away look, and the waving green
branches outlined like lacework
against the evening sky, the wind
ruffied stretch of sea and the scent OF
the wilderness Of bloom were lost up
on her.
In her arms was a 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 lily herself, Rosa stood, lost
in meditation, her face scarcely less
fair and pure than the waxen blossoms,
and as oolorless, save for the scarlet
mouth with its naughty curves. A
pure, proud face was hers, and cold as
the white mist that, like dim
squadron, was stealthily marching in
from the sea.
On the still, dangerous air, suddenly
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, hating 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,
his shabby hat in his trembling hand.
He raised his eyes, full'of dumb visit
fulness to her face. The passionate
love and despair Of tortured soul was
in then. 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.

AS IL from a dream, Rosa started
and turned her sombre eyes upon him.
A swift crimson flooded her face and
suddenly receded, leaving it as white
as the lilies upon her heaving bosom.
"Diege."
The name fell involuntarily from her
unwilling lips.
ut is l, Rosa mia" faltered the man,
huskily.
She raised her head proudly and
stepped back pace; her beautiful
mouth hardened.
He lifted his hand with a swift mo-
ton of pain and arrested the unspoken
words upon her lips.

Down on the beach a crowd had
gathered. Men were running to and
fro. One fastened toward her ON his
way to the town. He was hatless and
disheveled, and, as he drew near, she
saw that his face was CHASTITY.
1T 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 I, 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.

hands that would not recognize defeat;

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 fame, bathed sea and
sky in a flood Of glory, Rosa wendell
her way to the chapel to add the last
touches to the decorations for the Eas-
