She was elegantly dressed, Her form was wrapped in a sealskin cloak and diamionds sparkled in her ears. There was an air of elegance and refine. ment out the woman Josh to open the inner door with more With a gracious ioclination of her head the wo. man entered and took a seat, in the ex- cad of the pew nearest the door, | upon the faded red cushion. This was the first time that Dove Jones been inside of a church for five were no blushes cheeks now such as vied with the holly- hocks in hier mother's garden when she weet away. She had lost her roses with self respect, and had earned dark circles under her hazel cyes, a pallid brown and a disease which the said was valvular disease of the heart. In moments of excitement she was seized with paroxysms which turned her face the color of ashes and made her feel as if steel fingers were squeezing her heart re. lentlessly. And was on her way home to her mother, who lived in the village, to sit by the window where the honeysuckles bloomed in summer and the scent of sweet briar stole in at twilight. While passing the church on her way toward the window seat, she saw the lights in the church windows and heard the deep toned bell, and an impulse which she could not resist prompted her to enter. Many inquiring glances were cast at her, but none recog. nized her now. But many familiar faces met her gaze as she looked around. A few seats in front of her sat the fat grocer, whose dried apples she had so often stolen when om an errand for her mother. In a pew in the church sat the rich banker who went to the city every morning and returned ot night. Ie bad paid for the new baptistry, Dove re- membered. She recalled with a smile that he often prayed in moeting and always repeated the pkrve, “On this, this earthly footstool,” fifteen times in each petition. He put a five dollar nate on the plate every Sunday, sho remem- bered too, as she looked on the top of his head, But in the : which ‘here doctors now she church was dimly lit, two figures, were plainly dressed and gray-haired, They were her father and mother, Her beart leaped in her bosom, There was piration started on her bands and orchend. With trembling flogers she drew out of her pocket a small vial marked ‘Night Blooming Cereus,” faced ten plahred pellets into her shak. og palm, and quickly swallowed them, The effect was magical, In less than two minutes the constriction was gone, Up the side aisle there came a young and boautitul girl. Dove heard a boy across the aisle whisper to his neighbor: “That's the new soprano. Ain't she .

You know Mr. Hopkins, who pays the my throat-—(Dick had passed her a hand- ful of mamhmallows)—you'll see if { don't catch him to-night, The song is a little thing, in four pert; nothing like the ‘Green Hill Far Away,’ or ‘With Verdure Clad,’ but just simple and melo- dious enough to appeil to his limited musical conceptions.

The congregation wers all seated and everybody looked expectantly toward the choir loft as the song above the red curtain. Ina rich soprano the melody floated out into the church freighted with the words: From the transient and the fading, Home flies the dove To the sky no cloud is shading, Howe flies the dove: To the k nged for, happ All the well beloved greeting From the vain and false and flecting Home flies the d | As the mellow cadence the old deacon in the front pew | the time of refreshing had inde y meeling, Ag the delicate shading with a traine “By George!” he red to} "ll have to take lessons of her te A the seat 10 fror Her soul ne in her eyes, and every note and word of the song fell tired heart with the refreshing of min in the face in August, Her lips parted as she refmin, and a upon her pon : | whispered to herself the look of infinite peace ove rapread | Te snd hor head fell u her bands rested there in th and As the. soprano tenor said in a whi “If you don't get the situation, Hop kins'll have to hire Patti Then they fell to whispering softly to | each other. The tenor pinched the so- prano’s cheek playfully, proved him with a glance that was not all reproof. The venerable past Wr arose in pit an his gold spectacles, opened the big Bible on the red velvet cushion at the eighth chapter and the eleventh verse, and read “And the dove came to bin and, lo, mouth was an olive leaf plucked off S0 Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.” "Twas not an exhaustive exegesis that the gray pastor preached.

And while many of the congregation yawned because they had heard the old story | fore, and the boss on the back seat ate peanuts and threw the shells on the floor to make the sexton aagry, Dove sat quietly oa the back seat, in the position she had assumed when the song was { sung, and made no sign that the story of { the olive branch had reached hor ears. { As the pastor closed the Good Book | and resum xd his seat the organist played again. The fat grocer awoke with a start as his wife indicated with her elbow | in his ribs that it was time for him to pass around the contribution box. cents jingled into the box as he passed | slowly down the middie aisle uatil he | came to the seat where Dove was sitting. | He touched her gently with the box to | notify her that she was expected to con- secured it, on Lhe "Wi. | tribute something toward the distressed | | heathen, but she did not respond.

The enncensus of oplaion on | the late Sunday-rehool concert was heard, sot the powibility of giving the pastor a donation was discussed. And when the last lingerer had gone, Josh went around the church turcing out the lights, He wis tired and he wanted to home. As ho camo down the middle aisle he noticed that the woman in the sealskin cloak was still sitting in the back seat. Putting hu great black hand tenderly on her shoulder he said : *'Souse me, missos, aln't it time for {ov to go home!

As he stood beside the bowed figure in the darkened church, Josh realized that there would be mourning { on the morrow for the Dove that had flown. “ » . . * » The tenor was going home with the so- prano. The snow crackled under their feet and the stars twinkled knowingly overhead, As they loitered along the way they softly sang together: Where it never more shall woary, Home flies the dove; Where the day is never drears Home flies the dove: To the rest that is forever, To the love that changes never, From its own no more to sever, Home flies the dove, The congregation lingered on thelr { doorsteps and listened with pleased | looks; but no one realized that the sweet melody wasa requiem.
