TO the Abbot. which had in 1t perhaps
more pleasantly than reverence, the
novice strobe across to the carved
prie-dieu which had been set apart for
him, and stood silent and erect, with
his hand upon the gold bell which was
used in the private prisons of the ABB
bots own household. His dark eyes
glanced rapidly over the assembly, and
finally settled with grim and menac-
Ing twinkle upon the face of his ac-
cuScr.
The chamberlain rose, and having
slowly unrolled the parchment-scroll.
proceeded to read it out in thick and
pompous voice, while a subdued rustic
and movement among the brothers be.
spoke the interest with which they fol-
lowed the proceedings.
Charges brought upon the second
Thursday after the feast of the As.
sumption. in the year Of our Lord
thirteen hundred and siXty-siX. against
Brother John, formerly known as
Horde John. or John of Horde. but
now novice in the holy monastic
order of the Cistercians. Read upon
the same day at the Abbey of Beau
lieu in the presence of the most rev.
erend Abbot Berghersh and Of the as
sembled order.
"The charges against the said
Brother John are the following,
namely, to wit:
First, that on the aforementioned
feast Of the Assumption. small beer
having been served to the novices In
the proportion of one quart to each
four, the said Brother John did drain
the pot at one draught, to the detri-
ment of Brother Paul, Brother Por-
phyry, and Brother Ambrose, who
could scarce eat their none-meat of
salted stock-fish. on account of their
exceeding dryness."
At this solemn Indictment the novice
raised his hand and twitched his lip,
while even the placid senior brothers
glanced across at each other and
coughed to cover their amusement.
The Abbot alone sat gray and i'm
mutable, with drawn face and
brooding eye.
Item, that having been told by
the master of the novices that he
should restrict his food for two days
to q single three-pound loaf Of bran
and beans, for the greater honoring
and glorifying of st. Monica, mother
Of the holy Augustine, he was heard
by brother Ambrose and others to say

insurrection SO sudden. 30 short, and
SO successful. Yet the Abbot Berg
hersh was a man Of too firm O gram
to allow one bold outbreak to imperiA
the settled order of hts great house
hold. In q few hot and bitter words
he compared their false brothers exit
TO the expulsion OF our first parents
from the garden, and more than hinted
that unless reformation occurred
some others Of the community might
lind themselves in the same evil ano
perilous case. Having thus pointed the
moral and reduced his flock to Q sitting
state OF docility, he dismissed them
once more to their labors and with
drew himself to his own private
chamber, there to seek spiritual aid
In the discharge Of the duties OF his
high office.
The Abbot was still on his knees,
when a gentle tapping at the door OF
his cell broke in upon his prisons. Ris.
ing in no very good humor at the in.
terruption, he gave the word to enter;
but his look of tmpatience softened
down into a pleasant and paternal
smile as his eyes fell upon his visitor.
He was a thin-faced. yellow-haired
youth. rather above the middle size.

His clear. pensive gray eye. and quick.
delicate expression. spoke OF q nature
which had unfolded far from the
boisterous joys and sorrows Of the
world. Yet there was a set of the
mouth and n prominence Of the chin
which relieved him Of any trace Of
effeminacy. Impulsive he might be,
enthusiastic. sensitive. with something
sympathetic and adaptive in his dis
position: but an observer Of natures

himself that there was native firmness
and strength underlying his gentle.
monk-bred ways.
The youth was not clad in monastic
garb, but in lay attire. though his
sombre hue. as befitted one who dwelt
in sacred precincts. A broad leather
strap hanging from his shoulder sup
ported a scrip or satchel such as trav-
ellers were wont to carry. In one
hand he grasped a thick s,aff pointed
and shod with metal. while in the
other he held his Golf or bonnet. which
bore in it's front broad pewter medal
stamped with the image Of Our Lady
OF Rocamadour.
Art ready. then, fair SOM" said the
Abbot. This is indeed a day OF COM

one twelve hours the Abbey should
have cast off its foulest We d, and
should now lose what we are fain to
look upon as our choicest blossom"

youth answered. 'If I had my will

The youth sat down as directed, but
reluctantly and with difidence. The
Abbot stood by the narrow window.

AS these three brothers advanced to-
ward him to carry out the Abbots d.
rection the smile faded from the no.
Then, with a sudden deep-chested
shout. he tore up the heavy oaken prize
dieu and poised It to strike, taking
two steps backward the while. that
none might take him at vantage.

he roared, "if any knave among you

Al this sudden outhame OF wrath the
two witnesses sank their faces on tnelf

Abbot turned his angry eyes away
from them and bent them upon the
accused. who met his searching gaze
with u firm and composed face.

around as he spoke. with the half
amused look which he had worn dur
ing the whole proceedings.
"There is no need to go further"
said the Abbot HE has confessed to
all. 1t only remains for me to portion
out the punishment which is due to
his evil conduct"
He rose and the two long lines Of
brothers followed his example. looking
sideways with scared faces at the
angry prelate.
"John Of Hordle," he thundered.
'you have shown yourself during the
two months OF your novitiate to be a
recreant monk. and one who is un-
worthy to wear the white garb which
is the outer symbol OF the spotless

stripped from thee, and thou shalt be
cast into the outer world without bene-

Arbuckles' ARIOSA Coffee exceed the
sales of all other package coffees in the

tually receives better coffee for their
money in Arbuckles' ARIOSA than

that he wished twenty thousand devils
would fly away with the said Monica,
mother Of the holy Augustine, or any
other saint who came between a man
and his meat. Item, that upon
Brother Ambrose reproving him for
his blasphemous wish; he did hold the
said brother face downward over the
piscatorium or fish-pond for space
during which the said brother was
able to repeat Pater and four AYES
for the better fortifying of his soul
against impending DEATH"
There was a buzz and murmur
among the white-frocked brethren at
this grave charge; but the Abbot held
up his long quivering hand. What

"Item, that between Nones and

Item, that after sundry japes and

up the said Mary SOwley and did take,
carry, and convey her across stream,
to the infinite relish of the devil and
the exceeding detriment Of his OWE
soul, which scandalous and wilful
falling away was witnessed by three
members of our order"
A dead silence throughout the room
with a rolling Of heads and upturninG
OF eyes, bespoke the pious horror OF the
community. The Abbot drew his gray
brows low over his fiercely questioning
eyes.
