at the gate and drew up a few yards fronn
the kitchen door, Then she saw they were
not alone.
Something was huddled on the lower step.
Gradually as they approached it took form,
and she saw an old man sitting in the sunlight,
| his head supported by his hand.
"Well, I declarel" exclaimed Miss Eliza
beth; land the key under the mat. If he'd
only known he wouldn't have left thing,
mebbe. You go on to the stable, Peter; I'm
not afraid; I'll speak to him."
She walked nimbly up to the respondent
figure and touched his shoulder.
whats the matter?' she asked, with
touch of Impotence.
/ The man raised his head and looked at her
with far off, dazed expression. His face
was pale and refined and bore marks of re-
cent illness He was pitifully thin and there
was the suggestion Of life's disappointment
in his glance. He seemed unable to speak.
"Are you sicki' she asked again, and her
voice was kinder; the dovelike softpess had
come back to her eyes.
"OnIy tired" he answered, and his sad eyes
looked at her quietly, intently.
Miss Elizabeth felt uncomfortable. He did
! not look like a tramp, although he was mis-
erably poor. His voice was soft and pleas
ant. Why did that strange, exultant chill
creep through her blood! What if his eyes
were gray and pleading like a well remem-
bered pair which had made sad havoc Of her
foolish heart; But there was a something
else about him, Miss Elizabeth could not tell
what-there was something
"You're an old FOOL Elizabeth Darrow,"
she said inwardly, and founced into the
house.
BY and by Peter appeared.
"You're not goin' to leave him sittin' there
all day, hope?n asked Peter in what he sup
posed was whisper; "Lucy'n be along to
tea this afternoon. Why don't you give him
some gingerbread and milk, Aunt Liz, and
let him 60 on?"
The man outside heard him.
Don't mind me, ," he said, staggering to his
feet; "Im going now. ! only wanted to rest
Q little; and the place looked SO pretty"
He leaned weakly against the wooden post
and lifted his torn hat with distinctive
grace and courtesy. There is almost as much
individuality in the way man lifts his hat
as in his handwriting OF footstep, and the
ease and freedom of this poor wretch's ges-
ture sent another premonitory thrill through
the little spinster watching him.
She darted down the steps and took hold Of
bis sleeve as he turned away.
"Dont dare go. It's Easter Sunday and I
couldn't have it on my soul to treat any one
SO on the Lords day. Come in and have your
dinner"
A sigh trembled over the mans lips. He
hesitated and looked at her.
"That's good of you; very good of you," he
said gently, and followed her in.
At dinner, however, he scarcely touched
the food.
Hfou're i'll; that's what you are, said Miss
Elizabeth. Where do you come fromp'

"They be the very words, Aunt Liz!" ex-

him for p first time in years

Odd Facts About Easter.

Of course around the festival of Easter
there cluster many queer customs, some OF
which are obsolete and others yet in vogue.
In Ireland on the Saturday evening just pre-
ceding Easter Sunday it is the proper thing
for the PEASANTS wife to place in the boiling
pot a fat hen and piece of bacon. These
must be cooked continuously nom p. m. un-
til the Growing 81 the farmyard cock. It il
perpetual bad luck to touch the savory prep
aration until chanticleer gives the signal. IN
Hampshire and Kent, England, On the Tues.
day of Easter week, the servants Of the pri
vate house or inn, as It may chance, are
privileged to enter the apartments Of the
family or the guest They carry a gayly
decorated arm chair, in which is placed the
person who is the object of their visit. The
servants lift the burden on high, turn the
chair around and compel the occupant to kiss
each one of the bearers and dishursa q fee.
The observance is an old one, the royal
records of the time Of Edward showing the
payment Of fee by his majesty for being
'theayed.n
OF course the egg plays prominent part
in the Lenten season, and the demand for it
in the United States is much greater than the
domestic supply. So there il quite brisk
import trade by which the following coun.
tries: among others, are financially benefited:
Austria, Belgium, Central American states,
China, Germany, England, Canada, British
West Indies, Sweden and Norway. Canada
naturally furnishes the largest quantity, the
annual export across the border being nearly
twenty million dozen.
An impressive and novel sight IS the re-
ligious observance of Easter by the christian
lied Indians Of the northwest Those who
have been present at their mission churches
describe the ceremonies and decorations as
being of peculiar and unwonted interest
The most charming feature of the service
was seen, says one writer, when thirteen
young pupils stepped forward at signal,
ranging themselves in a semicircle in front Of
the platform. Each recited a short Bible
portion, the initial letter Of which he held,
and then gave tina letter to the preceptor,
who placed it upon the arch, forming when
finished, "Christ is risen;" the entire render
ing accomplished by pupils and teacher with
enthusiastic delight.
After this an address to the children was
given on Christ's birth, death and resuyreo,
ton, enforced by touching allusiea to the
death of one of their number week before,
who now knew moro than we all of the glory
and joy purchased by our risen Saviour. The
class Of young men Were greatly moved by
this sermon to the children, and gave their
later recitation from Johns Gospel in a man
ner that showed their hearts thrilled by the
wondrous love that had blessed them.
A quartet Of beautifully trained Indian
voices sang an Easter song, in which the first
minor strains tell the sad story Of Jesus death,
followed by the triumphant chorus, HE d
not here, but risen"

I have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
in my family for thirty years and have
always found it the best remedy for
Group, to which complaint my children
have been subject. Capt. U. Carley,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
"From an experience of over thirty
years in the sale of proprietary medi-
cines, feel justified in recommending
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. One of the
best recommendations of the PectOral is
the enduring quality of it's popularity. it
being more salable now than it was
twenty-five years ago, when its great
success was considered marvelous."-

"My little sister, four years of age,
was so ill from bronchitis that we had
almost given up hope of her recovery.
Our family physician, a skilful man and
of large experience, pronounced it use
less to give her any more medicine
saying that he had done all it was pos
sible to do, and we must prepare for the
worst. AS last resort, we determined
to try Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and can
truly say, with the most happy results.
After taking few doses she seemed to
breathe easier, and, within a week, was
out of danger. We continued giving the
Pectoral until satisfied she was entirely
well. This has given me unbounded faith
in the preparation, and recommend it
confidently to my customers. O..

COUNTY NEWS.
"A Good Idea

"A EOOu luea.
At the regular monthly meeting of
the county commissioners Tuesday
committee was appointed to make
arrangements with the town authori-
ties in the Georges Creek region to
hold prisoners over night at the place
of arrest when it is impossible to send
them to Cumberland over the railroad
the same day they are arrested.
1t seems that frequently arrests are
made by constables after the trains
have left, and a conveyance is hired
at an expense of ten dollars in some
instances to take the prisoner or
prisoners to Cumberland instead of
keeping them in lookup until morn
ing, and then take them to that city
by rail at much less expense to the
county.
The object is, of course, to save costs
of transportation.
In Westernport the plan will work !;
in Barton a lookup will have to be
built, and in Homecoming the Mayor
and Council will sit up with offenders
in the Council Chamber. Here in
Frostburg should prisoner get out
of the lookup it is dollars to doughnuts
that he will not be able to shuck him
