when, after prayers. during the five
minutes of silence for meditation, we
heard the wheels of carriage going
off outside, we knew what had hap
pened-Alma had gone.
We were rising to go to mass when
the Reverend Mother said:
Children, l have a word to say to
you, You all know one of our novices
has left us. You also know that one
of our scholars has just gone. 1t Is
my wish that you should forget both
of them, and shall look upon it as
an act of disobedience if any girl in
the convent ever mentions their
names again."
All that day | was in deep distress
and when, night coming, l took my
troubles to bed telling myself / had
now lost Alma also, and it was all
my fault, somebody put her arms
about me in the dark and whis-
pered:
Mary O'Neill, are you awake"
1t was Mildred, and suppose my
snuff1ing answered her, for she said:
You mustn't cry for Alma Lier.
She was no friend of yours, and 1t
was the best thing that ever hap
pened to you when she was turned
out of the convent"

SIXTEENTH CHAPTER.

n CHILD lives from hour to hour,
~ and almost at the same mo-
ment that my heart was made
desolate by the loss of my two
friends 1t was quickened to a new
interest
Immediately after the departure of
Sister Angela and Alma. we were all
gathered in the meeting room for our
weekly rehearsal OF the music Of the
Benediction--the girls. the novices,
the nuns, the Reverend Mother, and a
Maestro from the Pope's choir, a
short fat man, who wore black SOU
tame and short lace tippet.
Benediction was the only service Of
our church which ] knew, being the
one my mother loved best and could
do most Of for herself In the solitude
of her invalid room, but the form
used in the convent differed from that
to which had been accustomed, and
even the Tantum Ergo and the o
Salutaris Hostia could not sing.
on this occasion a litany was added
which / had heard before, and then
came a hymn OF the Blessed Virgin
which ! remembered well. My mother
sang 1t herself and taught me TO
sing 1t, 10 that when the Maestro.

they found the nuns in great agita-
ton over an incident of still deeper
gravity-Father Giovanni also had
disappeared!
A convent school is like a shell on
the shore of a creek, always rumbling
with the rumor of the little sea il
lives under; and by noon the girls,
who had been pa1pitating with curl
osiety, though they knew everything
that had happened-how at in the
morning Father Giovanni and Sister
Angela had been seen to come out
of the little door which connected
the garden with the street; how az
Z they had entered a clothing en-
porium in the Corso, where going in
at one door as priest and nun they
ha6 come out at another as ordinary
civilians; how at they had taken
the first train to Civilt Vecchia, ar
irving in time to catch steamer
sailing at 10, and how they were now
on their way to England.
BY some mysterious instinct of
their sex the girls had gathered with
glistening eyes in front of the chap
lain's deserted quarters, where Alma
leaned against the wall with her in
steps crossed and while the others
talked she smiled, as much to say, 4

and being now quite certain that
was the sole cause of Sister Angela's
misfortune, | was sitting under the
tree in the middle of the garden.
when Alma, surrounded by her usual
group Of girls, came down on me,
whats thls?" she said. Margaret
Mary crying? Feeling badly for
Sister Angela, is she? Why, you lit
tie silly, you needn't cry for her. She's
having the time of her life, she isl"
At this the girls laughed and shud-
dered, as they used to do when Alma
told them stories, but just at that
moment the nun with the stern face
(she was the mother of the novices)
came up and said solemnly:
alma Lier, the Reverend Mother
wishes to speak to you"
"To me?" said Alma in tone of
surprise. but at the next moment she
went off jauntily
Hours passed and Alma did not RS
turn, and nothing occurred until

of the novices came again and taking
me by the hand said

1t was Sister Angela, and she was
turning away, but called her back,
and she knelt by my bed and whis-
pered:
"Hushi / know what has happened,
but I don't blame you for It,"
1 noticed that she was wearing
ter outdoor cloak, and that she was
breathing rapidly, just as she did on
the night she came from the chap
lain's quarters, and when I asked II
she was going anywhere she said
yes, and If l ever heard anything
against Sister Angela I was to think
the best of her.
But you are so good :"
mo, am not good. l am very
wicked. I should never have thought
of being a nun, but I'm glad now
that I'm only a novice and have
never taken the vows"
After that she told me to go to
sleep, and then she kissed me again,
and thought she was going to cry,
but she rose hurriedly and left the
room.
Sister Angela Gone.
Next morning after the getting up
bell had been rung, and had reused
myself to full consciousness, l found
that four or five nuns were standing
together near the door of the DOR
mitory talking about something that
had happened during the night-Sis-
ter Angela had gone!
Half an hour afterwards when. full
of this exciting event the girls went
busting down to the meeting room

when we entered the Reverend
Mothers room, for Alma was there,
sitting by the stove, and close beside
her, with an angry look, was the
stout lady in furs whom l had seen
in the carriage at the beginning If
the holidays.
Don't be afraid" said the Rev
erend Mother, and drawing me to
her side she asked me to tell her
what 1 had told Alma about Sister
Angela
repeated our conversation as near
ly as | could remember it, and more
than once Alma nodded her head as
if in assent, but the Reverend Moth
er's face grew darker at every word
and, seeing this, said:
But if Sister Angela did anything
wrong I'm sure she was very sorry,
for when she came back she said,
Father of all mankind, forgive all
sinners E"
YES, yes, that will do" said the
Reverend Mother, and then she
handed me back to the Mother OF
the Novices, telling her to warn me
to say nothing to the other children.
Alma did not return to us at din
ner or at recreation, or at chapel
(when another chaplain said vespers)
or even at 9 o'clock, when we went
to bed. But next morning, almost as
soon as the Mother of the Novices
had left the dormitory, she burst into
the room, saying:
I'm leaving this silly old convent
girls. Mother has brought the car
riage, and I've only come to gather
up my belongings"
Nobody spoke, and while she wrap
ped up her brushes and combs and
her nightdress, she joked about Sis

then about Mildred Bankes. whom
she called Reverend Mother Mil

Don't Cry for Her. "
Then she tipped up her mattress,
and taking a novel from under it she
threw the book on my bed, saying:
Margaret Mary will have to be
your story-teller now. By-by, girlsl"
Nobody laughed. For the first time
Almas humor had failed her. and
when we went downstairs 10 the
meeting room it was with sedate and
quiet steps.
The nuns were all there, with their
rosaries and crosses. looking as calm
as II nothing had occurred, but the
