Easter fires, established In honor Of
the sun, form q feature Of Easter OBJ
servance In some parts Of Great Brit
ain, where bonfires are quite common
in early spring. Emgies Of Judas were
annually burned in Athens on Easter
Sunday until the government prohibit
ed it. Wooden figures called Judas
are quite frequently burned, however,
the IRE itself receiving the traitors
name.
Frazer in '"The Golden Bough"
states that about 100 years ago the
custom at Althenneberg. in upper Ba-
varia, was as follows: On the afternoon
Of Easter Saturday boys collected wood,
which they piled in 4 cornfeld, while
in the middle Of the pile they set up
tall wooden cross all swathed in
straw. After the evening service they
lighted lanterns at the consecrated can
die in the church and ran with them
at full speed to the pyre. The first to
arrive set fre to the heap. No woman
or girl might come near the bonfire,
but both could watch 1t from . dis
tance. As the flames rose the mon and
lads shouted. I'VE are burning the
Judas"
The name Easter is Of Saxon ORIGIN
and refers to the goddess Eastre, to
whom sacrifices were offered at the be-
ginning Of spring. The German name
for Easter refers to the same goddess,
whom some writer's have traced back
to Ishtar, the Babylonian queen of
heaven" in whose honor spring festi-
walls we're inaugurated.
EARLY CUSTOMS
The earlier celebration Of Easter was
preceded by fasting and vigils, ending
at daybreak or cockcrowing (the hour
at which Christ is supposed to have
arisen). when the long vigils were bro

what q little goose the girl Is to put

Just as he was about TO advance up
on Leonard the gate OF the vault open
ed. and figure dashed out and away
with the rapidity Of lightning.
The ghost. after stopping to look at
the flying figure, renewed Its walk and
its groans.
IL don't propose to come out at tine
tail of this business" Ernest said.
1--WE agreed to occupy the vault, and
I can't sleep with that fellow making
those unearthly grOans all night. Ell
ther he or ! must move on"
Leonard suddenly received blow In
the back which landed him a dozen
feet away on the gravel walk. Before
he could get up he was knocked down
again and again till finally, regaining
his feet, he fled precipitately.
'Now ! think l will turn in." said
Ernest, and. going to the vault. he en-
tered and. spreading on the floor the
blankets he had brought with him.
sprawled himself on them and was
soon sound asleep.
Marion arose early and went to the
cemetery. Her heart was beating very
| fast with expectation. and she was i'm
patient to know whether the splendid
John KnowltOn had proved himself Il
brave man. AS she approached the
vault and saw no one walking before 1t
she knew that Leonard at least had not
won. Going nearer. she stopped and
listened. There was the sound of
prodigious snore. Surely that came
from the powerful lungs of Knowlton.
Then she looked in between the bars,
and there was Ernest stretched out
fast asleep.
The man who had won her had re-
linquished her before doing so.
Ernest! Ernest! Ernest" she call
ed, raising her voice with each call.
Ernest awoke, yawned and saw the
face peeping through the bars.
What do you mean by waking fcl.

And he turned over for another nap.

Ernest" she said after a pause, did
you really mean to give me up last
night?"
"Yes. How do know but you would
want me to come out here and sleep
after we were married? I prefer

Marion determined that she would
marry Ernest Trevor willy nilly, and
she did.

Palm Sunday, the Sunday preceding
Easter, is the sixth Sunday in Lent

memorates Christ's triumphal entry
into Jerusalem and has been observed
in the eastern church since the fourth
century and in the western church
since the fifth century. Formal pro-
cessfons, fnaugurated in the latter part
OF the sixth century, have been retain
ed on this day by the Roman Catho-
lie and Greek churches. Many Anglican
churches revived the old custom of
blessing and distributing palm and 9TH
er branches. The practice of carrying
these Palm Sunday branches Of will
low or other trees continued in many
places in England after the reformation,
Palm Sunday is called Olive Sunday
IN Italy, Flower Sunday In Wales and
Hosanna Sunday in parts of eastern
Europe.
