The man gave. little start. "Why?"
he questioned, not unkindly.
"Oh," said the child, because they

primly and with strangely old air,

Because" replied the child, turning
her eyes resolutely away from the

The man slowly drew his hand out
Of the pocket of his rough frieze coat
and glanced at the silver in his palm.
'You stay here minute, little girl"
he said.
He went into the florists. How

responded.

on the counter.
When he came out with the lilies
in his hand, his quaint little friend
was still fattening her face against
the window. Here, child" he said,

She did not speak at first; but her
thin hands trembled with excitement
as he bent to give the flowers to her.
She took them, and for a moment held
them close against her face. How
good you are!" she said.
Now. I'd better walk along with
you." he said gently, "or some other
thief may modest you"
They came to a tenement, before
which the child paused. This is
where live" she said. PLEASE, sir"
she murmured timidly, will you go up
to our door with me? There Is a
dreadful boy on the fioor below US,
and am afraid he might take my

Together they mounted the dark
stairway. On the third floor there
was sudden rush and whoop; but

fundamental; while around this idea
in Greece, Carthage and Rome cen
tered the most sacred Of rites and
mysteries, Strange and sometimes
horrible in sacrifice were the cere-
monies which ushered in the reborn
world, rituals of worship which
drenched affairs with human blood in
imitation of the god who died that
the world might live. In other places
the great spring festival took the form
of joy transformed into the abandon
of license. But in all these perver-
sions the central idea remained as an
expression of mans attempt to fathom
the secret of the universe and to adj
just his little life to its awful mys-
teries.
We moderns OF today can have no
adequate conception of what the ad-
vent OF spring meant in the child.

conquered the seasons and adapted
ourselves to their changing moods. But
even a few centuries ago. man was al
most hopeless in the grip OF a relent-
less, pitiless rhythm of superfluous
plenty in summer and starvation and
death in winter. 1t was only the
strong and vigorous who survived the
winters fight with hunger. The an
Gent Lent was in very fact a period
OF wailing and lamentation, for at
this time the gods seemed to have
deserted mankind, and the earth H.
self, the great mother goddess of fer

died beneath their feet. The coming

his battle with hunger was over In
the sharp prod of biting hunger which
ancient man viewed as a punishment
inflicted by the gods presiding over
the various aspects of nature and the
seasons can be found the reason for
much that seems strange and mon.
strous to us in the old religions.
Adonis was the god who represent.
ed the yearly decay and revival OF

Even the man--the Ishmaelite, the
jailbird-paused and looked in at the
banks of bloom in the window of a
shop. His somber eyes roamed over
the Haunting tulips, the stately roses,
and rested on a cluster of tiny white
flowers, modestly hiding under their
waxen leaves. Yes, there they we're

murmuring, IAN that's NINE" the
finger shifted, IAN that--oh! an

the cup Of her Joy was overlooking and
pressed her solemn little face closer

ing notes of the flute, with weeping,
lamentations and beating of breasts,
but the next day the dead god was
believed to rise from the dead and
to ascend to heaven in the presence
OF his worshipers, amid hymns of Joy
and glad shouts of "Adonis is risen
from the dead!" 1t is in the worship
of Attis, however, that occurs the
most striking resemblance to many
of the observances of the Christian
Easter Attis was believed to have
been miraculously born of a virgin
mother and like Adonis to have died
a violent death, rising from the dead
at the time OF the spring festival.
Hideous orgiastic rites marked the rit-
ual of Attis worship in Rome. Days
of blood and atonement preceded the
hilarious joy of the great day of res
direction. While devout multitudes
fiocked to the sanctuary, the unsexed
priests of Attis and Cybele, to the
music Of flutes, drums and cymbals,
slashed themselves with knives, and
in wild, frenzied dances splattered the
affairs with dripping blood. The effigy
OF Attis bound to a pine tree played
an important part in the ceremony.
The Day of Blood" witnessed the
period Of mourning over the efigy of
the god which was afterward buried
in sepulcher. The worshipers prayed
and tasted in wailing and lamenta-

