In the convent reception room, In the first year of the Inst decade of tb prcneut century, two loven nit oppoiltt the. iinrior, Mother Bt, Uertrud, the three engaged til a conversation which deal with the two young people, and yet the nun Uk more than a pasaiiig lutcretd in it. Hlio standi in the rela tion of a mother to the girl. Mother Bt. Gertrude ia a woman of medium height, Bho In ntarlng tha half century murk, but the hppinw iijcycd in her ooiuniuniiy bat kept the fortuw of time from touching the faca thnt look out from her howl Ilka a Itnpbnullstle picture of the Madonna In uiinlilmi, and not dolurous. The man agemctit of the largo iustttotion over which she preside, embracing branch establishment railing for ranch judg nient and kuowliHlgn of finsncloriug, iiiH'eiMiirlly give her a doe'ier limlKht into the ways of the world than tba average mm can ever gain. The grentext saint in th caleudar have had the most buoyant of disposi tion; the deeds tlist eained their can onlxatlon nets of startling mirielaand surprising mortification having been drawn from tha catacomb of ecohxlM ticism, where they bad been prerv4 with the einbnliiinient of whatf Hu mor, sweet nud subtle) fancy, free and florid; Immunity, broad and blessed, all exercised in exorcising evil by ex citing joy mid awakening tho people into a new life thnt leads to the eternal; the holiest of men and women who have walked In the shadow of ascntlsm, dlHsamliiiited in their wake the light and Incentive to pleasure that kept their memories hallowed until tha church placed npon them the anreola of benediction. Of thin type is Mother St. Oortrnde, a pleasant woman, w-ltb a mind a sns ceplihlo to mirth a her heart is to suf fering, her interest in all ber friends, worldly and religious, not ignoring any feature of their Uvea. "Laurence, you know yonr own mind, don'i your" she asked, address ing the young num. "Isabel thinks you may change, if her ancestry turna out to have been plebeian." "Nonsense," said the young man. "The aristocrat of today was a barba rian yesterday. The old aristocrat waa dethroned and the title coniiscfltcd by tho savage conqueror who assumed, generally with piwr grace, an air of gentility ho fancied wua in keeping with his stolen grandeur. 'The rank is but the guinea's stamp,' you know," Laurence Mangnn was about 86 years of ago, tall, athletic, manly. He wai a newspaper man whose caustic articles had made hi in feared us his honesty had made him respected by the politi cian whom ho bad often thwarted in their dusigns upon the city ond county treasuries. Ills beuring Indicated self , dependence never vanity nor oildiisiva ! pride. His feature were hondsonie; hln character chivnlrlc. A Uyronic brow, surmounted by curls that distin guish tho sculpture typical of the Greek gods, rose abovo eyes whoso sparkle or lire, if yon will gave yon no hotter Idea of hisjiicutal strength than of his physical energy. . Isabel Lo Clair, aglow with the health and beauty of SO summers, look ed at him archly, gratified with his sen timents, but apparently still mistrust ful, as if something hidden in the fu ture wore yet to come betweon them. "Luuronco," sho askod, "are yon sure Mother Bt. Gertrude has told yon all?" "Of course," Interjected the nun. "I will repent It, because I know it will givo you more satisfaction, " "You needn't," snid Laurence, "Let me assure Isabel that it is herself, not her ancestry, I am in love with. Cir cumstances may undermine the romance I have built around her birth, but it cannot change her character, The sins of our ancestors," by commission or omission, mar not us, unless we brood upon them, and the false social spirit re-' Jects us through foor of their ebullition In ourselves. But, I believe" and in 1 .... ... ' tne eiiTjiiiHiiiBHi o( uib momem ne stop pod forward, lifted Isabel from her chair, and pressing her to his bosom kissed the upturned face "I believe yrith the pt Moorai "Oh, what was lev msitt for, tr tia out Ute ssra ..

