that were possible mutil sneh re
straining Influenoe. It was a foolish
thing Uido, to confide In thin friend,
Iho good Sister Hlldah, hut there aro
times when to share a grief with an
other east o(T a jwrt of Iho burden,
nd aymimthy In sweet for tho soul.
Thero aro time when wo must hnvu a
comforter. After tho light was ex
tinguished In tho dormitory, Zelda had
topped to Hlldoh's cot, which was side
by Ride with hers, and putting her arms
around her nook, had whispered to her
tho thing which had happoncil and tho
terrlblo consequences alio feared. "If
tho bishop absolved you, you have
naught to fear, for thcro In no higher
authority," wan tho assuring response.
Perhaps Zelda, of all tho slstors that
morning assembled, wan tho only ono
who feared punlHhmont. Tho others
argued that as the priests participated,
and were primarily the caiiHo, and had
repeatedly grankul pardons, the matter
would not bo referred to, They were
miserably mistaken. Tho fooo of the
uporior was dark as a storm-cloud, and
they saw that evil portended. (
"Have you questioned your con-i
sciences?" she aHked In a reproving
and exultant voice. "Do you find no
cause for reproof In tho outrageous pro
ceedings of last evening?"
There was a painful silence every
one, as It wore, holding their breath In
their luspenso.
"I knew you would blame tho priests,'
aho continued, "but know you tho
priest must never bo censured. You
tempted them, as Kvo tempted Adam
and brought sin and death into the
Jorld. Sho was punished, Just as yot!
will be punished, and I am thankful
God has given mo tho power to Inflict
such chastisement on you now as will
save you from years In purgatory. Sis
ter Eudocla, as hitherto the most ex
emplary, I begin with you; and for the
aake of Jesus you will have tho cap, and
then be retired to a cell, with ono loaf
of bread a day, until I release or further
punish you. May you pray unceasingly
and find forgiveness." 'I
The cheeks of Eudoela whitened, and
the remained motionless, her fingers
clutching her beads. f
Tho superior then called ten sinters
by name, who for tho next month were
to kneel on peas, during services, and
wear peas In their shoos. Sho mea
tloned ten moro who were to be iiub-
jeeU'd to the gag every morning 'for a
month, and if they resisted, a month
for each resistance,
Bhe paused and glowered on tho
shrinking sisterhood, helpless as lambs
In the hands of the butcher. Were tho
vials of her wrath spent? Far from It,
for tho had reserved until tho last tho
essence of her cruelty. The pause was
to emphasize tho coming sentence.
Hero, however, a new element was
unexpectedly introduced. Sister 1111
dah aroso, She bad given her oath to
reveal to tho superior all secrets en
trusted to her. Would she betray her
friend, or forfeit her oath? Religion
had so warned and blighted her sense
of right and justice that she had yielded,
and now aroso to betray tho most
fcacred obligation.
'I have questioned my conaclence,

gasping for breath, such was her con
straint, "and find that I have committed
sin, I have listened to Sister Stantia,
who told mo that the bishop sought to
kiss her and she struck him!" An awful
silence reigned. The superior was too
surprised to reply. She now had cause,
plain to all, for making tho penance of
unheard-of severity. She aroxo majes
tically and exclaimed:
"It is well, Stater Hlldah, that you
have relioved your mind. Such a secret
kept would have sank you to the lowest
hell. You do not wish me, I am sure,
not to give you penance. You will have
only bread for tho month, and for drink
I will give you tho water of my bath.
Blessed for Its especial holiness, it may
cleanse you of sin."
"Sister Stantia, arise!"
The trembling girl could not do so;
the scene before her grew dark and
whirled around until she clutched the
seat to prevent falling.
"You cannot stand under the load of
your sins? I am not surprised. You
have been convicted of lying and more,
against a priest worse, a thousand
times worse against the bishop." The
Devil only could have invented this
falsehood. The father cf lies, only,
could apeak thuc dt. " ' "' led

