10 church with distracted mind, but
as soon as the joyous and beautiful
Easter anthems were sung all her
doubts were gone.

III was well that she Ind made an
Easter Offering OF herself that morning.
She was friendly-there was no need TO

a composed way;

He found her, 10 his surprise. ready
10 90 out. but he cheerfully acquiesced
in her wish that she should accompany
him, even when she informed him that
her errand was TO a hospital.
The young assistant OF ST. Jude's
was there awaiting them. Some flowers
had been brought from the chancel TO
adorn the little tablo drawn uf TO the
side Of the sick girl. She had partaken
Of the feast of Easter. and was lying
back on her pillow when Marion led
Philip Neff to her bedside. and waited
for mutual recognition.
But the young man seemed 70 feel
himself an intruder at this sacred
scene, and looked distressed. and Mabel
scarcely glanced ut him before turning
her head YEARLY away.
''Do you know her?" asked Marion.
II? No. Miss Armitage. l never saw
her in my life before" answered Philip
Neff. firmly. and without hesitation.
"Then why does she claim this ringT'
asked Marion, stepping forward and
lifting the thin hand TO view.
That is my ring came the faint am

"Who gave IL TO you?" asked Marion.
"My husband. Philip Neff."
"Oh." exclaimed Neff. stepping 10 tho

transient human pain. for some who
have missed 1t. as AZ the more typical
keeping OF Easter could compare with
that Easter which they have entered
upon.
Our lilies bloom and pass away.
But theirs shall live and bloom for aye"
Marion had made a very curious dis
coyery after the steamer had left Pal
ermo. She had found In the folds OF her
dress. as IL IL had been dropped there,
an antique rlng-a curious arrange
ment Of ancient gems, set in silver,
which she had noticed on the hand Of
the American, Mr Neff. Her first inn
pulse was 10 snow II 10 her aunt; her
next, TO keep IL as bond between them
until she could forward IL tohim+ Then
the idea occurred 10 her that he might
have given IL 70 her purposely--but no,
she did not think he would have ven
tured 10 do such q thiDg--yet love was
daring. and Marion ended the matter by
forgetting IL until she reached home.
After that she wore IL as souvenir OF
travel, intending 20 return IL when its
owner came home.
But a strange thing happened before
that time. During the Lenten season
Marion had devoted herself 20 chari-
table work. She had gone into the
slums to rescue the most wrctched and
degraded. She had visited the charity
wards Of thehospitals, and In st. Mary's
she had found young creature who
was fast leaving world that had been
most cruel TO her. She lad helped this
poor soul up into the blessed sunlight
of divine peace. and knowing that she
had cruelty suffered. had sought 90 win
from her the story of her life. But her
lips were sealed. She admitted that
she was wife abandoned by her hus-
band. Since she had lost love she would
have nothing else, and had stolen away
TO die in fit OF jealous despair.
IL happened one day that Marion wore
the souvenir ring. and as she bent over
the sick girl. who was known only as
Mabel, the eyes OF the latter rested
upon 1T. She gave n great cry.
"My husbands ring!" she exclaimed,
and tainted.
1t was days before she rallied. during
which time the ring reposed on her
own finger; then she proved her right
to IL by naming the letters engraved
on the inside.
Marion did not at once return to her

The English name Easter and the
German Ostern are most probably do
rived from the name OF the feast OF the
Teutonic goddess Ostra. which was
celebrated by the early Saxona In the
spring of the year, and which VIVA sup

old word oster. which means rising,

"Philip Men il my husband"
These were the words spoken by the
pale lips Of the sick girl. and Marion
knew that they were true.
But she had seen anger and jealousy
In the eyes OF the woman she had be-

withdrawn from any contact with her
until Mabel had sent for her 20 come
and make a full explanation.
What was there 10 explain? The ring
had dropped from the hand of Neff
when he laid the flowers In the lap of
Marion. ns he explained in answer TO
her letter OF inquiry. He had asked
her 10 keep IL until he came. MS IL might

that ring before he left"
The sick girl frowned and turned her
head aside. The pain-distoried soul
was almost at peace, and resented the
intrusion OF either earthly love or hate.
The compassion in Philip Neff's face
and voice were alike lost on her now.
The solemn tones of the young minister
broke the stiffness. He was singing a
canticle OF Easter:
The strife IL DER. tho battle done
The victory OF life IL won,

Philip Neff knelt by the side OF the
dying girl and gently chafed her cold
hands. She smiled, and her lips FAINT

the sisters approached. and Philip drew
Marion away. She was crying softly,
and he said
