were laden with his supplies for the
approaching winter. The season was
late. the mountains would soon be i'm

for his buying in order that he might
not be followed, and it was his hab-

presence az one spot might not arouse

ward the bend which concealed him
from her and then he stopped. Had
he any right to intrude upon her
privacy? He must of necessity be an
unwelcome visitor to her; he had sur
prised her at a frightful disadvantage,
he knew instinctively, although the
fault was none Of his, although he
had saved her life thereby, that she
would hold him and him alone re-
sponsible for the outrage to her mod
esty, and although he had seen little
at first glance and had Tesolutely kept
his eyes away, the mere conscious
ness of her absolute helplessness APP
pealed to him-to what was best and
noblest In him, too. He must go to
her; yet stay, she might not yet be
clothed, in which event. But no,
she must be dressed, or dead, by this
time, and in either case he would
| have a duty to discharge.
1t devolved upon him to make sure
Of her safety; he was in a certain
sense responsible for it, until she got
| back to her friends, wherever they
might be; but he persuaded himself
! that otherwise he did not want to see
her again, that he did not wish to
know anything about her future; that
he did not care whether it was well or
i'll with her; and it was only stern
obligation which drove him toward

MUSIC or THE WALTZ.


Magic 81 Inc Alurina MslodIss Of 10
ham Strauss.
Johann Strauss wrote some Of the
most alluring waltzes that have
ever bewitched the feet Of the
world, and they have aptly been de-
scribed as @those irresistible waltzes
that first catch the ear and then
curl around the head till on a sud-
den they invade and win have the
legs"
The music Of the waltz originally
consisted Of two sections, each conn
posed Of eight measures in three
tourths or three-eighths time. Ex-
amples Of these primitive forms are
found in B~eethoven's and Mozart's
German dances. The next develop
ment was the stringing together Of
several Of these sixteen measure
waltzes and the addition Of trios
and a coda. Hummel first effected
this in 1908. The base Of modern
waltz music, however, is found III
the dances Of Schubert. But it Is
to Weber that the waltz owes
what m~usically speaking, is its
most important development. The
composition Of the Invitation to
the Dance" marked the adoption Of
the waltz form into the sphere Of
absolute music and prepared the
way for the stream Of ~pianoforto
and vocal waltzes not intended az
lccompaniments to dancing, the
best examples Of which are the
waltzes Of Chopin and Rubinstein.
Johann Strauss, the first called I
the father Of the waltz raised the
waltz to a higher level than It had
,ver been raised before, and Jo-
lann, his son, called "the waltz
ing" developed the waltz TO its
present form. Strauss, the son.,
Vrote over 400 pieces Of dance mu-
Of which ~Ihe Beautiful Blue
Danube" his first vocal waltz, was
he most popular. His waltzes we're

In the early part Of the nine
'enth century the composition Of
for dancing was almost en-
rely in the hands Of the Vienneee
,mposcrs and the Strauss family
particular. The Strauss waltzes,

Thomas Carlyle was tacilurn, and
one writer gave him the paradoxical
title, ethe roaring apostle Of taci-
turnity." The same writer once
rode with Carlyle in the Chelsea
omnibus and endeavored in vain
with questions to induce the great
man to break bis golden silence and
coin q few sentences Of silver
speech. Carlyle preserved q moody
silence. But the defeated oues-
toner had his revenge when, affect
ing not to know Mr.. Carlyle, he
asked the conductor &c they got out
who the gentleman was and re-
the following reply:
"Oh, yes, sir; l know him well
