With hardly pause and never look
from the player at his two shamefaced

from the grand to the light and airy,
from the classic to the modern, and
finally into soft and dreamy adagio

fasten my cash.
So back we went Our faces, long
as the shadows of the falling even

something was wrong, and when we
had played and they had played and
Cousin Linn had played they knew
what it was. And when we had closed
the last gate and turned homeward we
were two sad and conscience stricken
girls and one silent and solemn man.
But as we nearcd the house Cousin
Linn's downcast eyes began slowly to
tuln toward us, and as they fell upon
our woebcgone countenances the pre-
ternaturally grave lines went out of his
face like dissolving view in stereop-

ally fell fiat down in fit.
And we solemnly picked up our skirts
and left him there groveling in a con-
vulsion of laughter that scared the birds
from every tree i'll the block.
Cousin Linn came again to the house
many times afterward. He often played
for us, but the painful subject was
never referred to. We did not con-

this assurance, young Smith was ap-

no difficulty whatever in keeping his
