ing made TO revive the quartette choir
at Christ Episcopal Church, which at
ono time attracted such large crowds by
their admirable singing. 1t is not
known, however. if the quartette can be
formed as it formerly existed, as two of
it's members, as then constituted, are
now singing in the choir of st. Johns
Episcopal Church, namely, Mrs j. F.

I felt-nay, who can say what did feel!
But know this-that the tears rushed to
my eyes and ran down my painted face,
and turned my head to look at her. She
was lying as much upon her left side as
her bands would allow; her long hair fell
from the stone to the paving, where 1t lay

is dearer to you than am, but now your

Indian girl, and you think that you love
her. Let me die, then, believing that the
dream is true.

for me, and I love you for it."

Teule, what magic have you that you can
