j A Industrial situation. Tli.it tlin result w ill
'&, be geed for it, seems most probable.
As we have been lleating along, the
smaller organizations of the several
labor unions have had a very dis.
turbing effect upon our industries. Em
ployers have never been certain as te the
conditions under which their business was
te labor in the future. "Workmen's strikes
were likely te happen at all times, with or
without reason. "With the control of the
labor clement in the hands of these dis
posed te avoid violent measures te secure
the rights of labor, and who have an intel
ligent understanding of what these rights
are, it is manifest that capital will
have a protection which it has net had,
and which will be secured te it along with
the protection that is obtained for labor. It
will be a practical recognition and enforce
ment of the obvious fact that the interests
of capital and labor are the same. It is te
the true interest of the employer te pay the
employed all that their labor is fairly
worth under the conditions of the market
for their joint product. Te secure this for
the laborers is the aim of their
organization ; and the aim can
only be accomplished by demanding
no mere. The practice of arbitration is
the sensible method of determining t hat
this is,when there is a natural difference of
opinion about it between employer and
employed ; and either will leso less by con
ceding something te the ether of their
opinion than by shutting down the works
that provides for both their emolument.
m
Profit and Less.
It is no doubt tnie that the managers of
tLe street railway lines in Philadelphia can
get all the men they need te drive their
horses and conduct their cars, who are
willing te work from fourteen te seventeen
"hours a day for from $1 .75 te J2.2-1 wages.
It is likewise trr.e that at six cents per
passenger they can de a very large and
profitable business, and that se long as they
have sole occupancy of the streets the peo
ple will have te patronize their lines and
they need fear no competition.
They will certainly make mere money
by continuing the present system of pieflt
and expense than by putting up the wages
and putting down the fares.
But the public has long known that the
street car lines make inordinate profits
out of their privileges. They make
them oft the workingmen and working
women who hang te the straps and crowd
the platforms in the two hours of the morn
ing that people go anxiously te work and
the two hours of the evening that people
come wearily from work. The street car
fare stints the breakfast coffee and reduces
the evening tea.
The passenger railway business is net
open te competition. Its proprietors have
a monopoly. Their tracks gridiron every
avenue of travel. They have the right of
way ; vehicles that meet their cars must
turn out; and theso overtaken by them
must pull off the track. Hut all of this
they obtain by the sufferance of the peo
ple whom they overtax. "When the peo
ple strike for lower fares and the empleyes
strike for higher wages aud shorter hours
something will break.
There is a profit that is less.
Why They De It.
Wonder is manifested that the actual re
ceipts of the state treasury, according te
Treasurer Li vsey's report just made, were
0,3I,ta2.03 for 18S3, when the fiscal au au
tueriUes estimated them at only 41,475,000.
3?rem this experience is deduced the lessen

The Chief Mae Apaches.
We de net quite understand the perform
ances of enr soldiers and Geronlme down
In Arizona. Captain Crawford found him,
we believe, and fought him, and then a
Mexican force appeared and shot Captain
Crawford. Shortly afterward Geronlme
carne te an Interview with General
Creek under a Hag of truce, and
when he could get no better terms than an
unconditional surrender, he very sensibly
departed under his white flag, as he was
sure te have been hanged if lie liad net. "We
next heard that he had reconsidered and
had surrendered with his whele kind te
Lieutenant Maus, who had succeeded te
Captain Crawford's command. And new
the last dispatch is that Geronime has es
caped from Maus, who has started In pur
suit. Apparently Geronime does net
knew his own mind. He seems te have
heard something since his surrender which
has returned him te his former opinion
that he will be hanged. As a hard man te
catch and hard te held it w ill be a great
economy te let him surrender en his own
terms.

