knew that he was composing.
Presently lie rose from his seat with

ton and removed the cloth He then
carried il to the piano and. seating
himself. took the hideous object upor
his knees-a strange picture of life and
death
Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton he laid the

man and skeleton seated at the piano,

ing around them and the ever swelling
and ever sOftening music filling the air
with mystery. And | knew i was lis
