ground floor at the back. opening on
to the garden and the pine forest that

What happened after that nobody

the night the servants heard two pis-

was found dead-shot to the heart
through an open window as she lay in
my fathers bed.
The authorities tried in vain to
trace the criminal. Only one person
had any idea OF his identity. That
was my father and in his fierce anger
he asked himself what he ought to do
in order to punish the man who had
killed his daughter.
Then a strange thing happened.
On the day before the funeral the
young musician walked into my fla
theirs room. His face was white and
wasted, and his eyes were red and
swollen. He had come to ask If he
might be ALLOW ed to be one of those to
carry the coffin. My father consent

The man is punished enough

said:

TWENTIETH CHAPTER.

TN the late afternoon of the same
day we were sitting together for
the last time on the terrace of
the Reverend Mothers villa.
1t was a peaceful evening, sweet
and holy time. Not a leaf was stir
ring, not a breath OF wind was in the
air; but the voice of a young boy,
singing love song, came up from
somewhere among the rocky lodges
OF the vineyards below, and while the
bell of the monastic church behind us
was ringing the Ave Maria the far
off bell of the convent church at Con
zano was answering from the other
side of the lake-like angels calling
to each other from long distances in
the sky.
MARY" said the Reverend Mother.
Il want to tell you story. 1t is the
story of my own life-mine and my
sisters and my fathers"
I was sitting by her side and she
was holding my hand In her lap and
patting 1t, as she had done during the
interview of the morning.
They say the reason so few women
become nuns is that a woman is too
attached to her home to enter the
holy life until she has suffered ship
wreck in the world. That may be So
with most women. 1t was not so.with

Shot for Father.

Frank J., who was transferred from
the old to the new prison last Saturday had
been at the old place SO years. The doors
of the prison were closed on Frank before
six-seventh (6-0 of the present inmates
were born.
1t is repor ed that two girls, one English
and the other an American engaged in a
hair pulling and scratching match for the
hand of an English Count. Now, l
am an American who would climb an eighty
foot pole entwined with barb wire to kiss
Old Glory, but in this instance am forced
to say that it is small loss which of the
girls in this fight took the Count.
When read of preacher who ties a
matrimonial knot in show to adve tise the
place. am forced to think that he has
missed his calling. Such man would be
right in his elements, stationed at the en-
trance of side show making spiel to the
gulible rubes to come in and see the fst
woman, the headless rooster, the lady with
chin woodlets, and the educated pig that
plays whist
Hereafter when the teams are announced
in the columns of the Mirror that are going
to play the following Saturday every mem
Der should start for the diamond as soon as
the signal is given to break ranks, so as to
avoid delay in starting and the team that is
on the outs, should get in the field and in
their right positions at once. Will try here
after to have it announced what team is to
bat and the one on the out through the col
umns of the Mirror when the announce
ment is made of the teams that are to play.
Arrangements will try and be made so tina,
two benches will be placed on each side OF
the home plate for the ball players only, SO
that it will be easier for Mac, the scorer
to get the batters up promptly.