Oi t of the multitude of Irish landschemes
one will perhaps be evolved te meet all
emergencies, and In the meantime It Is a
geed thing te discuss in their ditlerent phases
theso presented. The Dublin Freeman's
Journal has created some stir by declaring
that the Gladstone measure will enact the
right et any owner of land In Ireland te claim
from the government of Ireland, after home
rule has been granted, the privilege or being
bought out ut a sum regulated by law. This
Bum will be arrived at by multiplying the
aniountet the rout, w lien It is judicially fixed,
orefu f.ilrrcnt, when It Is net rated Judici
ally, by a term of years te be agreed uieu by
Parliament. In aUcdses where the owners
put In such claims te be lieught out the im
perial exebequer Is te provide the purchase
money. 'Jhe Irish government is te guar guar
anteerepayineut and attend te the business
of reimbursing the empire for all these out
lays by disposing of the purchased lands te
occuplers, and collecting in the shape or pay
menta therefer Huch rents as will recover the
whole sum Kick in torty-nine years. As at
present framed, Mr. Gladstone's bill, accord
ing te the Journal, Uses the rents te be jnld
by the tenantH at four per cent. ier annum
en the amount of the purchase. When the
tenant has in rent paid te the Irish govern
ment the amount the land cost the gev em
inent he is te l)0oemo the owner. I u this way
without driving KnglUhmen from Ireland,
and In an easy aud reasonable way, it is pro pre

