The Most Desirable End. Most people have many things in which they desire to succeed, innocent in themselves except when they inter fere with a higher aim and worthier purpose. It is this conflict of aims, this gradation of duties, that makes life often seem so complex and so difficult. The questions come continually before which I set before me the highest I can reach? Is it not merely adesirable end, !but the most desirable? Is it likely jto lead to still better and worthier j purposes, or is it likely to hide them |from view?” As we answer these ques- j tions to ourselves intelligent) | will become clear, {succeed in each | those limits.

The tall | | oleander, with its long, banana-like | jleaves; the Storm King fuchsia; the | veined, olive leaved and waxen pink | bogonia; the creamy Chinese prim- ;roses; the brilliant and multi-hued: ispikes of spicy geraniums. Most | exquisite of al!, the lilies! Of these, | stately, snow-pure, golden-hearted | things, there were fully two dozen. Many were in full and splendid) ; bloom; others were in bud; but every | one was exquisite, simply that. ~Oh,” cried Mrs. Vandelour, bring- | | gasp of amazement, of delight, “Mrs. | | Delamere did not exaggerate about your Lenten lilies! ' nificent.” They are mag- Mrs. Delamere! Lavender Bassett Mrs. | could hardly repress a smile. ; Delamere was a very wealthy and |fashionable lady who livedin the j pretentious green stone dwelling which over-shadowed hers. She | had ealled on Mrs. Bassett, and been very kind. She went a great deal into society. She had doubtless chanced to meet Mrs. Vandelour, and had mentioned her neighbor's success as a florist. But surely a de- }sire to behold some fine flowers would not account for that lady's | visit. | “They are pretty,” she assented with pardonable pride. “Pretty! They are supurb! I never saw anything like them. Did you Oriole?” Oriole, a stoop-shouldered, _ bill- lious looking girl, over-dressed like her mother, was regarding them with envious eyes. “Never! O mamma, if only—” Her mother sent her a glance of piercing reproof. The time was not yet ripe. | Half an hour passed. The visitors beamed on Lavender Bassett. She calmly and courteously entertained them. She was such a contrast to them. She was so slender, and so graceful—so quiet. Her gown, of some thick, soft black stuff, was fashioned with absolute simplicity, there were a few folds of crape at wrists and throat. Her face remind- ed one of her own precious lilies, so purely pale it was. Her features were delicately regular. Her eyes, | dark-browed and dark-fringed, had the dreamy, attentive, half-brooding look of one who is very near-sighted. And her hair, gleamingly, golden, was at once a crown and an aureole. But her expression was one of sad- ness, the most controlled, intense. A rather curious story, that of Lavender Bassett’s. Married at eighteen to her first and only lover | installed in a charming home of her own, with income sufficient to meet all probabie requirements, she was \the happiest of women. .Two years after her marriage Jack Bassett was obliged to go west to look up some land in which he was interested. He | never returned. Many were the con- | jectures as to his fate. A great deal jof advertising and searching was | done, vainly. Four months after ; his disappearance his girl baby was {born.

