loving eyes, but always at a distance.
Surely this was a white Sunday.
Miss Eaton noticed the child's inter-
est, but made no move to betray her
knowledge until the service was end
ed, when, with a sunny smile, she
looked down into the admiring eyes.
"Are you coming into the Sabbath
school, dear?" she asked. gently.
'I-no, ma'am," answered jamie,
shyly. Il don't belong"
why, haven't ] seen you often at
chu1sa"' asked Miss Eaton, in sur
prise.
Yes, ma'aa, but nobody ever asked
me to stay to Sunday school,"
Then | will ark you now Will you
come with me, my dear? have a class
of girls about you age and the girl
held out her gloved hand for JAMES
sunburned fingers.
Il should love to!' the child answered,
heartily. But / oughtn't to stay to-
day. Mother would be worried"
Next Sunday, then. But come a
moment and | will introduce you to
the girls, SO that you will feel more at
home next time"
1t was not with unmixed approval
that the dainty maidensi in Miss Eaton's
class received this addition to their
number. Petted and curled darlings
Of wealthy parents, they felt indignant
that alien element should be intro
duced into their charmed circle.
The ideal" muttered Blanche Everts
in Mabel Sheriden's ear. Miss Eaton
knows the class is large enough al
ready. All of our set, too! It's a
shame!"
But Miss Eaton's calm courtesy held
them in check, and it was with an out
ward show of politeness that they
acknowledged Janie's timid nod One
or two welcoming faces were there.
and, with Miss Eaton's friendly clasp
upon her fingers, jamie promised to
come again.
And come she did through the chill
winds of late fall and the cutting
storms of winter, filling a quiet niche
among the girls Of a widely different
life from hers. So retiring was she
that they hardly minded her presence.

save by a grudging acknowledgment
that JAMES lessons were invariably
we'll learned, and that Though she
isn't like US, she's not so troublesome
as we expected"
But with the new year the shadows
that had fallen upon Mrs. Turner's
face darkened Janie's also. Allie was
slipping out of life. Too weak to sit
at the window now. she would lie with
eyes resting upon the little plant in
peaceful content. Thanks to Janie's
watchful care, the geranium had
thriven wonderfully and now stood
greenly vigorous. And oh, JOY! be-
meath the velvety leaves two tiny
clusters of buds were slowly expand
ing, and in a few weeks more would
burst into bloom.
But would Allie tarry long enough
to see them? Great tears rolled down
JAMES cheeks and fell upon the plant
as she moved it where it could reap the
benefit of every sickly, struggling ray
Of winter sunshine.
pretty blossoms by and by. Allie"
she would say, bravely. And Allie
echoed, feebly:
by and by"
Weaker and weaker grew the little
one, larger and larger waxed the buds,
until n February morning the pale
sunshine looked In upon two glowing
scarlet clusters.
ooh, pretty! pretty" piped the
threadlike voice from the pillows, and
eager little hands were stretched
toward the flowers. Close beside her
they laid the plant, it's scarlet glory
.caressing the sunken cheek. And so
the child fell into the sound sleep
whose waking would be amid the
flowers of paradise.
When the little form was carried away
from the room whose four walls had
encompassed its world, the little GER
anium stood denuded Of its glory, and

give flowers every year. Last Easter it
was a cross of white roses and ivy"
"Oh!" said jamie, and subsidized for a
time. docs each Of the girls bring
some?" she asked. at length, after
some moments of deep thought.
"Of course.." answered the girl, in
cool surprise. 1T is the Easter gift.
Every scholar brings something"
At this moment Miss Eaton took her
place, and was instantly besieged by a
torrent of questions. Zone at a time,
girls" she protested, and order was re-
stored.
Yes" she said at length. when the
girls had explained their plan. st is a
good idea. l think there will be no

ents, but are to represent some little
personal sacriice-such, for instance,
as ~bon-bons, theater tickets or gloves"
as, in glancing around the circle of
eager faces. her eyes fell upon Janie's
neighbor, still absorbed in her glove
buttons. $50 shall your Easter flow
ers be true gifts upon Gods altar"
In her desire to impress the thought
of sacrifice upon these careless girls,
whose every wish was gratified, she
forgot the single exception-poor jamie,
sitting quietly in her corner, wonder
ing if she alone in all this great Sun
day school must fail to make a gift to
her risen Lord.
Miss Eaton found her strangely mat
t%entive. giving stammering, blunder-
ing answers to all questions. Perceiv-
ing that something was amiss, she
gradually devoted herself to the rest Of
the class, and succeeded in d~istracting
their curious scrutiny from jamie.
There is nothing / can give moth

two scarlet white-eyed blossoms were
fading in the still clasped hands. And
Miss Eaton, drawing jamie close to her
side as they took a last look at the
peaceful baby face, heard for the first
time the story of the little plant that
had cheered the tedious days of the
patient sufferer-heard it with a pang
at her tender heart at thought Of the
lost opportunity for making glad the
heart of one OF Christ's little ones.
Il wish l had known before" she
sighed.
Very lonely were the days for the
sad-eyed mother and sister. Sleet and
snow gradually changed t o beating
rain, and slowly but steadily the sod
den earth grew green. Again small
buds formed under the sheltering
leaves of the sturdy plant; again the
slender flower stalks shot up with their
clustered promise.
when Easter comes, we will put it
on Allies grave" sighed jamie, vague
ly comforted. ut will be in blossom
then"
The church bells were ringing, and,
with a little caress of the plant that
Allie had loved, mother and dau ghter
fastened to the morning service.
There is nothing to keep me now"
thought the poor mother, as she locked
the door upon the deserted room.
When jamie entered the Sabbath
school, she found the assembled girls
in discussion SO absorbing hat they
noted her presence with the slightest
of mods.
We'll bring lilies, Of counsel" said
Blanche, with decision; ''clusters of
those big Bermuda lilies. They will
look lovely. mean to ask Miss Eaton
if we can't decorate the font"
Wouldn't roses be prettier?" sug-
gested another voice. Pink roses
would look sweet against the marble"
mo; lilies are far better. rejoined
Blanche, with emphasis. And the vote
of the class was, accordingly, for lilies.
What is it all about?" asked jamie,
timidly, of her nearest neighbor.
"Oh, our Easter flowers" answered
the girl. carelessly, fumbling with the
! buttons OF her long gloves. 'We all

Taking advantage of such slight shell

banked with a wealth of bloom. Pots
of gay tasselled fuchsias were there;
ranks of flaming geraniums; baskets of
e<rowding pansies, regal in purple and
