Outside the box, these Then words: Easter lily bulb. she knew it was a gift from the minister, and that he wished her dream to come true. What a happy girl slid was? She went to the florists and bad a pot filled with earth, then with careful, loving hands she patted the bulb down safe in its bed of earth and set it swsy far back in a dark, cool closet By and by four tiny green sacks commenced to grow on top that swelled larger and larger, until the green case began to crack and the very night before Easter Jessica had four beautiful sweet white lilies. Now all that remained to fulfil the dream was to carry it to church,' no easy task for a little girl like Jessica, but early In the morning she started out, hugging It close in. two stout, loving little arms, that often ached under their beautiful burden. Once she set it down on the sidewalk to rest her arms. She pulled the paper away from the top and looked into the blossoms They looked to her like beautiful white, gold throated bells. She felt sure they were a set of flower chimes, and w hen the breeze set them swaying gently, she Imagined she could hear the music. But the tapping on the jvlndow poslte was not imagination. Jessica Then she was a little frightened. saw the girl. "Wont you let me look at it, Just a minute? the girl asked. In a thin, high voice.

There was a cry from the girL Oh! granny! hurry! hurry!" and the next minute Jessica found herself In the bare little room, and the lily set on the floor and the poor, misshapen mite of humanity bending In awe over It. Finally she leaned tack In her chair It must with closed eyes and said. be right from heaven! There was a very 'tender smile on Jessicas lips as she leaned over her beloved lily and kissed each blossom, but a tear tricked down into one go'den throated cup. she said, 1 will give it to you, 1 moving it yet nearer the girl. as he here see will quick it God guess would In church.

Yet his words were meaningless, cold and empty in the ears of the sad, black-robewoman who sought in vain tor consolation. Were they Indeed those mansions of God of which the rector spoke? Had these people found them? Why, then, were toey barred to her? Ah, in her bitterness, she doubted If she really cared for Bitch Joys. All she yearned for was the one tender, human smile which tuey told her was forever banished. Her heart rose up in a spasm of rebellion. It could not be true that anything so good was Irrevocably gone. Christ is risen Is risen from the dead! sang the choir; but the sad and lonely woman turned and left the church. That afternoon she walked along country roads, through tne delicious oaois of the spring-filleair. As she trod the brown meadows the sky was aglow with the dulling gold of tae sunshine and the wind bore to her the scent of fresh hyacinths. Still she wandered on, unheeding, absoroed in tae bitterness of her own heart, until she saw before her a country churchyard, where a woman, black robed, like herself, bent sobbing above a new-magrave.

Your story is also mine. He is dead." They are gone, from us forever," cried the woman at the grave, with a burst of wild weeping. Ah, for one sign of lmmoru...y, for one hope, one dream taat It is not forever tnat they but sleep to live again! And then for both these sorrowing souls was wrought a miracle! Life, for the instant, threw aside its mask of death and revealed Itself hi is serene majesty of reality. The sky became more vivid and opaline; the wind blew more fresaly, bearing a ousand scents; bepaticas were blooming at their feet; a bird soared, singing, from the ground. For the moment they seemed to feel the swirl of the earth on ttg axis, the stars revolving In their spaeres, the mlgaty heave of tne great oceans of life, and knew that there was nothing In time nor space nor existence, but change, motion and vitality. in that .one brief moment they felt and knew the presence of their dead infinitely near and comforting, and were assured beyond all doubt that there was The freer step, the fuller breath, the wide horizons grander view.
