 The meeting of the Singer s Union here Saturday night and Sunday was not so great a success as has been common in the semi annual meetings, only two classes, Green Forest and Center Point. being in attendance. The gather ing was otherwise we'll attended, however, and the two classes par tlcipating rendered some splendid music. The open air meeting Sunday was made somewhat uH- pleasant on account of the wind and excessive dust. Addresses were made Sunday by Oscar Miller, Hon. F. 0. Bntt and Prof. Burney, who never fail to interest when ii comes to speech making In the contest foI the banner in the afternoon, Center Point again won the distinction of berng the best singers. We hope to see more interest infused into the next convention, aud that the next meeting of the singers will be true to the name of the Carroll County Singers Union. The next meeting will be held in May at Coin.

across her breast, closed her eyes, jusl
as she had seen her mother ON that last
day, and waited-waited through the
seconds that the tail 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 shewaited 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 a 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 theworld.
She drove up the driveway to the barn,
lighted the lantern and embarrassed
the horse-the hired man had his Sun
days out; them 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 moment before the fire
in the darkness, then rising. lighted a
lamp aud 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 a shrek, but something
between a moan and sob and put her
hand to her side. But after q still
moment, she went to the bureau, picked
up the lamp in steady hand aud
walked gravely to the bedside, looking
over the little white figure from the
dark, roughened hair to the pink-toed
feet. A hint of smile came to the
corners of her mouth. 20.
Now the child opened her big black
eyes, saw the faint smile and TRANQUILITY
closed them again.
Anne Whitaker frowned. Was it a
trick being played upon her?
@'What are you doing here?" she
demanded, still holding the light and
still peering down into the child's face.
Ruth opened her eyes again with a
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 piteous frown came to the child's
forehead. "Please don't 'sturb me, I

bed the last time Ruth had seen Her
lying dick and still-"and then I'll die
and 60 to Heaven" She rose now and,
stepping to the window, peered be
tween the dusky festoons at the blue
sky, as II 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 60 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 q dough
nut?"
These doughnuts were not for the in
mates of the farm, and 1t was rare
honor to be offered one. For mo-
ment Ruth forgot her errand, it 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 1t; hope it'll be pleasant -
'.What is Eastern" asked Ruth, tim
idly.
ALaw salses! what heather she is, !"
cried the woman.
EASTER" said the girl, oracularly,
balancing doughnut on the end Of her
fork, is 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.
II 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 larder; .'that's the day the dead
shall all rise" f.
The next morning brought Easter, a
fair and 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
searching Ruth discovered in swamp
far from the house, a 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
mamma'd want me to die here" she
murmured, with little sob of disap-
pointment in her voice.

want to dies" she had screwed her eyes
more tightly together this time.
Mrs. Whitaker Strengthened up.
ooh, you do, do you?" then she bent
over the bed. "Have you taken any
thing?" she asked, solicitously.
The child looked at her now. mo,
I didn't have anything that was good
enough. You can get most everything
in Heaven, can't you?'
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.

Then she felt a draft of cold air.
s'I guess there isn't much doubt about
your dying if you lie there with that

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
thin little face and the sad, dark eyes,
and a lump came. into her throat.
'sThey can come in at the door, /
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 to 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 a chair opposite the
bed and studied the little figure per-
plexedly. Suddenly there was move
ment of the small nose, wrinkling of
the smooth eyebrows. and the next
moment the still form was shaken by a
convulsive sneeze.
Mrs. Whitaker sprsnR to her feet.

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 few 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 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-wiAows in a. 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 se-cropped
head against Mrs. Whitaker's spick and

her on its way to the village burying
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
hard1hearted woman. She was only
an indignant land owner who found
her handsome farmhouse almost ruined
for residential and property purposes
by its proximity tothe poor farm. This,
farm. adjoining Mrs. Whitaker's, had
been left to the town Lastly
cts 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 don't care to have them right I'M
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, the
disadvantages of the locality. ;:
Meantime in the poorhouse, next
door, a. little child was sobbing her
heart out in am upper room.
'sYou hadn't oughter have taken her
away before her mother died, if 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 garrett room where a 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
Look here, Ruth, you mustn't cry
any longer" commanded the matron's
daughter.
II want my mother" sobbed the
child. with new courage.
The girl hesitated moment. "Well,
you can't have your mother" she an
-swered at last, frankly, 'she's dead,
and gone to Heaven"
"Oh," said the child, slowly. ''you
didn't tell me. Mamma said she
thought she was going to die, but they
didn't tell me; they just carried me
away"
well, for gracious salkes!" cried the
girl; "you took on SO about her bein'
sick that we had to. You amt goin' to
cry any more: are you?" she added,
coaxingly.
mo, / ain't," answered the child,
gravely.
There, that's a good girl;" the ma
irons daughter rose and gave the dark
locks an affectionate rub. 81 knew you
wasn't goin' to be naughty"
The girl went downstairs and left
Ruth sitting very still upon the box
in the corner and thinking hard, with
her eyes fixed on cobweb just across
the garnet.
'My mamma has died and gone ia
Heaven" the child meditated, solemn.