euphonious manner of sh aking of the
execution of tho lnioHed sciiUmhms.
Homo, when she summoned a heretic
to tho flames, softly said there "should
Iw no shedding of blood!"
There was no necessity of tho rule
imposing silence, for a shadow rested
gloomily on tho minds of all those poor
sisters, and the lecture droned by tho
nun was not heard. They arose at tho
signal and marched Into the chapel.
Tho sentences were to follow In the
order reoelvod, and two sisters were to
"seize Eudoela and drag her before tho
Judgment seat." It Is strange to record
It will test the credulity of tho reador,
and yet It Is true, that these sisters, so
loving, refined and gentle, had become
so degraded by Ahclr religious belief
and training 1 will not say education
that they arose with the alacrity of
furies, seized tho unresisting girl, and
literally dragged her to a seat In front
of tho platform on which tho superior
sat. At a sign another sister brought
tho cap, It was made of heavy leather,
shaped like the crown of tho head, and
thickly set on tho Inner surface with
needle points. As tho sisters' hair Is
cut short, the cap fits closely, and is
drawn tight by a strap under the chin.
It Is a horrible punishment and quickly
grows unendurable While tho two
sisters held Eudocla's arms, the other
adjusted the cap, and drew tho strap
with all her strength. A moan of
anguish escaped tho victim.
"The gag," called tho superior, great
ly enjoying the scono.
A gag was brought, an iron bar with
rings at each end having straps which,
when tho bar was placed in tho mouth,
could bo buckled back with a force sufll
cient to dislocate the jaw. Tho sister
roughly forced tho bar into Eudocla's
mouth, and drew up the straps until the
blood oozing from tho corners of the
quivering lips trickled down to her
chin, and dropped on her bosom. Human
nature could not endure this terrible
pain, and the victim suffered from con
vulsions and happily became uncon
scious. Then tho instruments were re
moved, and tho sister executioners
taking her up in her chair carried her
down into tho cellar and left her on the
floor of tbe cell assigned her, to recover
as she might.
"May this bo a lesson to you," said
tho superior. "Sister Stantia, stand
before mo, and kiss the floor in token
of olstdlonce."
Zclda was unable to arise; her physi
cal powers utterly failed under the
strain imposed on her. The sisters
each sido of her carried her to tho place
designated, and loosing their grasp sho
sank to the floor.
"Carry her to her cell," the superior
harshly commanded, and the sisters
again grasping her arms, carried or
rather dragged her away.
With a fierce glance at the ten sisters
sentenced to the gag, she said: "There
will bo interesting exercises for you to
morrow morning. Let us invoke the
presence of the Holy Master, and recol
lect that it is inflicted for your good,
out of the full heart of the messed
Jesus."
The reader may turn with disgust
from these pages and exclaim: "Such
horrible things should not bo described,
if they are true; and if not, tho fancy
should not be allowed indulgence.
Q ulto true. I agree that such detail
are horrible, that they tax credulity to
the utmost At the same time they are
true, and for that reason there is a
necessity of presenting tho facts with
all the vividness words can portray.
Tho diclosures that have been made
have been Ignored. The press subsi
dized; or for fear of Catholic influenco
has cast obloquy on those nuns and
priests who have dared to tell a part of
the dreadful story. The half cannot bo
told. Imagine the other half, which
the writer has not described, because
too shocking for expression.
CHAPTER X.
The month's sentence had nearly ex
pired, yet no appeal for mercy had been
made or respite given. The superior;

The conversation was hen' Interrupt
ed by the entrance, of Prantx. After
salutation he said: "1 have lui-n

I have not come Is-fore. 1 have a desire.
to see Sister Eudoela, ami do not II nd
her with the others."
"Most unfortunaU'ly for you," replied
Iho superior, sweetly; "tht! slater K.u
(liK'la this morning cainu to me and said
sho had Uuin sinning In thought a re
markably constUentlous sister sho is
and desired my Mrinlsslon to pass tin
day in a cell by herself, without inter
ruption."
'I will be no Intruder to her. I must
see her."
"Y'ou would not Ihi so rude as to break
over a lady'B express command, I trust,
Father Prantz?" sweetly asked the su-
perlor.
"That would depend upon tho ur
gency. 'loll mo where sho Is."
"Nay. If you do not know tho rules
of politeness, I will teach you."
"Tell mo, or I will search for her."
"Search, If you please. Sho is beyond
your finding," ropliod tho superior, de
fiantly..
Tho keen wit of Prantz told him that
dofoat. was in that direction. With the
tact of a diplomat he replied:
"Very well, tomorrow will do. I
stand corrected by your judgment, as
usual. I will come tomorrow; and say
to Eudoela, I grant her pardon for all
sins committed, and tncro must foe no
penance for tho day."
"Now you are a gentleman," said the
superior, approvingly. "I will Inform
tho fair devotee"
As the door closed on Prantz, ho
burst out with uncontrolled laughter:
"Was not that adroit? I threw him off
completely. Yet tomorrow," she added
thoughtfully "tomorrow well, that
may bo trusted to bring its own up!-
Frantz was not satisfied, yet there
was no means of gaining information.
To question the sisters was useless, for
they would not dare confide in him, even
had they not received Instructions from
the superior. Ho moodily walked up
and down the hall between the rooms,
and after a time went into the sitting-
room where the sisters we sewing. Ho
glanced over tho busy groups, silently
making various articles for the fair Mum
to 1x3 held. Eudoela not being there,
the place had no attraction, and its
busy life was barren and lonely. Ho
went out and began his walk in the pas
sage. Suddenly there was confusion In
the room he had left. The rules against
conversation wore defied by a bedlam of
voices, and soon some sisters came iniar
Ing tho seemingly lifeless form of Hll
dah to the dormitory. They told him
she had been so reduced by tho Imposed
ponanco that sho had fainted. It was an
occurrence too common to create more
than a passing interest. The Sister
Hlldah might live or dio life was not
valuable to the nuns, who saw release
and heaven in death. Soon a novice
came and told him that the sister was
sick unto death, and wished to seo him.
It was his duty to visit tho dying and
receive confessions and prepare them
for the next llfo. He repaired to the
couch where the sister was lying. Her
voice was scarcely audible, and ho bent
low that ho might catch every sound.
Then sho told him that she was famish
ing", that she loathod the bread and
could not drink the water in which the
superior bathed her foot. Oh! for a
glass of water," sho cried.
"You shall have it, all you want," re
plied Frantz. He gave her a brimming
cup, which sho drank eagerly and was
revived. Then she related how she had
betrayed Zelda, because her sense of
duty compelled her to do so, and all the
dreadful events of that day of punish
ment. Frantz during the recital was
silent, but his strong form writhed with
suppressed emotion, and there was a
dangerous gleam in his eyes. He must
be calm. If ho rescued Eudoela his
thoughts and designs must bo con
cealed.
"Where, Is Eudocla now?" he in
quired.
"Sho and Zelda are in the cells in tho
cellar. You cannot seo them, for tho
doors have not been opened since they
were locked on them, and there is only
a small aperture where their food and
drink is banded to them."
He groaned at this revelation of tho
suffering of ono dearer than life to him.
"Have I sinned in confessing this?
Did I not sin in betraying Zelda?"
"Sister, I cannot tell! The church
and human nature are in conflict I am
nay, my sister you have not sinned.

