through the fields to end at some pas

John Harkless was leaning on the
pasture bars. The stars were wan and
the full moon shone over the fields.
Meadows and woodlands lay quiet and
motionless under the old, sweet mar

monotony OF the fat lands there some

breathing an antique MESA ge, sad,
mysterious, reassuring. But there had
come divine melody adrift on the air.
Through the open windows it floated.
Indoors some one struck peal of sill

lover, and woman's voice was lifted.

How long had it been since he had
heard a song or any discourse of music
other than that furnished by the Platt-

the faces was that of Tom Meredith,
clubmate, classmate, his closest friend,
the thin, redheaded third baseman. He
could see Toms mouth opened at least
a yard, it seemed, such was his frantic
