were ringing with gladnees far Raster
morning, and the children were carry
ing flower to rhuroh. Margaret en
tered softly and took her old place In
the dim corner, foiling the window pic
tured with tho story of Mary in tho
garden. How good It seemed to bo
there!
The altar cloth was gllstenlog white,
the dim aisles were sweet with the '
perfume of Illlea that Oiled the ohansel,
a lew silent worshipers knelt at their j
prayers, and Margaret bowed her own
head with thoughts as pure and sweet
with gratitude as the breath ot the 1
Oowert
Now as she knelt In the quiet ot that
holy place, Margaret wondered to hear
with the dilating bell, soft silvery
strain of tnuslr, such a were n-ver
heard In (he little church before, nnd
In feol the touch of n gentle hand laid

"Mny I enter Hit -'eh garden?"
Margaret aahed of hereelf. thinking of

to hide In the dim corner of the aisle.
Hut a Margaret, doubting, asked this
question, the sun shining upon her
dross, showed It to he glistening white
a h the altnr cloih and the lilies In the
chancel. In her confusion the girl put
her linndH to hor eye to sen If ahe
ware awake or dreaming, but ovary

Tho broad si ream of Ugh, now tip

"Mnrgnrot. dear little sister! Wo

music far hor delight nnd showed her
