"Yet come, come," he said filially; "thou needst rest and food. Wilt sup with me, child, in this parlor?" Robese, pleading fatigue, declined, and he rang for a page. "Conduct the Lady de Cokefield and .lier tirewoman to the .gate chamber, and send proper refreshments thither," and mistrese and maid, having re- ceived his lordship's benison, followed their sprightly young guhle through narrow ,eorridors up a stair, and fin- ally came to a long, now chamber which fronted tbe gateway. Adjoining this were sleeping rooms for Rohese and Mistress Mary, and here the page left them to arrange their belongings, which they found piled there. He soon returned, however, with a small pasty, some delicate tarts, and a great goblet of hot spiced'wino, which ite set forth, and with an impudent wink at Mistress Mary, and a low bow to Rohese, was soon in the corrida Out- side their door. But ere he went whistling away, he paused to say knowingly, with a nod towardthe hall below them: "His lordship, the Abbot, hath or- dered this corridor door dose barred." CHAPTER X.

The Abbot's rule was despotic. Held In absolute awe and reverence by his inferiors, he was obeyed &question- ably, Mid served in all humility, as a mighty spiritual ruler. AS a temporal lord, his power was hardly tess great; within the four crosses that bounded his wide donialn, land and water were his; men, women and dill- dren, his vassals, and mighty barons Mat Uphold his standard, and obey his mandates, only Wend to the King's.

Hav- ing written the Canticlee on a tinted parchment, he had begun to illitinine a border of pomegranates and .passion flower around each page of these love songs of Solomon, "My fault atoned, tor by fasting and Prayer," he told himself, as he paint- ed a royal purple, petal, "reinstated in our Father's favor, I can meet and greet the fairest of the land without an added heart beat. Verily the flesh Is weak, but the spirit is the coque' or," But here jocelin fell into the com- mon error of inexperience, in irfiligin- ing that any effect ever dies. A mis- deed, be it ever so small, leaved a scar on the character of the commit- ter whieh time cannot remove, Thoughts and deeds write life' e his- tory in. indelible characters, which tears nor blood can eragge jocelin al- so erred in thinking that the flame of P1081011 once kindled in a virgin heart can be quenched by any amount of reasoning or pious meditation. Love Is a natural law, and whoever falls beneath its power mut work out his own salvation for good or ill, Here-, dity, environment, mental and moral training, may elaborate the relations of 114.11 and woman, but ever the male will seek his mate, and the female yearn for hers, ati trulY as two fluids separated bY 4 Membrane will mingle by the law of osmosis. As Jocelin painted and moralized, he paused to read a line of the text. Be- fore the sight of a beautiful young woman had awakened in him visions of new possibilities in life, Jocelin had often wondered why it was said that the Babbitts ot old forbade the Young men of the aYnageguea the reading of the Canticles. Now he knew Hvery word of the lover's passionate appeal started forth on the page, as If in letters of fire. "Thou art fair, my love, Thou bast dove's eyes within thy looks; Thy lips are Ube a tbread of scarlet." Rohese's flower-like face came be- tween him and the page again and again, till it so blurred beneath his eyes thet he could not see to paint upon it; and in despair, he threw aside the billets and went out in the garden, It was golden meliew day. A few loeves fluttered down now and then in gorgeous bouquets of scarlet and gold; the tress and sod still retained a tinge of green, and a golden haze seemed to mingle and melt into the rich landscape. Yet the sadness of adieu was in the air, as if the earth was mourning the passing of the fair summer, and the pale blue sky seemed to bend low over the Abbey garden. Prom the foreet sounded faintly the dull thud of the chopper's axe, and the acrid, pungent scent of burning leaves came from the orchard, where Brother Tristian, his rough brown robe well kilted above Ms bare shanks, raked and burned the fallen leaves and the long sere grasses, droning a plaintive chant as he worked. Jocelin paced up arid down the walk with bowed head, unconsciously keep- ing time with the dirgelike song of old Tristiau. His mood' of religious exalta- tion had passed into one of fierce re- bellion against the existing' order of things, and a pessionate crying out for the joys denied him by reason of the oath he had sworn at the high altar of St. Edmunds; though the training of a lifetime aided him in sternly re- sisting, this new evil which assailed him and threatened to uproot its deep- est teachlegs from the young monk's heart. "We are betrayed by what is false within," and false or trae, this new inclination fought against all old ideas and feelings, and when Jocelin was most sure that he had defeated it, it threatened to conquer him. Thus he passed to and fro, the warning of the singer falling unheeded on his ear.— "Men are like grass, Our lives they pass, As swiftly as the river flows Love's flower lifts up its dew -rimmed head; It buds and blooms, And then 'tie dead. Till all at once we feel a cold, And know that we are growing old." tut` what dreamer or lover ever heeded warning until too late, when— the dreams fade, leaving him still stranded on the cruel rocks of reality. So Jocelin fought the fight with Min - self; the bitter battle of the spiritual arrayed against the natural man, until a brother carte down the c,olonnade and callee to him; but he was so en- grossed that the other spoke several tinies before he lifted his head, "Jesse, Jesse! my young brother," cried Walter the Medicus, in a peevish tone; "where art thy wits wool gath- ering? I have come but late from Bradfield house, and. our lord has deigned to forget thy little indiscre- tion, and wills that thou appear in his hall to -day to attend on him. His highness holdeth court." "Nay, not to -day, Brother Walter; n.ot, to -day," impatiently Murmured Jocelin, scarcely knowfttg what he said. "I must pass the dine till come pline in meditation and self -interroga- tion. I pray thee have me excused for this day from attendance at Brad- field." 0 "How now?" exclahned Walter, tes- tily. "If thou thoweth not apprecia- tion of the Abbot's forgiveness, thou goest to pot.

