cannot bear to be confined TO hours, and
shrinks from the monoiony Of conventional
life. His soul Is always free, oven when his
body is slave to vices. He dwels high
in air, but always has Il longing for the valleys
beneath him. lie is the mountaineer race
among men, and his range of vision being
broader, his grasp of truth is wider than other
mems To him the god Pan is conscious re-
ality and the fauns and the fays
living beings. His physical organiza-
tion is always cxquisitcly delicate, and its
refined mechanism Is seldom in harmonious
order He hears in his soul tho music of
wonderful melodies, and oft catches the
glimpse of a beckoning hand no other eye can
see. The world ho lives in is Bohemia, n
land whose borders always rocedo from
the approach Of one not fitted to live
in its Arcadiau area, and Of whose
people and whose purple cline no
alien can ever from his own knowledge speak.
What Bohemian, forced into the outer world
cares for its grosser trumphs, or fails to get
back as speedily as may be to his own beloved
land? His rewards are not those of most
mems and mnyhap his future destiny depends
more on the loving Godhcad than on the
wishes and the opinions of his fellow men.
