says she'll wire US on the day he Is to

Skinkie' sat there, enjoying the glorious
morning, there were other creatures en-
| joying it, too; but in their individual
ways. One Of these creatures was
Tommy Grey, Ia fine, stalwart chap of
IL. He was on his way to Easter serv-
ice at the church attended by his par
ents and himself, and he was fully alive
to the splendors of the day. Il never
saw more perfect morning." he mused
as he walked along. And how clear the
air Is, too; so clear and pure that every
tone Of the church bell rings out like q
melody. So often we have rain on Eas-
ter, but this year is happy excep-
tion."
As Tommy thus communed with him
self he did not notice schoolmate by
the name Of Paul Story lettering on the
pavement ahead of him. Not until he
overlook Paul did he realize his pres
ence. Then he greeted him cheerily:
Hello. Paul! Off to church?'
Yes, Tom, I'm going that way, but
not of my own will, 1 can tell you.
This day is too fine to sit in a stufy
church listening to serious sermon.
and I'd rather be out of doors-going
hunting squirrels or rabbits. But mamma
insisted that l must attend Easter serv-
ice this morning, SO here I am church
ward bent But I'd rather take a lick
ing"
We'll, don't understand your feeling"
said Tommy. "Oniy sickness in our fam
lily could keep me from the Easter serv-
Ice, for It is always SO impressive-so
soul-inspiring. always feel the better
for having attended church Of Sunday
morning, especially on Easter Sunday.
And this is divine day, isn't IT."
Yes, too fine to sit indoors even for an
hour" deplored Paul Il say. Tom, sup
pose we walk through the park to church.
We have ample time. The first bell has
just rung, and it's 10 minutes before the
second one will ring. Well have plenty
OF time to take the turn through the
park.''-
Tommy agreed that the walk through
the park would be most enjoyable, and
as they had plenty of time for 1t, con
scented; and together he and Paul turned
their steps toward the city park7a fine
old grove Of a hundred acres, and just

dear mother looked--a flush of pink in
her usually pale cheeks. And her dressl
Papinto could hardly believe size was

Her mother had been wearing a faded
wooden frock almost threadbare In places;
and the baby, too had been SO poorly

Papinto feared to wake her mother lest
the sudden change should prove decep-

Papinto lit candle and asked her
father to look over their thew palace" as
she called their house. And then they
awoke the mother, who was as much
pleased and surprised as was the father.
And after Papinto told them of the fairys
visit they bowed their heads in emotion

hearts. "And now, WIFE" said Papinto's
father to her mother, .well have a fine
