With blending grin and snarl, she told what a relief it was to her to be rid of a troublesome parasite. Her black eyes twinkled and glared alternâ€" ately as she surveyed the statuesque listener, whose black gown accentuated her pallor. & The day after the funcral Sara had a call from her ancient aversion, Vidi Van Nest‘s grandâ€"aunt. The sorrowâ€" ing girl‘s inquiries for her friend had been answered by the intelligerce that Vida was visiting relatives in Boston. Sara had no letter from her for more than a month. Rensallaer Morrs‘s name had not been mentioned by either of the friends in half a year. Hastening eagerly down stairs to meet one who must have later tidings of her for whose companionship the orphaned heart was famishing, she was met by a blunt. revelation that would. have driven a weaker woman mad. Mrs, Livingston‘s decline, although unmistakable, was agonizingly slow. When springâ€"time came, she was reâ€" moved by easy stages, to a mountain village in New Mexico, and there spent the long, heartlessly bx'idght summer. In September, Robert Livingston was summoned to see her die. It was midâ€" October when he returned to New York, bringing his dead mother and living sister. ; Away off in the monotonous sunâ€" shine of the Californian town, Sara waited, first hopefully, then patiently, for news of the predicted change, noting reluctantly the growing infreâ€" quency of Morris‘s name in Vida‘s letters, yet never asking a question of how matters were going under. the tender diplomacy of her ambassadress. After six years of knowing and loving her friend, doubt found no lodgement in her thoughts of the leal little fairy. "Only give me a few weeksâ€"maybe amonth or two. ‘Time and I against any othen two.‘ \What.chance has one man, however haughtily obstinate, against usâ€"especially when his own heart is a traitor to his will 1 Between her sobs, clinging to Sara with gushing tears and consoling carâ€" esses, Vida promisedall that was asked â€"_and much ‘besides.

His Easter offlering received at dusk that afternoon, stood upon a marble eoluma near the windowâ€"a great jar, exquisite, in ware and design, in which was set a pot of Margeurites. Hehad not forgotten her old fancy for daisies. He had never surmised that she loved them because they were Vida‘s favorâ€" ite flowers. Some occult force attractâ€" ed her eyes at length from the blazing logs to the pillar gleaming white against the velvet curtain and the canopy of snowy flowers crowning the royal Woreester bowl. \ 1t was a srewsome fantasy for one steeped in the warmth and color of this luxuriqus nook, but it forced itself upon her, a ghastly interlude to the stages of reminiscence.

Mechanicâ€" ‘ally she followed the order of downâ€" sitting and uprising ; she saw nothing but the hundreds of grave, expectant eyes that ssemed to question hers ; a spell, like last night‘s dream, bound sense and thought. Above the mimic meadow of daisies she beheld, with slowly filming eyes, the pleading vision that had bent toward her from the haunted corner last night ; through the longâ€"closed chambers of her heart stole in broken music tones and words to which she had refused to hearken ‘ yesterâ€"even. _ Alert yet serene, happy yet solemn, leaning their cheeks togother as if whispering of the day‘s joyful secret, or looking straight heavenward with wide, innocent eyes, they told the story of the Easterâ€"tide ; of the Christ who had arisen ; of the humanity that is to be redeemed. Except for an altar of lilies arising from the centre of the parterre, the only flowers in the church were mar cuerities. Thus it came about that the brother and sister walked tochurch in company, and sat without other companions in the family pew.
