rain was falling. No CLEAN of sunshine
had illumined the gray lichen crowned
roof of his cabin all that day. Through
his uncurtained, shutterless windows
he could see the rain dropping i'll trans

shingles that overlapped the roof as for

withered cheek of old age
The cliffs that clasped Neck or Moth

twilight which still fingered on the up

In front of Strong's hermitage stretch

seward with a resistlcss energy that
bent the pale green crests of the willows
on it's margin until they shivered i'll

Instead an occasional transport"

coated soldiery, being conveyed from

Seth had just delivered himself of the lat
est 1Cdr 1telUs.
GUS potency whose DEGREES were not to
be questioned Strong sullen, resentful,
rebellious wretched.
AS he sat there opposite Seth, with
his elbows supported by his knees, his
long hair tumbling riotously about his
forehead, toying with pair of clumsy
tongs which Vulcan might have design
ed in ponderous mood, there was u pa
thetic suggestion of wasted force about
him.
His form, which had broadened and
strengthened under the open air agen-
cies of cropmaking and deer hunting,
had the sinewy grace of young ath-
lete's.
Seth, never erect, but grown still
rounder shouldered and more slouching
as the years bent him earthward under
their unyielding demand for his best,
looked old and careworn by contrast.
His gentle blue eyes were fixed visit
fully upon the young giant sulking on
the other side of the hearth from him.
Several times his lips parted, as if he
were growing weary waiting for Strong
to speak the words he ought to speak,
but as often he closed them again pa
tiently.
He was man of infinite patience,
but even Seth s patience had its limita-
tions, which were reached suddenly at
last.
Strong slowly lifted the heavy tongs,
made lunge at the glowing logs that
sent shower of red gold sparks flying
merrily up the black throatod chimney,
and replacing the tongs 'against the
whitewashed jamb thrust his hands in
his pockets, stretched his legs to their
utmost capacity and asked with an os-
teptatious yawn:
How does sis get on teaching Miss
Chambliss high art?''
Seth flung his rough hands out with
an impatient gesture.

MARINE BAND LEADERSHIP.

/ Col Haywood, commanding the marine
corps, was asked today about the leader
ship OF the Marine Bard, but he said that
no definite action had bsen taken III re-
gard to that matter. 1t is understood that
within a short while now the matter will

Mr.. Santleman, who is pupil Of Sousa's,
Will be selected as the leader, although
Col Haywood would not confirm this state
nent. He spoke of Santleman in the high
est terms and of how fully he was equipped
for the position.
'Santleman has not pressed his candi-
dacy,' said Col. Haywood, because he is
a warm friend Of Zimmerman's.'
Has zimmerman declined to accept the
NO, but We will know his position with

Col Haywood said that the department
had issued no orders prohibiting the mem-
bers of thu United States Marine Band
from accepting private engagements in
Washington, and it is not thought that
such an order will be issued.
The members OF the band have fire.
quently volunteered their services when
asked to assist in any charitable engage
ment, said Col. Haywood, land l can see
no objection to the public asking them to
play private engagements when there Is an
opportunity to throw a dollar or 'wO in
their way"
the members of the band are for the
most part members of the various musical
unions. They would, 1t Is said. leave the
band as their term of enlistment expires
should they be unable to accept an engage
ment on the outside. Their pay as musi-
clans in the band would not keep them.
1t Is thought that leader will be ap-
pointed shortly, and thu band will soon be
on weH-established footing again, as one
Of the leading military bands Of the world.