Oer trttde, who bad herself arisen, tine bud msnnt to chide one or the other, prob ably both, but a she looked at the wil lowy form of her fair protega, heaving with delight, a blush of tnnidenly fervor making Isabel mora beautiful than over, her chiding failed to find voice, and it waa Laurence's word that broke tba silence i "Don't mind what I do, mother) tell Tour etory." "It isn't very lona," resumed tha ltr. "Isabel evidently cam of a good family, (the was brought to this institution nearly HO yeara ago by her father, George Leland. I waa assistant annetior then, Mr. Leland said ha ad a boy, aoiua years older, being cared for elsewhere, We never beard from blin but once after. Aa aha grew op, Isabel, not knowing or seeing any rela tive, took a fancy to tba tiama by which I waa known in tha world -Le Clair. It waa a child's whim. I humored It, Just aa I bava humored her In other things, but aha isn't spoil! vet, ia after" Thia waa intended to rally tha girl, who waa a little disconcerted and look ad from tba sister to tbe lover aa tha story was being told. Ia ber reatlesa oouspeetion a abrawd aya would detect that aha waa weudertag If Mother Bt, Gertrude's love for ber hadn't conjured before her vision a lineage which tba girl oould not claim. It could be eecn, too, that Isabel waa dunbtlng whether Laurenoa would remain unchanged by the atory, "Mr. Leland said ba waa going west" Tba nun added, "Isabel waa an Infant Iter mother bad died a few weeka tie fore bur father brought bar to us. Ha would not trust tba child, he aald, to other bands. Mr. Leland left a few bnndred dollar with Mother Xavier, then In charge of thla lustitoUou, tell ing ber she would bear from him fre quently. Wa got ona letter from Den ver Inclosing a money order. Bince then not a line baa reached na. I can not understand it, for hla parting from the child waa mrt affecting." "How long since ba wrote last?" asked Laurence, bla newspaper tuition involuntarily suggesting the query. "About 18 year. Hla letter we bava all II." "Did he talk of bis plan or pnrpoea, or give any clew that could be follow, ad." "No. I tske it," Mid the nun, "that he wss not a man who cared to discus bl personal affair with anybody, Hla letter waa vary brief." 4 " Did he write of Isabel ?" "No." "Nor of her brother?" 'Not a word." "Have you ever tried to locate blmf" "We bad no way to, without going Into print That we disliked. A few yeara ago, however, when we folt it waa time to inske known to lsals 1 ev erything, we freely gave bur permission to use whatever means she herself would choose, after counsel with us, to get Information of ber father. Our re ton res were offered to ber. Bbo pro pose, or did propose before she and you became such good friends" and the nun smiled as the two blushed "that aha wonld go out to tho convent of our order In Denver and from that point make her inquiries." "What do you think of tbe plan?" queried Isabel, addressing Mnngnn. "Not a bad one. But one used to the tranquillity of a convent t hardly qualified to put It into execution," "Tbat'a a reflection on my set," re plied Isabel Impetuously. "Have you forgotten btstoryf From the days of Deborah and Judith down to the pre. ant, whenever great deeds demand ac complishment, tha women of peaceful hour and restful habits have been call ad upon to b-r tha brunt of battle, not tbe men and women reared In a biting atmosphere and Innred to hardship. My sex would not be against me, nor would my training be." "Ask her, Laurence, If she will go to Denver now," Jokingly suggested tha lster, 'Ince she has been so aevera npon you." "Not nnlesa I go with her," answer- ad Mangnn. "I'm lucky that she didn't go there before I fell In in" "In love with her, suggested Mother St. O or t reds, era be recovered from bia hesitancy. "Well that, if you please to have it so. Iiut I was thinking of other words." "That would mean the same?" "Go ahead, mother; don't spare me. You are teasing Isabel as well a me." Isabel didn t appear as indifferent aa Laurence to the raillery of the mother superior. Each satly heightened the carmine of bar cheeks and added to her embarrassment. For want of aught else to say or do, she again turned to her lover : , "What would you do under the cir cumstances?" "I know what I'm glad you didn't do." "And thnt is?" "That you didn't go to Denver," "Why?" interrogated Mother St Gortrnde, "Bocanse she might have been disap pointed and in despair drift into anoth er mood one that might ultimately have enveloped her with the veil of the sisterhood. Sometimes, sister, I'm afraid that yon '11 yet stoul her from ma." "There nre reasons why you should have no foar," said Mother St. Gertrude, smiling. "First, our order is unusual ly strict in regurd to its postulants. Now, the acceptance of Isabel could turn ont to be r. great sorrow to us and a disappointment to her. A few years hence hor fathor may return from the west with one of those immense for tunes people make there almost in a day, by some aocidental stroke. He would come here and And bia daughter a nun. Yearning for affection from bia child, he would rush into print, and what a Btory you newspaper men would weave around these incidents t Yes, you would actually say that we had coerced Isabel into taking the vows and veil of our commmiity, and that wa had conspired to get oontvol of hor wealth, if it came to pass that such would be hera by inheritance." "It may not be right for ma to suy it, mother,"' said Laursnc in a half tumorous way." "But I would help jiini to get hor out from behind these walls if I knew, as I now do, how lovely sho wus, " "Elton. Lacwme,"o!ead.d Isabel. "I don't mind him, child," aald Mother St. Gertrude, "Laurenoa boa been a friend to this institution. lie Im linen the one newspaper man who ha pictured tho work of our convent asylum and schools in words that bava inspired public generosity to our aid and made possible legislation relieving us of many little burden, giving us greater sppm-tunitlea to make onr In come f rnltf nl of good. I ought to put Up with something from him." "You forget, mother," anld Isabel, "to any how kind you have been to ma, I have staid here" turning to Lau rence "because I wanted to pay as teacher some of tbe debt I owe for tba education and support I bsve bad. Then, again, you know my ambition to find out something about my parentage, fearful sometime that It may not ba all I desire. 7 . "An angel ao fair need not worry about that." "I wanted to tell something else, Mother Ht. Gertrude," aba resumed, turning to tbe sister, "I would like not to enter another state you know what She rated her heml.vpon hi shoulder. I refer to until I was certain that there was nothing nothing"- and she was search lug for a phrase that would hint more than state ber Idea "nothing that would Impair bonds iu poned at the altur." "You want to say tbat you will not marry until you bave learned mora about your psrunts," interposed Man gan. "Yea." "Now that 1 a little unreasonable, Isn't it, sinter?" appealing to Mother St. Gertrude. "You two must settle tbat." "Yes, but what do you think about it?" "That yon two had better do tha thinking. I'm partial tolsaln l and yet am friendly enough to you to advise yoq for your own sake not to turn to a Judge who I prejudiced. " "1 am unalterable In thia resolu tion," Isabel mniutained. "Why didn't you tell m this long ago?" said Laurence. "It isovwtwo year since the commencement exer cises where I first met you, later to win your love." She looked up imploringly, ber fea tuies requesting biro to stop, though her tongue gave not ntterrance to tba thought that played upon ber counte nance.
