Triumph Of the Alto.

Triumph Of tho Alto.
From all envy. hatred and malice,
good Lord. deliver US, !" slowly contiaued
the minister.
Good Lord. deliver u.s." echoed the
congregation.
1t was day of triumph for tbs So
prano Of the choir.
All the city folks who were passing
the summer in cool Berryville were in
the congregation, and the alto, her
deadly enemy. had such cold that she
could not sing note.
So she SCARED aloft in highest note, of
gladsome praise, while the unfortuite
alto sat upon the back bench in the
choir loft, consumed with envy that even
her dampest tears could not quench.
"Glory be for evermore!" droned the
bass with gusto.
"Glory be forevermore!' shrilled the
tenor with fervor.
Then the soprano took it up, took up
the glad strain, "Glorv be for ever
more!" Took it up and held 1t fondly;
took it up and played with it among the
lower notes. Snatched it again from the
deeps and ran up the vocal scale with it
in her teeth, throwing 1t out above the
heads Of the enraptued congregation
and catching it again before 1t could
strike bottom. as she swept up the- sta'e
and over the measures in triumph joy.
1t war day Of triumph for her indeed.
Again she took mp the fervld cry,
"Glory be forevermorel" Striking the
lowest notes in her compass, she glor-
iously rolled up the chromatic scale
with the paean Of victory-np-up-up-
with her sway ing head far back, her
straining eyes half closed, her mouth
round and open with the full crescendo
of the pouring flood Of melody. Up
up-up- higher and higher, till tie air
quivered it unison and the souls of the
listeners lost themselves in ecstasy:
Up-up-up-
ave. ~-AS...iy, -sta.~..t -..--.-s-s.

Her voice broke into . cooking gasp,
q thin, reedy wheeze, q horrible, eve
staring gurgIe-she turned black in the
face fell backward into the choir chairs
behind the green curtains in front Of
the loft.
The minister CARED wildly from his
place, hanging over the pulpit's edge.
The entire congregation rose as one
man to leap upon the pew seats and
strain into the upknow horror with
bursting eyes.
The Press representative dashed but