existed between the peasantry and the land

Twe weather-beaten atene buildings at
Hphrata, In Pennsylvania, remain as monu
ments en this slde of the water of the grevt
pletisllc movement In normally In the early
part of the eighteenth century. One of theso
was called "llcthsny," the ether ".Sharen."
A hundred anil thirty or Terty years age
therowero ethor buildings with these, and
the softening hand or time had net yet
touched any of them. The doorways were
then, as new, en the geund level, the pas
sages wero Just as narrow and dusky, the
cells had the svme llttle square windows te
let In the day. Hut the stones In that day
had a hue that reminded one or the quarry,
the mortar betvveen them was fresh, the
shingles In the roer had gs'here.1 no mess
nnilrerv llttle weather-stains the prlmeval
forests were yet within the horizon, aud
thore was everywhere an air of newness, of
advancement, and or prosperity nbeut the
Ouukard convent. One sees new neither
monks or nuns In these narrow lnllways
monks and nuns are nowhere about Kphrata.
eTcent In the grav eyard where all the breth
ren of Itethany, anil all the sisters wtioeuco
peopled Sharen, sleep tegether in the meld.
Hut In the middle or the eighteenth century
their bare feet shullled upon the stairs as,
clad In white heeded cloaks desceuding te
the very ground, they gilded in aud out of
the low deer, or assembled in the llttle
chapel called ".Ien" te attend service under
the lead or thelr rounder, Cenrad lieisseis.
In the con vent, where he reigned supreme,
llelsselswas known as Hrottier l'reklsaui ;
later lie was roverentlv called Fathcruni
Gettrccht, a name that, like all their convent
names, had plenty et mjstlcal significance
attached te it.
Hut monks and nuns are men and women ;
and neither cloister life, nor capuchlu heeds
and cloaks, nor lure feet, nor protracted mid
night services can prevent heart-biirnlucs
and rivalries nor can all of thee together put
down what Is most te Iw dreaded in n mon men
asterythe growth of atlectten between man
and woman. What could be done te tame
human nature Inte submission, te bring It te
rejeice only In unearthly meditations and a
contented round or scir-deniat and psalm
slngltip, ltretber rrledsam had tried en his
followers with the unsparing hand of a re
ligieus eutmisiasu no uau loremuen an
animal reed. Net only was meat cr evll
tendency, but milk, he said, made the spirit
heavy and narrow ; butter and cheese pro pre
duced similar disabilities; eggs excited the
passions; honey made the eyes bright and
the heart cheerful, but did net clear the v oice
for music. Se he approved chlally or these
plain things that sprang direct from the
earth, particularly of potatoes, turnips,
aud ether roots, with a llttle bread soup
and such-llke ghostly diet, l'er a drink he
w euld hav e nothing but w hat he called "In
nocent clear water," Just as It flowed from
the spring.
Hut even ndlsli or potatoes and turnips
aud lieets and carrots eaten from wooden
trenchers without milk or butter or meat,
was net sufficient te make the atloctiens and
rasslonsei men and women as ethereal as
rrledsam wished. He wedded his people in
mystic marriage te "the Chaste I.amb," te
borrow his trequent phrase. They sang
ecstatically of a mystical city or brotherly nnd
sisterly affection which they, in common
with ethor dreamers or the time, called Phil
adelphia, and they rejoiced In a divlne
creature called In their mystical jargon
.Sejind, which I suppose meant wisdom,
wisdom divorced Ireiu common sense. Thee
anchorites did net eschew social enjoyment,
but held little leve leasts le which the sisters
new invited the brethren, aud next the
brethren entertained the sisters with un un
huttered parsnip and draughts or innocent
Clearwater, no doubt.
II.
That which was most romarkable nt
Hphrat.1, and that out or which grew a my
story, was the music. Hrother Knedsam,
besides his cares of organization, nuance, and
administration, and ids mystical theological
speculations was nlse a poet- Most or the
songs sung In the little building called
" V.ieii " were written by him songs about
"the louesemo turtle-dove in the wilder
ness," that Is the church ; songs In pralse or
the mystical marriage or virgins with the
chaste Lamb ; songs about the Philadelphia!!
brotherhood or saints, about the divine
Sephia, and about many ether things which
no man can understand, I am sure, until he
has tlrst purified hluiselt from the grass
humors et the flesh by a heavenly diet or
turnips and spring water. Te the brethren
and sisters who bolleved thelr little com
munity iu the Pennsylvania weeds te be
" the Weman In the Wilderness " seen by
St, Jehn, these words represented the only
substantial and valuable, tilings in
the wide universe j and they sang
the songs or Cenrad Helssels with
as much ferver as they could have
sung tlie songs of heaven Itself.
Helssels the Friedsam or the brotherhood
was net only the ioet but the composer or the
choral songs and a coiupetor et rare merit.
The music he vvrote is preserved as it was
copied out w ith great painstaking by the
brethren and sisters. In looking ever the
wonderful old manuscript note-book the first
Impression is ene et delight with the quaint
symlKilIc illuminations wrought by the nuns
of Kphrata upon the margins. Hut these who
knovvmusledeclaroth.it the melodies are
lovely, and that the whele structure of the
harmonies is masterful, and worthy or the
rame they had In the days when monks and
nuns irrnrmed them under the lead or
Hrother rrledsam hlmself. In the gallery
of Zleu house, but concealed from the view
ei the brethren, sat the sisterhood, llke a
company or saints In spotless rebes. Helnw,
the brethern, llkowise in white, answered te
the choir abeve in antlnhenal singing or the
loveliest and most faultless sort. Strangers
journeyed from afar ever rough country
reads te hear this wonder 1 ill chorus u'id
were moved iu tlie depths or thelr souls with
thelndoscribableswoelnoss and loftiness et
the music, and with the charm and expres
siveness or Its rendering by these pale-faced
othor-werldly singers.
Hut thelr ierltien of execution was at
tained at a cost almost tee great. Hrother
rrledsam was a fanatic, and he was alie an
artist. He obliged the brethren and sisters
te submit te the most rigorous training. In
this as in religion, he subordinated them te
his ideals, lie would fain tune thelr very
souls te his own key ; and he exacted a pre
cision that wasdilllcult of attainment by men
and women or av erage fallibility and careless
ness. The men singers were divided into
flve choruses of five persons each ; the sisters
were classified, according te the pitch ei their
voices into three divisions oaclief which
sang or kept silent, according te the duty
assigned te It iu the uote book. At the lovo levo love
fcasts these choruses sat side bysldeatthe
table, no as te be ready te sing tegether w 1th
erfect precision whenever a song should be
announced. At the singing school Hrother
Krledsam could net abide the least defevt;
he rated roundly the brother or sister who
made any mistake ; he sceurged thelr lagging
aspirations toward perfection. If It is ever
necessary te account for bad tenier in
musicians, one might suggest that the water
gruel diet had impaired his temper and
theirs ; certain It is that out or the production
et se much heavenly harmony there sprang
discord. Tlie brethren and sisters grew dally
mere and mere indignant at the severity or
the director, whom they reverenced as a
religious guide, but against whom, us a musi
cal conductor, tliey rebelled in thelr hearts,
in.
The sisters were the first te net at this cri
sis. At thelr knitting and their sewing they
talked alieut It, In the kitchen they discussed
It, until thelr hearts burned within them.
Kven in illuminating the note-hook with
pretty billing turtledoves, and emblamatle
flowers such us must have grown In piradlse,
slnce nothing or the sort was ev or known in
any earthly garden ev en In painting these,
some of the nuns rame near te selling thelr
colors and their page with tears.
Ouly Margaretha Theme, who was known
In the convent as "Sister Tabea," shed no
tears. She worked with pen aud brush, and
heard the nthers talk ; new and then, when
somesevoro worder Hretlier I'rleds.uii was
repeated, she would leek up with n signifi

