This city is considerably behind the age
in bowling matters, although the game is
much more popular here than formerly.

from the lock brought another frown
to her face.

said. as she stepped into the kitchen.

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 20 her side. But after a still

and go to Heaven" She rose low and,
stepping to the window, peered be-
tween the dusky festoons at the blue
sky, as if she expected to see the angels

At last she went quietly down the
stairs: she must find the flowers first,
and 10 go out of doors by the back way
she must pass through the kitchen.
The girl was at the stow frying dough-
nuts, and looked up as Ruth entered.
"HulIo," she said; have a dough

These Goughnuts were not for the in
mates of the farm. and it was a rare
honor to be offered one. For a mo-
ment Ruth forgot her errand. ii was so
warm and sweet. While she was eat

The next morning brought Easter, n
fair ana glad day for many as well 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 Il swamp
far from the house. a puSsy-willOw
bush. with the catkins clinging gray
and soft 20 the shining brown twi%s.
She picked 4 great bunch of these and

murmured, with a little sob of disap-

when a 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
akcr'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. \ 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 de and be dore v''h it before the
pony's owner should :t'urn.
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 awestruck with their
size and grandeur. and it took her some
time to decide which N was suitable
tor her laying out; but at last she Sc

aloud; she had not seen her mother
carried away in the poorfarm wagon

She climbed solemnly up into the
great high-posted bed. lying quietly in

head against Mrs. Whitaker's spick and
