£ oy gul a0 v, ) B i e Sl il "ot MISERERI MEI DOMINI By CHARLES W. CUNO. In the province of San Diego, near e River La Plaza, grew at one time the prettiest flow- er nature had ever fashioned in- to womanhood, A rustic picture was she, indeed, dl- vine, Mercedes. Don Palo, dark, handsome, stood beneath a festoon- ed palmetto nd' gazed enraptured at this pitcure. In the distance could be heard the silvery peal of a convent bell and, when the wind' quieted, the faint echo of the Misererl floated on the air. Palo approached and touched the listening girl upon the arm. ! *Oh, Palo! Is it you?” she cried. | Be took her bands in his and print- ®d a fervent kiss upon her lips. “Yes, MMercedes,” he answered, “1 have come Back to see you once again.” . “But— but—" she began. . “No, Chiquita, there is little dan- wer. No one knows that I am here.” Out of the convent window Sister Borice looked listlessly. As she looked the two parted, and Blercedes was left standing alone. She was the daughter of a miller, he the won of the governor of the province of San Diego. Sister Sorice shook Rer head sadly. Three months before she had witnessed their first meeting. * When Palo went to his father and wonfessed his love for Mercedes, he Bew into an awful rage. “Son,” he sald sternly, “you will mever go near the miller's daughter mgain. I shall give orders. It you are caught there, you will be put in prison. Remember, 1 mean what I ” But Palo came again to see his Mercedes and Sister Sorice was watch- Sng from her high convent window. Alas, he came to tell his sweetheart that he is going away on a trip to far off Spain, but he will be back sgain in a year, perhaps sooner. will she walit for him till then? “In the morning,” he said, “I may wee you again, ‘tis for the last time by the bridge that goes over the Plaza, s it not so? Mia Carrissima!” Tears came to the girl's eyes as she wodded her head. He kissed her and went down the path.

She was about to fly into his arms, when, out from the shrubbery stepped a soldier. *“I arrest you Senor,” he sald. The officer's back was turned:toward : her. An impulse, a flash, and it was done. She had drawn the dagger from her girdle and plunged it into his back. | He fell like a log. Palo shraak baok | aghast. “If I am caught now,” he cried. “But you will not. Go! , Go} sbe eried, in frenzy pushing Iim toward the bridge. At the bridge she stop- ped. “Kiss me once,” she cried. He. stooped and kissed her passionate- ly. They parted and Mercedes began to: run quickly through the woods. She saw people standing around the body. She fancied she heard her: name spoken. Fleet as a deer, she- sped away, but hefore she had' gone- a hundred yards, she was discovered. There was a shout and a dozen start- ed after her, The silver bell of the convent was: again ringing and she ran instinctively- towards the sombre sheltering walls.. She stumbled up the steps and fell | into the arms of Sister Sorice Snatching the silver. crucifix from | her girdle Sorice held it defiantly into the faces of the oncoming mob. They recoiled from it as from a great re~ pellant rorce. “Stop,” she cried, “she: has taken refuge with God. Would you defile the sanctuary of the Lord?" They looked into the calm, deo termined face of Sister Sorice, and one by one, slunk shamefacedly away. Trembling, Mercedes wept out her story to the sister, who, whem she heard it, wept with her. “My child,” said Sister Soriee, gent- ly putting her arm about Mercedes, “I will tell you a story. Twenty years ago a maiden bid her lover good-bye by that little bridge down there. ‘Walt for me,’ he said. But he did mot, and sooa the took refuge in this convent to hide | her shame. A little girl was born and a good man took pity on it and adopt- ed it as his own, That maid, Mercedes, was myself. For twenty years I have looked down that road, watching, for the return of my lover.” She paused and looked at Mempedes with infinite yearning. “And ., you,” she continued at last, “Has thq,miller never told you.” Mercedes looked at the aister in surprise. “Told me what?” “You—you are—my—child;" Many years have passed since then, One weary watcher bas heea laid to rest, but there is a sister still, with snowy white hair and kind, wistful face, who stands by the high little window and looks out. upon the road. Perhaps she fanciga she hears a voice. It is only the humming of the old bell and the echo of the quavering voices as they sing: “Misereri mel Domini." (Copyright, by Dally Story ub.
