Shortly after breakfast he wandered off. At night
he returned to Mr.. Streets ana was invited to
stay all night. He arose from his bed at mid

Listening for thy voice till weary,
Weary for we hear 1t not.

surpassed. The firm is, in every way a reliable
one 1t is quick to recognize the merits of new
inventions and improvements in the manufac-
ture of pianos, aud has, from time to time,
adopted those which possess real excellence, I'M
til the Knabe pianos are now the most perfect
instruments of the kind in the world The firm
has hundreds of skilled workmen in its employ
ment, and every detail of manufacture Is
carefully overlooked The Knabe pianos have
been introduced in all the leading cities of Eu-
rope and have gained for themselves an enviable
reputation both at home and abroad. Being the
