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 auickened 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 Popes choir. a
short fat man, who wore a black SOU
tame and a short lace tippet.
Benediction was the only service Of
our church which I 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 l. had been accustomed. and
even the Tantun Ergo and the o
Salutaris Hostia l could not sing.
on this occasion a litany was added
which I had heard before. and then
came a hymn of the Blessed Virgin
which remembered well My mother
sang it herself and taught me 70
sing i. ~ that when the Maestro.

when, after prayers. during the five
minutes of silence for meditation, we
heard the wheels of a carriage going
off outside, we knew what had hap
pened-Alma had gone.
We were rising to so to mass when
the Reverend Mother said;
Children. ] 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 l 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. 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'Netfl. are you awake"
1t was Mildred, and l suppose my
snuffilng 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

The Korean judge dtspenses justice in the open. and by etiquette only the judge can sit. Every one else must stand. excepting the prisoner and his friends, who are forced to remain in a humble kneeling position with bow ed heads Until quite recently these. trials we're always very one sided and sllockingly unjust.

nuela h France. !,

A large proportion of the duels in France end without bloodshed. When the offense is not very serious it is agreed beforehand that the words of command shall be given so rapidly that the dueIists will not have time to take good aim. Sometimes three shots aye exchanged with ~ 3 hit, and then the seconds step in and-.ehonor is satisfied At the word .sFire!" the pistol is Taised instantly, and it must be discharged not later than the word three so the speed with which these words are given regulates the time in which it is possible to take aim. There fore the speed with which they are spoken is agreed upon beforehand, this depending upon the seriousness of the duel. The words are timed with a metronome. If the encounter be very serious this is set at the lowest speed, eighty beats a minute, which gives time for taking accurate aim. A speed of 40 beats a minute allows no time for aiming, and therefore is used when the seconds consider the duel should be made as little dangerous as pos sible.-London Answers.

Speeds of the Stars.

Years of arduous research have re vealed that the stars nearly all move with specific speeds of from ten to thirty miles per second, our stan the sun, moving about thirteen miles per second. But the rapid stars, those having large proper motions, say, of eight or nine seconds of arc per year, are flying at such terrific velocities that they form class by themselves. Their speeds are between 100 and 300 miles per second, the latter being that of the huge sun Arcturus. The attrac- ton of the quantity of miles in all suns that is. bodies that are visible to the eye or to photographic plates is totally unable to cause these inn mense veIocities. This shows that the quantity of invisible matter is far greater chan that in the 100, GOO 900 visible bodies. The quantity of matter able to fmpart speed of 100 to 300 miles per second is far beyond all inn agination. Edgar Lucien Larlin in New York American.
