! pony. Dixie, about for miles in thu
grass, which just came up to her short
legs. And every time the child went
on ride Tags ran by the side of hel
pany, soaring up butterflies and other
things.
Col Allen, Tessie's father, did not
like to have Tags about the house, SO
he one morning told the child that the
dog must be sent back East. He was
a very stern man, but very devoted to
his daughter. and did not realize what
sorrow it would be to the girl to
lose her pet.
She somehow was afraid to beg the
Colonel to change his mind and went
about dumb with sadness all day.
Tags jumped along by her side and
not a bit understanding her refusal to
play She wandered about the parade
ground, then down to the stables,
where one of the soldiers put the sad
die on Dixie for her.
Mounting her pony, she and Tags
sped out into the prairie. 1t was just
sunset and the top of the yellow grass
glowed as the pony dashed through it
as if it were waves.

New Ears for New Music

Few laymen appreciate TO what an
extent musical esthetice Is a matter
of psychology. We ordinarily assume
that music expresses by some d.
vine charm. that the composer who
signs of love has discovered the
proper musical statement Of loves
emotion. But musical materials are
not discovered; they are manufac.
tured. II is by habit and repetition,
not by intuition, that we come to &C
cept chords OF dissonance. The major
and minor third of the old music Is
very sweet because It is very ia
miliar. The new bald colors OF fu-
turist music are ugly because they
are strange. Our ears contain little
formulas, so to speak, for the chords
and scales that have been ground
into our consciousness by frequent
hearings. When we hear a new piece
Of music II must agree with them to
some degree, else we feel uncom'
Portable. Now, these formulas
though they thrive on variation, hate
negation. So II the new music ne

sic does, there is no entente possible
