The great instrument seemed instinct with
life under his mastery touch-not the life
of flesh and blood, but the great throbbing
life of nature, where the raoming winds,
gentle zephyrs, rolling thunder and
the signing of autumns dying
leaves are the changing tone and
undertones of the theme Mr.. Taft's exc
cution was superb. The familiar old tune
would at one moment be heard distant
and deep, the next advancing with the
fury and volume of cyclone, and the next
the storm would have melted away and the
melody would come ripping as gently as
the singing of summer birds. All this
time the air Of this popular song could be
tryced amid the ingenious variations IN

jaded and moneyless travellers through the
bluegrass region. Hundreds of persons
visit the historic spot in the course of a

his servants. Within the walls many valu-
able relics, which were preserved by Clay,
still remain as nearly as possible in the po-

In Sarotov an interesting traveller on
foot arrived recently. lie was a peasant,
Nikolay Audukin by name, and over 70
years of age. He had been q serf. and in
1852 his master had accused him Of theft,
and had caused him TO be exiled TO
Okhotsk, in Eastern Siberia. As the
crime Of which he had been accused
could not be established he was sent off
as a ''free exile'-that is, ne was not kept
a prisoner or bound to penal service in
the place Of his destination. For thirty
eight years he worked in Okhotsk as a
tanner, and saved money. Having at
tanned his SEVENTEEN year he conceived a
desire to return to his native land, and,
as he said, ''to put away his little bones
among his own people when his time is
up in this world" But he was still hale
and hearty, and Travelled all the way
from Okhotsk on foot. lie was on the
road twenty-five months. and had many
a narrow escape from encounters with
bears and wolves. At his old home he
has large family Of children and grand
children awaiting him with open arms.
