at the top, disclosed a round sinewy nock, ruddy and corded like the bark of the fir. Thick muscular arms, cov ered with a reddish down, protruded from the wide sleeves of his habit, while his white shirt, looped up upon one side, gave a glimpse of a huge knotty leg, scarred and torn with the scratches of brambles. With a bow to the Abbot, which had In it perhaps more pleasantry than reverence, the novlee strode across to tin* carved prio-dieu which had been set apart for him, and stood silent and erect, with Ids hand upon the gold bell which was used In the private prisons of the Ab bot's own household. Ills dark eyes glanced rapidly over the assembly, and filmUy settled with a grim and menac ing twinkle upon the face of his ac cuser. The chamberlain rose, and having slowly unrolled the parchment-scroll, proceeded to rend It out In a thick and pompous voice, while a subdued rustle mid movement among the brothers lie spoke the Interest with which'they fol lowed the proceedings. “Charges brought upon the second Thursday after (lie feast of the As sumption, in the year of our Lord thirteen hundred and sixty-six. against Brother John, formerly known ns Hurdle John, or John of Hordle, but now a novice In the holy monastic order of the Cistercians. Head upon the same day at the Abbey of Beau lieu In 11 ■<* presence of the most rev erend Abbot llerghersh and of the as sembled order. “The charges ngnlnst the said Brother John are the following, namely, to wit: “First, that on the above-mentioned feast of the* Assumption, small beer having been served to the novices In the proportion of one quart, to each four, the said Brother John did drain the pot at one draught, to the detri ment of Brother I ‘a ill. Brother Por phyry, and Brother Ambrose, who could scarce cat their nonemeat of Halted stock-llsh, on account of their exceeding dryness.” At lids solemn Indictment the novice raised his hand and twitched his lip, while even the placid senior brothers glanced across at each other and coughed to cover their amusement. The Abbot alone sat gray and im mutable, with n drawn face and a brooding eye. “Item, that having been told by (lie muster of the novices that lie should restrict bis food for two days to a single three-pound loaf of bran mid beans, for the greater honoring and glorifying of St. Monica, mother of the holy Augustine, lie was beard by brother Ambrose and others to say UWIUIU ■'» ii ipi r i .. — ■ i gw ' t 6 wi th a shol't in: rum: ri' the heavy oaken PIIIEDIEO. that he wished twenty thou smut dev Ha j would ttv ifway with the sulci Monica, mother of the holy Augustine. or any other saint who came between a man and his meat. Item, that upon Brother Ambrose reproving hint tor his blasphemous wish, he clitl hold the Raid brother face downward over the ptscatorluin or tlsli-poml for a space during which the said brother was able to rejteat a l*ater and four Aves for the better fortifying of his soul against Impending death." There was a bur.)’, ami murmur among the whlte-frooked brethren at this grave chargc; but the Abbot held up his long quivering hand. "What then?" said he. "Item, that between Nones and Venpera on tho fwist of Jmuos* the j Less the said Brother John was ob served upon tbc* Hrokenhcxt road, near the *iK>t which is kuowu as Hatchett's i*oml. In converse' with a iterson of the other sex, being a maiden of the name of Mary S.nvley, the daughter of the king's verderer. Item, that after sundry Jain's and jokes the said Brother John did lift up the said Mary Sowiey and did take, carry, and convey her across a stream, (o tiie lutinite relish of the devil and the ext.-reding detriment of his own so ill, which scandalous and wilful falling away was witnessed by three member* of our order.” A dead silence throughout the room, with a rolling of heads and upturning of eyes, bespoke the pious horror of the community. The Abbot drew his gray brows low over his fiercely questioning eyes. • Who can vouch for this thing - ’" he asked. "That can I." ans.vered the accuser. "So too can Brother I orphyry. who was with me. and BroCs«r Mark of the Spicarlum. who hath been so much stirred and inwardly t' übled by the sight that he now lie* In a fever through tt.” "And the woman?" asked the Abbot. Did she not break into lamentation and woe that a brother should so de mean himself ** "Nay. she smiled sweetly upon him and thanked him. I can vouch It, and so can Brotht r Porphyry.” "Canst thou?" cried the Abbot. In a high, tempestuous tone. "Canst thou so? Hast forgotten that the flve und-thtrtieth rule of the order Is that in the presence of a woman the face should be ever averted and the eye* cast down? Hast torgyL It, 1 If your eyes were upon your sandals, how came- ye to see this smile of which ye prate? A week in your cells, lalse brethren, a week of rye bread and lentils, with double frauds and double Matins, rnay help ye to a re membrance of the laws under which ye live." At this sudden outtlame of wrath the two witnesses sank their faces on theli chests, and sat a* men crushed. The Abbot turned his angry eyes away from them and bent them upon the accused, who ne t his searching gaze with a tirm and composed face. “What hast thou to say, Brother John, upon these weighty things which are urged against thee?’’ “Little enough, good father, little enough!" said the novice. “For the matter of the ale, I had come In hot from the fields and had scarce got the taste of the thing before mine eye lit upon the bottom of the pot. It may be, too, that I spoke somewhat shortly concerning the bran and the beans, the same being poor provender and unfitted for a man of my Inches. It Is true also that I did lay my hands upon this Jack-fool of a Brother Am brose, though, as you can see, I did him little scath As regards the maid, too. It Is true that T did heft her over the stream, she having on her hosen and shoon, whilst I had but my wood en sandals, which could take no hurt from the water. I should have thought shame upon my manhood, ns well ns my monkhood. If T had held back my hand from her.” He glaneed around ns he spoke, with the half amused look which he had worn dur ing the whole proceedings. “There is no need to go further,” said the Abbot. "He has confessed to all. It only remains for me to portion out the punishment which Is due to his evil eonduet.” He rose and the two long lines of brothers followed his example, looking sideways with seared faces at the angry prelate. “John of ITordie," he thundered, "you have shown yourself during the two months of your novitiate to be a recreant monk, and one who is un worthy to wear the white garb which Is the outer svmbol of the spotless spirit. That dress shall therefore be stripped from thee, and thou shatt be cast Into the outer world without bene fit of clerkship, and without lot or part In the graces and blessings 'if those who dwell under the rare of the blessed Benedict. Thou Shalt • me back neither to Beaulieu nor to any of the granges of Beaulieu, and thy name shall he struek off the scrolls of the order.” The sentence appeared a terrible one to the older monks, who had berome so used to the safe and regular life of the Atibey that they would have been ns helpless ns children In the outer world From their pious oasis they looked dreamily out at the desert of life a place full of stormlngs anil strivings, comfortless, restless, and overshndowed by evil. Th- young i novice, however, appeared to have other thoughts, for his eyes sparkled and his smile broadened. It needed !>ut to add fresh fuel to t'..e fiery mood of the prelate. ••So much for thy spiritual punish ment!" he eric'd "But it Is to the! grosser feelings that we must turn In such natures as thine, and as thou art no longer under the shield of holy Church there is the less difficulty. Ho. there! lay-brothers—Francis, Na j oml, Joseph seise him and bind his i arms! Drag him forth, and let the | foresters and the porters scourge him : from the precincts!" As those three brothers advanced to ward him to carry out the Abbot’s dl i reetton the smile faded from the no | vice's face, like a bull at a baiting, j Then, with a sudden deep-chested ! shout, he tore up the heavy oaken prie ! ilb'u and poised It to strike, taking two steps backward the while, that none might take him at a vantage. "By the black rood of Waltham!" he' roared, "if any knave i mong you lays a finger-end upon the edge of my gown. T will crush his skull like .. fil bert’" With his thlek knotted arms, his thundering voice, and his bristle of rod hair, there was omething so repellent In the man that the three brothers flew hack at the very glare of him; and the two rows of white monks strained away from him ’ike poplars In the tempest The Ahhof 3 only sprang forward with shining eyes' hut the ohnneetlor and the mast er hung unon either arm and wrestled , him out of danger’s wav "TTe Is possessed of a devi they shouted "T?un Bret ,er .Ambrose Brother .Toaehlm’ Call TTugb of the Mill, and Woodman Wat. and Ttaoul with h's arhalest and bolts' Tell them that we are fn fear of our live®’ Bun. mn for the love of ‘he Virgin'” But the novice was a strategist a« well a« • man of action. Sprlngirg forward b- burled his unwleidlv weapon at Brother Ambrose and as ’e«k and monk clattered on to the door together, he sprang through the open door and down the winding stair Sleepy old Brother Athanasius, at the porter’s cell, had a deeting vision of twinkling feet and lying skirts: but before he had time to rub his eyes the recreant ha.' passed the lodge, and was speeding as fast a* his sandals could patter along the I.vndhurst road. CHAPTER IT. Never had the peaceful atmosphere of the old Cistercian house been so j rn.i-lv ruffiest XrVtg -had-lliatt-IMEnJ , | insurrection so sudden, so short, and i so successful. Yet the Abbot Berg hersh was a man of too Arm a to allow one bold outbreak to Imperii the settled order of his great house i hold. In a few hot and bitter woids ; he compared their false brother s exit to the expulsion of our first parents irom the garden, and more than hinted that unless a reformation occurred some others of the community might hud themselves In the same evil ana perilous case. Having thus pointed the moral and reduced his flock to a fitting state of docility, he dismissed them once more to their labors and