The mother Biiporler withdrew, and net till she was safe once mere within the cinveut walls did she give way te the agony of her soul.

It required great ceurage te break the news te the sisterhood, and te bear their Berrow and despair. What was te beceme of them 7 Where should tbr-y go? Heme of them had homes; Bomewcreoldand knew net where te turn; each Individual case would have te be considered. With atremblinghand the motherstiperior chese the hymns for the benediction. A vague Idea was In her mind that she would like the hearts of the soldiers touched, as they must be if they are human. She told the iters ie, and with a kind ofabseluto trust In her, they determined te sing their very best. The mother superior gat e the book into Assunta'a hand, and looked at her ; her race was the aame as usual, the story had converted no Idea te her mind whatever she did net un derstand It- The hour came. The little church was crowded, as It always was for benediction, and in the foremost places of honor, beside the prelect and the mayor, sat C'eL Montan Mentan elll and his young lieutenant, conspicuous by their uniforms and glancing epaulets. The service began, prasently the hymn be gan lrem the gallery behind. The three Btrangera started. It was the "Pange,llngua, glorlesl," that Assunta sang, and her voice, beglnulng softly, rolled en In a glorious vol ume of sound, the last part of each verse sung In chorus by all the sisters. It died away and there was a pause, while everyone knelt; then the sitne voice, began te sing again a ery St. Cecilia ana mis urae sne began the evening hymn very sertly. "Te lucls ante termlnum." And hardly had she finished than all together they sung the "Nunedlmlttls." Kvery one rose from their knees thinking that all was ever, w ben suddenly once mere Aaaunta'a voice burst upon them; she sang powerfully, the grand notes ringing en the ear. GlorisIatil,Klerlaril.o.glorli.SrilrHulSmi-to, SIcnterattn prlnclpleet unnc et eraper." iter voice gained (strength, and the lat words rolled en a tide of hound none there had ever heard equalled "Kt In saecula saeculemm." The whole congregation with a strange ex citement and strong emotion joined in the last amen. The mother superior rose from her knees, wiped away tbe het tears ttiat had rushed into her eve-s and went down from the gal lery into tbe convent, shutting the deer el the private staircase Inte the hall as she did se. She feuud the officers waiting for her in nn enthusiasm ofndmlratien for what they had heard. What is she like, madame, this shier with the wonderful voice ?" asked MontanellL "1 never heard Its like, net en the finest stage In lUirnpe !" "Stio would net Intorest you," ssid the mother, alarmed at the notice her peer inno cent child had excited. She led the way roso reso rose lutelv, but her heart 'ached and bled she could hardly bear te take the men Inte their little cells, and te think et what was coming. But they were very quiet, very respectful te her, ami when they had seen all, they thank ed her very civilly, they returned te the pas sage Inte h hich tlie private staircase came, and both men were looking up it se earnest ly that a sudden resolution came Inte the head of the mother superior. She begged them te wait, she went up with her quick, but dlgnllled step, and summoned the sister hood te come down. They rtnin down, walking two and two, passed the spectators and weut their way. As they psel,the mother touched Meutanelll's nrm. "Hebeid our sengstress," she said, and with a little movement of her head she lml 1 1 cated Sister Caterlna a very .stout and home ly woman who had long been allllcte.1 with the gout. "Per llance I" eacuated the two elllcers, and they took their leave with many bows and thanks. The mother superior sighed and slioel: her head. "1'er this little He heaeu will forglve me," she said. It was a terrlble eveuing that passed in the couvent, the Hlaters took their misrertuue in se many ways. Sisters Caterlna moaned and beat her breast ; Sister Menica looked tierce and aald harsh and bitter words ; Sister Glo Gle vanna knelt and sobbed and thought that Ged had withdrawn all help and protection from them. Hut Sister Kllzabetta asked strange childish questions about the world, and her eyes lighted with a