WALWORTH iH-H"I"I-I"I"H"!i,I,'Ii'I',I,i!,,!,T Copyright, 1914, by American Press Asso ciation. 1 0 Iiulllu, shifting restlessly from one dirty little bare foot to the other, tlie fastidious dolibera tiou of the geutlcuiuu who was selecting nn Easter Illy from Mrs. Jloxer's stock was not only exasiierat iug, it was "touiiuyrut." Uue lily was Just like another. Itutlln stepped boldly between buyer and seller. He lifted a small, freckled face, made bright by :i pair of winning blue eyes. "Mister, I'm lookiu' fur a Job. I'll carry your Illy home for you." The gentleman looked Knlllii over critically. Mrs. Moxer Indorsed the boy. "Oh, you can trust UulT. sir." The geutlemau put his hand into bis pocket. "All right, Chipmunk. A dime. Isn't it?" Rurtiu shook his head. "Not ylt. Wuit till tho goods is delivered. 1 wants a stop over privilege." The gentleman laughed. lie found Hufflu diilightful. "All right, Chip munk." "Well, it's this way, sir. I got n friend. She's my friend all right, but Khe's heap closter of kin to the nngels than she Is to me. She bo'ds at the house where I Jobs. I clean the steps ti ud tako out trash and such. She dou't belong there, but I reck'n she's down on her luck. I was rattlin' out her stove one day last week, and I heard her sort of say to herself, 'Oh, if I only could smell the lilies once ngiiiu It would make me well.' She do look mighty peaked, mister. And I ups and iays, pointlu' to a big book she had "1'lit, CARRY IOCK ML? FOR TOC." open in her lap, 'Is them lilies, Miss (iortrude?" And she says: 'Ascension lilies. Huff. You kiiow what they stand for?' And I had to own up I didn't and then she talked to me like n angel might 'a' talked and told me more about the Bible and Jesus than I bet any of the preachers know. And I thought If she was sick for the amell of the lilies I might help Miss Withers to get well. Is it a go, mister?" "It is a go. Chipmunk. But," he handed Rufflu a cardt "I will be at that nddress before 3 o'clock, and If you fail to show up what must I do about my lily?" Uuflin grinDed confidently. "Send the chief of perllee to Mrs. Blsland's Im'din' house on east Forty-six street and tell him to ask fur James Rufflu Clark:" And he was off. At the street and number engraved on the card n morris chair was pushed nn to n front window by the lily buy er. A quarter to 3 by his watch would the Chipmunk show up? The doorbell rang.- He called to the white capped maid as she passed to open it. "If It Is a boy with a lily, bring him In here." ' Enter Rufflu, crimson from rapid walking, but with the light of triumph In his eyes. "The big clock out yon dor's Jus' Rtrikin' 3. Mr. Marschalk." 'Well, Chipmunk, did your lady friend take a smell of It? Put the flower there on tlint stand In the win dow. And did it make her well?' "I don't know about It niakln' her well. sir. bat she said it . made her chid, and then she bust out cry in'. Wheii I'm glad. I grins. Don't yon'i" "Invariably. Ruflln." Rodin drew a crumpled envelope from the bosom of his faded blouse. "And-yon asked nie her name. sir. They'd Just emptied the waste pa;ur baskets Into the trash barrel in the urea, and this was on top." Mars chalk glanced at the envelope, but de clined it as a possession Miss Ger trude Wllliers. "All right, Chipmunk. Now let's talk about James RuIDu Clark." "Oh. he don't count for nuthln, sir," said Rulliu with an easy laugh, which sobered Into an awestruck expression as an elegant lady with big black eyes Mild snowy while hair entered. Mnrs.halk rose to his feet. "Hel lo, mater; this young gentleman brought out your Easter lily." It was at the luncheon table that Marschalk's mother gave him a mes sage: "I.loyd, Cornelia sent yon word Hint she wanted you to be sure to come to church tomorrow. You know she is directing the music this year. They have secured n wonderful soloist, and your sister wants your opinion of the girl's voice. I think Mr. Daven port, our organist is trying to Interest your sister in this young woman. She is a tine musk-Ian and. having been throwu on her own resources, has con ceived that it is easy to get pupils In New York. At nny rate, Miss Withers is boarding in the same house as Mr. Davenport. Cornelia Is quite stirred np about her." Marschalk passed his cup. "It seems," Mrs. Marschalk pursued, "thut this girl was Joint heir and owner of n very flue cotton plantation near' Chattnnooga with nn older broth er. The older brother must have been a scamp of the first water. He came on to New York, leaving her living on the plantation, where she had always lived. It appears he went it at a pace. Before three years were over he had got this poor girl to give him powers of attorney, and it wns only after he had the decency to dispose of himself that she found out ho had mortgaged the plantation for, more than it was worth, nnd the mortgago was fore closed, leaving her penniless." "You did not happen to hear the brother's name, mother?'' Marschalk asked In a queer voice. . "No, nov the" name of tho man into whoso pocket her hoine pnssed." ; Miirschnlk' was in his mother's pew on that Euster Sunday. lie listened Willi a pleasure that verged upon pain to tho rich yrtung voice that swelled aTiove he jira'ud organ notife In "Con sider the Lines." The voice, was Ol ivine. And her name-was AYIthers: ' Marschalk's mind traveled swiftly backward, to the time when Eugene