lug of the hose cart as a relief to his
overcharged emotions.
All wns true. Since the day Tom
Brennun tore his manly heart out in
bidding an eternal farewell to the
beautiful girl who renounced him for
her vocation the big fellow had never
Ih'cu the same.
All women were like shadows to him.
He had loved one truly, devotedly, and
he had been forced to give her up to
heaven. He could never love another.
Tom never noticed women. He sim
ply went about his business of saving
property and lives as if there were
nothing else in the universe for a big
handsome; athletic fellow.
Often as he lay In his bunk at the
engine house, as he rode tempestuously
through the crowded streets, as he
fought the flames, he repeated to him
self the last words he bad said to his
beloved: "I love you, Maggie, darlln'.
I would live for you or I would die for
you, and since you bid me tear out my
heart I must do it."
The Easter morning dawned the
very Easter on which Tom had hoped
to lead his sweetheart to the altar. He
thought of her as he roused from his
dreams of her sweet face. Life wns
over for him, ho said. He saw again
the crowded church, the white robed
novices. Ho smclled the Incense, ha
Ueard the roll of the organ, the solemn
voice of the priest. He shivered and,
turning, burled his face in his pillow.
Suddenly the alarm roused him. He
listened. He sprung from his bunk
and a moment later was down the pole
and lu his place on the truck. His
face was like the face of the dead. As
In a dream he heard the cry, "Where
is ft?" and the answer from a dozen
lusty throats, "The convent!"
Tho convent and the orphans' homo
adjoining were nblaze. It wns evident
at a glance that the buildings were
doomed. The main business was to
save the sisters ami the children.
Tho bravery of the nuns and their
proteges was only second to that of
the magnificent fellows who fought for
the lives of these helpless people. Ev
ery one recalls1 the amazing fortitude
and courage displayed at this fright
fill hour.
The children had been well drilled
fhr Just such a moment of peril, and
iiuhly did they now o!ey their Instrur
tors. Suoh deeds of heroism as were
done that bitter morning are never lost
Their memory remains as an eternal
limj liratlon.

mounted the roof of the convent.

faced sister, holding In her arms n tiny
crippled boy. So symbolic whs the al
titude of this holy woman that not one
Irish heart In the vast crowd below
failed to respond.

the mother superior. She knelt upon
the bare ground and crossed herself.

with heroic excitement, reached the

steadfastly at him with her old sweet

she laid the little boy on 1he broad

A mighty shout went up from tho
crowd below. All had seen that sub

New York Herald.
An I Winter SIfmisp,
It was a sad Faster for Mrs. Earn
ham. Three times since, the lilies lasl
blossomed had death come to her house.
Her mother, her husband nnd her boy
had filled her heart. Lacking them, it
was empty, and It. ached with a
strange, perplexed grief, a confused
question as to the purpose of her life,
which now seemed to her a shrunk
and withered thing.
iSho went to church on Faster morn
ing because her beautiful house was in
tolerable to her, rather than because
she expected to find comfort. The
masses of white flowers, with the sug
gestlvencss of their heavy fracrnnce,
carried her back to th funerals of the
last year. The fsmlliar words of the
service sounded like mockery to her.
"Let us keep the feast"; "Even so In
Christ shall all bo made alive"; "Set
jonr affection on things above, not on
things on the earth." One by one she
caught at the phrases, only to find each
was powerless to help her.
The hymn, was no letter:
The strife is o'er, the battle done:
The victory of life is won !
For her the strife was just beginning
and defeat Instead of victory seemed
her fate. She could not lift herself
out of her personal woe far enough to
apply the words to anything but h'-r-self.
She left the church, avoiding speech
with anyone, and with her heart like
Ice In her bosom, she took an electric
car toward her desolate home.
A hatr-Mock before her house was
reached tho car stopped with a sud
denness which startled the passengers
Mrs. Farnham got off thinking that
she would walk the few remaining
steps; but she saw the motorman with
a white face raising a small hoy in
his arms from under the fender of the
car. The little fellow was unconscious,
nnd there was an ugly bruise on his
temple and a deep cut on his neck.
Before Mrs. FArnhain realized what
she was doing tho child was carried
into her house, and she was enlisted
with the doctors in a fight for his life.
For a week the issue was doubtful
Consciousness flickered nnd wavered,
but would not come back. Meantime
Mrs. Farnbara had learned that tho
boy was nobody's child. He had sold
papers since he was hardly more than
u baby. He had lived wherever he
could find a shelter, and eaten what
ever he could get. The fact of home
was something he had never expe
rlenced. The grieving woman forgot
her grief In her devotion to the waif
who hnd been cast at her door by the
strange decree of what we call acci-
dcut.
The day came when the boy's heavy
eyelids lifted, and his childish curiosi
ty at his surroundings unloosed his
tongue. To open to him the doors of
new life was the most wonderful of
Joys for his foster-mother. After his
long silence, it was as if he had come
back from tho dead. That ' he could
talk and laugh and eat and love seemed
like a proof of the power of life over
death. Somehow, Mrs. I"arnhara came
to believe that it was such a proof,
nnd thnt 'it was sent to her In her
desolation.
Out of the boy's almost fatal acci
dent there was wrought for him the
miracle of home and love, and the op
portunity for an educated nnd use
ful manhood; nnd for the grieving
woman the spring-time brought new
hopo as the lonely winter passed. By
God's way, which is not our way,
Easter spoke its old message of new
life. Youth's Companion.

