II is autumn a sister is standing
N her cell in the convent near a win
dow that overlooks the sea. A letter
is in her trembling hands, n a panied
expression ON her teaT-Stained face.
She reads the letter again and again,
then puts it in the pocket Of her sable
gown and gazes sadly at the sun that
is slowly dying in the west with a
golden sea Of glory around it.
The letter is from her lover Of for
mer days, whcr their two hearts were
bound in one. IL is an appeal of elo-
quence to her-tO fOrsake the con-
vent and to marry him. He is sorry
for what he has done, and only awaits
the golden chance to throw himself at
her feet-there TO pour out the oceans
Of his repentance. He is waiting for
her I'm his carriage outside the munas-
tery's walls. He viii wait for her till
the sun has vanished, and if she fails
to come then he viii know she VIII not
fOrsake the convent for him,
A nightingale is thrilling his lay in
the woods, the sister hears it and looks
once more at the sun hat is slowly
disappearing In the west. She looks
at the letter again: then opens her
trunk and begins to pack il hastily.
There is q sort OF determination in her
movements. Suddenly she pausoS i'm

observes a few pearly clouds collect in
to a body and remain mOtiOnleSs. The
WaVelets of the sea cease their dane
ing. Not q sound is heard save the
singing Of the bird beyond. Even the
winds are silent.
Surely" thinks the sister, "aII ma
ture is listening to those heavenly
notes" A ray of the setting sun shoots
into the cell; it falls on a small crucifix.
that is standing upon the table and
throws its shadow across the trunk,
which the sister is packing. A. gentle
expression comes into her face. A
thought rises i'm her bosom which she
cannot rightly analyze, but the thought
has some connection with the crucifiX
and the VOWS she has made. Then there
Comes the sound of the convent bells
their mOurnful tones prOclaiming the
yesper hour. The nightingale stops
singing; the IA goes down; the sister
tears the letter in shreds and throws
them in the fire. She sees her lovers
carriage disappear among the hills and
Their sinks upon her knees before the
crucifx, her hands cIasped over her
trembling bosom.
And all is dark and silent i'm the cell.
The nightingale has sung its paean
of glory: the convent bells have rung
clear and sweet through the tempest in
her heart and called her pack to the
path of duty.
Ring on, We glorious convent bells!

Around the fireside or about the
well-lighted family reading table dur
ing the winter evenings the children
and grown-ups can play with their
wits and see how many words can be
made.
20 people making the greatest num-
Der of words will each receive Il little
box containing a $40 gold piece.
10 people will each win n box con-
tanning a So gold piece.
800 people will each win a box con-
tanning 81 in paper money and one
person who makes the highest number
of words over all contestants will re-
ceive a box containing 500 in gold.
1t is really a most fascinating bit of
fun to take up the list evening after
evening and see how many words can
be added.
A few rules are necessary for abso-
lutte fair play.
Any word authorized by Webster's
dictionary will be counted, but no
name of person. Both tho singular
and plural can be used, as : instance
grape" and grapes
The letters in 'YI-O-Grape- Nuts
may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with \ to-
gether and those beginning with f. to
come under T.. etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A. f.
and other columns to fill in later as
new words come to you. for they viii
spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some ron
testants will tie with others. In such
eases Il prize identical In value and
character with that offered In that
class shall be awarded to each. Each
n will be requested TO send with the
list of words a plainly written letter
describing the advantages of Grape

with q spring in your step and a re-

makes the doing Of things a pleasure,
you join the army of plain old COM
mon sense and start in now. Then
after you have been 2 or 3 weeks on
the Grape-Nuts training you write a
statement of how you used to be and
how you are now. The simple facts
will interest others and surprise your
self. We never publish names except
on permission. but we often tell the
facts in the newspapers and when re-
quested give the names by private let
ter.
There is plenty Of time to get per
sonal experience with Grape-Nuts and
write a sensible, truthful letter to be
sent i'm with the list of words, as the

Remember 331 persons will win
prizes, which will be awarded in an
exact and just manner as soon as the
list can be counted after April 30,
1906. Every contestant will be sent a
printed list of names and addresses OF
winners on application, in order to
have proof that the prizes are sent as
agreed. The company is well known
all owe the world for absolute fidelity
70 its agreements and every single one
of the 331 winners may depend on re
ceiving the prize o
Many persons might feel it useless
to contest, but when one remembers
the great number of prizes-(331)-the
curiosity of seeing how many words
can really be made UP evening after
evening and the good, natural fun and
education In the competition, it seems
worth the trial; there is no cost, moth
inc to lose and a fine opportunity to
win II OF the many boxes Of gold or
greenbacks.
We make the prediction that some
who win a prize Of gold or greenbacks
will also win back health and strength
worth more to them than a wagon full

It was a church sociable. and for tho
entertainment aud instruction of the
guests the committee had prepared some
slips Of paper on which were printed a
word puzz1e-that is, a little story was
told. with certain words indicated by
banks The guests were expected to ill
in the blanks with the proper words, and
the one succeeding in guessing nearest
the total number of words correctly should
have the prize. After the slips had been
filled they were read by their holders. In
it's puzzle shape the slip bore something
like this:
Near the waters Of the Mediterranean

coat was walking along the - way.
He was approached by a - man who
asked him, What is your -- national
fty'? To which the - old man replied,

Most of the contestants had succeeded i'm
flline the blanks so that the anecdoto
read pIeasingly-some n them were even
funny: but the shocking surprise of the
evening came when the young son of the
local livery man arose and read his effort.
He was stopped after the second sentence,
it being evident that he had not thorough
" grasped the proposition. He had re
placed the blanks with swear words.

Bran Stoker, who for many years was

night the theater of a town in Indiana.
Accordingly, StokCr wired the indi-

In a short while Mr.. Stocker received th6
Following; Does Irving ~parade?" When
shown this, the distinguished Briton was
much amused. He directed Stoker to reply
that Irving was a tragedian, not a min
