Children's Day.
Reported for the SITTER.
AR rrur Nj II CJIJrpru


The observance of ehildren's day was a
very prominent and interesting feature
last Sabbath. In The morning the pastor,
Rev. W. A. Bryant, spoke more particu-
rally to the young people from words
found in Gen. V, "a. His words were
very appropriate, comparing the life of
christ, the only perfect and sinless life
ever lived on earth, with that of Enoch,
who after sixty-Hve years lived three hun
dred years and walked with God next in
purity and uprightness to that of Christ.
Just previous to the afternoon services
Baptism was administered to little Delos
Austin, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Liv-
ermore.
The programme for the afternoon was
founded on Christ's parable of the mer-
chairman seeking pearls, and came from
the pen of C. II. Payne corresponding
secretary of the Methodist board of edu-
cation. The principal characters were
those of religion and the pearl gatherers.
The Queen, Religion, was seated on a
high seat under an arbor of evergreen and
flowers, which had been tastefully ar.
ranged for the occasion, while the Pearl
gatherers were represented by four young
ladies, four gentlemen and the children s
class, all representing goodly pearls: viz
Righteousness, Education, Love, Indus
| try, Gentleness, Innocence, Obedience
and the one pearl which gave beauty ant
luster to all other pearls, the pearl OF
Nazareth. After browning the queen anC
rendering their parts effectively, the Pear
gatherers left the stage to give place fol
a dialogue, by two young ladies, entitled
''the board of education and it's work.
In Justice to those and all the young PEG
pie and children who are willing to TAX
part in such exercises, and be counte,
among the pearl gatherers of true wis
dom, we feel it is not saying too mucl
when we say they all did well.
The flowers and the birds all served
good part in the programme. We did no
notice any aim at show or parade but W
did feel the spirit of true worship to God
and we look for results of the highes
good, both in this life and the life whicl
is eternal.

her foot slipped and she fell with some
force against the wall. To her surprise
the wall seemed to yield with her, and
she guessed that she must have accident
ally touched the spring of some secret
panel. She lifted the tapestry, pushed
back an oaken panel which was stand
ing aiar behind it, and found herself
with what feeling may be easily imag-
ined-in the mysterious room with the
black curtain.
For one moment she stood motionless.
glaucing round her with secret horror
which she could neither understand nor
resist.
The door which had been walled up,
when thus seen from the inside, ap-
peared to be massive framework of
solid black oak, clamped and banded
with iron; and the sight of it increased
Madeleine's terror, as she thought how
frightful that secret must be for which
even such defenses as these We're ac-
counted insufficient.
The room was covered SO thickly with
dust that her first step into it had stirred
up cloud which almost choked her;
but on the bare, unswept floor she saw a
line Of footprints leading up to the
black curtain and another line returning
from it. Those footprints could belong
to no one but her husband. and behind
that curtain the secret must lie
With heart throbbing as if it would
burst the excited girl went desperately
up to the mysterious veil, paused irreso-
lutely for one instant, and then, seizing
the curtain convulsively with both her
hands, tore it back. AS she saw what it
had concealed she uttered a low, chok-
ing cry, swayed helplessly forward, and
would have sunk to the ground but for
the support of some object against which
she biindly fell.
On kind of shelf behind the curtain
stood small glass case, within which,
on a narrow strip of black velvet, were
ranged three human heads-the heads of
young and beautiful women. still lovely
as when they lived, and preserved with
such wonderful art that they might well
have seemed TO be yet alive bpt for the
fixed stare Of their widely opened eyes,
in which there still appeared to hnger a
look of dumb and stony horror. All
were splendidly adorned with pearls and
other .jewelry, and beneath each of the
three was a name and date:

upon the dreamy stiffness OF th5 -e21en-
ing air, and Madeleine, looking down,
saw near the foot Of the wall one of
those wandering gypsy minstrels who
are so numerous in every part of Hun
gary and Pennsylvania. He had evil
IDENTIFY caught sight Of her as she leaned
over the bGttlements, for he dotted his
well worn velvet cap and bowed as if in
salute. Then touching with practiced
hand the small three stringed guitar
which he had just unslung from his
shoulders he began to sing.
But at the very first words of the song
Princess Keretsenyi gave violent start,
and bent eagerly forward over the para
pet of the wall. 1t was o French song
that this Transylvanian minstrel was
singing. and, more wonderful still, ii
was favorite song of her own, which
hardly any one knew by heart except
herself. Nor was this all. The voice
which sang it was one which she had
never expected to hear again-never, at
least, on this side of the grave.
Madeleine's heart seemed to stand still
as she listened. Had her ears deceived
herr or had the grave indeed given upits
dead, and heaven wrought miracle for
her deliverance?
At that moment the last ray of the set
ting sun, which WAS sinking redly behind
the dark green waves of wooded mount
ain that surged up on every side as far as
the eye could reach fell right upon the
minstrel's upturned face. Madeleine
gave quick gasp, and clutched the bat.
tlement to support herself. All her
doubts We're ended now, for although
the singer had the shaggy black hail
and swarthy complexion of native
gypsy his features were those of her lost
lover, Henri de Mortemart!