"The Jlefcavaller doesn't talk," said Sister
Thecla. This Thecla had given the nickname
or "Hefcavaller," noble courtier, toTabea at
her first arrival in the convent en account et
her magnificent figure aud high carriage,
"Yeu shouldn't glve nicknames, sister
Thecla."
The last speaker was a sister with an aus aus

The temerity of this preposition took
q'hecla's breath, but tt set the storm -glug
mere v Igoreusly than tsfore among the sis
terhood, who, having round somebody reuly
te bell the cat, grew eager te have 'the cat

choruses or the sisterhood, stoutly delended
Hretlier l'rleiKvin, thinking, rhaps that It
was net a bad thing te hav e the conceit el the
singer reduced; Indeed, alie was es(svially
pleased that Talsu, the unsurpassed singer
et the slsters' gallery, should hav e suffered
rebukev
At length it was agreed that Tabea should
tell Hretlier rrledsam that the sisters did net
Intend te go toshigiug-scheol again.
Then Tabea lifted up her dark head and re
garded Ihecirclenf women In white giriueuLs
about her.
"Yeu are all brave new, but when Hrntltci

"There speke the Hefcavaller," giggled
Thecla.
"Sister Tabea," said Jael, "IT you goon
as you are going, you will end by leaving the
cenv out and breaking your vow's, Mark my
werus."
" 1 am going te finish this turtle-dove first,
though," said Tabea, gayly.
It was finally agreed Mist irTubei would
sneak te the director en behall et the sister
heed, the sisters would resolutely stand by
their threat, nnd that they would absent
themselves from Hretlier rrledsam' music
drills long enough te hav e thein understand
that they were net te be treated llkechlldren.
Te the surprise or nil, Tabea leU her work at
ence, covered up her head with the heed at
tached te her gew n, and sought the ledge or
Hretlier Friedsam, w hlch steed txitw ecu
Bethany and Sharen.
When Tabea was admitted te the cell, and
steed be for e the revered FrksKvm, she lelt
an unexpected palpitation. Ner was Heltel
any mere com posed. He could never speak
te "this girl without some mental disturb
ance " Hretlier FriiHlsam," she said, " 1 am sent
by the sisters te say that they are very Indig
nant at your treatment of them In tlie rehear
sals and that they are net going te attend
them hereafter."
Helssels' sensitlve lips tpilveied n mo
ment; this sudden rebellion surprised him,
and he did net at first see hew tejneet It.
" Yeu suggested this course te liiem, 1 sup
pose " he said after a pau&
" Ne, Hretlier Friedsam, 1 had nothing le
de with it until new. Hut 1 think thev are
right, and 1 hope they will keep te their
word. Yeu have been altogether tee bird
en us."
The director made no reply, but wearily
leaned his pale, refined face upon his hand
aud looked up at Tabea. This leek or in
quiry had something et unhipplness in it
that touched the nun's heart, and she was
hair sorry that she had spoken se sharply.
She fumbled for the wooden latch of the tloer
presently, and went out with a sense el In
w ard deleat and auneyam e.
"Tlie Hofcavaller docs net come back with
head in the air," murmured Thecl v. " A Uul

