''Sadko'' is musical tableau written in
1857 and revised in 1892. 1t is Op. 8, and is
dedicated to Balakirew. The legend on
which it is based runs thus:
The ship of Sadko, a dweIler in Nov
gorod has stopped in midocean. Chosen by
lot, Sadko has thrown himself into the
waves as a sacrifice to the Sea King. The
ship then continues it's course.
Left alone among the waves, Sadko, with
his duiciner, is drawn down by the Sea
King into his submarine realm. He finds
himself in the midst of a joyous festival
The Sea King is marrying his daughter to
the Ocean. The King, having commanded
Sadko to play the dulcimer, begins to
dance. and all the rest follow suit. The
Ocean begins also to execute cumbrous
dance, until it brushes and swallows up the
ships. Then Sadko tears away the strings
of his dulcimer. the dance ceases and the
sea regains its calmnesS.
This music which Vienna heard as early
as 1872. has several striking episodes,
among them its picture of the calm sea and
OF the mad dance that eliminates in
Sadko's ripping off the strings of his dull
elmer.

Off from the woods. He cast one
glance at the shore, measuring the
distance with the keen, accurate eye
Of the marksman. Then he removed
his glasses and wiped the moisture,

fired. The head stopped that dreadful
moving from side to side, and Hardy
could feel, even at that distance, that
the eyes were fixed on his own, in
comprehension. He will believe, to
his dying day, that there was graft
tude in them. He had missed, how
ever, and now the Chinese, grasping
his purpose, began shooting at him in
earnest, and several of the horsemen
urged their steeds into the water.
With the bullets scattering all about
him, Hardy set his teeth and fired
again.
Poor Stenkas sufferings were over.
His chin fell forward on his breast
and the body collapsed Imply on the
wooden peg thrust between his thighs.
Thank God!" cried Hardy, and,
turning, he ran back toward the boat,

run but once before, and that was

rhe Eiuure on the Cross.

When Hardy awoke in the morning,
the sun was shining against his open
cabin window He looked out and saw
q stretch of yellow water, cleaning
like gold in the bright rays of the
early light, and, farther away, the
dark green of the interminable ST.
berian forests. 1t was peaceful
scene, with nothing in it suggestive Of
the dreadful conflict of the night. The
corpses of the slain were even now
miles below, floating on and on by
Cossack villages and stretches of
Manchurian woodland, proclaiming
with mute tongue that another con.
fiict had taken place between the
Slav and the Mongol, and with the
usual result. Hardy went on deck and
there beheld solemn and affecting
scene. The dead Bouriat lay on a bier
improvised of two benches, with a
cross q" his breast. The general, the
princess with her maid, and his com.
rades, with uncovered heads, stood
by, while the captain read the burial
service. All were weeping.
The simple service finished, tho
dead soldier, just as he was, in his
high boots and faded, blood-stained
unifoim nj, and with the rude wooden
cross tied to his breast. was lifted

ing. There must have been 100 of
them, at least 20 of whom were
mounted. There could be no further
doubt as to their purpose in thus tor
turing Stenka, openly and in full sight
of the Pushkin. They hoped that his
comrades, maddened by the sight,
would rush to his aid Immediately, or
would fall into the trap later, believ-
ing that the Chinese had gone away
and left him there to suffer. So
great was their astonishment now,
when they realized that only one per-
son was coming to Stenka's rescue,
that they ceased shooting and stood
staring in wonder. And still Hardy
ran on, across the wide and shallow
river, his eyes fixed on that spectacle
of agony. At last he stopped, for the
time had come for him to do the thing
he must do. He could get no nearer
without the absolute certainty of be-
ing shot down. There was no other

ner which suggested accustomed COM
mand and the prestige Of a dozen ia
nous battles.
1t was critical moment, during
which the fate of all on board was at
stake.
For 10, 20 seconds, for half a minute,
the men stood, grasping their weap-
ons, their muscles rigid, in various at
titudes of men about to rush into the
fight; and then the general conquered.
Several dropped their rifles Gathering
to the deck, and covered their faces
with their hands, sobbing. Some fell
on their knees and prayed, while 9TH

Smulders was wounded in the head
by a cash that caused the blood to
flow over his cheek. His clothing was
copiously stained. Romanoff, it was
found, too, had received a thrust in
the leg, of which he made light, but
which was bleeding profusely. The
general ordered him below.
While the men were washing down
the decks. Hardy went into the
passage leading to the cabins. He
wished to reload his rifle, and pos
sibly get little sleep. He wondered
how the princess had Jared during
these terrible moments of uproar and
carnage.
Her cabin door was open and he
saw her within, comforting her maid
and Smulders' Julia, both of whom
were in Mysteries. The two girls,
clasped in each others arms, were
lying on a berth, with a blanket
drawn over their heads, sobbing and
praying.
I'VE have driven them off, madame" "
announced Hardy. Il think there is
no further cause of apprehension at
present" The princess, leaning over
the girls, pulled the blanket from
their heads. and made them under
stand that the enemy had fed. They
sat up, dieheveled, tear-stained, white
as ghosts, and, both being Catholics,
began to cross themselves and mutter
thanks to the Virgin. The Romanovna
advanced to Hardy and offered him
her hand
Il had no fears of the result" she
said, simply, with such heroes on
board" Her face was pale, but it
flushed and her eyes flashed as she
cried: "Oh, why am not man, that
l might have helped you?"
You have helped us a thousand
times more by giving us such cause
to fight for" replied Hardy earnestly.
"You are good at making pretty
speeches to women" said a sneering
voice behind him. II must tell her
highness of the effect which they
produced in Japan"
Hardy turned and beheld Boris Ro-
manoff towering in the passage be-
hind him.
But he is wounded, my brave
Boris" cried the princess, as Roman
off entered the room, limping painful
ly. AS the princess sprang anXiously
to her cousins side and assisted him
to a couch, Hardy turned away and
went to his cabin.
She had not been able to under
stand her cousins remark. reflected
Hardy, as he had made it in English.
