"Well, it -was ono night last spring. I'd boen writing lcttcrn In my den and . was bored to death. I'd Just broken oft with Howard, and I hadn't any hopes of a caller, for Tom was In Canada nlid Martin was working nights on bin law cases nnd Herbert was out of town and that nlco Mr. Sclbert you klrls Wero alt crazy over" "I wasn't, if you mean mc, Clarice, you horrid thlngl I didn't Ihlnk ho was nlco at all, and I always said ho'd turn but something wo didn't cxpopt." "Well, ho dldx when thoy rrga'tod him for bigamy, tiut, then, that hasn't anything to do i with ktw Jack and, I got engaged. "It wns ono of thoso lovely spring nights, all lilacs and full moon, nnd people out walking, and' I was cooped up la my don all alone, iwlth every blessed man I know out of tho ques tion ,and nobody at homo except Mabel studying her Latin on tho porch. You know my don opens right off tho end' of tho-front-hall,"-- Tho brldo paused. "I'd just fixed, up that don," sho went on, "and I felt so proud of' it that I had everybody como in thoro. So whon I heard somebody mount tho front slops ,na If ho bclongod to the family, and they ' say somothlng to Mabel, I didn't budge. "Whon Mabel.called, 'Somobody you know to see you, Clarice,' I just said, Tell. him to c,omo straight, to tho den.' I thought maybo Martin had got tired of bis law cases and como over for a fow minutes. "Whoevor it wns walked In as .con fldently as If ho'd been to sen mo tho day before. I liked his step. Don't ' you think thoro'a a lot of charnctcr In the ivay peoplo walk?

Ho might hp, al most anybody, but I know ho was nice, lust tho way ho walked add the way ' his volco Bounded. Besides, I was half crazy for some excltomont, nnd I think It was lust direct Inspiration I said softly: x "'Thoro's only "ono man in 'tho world who has a right to do that, and I'd know him among a thousand.' "Whnt do you think of that for nervol But, goodness! I didn't have time to reflect on whnt I'd done. Things happened too fast. "Tho next thing 1 rcmombor Is that J was all bunched up In Jack Phelpa' coat collar and asking him why he'd never written mo from Colorndo all thoso years.

"Ho still thinks I rcmombored His volco and know who hq waa when I sold that ho thinks It's perfectly wonderful, Maybo, whon I'm nn old married woman and Jack's bnldhcndod I'll tell him about It."

"Do you think peoplo' can ever get to the north pole by aviation? "I don't nee why not. Tirn'mmcii.,. pi Ihow who claim to haV reached H, to be all In the air." 5 The Easter 'jj HE festival ot Eaater Is as ancient as tho Oardon of Eden. Tho singing ot carols and decoration of tho churches with flow, era colebrato tho Resur rection ot Christ from I tho dead, but long before in a unristian era ooiu Jow and pagan made a fenst ut this time. Among tho Anglo-Sax ons, tho goddess Eostro. tho deity or spring, was honored whon tho green hcrbngo began to stir in tho fields and forests, and the northward moving sunraya melted tho Ice nnd snow. And tho Romans adopting this god dess called her Aurora, tho divinity of tho dawn and swing. Tho Flro- worshipers on tho unlandB of I'erslu. and northern tribes ovorywhoro, mndi joyrul at tho return of tho sun, whllo tne jawn kept tholr PaBsovor on tho Hth of NlBun, a festival to spring. ThuB thp older religions prepared tho human hearts of lator generations for n faith In tho reaurrectlon ot llfo, and Christians reasoned that if the earth sprang to blossom at tho coming of ho sun, the dead might nrlso from tho grave in spring eternal with th coming of tho Saviour of men. Thu pagan and Jewish feasts wcrq observed about thu time of tho vernal equinox which was foretold by astron pmors. The Kaattf of tho Christian church, being founded on an historical .event, tho arguments In the councils resulted in Its becoming a moveable feast in order to still controversy. Tho Gregorian calendar fixed it as the first Sunday after the 21 at of March, and If, a full moon should happen on that Sunday, Easter- day must be tho Sunday after. Dy this arrangement, Easter does not fall on the day of the Jewish Passover, and is yet influenced ,hy,the Paschal moon. The carolo of the churches wore Joyous. They wove nature study and 4 sag "In the end of the Sabbath, as It had began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene nnd the other Mary to see the 8epulcher." Matthew xxvlll. 1. ' Spiftenard and franKlncense and myrrh. And spices savory and sweet, Thoy brought unto the sopulcher. To lay them at the wounded feet. Their precious gifts their hands between, Thoy came in that first Blaster dawn i And she who was called Magdalene 1 Before the others hastened on. But at the door the spices slipped From hands upraised in reverence, And from the ground, unheeded, dripped SpiKenard, and myrrh, and franhtneense. With finger on her Hps she turned And In a whisper tense with awe. With eye3 that in their rapture burned ' She told the glory that she saw. The tomb aglow with holy light, A radiant one of gentle voice. Whose lustrous wlng3 were Jevel bright. Whose Hps made music thus i "Rejoice I Your hearts no more need shelter fear." ' And one sat where had been His head. Who said to them i "He is not here, For ho has risen, as he sold." Then, turning bach, upon their, way. They set their feeti and then the sun Flung from its arms the Caster day, As bright as was that shining one. And she that was called Magdalene Paused, for before the sepulcher A Illy, stately and serene. New-bloomed, flung bach, the dawn to her. (Copyright, 1910. by W. a.