" I gave the message," said Sister Taber,
"and Hretber Friedsam did net say whether
the tour tarts snug bv the men would Insuffi

he will de ; he will caw you all back w ithm

"And you will leave the convent nnd break
your vow s ; mark mj w ertls," said Sister
Jael, w ith sharpness. "
" It will be alter 1 get this page finished, 1
tell you," said q'abea. Hut she did net seem
In haste te finish the page, for net cheesing
te show hew much she had been discom
posed by Hretlier Friedsam's wis. nil and
inquiring leek, she gathered up her brush,
lier colors and the noto-beok page en which
she had been ut work, ami went up the stairs
alongside the great chimney, shutting hcretf
in her cell.
Once there, the picture of Friedsam's f.ve
came vividly bolore her. She recalls her first
meeting with him at her mother's house en
the Wissahickon, and hew her heart had gene

character was out et the common. T de net
say that she had consciously loved him as she
listened te him, sitting there en the home
undo steel iu her mother's cabin aud
talking of things beyend comprehension.
Hut she could have loved him, and
she did worship him. It was the r r
senal fascination of Hrother rnedsain
and her own vigorous hatred of com
monplace that had had led her three cirs
before te join the sisterhood iu the Sharen
house. She did net knew te what degree a
desire for Ueissels' companlensip had drawn
her te accept his speculations concerning the
mystical Sephia aud the Philadelphia fellow
ship. Hut the convent had proved a disap
pointment. She had seen little of thegrcit
Hretlier i'riedsani, nnd he had given her,
instead of friendly notlce and approval, inly
a schoolmaster's scolding new and then ler
slight faults committed Iu singing a new
piece.
As she sat thore in gloomy meditation
Jael's evil prediction entered her mind, and
she amused herselt with dreams or what
might take place ir she should leave the con
vent and go out Inte the world again.
In putting away her pa(ers a little note fell
out.
"The geese at it agiln," he siid.
She liad that day received some blank
paper from the paper mill el the community,
and Daniel Scheible had put this llttle lev e
letter Inte the fuckagenf which he was the
bearer. He had sent such letters lofero, and
Talea, though she had net answered them,
had kept them, partly because she did net
wish te inform theso iu authority or this
breach et rule, partly Imxiuise se much dell dell
ancenfthe law or the place gave a little est
te a monotonous life, and pirtly because she
was a young woman, and therefore net ills,
pleased with allectleu, even from a youth In
whom she had no niore than a friendly in
terest. IV.
Scholble's p-irents had been Dunkards per
secuted In Hurone, who liad sought refuge
lrem thelr troubles by the bad expedient et
taking ship for Philadelphia, witii ah under
standing that they were, according te custom,
te be sold ler a term or years te pav the rare.
Among a multitude who died en the passage
from the overcrowding and liad feed were
Daniel's father aud mother, nnd the little lad
was sold ler the rest et his minority te pay
his own fare as well as that of the dead mem
bers of his family. Asa premising boy, lie
liad been bought by the Kphrata brotherhood
and bred Inte the iratemitv. With the
audacity of youth he had conceived n great
passion for Tabea, and new that his ap
prenticeship was about te oxplre he amused
tier with surreptitious notes. Te-dav, for the
first time, Tabea began te think of the jkis
slblllty of marrying Scheible, chlelly,
perhaps, lrem a vague desire te osiape from
the convent, which could net but be irksome
te ene el her spirit. Scheible was ambitious,
and It was his plan, as she knew, te go te
Philadelphia te make his fortune ; unit she
and he tegether, what might they net de'
Then she laughed at herself for such a dry
dream, anil went out te de her share of
household duties singing mellillunusly, as
she trod barefoot through the passages, a
mystic song of hepe nnd renuncHtien,

