American Chivalry.

The old stories of the Holy Grail bore the essence of chivary because they rec ognized that through the soul of a woman a man can sometimes behold his God or at least far-off fringe of splendor from worlds unmapped, says a writer in Octo- Der Appletons And because this Is the true spirit of chivalry whose most picturesque manifestation was in the Middle Ages, no dusty prose of a mechanical age can ever destroy it. Thanks to high Heaven who created people to love and admire and be glad in each other, chivalry still flourshes on the earth though the forms in which it is embodied differ from those earlier ones as the dress of today differs from the old knightly armor. American men are d high pitched, hard-driven creation, and when they are racing for ferryboat to- catch which may mean gain of hund-i reds. they cannot stop to kiss the hand of the lady who waves her pink paraSol at them. But doubtless if they were pinned down to it they would confess that their leisure moments were the more bles- sed because of that same lady or an other equally charming.
 It is undenably true that the general rush and scamper of a highly nervous age are not conductive to those gentle manners which embroider life all over and hide its gauntness, but manners are of the heart and soul and the composite soul of American men manages to remain despite the reign of materialism, kind, generous, helpful to the weak, and sus- ceptible of that entertainment which is deepest near the hearth fire and haunts the presence of the woman whom It loves.

and to do his best to keep the enemy from burning the bridge He posted himself on the top of a bank underneath the bridge and awaited the attack. He held his gun at a ready and when one of the party advanced with a lighted torch, prepared to climb up to the woodwork of the bridge, Keelin shot him dead in his tracks. The survivors fired a volley at the solitary guard, and with a wild yell, made a rush for the bank Though Keelin was wounded three times by the volley- in the hip, in the left arm and in the side-he bravely stood his ground, and not having time to reload his muzzle-loading musket, he drew his big knife and await ed the onset. Fortunately for him the ascent was narrow, and the attacking party could only climb up the steep bank one or two at a time. With his knife he killed two of the invaders and wounded six others, hurling them gashed and bleeding down the embankment. Once he stumbled while aiming a blow at one of the party, and before he could recover big fellow made vicious stroke at him with a heavy knife. He threw up his left arm to ward off the blow from his head and the blow several his wrist, besides infiictng an ugly gash.
 With all these gaping and bleeding wounds the brave fellow stood his ground, fighting with the courage of a Bayard,

 But when he rushed up the bank and was confronted with the same dread weapon gory with the blood of his sub ordinates and after receiving two vicious cuts he too. retired, calling off his men. They left the place hastily, leaving three dead companions on the ground. but car rying off their wounded They thought that a force of Confederates was en- camped in a mile so up the river, and probably expected them to be attracted to the scene by the sound of firing
 Keeln, desperately wounded as he was, remained at his post until relieved. He bound up the bleeding stump of his arm and staunched the blood in his half dozen other wounds as best he could, receiving no medical attention till after daylight next morning.
 After he recovered from his wounds he continued to serve in the army to the end of the war, notwithstanding the loss of his left hand.

Little is Known of Nuns.

As the nuns never go beyond the con vent walls and communicate with the out side world only through a woman who does not belong to the order, little Is gen orally known of them. In fact, it is al- most impossible to learn about their daily life, and the facts set down here were gathered only after great effort.
 The order has a legendary existence far back in the time of the Prophet Ell jah, who, it is said. founded the order on Mt. Carmel. Among his disciples was Obadiah, whose wife became the first abbess, after taking a VOW of chastity. The first historical record of the order, however, is in 11S5, when a Greek tray eler visiting the Holy Land found mo- mastery on Mt. Carmel and told of its ex- istence to the crusaders Becoming known the order spread to Europe. St. Louis, the great French king and crusader, es- tablishing Carmelite house in France.
 The Carmelite nuns, however, did not come into great prominence until the time of St. Theresa who was born In Avila, Spain, in 1515. When she entered the or der as a girl, the monastica1 habits of austerity which characterized the Middle Ages were becoming lax, and she found that the sisters of the famous order were indulging in luxuries not always in con formity with the rules of the order. She was of far different turn of mind, and spent her days in fasting and penance. Still she could not help seeing the laxness about her. and she spent many years at- tempting reform. But 1t was not until 1862, when she had been in the convent for 30 years that she was able to bring about the reforms she sought. She suc- ceeded in obtaining papal bull. which permitted her and several other Carmel ite nuns to leave the conspicuous home of the order and seek a secluded refuge In quiet street

Called the Barefoot Nuns.

The little convent of the Reformed Car melites grew, and, on account of tho extreme simplicity in which they lived, they were called the Barefoot Nuns. The most severe rules that could be found in the history of the order were adhered to. and. in fact, have been practiced ever since. Never after that were fast days passed over: nor were there expeditions outside of the convent walls, nor indul- sence in the small luxuries of life. The nuns slept on straw and ate no meat.
