"Now, Tntsy, ilenr, you must ro back. You ought to be tUntikfut thnt you can go buck, instead of Imvintf to sit in n stuffy old schoolroom nil morning, when It's so beautiful out doors, lio, that a good doggie!" And Tatsy turned back obediently. If n little reluctantly, and was soon dash ing about the wet lawn with one of Margery's old rubbers for a playfel low. Margery went skipping on to school rejoicing In the enticing beauty of the April morning. It seemed to her thnt the grass and the bursting lenfbuds on the shrubbery fairly laughed ns she passed them, find as for the robblns and bluebirds, they were actually hil arious In their Joy that spring nnd come. The people she met seemed un usually pleasant looking until sue came to where Central alley met the street. Just as she reached It three boys rushed out, almost colliding with her as they ran, and looking over their shoulders as if they expected some one were following. Margery checked her self to avoid them and then looked In the direction from which they had come. "They've been tensing old Mrs. Laney," she thought, and sure enough, tho old woman stood In her door shak ing her list at the receding boys. While Margery paused the dirty, disheveled old creature stooped and picked tip u battered tin can in which n sickly ger anium had been growing. With tremb ling; fingers she tried to straighten the plant, and it fell over the edge of the pall again, and Margery could see thnt the main stem had been broken off near the root. Then she went on, but some way the Joyousness of tho morn ing seemed dimmed, and if the birds In the mn pie trees aliove her snug as Bayly as ever she Aid not hoar theni. She was thinking of the tumbled old gray head bending over the broken plant. In the school room the girls were gathered in a corner discussing a plan which Margery herself had set on foot, the buying of a palm for their Sunday school teacher by the six girls of tho class to be presented on Easter morn- ing. Several of the girls had brought money and tendered it to Margery, whom they called chairman of the com- mlttee. To their surprise, she refused ipilgfi o o SWEET JESU, the bold ion of the mountain invokes Thee, as Lord of the eternal snows and Sovereign of the lofty peaks. time eyes towards these white plains, that have the likeness of Thy robe, spotless and snowy t Deign, O Lord, to soften the horror for mortals who go through the frozen ways i trad then), protect them in the dangerous paths ; and if any should fall by the way and die, receive him into Thy pitiful arms. Softly spread over him the gentle cold shroud ; and as soon as his soul abandons his earthly body, may he ascend to Cod's throne., O Blessed One, hear my prayer I Look Thou on all the deeds of his life; find out tho noble thoughts that have sprung from his heart, and scatter them like fragrant mountain flowers before the feet of Cod, that, when his spirit reaches the face of the Lord, the Lord may in His Infinite mercy welcome him. . And may the- golden light that crowns the Alps which is an emana tion of the Divine light, enfold him in glorious peace for evert Amen. Ttr.'' to take It, urging her friend, May Gardner, to take it in her place. "Hut why don't you take It, Margery? You started the plan." Margery was silent for a moment trying to gather courage to face the girls' surprise and dlRplensure. "Because," Bhe said at hist, not very bravely, "I can't give anything toward the palm, nnd It wouldn't be fair for me to choose It." The girls were silent for a moment. Then one of them snld, menniugly: "It's a queer way to do, I think, to talk up a plan nnd get people Interested and then back out when It comes to paying your shnro." Margery blushed and the quick an- 1 -Ji-Sli i. CHHIST IN GETHSEMANE." gry tears came into her eyes. May Gardner slipped her arm around her friend's waist, which gave her couruge to answer: "It does look that way, I know, but we agreed to spend only our own money for the palm, and, and I have thought of another way to spend mine." Tho girl who had spoken first turned away. "Miss Andrews will be flat tered when she hears that," she said. Ouee more the tears started In Marg ery's eyes. The bell rang and the group broke up, but May waited to give her friend a sympathetic squeeze und to whisper: "Never mlud, Marge, I know you're all right." On her way to school In the after noon MiiKgery ventured Into the alley und peeped through tho half-opcu door of the shanty. The old woman lay asleep ou a cot. Uu the floor beside her wus a half emptied bottle, and on the window sill stood the poor geran ium tied with a piece of string to a stick to keep It upright. The stein bad been carefully bandaged, but the leaves had wilted and hung limp and dying, I . The school children had become fa- miliar with the sight of Mrs. Laney Intoxicated nnd belligerent, but It Is doubtful If they had ever thought of her as Margery saw her now, a friend less old woman, her poor old body worn with long years of hard. Incessant la bor and her mind weakened by tor row and loss and most of nil by the liquor site had taken to make her for get her hard lot. As Margery went to school her spirits rose. Bhe was say ing to herself: "I'm glad I thought of It The worst wos telling the girls and that's over. Now, I am going to enjoy the rest." Mrs. Lnney was still asleep on Ens ter morning when Margery peeked through the little window, but she had not thought it necessary to lock the door, and, opening It softly, the little girl set Inside a beautiful white hyacinth In a prettily decorated pot. Then she closed the door and rnn out of the nlley ns fast ns she could go. What the old woman did when, on wnklng, she saw the lovely plant Mar gery never knew, but she was quite satisfied that her sacrillce had not been In vain, when next morning she discovered Mrs. Lnney seated In her doorway holding the pot In her lap nnd every now nnd then bending her rough gray head to Inhale Its fragrance. When nt last the waxen bells began to fade the old plant mysteriously dis appeared, nnd in Its place the bewil dered woman found another Just as fresh and fragrant, but this time pink. Again the pink one faded nnd o pur ple flower took its place, until the col ors were exhausted, nnd Margery wn.il substituting a flourishing geranium In plnee of the last one, when she was startled to hear n shrill voice behind her call out: "Thnnks to heaven, I've found ye nt last! And to think the only friend. I have do be one o' thlm school chllder I be eursln' this ninny year! ' The geranium thrived, but Mrs. Lnn ey did not. and before another Enster enme round her hard life wns over. To her little friend she had conlldcd her horror of being burled by the town, and, after consulting with her mother, Margery was able to promise 1 or that she need not dread n pauper's funeral. When Miss Andrews' Easter present wns under discussion that year Marg ery made haste to iinnd her share over the chairman, saying, with n smile ns she did so, "That's so; I won't change my mind this time, girls; there might be another temptation."