lurtlve pleasure, and tbe mother superior felt that perhaps she meat of all needed her prayers. And the days that followed were full or strange and heartbreaking novelties. I'er hapj the donning of secular clothing was the worst te bear what they were Beeined sud denly te assume such a vast, out or proportion importance te them all ; and as each sister crept out of her cell, they dreaded te meet each ether's eyes, they felt se strange, se un natural. The elders were In passionate tears, some of the younger ones unable te abstaU from tearful giggtlug. The mother belonged te a rich family; they had willingly sent the necessary clothes, and some money te help each sister te get back. Hut, alas 1 hew odd, hew forlorn, hew ter ribly wide looked the outer world en the last morning they were te spend together. They were all aoembled for tbe last tiine te hear mass together, and as they came out of the church the people crowded round them, kissing thelr hands, sobbing, weep ing crying that the bleuingorGed was leav ing San Martina The mother superior was taking Assunta wiiu uer. nneceuiu notsenu uer out alone. Aasuuta knew nothing, save that when they took oirher whlte habit she moaned Hnd looked scared andlrlghtened, and she would net part with it she clung te it, and carried it with her In a little parcel. She and the mother eutered the diligence tegether, they looked back te glve ene parting leek te the weeplng crowd, te the sorrowful face of the old prlore, and they sa- the convent gates wide, wide open, even tha cloister deer open te nuy wee chese te enter, and the mother threw herseir back In her seat and hid her face itseomed mere than she could bear. 'Mether," said Assunta presently. "Mether, what are soldiers 7" The mother sii)rier looked at Assunta. It could net be only fancy had the shock of the last few days lecrea.sed yet mere the mist which surrounded her 7 Oh, if she could but detend and save her from and In the world ! "Soldiers are men whom you must al ways lly and avoid, my child," said the mother. "Thev are tralnnd mid ..rial ,n light each ether. Yeu mustnever sneak te them." " Would they hurt me, mother 7' " Oed will duteud his own, my child." " 1 am se cold." It was very cold; the bltter blse blew In through the dlllgence and freze thelr bleed. Seme driving showers el hall foil; they were worn out with sorrow and cold and exhaus tion befere they reached the lun whom they were te sleep that night. They slept tegether. The mether was awakened by As.unta meaning. " What la It, child 7" " I cannot find my cress, my wooden cress, mother." " YOU liaVO taken It Oil' With nur mntrenl habit. Ge te sleep go te sleep, and for get" But the meaning weke her again. " I cannot llnd my rosary, mether, and 1 have no veil." " Patlence, Assunta, it Is the will or Goj." " Hut Ged will uet knew 1110. He will net knew who It is without my dress. What shall 1 de 7" lie will net knew that it is As aunta."

Hha started up aa dressed In slckenln" anxiety Ne one had seen or mlssed her. Whaia ia he? Whathadbocemeofher? The world lay tinder a fall et snow ; It was very cold. The mother superior hired a lit tie carriage, having a strong Idea In her mlud that Assunta must have started en the read back te tbe Hantlsslma Annunziata, and that she would aoea overtake her. She con cen fltjad her story te the kind ears of the pa. dreits of the little Inn, who premised te help In every way, and then she mounted her lit teo carriage and drove slowly back all the way that she had come, looking out right and lelt, asking every ene that they passed whether they had seen a slender woman In black clothes, w Ith dreamy eyes, wandering along the read. Hut no ene had seen or heard of Asaunta. The mother's heart died within her. What had then Iwceme of this most holpless child of nil her most helpless nine heck t It was qulte dark whet she reached Sin Martlne and the tired horses pulled up at the deer of the prlnre's home, a gte.il cloud of steam rising from their smoking lUnks lu the hitter frosty ur. The priere was net within he had teen summoned Inte te a sick led but Ids housekeeper kissed the cold hands of the careworn woman, In her long black shawl, hardly reiVtgnUIng the mother suporler te whom she had looked up with such reverence.

