ness after some moments and when
careful examination had been made the
medical man declared that no bones
were broken, but that a badly-srrainei
ankle would ccnfine Bradnor to his bed
for many days.
The young, stalwart fellow, with his
six feet of height and broad shoulders,
chafed under the latter sentence. He
did not feel i'll, although the pain was
intense in his ankle. But the doctor
was obdurate, declaring that most seri-
Gus results would be likely to follow
any attempt upon his part to arise from
his bed for week, at least.
With a groan the man turned his
face away and presently fell asleep,
from the effects of opiate that had
been administered in his arm.
The following morning he dozed fit
fully, the effects of the drug not having
worn away, but with the afternoon his
intelligence returned to him. His eyes
ranging over the room he saw upon his
dressing case a great cluster of red
roses, and for moment he wondered
who had given them to him; but the
thought was an eyanescent cEe. Per-
haps he thought it was an act of Jer-
lyn's, who had spent the greater part
of the day in his room.
Day after Gay, however, ne observed
that fresh ones were supplied to replace
the others. When week had passed, he
turned suddenly upon Jerlyn and
thanked him for his care and the gift
of the flowers.
FLOWERS, what flowers?" demanded
Jerlyn, nervously. He was a little,
nervous man, who spoke rapidly.
Didn't know you cared for 'em. 1
don't. Cabbages are much more to my
taste, especially when boiled with bacon
or beef .
Bradnor did not pursue the subject,
but he brooded over it all the more. He
had no acquaintance or friend at the
Springs save Jerlyn, and he was sure
the landlord had not provided them.
He was now able to sit in an easy
chair and the doctor had promised that
within day or two he might, with the
aid of crutches, leave his room and
mingle with the guests of the hotel.
The following morning he was awake
when Bridget, the chambermaid, en-
tered his room and was surprised to see
her bearing cluster of fresh roses in
her hands.
Bridget" he said, with frmness,
come here"
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1897-04-17

The girl, somewhat trepidant, ap-
preached his bedside, still holding the
flowers.
$50 it is you who have been filling
that vase every morning, is it?'
''Shure, sor, an SO it wor," she replied,
with a courtesy.
Yes, Bridget, now hand me that
Pocketbook on the table there. That
is well. Now l want you to tell me who
gave you the roses to bring in to me-
''Howly mither, sor, an that 1 will
niver be afthcr doin'. Mrs. Travis, the
Teddy, sor, thrittened me 1 dom know
what av l sid a wurred about her, sor-''
THAT will do, my GIRL he said, gen
tly, as he placed a bill in her hands.
Leave the roses here by my side and
go out of the room for little WHILE
Tin dollars cried Bridget, after
reaching the hall, AN all because l wor
afther refusin' the tiliin' av him who
sint them! Shure the kind gintleman's
gone clane deft.''
Bradnor seized the cluster eagerly
and let his nostrils drink in their CRATE
full odor. While he did so the memory
of the heavenly voice freshened, and he
seemed to hear it sing over and over
again the hymns of the Easter day ser
vice. Then he listened for the dear
words of the flower song: 'Tis the Las.
Rose of Summer" In deep revery he
closed his eyes for several moments,
after which he opened them again, laid
the roses down with profound sigh
and then said, aloud:
Victor Bradnor, you wretch, you are
deeply, desperately and foolishly in
love with a human voice, and that voice

it's fellows. She was singing in the
great hall and the liquid tones poured
through the open windows.
When she had done he sighed heav-
lily, arose and strobe abruptly away
from his friend, who, with mild sur
prise upon his countenance, likewise
stood upon his feet and slowly followed
after Bradnor.
The latter proceeded on his way until
he reached the end of the long piazza,
when he faced about and paused, upon
the very brink of the broad flight of
steps.
His friend drew near and was about
to address him, when a party of ladies
approached from within and both gen
tlemen moved as if to permit them to
have greater freedom in passing. Brad
nor, in his abstraction, stepped back
ward instead of forward. with the re-
suit that he lost his footing, slipped and
fell heavily, rolling over until he
reached the ground.
Instantly everything was in confu-
sion. The friend, whose name was
Jerlyn, ran rapidly down the steps and
hastily leaned over the PROSTATE man,
while the ladies looked anXiously on
from the piazza Other guests were
quickly attracted to the spot
My Godi'' cried Jerlyn, looking
upward towards the ladies, after he had
touched the forehead and the wrist of
Bradnor, Il am afraid the dear old fell
low is dreadfully hurt"
A physician was hastily summoned,
but meantime the injured man had been
tenderly borne by strong arms to his
bed chamber. He recovered conscious

