WHEN the European finds that his
government has laid tax to keep him
at home he will suspect that he is
wanted for the performance OF some
disagreeable task. such US fighting.
and he will imagine the prospects
abroad 10 be better than he had ever
supposed. and therefore will be all the
more eager TO leave. There is no dan
ger that we will not get all the indus

heed in spite OF any tax that European

The Gentle element in Utah will
make fatal mistake II it gives up its
organization or Is tempted to weaken
Its ranks by listening to the seductive
promises OF the cunning Mormon
hierarchy. Its conversion to decency
is too swift and spontaneous to be ac-
copied. This same hierarchy is work
ing too industriously to secure converts
and add to the Mormon population to
make one believe the church has no
desire to control politics.

day; it was him tibet give me flowers
fur you; 1 forgot to tell you when 1
come in"
Miss Smiths face turned the color of
the pale grass pinls, but she said moth
ing, and the lesson went dragging on;
''one-two-three - rest" she counted.
and Sally's fat fingers slowly picked
out the notes pointed by the teachers
pencil
At last the lesson was finished and
Sally remembered a message which she
had almost forgotten. ''Oh, Miss
Smith, ma and Maria tole me to be sure
and asst you if you'd come over to-mor-
row night an play; they're goin' to
move the origin into the kitchen an
have double music"
Miss Smith had sometimes played
double music" with Tom Jones before;
and the little old maid remembered
how pleasant it had been to play chords
to the lively strains of Money Musk,
with Tom Jones bending over her to
ask if he went too fast for her or If she
was tired pumping; so she told Sal
" that she would come.
Tom Jones was the other musician of
the village. If Miss Smiths speciality
was sacred music, his was certainlv
secular and his fiddle was the life of ali
the country dances.
After Sally had gone Miss Smith
dropped into her little creaking rocking
chair and sat quite still looking at Tom
Jones flowers. She was thinking that
she was sorry Tom was going away.
They had been children together in this
same village, and when he was a. Young
man and she pretty girl, they had
been half lovers. but their love had
never been confessed and they had
drifted apart although neither one had
married anyone else; and now that
Tom was going it made her feel lone
some somehow.

again; but there was a gay yellow
sheepslxin rug laid over the worst spot
in the carpet, and the curtains were
hung so that most of the bad places
came under the folds; and the whole
air of the place was so hOmelile and
coy that you quite forgot that the fur
nishings were poor.
There was a whatnOt in one corner
with the lower shelves filed with books
and the upper ones with knickknacks
and keepsakes.
There were some cane-seated chairs
and two rockers and an organ with an
open instruction book upon the rack
well-thumbed book with the finger
ing marked in lead pencil and with its
1, ., 8, (, and mysterious looking black
crosses. where you ought to put your
thumbs.
The organ had two stops, "TremOlo"
and ''VOX." Miss Smith didn't know
what 'vOx" really meant; whenever
she felt lonely and depressed she in
stinetively pulled out the tremolo-stop
and let the notes culver and culver as
they would; but when she was happy
she noticed that she pulled out the
other stop, so she concluded that it
must mean gladness or something like
that.
Now Miss Smith was a sweet-faced
little old maid who had very little mu-
steal knowledge or skill, but she had
unlimited patience, and there was no
other music teacher in the village, SO
she had quite large class of pupils
young girls whose ambition it was to
play the organ in Sunday-school or to
entertain the sociables with selections
of Observation-Disclosures small boys and
girls who hated to practice and who
didn't like music a bit, but whose
mothers were ambitious for them in the
way of accomplishments.
A little click of the gate latch makes
Miss Smith look up from her roses and
she runs to open the door before the
newcomer has time to knock. 1t is
little Sally Walters with her music
book uIAler her arm and a bouquet of
grass pinlls in her hand. Miss Smith
greets her checrily: Good day, Sally,
o! them poses for me? Thank We, dear,
III run and get a tumbler fer EN-"
Now, Sally, we will have the scales
first, dear" and Sally blunders along
with her right hand note or two in
advance of her left.
Here, dear, try again, and don't for
get your thumbs this time" and Sally
tries again and she doesn't forget her
thumbs for u minute; she uses them
wherever she can twist them under and
over as she plods up and down the
scale
''0h, Sally, hain't told you never
to put your thumbs on the black keys

charming frankness as she turns to her
exercises with sigh. Mandy Null is