'Twee by our in- tercession this revokeraent Was made," "11 she had not wish me to love her, she should ne'er spoke me so fairly," muttered Jocelin. "Elmer "What!" cried Brother Walter, greatly scandalized; ,his little light eyes narrowed to points With curios- ity; "what Sayest thou, my Mines?" This brought jocelin to his senses.

Men Eat More Than Women. That men eat 5 or 6 per cent. more than women—not becouse they are gluttons, but because they act- ually require that much more nourishment—appears as a result of an investigation made M the nutri- tion laboratory of the Carnegie insti- tute at Washington by Francis G. Ben- edict and L. E. Eames, says the Lit- erary Digest. The reason for the dis- crepancy seems to be that women have a smaller proportion of active tiseue than men of the same weight and more inactive material, such as fat. The investigation disclosed that the average woman generates only 1,365 heat units in the twenty-four hours as against 1,63 produced by the man, or about 2 per cent, more for the latter per lb. of body weight. When groups were compared after careful selection of individuals of nearly the same height and weight the men were found to produce about 12 per cent. more heat than women. 4 • 1 A WOMAN'S MESSAGE 70 WOMEN If you are troubled with weak, tired feelings, headache, backache, bearing down sensations. bladder weeklies', cons- tipation, catarrhal conditions, pain In the sides regularly or irregularly, bloating or unnaturel enlargements, sense of fall- ing or misplacement of internal organs, nervousness, desire to cry. palpitation, hot flashes, dark rings under the eYes, or a loss of interest in life, I invite you to write and ask for my simple niethod of home treatment with ten days' trial. en- tirely free and postpaid, also references to Canadian ladies who gladly tell how they have regained health, strength, and happiness by this method.

An army is not an army, but a mob, unless every Item in it can be trusted to do the .same thing at the same mo- ment at the word of commatid. So obedience is not a virtue in a soldier, but a necessity, for unless he learns it, he cannot attain to the military vir tues. It has been proved, for instance, again and again that obedience is the way to courage. When it Is a habit with men they face danger as they form foul% be- cause they are toed to, and the habit of obedienee is stronger in them than their natural fears. It Is, in -fad, part of a soldier's technique., and unless he has learned it he is an amateur liable to (stage fright. There may, of course, be an irration- al discipline which destroys a soldier's intelligence, as irrational technique de- stroys intelligence in any eraft. But the fact remains that soldiers have to learn obedience by means of a train- ing specially designed to teach them obedience, just as a musician has to practice scales. When he has learned It he can exercise his intelligence far better than if he had not learned it because he is braver and eooler for having learned it.—London Times. • • Minaret's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia • • • Lonely. have night to come, for f dread it, I am sorry the work hours have floVvh.

Sleep Without Drugs, "Doc, how can 1 get to sleep with- out using dope?" asked a man troubled with insomnia of a noted physician. "On going to bed assume a comfort. able attitude in which every muscle is relaxed," said the doctor, "but not the attitude in which you are accustomed to go to sleep, though something re- sembling it. Every movement, even coughing and yawning, must be strict- ly repressed, especially the desire to turn over, Maintain the same attitude without change, constantly resisting the longing to move or turn over. As a rule, by the end of fifteen or twenty minutes of this you will find yourself growing very drowsy and then, just as the desire to roll over become a.bso- lutely uncontrollable turn with the le'ast possible effort and assume the position in which you habitually go•to sleep. Natural sleep should follow at once. This method seldom fails. Give It a thorough trial at least before re. sorting to a drug to bring sleep."— Buffalo Depress.

There are a hundred singing like one. They are noisy enough then, and sing, as poets should, with no after thought.
