ThesoftSummerbreezeonthis Sundayafternoonwasfragrantwith theodourofpineandfirasAnna O'Kellywalkedclowninthepath thicklycarpetedwithneedles,across whichthesunlightflickeredanddanced,tothesmallwoodenchapelinthe clearing.HernieceEileen,arestless littlesprite,accompaniedher.Reachingthedoor,Annagaveagentlepush andtoherdelightitopened.

Shewaspleasedtofindshecould enterandsayafewprayers,asitwas closedduringtheweek,andsometimes immediatelyafterMassonSunday.TodayFatherBurnshadnotreturnedat oncetohisowntown,tenmilesdistant,andthechapelwouldbeopen untilhewasreadytoreturn.The placewascoolandquiet,andsosoothingafteraseekoffunandexcitementthatshefeltinclinedtospend theafternoonthereinprayer.

Annawasjustclosingthedoorwhen shemissedher rememberedRosarybeadsandthen thatshehadgiventhem tothechild.

"Eileen,darling,whereareauntie's beads?"shesaid.

Eileenranbackintothechapeland returnedwiththebeads,butasAnna tooktheminherhandsshefelta thrillofalarm,forthesmallsilver crosswasgone.

"Eileen,"shecried,"whatdidyou dowithauntie'scross?"

Eileenwasfrightenedandbeganto cry.

"Didn'tdonuffin'withit."

Annasawthatifshewastogetany informationshemustkeepcalm;so takinghersmallniecebythehandshe ledherintothechurch.

"Now,dear,showAuntAnnawhere youputthecross,"shesaidgently.

Eileenwentstraighttooneofthe pews.

"ItcommedoffandIputitinthis book."

Therewereseveralprayer-books about,andAnnexaminedthemall, butnocrossappeared.Shesearched upanddown,insideandoutsideofthe chapel,butherlabourwasfruitless. Thenshekneltinoneofthepewsand prayed,withasobinherthroat,that shewouldfindthecross.

Thefamilyatthecottagewere muchconcernedovertheloss,especi- allywhentheysawhowbadlyshefelt aboutit.Continuedquestioningof Eileenelicitedtheinformationthat shehadputit"inthebirdies'nest."

"Tryandnotthinkaboutitto- night.Anna,"herbrothercomforted her,"andto-morrowwewillmakea systematicsearch."

"St.Anthonydidnotobtainmy wish."shesaid,"buttherewasprobablysomegoodreasonforit,andI shallnotthinkanymoreaboutit."

Withthislogicsheresolutelyput herlossfromhermind;butjustasif Godhadbeentryingherfaithand courage,socametheanswertoher prayer,andEileen,whohadbeenthe onetocausetheloss,wasalsothechief factorinitsreturn.
