He took the ring in his other hand

then she put It on her left hand,
whence It seemed to strike cold to
her very heart.

Esther had two or three pinks in her
hand. Noticing that the little boy
looked at them eagerly, the kind-heart-
ed child approached the bed.
will you have them, Freddy"
The sick boy reached out his hand
quietly, without speaking. and Esther
laid the flowers In It.
Thank you Miss Esther" said the
mother, gratefully. "He always loved
flowers so. But flowers cost something
at this time Of year."
Like fash thought darted through
Esther's brain-my lilies!
He may have those" she answered,
hastily. II meant them for the teacher,
but she always has lots. 1t doesn't
matter!"
She ran down the stairs, scarcely
hearing Mrs. Morgan's Tell your
mother l will finish the work by to-
morrow"
She walked rapidly down the street,
trying to push out the little thought
which came again and again as fast as
she rejected it:
ITO give Freddy my lily? Not to take
1t to the church! Oh, couldn't do
that!"
There was little time for talk. School
was beginning. At recess, when the
girls talked over their plans for flow
ers, Esther ran away to play lively
game. She wanted neither to talk nor
think. When she was alone that night
her one thought was: mo, l can't do
1t! l cannot!"
Mother, do you think Freddy is very
sick?" she asked the next day.
II don't suppose he will ever be per-
fectly well again." answered Mrs.
Shaw. "Why?"
"His mother says he likes things
flowers"-began Esther slowly.
II don't suppose she can give him
much beyond bread and butter. You

may take him some jelly today, If you
like, Esther!"
The little boy still lay upon the bed
when Esther came in with the jelly.
The plnks stood in a cup beside his
hand.
Il believe those flowers did him
more good than anything yet, Miss"
said Mrs. Morgan, who sat sewing near
the window. "He always was that
fond of flowers! 1t was good of you
to think OF giving them to him." Es-
Their sighed. Gould 1 do it?" she
thought. She watched the boy take a
spoonful CT the jelly and lie back again
languidly.
rs he very sick, Mrs. Morgan?" she
asked again.
"Oh, he'll be all right when he can
run out and see the roses and the lilies
and the daisies"
His mother came and shook up his
pillow, and then she moved the flowers
little nearer and took the jelly away.
Esther walked home with the ques-
tion unanswered in her heart. Then
she stood before the lily and consid-
cred it.
Il suppose Freddy would think It
was beautiful, and it would keep in
bloom a long time If his mother wa
tered 1t. And know he's pretty sick,
and suppose really ought to be glad
to give 1t to him, If can. Butch,
dear, it would be the tallest one, and
prettier than any ones, and l did
want to put it with the other girls'!"
After all, It wasn't an easy problem
for a little girl to solve. It seemed
pretty big to Esther. The lily got
little salt water that afternoon. by
and by Mrs. Shaw, coming in, found
Esther still staring at the lily, with
red cheeks and suspiciously bright
eyes.
What is 1t, little girl?"
So she told her mother all about It,
and somehow the question seemed to
clear as she talked it out.
But yet It did seem right to take 1t
to the church." she said. in a slightly
puzzled tone.

Perhaps & wasn't 30 much taking Il to

It was bigger lily than the Others"
Esthers cheeks flushed.
"You see, grille. the flowers in church

ly flower growing out Of the dark
earth. They mean life coming out Of
death and good out Of evil"
Eyes, mammal know"
"You meant to give your flower in
church because every one would adj
mire its beauty. You can make your
gift SILL more beautiful if you decide
to give 1t to a little child who has no
other flower to make his Easter hap
py"
"Ye-es," responded Esther.
She did spend few more signs over
the matter. Esther was only little
girl. But, after all, it is Drawer to do
what one feels to be right, when 1t is
hard work than when one is excited by
a feeling of ones Own goodness.
She carried the flower to Freddy the
next day. "Cause, you, see, mamma,
she explained, "he might as well begin
right away to keep Easter, If my lily
is going to help him do It,"
''It is very good of you. I'm sure,

presented her flower. your other
flowers have done him much good"
The sick boy was propped up in a
chair. He smiled and frightened, look
ing at the1wonderful white flowers, and
put out his fingers to touch the waxer
leaves.

DRYING DAMP WHEAT.

Kew Process for Extracting Moisture
From Grain Under Vacuum.
From the London Times A new
process for artihcially extracting mols-
ture from wheat was put to careful
test in Berlin recently. The trial was
carried out at the instance of Mr.. Yer
burgh, M. p, who sent over fifty quar-
ters of English wheat to be submitted
to the process. The result was en-
tirely satisfactory, over per cent Of
moisture being taken from the wheat
which was a very dry sample in eX-
cellent condition-while the heat 70
which It was subjected could not pos
sibly affect 1t injuriously. The prln-
ciple Of the process-Viz.. that of dry
ing under a vacuum-has been applied
to many articles of commerce, and the
result of this trial is to show that 1t
is equally we'll adapted to wheat. It
is. hardly necessary to point out that
the subject is one Of great interest to
British farmers, who would be greatly
benefited by the provision of facilities
for getting their wheat into condition,
particularly in wet season. The full
details Of the trial will be laid before
the agricultural committee on corn
stores.

The Casters Marching On.

