school in her beautiful villa at Gmun-

Vienna, the baroness proposes to give
entertainments in behalf of local chari-

New Extradition Treaty With Germany
Being Prepared-One That yyIll Insure
the Return OF American Rogues.
berlin, April 9.-Minister Phelps Is
making good progress with etIe new
extradition treaty. The treaties now
existing. made many years ago with the
different governments of the then ex-
listing German Bund," contain many
imperfections, which have led in several
instances to failures of Justice. Mr..
Phelps, in conjunction with the Wash
ingtOn government, has been plan
ming for q new treaty ever sincss
his appointment as minister, but
the more urgent work on thu
pork ordinances delayed attention tn
this matter. Last year, however, a case
occurred that showed so glaringly the
hnperfections of the present treaty that
Minister Phelps decided to go to work
al once. A man named Hoyt, who had
embezzled the funds of New York
electric light company, fed to Europe.
de escaped the English police, who
tried TO arrest him on board of a
Hamburg steamer. and came on
to Germany, where he was arrest
ed at the request OF the Ameri-
can legation. Strong efforts We're
made by the legation to secure his ex-
tradition, but, owing to the fact that
the treaty recognized only the embez.-
element of money from the United
States government and not from private
people, the fellow hadcGsnally to be re-
leased He had then to impudence TO
apply to the legation for a passport. as
he could not secure one atc4Yashinrton
owing to his sudden departure" from
nFrR ~ - L.
modest request was not granted
This case, added 10 Mr.. Phelps eager
ness to make a new treaty, and the pork
question being ont Of the way, he gave
his entire attention TO this matter.
The nen treaty is almost finished Il
will contain many important additions
to the present category of extre iitable
crimes such as embezzlcInent. obtaining
money by face pretense, perjury, rape
and crimes committed on the high sea,
like mutiny, etc.
The only point OF difference between
Minister Phelps and Baron Won Marchal,
the German secretary OF foreign affairs.
Is on the question OF the provision TO 1oe
made for the payment Of expenses. The
American idea is that each country
should pay its own expenses
This is unsatisfactory to Germany.
The foreign Office says it has rarely re-
covered prisoner from America with
out paying at least $500 and there have
been cases where thousands have teen
paid in counsel fees. In Germany, on
the other hand, the duty of secur-
ing the capture and retention OF a fugi-
tive from justice wanted"
by America devolves upon the
prosecuting officers, and no charge
is made for their services Hence
the Germans think the present arrange
ment very One-sided. As American law
does not place these duties upon the
prosecuting attorney Germany must
employ counsel and pay fees The
German officials think, therefore, that
the treaty should make some mutually
satisfactory f8ovision for expenses

It was eleven o'clock before John
Hallowell returned TO Glenmere. He

he went. but no one could be found
What did it all mean? He rang for

strange woman. They arose to read
the psalm and she passed her book to
John. The last verse particularly imp
pressed him: IT have gone astray like
lost sheep; seek Thy servant; for do
not forget Thy commandments
Then they resumed their seats and
John ran mis- fingers carelessly through
the leaves of the book. Suddenly he
started and grew pale. The book fell
from his trembling hand He glanced
| quickly at the woman who had passed
it to him, but her hand was raised in

garet was met by a tall, fne-loolxing
young man. What. No. Why. yes il
isr' he exclaimed % himself. as he saw
them coming. If 1t isn't Dot Hallow-
well and her father-and with mamma,
tool What can it all mean?' John
shook his hand silently, heartily, as
they met. This was no place for ex-
planations. SO they fastened to leave
the throng.
There was room for but two in Mar
garet's carriage, so Will Lyford (for
the young man was none other than
he), gracefully resigned in Hallowell's
favor. AS for Dorothy and himself,
they much preferred to walk; and SO,
when the carriage had passed out of
sight, they turned their steps toward
Gienmere.
Mutual explanations and mutual for
giveness were the happy results Of the
homeward ride of Margaret and her
husband It was all arranged before
they parted that she should assume her
former position as mistress at Glen
mere. But she had so many business
affairs to arrange, and so much to do be-
fore closing up the house, that Saturday
night arrived before Margaret. with
her father and Will Lyford. came to
live again at her former home; though
it may be said, by the way. that since
the previous Sunday Will had spent
the most of his time there. His many
years of separation from Dorothy had
made him realize that he was far, very
far from being her brother, and now
that they were brought together again,
he found that his affection for her had
taken a new and deeper turn.
The next day was Easter Sunday.
Dinner having been finished, Halloven
and his wife strolled out together, and
their steps led toward the front of the
house. Margaret stopped abruptly as
her eyes fell upon the fallen trees. AT
first it puzzled her, but suddenly she
remembered and panied expression
crossed her face. ''Have it taken away,
john" was all she said.
! He caught her to his arms. Eyes,
DEAR he said, I'VE viii buoy the past
To-day shall be my Easter. We will
look to the future and both rejoice in
our resurrection of love"
If just at this moment we could have
looked inside the house, we might have
seen Dorothy and VIII in a similar at
titude. Theirs was a newborn, not a
resurrected love; but their happiness
was none the greater.
AS the years roll on and the holy day
returns, it brings joy and praise into
many hearts But to nene is it a day
of greater gladness and thanksgiving
than to the four who always bless the
anniversary of John Hallowell's Easter

