Then falling Uh.w hla knooa and all
hishelpora with him, with thoexeeji
lion of Clarlsso, they rotated many
prayers in latin, with a vehemence
that mado the walla and arches ring
and re-ceho.
Suddenly tho nolso of a door alsive
resounded the length of the corridor
with a fori'U doubtless unknown to tho
long silence. Thla nolso frightened
tho abliess, who turned toward Annun
clata and asked if she hud securely
closed the door. At tho samo time
Paulino pulled mo by tho sleeve. We
believed that there was not a moinont
to lose. Annunclata, wo thought,
would not atlr until tho prayer wan
finished, and however painful was our
anxiety resecting Clarlsso, we did not
dare to remain another moment, olid
lng out of the niche whore w were
hidden, we happily attained the upier
gallery aomo momenta before the sis-
tors left their eella for the midnight
aervlec. A moment later we should
JitoJfiiyitttUy encountered someone.
There waa a lame iron bolt to the
door whleb conducted to tho aubter-
anean gallery; It la probable that An

having previously elol the door aur

The obligation to ooneeal the mont

Lad wltneaed the uhterrari"an mo,
until the time when I'auline and I were
at hngfb abe U talk finely. We
firmly believed that our ha.anlou ex

wa beyond my power to appear at my
earn!, I felgmd an lndlplti(i); a
violent toothache which 1 pretended
to auffer Ood forgive me ail my bypoo-

tar that'I could'not repreaa, and fur
Bihd me with a pretext to envelope
tnyaolf with my veil and thu bld my
tearawollen eye. Finally I'auline
found anj excune to come Into my cell
with the permlaalon of gool Mother
(Jenefrlde.nThen not only did we weep
together, but we agreed upon the plan
we would employ to bring MUtance to
poorClarlm; for though we were un
able to give any preclie form to the
idea which panned through our mlnda,
the ecene which we had wltneMed bad
uniusttled our confidence in the Iloman
Catholic church. Hut alaa! we could
not contult the lllble to clear our
doubt.
Finally we formed thla project: W
made a paateboard work box and orna
mented itjwltb a covering embroidered
with fiearl; we wrote upon theinlde
of the paateboard a note to Mme.
Veranl aaylng that we had given the
letter to C'lariaoe, that abe had in aome
way dlpleaed the abboee; that they
had not permitted her to mingle with
the rent of the family, and that we
would leave her to decide upon tho
meaauroa to take in the difficult cae.
I bad aeon Mme. Veranl once In the
ordinary interval or menu' vwiu,
and I expected her a few daya later. It
wa neceary to work eteadlly to flniih
the trifle, and during all thlatlme we

Iwu happy because my nolo had
come to Mine. Veranl; but I am not
able to ex pre the terror which filled
my mind during the whole of that day,
until we learned tho result of our enter
tirlse. I did not doubt that it would lie
at the very latest a I now relate, and
I eak of her to avoid all confusion.
Mme. Veranl waa no sooner in her
house than she tore away tho covering
of patobeard and found thero what we
hod tram d with our Hnci1a.
Tho village of St. Hlffren wasalready
agltabd; the revolutionary spirit
reigned among the people. My friend,
profiting by a little movement which
had taken place, came to the convent
and asked to aee the abbe. Mho told
her that she had heard threat against
the convent and said to her with all
rcpeet and consideration, that if any
vister had fallen into disgrace, the
counseled her to restore her to favor,
so that in case a popular Invasion were
made, nobody would bo able to say a
word 'against the goodness and tender
nesof the superior. I was, naturally
enough, not informed of this visit, but
I'auline and I soon discovered the cf.
feet, ami we congratulated ourselve
In projsirtlon to tho fear that our
enterprtao had inspired. ,
Onti morning, during the hour de
voted to domestic earf-s, as I'auline and
I went through the gallery, wo encoun
tered Bister Clotilda, the sum, who
had seen the apparition in the ceme
tery; She bad her eye and mouth wide
open as though she had seen a new
prodigy.
"O dialer Aogellijue, Hlster I'auline!"
she cried, "Madame sent me to her
chamber I swear by Kt. Ursula, I
have forgotten for what! Hut there In
the liltle chamber facing the ceme
tery, whom do you think I saw? No
more, no less than Sister Clarissa! I
saw Mother Ursula bringing her her
dinner, the same a ours, and I heard
Clarisse thank h r; Itlloped up behind
the mother and I saw her with my own
eyes! Ho all that they have said about
her ia false,"
"What have they said?" demanded
I'auline, squeezing my hand in such a
manner that at other times I should
have been unable to suppress a cry of
pain.
"What have they aald?" replied Clo
tilda, "that she was chained In a dun
geon, on account of an evil spirit which
made her so furious that nobody dared
approach her. It is Mother Almce
who has Ms u red us in speaking of it
that they always do so with the pos
sessed. Bho ha ever recounted to us

she said:
"What means that took, my daugh

what does not concern you. When I
was young, a similar look would have
eisita wl.olo week' siianees."
"God liepi-alsod,'; ejaculated Paulino
when she slopped.
"For whnt?" asked the mother.
"For all HI mercies;" replied my
friend.
"Amen!" replied tho nun, throwing a
scrutinizing iflunco UHin Paulino,
"Take care," said she, "thero are In
this house more curs and eyos than you
think."
"Agnes!" murmured Puuline; but I
suddenly drew her uftor me, and I do
not think that tho mother heard the
lust word.

