Wen, ne did marry, and he took his
beautiful young bride to the home that
he had prepared for her Mt Glenmcre.
There they lived happy in their love,
and when, few years later their
child was born they called her Dorothy.
Mrs. Hallowell's maiden name was
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-
gcther, 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
pincss, for when her son came into the
world, she passed out of it, leaving a
husband stricken down by a 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, brolsen-spirited and broken-heart-
ed, ended his young life. The little one
was left without home, and it was
then that he was brought into the fam
lily of John Hallowell. Thus, like her
mother, Dorothy had a companion in
her childhood.
That was happy home for six
years. Not shadow crossed the light
of happiness of its occupants. When,
however, certain important case
compelled John to stay at his law office

weeks, the first light white cloud of

"Send Michael to me-"
When. the old coachman came, the
distracted hus band repeated his ques-
ton: "Where is my wife?" -,
"At Mr. Lyford's, sir"
Hallowel was losing his self-control.
"Why did you take her out on night
like this, you idiot?"
"She told me to, SIR"
What of it? Haven't you got any
sense? What else did she tell your
THAT / must get back before you,
sir"
John started as If struck. 'She told
you that? Well, you may go now"
A note was lying on the table. Was
it from her? He took it up and read:
"MY DEAR MRS. HALI.owELL: Forgive me,
butt must warn you. Ask your husband why
he stays at his Office every night. He will not
tell you. So you must watch and find out for
yourself. A FRIEND"
With groan he sank into his chair.
1t was all clear now. His wife thought
him faithless and had left him. Well,
let it be so. He would not follow her.
All night he sat there in this stupor,
and when morning came he looked as
if twenty years had been added to his
life His former jo.lity had gone, and
in its place had come wretched NOR
bidness Looking out on the lawn, he
saw the tree which had been blown
over by the wind A bitter laugh es-
capped his lips.n "Strange!" he said,
"but it will make me remember" So
he caused fence to be built around
the two trees, one standing, the other
fallen. "And thus they are to remain" !"
he said, ''as long as-but perhaps she
will always stay away"
A month passed, and still his wife
did not return. The suspense was be-
coming unbearable, and John could not
give attention to his business. What
/ could he do? He might travel. Yes,
that was just the thing! He would go
abroad and take Dorothy with him;

husband and child had left her. Oh,
! how she regretted the outcome of that

to retrace her steps. No. She would

Fifteen years passed away and still
there was no change in the relations
to each other of John and Margaret
1 Hollowell. In fact, they never had
seen each other since that last parting;
but the old love, though dormant, was
not dead
1t was Palm Sunday of the year
1S-.when John Hallowell and Dorothy,
the latter now beautiful miss OF
eighteen years, were sitting together
in the parlor of the old mansion OF

unhappiness appeared on the horizon
of Margaret's life, for neve until then
had he left her for single night.
When she asked him why he stayed so
long, and he said that he could not tell
her then, the little white cloud became
large, dark cloud of suspicion. And
when she heard at last, by an anony-
nous letter, that the case was in some
way connected with woman to whom
formerly he had been engaged, the
cloud of suspicion took the black and
hideous form of jealousy.
1t was hard blow which some
cowardly hand had dealt that happy
home, but il did it's work we'll Poor
Margaret was overcome by grief and
anger, and in her hour of despair she
took the step that brought dreariness
into two lives for many years after.
Where could she go? To whom could
she turn? There was only one-her
father. He would share her grief.
The wind was bowling dismally
without, an appropriate accompani-
ment to the storm that was raging
within Margaret's heart. She went to

they startled her With no light in the
room, she stood gazing out into the
ominous darkness of the night. A ter
rible sense of her loneliness was steal
ing over her, for she knew that her
husband would not return for nearly
three hours She was startled from her
dream by a flash of lightning, and then
the harsh clap of thunder which fol-
lowed made her recoil and draw the
draperies of the window about her.
Another flash soon followed, and by it's
sudden light she saw their carriage
coming up the driveway. She started
and muttered: "Yes, Just the thing"
So, turning quickly, she rang the bell
for her maid.
Tell Michael not to unh arness yet"
she said.
Yes, madam" replied the maid,
with an incredulous stare.

