THE TRAPP|ST MONK
sINGuLARLY SEVERE DISCIPLINE
 UNDER WHICH HE LIVES.
Monastery Near Rome Where Vows of Silence, Pe2ance, seif-denlaI and Work Are Taken by
 the inmates.

Tn that part of the Agro Romano, where malarial levers reign supreme, at short distance from the Via Ostensi high road, appears in its sol emn solitude the Abbey of Ire Fon- tane, at the end of magnificent ave- nue. It is a fit place for meditation and melancholy.
 A Trappist never speaks-such Is the rule. His voice is only heard, monotonous and weak, almost drowned by the notes of the organ which ac- company his morning psalms or even ing prayers in the large church of the convent, with it's huge arcades and high, dark ceiling Trappists do not cultivate art. In their churches are no imposing tombs nor do they adorn their choirs with those fine stalls that are masterpieces of wood-carving and inlaid work. and which are to be ad- ] rnired in most abbeys of the Benedic- 1 tines. The Trappists instead sit in 1 poor stalls, the boards of which are roughtly put together.
 The order of the Trappists is most l strict, and requires men having a true vocation and strong will to persevere i in it. Silence is undoubtedly one of the greatest punishments that can be inflicted, even temporarily, upon pris- oners; we may therefore guess how much strength of will and self-denial are required to keep it spontaneously during a whole lifetime. But this is not all. The rule of fasting is peremp- tory and is also observed in case of sickness, unless the doctor finds it necessary to order different diet. The cooking does not afford many re sources, as meat, eggs, and even fish are excluded--thus their meals are purely vegetarian. Dinner consists of a soup, vegetable, and fruit; supper of l potatoes, salad, and water-without speaking of all the fasting days, dur ing which they only take little bread. 1 It could not, indeed, be otherwise, for the orders of the Trappists, or, rather, the order of the Cistercians, of which the Trappists are branch, was found- ed for penance, self-denial, and work.
 The bed of a Trappist consists of a plain pallet without any bedclothes
 for he goes to bed dressed, wearing his everyday clothes. At two o'clock in the morning bell is heard calling ! the monks to church. In the dim light of flickering lanterns they go down tc church to recite, in chorus, the sever penitential psalms.
 After tho morning prayers have beer recited, they go to bed again, but no for long; at dawn the bells are heard through the convent. It is time to g
 to church again to sing Maths. After { wards the Trappist attends to house
 hold affairs, and then sits down tc
 breakfast. plain meal consisting c.
 a piece of bread and hot beverage
 But the vineyards and the orchards oi the convent are of an abundance which contrasts greatly with the poverty oi the monks existence. The Trappists
 cultivate very extensive property
 where fruits of all kinds grow plenti
 fully, the grapes being most abundant,

 Gathering up her skirts and slipping of her shoes Veronica crept to the head of the short flight of stairs that led to the kitchen. Andrews had left the lamp burning. and by its dim light Veronica saw a man crawling in i through the window. She held her breath in deadly terror while the in- truder wriggled his way on to a table and thence to the ground.

 "Eh, miss, is that you?" came a sleepy voice. LOT! believe should have been asleep in another moment" ! Veronica gave little gasp at this. That anyone should sleep under such conditions--they two alone in the house and storm bowling outside appeared to her very marvellous. ".,'m not frightened either, An drews." she remarked presently.