"I am not Eudocla, but for (Sod's
suko let me broatho the air once mom;
the free, free air, only for an hour, one
hour, and I will willingly die!"
"Who are you?" asked Prantz.
"I have forgotten. I think they called
me Francis. I do not know. I am lost
here; my name Is lost. The rats gnaw
my hair when I lie down; they bite my
feet when I stand. Oh! If you have a
spark of pity, lot mo bo free for ono
hour, and then kill me!"
Tho noble soul of Frantz rebelled
against such cruelty, but ho was power
less. A word of objection would be re
ported, and he condemned for a heretic;
that would be tho result, and no change,
no good to tho sufferers.
With a feeling of self-reproach he
passed by tho cell, the Inmate of which
still Implored. Tho darkness was dense,
and his lamp burned dimly in tho damp
air. He looked cautiously urotind. He
was In a narrow passage, which entered
through an arehwuy a largo chamber.
The ground was white, and ho suw a
largo pile of this white substance Ikj
neath a barrel opening in tho wall,
through which it hod boon through, In
tho center of this vaulted chamber was
a pit, Ihe bottom of which was not vis
ible by tho light of the lamp. lie com.
prohendod it all. He had heard of this
Gehenna, this place of dead bones, be
fore, but its locality bad 1 ten a secret
unknown to hlrn. In that convent, with
its hundreds of inmates, if a member,
died, there was no physician called to
give a certificate. No Inquest was held,
no public services. Unknown they lived,
unknown they died. They might be
burled in tho convent yard, if desirable;
they might bo thrown into this pit if It
were moro desirable that Identity bo
utterly lost. Two spades stood there,
thrust into tho white pile of quicklime,
ready for use. There was evidence that
tho lime had boon recently disturbed
What member of tho community hod
died? Ho hod heard of no death occur
ring. Perhaps horror perhapa an In
fant! Once he hod boon called to baj)
tlze a babe in those walls; baptized that
its soul might bo saved. It was not seen
again. Thrown into that pit with lime,
tho body would melt, and identity bo
lost. Why did they not throw tho nuns
confined in tho cells at once Into this
pit, instead of burying thorn alive? Tho
dead suffer not, and the fiendish hate of
tho zealot could not satiate itself. Tho
mortal agony is ever held in reserve, If
tho victim lives, Thero are tho limit
less possibilities of pain, which tho ty
rant holds in his hand, and death
loosens his grasp. If tbe grave bo hell,
as it has sometimes been translated,
this pit, bottomless in the darkness of
its yearning depths, wus its true typo.
What misery, what suffering, physical
and spiritual! What agony of heart!
What wreck of hoe and fond Illusions!
What ending of religious dreams and
Ideal fancies had gone in common
wreck into this yawning depth! All
gone, melted into white dust, and not
even the slmplo slab of stone, on which
the hand of lovo hod written a namo,
remained. The infant, thrust into life
by infamy, and out of llfo by a crlmo
against nature; the mother who, by
following the example of the woman
whom they worshlpjwd as divine, bo-
came offensive to thoso who brought
her ruin; tho nun who protested
against a course of llfo opposed to every
Instinct of purity and religion; tho
priest who entertained heretical ideas,
resolved to lime, left no record, and
were as effectually blotted out as the
sponge wipes off the figures from the
slate.
Frantz turned shudderingly away.
He saw there his doom if he failed in
his enterprise If ho failed, Eudoela
would find thero a rest from torture.
Not thrown in thero alive? No! for
there Is less trouble In tho coward's
weapon of poison, and there Is more
pain to the victim.
He retraced his steps with Increasing
fear, for discovery now had a new mean
ing. It was in the dead hour of the
night, when sleep rests heaviest on the
eyelids. His fear magnified the danger,
and he turned his lamp down until it
