hopeful and sunshiny; 1t might speak
peace to anybody even Miss Martha.
Why, vest it will do instead OF Char
ley's letter"
So she bought it; but when she got
home she hesitated long about actual
" sending 1t.
''Miss Martha will not see it with my
eyes. It will just mean pasteboard to
her and the compliments of the season.
You couldn't expect it to preach her
the same sermon that IL does me. And
can't very well add footnote to say:
BE happy and you will be good. and
will give those poor children a more
Christian idea of Easter"
She changed her mind half a dozen
times; but finally put the picture. with
one Of her own cards, into an envelope,
and directed it.
''ThereI What harm can it do, at
any rate? And why shouldn't follow
an impulse when it comes, and have
faith in an interpreter who can explain
without footnotes?'
In Saturday nights mail the card
went to Miss Martha. She admired it
for a moment, her mind perhaps dis
tracted a little by her surprise that a
young girl should have remembered
her and her wonder whether the send
ing Of plain Easter cards were not a
somewhat antiquated fashion. Then
she proceeded to dispose of the matter
by straightway writing a formal note
Of thanks, which was dispatched that
same evening by her brothers Office
boy, and which made Helen, as she ex-
pressed it, feel 'aguish."
The following afternoon Miss Martha
was reused from the solid religious
work she was reading by the sound of
voices in the next room, the door into
which had been left ajar. They were
the voices of her eldest nephew and
niece, Teddy and Grace, commenting
on Helen's Easter card.
''Isn't it lovelyw Grace was saying,
''and it isn't sorrowfu1 bit, even if it
has got a grave in it,"
81 don't like graves" responded Ted
dy, gruff1y, "nor funerals, nor any of
that. But it seems as if we were at
such things all the time in this house"
'tWhen have funeral" said Grace,
''I want to have nice one, if I can,
that will be pleasant, you know, to re-
member me by" The little girl paused,
and then added, in lower tone: mot

sit was all Aunt Martha's fault, ="
broke in Teddy, with quick indigna-
ton, ''about mothers. Father didn't
want it so. He just let her have her
own way. because she was company
and doing US favor to come"
"And mother DESCRIBED a happy fu-
neral" mourned poor Grace; "she was
good and lovely, and just as Christian
as could be. It wasn't right to bury

she got to Heaven. she had to tell
mother she had kept you away from
going, when you. meant to do it. She's
always dinging It at US that she has to
be responsible for our clothes, and our
manners. and if we aren't forever cart
ing pocket handkerchiefs around, and
all the rest Of it; wonder how she'd
like to be responsible for that?"
ST think it would be NICE" said
Grace, with wistful little sigh, SD,
when you were at home, it was easy to
remember about Heaven-the way it
was when mother was here. But may
be it's only mothers that can make it
easy for you Maybe aunts do the best
they can; but maybe they don't know
how"
Miss Martha Dunbar did not derive
much satisfaction from her solid read.

went from the next room she mechanic
ally returned to her book; but present.
~ it was laid down on the table beside
her, and she dropped her face upon it
in her folded hands. It was long be-
fore she lifted it again; when she did
she murmured to herself:
with Gods help this aunt shall
learn how. May know my response
bility better after this!'
When supper was over Miss Martha,
taking drowsy two-year-o1d Jack from
his nurses arms, asked the other
pieces and nephews to follow her into
the library; and they came, wonder
ing.
Children" began Miss Martha,
stretching her hand out to Helen's
Easter card, and setting it up in sight
under the light of the lamp, ''you all
know what Easter means; but I think
we ought to understand it better to-
day than we ever have before. because
of the dear little mother who was
with us last year, but who is not here
now"
None Of them had ever heard such
falter in Miss Martha's firm tones be-
fore. At the sound Teddy slipped of
the edge of his distant chair and drew
closer. His aunt cleared her throat
and went on
''All the hope and promise Of Easter
ought to be very sweet to us. It is be-
cause of that that we can think so
peacefully of her lying dead in her
grave; because we know that she is
only waiting until the angel rolls
away the stone, when she will rise
again in the newness of the life ever
lasting"
Did the children understand all this?
Perhaps not all. But think they un-
derstood enough to warm their frozen
little hearts; and they understood very
we'll, indeed, when MISS Martha
began to tell them of the long ago
times when she and their mother were

An oft-told story that can neer grow old
