ty.third regiment was sent to Syassi, ana
Captain Dapray's company OF the same
regiment went to Bongao, the southern
most part Of Tawitawi. The Moros are

see the troops. General Bates went to
Syassi on the Yorktown. When the
troops landed and the flag was raised
and saluted, the Chinese inhabitants
responded with a great display OF ire
works.
Kalvi and Jokanine, the two datos who

not yet begun their threatened rebellion
General Bates touched at Zamboanga

the insurgents.
Batson's Maccabebe scouts surprised
two small towns on the Pampanga river

bed the last tim. Ruth had seen her
lying sick and st,ll-"and then I'll Gle
and go 10 Heayea." She rose now and,
stepping to the window, peered be-
tween the dusky festoons at the blue
sky. as IL she expected to see the angels
already descending to bear her away.
At last she went quietly down the
stairs; she must find the flowers first,
and TO go out of doors by the back way
she must pass through the kitchen.
The girl was at the stove frying dough-
nuts. and looked up as Ruth entered.
"Hullo," she said; have a dough
nut"
These doughnuts were not for the in
mates of the farm, and il was a rare
honor to be offered one. For a mo-
ment Ruth forgot her errand, IL was so
warm and sweet. While she was eat
ing it, standing close by the fire. the
girls mother, who was sitting in the
kitchen. spoke:
ITO think to-morrer should be
Easter"
II know it; / hope it'll be pleasant"
What is Eastern" asked Ruth, tim
idly.
Law sakes! what heather she is.
cried the woman.
Easter" said the girl, oracularly.
balancing doughnut on the end of her
fork, sis the day when Christ rose from
the dead, as all the dead shall rise"
Ruth, as she stood in the corner, ate
her doughnut and pondered over the
words.
81 guess to-morrow'll be the best
day TO die in" she decided, watching
with hungry eyes as the girl bore the
pan of doughnuts off to the matron's
private iarder; 'that's the day the dead
shall all rise"
The next morning brought Easter
fair and glad day for many as we'll as
for little Ruth; for was not this to be
the day on which she should rise to her
mother in the skies? She went out
into the garden directly after breakfast
to gather some flowers. After much
searching Ruth discovered in a swamp
far from the house, pussy-willow
bush, with the catkins clinging gray
and soft to the shining brown twigs.
She picked great bunch of these and
bore them home in triumph. Suddenly
she remembered something; her moth
er's lament the night before she lost
all knowledge of where she was, that
she must die in the poor farm; how bad
she felt about that. 81 don't think
mammal want me to die here" she
murmured, with a little sob of disap-
pointment in her voice.
1t was at dusk of that Easter day
The Forrest City times., 1899-03-31

when little white-robed figure stole
softly out of the back door of the poor
house, and, creeping slowly along in
the shadow, came at last to Mrs. Whit
aker's back gate. Then it fairly flew up
the pathway, and paused at the door.
But the door was locked, and there was
no key in sight. A sudden memory
came to Ruth of the day when, she had
been to walk with the girl at the poor
farm. and the girl had taken the key
from under the mat. She reached
down now and felt beneath the mat.
Yes, there it was. She fitted the key
in the door, turned it quickly and
found herself in Mrs. Whitaker's pleas
ant kitchen, where the fire glowed in a
safe, subdued fashion, and the dining
room showed through the half-open
door
But Ruth wasted scarce a glance ON
these beauties. She had seen the
brown and white pony go down the
road some time since, and she planned
to die and be done with it before the
pony's owner should return.
She wiped her cold bare feet care
fully on the kitchen rug; it appeared
to her most fitting to die in bare feet;
then, holding the big bunch of pussy
willows closely. she crept softly up the
stairs to the handsome square cham
bers. She was awestr,rck with their
size and grandeur, and it took her some
time to decide which one was suitable
for her laying out; but at last she Sc
lected Mrs. Whitaker's own bedroom.
She placed the pussy-willows in vase
on the table at the head of the bed, and
then she opened the window wide.
II should think that would be big
enough for the angels to get me
through, if they're careful" she said,
aloud; she had not seen her mother
carried away in the poorfarm wagon
in the long. black box.
She climbed solemnly up into the
great high-posted bed, lying quietly in
the center of it. her little close-cropped
head against Mrs. Whitakers spick and
span shams, her small, bare feet pro-
jecting. pinkstoed and chill, from the
edge of her carefully drawn down
nightgown. She folded her hands

want to die;" she had screwed her ewes
more tightly together this time.
Mrs. Whitaker Strengthened up.
"Oh, you do, do your" then she bent
over the bed. "Have You taken any
thing?" she asked, solicitously.
The child looked at her now. mo.
1 didn't have anything that was good
enough. You can get most every thing
in Heaven can't your"
Anne Whitaker retreated pace and
sat down in the nearest chair. She did
not answer until she realized that Ruth
was still looking at her inquiringly.
YES, l guess So" she began, hastily.
Then she felt a draft of cold air.
Il guess there isn't much doubt about
your dying if you lie there with that
window open;" she went toward the
window and closed it.
Don't shut it; how can the angels
come in?" Ruth sat up in bed and
looked at her.
Anne Whitaker looked back at the
than little face and the sad, dark eyes,
and lump came into her throat.

