in their roar with the strains of martial
music. They, too, seemed conscious
beings, and striving with their olden voices
TO awaken the Chieftain for whom they h. d

But drum and trumpet tone and the
sound of cannon fell alike on the duh ear
of the mighty sleeper. His battles were
all over, and his fierce spirit gone to a
land where the loud trumpet of war is

spectacle moved the stoutest heart. The
