father, but even yet am at loss to
know how he could have cast me
away so lightly. Was it merely that
he wanted peace for his business and
saw no chance of securing it in his
own home except by removing the
chief cause of Aunt Bridget's jeal-
ousy? Or was it that his old grudge
against Fate for making me a girl
made him wish to rid himself of the
sight of me?
I do not know. can not say. But
in either case I try in vain to see how
he could have thought he had right,
caring nothing for me. to tear me
from the mother who loved me and
had paid for me so dear: or how he
could have believed that because he
was my father, charged with the care
of my poor little body, he had control
over the little bleeding heart which
was not his to make to suffer.
He is my father-God help me to
think the best of him.

THIRTEENTH CHAPTER.

n r half past SIX in the morning l
~ was awakened by the loud
ringing of the gettingup bell,
and as soon as l could rouse myself
from the deep sleep of childhood |
saw that a middle-aged nun with a
severe face was saying a prayer. and
that all the girls in the dormitory
were kneeling in their beds while they
made the responses.
A few minutes later, when the girls
were chattering and laughing as they
dressed, making the room Jingle with
twittering sounds like a tree full Of
linnets in the spring, a big girl came
up to me and said
81 am Mildred Bankes and Sister
Angela says l am to look after you
to-day"
She was about Is years of age, and
had a long, plain-fea tured face which
reminded me of one OF my fathers
horses that was badly used by the
farm boys; but there was something
sweet in her smile that made me like
her instantly.
She helped me to dress in my
brown velvet frock, but said that one
of her first duties would be to the lay
sisters who made the black habits
which all The girls in the convent
wore
II was still 80 early that the dark
ness of the room was Just broken by
pale shafts of light from the win
dows, but l could see that the chill
dren of my own age were only seven
or eight altogether, while the major
tiy of the girls were several years
