OF meadow lark. the fainter song of
a mocker, as he gave the gossip of the
bird world from the topmost tip of a
eucalyptus tree; and always the hum
of the bees, so persistent that drowsi-
ness came with 1t. Also she saw the
low, spreading house, with its pillared
verandas, rose-embowered, beautiful
home, hers and-his. His. Her slow
mind stopped again. Hers and his for
all time-"till death do us part"-''for
better. for worse"-'in sickness or
health to love and
honor and cherish" Yes,
to cherish. So they had PROM
ised-they two, standing alone
together, in all the solemnity Of
the marriage rites. But somehow the
sweetness had gone out Of it all; the
love; or was it the comradeship? And
who to blame? Not he. No, not he.
Herself? She shook her head uncer-
tainly. Mostly 1t was duties" she
said. Oh, yes, all of ones duties to so.
ciety-church duties; club duties; So
cial duties; and she shivered. Here
they all were, in pointed caps, with
little silver spurs on their feet, with
which, when she Jagged, they prodded
her, with these and pointed tongues
of uncharitableness. Presently be-
hind them all she saw the figure Of
her husband, his eyes upon her low
ingly; but ever and again they turned
sorrowfully upon the group about her,
and as often as he would approach
her, she was pushed back; he could
not reach her for the barrier of Du-
ties which stood between them.
The woman wept, she tried to brush
them all aside, for to her terror her
husband seemed to recede and recede
| and she was unable to reach him. In
an agony of remorse and grief she
stretched out her arms. Then from
among the Easter lilies came a fairy
shape-a tiny child. A moment 1t
nestled on her breast, then it advanced
and as 1t advanced, the Shapes drew
away, grew fainter. and were gone;
and the tiny thing, leading the man by
one brown finger. brought him to her.
Was 1t only Cupid, the little god Of
love, or was 1t the spirit OF the little
child which some day might come to
| dwell with them? The woman held
out her arms and clasped them both
and held them to her.
| When Mrs. Chester reused herself
| from her swoon, or dream, or what
ever 1t was which held her bound
It was to find her heart throbbine
with new hope and Joy and longing;
and she wondered whether or not she
had dreamed, or had been the priv,
ileged listener to an Easter sermon
preached out of doors by Nature, Ma
ture who was now In her most blessed
mood.
Through the open windows of her
home came low CHEEKY whistle. She
pressed the Easter lilies to her lips
In a passion of Joy. In some way she
felt that she owed them something
a deliverance from something, and in
the depths of her religious soul she
cried: "This is the resurrection and
the life," even as the bells had said
it-while her face was baptized with
tears.
It was so that her husband found
her. on that most blessed Easter day
when the sun stood high over the val
leys. and spring brooded over the
foothill country.--Edna Heald Mccoy

Fresh air seem to be good for mon.
keys as well as for human beings. In
the autumn Of 1906 the Chicago health
commission suggested to the keeper of
the Lincoln park zoo that he put a
pair OF monkeys in the outdoor cage

that was rash experiment, as mon
keys seldom survive single winter In
Chicago. evcr with all the care that
can be given to them; but he pre-
pared the cage for them. The mon
keys not only survived the outdoor
air. but were In better health In the
spring than those kept indoors.

kindliness and care for the animal
world is a characteristic of the ia
panese people. 1t in turn manifests
itself in all of their relations with
their fellow-men; and one of the re-
suits is that the amount of crime COM
mitted there each year in proportion
to the population is but a very small

amount of crime that there is each

of some twenty millions, and only
fraction of what it is in the United
