form of cell-devotion is peculiar to the
Carthusian order, which has practiced
it from the earliest times.
The Carthusian monks do not even
go out to meals; but each repast is
brought to the cell and pushed through
species of trap-door. This opera
ton is performed in silence; neither
the one bringing the meal nor the re-
cipient saying word. The meal Is
brought in three separate cans, like
a workman's dinner pail. The bottom
can contains soup; the second fish;
the third two kinds of vegetables and
some fruit. A bottle of wine is also
served with the dinner.
No meat is eaten; the Carthusians
being strict vegetarians. Concerning
this vegetarian diet, the strictest rules
prevail. Even II monk is dying, and
meat should be ordered by doctor.

Franklin, indeed, deserved somewhat
of the compliment. Dressed In the full

Franklin passed ON up into the hall,

walls.

side with humber members of the
community drafted from the peasantry
of France and Italy. Every one in the
monastery, prince or pauper, partici-
pates in the same household arrange
ments-the barest of rooms; the SIM
plest of fare.
AS If its inmates had purposely
sought to hide themselves from too
inquisitive age, the site for this great
monastery, which extends over six
acres of ground, and contains more
buildings than any other religious COM
munity in the world, has been chosen
half miles from any railway station.
1t is near Partridge Green, fourteen
miles from Brighton and about two
hours ride from London.
Here lives have been devoted solely
to prayer for sinful world; silent
contemplation, and living in a manner
utterly dead to the world. Kings and
governments may pass away; dynas-
ties may be disrupted; London might
be in flames; the close religious COM
munity at Partridge Green would
know nothing about it; or, If they
did, would take no notice.
Believe Prayers Save the World.
It is one of the absolute beliefs of
the Carthusians at this particular mon
astery that they are doing an i'm
mense service to the world by their
life of prayer and self-abnegation. In
a book written by one of their mem
bers the distinct claim is made that
| II they ceased from their prayers for
a moment the end of the world would
come. To quote this writer's own
words, "If tomorrow our lips were
closed, If our discouraged hands were
let fall to the ground, If we gave ur
the painful paths of penance, the
world would be carried away like a
blade of grass by the storms of di
| vine vengeance"
In the first place, one has to forget
that there is anything human about
him, IL he wishes to comply with
| Carthusian requirements. Now ant

their cowls drawn over their heads.
Everything silent, and the effect is
one of awe and grandeur.
1t is in this church that, at IL each
night, is held one of the weirdest and
most impressive of religious ceremon-
les. Just at midnight the great bell
of the monastery begins tolling, and
white-robed figures sweep silently
down the long corridor. Each carries
tiny lamp, taken from its stand in
front of his crucifix, and wends his
way along the cloisters, past the
graveyard, to the church beyond. 4
When every member OF the com
munity is in his allotted place the tiny
lamps are extinguished The only
light remaining is that of the sacristy
lamp hanging in front of the altar
This lamp sheds red glow over the
bending figures of the monks; their
white garments seeming tinged with
fire here and there.
Peculiar Services.
Swaying their bodies slightly to and
| fro, they begin a strange, weird chant
which almost approaches to a wall.
| One side of the church takes up the
song, and the other answers, and thus
the curious chanting goes on for two
hours without interruption. At the
end of that time the tiny lamps are
again lighted by lay brother, and
the monks, in perfect silence, and
without speaking word to each 9TH
err, find their way back along the mar
row passages, each going to his own
cell. Thus the Carthusians expiate, as
they claim, the sins of the world. =
At 6 o'clock they again arise to
prayer, but at this time each monk
says his prayers in his cell. The
booming of the great bell in the clock
tower sets the time for the beginning
of each occupation and prayer. All
the monks in the monastery are engag-
ed in the same prayers at the same
time throughout the numerous build
ings, and thus again peculiar form
of religious worship-all praying to-
gether but apart-is performed. This

upon the row. Seeing this awful thing
happen, seeing the hand OF Nora laid
upon another's arm, Sam sat up as one
deeply smitten with a hurt. Then,
silently, unobserved in the confusion,
he stole away from the fateful scene
and betook himself to his stable,

( CHAPTER xiii.--Continued.
The hours grew older. At the head
OF the hall the musicians manifested
more signs of their inexorable purpose.
A sad protesting squeal came from the
ACTOR dion. The violins moaned, but
were held firm. The worst might be
precipitated at any moment.
But again there was transfer of
the general attention toward the upper
end of the hall. The door once more
opened, and there appeared a little
group of three persons, on whom there
was fixed a regard so steadfast and
so silent that 1t might we'll have been

was lady, also tall, thin, pale, with
wide, dark eyes, which now opened
with surprise that was more than half

also wide, like those of a stag which
sees some new thing, there came a
young woman, whose presence was
