advantage Of by some iawless neigh

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 ueighbors.
She was particularly interested In
the children aud devoted considerable
time to their instruction. She made a
rule to give q present to each child
at Easter. but each year she had few

novel idea of decorating some eggs
with bright colors. and to make them
still more interesting she concealed

delighted to lind the colored eggs.

IT was 10 the year 1873. when the
armies, OF Napoleon were passing over
tie continent Of europe and conquer
int all that. came - their way.
IT was Easter morning. and the sun
shone brightly on FeIdkirch. a little
towb situated on the III river. Just
within the borders OF Austria. The
III flows into the Rhine.
Quite. early on this morning there
suddenly appeared on the heights
above the town TO the west the gilt
tering weapons Of $1,000 French SOL
diers. the division under the command
Of GeneruI Massena., q
There, was q hasty assembling Of
the town council. and it was decided
that deputatto he sent to Massena
with the keys of the town and a petit
ton for mercy. q,
In the midst Of all the confusion Of
the hurrying to. and fro and the anx-
ious consultation the old dean of the
church stood up serene as was the
morning. with no thought OF fear in
his brave Christian heart. -

strength. and it is but weakness. Let
us ring the bells and have service as
usual We will leave our troubles In
the hands OF the Higher Power"
Soon from all the church spires Of
Feldkirch the bells rang out toyously.
The streets became thronged with wor-
shippers on their way to church. Loud
er and more triumphant pealed the
bells as they rang out the glad mes
sage. and the bills. putting on their
new green. echoed back: "Christ IS
risen. He Is risen from the dead.'
The French army heard the sounds
of rejoicing. and Massena concluded
there could he but one reason for it.
He was sure that the Austrian army
had arrived In the night. -
He ordered his men to break up
camp. and almost before the bells had
ceased ringing-long before Easter
services were over-the French army
was in orderly retreat.
By noon not tent. not a soldier.
not a glittering bayonet was to be
seen on the heights above Feldkirch.-

H, how beautiful they were.

window was full Of them. and
not the window only. but the
counter. the shelves that sloped up to
the walls and the floor. so that you
