of the hose cart as a relief tohis overcharged emotions

All was true Since the day Tom I

Brennan tore his manly heart out inbidding an eternal farewell to thebeautiful girl who renounced him forher vocation the big fellow had neverbeen the same

All women were like shadows to himHe had loved one truly devotedly andhe had been forced to give her up toheaven He could never lovew another

Tom never noticed women He sim-ply

¬

went about his business of savingproperty and lives as if there werenothing else in the universe for a big

engine house as he rode tempestuouslythrough the crowded streets as hefought the flames he repeated to him ¬

self the last words he had g iid to liesI

beloved I love you Maggie darlin-I would live for you or I would die foryou and since you bid me tear out myheart I must do it

over for him he said He saw againthe crowded church the white robednovices He smelled the incense heheard the roll of the organ the solemnvoice of the priest He shivered andturning buried his face in his pillow

SUddenl the alarm roused him Helistened I He sprang from his bunk I

I and a moment later was down the poleI and in his place on the truck His

face was like the face of the dead Asin a dream he heard the cry Where-is It and the answer from a dozenlusty throats The convent

The convent and the orphans homeadjoining were ablaze It was evident-at a glance that the buildings weredoomed The main business was tosave the sisters and the children

The bravfcry of the nuns and theirproteges was only second to that ofthe magnificent fellows who fought for I

the lives of these helpless people Ev¬

ery one recalls the amazing fortitude-and courage displayed at this fright-ful

¬

hourThe children had been well drill ¬

ed for just such a moment of periland nobly did they now obey their in¬

structors Such deeds of heroism aswere done that bitter morning are nev¬

er lost Their memory remain as aneternal inspiration

Tom Brennan thrust a ladder up to awindow of the dormitory just beneath-the huge gilded cross that surmounted-the roof of the convent-

A FALLIBLE CALENDAR-

How a Gourdful of Stones PostponedI Priests Easter

In the Greek church every priest Iscalled a pope This title comes fromthe old Greek papas father a termwhich in the Latin church came to beapplied only to bishops and finally tothe bishop of Rome alone The peas ¬

ants of Bulgaria are mainly of theGreek faith and the village pope Is tothem what M le Cure is to the devoutpeasants of France Consequently hefigures In many of the Bulgarian folk ¬

lore stories and is sometimes even madethe object of a good natured joke Thestory of how a pope lost his Easter isrepeated every Lent

There was a pope once upon a timewho was unable to read and therefore-did not know when Easter was to beKnowing that his people expected himto know it he was greatly disturbed-by the fact and confided his trouble toa friend It is easy enough said thatman to the pope Get you a drygourd put as many pebbles in it asthere are fast days in Lent and whenpeople begin to fast you begin throw-ing

¬

pebbles one little stone each dayWhen the last one is gone the next daywould be Easter sure And judgingfrom the clamor the pebbles make

I

when you shake the gourd you can also I

tell the people whether Easter day is I

far or near added his adviser I

The pope thought the Idea excellent I

and adopted it immediately He gothim a fine gourd counted fiftyfive peb-bles

¬

in it and as the people began tofast he commenced to throw out a peb-ble

¬

every morning as he washed his I

face Whatever he did wherever hewent he carried the gourd along withhim But one evil day the pope fellasleep and some mischievous man who I

had discovered the secret of the gourd I

put in it as many more pebbles as it I

could possibly contain The pope nev ¬

er suspecting anything amiss went onwith his pebble throwing business asbefore Finally the great day came-as some one had read in a book andthe people and all the children dressed-in their new clothes started merrily to-go to church when to everybodysamazement they met their own pastordriving a plow and a yoke of oxenafield I

Father pope exclaimed they doyou mean to plow on Easter day

Easter day I quoth he while shak ¬

ing vigorously his gourd Listen tothe clatter of this accursed squash andthen tell me if there be any hope forEaster either during this year or thenextCbicago Tribune-

An Indian Passion Play-A remarkable Easter celebration is

the Passion plays of the Indians ofthe Schelt tribe on the banks of theFraser river Skwa Vancouver Itsmotive is that of a sincere desire to in ¬

struct the Indians In the grand lessons-of the death of Jesus Father Chirouse a French missionary adopted-the plan as the best to reach mindsthat could not comprehend the full sig¬

nificance of the spoken wordIts first representation in 1899 re¬

sulted in hundreds of conversions Ithas been continued since with the re ¬

sult that Indians of other tribes comefrom a great Distance to see the spec ¬

tacle and in many cases go away be¬

lieversFather Chirouse insists on the most

reverent presentation Three hundredIndians take part in the twelve tableaus First comes the garden of Gethsemane next is the betrayal and then-in order follow Christ before Pilatethe mocking of Christ by the Romansoldiers the famous Ecce Homo and I

all the other incidents until finally theclimax Is reached in the crucifixionBrooklyn Eagle

VEaster Weather Lore

According to an old English proverb 1

a wet Easter is not favorable to theI

consequent crop of hay-A good deal of rain on Easter dayGives a crop of good grass but little good

hayIf the sun shines on Easter morning-

it will according to the same author¬

ity shine again on Whit Sunday A

Sussex piece of weather lore goes fur¬

ther declaring that if the sun shines-on Easter day it will shine a little ev¬

ery day all the year round while thereis a corresponding notion that If it I

rains then it will rain a little if onlya few drops every day during the en ¬

suing yearNew York Herald

Easter Used to Last Eight Days-In the ancient church the celebration

of Easter lasted eight days but afterthe eleventh century the time was lim-

ited¬

to three days and soon again re ¬

duced to two days It was formerly-the favorite time for performing the I

rite of baptism The courts of justicewere closed and alms distributed tothe poor and needy who were evenfeasted in the churches Slaves wereset free and as the fasting of Lentwas over the people gave themselves I

up to every enjoyment