mental meal. But when night had
fallen the grief OF the worshipers
turned to ecstatic gladness in the Fes-
tival OF Joy. Suddenly light shone
in the darkness. The tomb was opened
and the temple thrilled to shouts that
told that Attis had risen from the
dead. And as the priest touched the
lips Of the mourners with balm he
softly whispered in their ears the
glad tidings OF salvation. The resur,
rection of Attis was hailed by his
votaries as a divine promise that

a wonderful contralto voice:
I've found a friend in Jesus;
He's everything to me,
He's the fairest of ten thousand TO my
soul.
The Lily OF the Valley,
In Him alone 1 see
All need to cleanse and make me fully
whole.
The martial swing OF the music
rolled up like a battle-cry. Many beat
the measured rhythm upon the stones
of the street with their feet. The
hymn was plainly favorite.
The man with the haggard, blanched
face and the eyes that avoided other
eyes felt something roll down his
cheek. He put up his hand and to his
great surprise brushed away a tear.
He Immediately walked away, Won
dering at himself. He had not wept
in years.
He walked aimlessly on, coming at
last to a public square where benches
were placed. Here he sat down.
Next day he went up and down the
sordid streets looking for work. There
was none for him. BY some mysteri-
Gus power, everyone to whom he ap-
piled was aware that he had just
come from prison. He had often heard
his fellow convicts talk of the hound
ing of the police" He realized that
he was now experiencing that ordeal
He grew more and more bitter as he
met each fresh rebuff. TITS just as they
told me-" he said savagely to him
self; mo place in the world for a
jailbird."
AS day by day went by without any
prospect of better fortunes, his scared
heart grew like granite. He came to
hate everything and everybody; to
realize in the depths of his soul that
he was not only an outcast but an
Ishmaelite, his hand against every
man. He began to wonder how soon
it would be before he would go back.
At least, there he could have shelter
and food. He consoled himself with
the thought that if society refused him
his living the state would not.
He often thought of the other man;
the one who SO glibIy swore him into
prison; who had worked next his desk
in the bank; who knew where the
money went. There had been hours in
his cell when he had said coldly to
himself, when get out"
The sinister thought began now to
haunt him again. II he was to go
back, he said, it might as well be for
murder as for anything else; better,
Mexico Missouri message., 1915-04-01

perhaps; for his misery would be
the sooner over.
So he began now to look in crowds
for a face. He had watched the bank
and discovered that the other man
was no longer there. He said TO him
self that when he found the face he
would follow It. II should not hide
from him, He laughed grizzly at the
idea There were no walls thick
enough, no doors strong enough, to
keep him from his enemy when once
he had found him.

through half-open door, calling ex-
citedly: Papa, Captain Grace, look"
The man caught a glimpse of a
young woman in blue gown, on her
knees scrubbing the floor. Then he
heard mans voice say: Back again,
dear?" And at that voice the heart
of the jailbird trembled in its rock
hewn tomb.
Never the walls so thick, never the
doors so strong as to keep him from
his enemy when once he had found
him! Well, he had unwittingly trailed
him. There he was, in there, alone,
with helpless woman and child. Why
did he hesitate?
Where did you get your howers?"
the voice went on.
"a man bought them for me-" the
child answered. kind man, who
fetched me home. Come I'M" she
called, running back to the door. and
selling the jailbird's hand--"come in
and see my papa" She pulled him
across the threshold. The two men
looked at each other.
The jailbird's first thought was,

with startled eyes, was manifestly

before him.
The sick man put out an implOring
hand. "Tom," he pleaded, Il didn't

The intensity Of her fathers speech,
the pallor Of his face, alarmed the
child, who ran to him and throwing
her arms about him, cried: papa,

The jailbird looked at the trembling

suddenly the stone was rolled away
from the sepulcher of his soul and
an angel sat there.
