From
A stretch of axure sky, changing to
the opal tints of evening; a smiling ex­
panse of sea, with a long line of curling
breakers lashing the sandy beach—
that is what Rosa might have seen as
she stood by the calla lily hedge, with
the faint breeze stirring the magnolia
bloeaoma.
Yet it is doubtful if she saw any­
thing. Her eyes held a dreamy far­
away look, and the waving green
branches outlined
like
lacework
against the evening sky, the wind-
ruffled stretch of sea and the scent of
the wilderness of bloom were lost up­
on her.
In her arms was a profusion of lil­
ies, spray upon spray, almost more than
her slender arms could carry, for the
morrow was Easter day. Tall and stat­
ely as a lily herself, Rosa stood, lost
in meditation, her face scarcely less
fair and pure than the waxen blossoms,
and as colorless, save for the scarlet
mouth with its haughty curves. A
pure, proud face waa hers, and cold as
the white mist that, like a dim
squadron, waa stealthily marching in
from the sea.
On the still, languorous air, suddenly
a clear, sweet note rang out—the
chimes of the old mission bells, . The
sacred music reached Rosa's ears.
arousing her from her reverie, Dis-
engaging one slender hand she made
tlie sign of the cross; her lips moved
silently.
There was a sound near at hand of
slow, halting footsteps. A man, young,
but of haggard countenance, was ap­
proaching under the shadow of the
acacias.
But Rosa only heard the vesper
chimes.
Nearer the man drew until he stood
humbly before her, hla head bared,
his shabby hat in his trembling hand.
He raised his eyes, full of dumb wist­
fulness to her face. The passionate
love and despair of a tortured soul was
in them. He stood motionless, as on
awaiting his sentence.
Sweet and high the chimes of the
bells arose and fell. Something like
a sob escaped the man’s lips; his thin,
brown fingers worked convulsively.
thy sake that I—’’ he checked himself
suddenly—, “and the salnta alone know
how hard, how unjust," he flashed out.
"hath been my lot. and a man may re­
pent, Rosa.”
"I saw thee drinking in the plaza
but yesterday,” she said coldly, “Is
that thy repentance?"
“It is killing me, adorado, every
hand is against me. I am weak, un­
worthy, but I can forget in no other
way.”
"Thou hast come here against my
command—see that thou dost not re­
peat it,” said Rocr in icy tones. “And
now go, for I vould hasten to the chap­
el to carry my flowers for the chancel."
He raised his eyes imploringly to
her face.
“Madre de Dios. I an» in purga­
tory. Thou art so far above me—like
the saints. Rosa? Rosa! I am unfit
to touch thee—yet, I am going away
forever. Give me one of thy lilies—
only one, carita, because they are, like
thou art, as pure as the angels of God.”
He reached out his hand timidly, but
Rosa drew back as if his touch were
profanation.
"They are sacred lilies,” she said,
coldly. "I have none to spare, They
are for the chancel—to be placed upon
the altar. A thief may not touch
them.”
He winced and shrank away,
He
could not know that her hands were
clenched until the nails made cruel
marks in her tender palms, He only
saw the stern, accusing eyes and heard
the pitiless words that fell, like molten
fire, and scorched themselves into his
soul.
As one who had received a mortal
stab, he turned and walked despondent­
ly away.
the outcast, the despised, the heart­
broken?
Suddenly his eyes caught the white
gleam of waxen blossoms upon his
breast; a great awe entered his face.
"Jesu Maria,” he murmured. "The
lilies of the chancel.”
"Nay, but thine own, Diego mio,"
sobbed Rosa, brokenly. Her arms were
about him, her tears were upon his
face. ’Thine own, adorado,” she whis­
pered tremulously; "all thine—the
lilies of Diego. I have robbed the al­
tar for thy dear sake."
“This is the day of resurrection,”
said the Padre, solemnly.
"Madre de Christo,” the people mut­
tered. “It ie a miracle.”
And it was—a miracle of love.
EASTER AT TUE WHITE HOCSE.
Time Honored Practice of Letting
the Children of Washington Roil
Lggs on President’s Grounds.
Easter Monday in Washington is an
event in the lives of the children which
is ahead of any other day in the year
exepting Christmas and Fourth of July.
Why? Because Easter Monday means
egg-rolling. For many years the little
ones of Washington have congre­
gated by the hundreds and thousands
to roll eggs Easter Monday in tho beau­
tiful grounds surrounding the home of
the President of the nation. There is
no sign to keep off the grass and there
are no restrictions. The children own
the place. The green grass of the
White House lawns is covered with
children, children innumerable, rolling
eggs on the grassy slopes.
It the day is pleasant it is a sight to
be remembered. The children have
been looking forward to the festival for
days and weeks and great has been
their anticipation. But genuine is the
sorrow and many the tears among the
little ones if Easter Sunday should
be cold and rainy with promise of a
bad Monday. Yet no weather has ever
been so bad as to keep everyone away
from the White House grounds on egg­
rolling day. There are many hardy
little spirits who will not be daunted
by snow or cold or rain when it comes
to rolling eggs.
If the day is pleasant and the air
It was Easter day in the land of per­ balmy and tho turf warm and green,
petual bloom, where winter is summer what a time the children have. Such
and summer is paradise. In the early games as they invent to play with their