At 10 o'clock the tappet nurched through, and from overy side the stragglltigseldlers tell In and took their way te their new barracks. "It Is the will of Ged that I have come back," sild the oer mother. " It Is His w 111 that I should drink me cup of humiliation te theery dreg." Hut where was AMtuitaT In the middle of the bitterly cold December ulsht Assuuta hail risen from bed sertly, gently, net te awaken the sleeping form of the mother superior. She was lest, nil lest. In this wide world the one though wasever In her mlud. At the Si.nttss!ma Annunzlata was the gate of heaven ; she must be there waiting in her white robes, or Hed would net knew her, and the angels would pas her by. 1 no aoer 01 tne inn was euiy en tne ia.cn. With her little bundle elapsed in her arms Assunta glided out. It was cold, very, very cold, but her hands and her brew were burn ing, and only ene thought possessed her, te get back home again. She walked ec through the dy, and when any carriage or cart cme along the read she hid herself be hind a hedge or a tree anywhere quite out el sight; carriages and carta were things of this world, and might Intercept her en her rapid way te the gate of beaveu. Then the dusk gathered reuud her she was but half way en her read ; her teet were tern and bleeding. She could euly go very slowly, she was se unused te walking. She crept into a little dry ditch all full et tha rustling brown dead leaves of the past, and she burrowed down In among them, and made tuesicuef tha cress, and fell asleep with tha stars shining down 011 her white upturned race. She was awakened by the bitter cold or tha early dawn. She could hardly rise, for the sharp agonizing pilns that shot through every tlmb as she slowly threw oil thelr torpor. Hut she dragged her self en. Ily and by the sun came out ami shed Its warm ray ever her, and Assuntn spread out her arm-s and let the warmth shine en her breast, and she tolled en. She passed a cot tage where two little children sat en the door step, eating their cakes et chestnut bread. She stepped and looked wistfully at thorn. Onaet them came forward timidly and put his rake into her frozen hands. She nte It eagerly, ravenously ; the child, half fright ened, ran Indoors and cried te bis methei te come out. The kindly con cen tadlna came out, and raiding the cold and hunger lu Avsunta's 03-os, she brought her a big bout el warm goat s mllK. "Drink and eat In tha name of the holy mother el Jesus, peer child," she said. When Assunta had finished, she rose up and put her hands together. "Shall I sing ter you,'- she said gently. "Yes, peer thing, If your songs are geed, but net It they are the devil's "engs, net (U for the children's cars." Assunta looked at her wistfully. " I must hasten, hasten," she said. "Ged does net knew me In this dress. It Is evident, for een the eyes of theso who are giving 1110 alms in She Itsgan tn sing, ".li'su dulcls niemens, Kans vera cenlla gaudla and the sound was se lovely that the children thought it must be an angel singing, and the centadina sank 011 her knees, ltefore she had finished her hymn, she was going en her way singing still, till the exqulslte music died away in the far distance ; and theso who were left 'behind, te their dying day, believed that their visitor with the blue dreamy eyes galng upwards was tne messed leellla uer seir. Assunta was net far rreni San Martlne new, but as tbe night closed in again, she lest her way, and wandered backward and lerward. She slept again In the bitter night air, and In the morning she could net rise or shake etl" the snow till the sun had risen, lly daylight she recognized where she w as in a little lane that led close up te the Santisslma Annun zlata, and she started te walk home, when suddenly, te her horror, In the path before her she saw two soldiers, the sun glittering en their snerd belts. Theso were the terrlble ones who, since the mother supHrier's werdlud been the haunt ing terrer of her life. M10 turned and lied again. She crept In among the chestnut trees and lay hidden all day; a strangedraunlness had come ever her, seething every sense and aching nerve; but when the twilight In creased around her, she gathered up all her strength. She took oil one by one the new evil clothes belonging te the world, nnd w ith stiff, aching arms she slowly denned her old dress. "New tbe angels will knew Assunta again," she said, and ahe prevted tha wooden cress te her lips. She waited till it was quite dark, and then she gilded along, en, en, te tbe little recterv deer, and into the cenvent. Tbe refectory was qulte slleut and empty, but a Btrange, unaccountable thing the deer of the cloister was wldoepen, a thing altogether forbidden by the mother. With her dress she resumed the old gentle, gliding gait, the hands Joined modestly under her long sleeves, her head bowed down, shaded by the creamy white of lf6r veil. Seltly she crossed the cloister; it was dark, but the dollcate tracery et each twisted column with tbe intricate feliagn work of its capital was just dlscernlble. Hut Assunta started, there was another change the deer upstairs te the dormitories was also open. She went en. Assunta's step was en the stair, when she paused in