to my Ehlose. to the spirit that watches

Umkulukulu. the great soul of the
world, who moves through the world
unseen and unheard. And thus prayed
that might yet live to kill Chaka as he
had killed those who were dear to me.
And while lay thus there came vision
TO me, vision that was sent in answer
TO my prayer, or perchance it was a
madness born of my SORROWS. For, my
father, it seemed to me that stood upOD
the bank of a river great and wide. II

upon the face of the river, but far away
on the farther side was glow like the
glow of stormy dawn, and in the glow

out of the reeds came men and women
and children, by hundreds and tens OF

Noiseiessly the barefOoted waits
climbed the stone steps and crossed the
Vestibale, and at last slipped inside the
audience room.
Awed and half dazed, they Rugged the
wall tightly.
The church was very full, and people
were standing all around the entrance.
Near the children was a deep window
seat, banked with the choicest flowers.
Mary was the first TO spy it. and she
tugged at her sisters dress, and pointed
TO the beautiful sight. Betty gazed in
rapture, her lips formed into an Obi"
which she dared not utter.
Then sweet, far-away music, that drew
nearer and nearer, claimed their atten-
tiOn.
Soon they saw, coming through a door
way at the right of the altar, a process
sion of white-robed boys, singing as
they came. Betty and Mary had never
IN all th cir lives heard such music be-
fore. and they were sorry when it
stopped.
A man in n white robe began to speak,
but they did not understand what he
was talking about, so they looked at the
Howers and the people, but the flowers
most OF all
Their eyes rested longest on great

After a little chairs were brought in
DOR the people near the entrance, and a
kind man gave the children a seat
which they shared between them, their
arms around each other.
It was a long service that Easter af-
ternoOn, but it was so beautiful TO Betty
and Mary that they never thought OF
going. Almost the last thing that took
ERlnaa rrRahn Hhaaa
wistful eyes. 1t was the taking apart
of the beautiful cross Of flowers. The
cross was composed of small bouquets,
and these We're distributed among the
children of the Sunday school.
At last it was all over, the white
robed boys had gone as they came, and
the people were going away.
Let's stay an see 'em go byl" whis-
pered Betty.
Thus it happened that as Miss Bar
nArd's class of six little girls were pass
ing out of the church they saw two
ragged, barefOoted children shyly eying
them and their flowers.
Sweet Lily Stone was ahead, and with
out an instant's hesitation she placed
her own bouquet in Mary's hand. Tina
Gray was close behind, and with smile
she rendered her flowers to Betty. The
other four, not to be outdone by their
leaders, gave their flowers to the little
strangers, and when Miss Barnard came
up she found Betty and Mary with
flushed, beaming faces, hardly knowing
what to dc or what to say.
The young teacher gave her class one
glance Of loving approval, and then
turned to the two children. who were
still lingering their flowers with intense
rapture.
She asked their names and where they
lived; she found out that their mother
was i'll In bed, and that their father did
little to make them happy, and when she
left them she promised to go and see
them soon.
This promise was more than fulfilled,
and Betty and Mary found in Miss Bar
nard one OF the best and kindest friends
Amt you glad we went in that Sun
day2" said Mary.
Yes, I guess am, said Betty; and

Early Matches.

The first phosphorus match was made
In the penitentiary at Hohenasberg,
Germany. The inventor was John Fred
erick KOmerer, a political prisoner.
Komerer was a chemist by profession,
and was permitted to make scientific ex-
periments by his unusually humane
jailer. A year after he struck his first
lucifer match KOmerer was set free, only
to find that he, penniless man, had TO
fight capitalists who were interested in
his discovery on which no patent was
then obtainable. The German Govern
ment thought matches dangerous, and
injured the inventor still further by pro-
hibiting their use. This ruined Kom.