with drew himself to his own private chamber, there to seek spiritual aid In the discharge of the duties of his high office. The Abbot was still on his knees, when a gentle tapping at the door of his cell broke in upon his orisons. Hie ing In no very good humor at the in terruption, he gave the word to enter; but his look of impatience softened down into a pleasant and paternal smile as his eyes fell upon his visitor. He was a thin-faced, yellow-haired youth, rather above the middle size, comely and well shapen, with straight lithe figure and eager boyish features. His clear, pensive gray eye, and quick, delicate expression, spoke of a nature which had unfolded far from the boisterous Joys and sorrows of the world. Yet there was a set of the mouth and a prominence of the chin which relieved him of any trace of effeminacy. Impulsive he might be, enthusiastic, sensitive, with something sympathetic and adaptive in his dis position; but an observer of nature's tokens would have confidently pledged himself that there was native firmness and strength underlying his gentle, monk-bred ways. The youth was not clad in monastic garb, but in lay attire, though his Jerkin, cloak and hose were all of a sombre hue, as befitted one who dwelt in sacred precincts. A broad leather strap hanging from his shoulder sup ported a scrip or satchel such as trav ellers were wont to> carry. In one hand he grasped a thick Staff pointed and shod with metal, while in the other he held his coif or bonnet, which bore in Its front a broad pewter mpdal stamped with the Image of Our Lady of Rocamadour. "Art ready, then, fair son?” said the Abbot. “This Is Indeed a day of com ings and goings. It is strange that in one twelve hours the Abbey should have east off its foulest we d, and should now lose what we are fain to look upon as our choicest blossom.” "You speak too kindly, father,” the youth answered. “If I had my will I should never go forth, but should end my days here In Beaulieu. It hath been my home- as far back as my mind can carry me, and it is a sore thing for me to have to leave it.” “Life brings many a cross, said the Abbot gently. “Who is withovt them? Your going forth Is a grief to us as ! well as yourself. But there Is no help. 1 had given my foreword and sacred promise to your fa her Bdric the Franklin, that at the age of twenty you should he sent out into the world to ; see for yourself how you liked the savor of it. Seat thee upon the settle, Alleyne, for you may need rest ere i long.” The youth sat down as directed, but reluctantly and with diffidence. The Abbot stood by the narrow window, and his long, black shadow fell slant wise across the rushst ewn floor. "Twenty years ago." he said, "your father, the Franklin of Minstead, died, leaving to the Abbey three hides of rich land In the hundred of Malwood, and leaving to us also his infant son on condition that we should rear him until he came to man’s estate. This he did partly because your t other was dead, and partly ' cause your elder brother, now Pooman of Minstead. i d already given signs of th..t fierce and rude nature which would make him tie fit companion for you. Tt was his desire and request, however, that you should not remain In the cloisters, hut should at a ripe age return Into the world. Whither will you first turr "To mv brother’s at Minstead. 'f he he Indeed an ungodly and violent man there Is the more need that T should seek him out and see whether I cannot tun him to bett r ways.’* The Abbot shook his head. The Socman of Minstead hath earned an said. “Ts you must go to hi- sec at ; evil name over the country-side.” he least that he doth not 1 rn you f. -m j the narrow path upon which you have l learned to tread. But you are in God’s keeping and Oodward should you ever look In danger and In trouble. Above all. shun the snares of women, for they are ever set for the foolish feet of the young. Kneel, my child, and take an old man’s blessing.” Alleyne Edrlckson bent hts head while the Abbot poured out his heart felt supplication at Heaven would watch over this young soul, ro going forth Into the darkness and danger of the world It was no .< rre form f w either of them To them the outside life of mankind did indeed seem to he one of violence and si... beset with phvstcal and still more with spiritual danger Heaven, too was very near; to them in those days.

Grocers as a rule are honest, trust worthy men who would not consciously mislead you. Whenever one of them advises you to take loose grocery store then, with a lighter heart and a stouter j courage that the young man turnedj from the Abbot’s room, while the lat ter. following him "to the stair-head, finally commended him to the protee- ; tion of the holy Julian, patron of trav- 1 ellers. Underneath, in the porch of the Ab bey, the monks had gathered to give him a last God-speed. Many had brought some parting token by which he should remember them. There was Brother Bartholomew with a crucifix of rare carved ivory, and Brother Luke with a white-backed psalter adorned with golden bees, and Brother Francis with the ‘‘Slaying of the Inno cents” most daintily set forth upon vellum. All these were