the drama.
The action opens sixteen years
ago. Nellie Kearns's strange life has run

There was CONSERVATION in the convent
for Mother Mary Paul was ill-Mother
Mary Paul, the well-beloved exemplar
Of every pious grace, the wise and gifted
and tender-hearted, without whom the
sisterhood would feel as flock without
its shepherd.
She was Ill, and the convent medicine
chest was unequal to the emergency.
Remedies suggested by the Oldest and
most experienced nuns were Of no avail
The ruddy cheeks had paled, the lustrous
eyes grown heavy. The strength for
which Mother Mary Paul was renowned
in the sisterhood was dwindling away.
DR.. Sabien Ross received an urgent
summons. He must come at once to see

to show the world that the explanation
was very simple one and a very old
one-that it was love. They refused to
retreat before a storm that might we'll
have terrified less steadfast spirits.
The story Of the last sixteen years Is
that they have gradually lived down the
odium Of their union. Mrs. Ross has been
accepted back into the Catholic fold, and
today as a wife and mother Is as sin
cerely religious and as energetic In good
works as she was in the old convent
days.
Her love and influence have greatly aid
ed the doctor in his uphill fight for the
restored goodwill of the community.
When he succeeded DR.. Mead. a most
able and popular official, as superinten-
dent of the insane asylum, there was q
storm of protest throughout the state and
many predictions Of disaster.
There has been just one emergency, and
that DR.. Ross grappled with successfully.
Owing to a disagreement between one Of
the medical staff and the attendants, the
latter went on strike. For a time 1t look
ed as If the lunatics would be without
control, but the new superintendent was
equal to the emergency: there was no
outbreak, and the new attendants were
quickly secured.
She, who was formerly Mother Mary
Paul, is very happy over the vindication
of the man for whom she broke her VOWS,
and says that the evening Of her life
promises to be brighter as well as more
fruitful then that which she dreamed
OF in the convent garden.

bib to cover the breast, but fashion die

but should be turned down carelessly.
The apron fastens behind by two brass
buttons. and comes in three colors-white,
lemon and tan. The white one, which is
affected by the younger and more modish
sort of blacksmith, is REINFORCED and

Cook is f1fty-fve years old and wealthy
quarryman.
Ten years ago, according to his decla-
ration, Miss Englehart, with whom he
was acquainted, invited him on New
Years day to see her He went to her
home, and alleges she made him drink.
When ne had done so she invited him to
go shopping with her. They went out,
and, finally stopping IN front Of the resi-
dence of Rev. Mr.. Loeb, she said: Now,
Henry, here is a preachers house and
we are going to get married"
Henry protested, but ne was so full of
Joy-and New Years wine-that he could
not resist. So he went In, was married,
Lizzie paid the preacher and they de-
parted.
We walked back to her home,' he
says, "and when we got to the gate she
said: Now, Henry, we are married, you
go back to your homo and attend to your
business as usual ard I'll attend to mine.
Good-b by And she shut the gate between
us and went in the house." No amount of
pleading, entreaties or threats could In
duce her to allow him to accompany her,
so he went home with heavy heart
From tin,e to tims he called to see her,
but she wou.i not be seen. Then he
would write and beg her to come live with
him, but she treated hin with contumely,

and replied in crushing manner

finally made bet with her parents that
they would be married.

could wait, for nothing else could be
so terrible as for Mother Mary Paul to
be in danger.
And Mother Mary Paul, whose big Irish
heart had never beaten faster for any
thing outside the narrow round of her
work, lifted her tired eyes at the sound
of a deep, soothing voice. and looked
into the comprehending eyes OF one who
had suffered and meditated and sacrificed
even as she had done. though in q Diff
ferent way.
Mother Mary Paul made a fine recovery.
but 1t was not until after he had Maid
many visits to the convent that DR.. Ross
expressed himself Satisfied that she no
longer needed his care. The sisters ac-
claimed him a wonderful healer, for the
Mother had never looked so happy She
was a girl again. And still they did not
understand.
OF her struggles, her sufferings, they
knew nothing. There was a fierce battle
between the nun and the woman. And
the woman triumphed. Mother Mary
Paul left the convent one morning and
went to the house of Mrs Edward Hig-
bee, one of the many women of Yank-
ton who loved her. From Mrs Higbee,
who was in the confidence of the lovers
she borrowed dress and hat For the
first time in her life she presented the
aspect of a woman OF the world-and a
beautiful one.
With DR. Ross she went to the house of
Mrs. Hoffman, another friend. There they
were joined by the Rev. DIR. Ward, of the
Congregational church.
Dr. Ward afterward vowed that he act
ed in ignorance He said he understood
the bride to be a young lady who had
been studying at the convent school.
Mother Mary Paul was thirty-two years
of age but she looked like girl When
asked her name she said. Nellie Kerns."
CHAPTER III.-THE TRIUMPH.

explained why it was agreed between
them that after the ceremony the bride
