Gruelich turned slowly about and looked at
him.
"No, I'm not tired" he said in thin and
tremuous voice. "You see, had nap be-
fore came up here II find sleep great
deal these days"
Mylott fell back from the light of the fire
and mopped his face.
81 imagine you'd need it, Gruelich, after
some of those nights you went through"
suggested the admiral.
"Yes," assented Gruelich, but the mono
syllable was quite colorless. 81 seem to need
it."
(Which was your worst night over there 2
inquired Spayer, with glance at his watch.
"The worst?" echoed Gruelich in gentle
perplexity He rubbed a hand across his
pale forehead. Then he sighed again.
"They all seemed about the same" he
said, without turning away from the fire.
Then he pulled the points of his collar
away from his thin neck. All his move
ments were so deliberate that they seemed
like the actions Of somnambulst.
isn't it rather warm in here?" he slow
ly and ENORMOUSLY inquired. There was no
reproof in the question, butfwindows were
promptly opened.
Then club steward, treading as noise
lessly as a cat, came and put fresh sticks on
the fading fire.
Gruelich stifened perceptibly as the uni
formed figure moved into his line of vision.
He WINGED at the glitter Of the buttons Sew
eral of his companions noticed that his rigid
body did not relax until the steward left the
room. The flames caught the fresh hickory
and threw shadows about the silent group.
81 wish your fire wouldn't crackle that
way" Gruelich finally complained out of the
silence.
His voice seemed the voice of some one a
great distance away.
"Why?" demanded Crotty, who had been
studying the group from the doorway, as he
entered.
81 don't know why" was the listless an
swer; "but it seems to bother me-
Remind you of the cr-r-r-r-r-rack of q
mitraileuse?" deliberately Intercepted
Spayer, whose patience had been exhausted.
And for that barbarian immediacy the rest
of the circle could have annhilated him.
Gruelich did not answer. But the next mo-
ment they saw him cover his face with his
hands and then draw them slowly downward,

War Tax on
Inspired Noise''

INVOLVING from ragtime and follow
r, ing the Hawaiian musical craze
comes the jazz band music, which
Walter Damrosch called INSPIRED noise"
The jazz band grew up in cabaret where
muscular music was the fitting accom-
paninrent of large slices of beef, planks of
fish, fagons of beer and gobs of soup. The
proposed war tax on cabarets may deeply
wound the jazz band.
A writer in "The Kansas City Star"
finds considerable merriment in the jazz
band, the tale of which he recounts after
this manner:
A Jazz orchestra is a riotous blare Of
sound, sam-bang, knock-'em- down and
drag-'em-out confusion of noises emansting
from musical instruments in the hands of
persons who probably seek retreat in busy
boiler factory when they are in search OF
peace and solitude Jazz is brazen, scream
ing, screeching confusion of whang-banging,
tin-panning, combined with despairing means
and groans from a saxophone.
Any ordinary ragtime piece can be jazzed
A jazz band consists Of five pieces-drums,
saxophone, banjo, piano and trombone.
jazz orchestra may substitute a cornet for
the banjo but the line between the band and
orchestra is so fine that it requires an expert
to detect it, and even he is never sure.
The bulk of the work falls TO the drummer
and the saxophone player. The saxophone
runs wild and does things that cannot be
written in music. The wilder it runs the
better With the drummer recourse is had
to many devces--wash boilers, skillets, COW
bells, tin pans, empty cigar boxes-anything
that will give out noise when beaten. The
other musicians wander off on independent
excursions Of their own in different direc-
tions, each trying TO drown his former
knowledge Of music in instrumental dissipa-
ton.
The fascination Of jazz music lies in its
wild barbarity. Jazz was first given 20 the
world a little more than year ago by five
negro musicians who were playing in a
cabaret resort in Southern city They
played with entire abandon, and the effects
they obtained were so strange that they at
tracted wide attention. Later thtey toured
the country on a vaudeville circuit.

more that he seemed disconcertingy faded,
neutralized into pensive impersonality that
had no trace of the creaking jauntiness Of
his earlier day. When he shook hands,
silently and solemnly, his hand was like a
dead fish, He waited, in moment of staring
indecision, and then settled into his chair
with an audible sigh.
The others stood about, waiting.
He seemed speechlessly grateful for the
enguling soft upholstery. He seemed equal
Nv grateful for the glow from the hearth,
for the discreetly modified light and the or
Derby quietness of the great high-ceilinged
room. But he seemed to be viewing it all
through a mist He reused himself once, and
blinked about the place with his almost
childlke impersonality; then he leaned ba.k
in his chair and lapsed into the silence Of
utter abstraction.
MARI motioned ponderously for cigars and
whiskey and soda. But Gruelich waved them
away with an distracted movement of his
limp hand He was still staring absently
ahead of him into space.
1t was the Senator who spoke.
"You must have had quite trip, Grue-
lich," he prompted in his chesty barytone.
The others stood about like penguins
watching the newcomers face. 1t was quite
without color.

much as turning his head. The voice seemed
as listless as his eyes, and his skin reminded

Summer in England, 1914

ON LONDON fell a clearer light;
~ Caressing pencils of the sun
Defined the distances, the white
Houses TRANSPORTED one by one,
The "long, unlovely street" impearled.
o what sky has walked the world!
Most happy year! And out Of town
The hay was prosperous, and the wheat;
The silken harvest climbed the down.
Moon after moon was heavenly sweet,
Stroking the bread within the sheaves,
Looking 'twixt apples and their leaves.
And while this rose made round her cup,
The armies died cOnvulsed; and when
This chaste young silver sun went up
Softly, thousand shattered men,
One wet corruption, heaped the plain,
After league-long throb of pain.
Flower following tender flower, and birds,
And berries; and benignant skies
Made thrive the serried flocks and herds.
Yonder are men shot through the eyes,
And children crushed. Love, hide thy face
From mans objectionable race.
A REPLY
Who said mo man hath greater love
than this
To die to serve his friend?
So these have loved us all unto the end.
Glide thou no more, thou unsacrificed!
The soldier dying dies upon kiss,
The very kiss Of Christ.

The Soldier

IF should die, think only this of me:
Il That there's some corner of foreign
field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust con-
cealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made
aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways
to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English
air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of
home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts
by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as
her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and
gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English
heaven.
