the light on her bureau and turned
about toward the bed, She gave 4 sud-

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 a steady hand and
walked gravely 10 the bedside, looking
over the little white figure from the
dark, roughened hair 10 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

Anne Whitaker frowned. Was il

demanded, still holding the light and

Ruth opened her eyes again with
look Of appeal in them. I'm dying,

her eyes.
Mrs. Whitaker jumped 50 that the
chimney almost fell from the lamp;
she hurried to the bureau, placed it
there and then came back to the bed.

anxinusly.

The child looked at her now. ''No,

enough. You can get most every thing
in Heaven, cant you?"
Anne Whitaker retreated a pace and
sat down in the nearest chair. She did
not answer until she realized that Ruth
was still looking at her lnquirihgly.
Yes, I guess so" she began, hastily.
Then she felt draft of cold air.

II gness to-morrow'll be the best

with hungry eyes as the girl bore the

private larder; sthat's the day the dead

The next morning brought Easter,
fair and glad day for many as well rs
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 swamp
far from the house. a pussy-wiIlow
bush. with the catkins cIinging 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

al knowledge of where she was. that
she must die in the poor farm; how bad
she felt about that. II don't think
mamma'd want me to die here she
murmured. with a little sob of disap-
pointment in her voice.
IT was at dusk of that Easter day
when a little whfte-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. 4 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

/ "What-what do you want to die for?''
she stammered.
Cause my mamma died, an | want
to 60 an see her in Heaven; an it's a
more joyful place than the poorhouse. F."
Mrs. Whitaker had always prided
herself on being a woman of resource.
She sat down on a chair opposite the
bed and studied the little figure per
pleXedly. Suddenly there was a move
ment of the small nose, a wrinkling of
the smooth eyebrows, and the next
moment the still form was shaken by a
convulsiye sneeze.
Mrs, Whitaker sprang to her feet
"There's one thing sure" she declared
impressiyely, "if | let you lie there
that way might as well be a murderer
and done with it. Wanting to die, in
deed! Don't you know the Lords got
work for you in the world, and it isn't
right for you 10 die?"
Her voice rose in her Indignation
louder than she knew, from the clothes
press where she was extracting her big
gest and warmest gray shawl. When
she turned again toward the bed, two
great tears were stealing from beneath
Ruth's dark lashes and making slow
way down her hollow cheeks. Mrs.
Whitaker groaned and choked and sat
down with the shawl in her arms.
Then, what seemed like a brilliant in
spiration came to her.
apNg
stairs; they're brown an crispy. and
there's one that's just about big
enough for little girl. I should think
she'd like to have something to eat be-
fore she dies"
The child's mouth moved convulsive-
ly at the corners, but this time it was
not with grief
"And I've got a cooky that's round,
with sugar on the top and hole in the
middle" Mrs. Whitaker smiled broad
ly as Ruth sat up.
"And could take one to mamma,
ioo?' she asked.
ooh" answered the triumphant
lady, your mamma has everything she
wants in Heaven"
The child smiled Then guess I'll
wait till get there, toe" she said, and
lay down again
The shawl twitched in Anne Whitta-
ker's hands; she longed to gather the
forlorn little figure into her arp,s, but
she did not feel that she could use

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 awestruck 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.
81 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 il, her little clcse~cropped
head against Mrs. Whitaker's spick and
span shams, her small, bare feet pro-
iecting, pink-toed and chill. from the
edge of her carefully drawn-down
nightgown. She folded her hands
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 tieked

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 ioy
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
10 her face.
"Hannah's getting careless" she
said as she stepped into the kitchen.
She sat down moment before the fire
in the darkness then rising, lighted
lamp and went slowly up the stairs to
put away her bonnet and shawl.