suburbs of Boston stood, many years
ago, a large, attractive residence,
which to every passer-by formed the
subject of careful observation. Its
queer architecture and the large and
magnificent estate which surrounded
1T. served to draw ones notice to this
stately old mansion Another object
in front of the house attracted even
greater attention. This object was
nothing more than a plot of ground,
right in the middle@of the spacious
lawn, while in the center of the plot
were two trees surrounded by q low
iron fence. @rhe first of these trees was
a tall, statgS maple. The other was
also maple, but it lay fat upon the
ground. uprooted. as if by some strong
wind, and as it began to show signs of
decay, one was forced to the conclu-
sion that it had been lying there for
many years. But why was it left
there? And why was it so carefully
guarded? These were questions which
occurred to every one. who beheld this
PROSTATE tree, md to which few were
fortunate enough to find the answer
The house a.ad the lands which sur
rounded it were the home and property
of John Hallowell. The land was left
to him by his father. but the house he
built himself after he had made for

risky, because he staked every cent of
the little capital which he inherited

have been little better thssa a pauper.

Well. he did marry, and he took his
beautiful young bride to the home that
he had prepared for her at GIenmere
There they lived happy in their love,
and when, a few years later, their
child was born they called her Dorothy
Mrs HallowelPs maiden name1was
Margaret Lyford. She had an adopted
brother, Richard, the orphaned son of
very distant relative of Margaret's
father. As Richard-he was more COM
monty called ''Dick"-came into the
family when but mere child, the two
children had become as much endeared
to each other as if they were actually
brother and sister. They grew up to-
gether, and three years before Marga-
ret married John Hallowell. Dick we'd
ded Mary Thornton. This young wife
was not destined to long enjoy her hap
piness, for when her son came into the
world, she passed out of it. leaving a
husband stricken down by grief from
which he never recovered. His child
he cared for, but could not love SO
dearly because he always felt that lit
tie Willie's life was poor compensation
for his wife's death.
1t was not long after the birth of lit
tie Dorothy Hallowell that Dick Ly-
ford. lbroken-spirited and broken-heart-
ed, ended his young life The little one
was left without a home, and it was
then that he was brought into the fam

the passing cloud,

the passing cloud,
The feeling OF a sorrow gone,
A presence pure and gentle browed
There comes the bloom of morning rays,
There passes all OF gloom and sin,
And down the dew-beieweled ways
The god of summer enters in
The past is but a shriveled leaf,
A written scroll 10 fade away,
With all it held OF Joy or grief
Merged In the glory of to-day. l
Sweet hope goes down into the tomb
And takes from death grander life,
Joy rings across the voice OF doom,
And peace is gained by every strife.

The egg expands its pulsing wings,
The twig awakens into flowers,
And from the soul of man there springs
The perfect age OF fullest powers.
Over and over all is told,
The stars their orbits still repeat,
Season to season buds unfold,
And worlds and atoms meet and meet
There is no loss there is no gain;
There is no waste Of time or force;
And every act and thought and pain
Arc meeting points in nature's course.
And death is mott the very rocks
Await the resurrection morn;
And fire or storm or change un1ockS
The DID, and thus the new is born.
So may we live in perfect trust.
And in the tempest stand serene,
Forced will re-create the dust
Though countless ages intervene.
The wrong shall vanish in the right,
The evil melt into the good;
For as the day includes the night,
The false is true when understood
Thus all is rounded in song
The song Of hope, the song of youth,
The music of mighty throng
On the eternal hills of Truth

To all the sweet assurance give,
And swell the sound in voice and chime:
Though We be Dead, yet shall We Live"
