AN ORIENTAL STORY.

Chicago BAH Players Reflections on
Beholding the TAI Mahal
Beneath the cloudless sky of India
the domes and minarets OF earths love-
lest shrine glittered in the pale NOON
light with radiance pure, unearthly
and enhancing. The soul of the OBJ
server reveled in the marvellous beauty
and glory of the scene. On the red
sandstone and marble terraces rose the
ton, aided by the resources OF wealth,
genius, art and imagination, ever
reared TO perpetuate the memory OF the
loved and lost. The voices of the dead
past seemed to whisper in the vast In
terror OF the marvellous structure and
bid mankind heed the precepts Of wis.,
dom inscribed in imperishable mosaics
of precious stones on the inner walls.
The pure white marble, whose polished
surface was reflected in the crystal
waves from whose bosom this wonder
full edifice appeared to rise, the delicate
spires, beautiful as poets dream and
shapely as the embodied vision of an
inspired architect-these might we'll
enchain the attention and hold in their
magic thrall the sou! OF the traveller
from the Far Western world who stood
with head barred to the breeze and
gazed in seeming rapture at the grand
and thrilling spectacle.
Tall, erect, with the form OF an
Apollo Belvedere and the physical pro-
portions of n Greek athlete, the en-
bodiment and ideal of vigorous and
magnificent manhood, he stood with
folded arms and surveyed the glorious
beauty of the scene before him. His
eye wandered over the historic land
scape and deep sigh burst from his
bosom.
mot n gol-darned place in the whole
inclosure where we can play game"
he exclaimed. "It's worse than the
Pyramids and the Coliseum! When a
man lays out a ground like this why in
thunder can't he have sense enough to
build back-stop and leave room for
foul 1agsl"
The traveller was Captain Arson. He
was looking at the Tai Mahal. From
