could see but one person; a boy Of
thirteen or fourteen who looked
through crack in a board fence,
steadfastly keeping an eye to this aper-
ture, and as continuously calling
through 1t, holding his head to one
level for this purpose, but at the same
time dancing-and dancing tauntingly,
1t was conveyed-with the other parts
Of his body. His voice was now sweet,
now piercing, and again far too
dulcet with the overkindness Of bur
lesque; and If, as 1t seemed, he
was unburdening his spleen, his spleen
was powerful one, and gorged. He
appeared to be in torment Of tor
menting; and his success was proved
by the pounding Of bricks, and rocks
of size, upon the other side Of the

Lines of Chinese, clad in garments
ranging from the frock coat and "tile''
of western DECENTRALIZATION to the
gorgeous silks of the Orient, marched
last Easter Sunday in great religious
procession through San Franclsco's
Chinatown. The pageant and process
sion were followed by union services.
Baptist, Methodist, Congregational,
Presbyterian and Episcopalian church
missions in Chinatown organized the
celebration.
A feature Of the day was the choral
singing by young Chinese girls.

went on, deprecatingly, "that haven't
seen the church yet. ought to 60
there first and look around"
| "Of course we will take you there
this afternoon" volunteered the minis

"And you can have my horse an
wagon every afternoon" added Mrs.
Perry, warmly, "an' my boy Tommy to
drive and help"
ut will be beautiful" Mrs. Bray
murmured-"llke the world seemed
when l was young" She was not
thinking Of the decoration now, but
of the beautiful thing Of not being for
gotten that had come so Unexpectedly
to her. The minister gazed ut her q
moment, and then again turned to the
window.
"There will be no failure in the
church decoration" he remarked aside
to Mrs. Perry.
Nor was there, nor In the beautiful
thing that had come to the little old
woman. During the decorating she
was like a different creature, and her
face came to be scarcely recognizable
as that which had looked so deprecat-
ingly at them that afternoon ut the
poor farm. When 1t was all over the
minister went to her impulsively and
grasped both her hands.
II cannot tell you how much you
have helped me-" he said earnestly.
"The decoration has been q perfect
success, and 1t is all owing to you.
But there Is another thing l wish to
speak about. My housekeeper is about
to leave, and need some one to take
her place. VIII you come and look
after the parsonage-and me, too, for
that matter?' with one Of his frank,
boyish smiles. "My mother always
said wasn't capable of looking after
my clothes and such things. 1 will
try not to tax you too severely"
So the beautiful thing which had
come to her was not Of day, but was
to last through all the remainder of
her years.

The next afternoon the minister's
blackboard stopped in front of the
paupers' home. Several men and boys
We're slouching about the yard, and on
bench near the door were four or
five old women. Mrs. Perry glanced
there.
''Not one. o. them," she said; "Cyn-
thia wouldn't grow to look like that. !"
In answer to their knock harsh

with a deprecatory manner slipped
softly into the room.

But even as he reached this apex,
the head, shoulders and arms Of Her

the fence across the alley, behind the

implacably resentful, and SO was the
gesture with which he hurled an OBJ
tect at the comedian pre-occupied with
the opposite fence. This object upon
reaching its goal, as it did with more
a splash than thud, was revealed as
a tomato, presumably in useless
state. The taunter screamed in aston
ishment, and after looking vainly for
an assailant, began necessarily to re-
move his collar, as Noble went on his
way.

Noble fourished down the street there
appeared wan face at q prison wiu-
dow and the large eyes looked out
upon him wistfully. But Noble went
on, as unwilling that he had to do
with this. prison as he was that he
had to do with Master Torbin's to-
mnto.
The face at the window was not like
Charlotte Corday's, nor was the win
dow barred, though the prisoner knew
solace in wondering IL she did not sug-
gest that famous picture. For all pur-
poses, except during school hours, the
room was certainly a cell; and the
term Of Imprisonment was set at three
days. Florence had finally been
obliged to face questions awaiting
her; and It would have been better
for her had she used less Imagination
In answering them.
Yet she was not wholly depressed
as her eyes followed the disappearing
figure Of Noble Dill from over the
fence II the yard whence she had
ventured for a better view Of Noble,
thereby risking q heavier sentence.
Noble passed from her sight, but
nevertheless continued his radiant
progress down Julia's street. Life
stretched before him, serene, ineffably
fragrant, unending. He saw it as a
hower-strewn sequence Of calls on
Julia, walks Win Julia, talks with
Julia by the library fire. Old Mr..
Atwater was to be away four days
longer, and Julia, that great-hearted
bride-not-to-be had given him her
promise and sacred word.
Blushing, indeed diyinely, she had
promised him, upon her sacred word,
never, so long as she lived, to be en-.
gagged to anybody at all. n

you help me?"
The old woman, who had not had
caller in five years, looked from one
to the other with a sudden yearning in
her tender old eyes.

anything to decorate WITH" she said.

Her hands were still trembling, but
into her eyes was coming an express

have belonged to her old days.
"Do you mean for me to take charge
of the decorating?" she asked.
Eyes, but of course with plenty of
help. l don't know much about ar

He turned hastily and glanced
through the window. Something In
the rapturous expression on the old
woman's face made him lose command
Of himself for moment.

A new minister had come to slow

and with his coming had appeared a
spirit of change and improvement.
Among other innovations was the
Easter sermon and church decoration.
The new minister made the announce

hoped all would be present, and that
the ladies of the church would ar

decoration.
