sounds came from IT, I hope he doesn't
play just yet whispered the artist.
There's a band or something playing
about a mile away. You can just hear
it Listenr We listened. The sounds
became louder. It's the organ said
the artist 1t was wonderful music.
Sometimes the notes of the organ had
the roar and majesty Of thunder. and
the great tabernacle seemed to rock
from the volume of the sound. Then
they died away entirely, and there
would come the peeping Of birds, and
the soft music of a mountain riil.
Listen, said the artist. there's a girl
singing: what wonderful clear high
notes I never heard an angel sing, but
I imagine it's something like that. Can
you see her? Where is she standing?'
But there was no singer. 1t was only
the organ. Then the organ initiated
mixed quartet so perfectly that in
looking into the dim recesses around il
we could fairly see the fat bass with
the high collar, and the pale, handsome
tenor with a blonde Taoustache, and the
new gray tie. The little alto was there
too, fat as a partridge and a tall
graceful blonde with veil that So
pranos always wear. and as unmindful
as a statue of the sheep's-eyes glances
Of the tenor. After the quartet had
finished and rustled down into their
seats and dropped their hymn books
down on the floor beside their chairs
and the tenor had pulled his blonde
moustaChe and whispered something to
the soprano. and the bass had slipped
a couple of cough lozenges into his
mouth. and was trying to eat them
without moving his jaws, an orchestra
played. And straightway the quartet
vanished and we could see the orches-
ira. 1t wasn't hard to make out
the leader there,
With his pale, bleak forehead and long.
black hair,
And the second and cello and bass.
And the B-fiat putting and poutfng his
face
Into the little horn he blew
Silvery bubbles Of music through.

Italian, with long, black hair, and a
white, solemn face, came out and plaved

and we pictured battle and the roar
Of the big guns and the hate and lust
