Ahmed could not find his elephants.
Too late he learned that the mahouts
he had secretly engaged had misunder-
stood his instructions and had stationed
themselves near the main entrance to
the arena.
The cursing and railing against fate
liz a futile thing, never bearing fruit:
so Ramabai suggested his house till
transportation could be secured. They
perfectly understood that they could
not remain in the house more than a
few hours; for Cmballa would surely
send his men everywhere. and quite
possibly first Of all to Ramabai's.
Still, Ramabai did not appear very
much alarmed There were secret
stairways in his house that not even
Pundita knew; and at pinch he had
a plan by which he could turn away
investigation. only in the dircst need,
though, did he intend to execute this
plan. He wanted his friends out of
Alfalfa without the shedding Of any
blood
We'll" said Ahmed angrily casting
aside his disguise; well, Ramabai, this
is the crisis. Will you striker"
Lal Singhs wrinkled face lightened
up with eagerness.
Eve are ready. Ramabai," he said.
"We?' Ramabai paused in his pac-
ing to gaze keenly into the eyes OF this
old cOnspirator.
"Yes. We. For I, Lal Singh. propose
to take my stand at your right hand.
I IA re not been idle. Everywhere your
friends are evincing impotence. All,

Ramabai, watched intently by the
two conspirators for the British Raj
and his white friends. paced back and
forth. his hands behind his back. his
head bent. He was a Christian; he was
not only Christian. he was n Hindu,
and the shedding of blood was doubly
abhorrent to his mind.

- REAT changes are going on in
the women's college world.
More and more girls are seek
ing a higher education. The
latest published statistics show that
in 1sS9-90 there were 20S74 women in
college in this country and 72703 in
1911-12. 1t is estimated that there are
approximately $4,000 women in the
higher institutions of learning to-day.
Ten years ago there were six men in
universities 20 three women; to-day the
proportion is five to three.
To accommodate the increasing num-
Der of women students old institutions
are being rebuilt and new colleges are
being established. The college course
is being remodelled to adapt it to the
more practical needs Of the day.

opening night Of four day Carnival
of Music. She sang Vissi Parte e
d'amor, from Tosca, and created
enthusiasm by her beautiful voice and
warm, dramatic Interpretation. She
was recalled half a dozen times after
the aria, and was presented with sew
eral armfuls of flowers. At another
concert of the series she and Alfred
lima, baritone, sang two duets, viz,
Faure's The CrucifiX and the bar
carolle from Tales of Hoffman.
These numbers, too, received warm
applause.
OF her appearance The Commercial
and Advertiser of the empire city said:
Miss Bryant made a splendid figure
as she sang Vissi d'arte, and her work
called for a well deserved encore. She
declined to respond to a second en-
core. despite the applause, which was
still heard when the leader raped for
the next number by the band. Miss
Bryant sang with much expression
and sympathy. Her voice shows the
training of seven years on the con-
tinent in operate and concert work"

| NEW YORK CHURCH MUSIC.

"In certain churches in New York a
sufficiently high standard is observed.
The music is carefully selected, and
on special occasions cantatas by well
known writer's and portions OF the
familiar Oratorios are creditably per-
formed. But these form the minority.
"At most churches" says Hermann
Klein in his "Unmusical New York"
"the music includes a large portion of
sacred songs Of an ad captandum
type-spurious limitations of the
Mendelssohn- -Gounod style, by writer's
Of the Kapellmeister- musk order, who
make an excellent living out of their
suayely effective effusions. These
pot boilers are little if aught superior
to the much derided British ballad;
but they are supposed to please audi
ences to whom music of higher class
would not make the same appeal.
''The soloist who Is required to sing
this dull, pretentious stuff deserves to
be pitied. Nor can the blame be alto
gether at the door of the organist. II
he be strong man. and in position
to put his foot down, his feelings as a
trained musician and his natural love
for the artistic will assert themselves
to the extent of keeping the sacred pot
boiler out of the service. On the other
hand, he is too frequently obliged to
cater to the whims and fanc1es of his
committee or congregation.
"Thus it is that the mixture of styles
presented by New York church music
| is at times SO inconCeiNably quaint as
| to make a theatre or restaurant pro
gram look positively consistent by
comparison. >.
Take them for all in all, though,
the New York organists are splendid
set of musicians-capable, industrious,
| conscientious, and thorough. Many of
| them, too, are executants Of a superior
| order, whose recitals are we'll worth
attending and of real educative value.
1T is quite in the power Of such men
| to uphold the best traditions Of music
in their churches. They should see to
it that no minor conditions, no petty
desire to crafty an ignoble or vulgar
taste, be permitted to lower by sin
gle notch the exalted standard of the
school in which they themselves were
| reared"

TRIBUTE TO NINE. NORDIcA,

Like several. other great singers,
men and women, Lillian Nordica did
not drive we'll in harness, but this was
not due to q freaktsh temperament
such as many singers feet privileged to
carry as baggage. She was. a woman
with a strong mind Of her own and a
disp position to insist on her own view
OF the consideration due herself, with
somewhat less concern for the oppos-
ing wishes of others than was neces-
sary for complete harmony, or what
passes for such, in opera companies
She was q great singer, who valued
her own worth and gained high emf l.
| nence in her profession. writes The
Sun. New York.
There were two great moments in
Nine. Nordica's career when she tasted
| in abundance the public's enthusiastic
appreciation Of her art. The first was
| in LeiI,sic in the autumn of 1894. when
she fairly beat back the tide of pro-
fessional rivalry or jealousy and both
vocalIy and nistrionicaliy scored a dis
tinguished triumph before audiences
in city of high musical culture and
notoriously hard to please and difficult
to move. She moved them to great
enthusiasm. She won her second great
personal triumph In New York at the
Metropolitan in 1895 when Anton Seidl
lifted UP to her the broad basket of
roses, among which lay. the casket
containing The magnificent diamond
tiara presented by large number OF
her admirers, who thus acclaimed her
queen Of song.
/ Greatest in her Wagneriar roles, she
was able successfully to command q
hearing and win unqualified success
as Violetta in Leipsic. Her art was
j finished and beautiful, and she never
became so completely a citizen Of the
oI,erahouse, but always drew large anC
enthusiastic audiences during her con.
cert tours; in all parts Of this countr,
and in Europe she was sure Of hearth.
