TOM OTi9indlcO.
During the crusades lady living in
castle along the line of march re-
ceived some chickens from a man re-
turning from the east. They were a
great curiosity and highly priced by
their gentle owner.
The men OF her family were cru
saders. and their absence was taken
advantage Of by some lawless neigh
bors, who commanded her to abandon
her home and seek refuge in the Black
forest. There she received protection
and kind treatment and lived several
years among very poor peasants. She
had taken her chickens with her and
took great pleasure in giving their
eggs to her poor neighbors.
She was particularly interested in
the children and devoted considerable
time to their instruction She made &
rule TO give present 10 each child
at Easter, but each year she had few
er possessions.
This necessity suggested TO her the
novel idea Of decorating some eggs
with bright colors, and to make them
still more interesting she concealed
them among the dry leaves in the fof-
est. The children were sent to hunt
them and were greatly astonished AID
delighted to find the colored eggs