Withers stood before liini, a wild, di sheveled Imy.' almost pleading for help. Withers had been his roommate and chum at Harvard a wild, reckless, un balanced boy. He got the help ho ask ed for got It time and again until, with patience exhausted, Marschalk had mildly suggested some sort of guarantee or security for the largo sums. It was 'then that the mortgage whs givcii and accepted. A little while longer and Wllliers had sliulllcd oil re ipnnsihiilty with the mortal coll. It was perhaps a week after hearing Unit wonderful voice in church that Marschalk called .on his sister Cornelia. "Well, what progress is your southern friend making In tho matter of pu pils'" he nsked with a nervous laugh. "Boor girl, I pity her'" "Oh. you would Indeed. Lloyd, if you could only see her the gentlest, pret tiest, most patient little thing. Oh, I wish you could see her!" lie did see her. He saw her again and again. Months, had passed when Marschalk. going up the now familiar steN, met .liiidin coming down them. They stood together on Mrs. Blsliliid's stoop. ' Mnrxclinlk extracted a ten dol lar bill from his pocketlsok and held It out to Huilln. "What's that fur. boss?" "For you to get a new suit." "What fur. boss?" "Because yon need It Ruff, and because In n way you were instrumen tal in making me know your friend, Miss Gertrude. She and I are to be married next month, Rnffln, and I don't want you-to disgrace her In church." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE FIRST EASTER DAY. Never so sweet a hush In all Judcan nights, Never so fair a sun Rose o'er Judean heights, Never so hovtfrintr close Did all of heaven lean. As when approached the tomb The weeping Magdalene.

Tho very name by which we know tho day is identical with thut of tho an cient Saxon goddess of spring, Euster or Eostre. The Anglo-Saxon name for April is Easter mouth. Taklug advan tage of the coincidence of the Christian festival in point of time with that of the yearly feast In honor of the Saxon goddess, tho early missionaries gave t Christian meaning to the observance of the day, but It has ever retained Its an ! cient name. Easter was nt one time 1 called the Christian passover, because i the Jewish passover occurs about tho I snme date, and the early converts from Judaism celebrated Easter and ! the passover as ono festival. ! "The prinilUve Christians," we are I told, "when they met on this day sa j luted each other with tho words, I 'Christ is arisen,' to which answer was made, 'Christ Is arisen. Indeed, and : hath appeared unto Simon." This custom Is still observed In the Greek ! church." "Indeed," to quote a forelgu I writer, "all the ceremonies attending the observance of Raster were at first exceedingly simple, but in tho early part of toe fourth cenlttrv a decided change was brought about ' "Constantiue, naturally rain and insrenu, nnti.uotxnuy.-Ointbe churches, but nil over the city, were they placed so that their brilliancy at night should rival the light of day; ' v "Euster Sunday was- observed with most elaborate ceremonies, the pope officiating nt mass, with' every Impos ing accessory that could be devised." Not kneeling In token of humility, but standing erect with onus out stretched and faces looking to heaven to express triumphant pcuce, the early Christians prayed during the fifty dnys , between Easter and PeHteoost, and no j songs but those of joy und gratitude were heard, Between Easter nnd Pen tecost the time was considered the most auspicious in the whole year for lovemaking nnd niari'iugvs, and those. ' two holy days were the best on which : to baptize children. - '. Of nil the Easter customs, that of coloring and making presents of eggs seeui9 the only distinctive one that hns found n place In our time and country. TRUTH THAT EASTER TELLS. F yon look Into tho face of human ity on Easter day nnd listen to Its nccents and watch its movements wherever, the message Of Easter has been spoken yon know that It is Joyful news, good tidings. The pealing bells, the jubilant songs, the churches and the homes bright with the flowers i of spring, the-festive: garments, the I whole costume nnd utterance of Chrls : tendom show that the word bus been i spoken as a word of cheer, a word of j hope, n summons to rejoicing. Is not ' this la Itself a great achievement? To ! fill the heart of the world with a great hope nnd an unselfish joy is not that a ; great good? That Jesus the Christ has done nil this for the world no man can . , deny. j j There; is reason In this rejoicing.' It Is the truth that Easter tells that 1 makes, the whole earth glad. What Is j : this truth? Jt Is the truth that there Is ' ; life beyond the grave. To the perfect j man there Is no death, and In every 1 man there Is n spiritual principle over j which death has no power. This baa been the unquenchable hope of man kind In all the nges, und the resnrrec tlon of Christ gives to this hope a ! great confirmation. Dr. Washington j Gladden In Woman's Iloine Compan ' Ion.

That sen 4inient is rapidly forming in opposition to the abolition of the death penalty in this state, as provided in the Goss bill, passed by tho Inst legislature, and that as a result a bill will be introduced at j I tho 1915 session designed to repeal theT existing statute, is the belief becoming! I prevalent here today among many state officials and others interested in the matter.