A New York friend of Cutlcura
writes :
"My three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
theAtlantlc, investigated the stateroom
and located a box of graham crackers
and a box of Cutlcura Ointment. When
a search was made for the box. It was
found empty and the kid admitted
that he had eaten the contents of tho
entire box spread on the crackers. It
cured him of a bad cold and L don't

No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of
Cutlcura Ointment Is absolutely pure,

safely eaten by a young child, none but
the most beneficial results can be ex
pected to attend its application to even

Borne Wedding; Rlngr Illatorr
To wedding rings there has been
often attached a value even unto death.
One of the smallest wedding rings
of which there is record was that fitted
to the finger of Mary, daughter of
Henry VIII., who at the age of two
years, was solemnly wedded amid much
pomp and splendor to Francis I. of
France, who had Just attained the dig
nity of six months. Attending the little
bride were her father nnd mother, Hen
ry and Catherine of Aragon, and Marl
of France, mother of the bridegroom.
The bridegroom himself was not pres
ent at the cermony, but his place was
taken by Admiral Bonuivet, who acted
s proxy and placed upon the finger of
i the little princess a tiny -wedding ring.
set with a magnificent diamond. Car
dinal Wolsey performed the ceremony,
at which the whole court was present
Though gold Is the metal generally
accepted for wedding rings, various
other materials have done service in
Its Btead. There is one story of an
eloping bride, for whom a ring wns im
provised from her own leather glove,
the church key has frequently done
similar duty, and brass curtain rlngn
have been mnny times substituted for
a circlet of more valuable material.
By giving his wife n ring, a husband
is supposed to take her fully Into his
confidence. The fact that the left hand
has been chosen to wear it, signifies
that as the left Is weaker than the
right, so Is a wife subject to her hus
band, while the third finger has been
selected because of an old superstition
that from the third finger of the left
hand ruus a vein directly to the heart
Just how the plain gold band came
to be chosen as proper for wedding
rings is not absolutely known. It has
descended to us from early Anglo-Saxon
times and probably was adopted be
cause its simplicity made it most avail
able as a uniform symbol.
BISTER'S TRICK.
But It All f ume Ont Klxht.
How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend Is
an interesting tale :
"I was a coffee fiend a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging to
the poison that stole away my strength.
I mocked at Bust urn nnd would have
none of It.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot I'ostuni for my morn
ing cup of coffee but d d not tell me
what It was. I noticed the richness of
It and remarked that the eort'ee tasted
line, but my sister did not tell me I
was drinking I'ostum for fear I might
not tiike any more.
"She kept the secret and kept giving
me I'os!u;n instead of coffee until I
grew stronger, more tire!iss, got ti bet
ter color In my sallow cheeks nnd a
clearness to my eye. then she told mo
of the health giving, nerve-strengthening
life-saver she had given me In place
of my morning coffee. From that time
I became a disciple of I'ostum and no
words can do justice In telling the good
this cereal drink did me. I will not
try to tell It, for ouly after having
used It can one be convinced of Its
merits."
Ten days' trial shows I'ost urn's
power to rebuild what coffee has de
stroyed. "There's u reason."