When the song ceased Madeleine
pressed her hands tightly upon her burn
ing forehead. trying in vain to collect
her disordered thoughts. and to devise
some way of turning to account this I'M
hoped for chance of deliverance. But
she was spared the trouble, for just then
the minstrel-as If to avoid exciting any
suspicion on the part Of keretsenyls
servants, several of whom, attracted by
the music, were now looking down at
him from the walls-touched his guitar
anew, and chanted the following sem
fences as if singing the verses of song:
am your Henri, here to save you,
know the danger in which you stand;
Have you the means OF making rope LADDER
II you have, nod your head
Madeleine thought for moment, and
remembered the stores of old hangings
with which the castle abounded, suf-
ficient to make dozen such ladders.
She nodded, and the chant went on:
Make the ladder Of some dark green stuff,
And let it down from the tower on which you
stand,
So as TO lningle as much as possible with the ivy;
will bring good horse hther,
And bear you away by night.
Then a bright thought struck Made
leine. She tore leaf from her pocket
book and scrubbed On il in pencil:
lose no time, for the prince may re-
torn al any moment, and this day fort
night am to die. will begin to make
the ladder tonight. Heaven bless you!
M"
Wrapping II silver form in the paper
she threw it to the pretended minstrel,
who bowed again as if acknowledging
the gift, and singing his guitar over his
shoulders vanished like a ghost into the
fast falling darkness Of night. In all
this the servants, ignorant as they were
of French, saw nothing the least sus-
picious. A passing minstrel had sung
good song and their mistress had paid
him for it-that was all.
There was no sleep for poor Madeleine
that night. The excitement of discoV-
ering that her dead lover was still alive
and actually within reach of her would
alone have sufficed to fever every drop
of her blood; but even this was COM
pletely swallowed up by the tremendous
and almost insupportable agitation of
this unexpected chance of life just when
death seemed certain.
Unable to sleep or even to remain still
for moment, the excited girl snatched
eagerly at the timely occupation afford
ed to her by the necessity of preparing
the materials for her rope ladder.
Among the countless cords and hang
ings of various colors that abounded on
every side it was easy for her to supply
herself with an ample stock of the dark
green stuff recommended by De Morte-
mart, and she began her work at once.
This was by far the best thing that
she could have done. The steady EN-
uloyment Quoted her overstrai -!

CHAPTER III.
A STRAIN or MUSIC.

How Madeleine got back to her own
chamber she never knew, but once there
she began to feel (strange Us II may APP
pearl more cool and collected than she
had been since she first entered this liv-
ing grave. 1t seemed as if the very
violence of this terrific shock had strung
her nerves instead OF paralyzing them.
The bold blood of the warrior race from
which she sprang was fairly up at last,
and she faced the terrible crisis with
that quiet, steadfast courage which is
never wanting to any trEe woman in an
emergency great enough to call it forth.
1t was now that she noticed for the
first time paper clinging to the folds Of
her dress. How it came there she could
not tell, but on reflection she seemed
dnnly to remember seeing something
slide down from the top Of the fatal glass
case as she staggered against it in her
terror This paper, then, must have
been lying there and had been caught in
2 fold Of her dress as it fell.
She drew it forth and looked at it. It
was folded like a letter, and on the out
side was written in the bold. free hand
of her husband:
my justifcation-to be opened after
my death"
For one moment she Resitated, but in
defending herself against man who
plainly designed TO murder her such
scruples were manifestly out of place
She opened the letter, and with thrill
of mingled horror and amazement read
as follows:
Il have offered up my third victim,
and something warns me that my own
doom draws nigh; but one more sacri-
fee at least shall be completed ere die,
Nevertheless if my death be really at
hand it hehooves me to leave on record
why this blood has been shed, that the
name of Keretscnyi may not be soiled
even in thought by charge of vulgar
murder.
