on the steps he sat down. his head in

coming along, climbed upon his arm and

his breast. and burst into tears.

In a large church an organist was sit

noon. and one window. in line with the
sinking sun, showed clearly against pale
blue sky the figure Of the Good Shepherd,
in a robe Of white. holding a little lamb in
his arms. 1t stood out from the surround
ing dimness of the church. The tired
man at the organ ran his finger over the
keys and melody stole through the great
church and flied 10 overlooking the heart
Of a little figure just inside the doors.
Petro had heard in the street outside
the faint sound OF the organ. and hal
pushed open the half-closed doors. lie
was drawn nearer TO the music. and he
went slowly and softly up the long aisle
A great longing came TO him 20 sing. and
as if in answer, the organist commenced
TO play something familiar to the child,
something he had sung In the little church
at home, and suddenly he opened his lips
and sang
"A-ve-Ma-ri-a. A-ve-Ma-ri-a"
on to the end.
The organist had half turned. startled
at the first note. but had continued play.
