And every gentle air that dallied.

Spirits moving musically,
To a lute's well-tuned law,
In state his glory well beftting,

And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door.
Through which came flowing, flowine

A troop of Echoes. whose sweet duty
Was but to sing.
In voices OF surprising beauty,
The wit and wisdom Of their king.

And travellers now within that valley
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move fantasticaIly
To a discordant melody:

Through the pale door
A hideous throng rust but forever.
And lauGh-but smile no more.

Mr. Cook, accompanied by Sheriff

ties had been thrown together in an
adjoining field, but railroad man
said this was done to get them out
