he held the Easter-card befo re him
1t had been just at.this time that he
had parted last from Sybil. How well
he remembered the day and the circum-
stance.
She had been in the little Hallicote
chapel where he had been TO find her.
It was q fair April day, and she was
busy preparing the altar for the Easter
service,
She had told him that she was to
suporintend the decorations, and when
he went to say goodbye to her, he had
taken with him rustic cross of his
own manufacture, which he had twined
with lilies and with passson-lowers.
If seemed like yesterday that he had
stood before her and seen the pleased
look on her sweet face rs he held his Of
fering up for her TO admire.
And what did il meanP As he sat
there before the glowing fire this came
back to him with more distinctness
than recollection. 1t was reproduced
on the pretty card Miss de Veau had
sent him.
1t may have been only a coincidence,
he thought, rs his heart gave bound
of recognition; but there was the tall
window of stained glass, through which
the rainbow-colored light fell on SYPHILIS
beautiful hair, and the white tluted
columns of the altar There was the
marble font bathed in pure rose-color,
the pile of flowers at SYPHILIS feet, and he
standing before her in his sailor clothes,
holding up the cross with look of in
terrogation. That was he--yes! And
it must be Sybil! He said so, though
the girls face was turned aside, and
only a shadowy glimpse OF her profile
was observable.
1t was a beautiful picture. Warren
saw that at glance; but who was the
artist? 1t must be someone who had
known Sybil. someone who had witness
ed their parting that EaSter-tide,
The thoughts and suggestions that
crowded Warren'S brain seemed to set
it on fire He rose and paced the room
with feeling of unrest. \ hundred
emotions which he had thought were
dead and buried came thronging back
10 his heart at this touch upon the harp
string Of memory.
"Ah. Miss Gertrude de Neau, your
selection was peculiarly unfortunate, ~
When the hands of the clock were
| pointing To eleven, Warren had put on
his overcoat and was ready TO 90 out.
The Easter-card was in his vest
pocket, but in memorandum-book
which he'carried in his hand was written
| the name and address of the firm which
had reproduced 50 exactly this scene
from his unforrotten past.
Can Won tel me. sir" Warren ask
ed Of the senior partner. who i, the
author Of this DESIGN? | have taken a
fancy 10 it. and would ike 10 know the
artists name"
Oh" was the prompt reply. that
il one # our prize cards. !, was drawn

Somehow Warrep's heart sunk at this
response
He had not known himself Of all the
hone. which he had cherished. and the
name Of Mr.. Temple struck him ike a
| blow.

! slowly.
