this baptism the robe Is never put

When EaHter Sunday came Hilly
Iirunaon was In a state of nervousness
such an wan not at all common to him.
Ho had nover worked as h had
worked during those throe days, and
he felt ready to collapse when ho
took his place in the choir. Looking
out at the immense congregation, he
saw his father In a pew well down
toward the front.
When Helen rose to siiif? her solo
Hilly held his breath and watched his
father. He saw the old gentleman
lean forward in his pew as the rich,
sweet, sympathetic strains floated out
He had never heard such singing be
fore, and the loveliness of the singer
entranced him. The sternness falcd
out of Frederick Hroneon's counte
nance; the spirit of Raster crept Into
his brcaBt, and a look of glad benovo
b nee overspread his face.
At the end of tho service Mr. liron
hun was in a very mellow state. He
had hardly seen Hilly for three days,
i.nd he wanted to grasp his son by the
land and offer him a word of con
gratulation on the success he had
achieved in carrying out the musical
iirogram of the morning. When ho
I '.d reached the veslibulo be paused
mid looked back, but Hilly was talk
ing with a group of his friends,
fie drew a ib-pp ti-h and went out
i le. HU ll:i,.;:.su.(j was waiting for
him at the curb. He was about to
step into the vehicle when a hand was
laid on bis shoulder, and, turning, he
looked Into his son's radiant face.
Hello. Hilly," he said. "Uel in.
Weil ride home together."
"Won't you wall a minute, father?"
Hilly renllfd. "There's sonio one
whom I waul you to meet."
Who Is your new soprano?" Fred
erick Htonson asked.
"1 will bring her out and Introduce
ber to you," said Hilly, and be rushed
back into tho church.
Mr Hronsou was huldlng the door
of the limousine open when they ap
proached him.
' Father ," ssld Hilly. "I want you
to let m introduce Helen llrooks."
The old gentleuiau straightened up
ruddetily. was silent fur a moment.
and then, taking Helen's outstretched
hand In his, said:
"This is the noest Raster day 1
ever saw. Come on, let's go home