SO hating in purpose that he never sue
ceeded.
Bradnor took an early morning train
for his home in Baltimore, and when
the sun rose the hills around the little
Virginia village were far behind him.
But he took with him memory of that
place, fresher and sweeter and purer
than the white lilies that grew in lux
uriance upon either side of the roadway.
1t was the voice of a woman in the ivy
mantled village church.
'Confound it, he muttered, ''and the
owner of it is married. Yes, and doubt
less gray and old and wrinkled. What
have you to do with the voice of mar
ried woman, or anything else that be-
longs to her, Victor Bradnor?''
Still, though he sneered and reproved
himself, the voice quickened and sent
out repeated melodies in the great cham
Der of his thoughts.
White Sulphur Springs was filed with
people from all over the country and
among the throngs was Victor Bradnor,
who had gone thither not so much for
his health as to get away from the heat
of the city and the ennui that at times
oppressed him.
The evening was a delightful one in
August, and Bradnor was seated upon
the veranda of his hotel, holding high
converse with an old acquaintance he
had first met at Florence, and, later, at
London.
This friend was languidly telling of
a misadventure he had on gondola at
Venice, in which a fair Venetian maid
figured, punctuated by an involuntary
bath in the blue waters, when, suddenly,
Bradnor leaned his head to one side,
like a dog when attentive1y regardin g
his master.
He no longer heard his friend. The
firing of a cannon would not have di-
verted him from the object of his in
terest.
Again the tender chords of memory
were touched and his big chest heaved
like huge bellows pumped by a smith.
The voice of the village church
poured out it's richness in a stream of
glory, overwhelming yet inspiring him
with it's refreshing. The woman was
singing the "Last Rose of Summer A
touch of sadness pervaded her voice,
which now and then nearly quiz cred
with emotion as she declared the soli-
fairness of the flower and the death of

For going on, our life grows gray
In shadow of the passed away;
The things we had, and have not, seem
The fading vision of dream,
Dear voices hushed, dear hands ungrasped,
Dear household broken, links unclasped
That late were binding kith and kin;
Such winds of sorrow have swept in
That wide. waste spaces everywhere
Leave empty silence, bleak and bare.
Not now with starry lilies Digit
We greet the Casters morning light.
Our lilies bloom beyond the tide,
Sweet fields on that other side,
Here meet we pain and fret and loss,
And heavy weight of rough-hewn cross.
When Easter breaks, thank God, we say,
For strength still equal to our day,
For hopes that span the road before
And love that climbs to Heavens door.
IT'S much, If but, serene and still,
We can accept the Fathers will,
And comforted, uplift our psalm,
And feel, through tears, the Easter balm.
And now, by every lowly grave,
One tender thought our fond hearts crave,
That He whose outward grave-clothes lay
Folded and fair on Easter day
May come SO much our own to be
That aye His blessed company
May light like sunshine all our gloom,
And make our Easter lilies bloom
In hearts that join with full accord
The anthems to the risen Lord.

church, and it recalled tender memories
of the days of his youth.
Following it's sound he reached the
edifice, which stood in the midst of a
neglected graveyard full of grave
stones, many of which were fallen or
broken in pieces. Tangles of bush and
brier were on every hand.
Entering the house of worship, which
he found to be already filled, he mod
-estly took seat near the door and I'M
der the gallery of the choir.
The day was Easter, and the plain
'oaken altar bore large vases of sweet
flowers, whose fragrance had stolen all
over the audience room and made the
air of the April morning grateful with
its presence.
Soon the little organ sent forth a
peal announcing a prelude, and the
young man looked bored. But in a mo-
ment he assumed an attentive, rapt at
itude, and ripples of glad sunshine
played over his features.
A voice of marvellous sweetness rang
cut within the narrow walls of the
sanctuary. 1t was full, rich, clear, di-
vine almost, in its expression.
Bradnor thought of the angel song
on the plain of Bethlehem, and closed
his eyes, as though to shut out all sight
lest the glorious harmonies be lost to
him.
He did not think of the singer. wheth-
er old or young, nor of the triumphant
words of the hymn she sang. 1t was
her voice, so intense in its earnestness.
so hutelike in its softness. yet so human,
withal, that had entered his soul
Thenceforth he had no heart for the
prayers, nor the words that were read,
nor the sermon that was spoken. He
sat as one in a deep sleep, from which
he only reused when the ineffable voice
rang out in its rich cadences. Others
mingled with it, but these he did not
hear.
When the services were ended he
slowly made his way to the village inn,
where he had been stopping during the
past week. There he inquired of the
landlord concerning the owner of the
voice.
Boniface was a fat, wheezy fellow,
whose thoughts came slow and whose
speech was slower. Bradnor found it
necessary to repeat the question.