rolled back to the sea, and the sun, taining infinite amusement

for many days before. If the day is
fair, too, the glorious Marine Band,
the finest band in the country, plays
sweet music, and the children dance
and gambol to its strains. Truly
children's day in Washington.
Wonderfully Colored Eggs.
By 9 o'clock in the morning
grounds are actually taken possession
of by the youngsters, little kids with
wicker baskets and vari-oolored eggs,
wonderful eggs of green and blue and
red and purple and gold and then
eggs of lovely combination, and with
beautiful figures, such as would make
a wise hen cock her head on one side
anil wonder grently what happened
to her plain white eggs.
All sorts and conditions of children
find their way to the President's
grounds to enjoy Easter Monday. Some
of the children are beautifully dressed
in silks and laces and have French
fiurses to watch over them and carry
their eggs for them, while other little
ones are dressed in very shabby gar­
ments with elbows out and toes peep­
ing from their little shoes. They per­
haps have only three or four plainly
colored eggs boiled in a piece of purple
or red calico. No French nurses accomp­
any them, carrying eggs with gilt plc­
ures, but they can roll their eggs and
themselves on the green grass and soil
their frocks and trousers to their
heart’s content, and they will enjoy the
holiday perhaps more than their more
fortunate companions. Usually the
mothers of these little men and women
come with them, tired-faced women
often, looking as though it had been a
long day since they had enjoyed such a
time. Here and there are little groups
of mothers and older sisters, talking to­
gether pleasantly, but keeping watch­
ful eyes to see that the little ones do
not get lost in the crowd or stray too
far away.
Wot Afraid of the Policeman.
It is a good natured crowd. The big
policemen standing around possess no
terror for the little ones on egg-rolling
day. They know that all that big po­
licemen are for on Easter, is to keep
grown up people from Interfering with
the little ones who are rolling eggs.
And when the little people get lost now
and then, the big policemen are there
to take them in charge and tell them
’ not to cry until their mothers and sis-
J ters find them again. Then there are
great rivalries among the children.
Some of them are regular little gamb-
ers.

went out among the crowd of happy
children, and they rolled eggs with the
other children, as common day as their
associates, not tbe children of the
President of the United States, but the
children of an American citizen. Per­
haps a little extra watch was kept over
them, but they didn’t know it and they
thought that Easter Monday was the
happiest day In their little lives.
The Roosevelt children are past the
age of egg-rolling; but they enjoy with
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
watching the gay throng of young­
sters who tittup over the White House
grounds on Easter Mondays.
There was a time however, when the
children of Washington did not roll
eggs on the President’s grounds. Not
that they did not roll eggs though,Ob
no! The have always rolled eggs on
Easter Monday. But they used to roll
them in the Capitol grounds, down the
steep terrace which was on the west
front of the Capital. Then there came
a time when the Capitol grounds were
changed, and a big flight of steps built
where the terrace used to be, and some
dyspeptic in Congress objected to the
children romping on the smooth grass
of the big sward and rolling their eggs.
General Hayes was President then,
and he heard of it, and how dissapoint-
ed the children were because they had
no place to roll their eggs that year,
and the kindly man said: “Why let
them roll their eggs on the White
House grounds and enjoy themselves.”
And thus it has been ever since, from
year to year,

Miss I ' Ilan Malcolm, who it is stated,

that towers three thousand feet in the
air. In making this find she was ac­
companied only by an ludlan half­
breed.
Once Lillian Malcolm, according to
her story, crossed the Chllccot in Al-

aska, alone, in her search for gold.
The railroad had noL been built that
has since minimized the difficulties of
Alaskan travel In the Chllcoot region.
Miss Malcolm declares that the tour of
the Funeral Mountains however was
more hazardous than her lonely jour­
ney through the Chilcoot, years ago.
“No white person has ever visited
the spot «-here I viewed the great cop­
per deposit until I made my way
there,” she said in a recent interview.
“I have never before seen such rugged­
ness in mountains as the Funeral Range
presents. To climb up almost per­
pendicular grades means to slide down
others before the objective point can
be reached. I have been a prospector
for ten years and have passed much of
my time in the mountains of Alaska,
Colorado and other places where there
is gold. The Funeral Range is the
worst of any. I made up my mind that
I would search for gold and copper in
the foothills of the Funeral Mountains.
I was compelled to cross the range to
get where
I wished to go, and al­
though I had no fear, there were mln
utes when, in cllming, I did not dare to
look back, but only kept right on.
"There were many places where a
misstep meant sure death. All there
was to do was to go head. Once started,
there was no way to stop without con­
fessing defeat Finally I found what I
was looking for. At first I could hardly
believe my eyes. I had reached a point
about twenty-five miles from tbe line
of the Clark road and sixteen miles
from the line of the ’Borax Smith*
road, when tbe ledge loomed up im­
mensely.
'"Then I was happy. I have studied
minerology, geology, and other lines
leading to mining, and I have done
assessment work with my own hands
In deep shafts. In short, my exi>erience
has been such that I believe that ' I am
competent to know whether my mln-
eral discoveries are valuable.
“The ledge stands up clearly from
fifty to seventy-five feet, with both
gold and copper in it—but more copper
than gold. Millions maybe there In
easy reach—a quantity that I believe
is almost beyond ordinary computa­
tion. If I am not mistaken the dis­
covery Is valuable not only for Ito
richness but also because It opens up
knowledge of an entirely new copper
belt in the Death Valley.”
Plcturesqueness Is added to Miss
Malcom’s trfp by the fact that the In­
dian halfbreed that she took into the
desert where so many strong men have
died is "Bill Kee,” who is “Scotty's”
friend. This Indian Is* good guide.
Tho next step that Lillian Malcolm
contemplates is that of informing the
railroad builders, now constructing
lines into the mineralized regions of
Nevada, of the topographical features
of the country to be crossed In order
to bring her copper and gold dis­
coveries reasonably within transporta­
tion facilities, and the place that form­
erly required weeks for her to reach,
will soon be made accessible, when the
present railroading surveys are carried
out in rails. There is plenty of timber
