ed away and left but two receding
Images before him, he looked once
more upon one who had gone to some
unknown land, the son who had so
| mysteriously disappeared from the
| home fellowship and ken and he saw
| again the form of her who had set out
for the land that is beyond the stars,
but not before she had placed in his
hand the precious vase with the pic
tured flute player upon its side.
AT the time he had not fully noted
the significance of the happy urchin
In the red robe as he held his flute to
his lips. Pleasures and pursuits
pressed upon him and left the musi-
clan unnoticed through the days and
nights. But the boy had never ceased
his playing, and now with some re-
membered melody, then with some new
adventure IN the world of harmony,
he seemed to be waiting for the recog-
milton and appreciation that he knew
would come. A steadfast and invet-
crate optimist, he played on; to weari-
ness and loneliness he played a hope
full song; forbidding detection and de-
spair, he became prophet of better
days to come. In solitude and useless
ness he was as an only but changeess
friend To him the old man turned as
TO an oracle. Poverty had taken one
after the other of his possessions, but
had never been able to separate him
from this merry genius.
If the prelude does not get discour-
aged fortune is likely to admire it and
introduce the performance, and this
turned out to be the reward of the
industrious hope of the flute player
He did not hear the step upon the stair
or the knock upon the door, and he
did not see the amazement with which
the Schoolmaster listened to the tale
of his lost son, as he embraced him
and tried to realize that he had in
deed come back and brought good for
tune with him, but even more merrily |
and madly he played in the dance.
