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 II 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 a 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 buzz and murmur
among the white-frocked brethren at
this grave charge; but the Abbot held
up his long quivering hand. What
thenw said he.
Item, that between Nones and
Vespers on the feast of James the
Less the said Brother John was OBJ
served upon the Brokenhr'st road,
near the spot which is known as
Hatchett's Pond, In converse with a
person of the other sex, being a
maiden of the name Of Mary Sowley,
the daughter of the kings verderer.
Item, that after sundry japes and
Jokes the said Brother John did lift
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 own
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.
"who can vouch for this thing?" he
asked.
"That can T." answered the accuser.
$50 too can Brother Torphyry, who
was with me, and Brother Mark Of the
Spicarium, who hath been so much
stirred and inwardly Il ubled by the
sight that he now lies in a fever

And the woman?" asked the Abbot.
Did she not break into lamentation
and woe that a brother should so de-
mean himself?'
May, she smiled sweetly upon him
and thanked him. / can VoCch II, and
so can Brother Porphyry."
"Canst thou?" cried the Abbot, in
n high, tempestuous tone. "Canst
thou so? Hast forgotten that the five
and-thirtieth rule Of the order Is that
in the presence Of a woman the face
should be ever averted and the eyes
cast down? Hast forgot 1t, 1 say?

and lentils, with double Lauds and
double Mathis, may help ye to re-
membrance OF the laws under which
ye live"
At this sudden outilame Of wrath the
two witnesses sank their faces on their
chests, and sat as men crushed. The
Abbot TUNED his angry eyes away
from them and bent them upon the
accused, who met his searching gaze
with a firm and composed face.
What hast thou to say, Brother
John, upon these weighty things which
are urged against thee?"
Little enough, good father, little
enough" said the novice. For the
matter Of the ale, I had come in hot
from the fields and had scarce got the
taste of the thing before mine eye lit
upon the bottom of the pot. It may
be, too, that l spoke somewhat shortly
concerning the bran and the beans,

from the water. / should have
thought shame upon my manhood,
as well as my monkhood, if I had held
back my hand from her" He glanced
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. "TIe has confessed to
all. IT 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 Horde" he Numbered.
"you have shown yourself during the
two months of your novitiate to be
recreant monk, and one who is UNI
worthy to wear the white garb which
is the outer symbol OF the spotless
spirit. That dress shall therefore be
stripped from thee, and thou shalt be
cast into the outer world without bene-
fit Of clerkship, and without lot or
part in the graces and blessings OF
those who dwell under the care of tho
blessed Benedict. Thou shalt me
back neither to Beaulieu nor to any Of
the oranges Of Beaulieu, and thy
name shall be struck off the scrolls of
the ORDER
The sentence appeared a terrible one
to the older monks, who had become
so used to the safe and regular life of
the Abbey that they would have been
as helpless as children in the outer
world. From their pious oasis they
looked dreamily out at the desert OF
life-a place full Of stormings and
strivings, ComfoTtless. restless. and

from the wide sleeves of his habit,
while his white shirt, topped UP upon
one side, gave Il glimpse of Il huge
knotty leg, SCARED and torn with the
scratches OF brambles. With Il bow
to the Abbot, which had in it 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 Alb
bots own household. His dark eyes
glanced rapidly over the assembly, and
finally settled with a grim and menac-
ing twinkle upon the face of his ac-
cuSer.
The chamberlain rose, and having
slowly unrolled the parchment-scroll.
proceeded to read it out in a thick and
pompous voice, while a subdued rustic

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 a 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
sailed stock-fsh 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 inn
mutable, with a drawn face and a
brooding eye.

the master of the noviceS that he
should restrict his food for two days
to q single three-pOund loaf of bran

novice, however, appeared to have
other thoughts, for his eyes sparkled
and his smile broadened. 1t needed
but to add fresh fuel to the fiery mood
Of the prelate.

IIo, there! lay brothers-Francis, Ma
omi, Joseph-seize him and bind his

SO successful. Yet the Abbot Berg

to allow one bold outbreak to imperii

hold. In a few hot and bitter words
he compared their false brothers exit
TO the expulsion of our first parents
from the garden, and more than limited
that unless reformation occurred
some others of the community might
find themselves in the same evil ano
perilous case. Having thus pointed the
moral and reduced his flock to fitting
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 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 impatience 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,
comedy and well shapen, with straight
1.-the figure and eager boz ish features,
His clear, pensive gray eye, and quick,
delicate expression, spoke of a nature
which had unfolded far from the
boisterous joys and sorrows of the
world. Yet there was q set of the
mouth and a 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
tokens would have confidently pledged
himself that there was native hrmness
and strength underlying his gentle.
monk-bred ways.
The youth was not clad in monastic
garb, but in lay attire, though his
jerkin, cloak and hose were all Of a
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 Staff pointed
and shod with metal, while in the
other he held his Golf or bonnet, which
bore in it's front q 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
ings and goings. 1t is strange that in
one twelve hours the Abbey should
have cast off its foulest we d, and
should now lose what we are fain to

youth answered. eff had my will

Abbot gently. "Who is without them?

GREECIAN : R0MANIAN RUPTURE

ATHENS, June l5.-Foreign Minister
Skouzes explained in the Chamber of
Deputies yesterday, the failure of
Greece's efforts to avoid a rupture with
Roumania which government had de-
clined the Russian proposal to negotiate
the controversy at st. Petersburg or
submit the matter to The Hague tri.
bunal for arbitration and had presented
proposals that were absolutely unac-
ceptable. Then came the demonstration
against the Greek legation at Bucharest
and the insult to the consul. general and
a Greek priest, for which Roumania not
only refused satisfaction, but passed
severe fiscal measures against Greece.
In the face Of this unjustihable attitude
the foreign minister said the govern.
ment decided to break OIL relations. The
chamber adopted a motion approving
the governments declarations.