CIIAPTKH VI.
The Pi-auuk.
This state of affairs could not con
tinue long. A crisis wus approaching;
and the commencement of events that
came to trouble our house was very re
markable.
Mother Ursula had a little niece, the
only child of an unhappy sister. This
little girl, named Kllaltoso, had lost
her mother at Bt. Blffren; tho father
not being willing to tako care of the
child, Mother Ursula, with tho consent
of tho ablsisn, hud adopted hor and
hud give n her to the care of a iieusant
who lived upon a neighboring hill. It
wusdeclded that thectilld should enter
the bouco a soon ns she was old enough
to become a novice, and, young as ahe
was, they considered her & postulant
for tho veil, and they brought her some
times to tho convent to present her to
tho virgin. I saw her once; she was a
sweet and pretty little creature -
scarcely two years old and her nurse,
who dearly loved her, was not much
more than a child. Poor little one! my
heart ached for her when I reflected
upon tho life, sad and monotonous,
which ojM-ned before her.
It was the beginning of the month of
August; tho weather was suffocatingly
hot, when they brought us the new of
the death of little F.lla after a brief 111
ncss. They told us at the sumo time to
prepaie ourselves for her funeral as
though sho were a postulant for the
veil.
"Poor little one!" murmured Pau
line; "I am almost ready to say, God bo
prah-ed that she has been delivered
from tho miseries of this lifu! I) iir
little creature! Bho I now among the
bl sud."
Flla had died In the night and at an
early hour in the morning her body
was brought to the convent and placed
upon a bier In the choir. Boon after
the matin, Pauline and I entered the
choir to look at the mortal remain of
tho child. The body was stretched
upon the bier and covered with a white
cloth. They had dresswl her a a xs
tulant; uism her head was a crown of
fragrant flowers; above tho coffin were
burning tlx candle in silver candle
stick: at the feet of tho child retted a
cross, two candle were burning at the
side, Upon the body of F.lla they had
placed ft sheet of pinked paper. We
raised It and we shuddered unseeing
the changes which had taken place In
her features whose beauty charmed tho
whole family. Theejea were sunken;
a black circle wa formed around her
mouth; and in spite of the Incense
which burned upon the altar, the corpse
gave off an Insupportable odor.
"It is hardly natural," said I to Pau
line, "this child died in the night and
the decomposition is already far ad
vanced," "The weather is very warm," re
sponded Pauline; "and after all, dear
sister, what doe that amount to? The
dust must return to dust. The immor
tal soul is all that ought to concern us."
We full ujxin our knee by the aide of
the bier and in our Ignorance, wo

enough to shield and protect them as well as
us, In ths exercise of all civil and religious
lliieriy.
We alii rm our devotion to the public school
system of thin country. We believe In com
pulsory education, and that all teaching In
our schools should lie In the English lan
guage, to Mm end that future generations
may lie able to take their place In the ranks
of our country's workers, educated In the
history, the customs and manners of Ameri
cans. We guaranties to every man the liberty of
worshiping Uod according to the dictates of
his own conscience, and would give ever as
sistance to protect all In the exercise oi his
liberty, but wo object most strenuous to
the Interference of any church, no matter
under what iiumn It may exist, In the tem
poral affairs of this country.
We believe that the Hllile should be read In
our public schools; not to teach sectarianism,
but to Im-iilciite Its tcHchlngs. It Is the
recognized standard of all moral snd civil
law; we therefore believe, that our children
should be educated In Its teachings, but that
no dogma or croud should be taught at tbe
same time
We believe that patriotism and love of
count ry should be Instilled Into the hearts of
children, and that, with tbe words of
',Mot.her,"-llome" and "Heaven." our chil
dren should he taught that our dug Is the
symbol of all that ui'ikea a "home" for us.
We would place a llag upon every public
school In our land, and a Klbie within, and
the object lessoa therein set forth should he
a beacon light In every sUirm which threat
ens to engulf us,
In this noble and patriotic work we ask ths
cordial and hearty co-operation of all good
citizens. In this grand work we need the
helping hand of all organizations holding the
same views and principles, We have no l ime
for Jealousies and bickerings, but with a
united front we should march forward,
shoulder to shoulder, remembering that
"llnio-d we stand, divided we fall,"
I n the strictest sense we are a national
polltil at organization, but we oppose with
unanimity the slightest taint of partlsanlsm,
"Our country" Is our motto, and we keen
this mot to steadily before us. We are cogni
zant that there are great and powerful
enemies within our midst, requiring the
strictest surveillance of all who are at heart,
word and In deed Amtrlcam, We, as members
of this Order, afllrm our allegiance to the
objecu of the (Inter as paramount to any
partisan alllliallon, and urge upon the mem
bership harmonious, united and Intelligent
action In carrying out the principles.
