of Reaching Time for

Easter. which is the festival conf
m%emorating the resurrection of Christ.
Is observed IN all Christian churches
There was oncd a dispute between the
Eastern and Western churches as TO
when it should be celebrated. The mass
1T Eastern Christians celebrated the
fourteenth day of the first Jewish
month or moon. Tho Western Chris
tians celebrated it on Sunday after the
fourteenth. The Council OF Nice de-
eided that Easter was to Ice held, not
on "a day Of the month, but on a sun
day. This was to be the nrst Sunday
after the first full moon on or after the
yernal equinox
The name Easter Is derived from =
German word. Ostara, meaning the
goddess Of spring. The imaginative
Germans thought there must be some

TIE C4LI2H, CUPID
AND THE CLOCK,
A Prince In Disguise Proves a
Wise Philosopher.
Rv O. HENRY,

ICopyright, 1906, by Mcclure. Phillips &
Col
Prince Michael of the electorate of
Valleluna sat on his favorite bench in
the park. The GOODNESS Of the Septem-
Ser night quickened the life in him
like a rare tonic wine. The benches
were not filled, for park loungers, with
their stagnant blood, are prompt to
detect and fly home from the crisp
ness of early autumn. The moon was
just clearing the roofs of the range of
dwellings that bounded the quadrangle
on the east.
Children laughed and played about
the fine sprayed fountain. In the
Swallowed spots fauns and hamadry-
ads wooed, unconscious of the gaze of
mortal eyes. A hand organ-Philomel
by the grace of our stage carpenter
Fancy-futed and droned in a side
street.
Around and about the enchanted
boundaries of the little park street cars
spat and mewed and the stilted trains
roared like tigers and lions providing
for a place to enter. And above the
trees shone the great, round, shining
face of an Illuminated clock in the
tower of an antique public building.
Prince Michael's shoes were wrecked
Tar beyond the skill Of the ~carefulest
cobbler. The ragman would have de-
clfned any negotiations concerning his
clothes. The two weeks stnbble on
his face was gray and brown and red
and greenish yellow. as if it had been
made up from individual contributions
from the chorus Of a musical comedy.
No man existed who had money enough
to wear so bad a hat as was Prince
Michael's.
bench and smiled. 1t was a diverting
thought to him that he was wealthy
enough to buy every one of those
close ranged. bulky, window lit
sions that faced him if he chose.
He could have matched gold, equi-
pages, jewels, art treasures, estates and
acres with any Croesus in this proud
city Of Manhattan and scarcely have
entered upon the bulk of his holdings.
He could have sat at table with reign
ing sovereigns.
The social world, the world of art,
the fellowship Of the elect, adulation,
imitation, the homage Of the f~airest,
honors from the highest, praise from
the wisest, fattery, esteem. credit,
pleasure, fame-all the honey Of life
was waiting in the comb in the hive
of the world for Prince Michael of the
electorate Of Valleluna whenever he
might choose to take it. But his choice
was to sit in rags and dinginess on a
bench in a park, for he had tasted of
the fruit CT the tree of life and, finding
1t bitter in his mouth, had stepped out
of Eden for a time to seek distraction
close to the unarmored. beating heart
of the world.
These thoughts strayed dreamily
through the mind Of Prince Michael
as he smiled under the stubble of his
polychromatic beard. x
Lounging thus, clad as he poorest
of mendicants in the parks, he loved
