A stretch of azure sky, changing to
the opal tints of evening; a smiling ex-
panse of sea, with long line of curling
breakers lashing the sandy beach
that is what Rosa might have seen as
she stood by the Gala lily hedge, with
the faint breeze stirring the magnolia
blossoms.
Yet 1t is doubtful If she saw any
thing. Her eyes held a dreamy far
away look, and the waving green
branches outlined like laceworlS
against the evening sky, the wind
ruffled stretch of sea and the scent of
the wilderness of bloom were lost up
on her.
In her arms was q profusion of Ill
les, spray upon spray, almost more than
her slender arms could carry, for the
morrow was Easter day. Tall and stat
ely as a lily herself, Rosa stood, lost
in meditation, her face scarcely less
fair and pure than the waxen blossoms,
and as colorless, save for the scarlet
mouth with its naughty curves. A
pure, proud face was hers, and cold as
the white mist that, like a dim
squadron, was stealthily marching in
from the sea.
On the Stlll, ldHSuOTOuS air, Suuueuly
a clear, sweet note rang out-the
chimes of the old mission bells. The
sacred music reached Rosa's ears,
arousing her from her reverie. Dis
engaging one slender hand she made
the sign of the cross; her lips moved
silently.
There was a sound near at hand of
slow, halting footsteps. A man, young,
but of haggard countenance, was ap-
preaching under the shadow of the
acacias.
But Rosa only heard the vesper
chimes.
Nearer the man drew until he stood
humbly before her, his head barred,
Ms shabby hat in his trembling hand.
He raised his eyes, full Of dumb wist-
fulness to her face. The passionate
love and despair of tortured soul was
in them. He stood motionless, as on
awaiting his sentence.
Sweet and high the chimes of the
bells arose and fell. Something like
a sob escaped the mans lips; his thin,
brown fingers worked convulsively.

Down on the beach a crowd had
gathered. Men were running to and
fro. One hastened toward her on his
way to the town. He was hatless and
and, as he drew near, she
saw that his face was CHASTITY.
at is Diego Bernello," he said,
breathlessly. "They have just brought
him in and are carrying him to the
chapel. The Padre is with him, but
nothing can avail him now. He went
out this morning with the fishermen,
and, in coming in, the boat was over
turned. All! but Diego was brave.
Thanks to his courage, all were saved
but himself. Two lives hath he res
cued from death, and /, for one, declare
that it had blotted out his transgres-
sions-"
The speaker broke off abruptly and
caught at Rosa's arm. Her face was
ashen, and he thought she would have
fallen.
With a bitter cry, she broke away
from him and sped toward the crowd
on the beach.
In the old chapel a hard battle was
fought. A battle for life by tireless
hands that would not recognize defeat;
at last when they were despairing, a
shudder ran over the prostrate form.
''The Virgin be praised. He hath
moved" whispered one near him.
"Diego," said a voice. stifed with
sobs.
He opened his eyes feebly and gazed
about him in vague bewilderment

dreamed Il? Why was he in the chapel

Hurt While Stopping Runaway.

Keresey himself bears some scars
gained in the fierce rushes he has
made with Pompeii. Five years ago
his right leg was broken in two places,
and two years ago his neck was
wrenched and his skull nearly smashed
in. Both injuries were received while
with Pompeii's aid he was stopping
dangerous runaways.
Only one man had the heart to bid
against Keresey so he ransomed his
old friend for $50, about twice what
he was worth said the veterinary.
Then Keresey started on a vacation.
When last heard from he was spending
il on q bit of a farm he has at Rye,
N. Y, and with him went Pompeii,
happy in his last transfer.

He raised his eyes imploringly to
her face.

saw the stern, accusing eyes and heard
the pitiless words that fell, like molten
fire, and scorched themselves into his
soul.
AS one who had received a mortal
stab, he turned and walked despondent-
ly away.
1t was Easter day in the land of per-
petual bloom, where winter is summer
and summer is paradise. In the early
morning, as the gray curtain of fog
rolled back to the sea, and the sun,
disk of golden flame, bathed sea and
sky in flood of glory, Rosa wended
her way to the chapel to add the last
touches to the decorations for the Eas-

him Pompeii would listen attentively
to the figures, ponder over them for
a moment, and then announce the
answer by striking the ground with his
left forefoot. If the answer was the
half of something Pompeii indicated it
by bending his foreleg at the knee
and holding it for a moment. His
friends insist that he could tell time by
looking at a watch and announce the
hour and half hour in the same way
as he did his sums.
Playing with the children was by
no means the best part of Pompeii's
service. The records show that he and
his master have stopped more than a
hundred runaways in the last fifteen
years. In several instances lives were
saved. Policeman Keresey and Pom
peii have been almost inseperable ever
since the latter Joined the force. Again

Hurt While Stopping Runaway.
A short time before the arrival of
Prince Henry in New Fork, Pompeii
was badly hurt while stopping a run
away at Seventh avenue and 125th
street. Two days later, while acting
as a guide for the Prince some dirt
got in the wound and blood poisoning
set in. Keresey managed to get placed
on reserve duty and gave all his time
to nursing Pompeii back to health. The
police veterinary condemned the horse
as unfit for duty but Keresey managed
to evade the decision for a few days.
Then Pompeii made a spectacular run
along the avenue and stopped a bad
runaway in such style that nothing
more was said about retirement.
The fatal day was only put off, how
ever, and last month the big bay was
sold at auction at the stables of the
West 152d street station. Keresey was

he could scrape together, determined

Thanks to the Utopiau Club.

