ringing peal upon peal to announce
the heavenly tidings Of resurrection.

steps between the two great doors,

And he was quite alone. He had out.
lived love and friendship, he had out
lived the joy Of life, he had outlived
even the desire for knowledge.
He wandered into the church away
from the night, and fell upon his knees
before the image, standing In the
niche, Of the Mother Of Sorrows, who
held her hands against her bare heart
which bled great tears Of blood.
In his madness the old man whis.
pered to her, "0h Mother, Mother,
give me my youth"
There was a movement in the paint
ed lips and gentle voice spoke from
l them.

that thou wouldst have given back to
thee thy YOUTH"
"Oh, Mother, Holy Mother, thou

Sons sake, who rose this day."

It was, with the Joy Of youth, and the

thing was different! His slumber was
still heavy upon him, he passed bis
hand slowly down his face. The wrin-
kles had disappeared, the skin was
smooth and soft. He took in bis fin
gers a lock Of his hair; he saw that 1t
was rich brown and hung in luxuriant
curls about his shoulders. He stretched
out a hand; It was round and strong
and beautiful.
He sprang to his feet and hurried
from the church, his steps showing
the glorious vlgor Of youth. Arrived
in the street he was momentarily be-
wildered, then mysterious influence
stronger than himself lmpelled him to
walk through the narrow streets till

Mohammedans and Christians Unite
In Rejoicing.

Mohammedans and Christians Unite
In Rejoicing.
Wonderful to the western eyes are
the Easter celebrations at Jerusalem.
Nowhere else on earth Is the festival
commemorated with greater pomp
and enthusiasm, by Jew as well as
Mohammedan and Christian.
For weeks pilgrims from both
Greek and Latin churches pour into
Jerusalem from every part Of the
globe. Every dwelling place is crowd
cd to Its utmost. and far out on the
western slope Of Mt. 0livet may be
seen innumerable white tents.
On the Wednesday before Easter
one is awakened by the bleating OF
lambs half strangled with the white
alkaline dust Of Jerusalem. The shep.
herds are loud and quarrelsome,
fighting for the best places. Thou
sands are there already, and thou
sands are on their weary way, for 1t Is
"a sheep to man."
On this day both rich and poor must
buy a sheep for the sacrifice on
Thursday, when the sheep must be
killed and eaten, yet no man may eat
his own sacrifice. Every mans table
is supplied at his neighbor's expense
Thursday is a day Of footwashing.
The ceremony is performed by priests
arrayed in dazzling robes of jewels
and gold embroidery. Friday is day
of professions, when all the youth of
the city, in superb robes and on horse
back, turn out.
On the night Of Good Friday may
be seen at least 10000 pilgrims stand.
ing or kneeling on the stone floors and
benches-silent, prayerful and i'm.
movable-waiting for the dawn. All
the night the street resounds with the
Resurrection Hymn" which on Eas-
ter Is changed to the crowning glory
of the Greek Easter, Christ Is
Risen"
One of the odd features Of the Eas.
ter celebration at Jerusalem Is the
part that the Mohammedan takes in
1t. 1t is well known that the Moham-
medan does not believe in the resur-
rection of Christ but they look upon
him as o prophet, as follower of the
great Mahomet The sacredness with
which, as subjects Of the Sultan Of
Turkey, they guard the tomb Of
Christ and the spot whereon the
cruclfxion took place is apparent to
all. In fact, thousands upon thou
sands Of Turks have died in defense
of the cross and the tomb, and to-
day they look upon Christ as the
greatest prophet next to Mahomet.
They join in the Easter celebra-
they visit the sacred spots that fig
ured in the life Of Christ with a pious
regularity that is not surpassed by
the Christians.

and they walked beneath the trees
just bursting into bud, talking gently
of the days they had spent together
as children; then they grew tired and
sat in the summer house. And now
Hugh felt that his eyes were insuill-
cient to tell his love, and he began
tremblingly to express himself in
words. He remembered the first kiss
he had ever given her as distinctly as
II 1t had only been yesterday. He
painted with excitement as he took her
hand; she blushed like rose, but
resisted not; he drew her to him and
placed his arms around her, and gave
her the long, sweet kiss which had
remained on his lips forever. Oh,
Blessed Virgin, this was not the kiss
he had dreamed Of! The woman was
there, smiling and blushing as Of yore,
but the kiss was not the same; so
cold, so passlonless, beside the one Of
his Imagination! He looked into her
face, and then-Oh, the horror Of 1t!
