~ Trout's hotel indicated the full advancement

Red Meekins who had come in from his claim,

turned to Trout and remarked, That Singer To-

it was that loony Teller Lamonte,

made little tentative excursions
up and down the keys with his
fingers. Listen to this, gents"
he said finally, and with elaborate
lingering he played.
Tomasso was a fair performer,
also considerable of a poser; so he
threw his whole capacity into the
weird refrain. The organ walled

quality of the music cut into the
elemental nature of the men of the
woods who listened, their magma

memory that the blood stained