With that the maid withdrew, and
Margaret hastened to her room.

down the stairs, but, remem bering the

little Dorothy was sleeping in her crib,

her, the mother kissed her softly on
her cheek and bade her "Good-by, my

on the ride; and, besides, his grand
father would be glad to see him. So,
hastily pulling on his coat and hat,
she hustled the astonished boy down to
the porch door, where she found the
carriage in waiting

answer.

"You must get back before Mr.. Hal.
lowell returns"
"Sure and will, mum"
The wind was now blowing such q
gale that it was with difficulty that the
footman held the carriage door open
for Margaret and Willie to enter. Oh!
1t was q terrible night! The weird
shrieking of the wind and the beating
of the rain against the roof of the
carriage filed Margaret with sort of
vague fear and trembling. fa
Michael cracked his whip and they
were off. Down the driveway that
led under the two naples they went

lives! That's right! Cut your horses

safe now-with crash the tree falls
headlong to the ground.
1t seemed hours to Margaret before
they reached her fathers dwelling, but
the ride finally ended, and Michael,
leaving his precious load, hastened
home again. Poor Margaret, overcome
by fear and excitement, fell fainting
into her fathers arms as he met her on
the stairs. Then the fever, the days of
delirium, the slow recovery.
1t was eleven o'clock before John
Hallowell returned to Glenmere. He
went directly to his wife's room, but
sne was not there. Upstairs and down
he went, but no one could be found.
What did it all mean? He rang for
the servant, and when she appeared

the passing cloud,
The feeling of n sorrow gone,
A presence pure and gentle-browed.
There comes the bloom Of morning rays,
There passes all OF gloom and SIM
And down tho dew-bcjeweled ways
The god Of summer enters in.
The past is but shriveled leaf,
written scroll to fade away,
With all 1t held of Joy or grief
Merged In the glory OF to-day.
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 oil is told,
The stars their orbits still repeat,
[ Season to season buds unfold,
And worlds and atoms meet and meet.
G There is no loss, there is no gain;
There is no waste Of time or force;
And every act and thought and pain
Are meeting points in natures course.
And death is notl the very rocks
Await the resurrection morn;
And fire or storm or change unlocks
The old, and thus the new is born.
III.
So may we live in perfect trust,
And in the tempest stand serene,
For God 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 a song
The song of hope, the song of youth.
The music of n mighty throng
On the eternal hills of Truth.
O Spirit OF the Easter time,
To all the sweet assurance give
And swell the sound in voice and chime:
Though yc be Dead yet shall ye Live"

AT EASTER TIME.

Fresh airs through tho heaven are blowing
Soft vapors melt in the blue;
In music the streams are flowing,
And the world is clothed anew.
Life everywhere is waking,
And winters woe is done;
Out of their prison breaking,
The flowers laugh in the sun.
o look abroad. o listen,
Sweet songs are in the skies;
God makes earth glow and glistcn
Like the fields of Paradise.
o the delight before us
AS the fair days onward giide'
The birds delisious chorus,
The splendor far and wide
From the grass that is stealing slowly
To mantle the meadows in green,
From the crocus springing lowly
Where the golden daifodils lean,
To the rainbows s delicate glory
Spanning the vast Of the sky,
'Tis the same old heavenly story
or beauty that cannot die.
Give thanks for the Easter gladness
With humble and grateful hearts;
Forgotten are doubt and sadness,
And the shadow of death departs.

suburbs of Boston stood, many years
ago. a large, attractive residence,
which to every passer-by formed the
subject of a careful observation. Its
queer architecture and the large and
magnificent estate which surrounded
it, 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 plot of ground,
right in the middle of the spacious
lawn, while in the center of the plot
were two trees surrounded by low
iron fence. The first of these trees was
tall, stately maple. The other was
also maple, but it lay fiat 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? Aud why was it so carefully
guarded? These were questions which
occurred to every one who beheld this
prostrate tree, and to which few were
fortunate enough to find the answer.
The house and 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
tune by risky but lucky speculation