Do ye hear the song Of triumph,
Breaking Ger the brink OF dawn
Hear the gladness and the glory
OF the casters marching on?
Hark! The universe is throbbing
To its sweet, unbroken chime,
10! The ages are resounding
With its choral strain sublime!
Do we hear its echoes ringing
Down the centuries long gone,-
Do we mark the rhythmic football
OF the casters marching on?
Do we see their banners cleaning,
And their serried cohorts bright,
And their standards high uplifted,
Radiant with celestial light?
See sin skulking, shadows scatter,
Conquered death grow weak and
wan.
Terrors fleeing from the highway
OF the casters marching on
See the grave, so dark and dreaded,
Now become a royal bed
Which the King of Kings hath hal
lowed
Where is neither Death. nor dead!
Do we know the holy JoyIng,
Breathing blissful benson,
Sorrows keenest dart Destroying
OF the casters marching on?
Feel We not the wings Of healing
Chase afar the clouds Of gloom,
AS earth thrilled with glad rejoicing,
Bursts to bright and beauteoua
bloom?
With one mighty song victorious,
With one glorious antiphon,
With one watchword, are the legions
OF the casters marching on.
Christ hath risen, hath abolished
Satan's misunderstood
Life immortal, life eternal!'
Shout the casters marching on!

one moment suspected that his neph-
ew and Mrs. Harris were married. He
imagined that the little establishment
was kept up in a way which Is not
an uncommon one in London, and that
now Dick was safely packed of to In
dla, he could 80 and make friends with
the loveliest girl he had seen for many
day, without any more dihiculty than
that Of starting an acquaintance.
To tell the truth plainly, Lord Ayl-
mer had seen Dorothy with Dick sew
eral months before he carried out the
plan which had got his nephew safe
ly out of the road, and had left him,
as he believed, poor, conceited, deluded
old man, fair field; and to tell the
truth further and more plainly still.
Lord Aylmer had fallen desperately In
love with her! So desperately that he
had put himself under great obliga-
lions to his old friend Barry Boynton,
had set my lady's suspicious working.
and had made Dick detest him more
than ever, in order that he might pos
sibly be able by hook or by crook to
find favor in Dorothy's eyes. Poor de-
luded old man, If he had only known
all! II ne could only have listened to
the young husband and wife discuss
ing "the old savage" and have known
all that had its home In Dorothy's
faithful and tender heart!
But then, you see, he did not, and so
I have longer story to tell you than
1 should have had 1t all gone smoothly
and we'll with our young couple, and
they had started their married life at
the tail of a marching regiment, on an
increased allowance kindly given them
by liberal and indulgent uncle.
The old lord had not found It an
easy matter to effect an acquaintance
with the young lady in Palace Man
slons; and really, when you think Of
1t, 1t is not always an easy thing to
accomplish, especially when there Is no
help on the other side! However, this
morning, after having spent many
hours accommodating the block OF
buildings called Palace Mansions, after
having driven slowly up and down
High street, after making many more
or less useless purchases in the High
street shops, and after frettlng his i'm.
patient old soul into fever, he made
up his mind that he would go boldly
up to the house, ask for Mrs. Har.

parted Dick, and gradually work into
a position of friendllness with the OBJ.
ject Of his present admiration.
This admirable plan was, however,
destined never to be carried out-nol
because Lord Aylmer changed his
mind, not bit of i'll He carried out
his part of It so far as to order his
carriage for a certain hour, and when
that hour came get into 1t and to give
an order to Charles.

young ladies'" began Miss Sanders.
Several Of the younger girls always
glggled when their Sunday school
teacher began that way. Partly be-
cause the humor of being called
young ladies" struck them; partly be-
cause they were pleased by the COM
pliment; partly because they were
young and couldn't help it.
Miss Sanders went on to explain 70
the young ladies" that the church
would be decorated next Saturday for
the Easter celebration, and that If each
pupil brought pot Of lilies the class
would be we'll represented.
81 have a lovely pot Of lilies at
home, Miss Sanders" said Esther
Shaw, eagerly, when the class was dis
missed. 1T has six lilies on 1t, and it
is so tall-taller than any in the for
lists"
"That is very nice, Esther" smiled
Miss Sanders. Bring 1t early. If it is
so pretty you shall have a good place
for it."
Esther went home with springing
feet. She had watched and tended that
lily so carefully all winter. How glad
she was now! Mr.. Learner, the florist,
had none prettier than that. It would
be the tallest there. Mrs. Shaw had all
ways encouraged Esther in her love
for flowers. 1t seemed as If the little
girl was to be rewarded for her work.
The next morning Esther had an err
rand to do before school.
II can't watt" she said, hastily,
when two of the girls stopped to ask
about the church decorations. Eyes,
my lily is splendid! III tell you at re-

scarcely waiting for "COme in"

Jump at the chance, and here, to his
intense surprise, was Elsie demurring
to take him because he had said no

to you. l should have pretended that
had been mistaken in thinking 1 had
cared for Dorothy. l should have
sworn l had never loved any one but
you. And by-and-by you would have
found me out, and then we should both
be wretched. AS it is, came and told
you honestly all that was in my heart,
I-I-asked you to help me over this
bad time, because l thought you loved