Hut though te-day she sang of the laughter

The very next d ty Scheible, who had been
melancholy ever since he Is-gan te send te
'l'abei letters that brought no answer, was
observed te lie In n mood se glee hi I th-it his
companions in the tuper-mlll doubted his
sanity. The fountain or this Jev was a nole
from Taltvi stewed away Iu the pocket or his
gown. She had net signed It with her con
vent title, but with the initials M. T., ter her
proper name, Margaretha Theme. There
were many tluctuatlens In Tabei mind and
many eruisive notes from Scheible liernre
the nun nt length premised te fersake the
convent, new grown bitter le her, for the
Jey or a home. Kven then Daniel could net
tieip liciliig insecure iu tegnrd te n piece el
geed fortune se darzllng, and he sent nole
nfier nole te urge her te have the da v for the
wedding fixed.
.Meantime the young man created but llttle
sensation by lenv mg the mill, as hi term el
apprenticeship hid expired, and he had
never iiretcwed linii h attachment te the
brotherhood.
sister T.ibea had persistently emitted the
rehears vis and se the grand choral w ere new
given en the sabbaths without her voice, nnd
Jael hud felt no little exultation nt this state
or things. At length alter much wavering,
Tabe.i in ule it liii.il resolution te leave the
convent, nnd te accept the love el the ad
venturous jeutli who had shown se per
slstent nil atleotlen hir her.
As seen as the day or the wedding was ar
ranged by mean or the surreptitious notes
which she continued te exilinnge .vlth
Schelble, iie prepared te leave Sharen anil
Kphrata. Hut nothing could Ik farther Ir.mi
her plans thin the project proposed by her
lev or that she should elei w ith him at night.
i.ieeii meant te m.ircii out w Ith nil tier color
living.
First of all she went te soe the sinister
prophetess, Sister Jael.
" I've finished that turtle-dove, Sister Jael,
and new I nm going te leive the sisterhood,
and marry Damel .soheible."
Nothing Is se surprising te prophet as the
fulfillment of his most confident prediction.
.iaei iuokeu an nguasi, anuner iace splintered
into the most ontradictery lines in the cltert
te give expression te the most conflicting
emotions.
" I'm astonished at yen," she said reprev -ingly,
when she get breath.
' h, 1 thought veu expected It," re
plied T.ilv.
" ill you break veur vow ""'
" 'Ws. Why shouldn't a woman break a
vow in vie by u girl" And se, geed-live,
Sister Jael. Can't you wish me much je;;"
Hut Jael turned sharply aw ,iy hi n horror
that euld find no utterance.
Thecla 1 liighed as washer went.and wished
Tabe.i happiness, but intimated tint Daniel
was a bold man te uudertike te subdue the
lleu-avalier. Sister I'ersida's woman's heart
was set all a-flutter, nnd she quite forget that
she was trying le Ih a nun, and that she le
longed te the solitary and forsaken turtle
dove In the wilderness. She whispered In
'label's ear: "You'll leek e nice when
you're married, dear, nnd Daniel will Iki se
pleased, nnd the j'eung men will steal jour
shpsr oil your loot nt the dinner-table, and
hew I wish 1 could be there te ee you mar
ried. Hut eh, Tabea ' 1 don't see hew you
dare te taee thorn all. I'd Just run away with
all my might If! were In your place."
VII.
And se each one took the startling Intelli
gence according te her character, and seen
nil work was suspended, and every Inmate
cf Sharen was gathered In unwonted oxcito excito oxcite
mont in the halls and the common room.
When Tabea passed out or the lew-Uirred
deer of Sharen she nut the nidl-int fa a of
Scheible, who had tied ids two .saddle-horses
a little way off.
"I ome quickly, Tabea," he said with im im im
pitiome, "Ne, Daniel , it won't de te le rmle. I
niut tell Hretlier Friedsam goed-byo."
"Ne, don't," said Diniel, turning pale with
terror, "ir j-nu go Iu te sts the diiocter, jeu
will never come with me."
"Why won't I -" lauglud the defiant ulrl.
"II )'s n w iard, aud has charms that he gets
out et his gnat books. Don't go iu there;
you'll never get away."
Daniel held en te fhe IVuiisvliaiiia Dutch