The Utopian club has offered to fur
nish room at the Mary Davis Sun
shine lodge and Sunshine is deeply
grateful. The room will be known as
the Utopian room. Several Of the
branches will furnish each a room and

there will be no difficulty in furnishing
both cottages and securing the neces-
The society will be glad of any help
from the various women's clubs, both
Minneapolis and St. Paul. The rooms
are to be furnished simply but neatly,
and the furniture does not necessarily
have to be new, but it must be in
good condition. In the large rooms it
Is planned to have at least one double
iron bed and single bed, strips of
carpet or small rugs, a simple dresser
and washstand and a few chairs and
curtains are all that are absolutely
necessary. Anything else that may be
added to make the rooms more at
tractive will be at the donor s pleasure.
The society has very little furniture of
its own as the cottages at Lindstrom
were partially furnished and so will
deeply appreciate any help in the way
of furniture, bed linen, towels, etc. =
The cottages will always be open to
visitors and the society hopes that all
who are interested may be able to
visit the lodge during the season and
see for themselves how much happiness
the work brings into the lives Of tired,
Woodworking women and their children.

Mrs Grace Tubbs, the first vice
president of the Sunshine society, who
Is now in the east. has sent check
to Sunshine to bring good cheer to
someone in memory of the birthday of
her mother, Mrs. Mary Wilson, who
died last fall. Mrs. Tubbs felt that
the birthday remembrance that she had
always given her mother might now
bring sunshine to some one else. Sun

The Mary Davis Sunshine Lodge.

Work has begun on the new cottage
of Mary Davis Sunshine lodge and the
cottages are expected to be ready for
occupancy by June 1.
Instead Of costing something like
$4,000 as first expected, the completed
lodge will cost nearly $4,000, but Miss
Davis generosity seems unbounded and
tlonal expense was not to stand in the
way of making the new lodge suitable
in every way for the work of the
society.
The cottages will be eight feet apart
to allow for light and air and the
screened covered porch which connects
the two will be sixty feet long The
cottages will be painted a pretty vel
low with white trimmings, and the roof
q very dark red. There will be a
woodshed, q. we'll and goodsized
bathhouse of two rooms. One Of the
pleasantest rooms in the lodge will be
way, CRATE and six windows. The din.
ing-room will be 20x14 feet, and will
also be bright and CHEEKY, opening on
a wide screened porch.

ciety will carry on in their town and
many kindnesses have been shown.
Mr.. Henderson, a well-known st. Paul
lawyer, who makes his home in Forest
Lake, has kindly offered to take charge
of the building of the cottage and it
will not be necessary for Judge Collins
Or the officers personally to look after
the matter. The contractor, a Forest

tor, and the board of county
commissioners the Sunshine society has
at its disposal room in the court
house. on the second floor, opposite the
room of the secretary of the Humane
society.
The society will move into it's new
quarters Monday and the officers will
meet Tuesday to plan the summer
work.
Sunshine is rejoicing greatly that it
is to be relieved of the burden of $l2
month for office rent, which it has
been paying for the past two years.
This means $12 more a month to give
sunshine to some needy ones. Hereto
fore the rent has been raised thru the
help of two branches, the Crawford
and the Coreopsis, and entertainments
and bazaars and it has been a hard
on the society and 50 many ways for
the money to be used.
Now all this worry has been taken
away, a beautiful new outing home has
been made. and altogether Sunshiners
feel very happy and grateful, believ-
ing that nothing now can check the
development and growth of the work

Sunshine Invalid Better.

Those who so generously responded to
the appeal for $50 for the man who was
Ill with blood poisoning, will be glad
to know that he is very much better
and is able to work a few days at a
time, tho not yet sufficiently strong to
work continuously. He has quite plat
of ground around his home and his
physician has advised him to have a
garden and do outdoor work entirely
for year at least, until he fully re-
covers. He hopes to sell fresh vegeta
bles, chickens, ETC., to make a living
for his family. When the garden stuff
Is ready to market he will need a
horse and if any one has q family
horse to lend dur ing an absence this
summer, Sunshine is sure that this man
will give it the kindest of treatment
and the best of care.
Without a horse it will be impossible
for him to market much Of his fresh
garden stuff and he will greatly appre-
ciate the loan for he can not buy a
