The next morning brought Easter, a
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

and soft to the shining brown twigs.
She picked great bunch of these and

she remembered something; her moth

she felt about that. II don't think

murmured, with little sob of disap-
pointment in her. voice.
It was at dusk of that Easter day
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 60 down the
road some time since, and she planned

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

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

DANGER IN THE CHURCH.-The
Baltimore News says that not long
ago an official Bishop was a guest at
a dinner party in Baltimore.
"By the way" said one of the
guests, womann, "do you know that
there are times when it is dangerous
to enter an Episcopal church."
"What is that MADAME" said the
Bishop, with great dignity, straight
ening himself up in his chair.
81 say there are times when it is
positively dangerous to enter the
church," she replied.
THAT cannot be-" said the Bishop.
Pray explain, madam"
"Why," said she, lit is when there
is cannon in the reading desk, big
gun in the pulpit, when the Bishop
is charging the clergy. the choir is
numbering the anthem, and the or
gan'st Is trying to drown the choir"
A hearty laugh went the round of
the table at the Bishops expense, and
he acknowledged that at such a time
he could well imagine it disagreeable,
at least, if not dangerous, to be pres
ent.
