FATHER PETER’S PENNANCE
By J. 8ACKVILLE MARTIN.
In all the convent of San Giacomo but half-witted, slow of speech, but
— *— H| ~ strong in the arm.
"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

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

be heavy enough, then I will shake my
left foot. And so you will know how

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.

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.

thoughts of thee, but now I would
make amends. .And I will give thee a
cup of Rhenish wine that shall make

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

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! Thou seest I can return good

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

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.”

ly. "What is thy wish?”

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!

him, nnd he mod. up hla mind to per

Here the chant was Interrupted. The
Infuriated Father Peter hnd managed
to scramble to his feet and had at

lay brethren, seeing that Antonio was

But here the worthy fathers, who