sudden lear, for a step was coming down from abeva a senndlng, ringing step, such as she had never befere beard, waking the echoes of the convent cloister. She steed at the feet of the stairs, one hand en her breast, the ether raised allrightedly, and down straight In front of her appeared a suiuiur uencemung. Assunta shrank back with a little cry of anguish ; she would have Med, but her limbs reiused te meve. She could only held out nor iremeiing nanus with a mute appeal ter mercy. "Maria Santisslma," eried the soldler, "onaet the geed sisters here! De net be afraid, my sister ; it U only I." At the sound of his voice she ventured te leek up. He was a very young soldier, beardless, with a round fresh taco and brown eyes surely he could net be se terrible as she had Imagined. He took her hand very respeetlully and kissed It. " I am coma home te die," said Assunta very seltly. "May I go up te my own cell 7 I will net disturb uny ene ; only let me go." The young soldier looked embarrassed. "Hut It is Impossible," he said. "Yeu can can net stay here, my sister. 1 will de what I can for you; but irthe lieutenant or some or the ethers haw you, they might net respect you as 1 de ; they de net leve the sisters." " Ah, thou Ged has sent you te meet me I Let me go In." "I can only de this for you, my sister. It is my duty te soe te tha mule. The sublels very dark, but the hay Is warm ; II you have no ether home, In Ged's name sleep there te-night, and I will brlugyeu loed." Hut Ass untu new could hardly meve or stand. In terrer lest his work of mercy should be disco ve red, the young soldier half led, half carried, her back through the cleis- ir auu reunu 10 tne convent stable. There was an empty stall he threw down soveral trusses of hay uuder the inanger and heliied her te He down. "There, my sUter," he said, " I will bring you some loed you are worn out. Santi Aposlell, but your hand is burning, yet you shrink with cold." ' J Asaunta was murmuring te herself, "They will llnd me bere ! They will knew me when they come. It is all right." " Yes, it is all right," said the young soldier. "And you will net loavethls place? It would bodangerous ler you te go out; alter all, Ilia holy mother herseir did net ills, daln a stable. Premise me you w 111 net go." " I will net," said Assunta. lie went out, closing the deer behltul him. Assunta lay quite still en the hay. She could hear the slew movement of 0110 of the mules In the stall next te her own ; It put Its brown, patient head ever the partition that divided them and looked down upon her. The moon streamed lu through theiattlce window and laid brilliant and silvery en tha fiT i,.: v.

Then Assunta heard a sound of music swelling round her, and she began te slug; " Adeste, Allele, l.all tiliiiuphsntes, Vonlte, I'lilte In ItiHUIi'hem .".mum Uilote Herein Atittelermii Venltn niloreiuin , tenlte iitlorenuis; vcntle ndoreimts, Demlnum ' It was Christmas eve. All tint soldiers were lu barracks, most of them asleep In their long dormitories wheu the clock struck li Hut soma of them were awakened by a sound or constant music, and thev woke each ether and sat up lu bed, their hair rising en their heads in terror, se strange, se marvel, leuslv bcaulllul was the sound. " It Is true w hat my mother used te tell us there are then angels," said one, cowering under his bed-clothes, and beginning rapidly his lung-torgetten prayers. Cel Moutanelll alone recognized the sound, and he rese irem tbe mother superior's cell which he occupied, and hastily dressed him self ami went In foirchet his lieutenant, whom he found silting up In bed white with the eerie feeling that he was close te the uneeu world. " Fazie," he said, " it Is the nun w he sang se wonderfully." "That la te say, It must be her spirit," said Fazla "Ne human veice could sing llke that" Heth meu steel sllent ; It rese onee mere, mat wanuerrul tloed or sound ; " cnlte aderemus; cnlti nderemus, veuttc a4eruimi9 Demlnnui. The low, soft, like a sound sobbing itselt away en the dying wind, came the deep Amen," and all was silent, n silence se pro found that Mentanelli pushed the damp hair from his brew, and shook himself te throw threw off the cold, numbing chill of rear. " This must be seen te," he said. " Get up l'azle, wa must take lanlerns, and search out this mystery. 1 will have no ghosts In my barracks." Fazie dressed himself nttickly even took down his sword and put It en as a kind or precaution. The two men went out Inte the nassatre te- gether; the quiet moonlight filled them with light. There was a sound of moving about aud taking in the soldiers' quarters. At the far window of ene stene passage a young soldier steed fully dressed, looking out. "Centl," said the colenol .inlckly. "who has been singing, and w here Is the singer " "Centl Minted. "I can only conjecture, my colonel," he said. "It I thought you would net blame me" "I will net blame you, or any ene who will preve te the satisfaction of all, that the veice was a human voice, and thoslngera living woman," said Montanellu Fazie behind him gave n sharp shiver. Was It cold or superstitious fear "1 can explain, my colenol," said Centl, turning his young, treah, Ingenuous face to wards his superior.