guess" she said; but she was not think
ing of the words.
She went over to the child, who had
lain down again. and touched her bare,
chill fee. You're going to catch
your death a-cold," she affirmed. I'm
going to put my shawl over YOU"
The child unfolded her hands and
spread them out in appeal. won't
you please let me die? This is such a
nice house 10 die in
Again Mrs. Whitaker retreated
"What-what do you want to die for %
she stammered.
Cause my mamma died, an want
to go an see her in Heaven; an it's a
more joyful place than the poorhouse."
Mrs. Whitaker had ALWAYS prided
herself on being a woman Of resource
She sat down on chair opposite the
bed and studied the little figure per-
plexedly. Suddenly there was move
ment OF the small nose. a wrinkling Of
the smooth eyebrows. and the next
moment the still form was shaken by a
convulsive sneeze.
Mrs. Whitaker sprang to her feet.
The Forrest City times., 1899-03-31

across her breast, closed her eyes, just
as she had seen her mother on that last
day, and waited-waited through the
seconds that the tall hall-clock licked
solemnly from below the stairs, waited
while they turned to minutes, and even
to an hour; but the angels were wait
ing. too, the guardian angels of little
Ruth.
While she waited the brown and white
pony was ambling down the road, bear
ing Mrs. Whitaker home after the
church service. She had left Hannah
ON the way to make call on her family
and was now alone. The peace of Eas-
ter was smiling on her lips and the JOY
of Easter was shining in her eyes; for
Easter has always the largest meaning
to those. left as she, alone in the world.
She drove up the driveway to the barn,
lighted the lantern and embarrassed
the horse-the hired man had his Sun
days out; then she came TO the back
door. The sight of the key projecting
from the lock brought another frown
to her face.
"Hannah's getting careless she
said. as she stepped into the kitchen.
She sat down a moment before the fire
in the darkness, then rising, lighted
lamp and went slowly up the stairs to
put away her bonnet and shawl.
She came into her bedroom, placed
the light on her bureau and turned
about toward the bed. She gave sud-
den cry, not shrek, but something
between a moan and a. sob and put her
hand to her side. But after a still
moment, she went to the bureau, picked
up the lamp in steady hand and
walked gravely to the bedside, looking
over the little white figure from the
dark, roughened hair TO the pink-toed
feet. A hint of a smile came to the
corners of her mouth.
Now the child opened her big black
eyes, saw the faint smile and TRANQUILITY
closed them again.
Anne Whitaker frowned. Was it
trick being played upon her?
What are you doing here?" she
demanded, still holding the light and
still peering down into the child Is face.
Ruth opened her eyes again with
look of appeal in them. I'm dying"
she answered, calmly, and then closed
her eyes.
Mrs. Whitaker jumped so that the
chimney almost fell from the lamp;
she hurried to the bureau, placed it
there and then came back to the bed.
DO you feel very bad?" she queried,
anxiously.
A nteous frown came to the child's
forehead. "Please don't 'Nurb me, l

ground.
Another pauper's funeral" Mrs.
Whitaker murmured, looking over her
shoulder, as she drove on past the town
farm.
Again Anne Whitaker's lips curled.
"Old men and funerals, right next
door," and this time she struck the
slow-moving pony gentle blow with
her equally slow-moving whip.
Now Mrs. Anne Whitaker was not a
hard,hearted woman. She was only
an indignant land owner who found
her handsome farmhouse almost ruined
for residential and property purposes
by its proximity to- the poor farm. This
farm, adjoining Mrs. Whitaker's, had
been left to the town last year.
Its not that don't want the pau
pers to be comfortable" said Mrs.
Whitaker, as the pony trotted up the
driveway toward the barn; but must
say dom care to have them right IN
der my nose"
Mrs. Whitaker, not finding her man
about, embarrassed the pony and led
him into the stall and then went in
doors to duscuss with Hannah, the only
other occupant of the big house, thu
disadvantages of the locality.
Meantime in the poorhouse, next
door, a little child was sobblng her
heart out in an upper room.
You hadn't oughter have taken her
away before her mother died, il she
did make a FUSS" said the daughter of
the woman who looked after the poor
farm, I'm agoin' up to see her"
She went up two flights of stairs to
the garnet room where child was
seated ON an old box in the corner. The
child stopped crying, half frightened as
she entered. The girl sat down on a
trunk opposite

child. with new courage.
The girl hesitated moment. We'll,

"Oh," said the child, slowly, you

didn't tell me; they just carried me

girl; you took on so about her bein'

coaxingly.

gravely.

The girl went downstairs and left
Ruth sitting very still upon the box
in the corner and thinking hard, with
her eyes fixed on a cobweb just across
the garnet.
