empty and quiet. Satisfied that all
was as it should be, he went out,
closed and locked the great door and
hurried away.
Down in the basement Louise was
putting the roses in cool corner
when her ear caught the claag Of the
closing door. She sprang up the
steps and ran across the transept and
down the long side-aisle. Painting,
she tried the door, shook it, ratified
the knob, pounded on the panels, but
all in vain. She ran to the tower
door, thinking perhaps to ring the
bell. That, too, was locked. She
thought of the windows, but the
painted saints in the .chancel were,
of course, immovable, and for the
rest the church was lighted from the
clearstory high above her head.
The basement! Surely she could
get out there! Through the deepen
ing shadows she fastened down the
stairs again. Again locked door

with maniac as sole auditor, she
sang as never in her life before.
High and clear her voice rang in
the joyous Easter carols, tender and
rich in the minor strains Of Lenten
hymns. The listener sat motionless
as statue. Sometimes Louise hoped
he slept, and she would pause, but
signs of restlessness ever forced her
to renewed effort. On and on she
sang-hymns, chants and carols,
snatches of oratorios, Scotch ballads,
love lyrics, college songs, and even
hours Of the night dragged by.
When midnight chimed from a
neighboring tower the courageous
singer felt that she had reached cl-

A New Easter

Every call to self-denial is call to a

feed for the sake of obtaining the

hidden a secret of value and growth
which can be realized only through
the dying of the grain in the earth,
so in every fragment of human happi-

a secret of blessing and Of good which
can be brought out only through the

strained her frightened eyes to see
more clearly Was there or was there
not q figure standing back of that
palm group? The electric light on
its high mast sputtered and almost
went out. For moment the whole
church was in shadow. When the
light flashed up again the figure back
of the palms was certainty. Slow
", while Louise felt her blood con-
geal, mans form moved from be-
hind the clustered leaves and slowly
moved across the chancel. Louise sat
motionless and dumb. her eyes fixed
on the advancing figure. OF what use
to scream? Ut what use to fee? She
was a prisoner, powerless to escape,
powerless to. defend herselfl The
man advanced to the chancel steps
and came into the tun radiance of q
broad beam of light. His shadowy
features became suddenly distinct.
Louise saw frightfully SCARED face.
In an agony of horror she recognized
the maniac whom she had seen at
the asylum, and OF whose escape An
toinette had told her.
Scarcely breathing, numb with ter
ror, she saw the dread figure slowly
descend the steps of the chancel and
come down the aisle. Now he was
only four pews awayl Now three!
Now twoi And now-oh, Heaven, be
merciful-he paused at the pew
Louise was in, slowly turned, entered
it and sat down in the outer corner.
For one deadly moment the girls
heart seemed to stop and all turned
black before her eyes. Then the
blood surged back to her brain and
thoughts came quickly, as they do
to one drowning. She remembered
the insane asylum hall, and this dan
gerous maniac sitting mute and mo-
tionless, spellbound by the power of
music.
A slight move made by her strange
seat-mate brought her back to the
present situation. No longer in
crowded brightly lighted hall, but in

The, sexton had undoubtedly gone

whats to pay?" painted the little
sexton. as his short legs tried to keep
pace with his companions long ones.
The patrolman explained that he
had heard somebody singing in the
church. Remembering the escaped
lunatic he had telephoned DR.. Barton,
of the asylum. The doctor had Joined
him. and both had heard the singing,
although it was evidently woman's
voice.
The three men entered the church
by . basement door. The bolt shot
back grudgingly, with q grating sound.
Louise heard it, and duly wondered if
help were at hand. She paused and
listened. Did she hear footsteps in
the lower hall? Suddenly the mad
man by her side half sprang to his
feet and bent threateningly toward
her. Terrified, yet with renewed cour-
age, she opened her lips. The rescuers
on the steps halted in amaze at the
burst Of triumphant melody, while the
maniac, tranquilized, sat back to his
place.
The doctor turned to his aids. "Go
through to the other stairs" he whis-
pered, land up into the vestibule. I'll
wait here till see you at the door.
It's lady that's singing, but my man
is in there beside her."
The men obeyed, feeling their way
through the cellar dusk to the other
end of the church.
"God will hearken, God will save"
sang Louise, all the pathos of prayer
in her voice. AS the words left her
lips the curtain at the transept stair
way was thrust aside, revealing the
figure of the asylum superintendent.
Mechanically she sang on, while DIR.
Barton, his eyes fixed upon his escaped
patient, advanced with measured tread
along the aisle. At sight of him, the
poor, mad creature sprang up. Then
he moved slowly backward, covering
lower and lower as the doctor ap-
preached, till, crouching abjectly at
Louise's feet, he burst into a flood of
tears.
They led him away, still weeping
and humble as little child, while the

had recognized the patrolman and
sexton as they came within her field

the word of command from DIR. Bar
ton and seen the lunatic rise; numbly
she watched until he was led from
her sight. Then, freed from the fear
full tension of the night, weary, ex-
hausted, her head fell backward, and
she lapsed into Inconsistencies.
When, after weeks of illness. Louise
had fought her way back to health and
strength again, it was found that the
strain of those frightful hours had
injured the delicate vocal
chords, and her beautiful voice-was
silenced forever. A fearful sacrifice,
yet one that had not been in vain, for
in those few hours of singing mir
acle had been wrought, and the dis
ordered mechanism of a brain had
found balance. The maniac1 after leav-
ing the church, wept himself into a
quiet sleep, from which he awoke a
maniac no longer, but a sane man,
his mental poise permanently restored
by the magic of voice.-Woman's |