superstitious but Tabea only I iitghed and
said, "1 nm net afraid of wiards." She
loektsl the llef.-avalier morn thin ever as she
left the trembling fellow and went up te tlie
iloerot Hretlier Friedsam's ledge.
"She isn't alrald el the ilertl," muttered
selioible.
Tabea knocked at the deer.
"I'eme in and welcome, vvhoeverlhou.irt,"
said the director lrem w Ithiu.
Hut when she had lifted the latch and
pushed hick the deer, squeaking en Its
wooden hinges, 'I abea found that Friedsam
was engaged iu some business with the prier
or the convent, the learned l)r. I'uter Miller,
known st Kphrata us Hretber Jabez. Fried
sam did net at first leek up. The delay om em
lurrassed her; she had tlmotesee, with paln
ful clearness all the llttle articles in the
slenderly furnished room. She noticed
that the billet el weed which lay for a
pillow, according te the Kphrata custom,
ou a burn Isinch used for a bed, was
worn upon ene side with long use;
she saw new the bell-repe by means or which
I'reldsain called the brethren and sisters te
prayers at any hour in the night, hiingdang
ilng near the bench, se that the bell might be
pulled ou a sudden Inspiration even while the
director was rising from his wooden couch :
she noted the big books; and then a great
reverence for hlsplety and learning foil uien
her, nnd a homesick regret ; ami Schulhle
and the welding frolic did net seem se at
tractive alter nil. Nevertheless, she held up
her head llke a defiant Hele waller.
Altera tlme Hrother Jabe with a kind
greeting passed her, and the director, look
ing up, said very gently :
" 1 w Ish j-eu a very geed day, Sister Tabex"
" I nm no longer Sister Taben, but Marga
retha '1 home. 1 have said adieu te nil Iu
Sharen, aud new I ceme te say goed-byo te
Hrother Friedsam. I am going te lay aside
these garments and inarry Daniel Sehelble."
She held out her hand, but Friedsam was
tee much stunned te see it.
" Yeu have broken your vow I Yeu have
donled the l,erd 1"
There was no soverlty Iu his desjiendent
robiilte ; it had the v lbratleu or an luv eluulary
crv of surprise and pain.
Tabea was net prepared for this. Severity
she could have defied; but this cry of a
prephet awakened her own conscience, and
she trembled ns though she was In the light
or a clear-seeing divine Judgment.
" Veu cm speak se, Hretlier Friedsam for
yen have no human weaknesses. 1 am net
suited te a convent ; I never can be happy
here. 1 am net Kilbmlsslve. 1 want te Imi
necesssary te Homelxxly. Nobody cares for
moliere. Yeu de net mind whether 1 sing
in the chorals or net, mid you wilt lie latter
pleased te have me nway, ami ttm ijeimi."
Then, finding that the director remained
silent, she said, with dilution : "Hrother
Friedsam, I havea great leiereiue for you,
but I wish you te knew something of the In
firmities of a heart that wants te leve and In
be loved by someliody, and then uriylw) you
would net think se very hardly of Tabea
idler she hus gene."
There was a tone of beseeching in these last
words which Tabea had net been went te
use.
'I he director looked mere numb new than
ever. Tabea'H words had given jhlni a nole
blew and he could net at once recover. Ills
lips moved without speaking, and hlslice
assumed a leek betokening Inwaitl suuer-
llllT.
"Great Gisl or wisdom, must I then tell
her r" said Friedsam w hen he get breath.
He steed up and gimsd out or the square w In
dew In indecision.
"Tabea," he said presenlly, turning full
upon herund looking in her new jkjIe face
upturned te the light, "1 thought my secret
would die In my breast, but you wring It
from me. YOu say that I have no lullrinl
ties no desire for comjianlenslilp like ether
men or women. It is the voleo or Sephia,
the wisdom or the Almighty, that bids me
humble myself before you this day,"
Here he jviused Iu vfslble but suppressed
emotion. "These things" he said, pointing
te his woedon couch, "these hardsuljw of the
iKxly, Ihose self-denials of my vocation, glve
nie no trouble. 1 have ene great soul-alllle-lion,
aud that I what you reproach me for

