When the city editor was gone. and
the place was almost quiet. he threw
down his pen and clasped his hands to
his burning head. How the old pain
rscked him tonight-the surging, the
humming. the vertigo that seemed as II
some day 1t would surely drive him mad
again.
Again!
He wal almost afraid to think the
word, lest In some way II reach the
minds Of the men he heard laughing In
the other room.
What would they say II they knew he
had been msd-the inmate Of q mad
house for yeHrs' Now they spoke Of him
a. u man who had suffered much-that
was evident from the settled sadness Of
his clouded cyes-and who was strangely
reticent about his origin, his past.
What would they soy II they knew that
TO him there was no past-that beyond
his first conscious hours in the Swiss
madhouse he knew nothingl
Dismal thoughts-terrible. penetrating
loneliness. How his soul was tortured!
But worse evon than this poignant pain
was the feeling that often beset him
when he awoke just ut the edge Of day.
just as the gray light Of dawn was steal
ing over the sluggish world. q feeling
that his consciousness was trembling on
the brink Of u discovery-that q great
Joy or u great sadness would DO his in
that food Of light.
But it did not come. and tho cloud did
not lift from his eyes.
Easter morning dawned fresh, crystal
clear. The sky was a tremulous azure;
the fragrance OF trumpet shaped lilies
hung in the velvet air; the church bells
pealed out gladly; the streets were
thronged with people who seemed un'
troubled by u care.
To the city editors gift King had add
ed a bunch Of white flowers. and feel
ing the happy consciousness that he was
going to make one small boy happy

ceiver. Tho little end of the shell must
be broken first and all the contents re.
moved. The edge may then he broken
carefully down to about one.quarter of
the length Of the shell. A stem may be
made Of twisted green paper and pasted
on it at the base. Another device IL
made by cutting the small end Of q shell
straight across. FASTING on q strip Of paper
ut the side and placing . bit Of wood or
cardboard underneath. The little cup
thus made can DO t~astefully decorated
with either oils or water colors. This 10
a. easily constructed - any and is O
rather neat object when carefully I'm.
ished. A basket made from q good sized
eggshell is another novelty. It Is not
hard to make. bus care must be taken In
breaking the shell aud in cutting 1t down
trim and smooth.
One Of the new designs IL especially
calculated to catch the fancy Of mascu-
line j~uvenility. II IL made ont Of an un.
broken egg which has been painted to
resemble u swan, and to which a tail Of
pasteboard and small feathers has been
appended. The throat and head can be
made either Of paper or Of a wire around
which paper or cloth has been wrapped.
BY carefully blowing ont the contents
Of the shell through pinholes and sealing
up tho holes before adding the head and
tail the artificial bird may be made to
foat on the water like its natural relative
In the parks.
One of the Easter devices is very elab-
crate and u rather pretty trife in its
way. It is simply an egg from which
the little end has been cut neatly away,
and upon which figures, like those seen
In Chinese flowerpots, have been paint
ed. Into the open end small artificial
flowers Of wax are placed. The whole Is
to be mounted ON a little three legged
support Of the very light, thin bamboo.
Two other designs are emipently prac-
teal in their uses and are not hard to
make. One is a matchsafe, and the other,
which is painted TO resemble u tub and
fitted with a pasteboard bottom, may be
used to Lold matches, pins or other small
articles. In making both Of these de-
vices considerable caution will have to
be used in cutting the shell. After that,
however, the work is easy. On any or
all of the designs there is great scope for
ingenuity, and a cheap box of paints
will enable one to make any number OF
| decorations that fancy may suggest

And its bright green lanccs CULVER.

And the bird, with her nest among them,
Flies up with a sudden song.

She was only q girl-Mrs. Terry Ma

The footman smiled, but u low cry