Some old transatlantic relative of her husband had died. His estate of stupendus value, was willed to Jack Bassett if he could and would fulfill eratic requests and conditions. In case he was unable or unwilling to do so, the property would pass to another relavive, Hermann Vande- lour. The vanishment of young Bassett, the queer complications now result- ing, and all the singular features of the affair were popular newspaper themes for several months. Then public interest in the matter waned. The case went into the courts, and it was generally conceded that if Jack Bassett did not soon material- Vandelour. But Jack Bassett’s wife | and friends decided that he must be dead. For such steady, home-loving chap as he would willingly remain away from all that was most sacred to him for two years. Thus stood} lours’ visit. As they arose to go the wife of Jack's cousin abruptly made | known the vuse of her unwonted | condesension. “Lavender,” she said, “we are go- ing to have a reception on Easter | Monday, and I'm sure you will let us have your lilic fashionable flowers this year, you} know. The florists$charge so out. | rageously for them. Even the rent- | al of them would be enormous at this particular time.” A brief silence ensued. They are the| Mrs. Van- delour mistock it for consent. “Of course we would send an ex- press wagon for them,” she hurried | | on vivaciously, “and they woul be returned to you in the best of order. They would merely be used for dec- orating the rooms. Those sea-on- ions and that oleander you might} let us have also. They are very ef-| fective. And then it would only be necessary for us to purchase some | cut flowers. But it is the lilies we | particularly require. I do not mind \ saying in confidence to you that Ori- ole, being a debutante this year, it | is all we can manage to keep her| in new gowns and entertain for her. | Of course it will be all different when this lawsuit is decided in Her- mann’s—” She broke off. She had said too much, and she knew it. Over the! sensitive face of little Mrs. Bassett a swift rosy tide went sweeping. The final remark had hurt her, but it had not influenced her. Her mind was quite made up before its utter- ance. “It is impossible,” she said quiet- ly, “forme to grant your requst. You require the lilies for Easter Monday. This is Saturday. By this time to-morrow I shall not havea lily in my possession.” “What!” sharply, “you have sold them in advance?” The rose bloom deepened to car- nation. “No. Ido not sell my flowers. I give them to the sufferers in the| hospitals. And Ihave been saving my lilies to give on Easter Sunday.” “Then,” crid Mrs. Vandelour, in a shrill and angry voice, “I am to un- derstand youprefer beggars to your relations-at-law?” “You are to understand,” averred Mrs. Bassett, with calmness that seemed to be unruffled by the wrath | of her visitors, “that I only give my | flowers to those who are otherwise unable to precure them.” It was with black frowns and in- | jturn home Mrs. Bassett dressed herself somberly as was her wont of late and went early to chureb. On her return she cut her lilies. There were twenty-eight in all—a sheaf of marvelous beauty. Leaving Annie with Mrs. Delamere’s children she went to the hospital. There she was known and weleomed. ed into the main dawn. As she pass- ward white cots were ranged, the nurse accompany- ing her pointed out one particular “That is a new case since you were here. An odd one too. The man is suffering from prostration both physical and mental. His mind is almost gone. He can recall noth ing, remember no one.” A few words of pity passed Laven- der’s lips. She went on down the ward, leaving on each bed a lily and a message of cheer or comfort. She glanced at the patient—leaned for- ward, looked more searchingly. Her eyes dilated—darkened. Her whole face went white as death She trem- bled so violently the lilies she held fell to the floor. Suddenly, with a cry of the most piercing, delirous delight, she reeled forward, fell against the low bed, and flung her arms around him who lay thereon. “Jack! Jack! Oh, Jack!” Worn, haggard, bearded, chang- ed, still she knew him. That ery! That voice! It recalled his dormant faculties, his benumbed brain. He strove to stand erect. The light of consciousness, of intel- ligence, of recognition, came into his countenance. “My wife!” he murmured. The attendants came hurrying up. All attention was given the invalid. It was several dazed, bhissfal, hours before weak Lavender could re- The news of Jack Bas- sett’s return was soon public prop- erty. His recovery was rapid and complete. And, to the furious dis- appointment of Vandelours, his claim to inheritance of the disputed estate was admitted and established. He could not recall much from the hour he had been beaten and robbed in Dakota, to the moment of his recog- ognition in the city hospital. But little by little the story of his suf- ferings, of his sad, half senseless wanderings, transpired. It is with feelings of the most in- expressible content thet this Easter Sunday Jack Bassett and his wife j hear the bells of joy peal out. “Oh, darling he says, drawing her to him, “if you in your sweet charity had not gone to the hospi- tal to gladden some sorrowful ones, we might never have met. But your face, your voice, had power to draw me back from the verge of insanity, from death to life. But you are ery- ing, dearest.” Itis true. But through the fears her face is radiant with love, grati- tude, gladness. “Listen!” she murmurs; let anoth- er speak my heart for me?” And then she softly quotes: **There’s not a foolish flower i’ the grass, Or bird through the woodland calling, So glad again of the coming rain As I of these tears now falling— Those happy tears down falling.’’ The men and women who go toa store to duplicate an article seldom have any idea of the annoyance they are likely to be.
