skirted the base of the hills, loomed suddenly in sight, and with one impulse the peasants hailed him as being sent from other realms-to aid them per haps. They conjured him to disperse the clouds that for several days had hung about the mountains and prevent ed their getting to their fiocks grazing on the heights.
 The traveller replied serenely in an unintelligible dialect that the clouds certainly were fine evidences of a dull day, but that the herdsmen were not to be further alarmed, as he was provided with the sovereign remedy for such exigencies- Seating himself on Q stump near by, Herr Veit began confi- dently to woo the sun god with sweet music. The anxious rustics concluded that this procedure was the magical way to dissipate the mists and went by twos and threes contentedly about their vari- ous callings.
 AS the hours wore away, however, with no marked tightening of the at mosphere, the people began to doubt the strangers power and to exhibit signs of impatience, some manifestations being so stormy as to affect the musician-and his measures-tremulous Phrbus, too, apparently was angry, for though Herr Veit, with his iveliest notes, be- sought an audience, the day closed un- blessed with glimpse of the sun god s radiance. AS the night became darker and darker, the music grew more and more faint, but it was only when the weariest villagers had sunk to rest that the melody ceased. In order to give their would be deliverer sufficient time, the inhabitants had resolved to leave him to his methods until the following day. Bright and early next morning the sun appeared, but long before its rays gilded the mountain tops Herr Veit, fearful of another trial, had stolen from the scene of his exertions-sightin after many hardships the familiar roofs of Salzburg.
 One evening soon after Herr Veit's re. turn the student was asked to sup with him, and over the coffee the adventure was reconnted. The legend which had turned the shoemaker's head must have been of Amphion, under whose magic music the ramparts of Thebes are re- puted to have arisen, for when the epi- sode had been rehearsed mine host, pre- facing by way of momentum, "A little learning is dangerous thing, reflected that in the olden time it must have been no small matter to build up wall by the power of music, seeing that nowa- days it was most difficult to move even a cloud by the same.
 True" Gabriel acquiesced, "such feats seem practicable enough on paper; but, success granted, warrant that the achievements one comes across in chron- icles were not the crust breaking per formances that the old bards report. Times, moreover, have changed. We live in another age; different conditions environ us Waiving enigmas abroad or in remote periods, there are problems at our very doors clamoring for solution.
