TheJackson & IWilson Co . an faaccessid’: THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK FLAND, egre inc HEY moa in the deserted vestry of the church, facing each other angrily for the first time in their lives. Then suddenly Janet swept the diamond from the third finger of her left hand and held it forth. “You will oblige me by taking this back,” she said bitingly. He stood looking into her eyes, growing grayer of face as he saw the stubborn anger that reposed within them. “Which means that our enm- gagement is broken, and that I may not hope for its renewal,” he replied very low. For an instant their gaze met as the glittering thing, lightly held, was passing from hand to hand; then as she released it and before his grip had become secure there was the slip of a nervous finger and with a tinkle the ring fell upon the iron grating of the floor register. Faintly they heard it go bounding far down the metal pipe which led to the furnace below, each supposing it lost forever in the flames and not know: ing that in fits fall by some strange fate it had bounded through a small hole in the pipe and now lay amidst the rub- bish of the church's basement. For an instant the girl's eyes softened, then hardened again and she turned them aside. Upon the floor in.a corner of the room the little church mouse was sitting upon its hnunchea and she nodded towards him. “To be renewed when the little church mouse brings it back to me.” she returned celdly. They turned their backs upon each other and walked away. A week passed, and the little church mouse prowling about in the darkness of the basement, through the gloom that glittered even more brightly than did his own eyes. Cautiously, hungrily, he approached ft, smelt of it felt of it with his gray whiskers, then stood it up before him. Its glitter fascinated him. Surely this glistening thing about the size of » kernel of corn must be good to eat, and he tried his sharp teeth upon it. Yet gnaw as he would, he could not even scratch it, and at last he decided that it was only good to play with. He was a little thing, and half starved as are all church mice, so it came to pass that it was not long before he had worked his head and forelegs through it and was running about with it encircling his middle, a very small creature wearing a diamond saddle with a gold girth. It was fun for a time, but he soon became tired of it and tried to crawl out. He could not. Becoming panic stricken he fled frantically up the stairs.

Softly she slipped one hand into his own, and as his fingers gently closed about it he felt some thing hard, round and familiar within | his grasp. He raised her hand. The | engagement ring—his ovn—enelrcled her third left finger. “The little church mouse brought it back to me. Listen while I tell you,” she sald, drawing a trifie closer For a mo- ment her voice mur- mured. “Is it not wonder- wul!” she exclaimed, balf awed, as she fin- {shed. His eyes ightened. Wonderful, dear! ‘t s ‘ar more than that. It is a miracle of His Spirl’ wrought upon ms day— His token of love everlasting and . that even we are mot forgotten.” Tightly his arms closed about her.
