CHAPTER I.

The great bell OF Beaulieu was ring
ing Far away through the forest
| might be heard its musical clangor
and swell. Peat cutters on Blackdown
and fishers upon the Exc heard the
distant tbrobbing and falling upon the
sultry summer air. II was a common
sound in those parts-as common a.
the chatte of the jays and tie boom
Ing Of the bittern. Yet the fishers and
the peasants raised tier heads and
looked questions at each other, for the
Angelus had already gone and Vespers
was still far OF. Why should the
great bell of Beaulieu toll when the
shadows were neither ,ort nor long?
All round the Abbey tie monks
were trooping in. Under the long,
green-paved avenues of gnarled oaks
and OF lichened beeches the white
robed brothers gathered to the sound.
II had been no sudden call. 4 swift
messenger had the night ;efore sped
round 10 the outlying dependencies OF
the Abbey. and had left the summons
for every monk to be back I'm the
cloisters by the third hour after noon
tide So urgent a message had not
been issued within the memory OF old
Athanasius, who had
cleaned the knocker since the year
after the Battle OF Bannackburn.
Meanwhile. in the broad an lofty
chamber set apart for occasions OF
import, the Abbot himself was pacing
impatlently backward and forward,
with his long. white, nervous hands
clasped I'm front of hiL. His thin,
thoughtworn features and sunken,
haggard cheeks bespoke one who had
indeed beaten down that inner foe
whom every man must face, but had
none the less suffered sorely in the
contest. In crushing hi passions he
had well-nigh crushed himself. Yet,
frail as was his person, there cleaned
out ever and anon from under his
dropping brows fash of fierce energy
which recalled to mems minds that he
came of n fighting stock, and that even
now his twin brother. Sir Bartholomew
Berghersh. was one of the most IA
nous of those stern warriors who had
planted the Cross of st George before
the gates of Paris. With lips COM
pressed and clouded brow, re strobe
up and down the oaken floor, the very
impersonation of asceticism, while
the great bell still Numbered and
changed above his head. At last the
uproar died away in three last meas
ured throbs, and ere their echo had
ceased the Abbot struck a small gong
which summoned lay-brother TO his
presence.
"Where is the master of the nov
ices?"
"He is without, most holy father"
~Send him hither."
The sandaJled feet clattered over the
wooden floor, and the iron-bound
door creaked upon its hinges. In a
few moments il opened again to ad-
NIT a short, square monk with a
heavy, composed face and authoi-
itative manner.

this matter be disposed of with as
little scandal as may be; and yet II is
needful that the example should be a
public one"

master. This mention of a woman
may turn their minds from their pious
meditations TO worldly and evil
thoughts"

The Abbot was left to himself once
more, and bent his thin gray face over
his Illuminated breviary. So he re-
manned while the senior monks ifiled
slowly and sedately into the chamber,
seating themselves upon the long
oaken benches which lined the wall
on either side. At the further end, In
two high chairs as large as that OF the
Abbot, though hardly so elaborafeiy
carved, sat the master of the novices
and the chancellor, the latter broad
and portly priest. with dark, mirth-
full eyes and a thick Outgrowth or
crisp black hair all round his tonsured
head Between them stood a lean,
white-faced brother who appeared 10
be i'll at ease, shifting his feet from
side to side and tapping his chin with
the long parchment roll which he held
in his hand. The Abbot, from MS
point of vantage, looked down on the

one feature of this report is a series
of tables accompanied with outline
maps designed 10 show graphically the
magnitude of sugar production In that
nart of the country lying west OF the
Mississippi River. These indicate that
the estimated production of sugar
west of the Mississippi in 1906 will ex-
coed by $4,000 tons the amount OF
sugar consumed in the same area In
1900 (the latest year for which we
have reliable census figures). The
estimate of production for 1906 Is
made by assuming that all the beet
sugar factories. including 10 new
ones. will run at their full capacity for
campaigns of 100 days, and that the
cane sugar product for 1906 will be th3
same as that of last year"

10 produce the maximum yield OF
which the land Is capable. n rev
years ago the man who would have
said that 10 acres of farm land was a
sufficient area for a man TO make
good living from would have been
looked upon as crank. Now there
are thousands of little 10 acre and even
= acre farms from which men are
making more money than many
others are from attempting to till 20
times that amount. That 10 ocres,
under favorable conditions, will pro
duce a living is recognized in a bill
WI ich has Just been passed by the
House Of Representatives and which
will likely Ice passed by the Senate at
this session. Ii Is an amendment TO
the National Irrigation Law. Under
that law the homestead entry upon
public land irrigated by the govern
ment ranges from 40 TO 1G0 acres, to
be determined 10y the Secretary of the
Interior. according to the conditions Of
the reclamation. Ii was recognized,
at the time of the passage of the law
in ")2, hat in some sections of the
country 10 acres was an ample area
| for farm. Ii is now seen, and adj
mitted in the bill above mentioned
that 10 acres is not too small a sub
division under favorable conditions.
| Another amendment was recently
made TO the irrigation law allowing
the government To establish town-sites
and divide the land hereunder up
into various sized tracts ranging
| from town-lots to 10 acre allOtments.
When this bill which Is now before the
Senate becomes law IL will there
fore be possible for the government,
in any of its irrigation projects to di-
vide and sub-divide its land into
town and farm units ranging all the
way from lots up to 100 acre farms.
NOD1L RURAL SETTLEMENTS.
This plan will doubtless develop
some of the finest examples OF pros
perous rural communities to he found
anywhere i'm the world. Many or the
best developed sections of some or
the western states include great
numbers of little farms and fruit
ranches of =, 10 and 20 acres each,
where the appearance Is almost like
the outskirts of village. With such
dense rural population there is an
ideal combination of practically all
the advantages Ia be found in city
life and the splendid results Of country
work and living. Houses. In such 4
community. are almost within stone
throw Of each other. the population Is
sufficiently large to support splendid
roads. good school and churches, water
and lighting improvements. good
sewerage. etc. Thus the lonesome
ness, the isolation and the many I'M
attractive features of the big farm dis
appear while yet the joys and the
wholesomeness of country life are all
present.
The report accompanying this bill
states that since the passage OF the
irrigation act. II has developed that
on some Of the lands to be irrigated,
particularly those in fruit and truck
farming districts, less than 40 acres
Is needed for the support Of the family,
and I'm fact experience has demon
strated that the Average farmer Is
more prosperous on.a small than on a
large irrigated farm. In view Of this
condition OF affairs II has been deemed
wise to reduce to 10 acres the mini
mum entry which may be allowed.
