Morgan turned away abruptly. He had
nothing more to say TO Mr.. Bartholomew, for
while it was easy to express something he did
not feel, it was quite another thing to feign
indifference where he was so greatly inter-
ested And now it was almost impossible for
him to leave the store without making fur

time as he had passed the door, the feeling
that she was within and that he was serving
her by not entering, gave him not only self
approval, but a manly sentiment of loyalty.
If he could not see her, he could honor her
at distance and wait, But now, to find
her gone utterly disarmed him, and held him
up before himself as one contemplates an
other man He almost regretted having
agreed 50 willingly TO Laura's determination
to end their innocent acquaintance He even
wondered il She was n coquette, and had re-
coded, expecting him to follow
Morgan left the store but as he passed out
he met the gray haired porter and recognized
him as tho man who had attended Laura

vorSatiOn The door soon closed on the
young journalist, whose heart fairly beat the

town, wondering whether any other fellow
had as many dlsappulutments as he and
whether there were ever any girls who turned
out just as a fellow expected And this was
such an annoying matter! There were so

her kith and kin could have proved him hon

Easter Thoughts.

Kneeling beside her mid kneeling throng
In the dim twilight Of the temple, where
The Easter buds scent laden, filed the air
With sweet aroma, and the solemn song,
Low chanted floated through the holy place,
watched the curtain Of her melting eyes
Veil their soft radiance, and DER that fair face
Stole reverent stiffness, as with gentle signs
Sins from her sinless lips were soon confessed.
Cab, fairest saint, were all sins but as thneD
Then lifting her white forehead from its pil
lowed rest
Turning her sad sweet usage, pure with thought
divine
She murrnured bending toward me as sat-

A month appeared to pass while Morgan
Starr remained there in the darkness, but
finally he heard the singers coming down, and
stepped into the vcstibule. As Laura de-
seconded the narrow stairway into the full
light, it was as if some one had presented him
to his queen. He made n movement of such
spontaneous devotion, so full of all that was
in him to express, that she at once advanced
and placed her hand in his. He transferred
it to his arm, and together they passed out
from old st. Clements. What they said and
what they did belongs to the new life of
Easter day, but when the young lover heard
his promised wife sing Tersteegons glorious
