"Brother Antonio Is my man,” said Father Peter to himself. "I may tell him not to lay It on too heavily, and he will deem nothing wrong. Were I to choose another, there would be tules carried to the Abbot—may the—may the—may our Lady look down upon him!" there v was no brother so portly, none filled his brown robe with greater completeness than the Reverend Fath er Peter, keeper of the buttery and master of the refectory. Feast time and fast time were alike to him; he fat tened on both. In Lent, when his of ficial diet was but a few poor peas and a glass of clear water from the spring, he still put on flesh; and this though it might well have been thought that the mere sight of game pasties and venison pies which lay under his charge for the delectation of the con vent’s distinguished guests would have harried him to a shauojv for very envy and mortification. Not so; he throve apace, and at the end of X,ent, as at the beginning, he was always three fin gers'6n the ribs. The good ola Abbot, a man of ait similar build, would often chuckle as I he felt Futher Peter’s riba. In play. There had been monks who had left the convent, and this fact would fur nish him with occasion for his stock Jest. ‘Eh, my brother,” • he would say, "heaven send that none of our prodi gals return, else It will go hard with thee.” And ho would laugh unctuous ly and poke the good father’s sides as though he were appraising him by the pound. But in due time the Abbot, died and went to his own place. The new Ab bot was n man of dWVrent »kldrtey. Spare nnd thin lie was, with the pride of Lucifer in his ,eye and a cruel hu mor In his tightly compressed ^ips. He THANKSGIVING DINNER! atone to a cardinal's hat. and he look ed 'with confidence, for he was of the Borgias nnd kin to the Holy Father himself! ’ ^ I Discipline then was the order of the day. The good old times vanished be neath his rule. Fasting was strictly enjoined, and the monks were ordered to castigate themselves dally. He who spared nlmself The least won most flavor. cold eye of the Abbot .roved with displeasure over the ample proportions of Father Peter. When Lent cams he looked for some diminution; but by the miraculous favor of Our Lady of 8an Giacomo there was none, but rather an Increase. Once the Abbot, passing the door of the buttery, saw the worthy father,-with both, hands- to-his .mouth, apparently cramming into it the re mains of a pastry. But It appeared He sought out Brother Antonio and communed with him In the gate. "You shall deal unto me twenty stripes, good brother,” he*«ald, “for a penance that I would do. It shall take place in the chapter house this eve ning. But see that you lay not on too heavily. And this shall J>e a sign unto you. After the first blow watch me Should it bo dealt *oo lustily I will ag my right foot. But should It not be heavy enough, then I will shake my left foot. And so you will know how i deal tho next stroke.” Brother Antonio stared at him lump- IshJy. “As you will, good father,” he said. *1 warrant me you shall hnv$*no cause to complain.” Father Peter departed to acquaint the Abbot with his uetermlnatlon. The lay brother looked after him and scratched his head. ‘■By our Inkin. a strange request!” be anld. "Let me see. If he ahaketh the left foot I am to know that the blow is too heavy, but If he shaketh the right .foot, then shall I know that the blow lq not heavy enough. It Is w.-l! ” That c-venlng It became known that Father Peter was to do penance In the chapter house, and the monks fldeked there. The Abbot sat upon the high dais, and the worthy father came out before him, and, stripping off his robe, stood forth In succulent plnkncss like a fat capon or a plump sucking pig. He winked once at Brother Antonio, who stood lumplshly holding a strap of raw cowhide. Tben he touched his right leg significantly and prostrated himself on ull fours upon the steps. I would then that you could have seen Brother Antonio as he. In his turn, stripped his frock.

I have had hard thoughts of thee, but now I would make amends. .And I will give thee a cup of Rhenish wine that shall make thine eyes glisten and steel thine arm against (he time I shall ask thee for further castigation.” He drew the stopper from a flagon all cobwebbed and musty, nnd poured Into a crystal cup a great bumper of the good wine. Brother Antonio, poor porter as he was, had never tasted such nectar. It was a wine for the lips of such ns sat the high dais, nnd he crossed himself reverently before he put It to his lips. When he set It down the cup was empty and wondrous visions swam before his eyes 'and danced In his brnjn. "That is the right sort,” said the u "i i liy I-nth**i I vi r u iti- :i « huckh . “Come!

Brother Antonio, marveling at his good fortune, drained It» once more. ”1 am—hlc!— much bound to you, worthy father,” he said, slurring his words In his anxiety to utter 1 them. "This Is a.delicious wine, and for an other cup I would even do unto you again tho service I did for. you be fore.” Now the saints * forbid!” said the still raw Father Peter, wincing tho lay brother clapped him on the back. “Another gloss, good brother?” Brother Antonio had several more glasses and then collapsed In sterto rous dreams. The reverend father’s face gleamed with cunning delight. Stooping, in* lifted tIk- Inanimate form upon his shoulders and staggered with It to the cloisters, where he deposited it upon tli*' lings in such a manner that the abbot must see It as he returned from matins. See It tho abbot did. “Whom have we here?” ho asked. Pointing with his thin hand, on which a blood-red ruby gleamed balefully in Its jeweled setting. ”It Is the lay Brother Antonio,” re plied one of tho fathers. "Ho would seem to be in a pious trance.” Brother Antonio snored, nnd at the sound the abbot drew back sharply. "The drfinken hog!” ho said, his face thin with displeasure. "Away with him and souse him under the pump! We will deal faithfully with him this evening In the chapter house.” When the news of this decision was brought to the Reverend Father Peter, who so pleased as he? He hasteneo to the nbbott’s room and fell on his knees before him. V boon! A boon, lord abbot!" he cried. "Grant me one little boon, for . the sake of the penance I have per-| 10 formed.” 'IVerlly thou has well deserved it, good father,” said the abbot gracious ly.

It was necessary, however, to have an understanding with the person whom he should select to Inflict the castigation. For the purpose he ap proached the lay brother, Antonio, who tiled a humble position as porter and keeper of the gaU. Brother Antonio was the lumbering son of a peasant, who had been convent-bred In menial offices, the hewing of wood and the drawing of water. He was, poor soul!

A sacred exaltation came upon him, nnd he mod. up hla mind to per form his task satisfactorily or pcrlah In the attempt. Raising his voice to a kind of chant, he etruck again and again.

He rose nnd left the chapter house. “What has happened? Where am IT’ asked Brother Antonio, starting as though from n dream. “Oh. yes—I remember." "Remember!” yelled the Infuriated Father Peter. And so do I remember! Thou hast given me cause to remem ber, thou limb of Satan. Did I not tell thee that when I wagged the right foot It was a sign that thou didst strike too hard?"

I shall not seat me In the chnpel. but I shall think of thee and offer up prayers for thy future disposition. For get It! Sooner will 1 forget—!" But here the worthy fathers, who were growing a little alarmed at tho noise their brother was making, clapped their hands over hie mouth and led him away. Brother Antonio strolled back toward the gate. "Alas!" ha pondered, "and this Is gratitude.” . * , For a whole week he meditated upon this thankjeesness, and then had rea son to be ashamed of his thoughts; (or as he was passing the buttery the Reverend Father Peter haled him In and greeted him. with a roguish wink and a sly pinch in the ribs.