duly packed away deep in the traveller’s scrip, and above them old pippin-faced Brother Athanasius had placed a parcel of simnel bread cheese, with a small flask of the famous blue-sealed Abbey wine. So, amid handshakings and laughings and blessings, Alieyne Edricson turned his back upon Beau lieu. At the turn of the road he stopped and gazed back. There was the wide spread building which he knew so well, the Abbot’s house, the long church, the cloisters with their line of arches, all bathed and mellowed In the evening sun. There too was the broad sweep of the river Exe, the old stone well, the canopied niche of the Virgin, and in the centre of 11, the cluster of ! white-robed figures who waved their hands to him. A sudden mist swam up before the young man’s eyes, and he turned away upon his journey with a heavy heart and a choking throat. It is not, however, in the nature of things that a lad of twenty, with young life glowing in his veins and all the wide world before him, should spend his first hours of freedom In mourning of what he had left. Long ere Alieyne was out of sound of the Beaulieu bells he was striding sturdily along, swinging his staff and whistling as merrily as the birds In the thicket. The road along which he travelled was scarce as populous as most other roads in the kingdom, and far less so than those which lie between the larger towns. Vet from time to time the boy met other wayfarers, and more tnan once was overtaken by strings of pack-mules and horsemen Journeying In the same direction as himself. The night had already fallen, and the moon was shining between the rifts of ragged, drifting clouds, before Al ieyne Edricson. footsore and weary from the unwonted exercise found himself in front of the forest inn. which stood upon the outskirts of Lyndhurst. The buiiding was long and low, stand ing back a little from the road, with two flambeaux blazing on either side of the door as a weir-me to the trav eller. From one window there thrust forth a long pole with a bunch of greenery tied to the end of it—a sign that iiauor was to be sold within. As Alieyne walked up to it he perceived that it was rudely fashioned out of beams ot wood, with twinkling hts all over where the glow from v hin shone through the chi-ks. The roof was poor and thatched; but in strange contrast to it there ran all along under the eaves a line of wooden shields, most gorgeously painted with chev ron, bend, and saltire and every heraldic device. By the door a horse stood tethered, the ruddy glow beating strongly upon his brown head and pa tient eyes, while his body stood back In the shadow. Alieyne stood still in the roadway for a few minutes, reflecting upon what he should do. It was. he knew, only a few miles further to Mlnstead. where his brother dwelt. On the other hand.) he had never seen tiis brother since childhood, and the reports which had come to his ears concerning him were! seldom to his advantage. By all ac counts he was a hard and a hitter man. 1 It might be an evi! start to come to his door so late and claim the shelter' of his roof Better to sleep here at this inn. and then travel on to Min stead in the morning. If his brother would take him in, well and good. He would bide with him for a time and ’ do what he might to serve him. If. on’ the other hand, he should have hard ened his heart against him. he could onlv go on hts way and do the best he might by hir skill as a craftsman and a scrivener At the end of a yerr he would be free to return to the cloisters, for such had been his father's request. A monkish upbringing, one year in the world after the age of twenty, and then a free selection one way or the , ;, er —it was a strange course which had been marked out for him. Fuch as it was. however, he had no choice but to follow it. and if he were to begin by making a friend of his brother, he had best wait until m rn ing b fore he knocked at his dwelling. The rude plank door of the inn was ajar, but as Alieyne approached it there came from within such a gust of rough laughter and o' itter of tongues | that he stood irresolute upon the threshold. Summoning courage, how ever. and reflecting that it was a pub lic dwelling, in which he had as much right as any other man, he pushed it j open and stepped into the common room. coffee, instead of Arbuckles’ ARIOSA. he doubtless believes he is doing you a favor, whereas he is really depriving you of the most wholesome and deli cious beverage that you can buy. some thing better than anything else he can sell you for The sales of Arbuckles’ ARIOSA Coffee exceed the sales of all other package coffees in the United States combined, and the busi ness of Arbuckle Bros, exceeds that of the four next largest concerns in the world, simply because the public ac tually receives better coffee for their money in Arbuckles’ ARIOSA than they canJjujr in any other way. Arbuckles’ ARIOSA Coffee is good to drink—it quenches the thirst and tastes good. Most people need it. It aids digestion, increases the power and ambition to work and it makes one like doing things— depression- United States soldiers drink more cof fee than the soldiers of any other na- j tion.