The director fell faint; he Kit down and
looked dejectedly Inte the corner or the room
farthest away from where Tabea steed. He
loused hlmsclr Iu a few moments, ami turned
alsnit again, te find Tabea kneeling en the
llagstencs liefore hint,

1'rledsam regarded the kneeling figure rer

hands, solemnly placing them en her head
with a mother! v tenderness, whlle a tremor
went through his frame
"'Hum, dear child, sh.-iltde thv first work

withdrawing tils bauds he said: "I will

Tabea rose up slew ly and went out at the
deer, walking no longer llke a Hohivvidler,
but llke ene iu a trance, Dimly shesaw the
sisters standing without the deer of Sharen ;
thore was Thecla, with hair-amused face,
aud there was I'erslda, curious as evers
there were Sister l'etreiiellaaml Sister Hlan
illna and ethers and behind all the
straight, lall form or austere Jael. Without
turning te the right or lelt, Tabea di
rected her steps te the group at the deer or
Sharen.
"Ne' no 1 ceme, dear Tabea''' It was the
volceot Daniel Scheible, whose ex Istcnce she
had almost forgotten.
"Peer Haldel " she said, pausing and leek-
ing ni mm vviin puy.
'Don't say iJr Daniel,' biitfeuir."
"Peer boy I" said Tabea.
" 1 1 ii are liewitcheil," he cried, seiring her
and drawing her aw ny. "1 knew Friedsam
would put a charm ou veu."
she absently allowed him te lead her a few-
steps , thou, with another leek full of tender
pity nnd regret at his agitated race, she ov ev
trlcated herself trem his embrace, nnd
walked rapidly te tlie deer, ijulckenlng her
steps te escnH) his pursuing grasp, she
pushed through the group or slxters and lied
nleng the h illway, nnd up the stair, closing
the deer of her cell and fastening down the
latch.
Scheible, sure that showasunder some
evil spell, rushed after her, shook hiiuseir
loeso from the grip or Sister Jael, who
sought te step him, and reached the deer or
Tutiea's cell. Hut all his knocking brought

ceme calm, Talsra heard the crewing of a
cook, and her heart was deeply touched nt
the thought that Friedsim, the revered
rrledsam, new mere than ever the be be be
leved of her soul, was at that monient
going te prayer ler the disciple who had
broken her vow. she ro-e from her bench
aud fell 011 her knees ; and It she
mistook the mingled foelings or cu!leucu
and human pas-slen rer pure devotion, she
made the commonest mistake or enthusi
astic spiriLs.
Hut she was net left long te doubt that
Friedsam had remembered her; by the time
that the cock liad crewed the second time,

.
Daniel Schelble, who had wandered luck
te the neighborhood In the iilmlessness or dis
appointment, heard the monastery belt wak
ing all the reverlnrillens orthe forest, ami
saw light after light twinkle from the little
square windows or Itethany and Sharen;
then lie saw the monks and nuns ceme out
or Kelhany and Shaien, each carrying a small
patier lantern us they hastened te Ien. The

antipheual song ; aud disconsolate Scheible
cursed Friedsam and Kphrata, and went oil

When the hrst strophe liad lieen sung
ls)lew ami the sw eo'-veiced sisters caught up
the imtistrephe, Hrother Friedsam, sitting
in the midst, listened with pilnhil attention,
vainly trying te detect the sound el Talsvi's

res(ense, 11 thrill orexcitomoiit went thieugli
all as the long silent voice or Sister Tabea
rose distinctly nbove all, with even mere or
Its old fervor and expression.
And (he next Saturday, ter tlie seventh day

solemn, nnd Irrevocable vow ; and from that

Sister Auastis.1,1 the name signifying that
