and "Enki"
Mary Tyler turned the lamp dim be-
fore she took up her vigil at the VIM
dow. She had worked herself into the
right spirit. She was humble and sub
missive; she called herself hard names
to the Lord, but she wanted her baby;
more than anything on earth or 1T
Heaven she wanted her baby. She
would be thankful for the favor;
though she lived to be an old, old
| woman she would never get over be-
| ing thankful. She would be model
Christian woman, refusing TO "jaw''
witt Pete even when he was terribly
out of hlrmor, remembering that the

times, and she would attend church
every Sabbath, rain or shine.
Tae view from the cottage window
took in piece of the moonlit road, the
giorified old church and the graveya. d.
The ncighbors had said that it was a
pity Mary Tyler lived SO near the grave
yard, it kept her trouble fresh. But
she was glad as she knelt there praying
that she was so very near. She knew
the exact spot where she must look to
see that little white-robed figure start
for home. When would it happen
How long must she pray?
The wind rose little. The woman at
the window could see the branches OF
the pine tree swaying over the lily
covered mound. Lord, it's IL O'clock -
she murmured; won't you let her
come SCOOP
One, two, three three times the
kitchen clock sounded. Was it posi-
bic that the sounds were only an honr

After four o'clock hopeless feeling

sank on her hands; she had no more

JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING

IT'S in your heart, beloved. that the Easter
morning breaks,
Your slumbering consciousness Of love
with thrilling Joy awakes;
Your thought goes out a minister of good
to heal and bless
The suffering and deso1ate who need your
tenderness.
IT'S in your heart. beloved. that the Easter
lilies bloom,
The sweet flowers of affection whose in
cense cheers the gloom:
Go forth and spill their fragrance. what
ever wind may blow,
The lilies of Ascension thro' all the years
must grow.
IT'S from your heart, beloved, that the
stone IS rolled away,
The Life for ell men given pulses in your
life to-day.
The banners Of loves marching hosts are
to the breeze urfur1ed.
And the dawn-light of the Kingdom is
4 stfzaming down the world.
Ring out the bells, beloved. the Joyous
Easter bells,
Celestial harmony along their cadence
rolls and swells,
The blessed Christ Is risen In the hearts
that throb and thrill
Responsive to loves law wherein we ma
all laws fulfill.

Clear and peacefully the bell rang
out. The people crowded up from the
village. She knew how the procession
filed from the doors of the church, the
minister leading. Yes, it was very beau
tiful. They were in the graveyard, the
dawn was breaking in the east, men
and women and children were singing.
Her prayer had not been answered.
The clock in the kitchen struck five.

A FRENCH EASTER CUSTOM.
The Children Search Through House an,
Garden for the Easter Eggs.

The Children Search Through House and
Garden for the Easter Eggs.
AT Easter the French maiden, IA
vored by friend or sweetheart, does not
find her gifts at the breakfast place or
handed TO her with the morning coffee,
but instead she las to search for the
treasures. They are hidden in ell man
ner of curious places. Little French
children have great fun over this Gus
tom. The kind mamma usually re-
ceives all the pretty gifts which come,
and with wonderful ingenuity places
them in places of which The small son
or daughter Will think of probably
after all hope has been given up. The
pigeon-hole of desk makes excellent
hiding places for a basket of sugar eggs,
the drawer of seldom-used bureau
may secrete fat Easter rabbit, it's
paws clasping candy egg filed with
sugar plums. The napkin at breakfast
may make good cover for painted
eggshel1. The De Lesseps children, of
whom there were IS, were always very
active on Easter morning. rising with
the dawn. One year the brilliant dis
play of costly eggs were int1usted to
the gardener of their house in Paris.
The house, which was on the Avenue
Montaigne, was not an extensive one,
but its garden had great number of
large flower bushes and HAD a high
hedge of laurel and hawthorne. The
gardener did his work well, and more
animated scene than that of The little
De Lesseps scuttling around the garden
after their treasures could not be imag-
iEed.
If I recollect rightly, all the eggs
which had been especially bought or
sent as gifts to the children were
wrapped in tissue paper and marked
''Toto," Madeline" etc, and the child
who found one which did not belong
to him or ner carefully replaced it SO
as not to spoil the fun for the real
owner. A number of ordinary eggs,
simply gilded, silvered or colored, were
hidden which, belonged to anyone who
might search well. A beautiful egg
basket which was full of sweets was
found dangling gracefully to a branch
of lilac bush, the loose earth around
the newly planted pansies hid three
satin egg boxes wrapped in tissue pa
per, empty Ao"eT pots "eic tAeoSuAS
stores for sweets and the hydrangeas'
broad leaves covered a multitude OF
beautiful presents, while even live
Easter rabbit was found cunningly
concealed by two heads of lettuce,
which lay on top of his lattice box.
This is an amusing and pretty custom
which would cause much amusement
among Amer lean children.-N- Y. Ad.

bodied spirit closely and then he burst

At this moment Idly Wilson's baby
awoke, perceived the unfamiliar sur

'Git off them damp clothes and quiet
her." said Pete.
half an hour later Idly Wilson's baby
! was closing her big blue eyes right con-
tentedly as her small body grew more
| and more accustomed to the pitch and
fling of Mrs. Tyler's favorite rocker.
"Mebbe we kin keep her; mebbe as
she was sent in place of the other one."

'Mebbe as we kin keep her? I reckon

his wife and Idy's baby. The big blue

"Mebbe she'd like baby doll fer to
