Pompell, of the New York mounted police squad, and one of the most in-. telligent members of the force, was retired from active service the other day. When the giroke of theauctioneer’s jammer put the big bay out of ser vice, he was saved from the ragman’s cart and night hawk cab by the de votion of his fifteen-year friend and comrade, Mounted Policeman Redmond P.

Yot & I doubtful if she saw any- thing Her eyes held a dreamy far away Jook, and the waving green branches outlined like lacework against the evening sky, the wind- rufliod stretch of sea and the scent of the wilderness of bloom were lost up- ou hes, In ber 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 was hers, and cold as she white mist that, like a dim squadron, was stealthily marching in from the sea, On the still, languorous air, suddenly a clear, sweet note rang out—the shimes of the old mission bells, The sacred music reached Rosa's ears, arousing her from her reverle. Dis- engaging ene slender hand she made the sizgm of the cross; her lips moved silently. There wag 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 Resa only chimes, Nearer the man drew until he stood humbly before her, his head bared, kis shabby hat in hig trembling hand. He raised his eyes, full of dumb wist- fulness to her face. The passionate love and despair of a tortured soul was im them. Me stood metionless, ag on awalting his sentence, Sweet and high the chimes of the bells arose and fell, Something like a sob escaped the man’s lips; his thin, bre wa fingers worked convulsively, fijeard the vesper “hath been my lot, and a man may re- pent, Rosa.” “lI saw thee drinking in the plaza but yesterday,” she sald 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 wav.” “Thou hast come here against my command-see that thou dost not re- peat it,” sald Rosa In icy tones. “And now go, for I would hasten to the chap- el to carry my flowers for the chancel.” He raised hig eyes imploringly to her face, “Madre de Dios. I am in purga- tory. Thon art so far above me-—llke the saints. Rosa! Rosa! 1 am unfit to touch thee—yet, I am going away | forever. Gilv: me one of thy liHes— 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 sald, 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 { their anticipation. “Madre de Christo,” the people mut- tered. “it is a miracle” And it was—a miracle of love, om BASTER AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Time Honorkd Practice of Letting the Children of Washington Roll Eggs on President's Grounds, Easter Monday in Washington is an event in the lives of the children which is ahead of any ether 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- 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,Oh no! The have always rolled eggs on Easter Monday. But they used to roll them in the Capitol grounds, down the gteep 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- gated bythe hundreds and thousands to roll eges Easter Monday in the 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 €gEes on the grassy slopes, If 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 hag been But genuine is the little ones if Easter Sunday should be cold and rainy with promise of a bad Monday, {from the White House grounds on egg- rolling day. There are many hardy little spirits who will not be daunted stab, he turned and walked despondent- ly away. It was Faster day In the land of per- | petual bloom, where winter is summer and summer is paradise. In the early morning, as the gray curtain of fog rolled back to the sea, and the sun, a disk of golden flame, bathed sea and sky In a flood of glory, Rosa wended her way to the chapel to add the last touches to the decorations for the Eas ter service. by snow or cold or rain when it comes to rolling eggs, If the day is pleasant and the air { balmy and the turf warm and green, what a time the children have, Such games as they invent to play with their eges—games of infinite variation con- taining infinite amusement, The grounds look more like a juvenile fair than anything else—an egg fair and the biddy hens around Washington must needs have been very diligent sorrow and many the tears among the!
