As organist, Susie was compelled to take part in all the services at St. Mark's, but besides this regular attendance she was a devout, memper of the church, and gave her time, little as she could spare it, to the work in the mi sionary scciety, sewing circles and festi vals of the year And the work upon which she was sewing so steadily Susie called, in her | heart, her Easter of ring. Mrs. Stacey, the richest woman in Rosedale, employed Susie's busy fingers and it only made the gentle girl he smile scc when she rd Bessie Stace for the exquisite embrodery active fingers wrought. Mrs. Stacey intended to Easter offering at St. Mar set of church linen, and she had engaged Susie to hem, stitch and embroider it, rfully praised her own make an promising her #10 for work she well new would cost her three times that sum in any city store. And Susie had alr that sum, in her mind. alarge cross of white flowe uch as sha had seen in her visits to the city, and present it to St. Mark's. Not one penny of those $10 would she use for her own expenses, and if Bessio Stacey it be understood that she had embroidered the linen her mother presented, why Susie could give her ¢ross and so balance matters, For, somewhere in the depths of her heart, so far down she had never called it to the surface, Susie knew that there was rivalry between Bessie Stacey and herself. She knew that Mr. Castleton was frequently at Mrs cey’s to lun- cheon, to- dinner, to arrange various church matters in which Mrs. Stacey suddenly wakened to an interest she had never felt when good old Mr. Murray presided in the pulpit. And Bessie wore the most becoming dresses right under the minister’s eyes, while Susie's modest dresses were hidden behind the eurtains of the organ loft, As she worked in the passion-flowers encircling hel oss, Susie thought of the order she would send to her Aunt Mary in Hw city for the cross she meant 10 buy. s had steadily put away the traplation ¢ buy & new spring hat or one new dress, resolving to make over her gray poplin once more and have her old hat cleanced and pressed.

But it was to be her Easter offering; and if there lurked a thought of M Castleton’s words of praise or his grave eyes looking approvingly upon the taste- ful gift, was she o very much to blame? She had finished her work beafore sun- set, and took it home. Mrs. Stacey was in the sitting room, whe Bessie was opening the parcel containing a new silk ve in the eyes of suit for Easter Sunday, and Susie was called upon to admire the color, the style, the general effect. “It is dark for said, fretfully. “You know very well you cannot light colors,” said her mother. eyes and hair ave all you your teeth are good, your features ry ar and your figure issimply perfect your complexion is thick and sallow and always will be until you stop eating so much rich food. Now here is Susie without; one really good feature in her face, with an insignificant figure, eyes of no eolor in particular, a sort of bluish- gray,but with a complexion like a minia- ture painting. Shecan wear blue and softly tinted fabrics, but you cannot.” She might have added that Susie's hair was the color of corn-silk and one mass of waves and soft ringlets; that Susie's mouth was like a baby's in its tender curves and sweet expression; that Susie's eyes were full ofintelligence and gentle, womanly sweetness; but she for- #£ot to mention these points, and Susie was crushed, as she intended her to be, in spite af her complexion. But Mrs, Stacey took out her pocket- book, and from it a $10 gold piece. “You can buy & new hat,” she said, a patronizing way, indescribably irritat- ing. *'No,” Susie said, quietly; “this is to be my Easter offering. “Oh!
