ano resounded to her hand; joyous
waves of harmony rolled through the
room enriching the air as carried by
the violin. The player changed his
theme. Old German folk songs, cho-
rails. snatches of operas-he played
them all lovingly. and the girl followed
at the piano below.
All at once the music ceased. Elsa
drew long breath as If awakening
from dream, but she still sat at the
piano with her little toil-roughened
hands resting on the keyboard.
There was the sound of footsteps
on the stairs and then a tap on the
half-open door. A big. blond young
man, unmistakably German, stood
smiling in the doorway.
The music, 1t was good, ach so
good.' he said approvingly. "The
songs OF the fatherland move the
heart. is 1t not so?"
The tears rose again to Elsa's eyes,
but this time they did not burn; they
were refreshing like summer showers.
At first she could not speak. The
soung man seemed not to notice her
emotion. He drew up a chair and
talked easily until she had recovered
herself. Before she knew 1t she was
chatting gayly with this cheerful
stranger, who was indeed not stran-
ger, for he was from the home coun-
try. She smiled. she actually laughed

into being. The young man, whose
name proved to be Rudolph Heide, en-

longed that enjoyment till the asth-
matte cuckoo clock warned him that
the hour was late.
After that evening the violin and
piano kept company whenever there
was an opportunity. When there was
none Rudolph and Elsa did their best
to make up for the absence of the mu-
sic. Pale little Elsa bloomed into
beauty and went about her work ever
humming the beloved German airs.
Mrs Green watched the romance with
kind eyes. Even a lodging house
keeper may have heart concealed
about her person.
One Sunday afternoon the lovers
wandered through the park. They sat

Fresh air chicken houses are being
recognized as the best for use in any

Any poultry house should be suffi-

1t is very annoying to have fine plump
chickens up to the broiler age picked

They DepOrted Him

Time and again we have refer
red to the increasing racial diff
culties in Africa. The assertions
have been based on the known
disposition of the white men with
their superior attitude" and the
known disposition of enlightened
Negroes or dark races, the racial
ferment in India and elsewhere
being none the less that in Africa
and the United States.
The London Morning Leader
recently commenting on South
African happening, where a white
settler killed native, said:
"We are glad to see that Mr..
Galbraith Cole has been ordered
to be deported from East Africa.
1t is not a very heavy punishment
for the crime of which he was SO
strangely acquitted, but it may g"
some way to check the belief, very
naturally fostered by recent events
that there is no justice at all for
the black subjects of the British
Crown, and that. they are liable to
be shot with impunity by any
white man for any offense of
which they may or may not have
been guilty. We can imagine no
conduct more likely to excite rae
ial hatred than that which lends
color to such a theory; and which
could lend more vivid color to it
than the deliberate shooting of his
unfortunate victim by Mr.. Cole
ION his own confession he fired
twice at him) and the subsequent
verdict of the jury. This crime
had not even the poor excuse al
legged in the Bulawayo case. The
victim was shot not for insulting
white women, but for being su-
spected of sheep. stealing. There
appears to be some excitement in
the colony and declarations that
more will be heard of it are freely
reported. We have no objection
at all to great deal more being
heard of this case; but if Mr.. Cole
and his friends are well advised in
their own interests they will not
be anxious gratiously, to adver-
tise the facts in the country. The
results will probably surprise
them Freeman.
