At this sudden outflame of wrath the
two witnesses sank their faces on their
chests, and sat as men crushed. The
Abbot turned his angry eyes away
from them and bent them upon the
accused, who met his searching gaze
with 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, 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. 1t may
be, too, that spoke somewhat shortly
concerning the bran and the beans,
the same being poor provender and
untitled for man of my inches. It
is true also that I did lay my hands
upon this jack-fool Of a Brother Am
brose, though as you can see, did
him little scath. AS regards the maid,
too, it is true that I did heft her over
the stream, she having on her hosen
and shoon, whilst had but my wood

thought shame upon my manhood,
as well as my monkhood, IL I had held
back my hand from her." He glanced
around oc hn
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. 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 a
recreant monk, and one who is un-
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 tbs
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
30 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, comfortless, restless, and

he compared their false brothers exit

find themselves In the same evil ano

moral and reduced his flock to q fitting
state OF docility, he dismissed them
once more to their labors and with

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 pleasant and paternaI
smile as his eyes fell upon his visitor.
He was thin-faced, yellow-haired
youth, rather above the middle size,
comedy and well shapen, with straight
1.-the figure and eager boyish 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 a 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
sombre hue, as befltted one who dwelt
In sacred precincts. A broad leather
strap hanging from his shoulder sup
ported a scrip or satchel such as trav-
oilers 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 a broad pewter medal |
stamped with the image Of Our Lady |
Of Rocamadour.

Abbot. "This is indeed day Of COM
ings and goings. It 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 |
look upon as our choicest blossom"
'You speak too kindly, father" the
youth answered. eff I had my will I |
should never go forth, but should end |
my days here in Beaulieu. It hath |
been my home as far back as my mind |
can carry me, and it Is a sore thing
for me to have to leave it,
Life brings many q cross" said the
Abbot gently. "Who is without them?

we'll as yourself. But there is no help.
I had given my foreword and sacred
promise to your ia her Edric the
Franklin, that at the age Of twenty you
should be sent out into the world to
see for yourself how you liked the
SAVIOR Of it. Seat thee upon the settle,
Alleyne, for you may need rest ere
long"
The youth sat down as directed, but
reluctantly and with diff1dence. The
Abbot stood by the narrow window,
and his long, black shadow fell slant
wise across the rushstrewn floor.
Twenty years ago." he said, "your
father the Franklin Of Minstead, died,

desire and request, however that you

"To my brothers at Minstead. If
he be indeed an ungodly and violent
man there is the more need that I
should seek him out and see whether I
cannot turn him to better ways"

At the top, disclosed a round sinewy
neck, ruddy and corded like the bark
Df the FIR. Thick muscular arms, GOV.
cred with a reddish down, protruded
from the wide sleeves of his habit,
while his white shirt, looped up upon
1one side, gave glimpse of a huge
knotty leg, SCARED and torn with the
scratches Of brambles. With a bow
ito the Abbot, which had In it perhaps
Em0re pleasantly than reverence, the
Sn0yice strobe across to the carved
Fprie-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 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
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 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. i'm
mutable, with drawn face and a
brooding eye.
item, that having been told by
the master Of the novices that he
should restrict his food for two days
to single three-pound loaf of bran
and beans, for the greater honoring
and clarifying of st. Monica, mother
OF the holy Augustine, he was heard

overshadowed by evil. The young
novice, however, appeared to have
other thoughts, for his eyes sparkled
and his smile broadened. It needed
but to add fresh fuel to the fiery mood
of the prelate.
$50 much for thy spiritual punish
ment!" he cried. "But it is to the
grosser feelings that we must turn in
such natures as thine, and as thou art
no longer under the shield of holy
Church there Is the less difficulty.
Ho, there! y-brothers-Francis, Ma
omi, Joseph-seize him and bind his
arms! Drag him forth, and let the
foresters and the porters scourge him
from the precincts!"
AS these three brothers advanced to-
ward him to carry out the Abbot's d.
rection the smile faded from the no.
vices face, like a bull at a batting.
Then, with sudden deep-chested
shout, he tore UP the heavy oaken prize
dieu and poised 1t to strike, taking
two steps backward the while, that
none might take him at a vantage.
BY the black rood of Waltham"
he roared, 'if any knave among you
lays flnger-end upon the edge Of my
gown, I will crush his skull like a fl
bert! With his thick knotted arms,
his laundering voice, and his bristle
Of red hair, there was something so
repellent in the man that the three
brothers flew back at the very glare
Of him; and the two rows of white
monks strained away from him like
poplars in the tempest. The Abbot
only sprang forward with shining
eyes: but the chancellor and the mast
err hung upon either arm and wrestled
him out Of dangers way.
"He Is possessed Of a devil. they

Brother Joachim! Call Hugh Of the
Mill, and woodman Wat. and RaouI
with his arbalest and bolts! Tell
them that we are in fear of our lives! |
Run, run. for the love Of The Virgin!"
But the novice was a strategist as |
we'll as man Of action. Springing
forward, he hurled his unwieldly
weapon at Brother Ambrose. and, as |
desk and monk clattered on to the |
floor together, he sprang through the |
open door and down the winding |
stair. Sleepy old Brother Athanasius,
at the porter's cell. had a fieeting |
vision OF twinkling feet and flying |
skirts: but before he had time to rub
his eyes the recreant had passed the |
lodge, and was speeding as fast as
his sandals could patter along the
Lyndhurst road.

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 a 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

Item, that after sundry japes and
jokes the said Brother John did lift
up the said Mary Sowley and did take,

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 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
-.sked
