the Goldman as she had never heard it
before, and explained that he had no
power to restore her sight.
The children listened with intense
interest. Then, gently putting her
down, he told her brother to take her
home, asking their names and address.
Then a carriage came for him, and in
few minutes he was gone.
The children stood there hand in
hand in a dazed sort of way. till the
sexton made his appearance to turn out
the lights.
"Clar out. clar out, chillens. Does We
'spose we 'Piscopals never wants to git
to bed?'
Then they slowly started for home.
The nature of the expedition was pro-
found secret, they having got permits
sion to go to Uncle Jake's church"

Lily, as they reached the house. "Dey'd
all poke fun at US" Then, with sigh
that was full of pathos, she added, soft

The Simpson family, or their neigh
bors, will never forget the excitement
caused the next morning by carriage
stopping at the door of the Simpson
dwelling, from which a tall, fine-look-
ing man stepped briskly and knocked
on the door. And when, after call of
at least half an hour (which the good
man never recalls without vivid rec
objection of mingled odors of bacon,
cabbage and soap suds), he appeared
accompanied by Mrs. Simpson and Eas-
ter Lily, the excitement reached a pitch
which became almost panicky.

ing watching the flowers that were
carried in, and trying to get peep'in-
side. Every item of interest was care
fully repeated to Easter Lily.
''De bishops a-comin' tonight" the
colored sexton told them, Abraham
Lincoln being appointed a committee OF
investigation.
:sWhat's he comm fur?" asked the
boy. The sexton was family friend.
"Heaps OBJ folks is gwine to jine de
church." answered Uncle Jake. "And
de bishop he dresses all in white like
de angel Gabriel, and he puts his hands
on dere heads and dat makes 'em 'Pisco-
pals"
All this made an impression on Eas-
ter Lily that no one dreamed of. Sure
" this must be the Goldman. He put
His hands on folks and cured them.
She was willing to be 'Piscopal' if
He made her see, though what that
meant she hadn't the faintest idea.
OF all her brothers and sisters,
Grover Cleveland was her favorite. He
was nine years old and Every long
headed kid" his fond mother SAID.
So Easter Lily finally succeeded in
drawing him to more secluded spot,
where she confided to him a little plan
of her own.
'I'se fear'd yer hatchin' up some mis-
chief" said their mother that after
noon. 'tGrover Cleveland, if I cotch yer
putin any fool nonsense in dat blessed
chile's head twill be de wuss for yer"

Lily assured her. And glad to see the

church round the corner. The choir Of
white-robed boys was marching slow
ly down the aisle, singing in their sweet,
clear voices the hymn so full of inspira-
ton, especially to the confirmation
class: Onward, Christian Soldiers"
Then slowly the large congregation
empty save the bishop and the rector,
who were still kneeling at the chancel.
Suddenly the sacred silence was
broken by the patter of four little feet
tiptoeing up the aisle. Dressed in his
Sunday best. to which he added on his
own responsibility collar of his broth
er's which reached his ears, his walk
ing greatly impeded by the same big
brothers shoes, which were kept on
with difficulty, came Grover Cleveland,
while dressed in a bright red calico so
stiff1y starched that it cracked with
every movement, her head covered
with little pigtails tied with variety
of colors and sticking straight out,
trotted Easter Lily, holding tightly
to Growers hand as he shuffled along.
They reached the chancel just as the
bishop and rector arose from their
knees.
SHOWS yer chance" whispered Gro
yer Cleveland, in shrill, excited whis-
per, and they passed into the chancel.
"Here he is-cotch hold of his gownd
-cotch hold, quick"
"What is the meaning of this?" The
rector spoke very sternly as he saw
the white robe of the bishop firmly
clutched by pair of little black hands.
What are you doing here?"
But Easter Lily was too much in ear
nest to be driven off in that way She
only clutched the harder, and looking
up into the bishops face with her poor
sightless eyes said, fearlessly: "Oh,
Goldman, won't you make me see?'
Grover Cleveland now thought it
time for an explanation. "She's stone
blind, yer highness," he said, thinking
that the proper way to address a bishop,
and ducking his head as well as he
could, surrounded as it was by the col
lar. "And we thought yer highness
could cure her"
Like de Goldman dat Brudder Small
wood preached about" chimed in
Easter Lily.
Don't wait for me-" said the bishop
to the rector, who was absolutely
speechless. His voice trembled, and
there were tears in his eyes; those eyes
that never failed to look kindly upon all
who needed his help. Taking seat He
lifted the little girl in his lap, and in a
few simple words told her the story of
The Kinsley graphic. [volume] (Kinsley, Kan.) 1890-1940, 1899-03-31

For days afterward Mrs. Simpson
found her popularity as hostess al
most equal to that of " 'ristocratic white
folks" and she never tired of telling
the wonderful story of the bishops
visit, and how he took her and Easter
Lily to a great doctor who had cured
heaps of blind people, and who thought
he could cure little Easter Lily too.

grief to Mrs. Simpson. Her chief COM
fort was in the child's name. teEastah
Lily's so sort o religious Ike" she'd
say. "'Pears like it's jest the name for
a pore blind lamb"
Mrs. Simpson was devout member
of the ''Zion Baptist church" and Eas-
ter Lily was very fond of going with her
and listening to the singing. I think
in spite of Mrs. Simpsons sorrow over
the child's misfortune, she felt that it
somehow conferred certain distinc-
ton upon her to be the mother of a
blind child, and she took particular
pride in leading Easter Lily up the aisle,
and placing her on the seat beside her,
where with her little fat legs stuck
straight out she would sit, quiet as a
mouse, continually rolling her eyes,
precisely as if she could see, and join
ing in the singing with her shrill, child
ish treble. And she caught words here
and there in "Brudder Smallwood's dis
courses" which she remembered, and
often fired unexpected questions at her
mother, much to the poor woman's dis
comfiture.
''Who was it dat opened blind folkses'
eyes?" she asked suddenly one Monday
morning.
Mrs. Simpson took her steaming arms
out of the tub and wiped them on her
apron. "Why, de Laud, to be suah,
honey" she answered.
'He said a man done it, Brudder
Smallwood did," Easter Lily went on.
Mrs. Simpson wiped her face; theo-
logical discussions brought the sweat
to her brow. "De L .ud was de Laud,
and man, too," she said. 81 can't take
de time to 'splain it to yer now, and you
couldn't understand no how"
81 knows" said the child, evidently
satisfied. "De od-man did it," There
was pause and then she added: 81
done wish He'd come again. Specs He'd
make me see"
Things were getting beyond her
mother. She went to the door and
called Arabella Maud, who was hanging
clothes on the line. "Get move on yer,
gal, and come in and muse yer sister"
But the child didn't forget. Her mind
was active and she had re1narka BILE
memory for a child of six. She was
often heard telling wonderful stories
to her brothers and sisters, about the
Goldman who made blind folkses see.
There was unusual excitement at the
big stone church just round the corner,

dren of the neighborhood. among whom
were the little Simpsons, were intensely
interested, and spent most of the morn

Easter morning the rising sun shone
brightly on a little town on the borders
of Austria, beautifully situated on the
peaceful Ill, an affluent of the Rhine.
